On September 8, Qin Tian and others were less than 50 kilometers away from Warsaw. An infantry division of the 11th Army of the 8th Army of the German Army even approached a small town only ten kilometers away from Warsaw, and had a firefight with the Russian troops stationed here.
After a slight resistance, the Russian army retreated into the city of Warsaw.
Obviously, the Russian Northwest Front Army, which was almost wiped out, no longer has the ability to confront the German army. The reason why they shrink their forces and give up a large area of territory except Warsaw is that they hope to be able to hold out in Warsaw until the arrival of reinforcements.
Chekhanow, City Hall. It has been requisitioned by the 8th Army of the German Army and has become the temporary headquarters of the 8th Army in the Kingdom of Poland. Qin Tian, General Hindenburg, Major General Ludendorff and others work here.
"Your Highness, the forward of the 11th Army has arrived in Warsaw, and they request to launch an attack on Warsaw." Colonel Manstein reported.
"An infantry division attacked Warsaw? Can it be taken?" Qin Tian asked.
"Your Highness, in Warsaw, there are only 20,000 Russian troops at most. And they are 20,000 Russian troops with weak fighting will. If one of our infantry divisions defeats them and then takes Warsaw, there should be no problem." Hindenburg The general said confidently.
An infantry division of the 8th Army, although the number is only more than 16,000 people. However, their equipment is much, much more advanced than the Russian army. It can be said that compared with the poorly equipped Russian army, it is completely armed to the teeth. It is not a problem at all to defeat more than 20,000 Russian troops with one infantry division.
Qin Tian nodded: "Everyone said, shall we take Warsaw?"
"Your Highness, the staff believes that keeping Warsaw is more beneficial to us than taking Warsaw." Major General Ludendorff said.
"Oh? Does the staff have any plans?" Qin Tian asked.
"General Hoffmann, please introduce the battle plan submitted by the War Department to His Highness!" Major General Ludendorff said.
"Yes, Chief of Staff." Brigadier General Hoffman stood up.
"Your Highness, the main purpose of our current operations in the Kingdom of Poland is to occupy the Kingdom of Poland. The threats to us are the Russian Ninth Army and the Second Guards Army. As for the Northwest Front Army in Warsaw The remnants of the enemy are no longer a cause for concern. We only need to leave an infantry regiment in Warsaw to guard against them. Our main force is used to deal with the two fronts of the Russian army.
As the capital of the Kingdom of Poland, Warsaw, the 9th Army of the Russian Army and the 2nd Army of the Guards will definitely come for reinforcements. And we will use Warsaw as a bait to attack the two Russian armies. said Brigadier General Hoffman.
Qin Tian understood what he meant, and he planned to gather around the spot for help. However, this is indeed a very good way. To occupy the Kingdom of Poland, the most important thing is to defeat the two Russian army groups that came to rescue the Northwest Front Army. After defeating them, naturally all problems can be solved. Warsaw will fall into their hands easily like a ripe peach.
"Yes. This strategy is very feasible. However, I also make a request." Qin Tian said.
"What request does Your Highness have?" Major General Ludendorff asked.
"The two armies of the Russian army should not be defeated, but encircled and wiped out, and wiped out as much as possible." Qin Tian said. Russia has too many people and too many troops. If it can be wiped out, it must not just be defeated. If Germany wants to defeat Russia, or even destroy Russia, you have to find ways to get rid of their vital forces.
"Yes, Your Highness. We will do our best." Major General Ludendorff said.
"What is the specific battle plan?" Qin Tian asked.
"Your Highness, the 9th Army of the Russian Army has arrived in Lublin, and the 2nd Guards Army is in Bia Stok. Lublin is about 120 kilometers away from Warsaw. Bia is Stok. Warsaw is 150 kilometers away. We plan to launch a siege to one of the two Russian armies after they approach Warsaw. With the 8th Armored Division as the vanguard, their defenses can be easily torn apart .The infantry will advance further, so as to crush them and eat them in one fell swoop. After eating one army group, they will attack another army group. Our troops can be transported by a large number of trucks, much faster than the Russian army. So, don't be afraid of them slipping away." Brigadier General Hoffman said.
The tactics adopted by the 8th Army this time can be described as quite simple. But they have strong strength as a support, even if it is a simple tactic, the probability of success is very high. At least, so far, no Russian army can withstand the attack of the 8th Armored Division. They can easily smash the defense of the Russian army and open the way for the subsequent infantry attack. Even, directly defeated the Russian army.
"At that time, which group of the Russian army is closer to us, we will attack that group first. However, at this time, we must prevent the other Russian army from coming to the rescue." Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Major General Ludendorff and others nodded.
In the battle against the Russian army, the German army seldom needs to rely on subtle tactics to win, and can crush the Russian army directly with its strong strength. But if you face the armies of Britain, France and other countries, you need to be a little more cautious. Although the firepower of the 8th Army is also stronger than that of the British and French allied forces, other German troops will not have much advantage.
Although Russia is one of the great powers, their army is not very powerful. The reason why they can be among the great powers is entirely because they have too many troops. So much so that other countries are terrified.
After the 8th Army of the German Army determined the tactics of besieging and attacking aid, it only besieged and did not attack Warsaw. Even, except for the infantry division of the 11th Army, the other troops did not even approach Warsaw anymore, but began to rest. A large number of materials from Germany were transported by road to various troops to prepare for the war.
The 9th Army of the Russian Army and the 2nd Army of the Guards continued to advance towards Warsaw. However, after entering the territory of Poland, the actions of the Russian army became more cautious, and the speed of advancement also slowed down a lot, with a maximum of 20 to 30 kilometers a day. In this case, it will take nearly a week to arrive in Warsaw.
Regarding the slow action of the Russian army, the German army is naturally somewhat dissatisfied with the slowdown. In order to urge the Russian army to move faster, the German army began to pretend to attack Warsaw.
