Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar chapter 402

The advantage of the Tsarist Imperial Army, in addition to its strength, is mainly firepower.

To strengthen the firepower of the troops, the Tsarist Imperial Army was equipped with a large number of automatic firepower. Each infantry squad was equipped with a light machine gun as standard, each infantry platoon had a heavy machine gun and a mortar, and the infantry company was equipped with two additional mortars and two large-caliber heavy machine guns.

Under such circumstances, once in a defensive operation, with the help of fortifications, you can give full play to your own firepower superiority. Even the Germans, if they want to defeat the Tsarist Imperial Army in such a situation, it is definitely not so easy. Even, it will pay a very heavy price for this.

At this point, Mikhail and the top brass of the Tsarist Imperial Army are still very confident.

“Your Majesty, from the information we have obtained so far, it is very likely that the offensive troops invested by the Germans will be as high as more than three million. This was undoubtedly a great threat to the Northwestern Front. Even in defensive operations, they are under a lot of pressure. After all, the Germans are definitely the most formidable opponents that the Imperial Army has faced in all these years!” said Marshal Brusilov, Chief of the General Staff.

Mikhail nodded: “Two million versus three million, the Northwest Front is indeed under great pressure. This is true even in defensive combat. Especially against the Germans. How many reserves do we have?”

“Your Majesty, at present, only the 7 group armies formed by the fourth batch can go to the battlefield. Including the 36th Army, 37th Army, 38th Army, 39th Army, 40th Army, 41st Army and 42nd Army. War Minister General Sukhomlinov replied.

7 army groups, more than 1.4 million people.

However, even if all 7 armies were sent to the battlefield. The Tsarist Imperial Army also did not have much advantage in terms of strength. It was also not so easy to defeat the Germans.

“What about the mobilization of the fifth batch’~?” asked Mikhail.

“Your Majesty, the mobilization of the fifth batch is already underway. The 13 newly formed armies have already recruited enough troops and are undergoing training. However, the training has only been for a month. It will take at least four or five months before it can form combat effectiveness and be suitable for dispatch to the battlefield. General Sukhomlinov replied.

Mikhail nodded: “The Northwestern Front, plus the reserves of 7 army groups, can it hold out for four or five months? However, with the help of the vast territory and the huge strategic depth, it is still completely fine to hold out for a few more months. By that time, the mobilization of the fifth batch will be completed, and we will have as many as 13 army groups at our disposal. It was perfectly possible to launch a counterattack against the Germans. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” General Sukhomlinov nodded repeatedly.

No matter how strong the Germans were, they could not have crushed the Russian Imperial Army in just a few months. Once the newly mobilized troops of the Russian Empire completed their training and formed combat effectiveness. Then, it was even more difficult for the Germans to defeat the Russian Empire.

What happened to the Western Front and the Southwestern Front, able to withstand the attacks of Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Romemuda?” asked Mikhail.

After the attack of the Germans, the main power of the Russian Empire was undoubtedly placed on the Germanic Empire. In other directions, it is not so important.

“At present, although the Southwestern Front has paid a lot of losses. However, it still withstood the attacks of the Austro-Hungarian Army and the Army of the Kingdom of Romenia. At the same time, with the arrival of reinforcements, the front has stabilized. The Austro-Hungarian Army and the Army of the Kingdom of Romenia could hardly launch a large-scale offensive with huge losses. Or rather, it will be difficult to break our Southwestern Front again.

But at the moment there is a situation where the Western Front is in danger. Although in the previous battles, they completely withstood the attack of the Austro-Hungarian Army, and even severely damaged the Austro-Hungarian Army, occupying a considerable advantage on the battlefield. However, as the Germans joined in, they could be attacked by the Germans.

Once the Germanic troops outflanked their backroads, I am afraid it would be more troublesome. Therefore, the Western Front needed to stop the offensive at this time and go on the defensive. Especially the focus is on guarding against the Germans!”

Marshal Brusilov suggested.

Mikhail nodded repeatedly: “You can’t take risks at this time, you must be cautious.” First fend off the enemy’s attack, and then try to counterattack. Time is on our side, and the longer time drags on, the better it will be for us!” (Read violent novels, go to Feilu Fiction Network!)

“‘Yes, Your Majesty!'” both Marshal Brusilov and General Sukhomlinov replied.

“Your Majesty, the Germans have invested a lot of aircraft in the attack. Of course, their aircraft mainly conduct reconnaissance and provide calibrated fire for artillery. With the Imperial Air Force in existence for so long, can it also be put into battle, so that it can not only take out Germanic aircraft, but also support the ground forces!” said General Sukhomlinov, Minister of War.

Mikhail hesitated, then nodded.

“Now that the war has begun, the Imperial Air Force no longer needs to hide it. Order the Imperial Air Force to reinforce the Northwestern Front. Launch an attack on the ground forces of the Germans while ensuring air supremacy, so that the Northwestern Front can hold out under the Germanic attack!” ordered Mikhail.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” replied General Sukhomlinov.

Because of Mikhail’s attention, the air force of the Russian Empire is definitely the earliest developed among the countries of the world. In terms of technology, it is also the most advanced.

When the planes of various countries were similar to toys and could only undertake some simple combat missions, the Russian Imperial Air Force was already equipped with fighters and bombers that could be put into actual combat.

It’s just that, in order to keep it secret, the Russian Imperial Air Force did not enter the battle just after the outbreak of the war.

Now even the Germans have launched an attack on the Russian Empire. Then, naturally, the Russian Imperial Air Force no longer needs to hide, and it can be fully engaged in battle. It also let other countries know how powerful the Russian Empire was. Let them know that the Russian Empire was definitely ahead of the whole world in aviation.
