Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar chapter 460

“Your Royal Highness, the Imperial Army’s defense line in the north of the Carpathians has been broken through by the Russians several times in succession. Now, only the last two lines of defense remain. However, it seems that it will not last much time. In three days at most, the line of defense will be broken through by the Russians. At that time, the Russians will be able to drive straight in and sweep the entire Kingdom of Bohemia! “The Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Baron Herzendov, had a worried face.

“How so? How can the Russians be so tough? This is not scientific at all! We are not familiar there, but the trench defense line! And it was almost the Germanic hand-in-hand trench defense line that guided us to build. No matter how strong the Russians are, they will not be able to break through our trench defense line in a short period of time! Otherwise, the battlefield on the Western Front would not have been able to fight like this! Karl Da’s “717” Gong looked puzzled and resentful.

Previously, he realized that Austria-Hungary would be very dangerous in the face of a Russian attack.

However, he was confident in the Austro-Hungarian Army’s defensive lines, and believed that he would be able to withstand the Russian attack. Perhaps, you can also take this opportunity to hit the Russians hard and make them pay a heavy price.

However, the battle had only just begun, and the Russians were already about to break through the trench defense line that they had great hopes for, which was beyond their expectations!

“Your Royal Highness, according to reports from the front, the Russians used a large number of tanks in battle. It is the tanks used on the battlefield on the Western Front. However, the Russians’ tanks are more advanced, more flexible, and more powerful. Compared to tanks that never set on the sun, there is no longer a level at all.

It is unbelievable that the Russians were able to develop such an advanced tank. And the tank, this weapon, as if it were the nemesis of trench warfare. So much so that the trenches we built could not withstand the attack of the Russians at all. ”

Baron Herzendorf had a bitter look on his face.

Obviously, he did not expect this to be the case.

“It’s over, it’s all over! If we have no way to withstand the attack of the Russians. Then, the entire line of defense will collapse. Behind the Carpathian defense line, there is the plain area, which is almost impossible to defend! Archduke Karl was completely panicked at this moment.

If it could not withstand the Russian attack, the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire would suffer great losses. There is even a risk of collapse!

“Your Excellency Marshal, what should we do now?” Archduke Karl asked.

“Your Royal Highness, we have no other way now, we must do our best to resist the Russian attack. Immediately increase the number of troops on the front line and find a way to resist the Russian attack. Also, ask the Germans for help, hoping that the Germans will provide us with reinforcements! Marshal Baron Herzendorf said.

Archduke Karl smiled bitterly, he obviously thought it wasn’t such a good idea.

On the one hand, the Russians attacked fiercely, and the Austro-Hungarian Army could not bear it at all. Even if the increase in troops continues, I am afraid that it will not have any effect. You know, the troops they deployed on the Carpathian defense line are as many as three million people! This is already half of the current strength of the Austro-Hungarian Army. Even if they increase their troops, how much more will they be able to deploy?

On the other hand, the Germans were completely trapped on the Western Front. The Germans did not fall on the same day and the Gauls attacked Verdun and the Somme respectively, and both sides had already killed red eyes and paid huge losses. Under such circumstances, even if Austria-Hungary faced a huge crisis, they could not rescue it in time!

The final result, I am afraid, will still depend on Austria-Hungary itself. And will they, on their own, be able to withstand the attack of the Russians? This is undoubtedly very, very difficult!

“Just do it!” Grand Duke Karl said helplessly.

He really has no other way but to use a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

As for whether it can withstand the attack of the Russians and whether it can hold out, it may depend on God’s will.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince!” Marshal Baron Herzendorf replied. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

In fact, now there are not many reserves of the Austro-Hungarian Army.

In the Carpathian defense line, they deployed three million men. In order to withstand the attack of the Balkan Front of the Tsarist Imperial Army, they had to reinforce the battlefield of the Kingdom of Serbia.

This left the Austro-Hungarian Army with only one million reserves. Even if all these million people are sent to the battlefield, I am afraid that it will not be able to play much role. The current situation was extremely bad for Austria-Hungary.

Under the orders of Marshal Baron Herzendorf, the Austro-Hungarian Army sent half a million more men to the front, hoping to withstand the Russian attack. But alas, all this was in vain.

On the morning of August 8, 1816, the Western Front of the Tsarist Imperial Army, with armored forces as the forerunner, successfully broke through the trench positions built by the Austro-Hungarian Army in the northern Carpathian Mountains.

All seven lines of defense built here by the Austro-Hungarian Army were broken through by the Russians.

Of course, the 5 armored brigades of the Russian army also paid a lot of losses because of this.

Three hundred tanks and six hundred armored vehicles, more than half of which have already been scrapped.

Most of them were damaged by mechanical failure.

Although the losses were large, it was able to easily break through the trench defense line of the Austro-Hungarian Army, which was already very good.

The armored units of the Tsarist Imperial Army temporarily stopped the offensive and began to receive tanks and armored vehicles from the country so that 5.9 Yu could recover its strength as soon as possible and put it into the next offensive.

The rest of the Western Front continued the offensive.

After breaking through the Carpathian defense line of the Austro-Hungarian Army, although it was not a flat river. However, there is basically no danger.

The entire 7 armies of the Western Front began to march straight in, launching an offensive towards the important city of Brno in the southern part of the Kingdom of Bohemia. Once you take this place, then the next step is not far from Viena.

This already posed a substantial threat to Austria-Hungary. Once it could not be resisted, Viena was occupied by the Russian Imperial Army. Then, naturally, Austria-Hungary was completely finished. This war would end with a crushing defeat for Austria-Hungary.
