Germanic Empire: please call me William III

“Your Excellency, Commander, the Russians have surrendered, and we have won the battle!” Major General Max Hoffman was very pleased.
It took them only three days to completely annihilate the 2nd Army of the Russian Army, a much larger force than their total strength!
Especially when they were facing two armies of the Russian Army at the same time.
Moreover, the 9th Army of the Germanic Empire army in this battle, due to the heavy use of aircraft, tanks and artillery and other technical units, so that although they consumed a lot of ammunition, their own losses were very small.
Under this war, the situation in East Prussia as a whole had been reversed.
The 9th Army of the Germanic Empire already had absolute superiority.
If the 1st Army and the 2nd Army of the Russian Army had attacked them before, the entire Germanic Army’s 9th Army was in jeopardy. Even the whole of East Prussia could fall.
But now, the dangerous situation has been completely changed.
“Very well, the 4th Panzer Division, with tanks and armored vehicles capable of continuing the battle, bypassed Lake Masuria and attacked the flank rear of the 1st Army of the Russian Army. The 9th Cavalry Brigade, as well as several infantry divisions, also followed. We need to hurry up so that the 1st Army of the Russian Army will not slip away. General Hindenburg had a smile on his face.
“Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!” Major General Max Hoffman replied.
“In addition, we request the Air Force to continue to support us, preparing to attack the 1st Army of the Russian Army that is trying to escape, and to slow down their retreat.” We have to do everything we can to get rid of them all!” General Hindenburg ordered.
Apparently, after the total annihilation of the 2nd Army of the Russian Army, General Hindenburg’s appetite was also greater.
He wanted to eat the 1st Army of the Russian Army as well. In this way, we will not only be able to further expand the results of the battle, but also create a more favorable situation for the next stage of the operation.
“Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!” Major General Max Hoffmann would arrive at General Hindenburg’s intentions.
After the order was given, the units of the 9th Army of the Germanic Empire did not hesitate to rest and embarked on the journey again.
The tanks and armored vehicles of the 4th Panzer Division, as well as the cavalry of the 9th Cavalry Brigade, like a sharp knife, shot at the flank of the 1st Army of the Russian Army.
The remaining infantry divisions, in trucks, followed close behind.
After the troops were equipped with a large number of trucks, the speed of the Germanic Army was greatly improved.
A person’s two legs are always incomparable to the wheels of a car. This is especially true in areas with developed transportation.
If the traffic in the Territory of the Tsarist Empire was bad, it might have limited the speed of the Germanic Army’s advance. However, the transport facilities within East Prussia were perfected. This created favorable conditions for the rapid transfer of the Germanic Army.
The 1st Army of the Russian Army, this time I am afraid that it is also less fierce.
North of Lake Masuri, the Russian 1st Army was still storming the Germanic Army’s defensive lines.
However, after many days of fierce fighting, their advance speed was very slow.
Or rather, this was entirely due to the deliberate retreat of the Germanic Army, leading them further ahead. Otherwise, they will be stuck there dead and will not be allowed to take half a step forward.
Moreover, these days, the huge losses have made the generals of the 1st Army of the Russian Army almost doubt their lives.
The entire 1st Army had more than 200,000 men, and now the casualties had exceeded 50,000.
The losses they inflicted on the Germanic Army were much smaller.
“Damn, what the hell is the 2nd Army doing?” They contained the main germans, so why didn’t they take the opportunity to launch an onslaught and defeat the Germans? General Lenningkamp was very annoyed.
In his opinion, they had created extremely favorable conditions for the 2nd Army. But why didn’t the 2nd Army of the Russian Army seize this opportunity?
“Your Excellency, Commander, the 2nd Army has sent a telegram that they have encountered the main forces of the Germanic Army, asking us to move quickly closer to them and reinforce them!” Major General Mikhail said.
“! The main force of the Germans is clearly on our side? Samsonov that guy, clearly wants to embarrass us on purpose! General Leninkamp scolded.
General Leinenkamp was convinced that the main force of the Germanic Army’s 9th Army was on their side.
However, two days later, General Leninkamp again received a telegram from the 2nd Army, informing that the 2nd Army had been completely annihilated by the Germanic Imperial Army.
This news stunned General Leninkamp.
He could not believe that the troops in front of them were really not the main force of the Germanic Imperial Army, but only a small force, and actually blocked them.
What made him even more panicked was that the 2nd Army was completely annihilated.
You know, the 2nd Army has more troops than their 1st Army!
The Germans, while resisting them, annihilated the 2nd Army. It can be seen how strong the Germanic people were.
“Your Excellency, Commander, the 2nd Army has been completely annihilated, and the Germans will certainly attack us, we are already very dangerous!” Maj. Gen. Andre said.
“Yes, Sir, sir, the Germans will certainly not spare us.” Major General Mikhail echoed.
General Leninkamp is apparently equally aware of this problem.
Immediately, he gave the order to retreat the whole army, wanting to retreat early to avoid being surrounded by the Germanic Army.
But unfortunately, he woke up too late.
The Air Force of the Germanic Empire intensified its bombardment of them.
A large number of fighters hovered over their heads, constantly strafing.
At the same time, roads and bridges were bombed by the Germanic Air Force. This greatly affected the speed of their retreat.
In such a situation, they want to escape, which is simply delusional!
On the other side, the armored, cavalry and infantry units of the 9th Army of the Germanic Empire had swerved from the flanks.
In the end, except for a few cavalry units of the Russian Army who escaped from the encirclement and escaped by speed, the rest of the troops were surrounded by the 9th Army of the GermanIc Empire and annihilated on the north side of Lake Mazuli.
The 9th Army of the Germanic Empire, with fewer victories and more, annihilated more than 400,000 Russian troops and won a brilliant victory.
