Iron Germany

The jeep of Lieutenant General Francois, commander of the German 11th Army, drove into the city of Lviv. Although there are occasional sporadic gunshots in the city, overall, the German army has controlled the city.

Rows of dejected Russian soldiers passed in front of Lieutenant General François' car in a neat line.

"Colonel Rommel, I bet these Russians formed the most orderly line since they joined the army!" Lieutenant General Francois said with a smile.

"Yes, General. I fully agree with your statement." Colonel Rommel smiled.

In just one day, they took Lviv and wiped out tens of thousands of Russian troops. At the same time, on the Zamosic battlefield, the German attack also came to an end. This made the German attack on the Russian 4th Army almost over. The more than 300,000 people of the Russian 4th Army, except for a very small number, have been wiped out by the German army.

More importantly, they also captured Lvov, the most important supply base of the Russian Southwest Front Army. Without this supply base, the entire Southwest Front Army of the Russian Army may not be able to last much longer. Unless their soldiers are hungry, holding rifles without bullets and fighting fiercely with the German and Austrian allied forces. Otherwise, they can only retreat.

However, will the German army allow the Russian Southwest Front to withdraw so easily? How is that possible. This is the best opportunity to beat the dog in the water! If it is possible to eat up all the Russian Southwest Front Army, it can be regarded as eating up the main force of the Russian Army. This will bring Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire a considerable period of security on the Eastern Front. Even if Russia has completed its mobilization, it has reorganized a large number of troops. However, after losing the elite troops, it is obviously impossible for those newly formed mobs to pose much threat to Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Even, they can easily defeat the Russian army again and win more and greater victories.

"General, we have discovered a large number of Russian material warehouses. The food, ammunition and other combat materials inside are piled up like mountains." A major general reported to Lieutenant General François.

"When the Russians left, they didn't destroy these supplies?" Lieutenant General Francois was shocked. If it were the German army, it would never make such a mistake. After all, even if you can no longer use these materials, you must destroy them so as not to leave them to the enemy. In that case, it is an enemy.

"Perhaps it was because the Russian army retreated in a hurry, so they didn't have time to destroy these supplies." The major general said.

"Haha, that's great. That's a good deal for us!" Lieutenant General Francois was very excited.

Although, the caliber of the cannons of the Russian army is different from that of the German army. The Germans could not use these shells. However, in addition to shells, those food and rifle bullets and machine gun bullets are always common, right? The German army can completely use these materials! In this way, the logistical pressure on the German 8th Army can be greatly reduced, which is more conducive to their continued fighting in this war.

"Inform the headquarters and His Royal Highness the news of our victory. Then, let me see what good things the Russians have left for us." Lieutenant General François ordered.

"Yes, General." A staff officer immediately went to send a telegram.

Uzhhorod, Austrian Army Command. Marshal Herzendorf looked very tired. He was already very old, and he was well maintained before, but he didn't think so much. However, the battle continued for several days. Marshal Herzendorf looked much older. Age spots that were not obvious before are now fully visible.

It is conceivable how much pressure Marshal Herzendorf is under now.

On the front line, the Russian attack continued. Although, the strength of the attack is not as great as before. However, the battle was still very fierce. This also caused the casualties of the Austrian army to increase. The 4th Austrian Army, which serves as a reserve force, has all been transferred to the front line. However, the current front is still stalemate. Although, the casualties of the Russian army were much greater than those of the Austrian army. But under their continuous attacks, the Austrian army began to gradually show its decline.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, although the battle is tense, you should rest well! Otherwise, your body will be overwhelmed." Qin Tian said with concern. He's young and it's no big deal to stay up for a few days. But Marshal Herzendorf, Baron, is already in his sixties.

"His Royal Highness, I'm fine. As long as we can win this battle, what's the big deal even if I collapse?" Baron Marshal Herzendorf looked indifferent.

"Your Highness, is there any new information from the front line?" Marshal Herzendorf asked.

"The 11th Army of the 8th Army and part of the 8th Armored Division have already started to attack Lvov. It is said that the Russian army in the city is not prepared at all. This battle should be very smooth!" Qin Tian said with a smile.

"That's good! After taking Lviv, we won't be far away from winning this battle." Baron Herzendorf smiled all over his face.

"Your Highness, General François has sent a telegram!" Brigadier General Manstein reported to Qin Tian with a smile on his face.

"Is it good news?" Qin Tian asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, that's good news. General François and the others have captured Lviv. The main force of the Russian Fourth Army has been wiped out. Only a handful of troops have fled Lviv. The large amount of combat materials stored by the Russian army in Lviv has all fallen into our hands." Brigadier General Manstein said.

"Haha, that's great. I originally thought that the 11th Army would be able to take Lvov tomorrow, but I didn't expect that they would have succeeded today!" Qin Tian also had a look of ecstasy.

"Your Highness, congratulations. You have the most powerful army in Europe and even in the world." Marshal Baron Herzendorf smiled, and at the same time, there was envy in his eyes that could not be concealed.

"Your Excellency the Marshal, you should congratulate us. The 8th Army has already captured Lviv. Next, it is time for the Russians to be summoned. I think we are not far from winning this time. Only , the only thing that is uncertain now is how large a victory we can achieve." Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness. We have already won this battle. Without Lvov and the combat supplies there, the Russians can't last much longer." Marshal Herzendorf was beaming.
