On September 11, the 2nd Guards Army of the Russian Army arrived in Ruststrof. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, the German 8th Army had already arrived at the predetermined attack position. The 11th Army, which appeared west of Ruststrof, and the 8th Panzer Division, also in front of the 2nd Guards Army of the Russian Army, took up a position.

The 2nd Guards Army of the Russian Army, as soon as it arrived in Ruststruff, found out that something was wrong. This situation was immediately reported to the commander of the 2nd Guards Army, Colonel-General Krapovich.

"General, a large number of Germans were found in Rustrust. They got in front of us. A general reported to Admiral Krapovich. His face was full of horror. Along the way, there were no encounters with German troops. And now that the Germans have appeared in front of them, what this means, will undoubtedly be clear.

"Damn! Are the Germans going to target us for their attacks? Admiral Krapovich thought of this almost immediately.

No wonder the Germans had not moved before, it turned out that they were waiting for them here. Admiral Krapovich, who had known for a long time that the Germans were not so easy to deal with. Therefore, after entering the territory of the Kingdom of Poland, he has always been cautious. But I didn't expect that, Ivan? Gilinsky, that idiot, actually forced him to rush to Warsaw. Well, now, finally hit the muzzle of the Germans.

Admiral Krapovich had no doubt that the Germans were ready for battle and were waiting for them to crash into themselves.

"General, what should we do now? Do you want to retreat immediately? One of the generals suggested. After all, in the information they learned, the German army was very strong. Although the 2nd Guards Army had more than 200,000 elite troops. But if you fight against the Germans, I am afraid it will be difficult to win.

"Retreat? How is that possible? We are the most elite units of the Imperial Russian Army, and His Majesty the Tsar will not spare us if we retreat like this. What's more, Ivan? That guy Gilinsky has been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time. Another general retorted.

Admiral Krapovich nodded, it was true that he could not retreat like this. Ivan? Admiral Gilinsky had long been eager to put a basin of on their heads. If you retreat now, it will undoubtedly take the initiative to hand over the handle to Ivan? Gilinsky's hand. Admiral Krapovich could even be expected in Ivan? Gilinsky must have shouted excitedly, and then complained to Tsar Nicholas II that Warsaw, and indeed all of Poland, had fallen solely because of the non-cooperation of the 2nd Guards Army. When the time comes, Admiral Krapovich will probably not be able to eat and walk away. He would never do such a thing.

"General, I'm afraid that even if we want to retreat now, we won't be able to retreat. A German unit appeared to the east of us. "A colonel officer reported to Admiral Krapovich.

"Shhh Suddenly, all the Russian generals couldn't help but gasp. Because they found out that the German army's tactics were completely trying to eat the entire Russian Guards 2nd Army! Their group army has more than 200,000 men. No matter how powerful the Germans are, they can't easily eat them, right? What's more, there is also a Russian 9th Army, which is close at hand.

"Damn the Germans, they're too arrogant, aren't they? Will they still be able to resist the attack of the 9th Army while eating us? Are they not afraid of the enemy on their backs? A Russian general scolded.

"Maybe that's what the Germans were going to do. Let's not forget that this is how the North-Western Front was defeated on the territory of East Prussia before. While encircling and annihilating the 2nd Army, they also pinned down the 1st Army. ”

"Humph! This time was different. We are the 2nd Guards Army, but it is an elite unit. In addition, the distance between us and the 9th Army is not far. If the 9th Army came to our rescue, it would only take two days to arrive. ”

The generals of the 2nd Guards Army of the Russian Army made a noise.

However, Admiral Krapovich's face was gloomy and a little frightening.

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing. Command the troops, deploy them on the spot, strengthen the defenses as much as possible, and be prepared for a hard battle with the Germans. In addition, send a telegram to the 9th Army to tell General Retzsky that we are afraid that we have fallen into the trap of the Germans. Now, the 2nd Guards Army is about to be besieged by the Germans, and he is asked to come to our rescue with all his might. Otherwise, the 2nd Guards Army would be in danger. If we were eaten by the Germans, the 9th Army would definitely not be able to withstand the Germans' attack. Admiral Krapovich said.

In order to prevent the 9th Army from dying and not being saved, General Krapovich made it clear that if the 2nd Guards Army was destroyed, the 9th Army would not end well.

Although, before Admiral Krapovich and Admiral Retzsky together against Ivan? Colonel-General Gilinsky. However, he did not dare to guarantee that Admiral Retzsky would not die now.

"Yes, General." The staff officer immediately went to telegraph.

Under the threat of the Germans, the entire Russian 2nd Guards Army immediately went into action. A large number of Russian soldiers, urged by the officers, began to dig trenches and build defensive positions. Because it is a plain nearby, it is basically a zone that is not safe to defend. Therefore, the Russian army was able to strengthen its defenses only by digging trenches. As for whether they could withstand the German attack, they had to pray to God.

The 9th Army of the Russian Army, after learning of what had happened to the 2nd Guards Army, also immediately stopped its operations. Admiral Letzsky even sent troops to search the nearby area to prevent them from falling into the trap of the Germans.

Fortunately, there were no German troops around them, which made Admiral Letzsky breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, Admiral Letzsky can also be sure that if the Russian 9th Army wants to rescue the 2nd Guards Army, it will inevitably be blocked by the Germans. There is hardly any doubt about it. Since the Germans were going to attack the 2nd Guards Army, they would do their best to achieve this goal. For the 9th Army of the Russian army, it must have been prepared for a long time.

However, Colonel-General Rezsky, apparently, could not have come to the rescue of the 2nd Guards Army. As Admiral Krapovich said, as soon as the 2nd Guards Army was eaten, it was their turn next.

Admiral Letzsky was not confident that he would defeat the Germans with the 9th Army alone.
