“Your Majesty, the 1st Army of the Imperial Army in Bulgaria has withstood the attacks of Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire and inflicted great losses on them. The 3rd and 4th armies also resisted the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman attacks.

Because the losses were not small, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire had gradually reduced their attack. It is indeed ripe to launch a counterattack at this time! ”

General Brushilov, chief of the General Staff of the Tsarist Empire, said.

“Then, order the troops on the front line to prepare to launch a counterattack. Solve Austria-Hungary first and bring them down. And then deal with the Ottoman Empire with all your might! Mikhail said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Brushilov replied.

“Your Majesty, the Germans probably won’t want to see us defeat Austria-Hungary. Or rather, Austria-Hungary will not be willing to pay larger losses. When the time comes, they will definitely meddle. Army Minister General Sukhhomelinov said.

Mikhail nodded, he naturally knew this very well.

Austria-Hungary, as a staunch ally of the Germanic Empire, naturally did not watch them being hit hard. The Germans also counted on the future that if war broke out, Austria-Hungary would give them a strong boost.

If Austria-Hungary now loses a lot, it will undoubtedly be a drain on the strength of the entire Central Power.

“Prepare the 1st and 3rd armies to stop the offensive at any time as soon as the Germans show signs of meddling. Of course, the Germans most likely did not get directly involved in the war. As long as we see it when the time comes, we will accept it, and do not force Austria-Hungary too much. Then, there should be no problem.

This time, our main target was again the Ottomans. On the Austro-Hungarian side, a little advantage is enough. When you have another chance in the future, deal with Austria-Hungary again! ”

Mikhail had already thought about it and knew that now was not the time to bring down Austria-Hungary.

Besides, this time the Russian Empire wants to seize the Ottoman Empire’s Rumilia, and it will inevitably be under great pressure. At this time, it was impossible to offend Austria-Hungary and the Germanic Empire behind them. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Both Admiral Brushilov and Admiral Sukhomlinov answered one after another.

On August 30, 1798, the main forces of the 1st Army and the 3rd Army of the Russian Imperial Army began to launch a fierce attack on the 2nd Army and the 1st Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army, respectively.

The commander of the 1st Army, General Gurko, in order to defeat the 2nd Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army in one fell swoop, even transferred four cavalry brigades originally assigned to the troops of the southern front.

The Ottoman army on the southern front had already suffered considerable losses and could not pose a threat to them for the time being. Ten infantry divisions were left behind, enough to withstand their attack.

Gathering more superior forces to defeat Austria-Hungary in one fell swoop is the most important thing at the moment.

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Artillery pieces fired fiercely at the Austro-Hungarian army lines.

The soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Army could only passively endure. Their artillery and artillery, which had already suffered heavy losses in the previous battles, did not have much left, and could not compete with the artillery of the Tsarist Imperial Army.

One shell after another fell on the positions of the Austro-Hungarian Army, leaving craters one after another. The scattered shrapnel harvested the lives of these Austro-Hungarian soldiers.

A large number of soldiers were blown to pieces, which caused the already low morale of the Austro-Hungarian army to drop a lot.

Thousands of guns, prepared for an hour of fire.

The heavy artillery fire caused the front-line troops of the Austro-Hungarian Army to pay huge losses. At the same time, the morale of the troops was once again hit hard.

“Your Royal Highness, the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia, uncharacteristically took the initiative to launch a fierce attack, and they are about to launch a counterattack.” Admiral Offenberg had a serious expression.

Now the situation of the 2nd Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army is very bad, and the losses of troops are not small. At the same time, morale has also suffered a heavy blow. This is undoubtedly very unfavorable for the next battle.

Archduke Ferdinand’s face turned blue, as if he could not accept such a fact.

In his previous vision, this time they could easily defeat the Russian Imperial Army and win a brilliant victory. But now, everything is upside down.

“Order all the front-line units to hold the line and resist the attacks of those damned barbarians. In addition, ask for help from home, we need more reinforcements! Grand Duke Ferdinand ordered.

Even at this time, he didn’t want to give up.

It’s just that Archduke Ferdinand seems to have forgotten. Although Austria-Hungary mobilized this time, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the country were still training, and there was no combat effectiveness at all.

Expecting these recruits to rescue them is simply delusional.
