“Your Excellency, Commander, our troops have successfully broken through the Austro-Hungarian army lines and are continuing their attacks. The Austro-Hungarian army suffered huge losses, and many units had already begun to collapse! Major General Boris had a smile on his face.

The collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Army was undoubtedly a great victory for the Russian Imperial Army. Predictably, they are about to win a brilliant victory.

Admiral Gulco couldn’t help but get excited.

In war, when troops suffer the greatest casualties, they often collapse.

The Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia seized this opportunity and was bound to be able to inflict heavy damage on the Austro-Hungarian Army.

“Order the front-line units to continue the offensive. In addition, the cavalry units must also speed up and block the enemy’s rear. This time, we will strive for the complete annihilation of the 2nd Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army and capture Archduke Ferdinand, the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary! Admiral Gurko ordered.

“Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!” Major General Boris replied.

The main forces of the 1st Army of the Imperial Russian Army, fiercely attacked. The Austro-Hungarian Army front-line units suffered heavy losses and have collapsed. One force after another, almost on the verge of collapse.

Moreover, there were already a large number of troops surrendering to the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia on the battlefield.

This made the Austro-Hungarian Army already lose a lot in this battle, and there was no chance to turn over.

By this time in the war, the side of the 1st Army of the Russian Imperial Army could almost be regarded as a decisive victory. Next, it was only necessary to launch an attack according to the plan step by step, and the 2nd Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army could be crushed in one fell swoop.

At the same time, the main forces of the 3rd Army of the Russian Imperial Army attacked the 1st Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army, which also made great progress. The previous attacks of the 1st Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army were not very strong. Therefore, the loss is not large.

But even so, they could not withstand the attack of the main forces of the 3rd Army of the Russian Imperial Army.

It’s just that Archduke Friedrich, who commanded the 1st Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army, had a lifetime of military service and rich experience. The troops were ordered to retreat at the first time, instead of resisting the Russian Imperial Army.

Therefore, although their defense line was broken through by the 3rd Army of the Tsarist Imperial Army. However, the losses were not very large.

On the other hand, the 2nd Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army is now in a very bad situation.

“Your Royal Highness, the offensive of the Tsarist army is too fierce, our losses are very large, the front-line troops have collapsed, and they simply cannot hold on.” Admiral Offenberg said anxiously.

Originally, Archduke Ferdinand wanted to hold on until reinforcements arrived at home.

But now it seems that this is simply delusional!

Before reinforcements arrived, they would be completely annihilated by the Imperial Russian Army.

“Order the troops, immediately retreat, withdraw to the mainland!” Archduke Ferdinand knew that he could not continue to hold on. Otherwise, they would really be all gone.

Although, it was completely different from the victory he expected. If you retreat now, as long as you can successfully withdraw to the mainland, you can save a small life.

Besides, he was the crown prince of Austria-Hungary, and even if he failed this time, his prestige would certainly be damaged. However, his position is still very secure.

In the current Austro-Hungarian Empire, there is simply no one to replace him.

Although the previous Crown Prince Rudolf committed suicide, the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I, and no other sons?

Besides, Franz Joseph I was already too young to have the energy to train another heir.

Therefore, Archduke Ferdinand did not worry at all that he would be replaced because of this failure.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness!” Admiral Offenberg replied.

However, the 2nd Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army only wanted to retreat now, and it was too late.

The main forces of the 1st Army of the Imperial Russian Army are in frenzied pursuit of them.

After the order to retreat was given, the units of the 2nd Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army were even less courageous and mindful to fight, and were bent on escaping.

Many soldiers even threw away their weapons and equipment in order to escape faster.

But even so, under the frenzied pursuit of the Russian Imperial Army, a large number of Austro-Hungarian troops were still surrounded and then annihilated.

What is called the defeat of the army, the current situation of the 2nd Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army, this is it.

The entire 2nd Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army, with more than 200,000 troops remaining. If they hold the defensive line and resist the attack of the Russian Imperial Army, they may be defeated. However, it will not be so badly defeated. At least it can inflict considerable losses on the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia.

But now the entire 2nd Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army was in rout.

So much so that the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia was able to win this battle cleanly at a very small cost.
