Chapter 30 Blitz

 At the end of the year, the war suddenly broke out.

Surprisingly, it was not the Russians who started the battle first, but Prussia!

The Silesian Legion of Prussia, the Poznan Legion invaded South Poland!

Although it was a bit unexpected, Qitade still expected this situation.

This winter, he had been staying in Kiev, and after learning about this, he quickly called everyone to hold a meeting.

Previously, he did not send Chu Feng, who was still in Portugal, to lead the north to the Baltic Sea, but an army from India was still there.

"No need to think about it"

Qitade did not seek other people's opinions this time.

"The Russians will never stand by. If I guess correctly, the Prussians and the Russians have communicated well. The Prussians first attacked Poland by the Prussian army. Poland is a firm ally of our country and our country has to save it."

"In addition, today, if the cold land is frozen and covered with heavy snow, there is almost no place for the cavalry that the Poles are proud of. This is also a factor."

"Once our country sends troops, we can only dispatch the Lviv Legion nearby. Therefore, the Russian army hidden in Belarus and the southern Russian plains will definitely dispatch at the same time"

"In this way, Kreit's reserve army immediately headed north and allowed it to arrive in Saratov by train. The new army in our country was selected from foreign militias. Before that, our country had set up three militia divisions on the front line of Kursk-Voronesh"

"In addition to the regular army drawn from other places, in the above three provinces, Kursk has one army, Voronesh has two armies, Saratov has one division and one army, relying on a solid line of defense, it is enough to resist the influx of Russian serf soldiers"

"Voronezh can also dispatch an army to counterattack at any time"

"There are three armies in Kiev, and one army will be dispatched to Lviv to replace Lviv's defense"

"Techina immediately led two armies northward into Poland..."

"Your Majesty means..."

"There are too many Russians and need to be careful to deal with them, while the Prussians are fewer. If we can concentrate our forces to defeat the Prussians first, we can focus all our energy on dealing with the Russians"

"In addition, it is estimated that the Austrians should act, and they will not go deep into our country, but will go south to attack Romania!"

"The Chufeng Fleet and the Indian Legion?"

"Forget it, it's really a bit of a risk to penetrate into the Baltic Sea in winter. Let them go out immediately and drive to their homeland, and then stop at the port of Constanta in Romania, put down the Indian army, and according to the voyage, they should arrive within ten days."

"The Romanians can't hold on for even ten days, let alone the Austrians have to cross the Carpathian Mountains. Although the snow there is less, it will take at least five days to reach Romania"

"Okay, I'll be in Kiev, Chu Hur immediately went to Voronesh to command the war on the Northern Front"

....

Five days later, Techina arrived in Krakow with two armies.

"General"

The adjutant sent by Kazimiri here is reporting to him.

"His Majesty the King is in Rhodes with an army to resist the Prussian Northern Polish army, and His Highness is in Czestochova to resist their Silesian army"

Techina is the commander of the Second Army, the commander of the New Second Army is Asar, the cousin of Qitad, and the chief of staff of the two armies is Baxiaode, the eldest son of Bayar, who is only thirty years old this year.

"His Majesty the King said that Krakow only has one division of militia. If Prussia and Austria have troops coming in from Katowitz and Ostrava, our army is completely unstoppable. Krakow has stored a large amount of food, and your army can use it at will. Krakow will be handed over to your army"

Techi nodded, he asked the man to go out first, and he discussed with Asar and Baxiaode, and there were also intelligence officers of the Lviv Legion.

"Katowitz, is there any movement in the direction of Ostrava?"

The intelligence officer replied: "There are spies from our country in both places. If there are, they will definitely send us a telegram as soon as possible."

Tech nodded, "It's the best opportunity for the Austrians. I guess the Prussians in Katowitz must have taken the defensive. Their main forces have all gone to Rodz and Czestochova. Well, I understand."

Baxiaode said: "Uncle, do you mean this? For Poland's land, Russia and Pakatan Harapan do not want Austrians to be involved, and Austrians are not willing to fight us near our country. They just want to take the opportunity to take Romania and Bulgaria into their pockets?"

Techina nodded first, then shook her head, "It's strange that no matter which country it is, one country or both countries should know that it is not our opponents. Only the three countries can work closely together. Whether it is from Ostra or from Kosice, the Austrians can achieve unexpected results."

"Did they not discuss before launching the war? Forget about Russia and Austria, but Frederick from Prussia is a famous general"

Ba Xiaode said: "Howitzers in European countries are becoming more and more mature now. Although they still use flintlock rifles in large quantities, the Minnie rifles have been used in a small number. With their numerical advantage, I believe that it is enough for Russia and Pradesh to contain our northwest border"

"What's more, they don't know that our country has a legion from India in Portugal, and believe that once the Austrian army invades Romania, our Chernovts army will definitely go south."

"No", Techina shook her head, "The Russians will definitely attack on the whole line. Needless to say, their financial pressure is too great, and the Austrians are the most unpredictable. However, unless the Prussians do not join the war, they will definitely do their best once they join"

"Frederick is sixty-nine years old this year. This is probably his last battle. He must not let a failed Prussia be inherited by his nephew. He blitzed Poland and must have made a perfect plan"

"That's..."

"On the surface, there are only the Northern Polish Legion and the Silesian Legion, but will the Saxon Legion and the East Prussian Legion next to Silesia be viewed on the wall?"

"What's more, the Silesian Legion has been dispatched, and the whole Silesia is empty. After we arrive, if Kazimiri can still hold on, then our attack on Silesia will become an option"

"Once we enter Silesia, I guess its Silesian army will advance westward, and the Saxony army will advance eastward to attack our army. As for Rhodes, the East Prussian army will be replaced, and it may even be possible for the Russians to replace it"

"Czestochova is replaced by the Northern Polish Legion"

"If the Russians intervene at this time, it means that the Poles' territory will be divided for a second time. If the Russians do not intervene, then South Poland under Kazimiz's control will become the territory of the Prussians"

"However, the premise of all this is that the Russian army in the east can defeat us. For the Russians, there is nothing more unacceptable than losing Kursk, Voronesh, Saratov and Eastern Ukraine. Their only goal is obviously to regain the above-mentioned territory"

"You mean that if the Prussians don't go out, they will do their best as soon as they go out?"

"Yes, I guess they are not only ready for the Saxon Army, but also the Berlin Army"

"Then us?"

Techina did not answer immediately, but looked at Asar.

"Asar, although you are leading the New Second Army, they are all mixed-in, and there are 30% of the regular army in it. Besides, they are all excellent militia drawn from various places and have been training together for at least three months. I will give you a task now. I don't know if you dare to complete it."

Nowadays, a Truchen division has added special supplies, artillery, engineers and direct brigades, and the total number of people is no longer nine thousand, but about 12,000.

The three divisions were nearly 40,000, not to mention that the combat power of Truqin and other people had long made officers at all levels of the empire a little arrogant. Asar was no exception. He smiled and said, "Don't talk about an army, even if there is only one division, I dare!"

"That's good!"

Techina stood up, "You lead the new second army into Katowitz immediately. With Frederick's ability, there is at least one division's troops there. Don't be busy siege after you go there, but encircle it."

"The Saxony Legion and the Berlin Legion will come here regardless of the news. You just need to stand for a month"

Assal nodded, "Katowitz is next to Krakow, not to mention a month, it's..."

Techina shook her head, "It's not that simple. Once you leave Krakow, the Prussians are very likely to go around you and take down the city of Krakow, and even the Austrian Mibohemia Legion in Ostrava may arrive here. When your food route is intercepted, what should I do?"

Asar nodded, "In this section, my nephew has considered that our army has a direct brigade, so he asked the brigade to assist the Polish militia in the city to defend the city and protect the food road at the same time."

Thechina said: "Now there is only one road leading to Silesia. But you have to pass through Auschwitzburg on the Vistula River. Just send a delegation to guard the fort. Although Katowitz, Krakow and Ostrava are mostly plains around the three places, there is only this road.

"One regiment defends Auschwitz, one regiment sets up positions in important places where the Austrians may come, and the remaining regiment will assist the Polish militia in defending the city"

Assal was nervous and quickly stood attentively to salute.

“Yes!”

After ordering Asar, Techina set out with the Second Army. Now there was only a thin layer of snow on the ground in southern Poland, but the ground was frozen hard, which did not affect walking. He arrived in Czestochova in a few days!

Just arrived at the periphery of Czestochova, Techna was stunned by the situation here.

Standing near a high ground, I saw that the outer periphery of Czestochova had been dug by the Prussians and surrounded by three huge trenches. Each of the three trenches had a width of more than three meters, and there was a position behind each trench.

The innermost trench is more than two miles away from the castle, and the Poles obviously did not defend the castle, but set up large blocking positions at four corners of the castle.

There are two phenomena that make Tie Chi a little worried.

"Czestochova is shattered and obviously has been attacked by the Prussian artillery fire. It was not caused by solid bullets. In addition, the trenches, which means that the Prussians can accurately hit the castle with artillery three or four miles away!"
