What are the stories of ice cream?

1965438+On June 28th, 2004, the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary was assassinated and the First World War broke out. After Germany declared war on Russia and France, Russia also declared war on Germany. Taking advantage of the main German invasion of France to implement the "Schrieffen Plan", the domestic forces were empty, and the Russian army concentrated 650,000 troops, divided into two army groups, North and South, and broke into East Prussia, with the spearhead reaching Berlin. Russia's rapid mobilization completely broke the established policy of "destroying the law first, then fighting Russia" of the German high command. At this time, the German Eighth Army deployed in East Prussia is fighting against the Russian army, which has an army of 200,000. However, its commander-in-chief, Prithvis, was an incompetent courtier. At first, he relied on sweet words to please the Kaiser and knew nothing about military affairs. He panicked under the Russian offensive and took the initiative to retreat, losing his early victory over the Russian army.

At this important juncture, which is related to the victory or defeat of the Battle of East Prussia, the commanders of both sides did one thing in unison-deducing war chess.

Lieutenant General Su Suo Love, commander of the Russian Second Army, is a pioneer in the interpretation of Russian war chess. Since the Russo-Japanese War, he began to analyze the battlefield situation with a set of rough war chess composed of wooden boards and small chips, and this time was no exception. Susarov's second army is the main force of the Russian army, with six armies, while the first army led by Kampf in the north has the strength of four armies. According to Susarov's plan, his second army should try its best to "squeeze" the positive Germans and force them to retreat to the northwest; At the same time, the first army cooperated to cut off the connection between fort collins and East Prussia, and at the same time, it carried out a pincer attack on the German Eighth Army from the north, and finally destroyed it in Heidelberg.

In order to prove the feasibility of this plan, Susarov made several strict deductions on chess. Most of the deduction results show that although the Russian army will pay heavy casualties, relying on the advantages of three times the number and flanking, it can surround and destroy the German Eighth Army, or pay less losses and force it to retreat in the direction of Berlin. At this time, the German General Staff is implementing the "Schrieffen Plan", and the German main force is all in France, so it is impossible to return. So no matter what the result is, the fate of the whole East Prussia will be in the hands of the Russians, and the situation will become great for Russia.

The German side also carried out the same war chess deduction. Unfortunately, their conclusion coincides with suslov's inference: German Eighth Army will either be wiped out or retreat to Berlin, and East Prussia will no longer be under German control. However, a combat consultant named Max von Hoffman put forward an incredible suggestion: concentrate all forces against the Russian Second Army in the deduction, and do not need to take any military action against the First Army. Hoffman's proposal is definitely not out of whimsy. As early as the Russo-Japanese War, he served as a military observer in the Far East. Once at Shenyang Railway Station (Yes, Shenyang! ), he happened to witness a fight: two Russian officers, Su Suo Love and Niannian Kampf, threw fists at each other because of personal enmity-finally, Susarov knocked Niannian Kampf to the ground. Unexpectedly, ten years later, the two enemies were the commander-in-chief of the first army and the commander of the second army! So Hoffman was very sure that when Susarov's second army was attacked, Kampf's first army would stay put for several years.

After adopting Hoffman's suggestion, a qualification was added to the new deduction of war chess: "The first Russian army will not help the second army", and the conclusion reached as a result became quite different. The staff members swept away their previous depression and began to become interested. After repeated deduction, they finally came to the conclusion that if the Russian Second Army was lured to go deep alone, and then the pincer encirclement was completely eliminated, the whole war situation in East Prussia would be completely different.

At the beginning of the battle, both sides faithfully carried out their own plans: Su Suo Love made a "squeezing" attack on the frontal German army regardless of morale, supplies and the physical limit of soldiers; The Eighth German Army ordered the troops at the front of the attack to retreat continuously, and at the same time secretly transferred the troops confronting the First Army back to bypass the flank of the Second Russian Army. Only three days later, the Russian Second Army was already in the predicament of being surrounded. Su Suo Love neglected a small personal factor in the deduction of war chess, and finally brought himself and the whole army into the abyss of destruction. It is strikingly similar to the deduction process of the German staff. From the attack on Su Suo Love on 25th to the daring Russian general who committed suicide with a gun on 28th, CommScope First Army remained motionless for many years!

This is the Battle of Tannenburg, which decided the fate of East Prussia in history. In this battle, the Russian army lost more than 6.5438+0.2 million people, while the German army only lost 1 10,000 people. After that, the Russian army was defeated all the way, and the situation in East Prussia was as stable as a rock. Without Hoffman's suggestion, the German army would face two Russian army groups at the same time according to the tactics of double-line defense, and the result would not be so wonderful.

The result of the Battle of Tannenburg also had a far-reaching impact on the military chess career of Germany and Russia. Since the death of Su Suo Love, Russia's strict war chess has never been mentioned. Until now, Russia has not resumed strict war chess deduction. The victorious Germans began to pay special attention to the use of strict military chess, Hoffman was promoted to major general, and the use of strict military chess by the General Staff began to evolve from simply making operational plans to simulating the situation of the theater, even the situation of a specific battle. Yan Zhanqi began a great transformation from assisting war to directing war.
