After the Russian Cossack cavalry penetrated deep into the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they destroyed traffic and logistics. The attack teams of the Austrian army swept and looted, and plundered the Austrian army, which made the morale of the Austrian army even worse.

Japan, the Austro-Hungarian team collapsed across the board, and the troops turned around and fled wildly. The new logistics base of Velskoka, after Limburg, was abandoned. The army retreated to Krakao, and the defeated troops of the Pumiger Fortress and the defeated Austro-Hungarian Empire were surrounded by Russian troops.

The retreat was catastrophic, the entire, organized troops were captured, and a large number of Slovak soldiers were thrown into the Russian army, and the greater losses were officers, which was irreparable to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, because unlike other single nation-states, the loyalty of its officers' regiments needed long-term training. Newly supplemented officers could not achieve in the short term.

However, the Russian army was unable to pursue it. Because the Russian logistics pressure could no longer bear such a long-distance attack by more than one million troops, coupled with the barrier of the Galician mountains, we have to thank the fragile transportation power of the Russian railway, which allowed the Austro-Hungarian Empire to escape from danger again and breathe.

In this battle, the Austro-Hungarian team was captured, with 10,000 casualties and 10,000 casualties. The most elite old army was wiped out. Only the Royal Tyrol Hunter Group, which suffered heavy losses, escaped, and other elite mountain troops and mountain artillery units were all lost. Nearly half of the troops on the entire Galician front no longer existed. The Russian army went deep into Austro-Hungarian territory, threatened the Hungarian plains, and surrounded the Purmiger Fortress. The Drohobiz oil field fell into the hands of the Russian army. More than 10,000 people were killed and injured, and more than 20,000 were captured.

The victory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the battlefield of Serbia greatly boosted the allies' reputation and made the Allies depressed. However, the news of the defeat in the Battle of Limburg was born. The Austro-Hungarian Empire lost its offensive ability and could only passively defend against Russia. With every gain and loss, it was barely enough to not lose or make a profit.

The Pumiger Fortress, located in the southeast of Poland today, is located on the railway line between Lenberg and Krakao, and the Fusang River Valley. It has a very important strategic position and is the hub of the Austro-Hungarian Gallician defense system.

Since the beginning of the Inkstan Year, the Austro-Hungarian Empire used modern fortification technology to invest huge sums of money to build modern fortresses as a position for future wars against Russia and a front-line defense barrier. Later facts have proved that it was this solid fortress that delayed the Russian offensive wave after the Limburg Battle and formed great support for the defense of the Korba Xian Pass.

In the summer of the past year, the Austro-Hungarian Fortress deployed two fortress artillery regiments, which together had two fortress artillery regiments, including "Minjin mm caliber heavy mortars and Congmen old O mm caliber heavy howitzers. The fortress has a total of turrets, core position turrets, plum blossom-shaped arrangement, and turrets in the northeast direction of the periphery. They are arranged in an arrow-shaped manner, and there are two southwestern forts. They are arranged in a zigzag shape, and each fort has several lifting armored turrets. Outside the core position, there is a 3-meter-high steel and concrete wall, which is thick and a half meters deep, and the wall foundation is 4 meters underground. The top of the wall is bent inward to form a Fengdu angle. One meter inside the wall is built into a platform. The soldiers who are defending can lie on the platform and shoot outwards. The shooting ports are densely distributed on the wall. The infantry battalion of the fortress artillery regiment serving as the garrison does not have rifle soldiers. They are all heavy machine gun squads with mouths and light machine gun squads with three people.

The outer periphery of the core fortification was dug into a 2-and-a-half-meter-deep trench, reaching 3 meters wide. The outer northeast-facing turret was the core, with field fortifications as the auxiliary. An extremely strict defense system was formed. Each fortress was connected by traffic trenches. The field support points were the following, covered with thick logs and corrugated steel plates. They were basically unable to be destroyed without being hit directly by large caliber artillery. Each support point was equipped with a heavy machine gun and several light machine guns.

On the lunar month and on the verge, after the defeat of the Limburg Battle of Austro-Hungary, some of the remaining soldiers retreated into the Fortress Purmiger, and brought a large number of field artillery to the fortress. These field artillery were allocated to various support points, causing great damage to the Russian army's subsequent attacks. Austro-Hungary built huge fortifications underground, including barracks and warehouses, and stored a large amount of materials to be used in the war against Russia.

The Austro-Hungarian General Staff Headquarters ignored the gap in strength and focused on attacking. After Lunberg's defeat, he originally planned to retreat the remaining troops in the fortress to the hinterland of Hungary to reorganize it to launch another counterattack. However, Germany was worried that after the Russian army occupied the Fortress, it turned to the northwest and attacked Silesia, one of the German industrial centers. So it suppressed Austro-Hungarian and did not give up the fortress through diplomatic means. Austro-Hungarian stopped retreating, leaving about 10,000 troops to defend the Fortress and withdrew more than 10,000 people. Most of the troops left by the Austro-Hungarian army were Hungarian troops. Later, the core of the fortress defense was Magyar troops, Croatian troops and gendarmerie troops. Other Slovenians, Ukrainians, Poles, etc. who belong to the Hungarian troops passively avoided the war.

The defeat of the Austro-Hungarian Empire made the Chinese government feel huge concerns. If the Russian army crossed the Galician Mountains again, it would definitely threaten the Baghdad Railway. In order to ensure the safety of the Baghdad Railway, after the news from the Beijing Cabinet General Staff, the Cyprus base immediately ordered the Cyprus base to urgently provide weapons support to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Considering that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was in a defensive position for a short period of time, the Cyprus base decided to provide the 6th Army of the Emperor Qin Royal...the Qing-style woodpecker heavy machine gun, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire fortress defended the Pumiger Fortress.

On the junction, twenty Galaxy transport aircraft will be transported... Which type of woodpecker heavy machine gun, together with five million bullets, arrived in Budapest. After a day of testing, the tester of Austro-Hungarian ** side was very satisfied. The next day, he was transported to the Pumiger Fortress by railway. The commander of Austro-Hungarian Fortress

After that, I was very impressed. The heavy machine gun was equipped with the Muscle Tower defenders and used it with the Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun.

Then the next day, the entire fortress conducted a joint exercise. During the exercise, the Chinese Woodpecker heavy machine gun made a big splash. When shooting, the barrage formed by the machine gun bullets almost turned the periphery of the core fortification into a hell on earth. The high maneuverability made this heavy machine gun have a powerful firepower output, but it was not as bulky as the Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun. It can transfer positions at any time and support weak links, making Austro-Hungarian soldiers unable to let go of their hands and morale rebounded.

This batch of heavy machine guns was used by the Emperor Qin government to test the guns for the Austro-Hungarian team. If the effect is not good, it will cost money.

However, since the General Staff of the Austro-Hungarian Empire experienced the huge war weapons of fighter jets and infantry armored vehicles provided by China to the Balkan Army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had begun to prefer Chinese equipment. After testing the performance of the footed woodpecker heavy machine gun, the military had developed a strong interest in Chinese weapons.

Since the Austro-Hungarian country is next to the Mediterranean Sea, it can obtain direct sea supplies from Cyprusky. The Baghdad Railway is currently under repair, and it is still difficult for Germany to obtain China's strategic materials. Therefore, the Emperor and Qin government decided to use the Austro-Hungarian Empire to test some of China's weapons.

Therefore, at the request of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Chinese government exported 500,000 automatic rifles to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a heavy machine gun, a 2-field gate-blocking millimeter car-torn field gun, a small door... a slight millimeter mortar, a thousand grenades, military Hummer vehicles, armored vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, black hawks, and a combination of Austro-Hungarian Empire's army group, which led to the emergence of the first semi-mechanized army group in Europe in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

After understanding the combat performance of these equipment, the Austro-Hungarian Empire could not help but drool at these equipment. According to the estimates of the General Staff of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, once the Austro-Hungarian Empire Army group completes the equipment and training of these advanced Chinese weapons, the Russian army is no match for the Austro-Hungarian army at all, and the battlefield situation will be reversed.

With such a huge temptation, the Austro-Hungarian Empire royal family and the General Staff immediately agreed to the procurement plan, borrowing 100 million yuan from the Imperial Bank of China to repay China's debts with the gold reserves of the Austro-Hungarian Empire as collateral. The Imperial and Qin government promised to transport all the materials to Budapest within three months to equip the Austro-Hungarian Empire Army Group. The Austro-Hungarian Empire team will master the use of Chinese weapons under the guidance of Chinese instructors after three months of training.

In this way, with the amount of the Austro-Hungarian Empire borrowed from China to purchase various strategic materials, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had borrowed 100 million dragon coins from China within two months of the early days of the war, far exceeding the German mutual 100 million mark. At this point, China has become the largest creditor country of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Because of the loan, the Austro-Hungarian Empire could only purchase China's arms and strategic materials. At the same time, the treasury gold reserves began to transfer to China, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire's economy was gradually controlled by China's dragon coins.

However, controlling the economy of such a second-rate European power is not challenging. The countries that China wants to control the most are unparalleled in Britain, France, Germany and Russia. They have to wait until they are all dragged down by the war before they can be introduced."

On the day of the month, the Russian army completely encircled the Fortress of Pumiger. The Austro-Hungarian General Staff appointed General Hermann and Kusmanek: Knight Bugnoistet as the fortress defense commander and unified the fortress defense. The Russian army was responsible for the attack mission, with General Dimitriev's 3rd Army, and the entire army spared 10,000 people.

The Russian army won a great victory in the Limburg Battle and was in high spirits. Dimitriev ignored his weakness of lacking heavy weapons for siege and was determined to attack immediately.

At noon on the day, after sparse artillery preparations, as the three red signal flares took off, a large number of Russian troops shouted "Ula" and rushed to Fort No. 8 at the fortress at the fortress in the front of Pumiger. The Russian army's artillery preparations had no effect. Whether it was the Austro-Hungarian team in the underground camp within the core fortress or the Austro-Hungarian army in the field fortifications, the lethality was basically negligible.

The fortress artillery fire began to bombard the fortress, and the German-made millimeter heavy mortars roared and smashed the three hundred kilograms of shells into the Russian crowd. Each shell fell, accompanied by a loud bang, like a bolt from the blue, and exploded violently. A huge circular hole with a diameter of ten meters, instantly killed the Russian soldiers around them, flying flesh and blood, which was terrible. The strong shock wave flew the whole person to a height of more than ten meters and performing free fall movements. In an instant, the lives of dozens or hundreds of people immediately ended. The horizontal shock wave was outside the range of killing, and the huge air wave still blew the Russian soldiers farther away around to the ground. The range of action produced by each shell was expanded to a range of fifty meters in diameter. However, in the face of the Russian army's overwhelming charge, such a huge hollow was filled by the crowd behind.

The large number of field artillery brought into the fortress by the Austro-Hungarian defeated army played an extremely important role. Large-caliber cannons were used to shoot flat, and each shell fired a flesh-and-blood alley in the Russian army. Large-caliber howitzers formed a fire net-type coverage.

The mortars obtained by the Austro-Hungarian Empire from China played a huge role, with a bent trajectory, which could attack the Russian army at close range, fill the defense blind spots of fortress cannons, and bring huge lethality to the Russian army.

Since he could only attack along the Sanghe Valley, the front of the attack was extremely narrow and the troops were dense. He slandered the ginseng during the bombardment.

On the evening of the day, the Russian army stopped attacking and retreated from the position, but did not advance an inch, but paid a huge price for the heart.

In the early morning of the 10th day, the Russian army replaced the vanguard troops and transferred new troops to the ground, determined to use the fatigue period between night and dawn to directly attack the core positions of the fortress.

At 3 a.m., the Russian army did not prepare for artillery fire at all and began to attack. The Russian troops did not know that the Austro-Hungarian Empire had laid minefields near the core fortress and stepped on landmines. The Austro-Hungarian army immediately entered a state of combat.

Regardless of casualties, the Russian army took advantage of the opportunity of Austro-Hungarian artillery threatening in the darkness to insert from the gap between the plated turrets in the northeast of the fortress and headed towards the core position.

The first batch of military troops stumbled into the trench in the darkness. The Russian troops behind them were unknown and continued to rush forward until they filled the trench with their bodies. The Russian troops stepped on the bodies of dead or half-dead comrades and rushed towards the outer wall of the fortress.

The Russian army was a commando, without preparing ladders or blasting cylinders. They only had rifles, bayonets, grenades, teeth, and nails. There was nothing we could do with this wall. A few Russian troops who were carrying small-caliber mortars tried to bombard the fortress walls, but in despair, mortar shells hit the wall and only made a white mark.

At this time, the searchlight on the top of the wall suddenly opened, and all the firing ports fired at the same time, and the machine guns spit out flames. The god of death was reaping life like a scythe. Russian soldiers came down like a wheat pole swept by the harvester knife wheel. Under the dense machine gun bullets, the Russian commando was killed and injured. The firepower of the northeastern turret also returned and fired at the poor Russian troops sandwiched between the northeastern turret and the core fortifications. According to the long-estimated shooting of the fortress cannons, the fortress cannons covered the area over and over again.

At dawn, the moans and screams of the Russian army all over the mountains had passed the sound of the gunfire machine gun, and then the sound slowly became silent.

The number of casualties of the Russian army's sneak attack in 10,000 days was not announced. The Austro-Hungarian Empire claimed that it had eliminated 50,000 Russian troops. The Russian army did not recognize this. However, the Russian army admitted that it had extremely heavy casualties. Many teams with great historical honors suffered heavy losses, and some regiments only had men left!

On the morning of the 1000th, the Russian army launched a large-scale attack. Apart from the unnecessary huge casualties, the Russian army gained nothing and made outstanding achievements in history. However, at present, the Tsarist Russian guards, Semenov, composed of children from the upper class of St. Petersburg, who were deeply favored by the emperor, was declared collapsed after being covered by artillery fire during the attack. These gorgeously dressed soldiers abandoned their rifles, rushed back, and refused to fight again.

And those teams of honest and obedient Russian peasants, these soldiers who had never received any benefits from the Tsar since they were born, fought silently and sacrificed, and suffered unimaginable huge casualties in the name of God and the Tsar. Their lives were like dead leaves in a storm composed of bullets and shells, falling in pieces.

The Russian army mobilized a hundred thousand troops. Using the medieval siege tactics, one round of siege, another round of charge stepping on the bodies of companions, and then charging forward one after another. The Russian army staggered forward in the rain of bullets, and its tenacity was shocking.

At this time, the heavy machine guns of Fort No. 7 and Fort No. 8 of Pumiger Fortress were overheated and unable to fire, and even the cooling water was not enough. The Austro-Hungarian army hurriedly transferred the Chinese Pang Woodpecker heavy machine gun from the nearby fortress to replenish firepower. At this time, the huge advantage was highlighted. The Woodpecker heavy machine gun was easy to transfer, and its shooting accuracy and range were much stronger than the Maxim heavy machine gun. None of the Russian troops within 2,000 meters were spared and became the veritable meat grinder of Pumiger Fortress.

A large number of Chinese heavy machine guns were transferred to the fortress, and the crisp sound of woodpeckers hitting trees almost became a nightmare for the Russian army. This unique sound was later called the summoning of the god of death by the Russian army. Since then, whenever the Russian army saw the woodpecker, they immediately lie down like a frightened bird.

On the day of the day, the Russian army bets and dispatched groups, divided into 6 waves, and attacked like waves, and repeated over and over again. The broken troops were withdrawn and reorganized, and they were put into attack again. The waves of the Russian army's impact came in waves like an angry tide. Then, another wave of waves shattered in front of the Austro-Hungarian firepower.

On the evening of the day, the Russian army finally stopped the attack. Because even Russia could not bear such serious casualties, General Dimitriev finally collapsed. His army lost a total of ten thousand people in three days. Almost everyone left, and the entire army basically lost its combat effectiveness.

The first three days of the offensive and defensive battle of the Pumiger Fortress were called: "Pumiger Meat Grinder". The Russian army paid more than 10,000 lives but gained nothing. As it turned out, in the face of the strong fortress defended by modern weapons, the attempt to take down the fortress by relying solely on charge tactics was just a crazy fantasy.

The Russian 3rd Army suffered heavy losses and morale fell below freezing point. The Russian army's joy of victory from the Limburg Battle was completely wiped out. On the contrary, the Austro-Hungarian team's upward energy rebounded, and a comprehensive confrontation between Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was formed.
