6 th rifle in Lutsk breakthrough

The 6 Rifle Regiment of the 2 Rifle Division is one of the best rifle regiments of the Russian Imperial Army. Part of the glory of the glory was the participation in Lutsk 1916 breakthrough.

Let's look at the picture of the regiment's participation in this historic offensive, based on the combat documents of the unit.

On May 22, in 4 hours, artillery, bombers and mortars opened heavy fire - it lasted most intensively until 10 hours. The fire was also fired on the whole day of 22 on May and on the night of 23 on May.

With well-aimed Russian artillery fire, by 16, the 22 watch in May destroyed a wire fence in front of the first line of enemy trenches. The enemy moved to the second line of his trenches, leaving in the first line of small groups of soldiers with machine guns.

At about 16 hours, the commander of 16, a company of warrant officer Ensign Lubenets, conducted reconnaissance of enemy positions - penetrating the first line of enemy trenches from the 8 fighters of his company, several rifles, grenades, rockets and a box of ammunition . Intelligence was established: the first line of enemy trenches was left, only small groups of enemy soldiers with machine guns remained in the first line, the character of fortification positions was revealed, three messages were found (including one covered one) connecting two lines of enemy trenches. The fact of the destruction of the first line obstacles and part of the enemy’s trenches was also established.

Throughout the night, artillery and artillery fire prevented the enemy from restoring destroyed artificial obstacles (only in some areas he managed to throw out the slingshots - but in the morning of May 23 they were pulled down by artillery).

On the morning of May 23, artillery, bombers and mortars again opened heavy fire at the first lines of the trenches and enemy barriers, which lasted until 9 in the morning - an hour of infantry attack.

Exactly in 9 hours, the first line (wave) of Russian shooters jumped out of the trenches, and after it, a minute later, the second. Their seats were immediately taken by the 3 and 4 waves. The latter were ordered to support the first - depending on the situation.

Simultaneously with the appearance of Russian fighters on the parapet, the gunners moved their fire to the third and fourth lines of the Austrian trenches. The first and second rifle waves swiftly attacked and captured the first line of enemy trenches. The 4 battalion companies, without stopping on the first, second, third and fourth lines of the trenches, immediately took up a position ahead of the fourth line of the enemy - moving swiftly and sweeping away everything in their path.

Having passed through the positions of the enemy battery, the companies of the 4 battalion found that the companies of the 5 rifle regiment that were next to them stopped on the first and second lines of the enemy's trenches - and the right flank was bare. The enemy launched a fierce attack — with the goal of cutting off the 4 battalion, which had advanced too far ahead, and to help out its battery. And the battalion had to stand 5 counterattack of the enemy. At the same time, the companies of the 5 Infantry Regiment, taking advantage of advancing the 4 Battalion of the 6 Infantry Regiment, also advanced and occupied the fourth line of enemy trenches.

At 16 hours, the 1 Battalion received an order to support the attack of the 4 Division by attacking the enemy’s left flank. Fulfilling this order, the 3 Company and the Half Company 1 Company attacked the enemy in the rear and captured the 15 officers, the 400 of the lower ranks and the 1 machine gun. After this attack, the enemy, who was keeping himself in the forward trenches, despite the breakthrough of the 6 Infantry Regiment, rushed back and, pursued by the 4 Division and the shooters, began a disorderly retreat. The Austrians began to surrender in masses.

The other half-company of the 1-th company, acting to the left of the 3-th and 4-th battalions, together with the companies of these battalions, rejected the enemy, covering the artillery battery. And the enemy battery (it was written about it above) was re-captured by half-men of the 1-th company, 10-th and 16-th companies. Having occupied the height southeast of Pokashevskaya grove, the regiment began to dig in — it was necessary to secure the occupied space behind it.

In the battle 23 th May at the places. Olyki 6 Rifle Regiment captured 6 guns, 6 machine guns, 2 mortar, 2 bomb bomb and many prisoners - 33 officer and 1473 lower ranks, as well as projectiles, engineering property, etc.

The next day, the regiment pursued the enemy, moving west - through the village. Pokashevo, Khorlupy and Romanovo. Reaching der. Kopche, the arrows stopped for the night, setting up the 3 battalion and the reconnaissance team on the der. Poddubtse.

Having received the order to pursue the enemy in the north-west direction, following through dd. Poddubtsy, Vorokhov, colony of the Bush, on the 25 of May at dawn the regiment continued the offensive.

At 6 in the morning hours, the 1 th battalion, marching in the vanguard, cramping enemy cavalry and guards, met with resistance from the enemy on the der line. Borukhovo, Cherry. The enemy took a position and dug in.

Having advanced under a hurricane rifle, machine-gun and artillery fire to a distance of 200 - 300 steps and having advanced a company of 2 battalion and a reconnaissance squad to extend the left flank of the enemy, the 1 battalion went on the attack. The enemy tried to stop the attackers with fierce fire - but an energetic attack of the seven companies and scout teams put him to flight. The company, which advanced to attack the left flank, attacked the enemy from the rear - this finally broke his tenacity, and he almost entirely in the 6 section, then the rifle regiment surrendered. In total, 16 officers and 953 lower ranks were captured in this battle, one machine gun was captured, a lot of telephone equipment, weapons and cartridges. The battlefield was littered with dead and wounded Austrians. In pursuit of the remnants of the broken enemy and passing der. Borukhovo, the regiment stopped and put itself in order, and then continued to move in a westerly direction - to the colony Gushcha.


Colonel Ivanov Ivan Vasilyevich. Commander of the 6 Rifle Regiment, holder of the Orders of St. George of the 4 degree, St. Vladimir of the 3 degree with swords and St. George weapons.

Under the strong rifle and artillery fire of the enemy, the regiment's chains, supported by the 2 battery of the 6 rifle artillery division, crawled to the enemy fortified positions to the distance of 300 steps, and rushed into the attack, picked up by other parts and reserves. After a few minutes, the companies of the 1 Battalion broke through the wire fence and, knocking over the defenders of the fortifications, captured the latter. Following the battalion that broke through 1, the rest of the battalions of the regiment rushed. The 1 and 2 battalions captured 4 officers, 423 lower ranks and 1 machine guns.

After this breakthrough, the Austrians in the whole area have a stake. Teremno backed away - to Lutsk. Two artillery harnesses rushed along the Lutsky Highway, but without guns abandoned by the enemy. The 1 and 2 battalions pursuing him opened fire with machine guns and fired at them, which further exacerbated the panic.

The 3 and 4 battalions, having crossed 5 25 hours on May on the left bank of the r. Styr, began to push the enemy from the city of Lutsk in the north-west direction. The Austrians tried to stay in the city - to destroy their warehouses.

The commander of a left-flank 10 company, warrant officer Kalashnikov, noticing in the outskirts of Lutsk with. The Red, burning, large quartermaster warehouse, on its own initiative, rushed along with the company in a village. Red and interrupted both the arsonists and the Austrians who were guarding the warehouse. Having taken possession of the warehouse, the 10-i company and several scouts of the 4-nd division began to extinguish the fire, and then, leaving the man with the ensign at the 30 guard, the company continued to follow the battalion.

At 7, in the morning, the 1 and 2 battalions crossed to the left bank of the morning. The crossing of the 8 and 7 rifle regiments was stopped by the enemy, entrenched in the trenches on the left bank of the river.

The 6 regiment in the morning 8 was ordered, acting on the enemy's flank, to facilitate the crossing of the 8 and 7 rifle regiments. To accomplish this task, the 6 th regiment was given two battalions: one from the 8 th, and one from the 7 th rifle regiment. The battalions, having crossed the bridge, moved forward, and under their onslaught the enemy began to retreat. Around 700, the man surrendered to the battalion of the 8 Infantry Regiment.

The 6 th infantry regiment was at the forefront of the Lutsk breakthrough - being the flagship of its combat sector. The losses and trophies of the regiment speak of the skillful action of the unit and the courage and heroism of the officers and shooters. During the period of the battles from 22 on May to 2 on June 1916, the losses were: 4 officer and 128 lower ranks killed, 15 officers and 1267 lower ranks. The trophies for the same period: 53 officer and 3024 captives in the ranks of the healthy and 3 officer and 214 in the lower ranks of the wounded, as well as 6 guns, 7 charging boxes, 8 machine guns, 2 bomb, 2 mortar, 1 flamethrowers, I went to the table, and I went to the table. , ammunition and engineering property.

Comments

[XII legion]

One of the officers of the 6th Infantry Regiment was Vladimir Ivanovich Nikolaev (1869-1937). Major General, Knight of Orders (only for World War II), St. George 4th degree, St. Vladimir 3rd degree with swords and St. George's weapons.

In 1914-15 was an officer of the 6th infantry. Twice wounded.
And in 1916, he already commanded another regiment.
Being a member of the Red Army since the spring of 1918 and a gold watch from the PBC of the USSR with the inscription "To the staunch defender of the proletarian revolution" did not help - he ended his life at the Butovo training ground in Moscow.
An interesting article about an important milestone in the military path of Russian imperial shooters.
Thank you!

[Lieutenant Teterin]

A wonderful and very informative article. Russian historiography writes more often about the Lutsk breakthrough than about other operations of the Second World War, but there are practically no studies about the details of the battles of that time, about the combat work of individual units and the exploits of officers and lower ranks. Alexey Vladimirovich, this article, like many others, written by you is not only interesting, but also joyfully read, seeing how the memory of the valiant deeds of the Russian army of those years and the exploits of its heroes comes back from nonexistence. I sincerely thank you for the work done!

[OAV09081974]

Thank you very much dear Poruchik Teterin!
Your appreciation is very pleasant. I always read your informative, competent and balanced comments with great pleasure.

[Olgovich]

Wonderful article. once again showing how wonderful our ancestors fought in World War II.

[OAV09081974]

Thank you dear Olgovich!
For a kind word, appreciation and constant positive

[parusnik]

Russia is holding on to the Ivanovs ...

[Square]

A feat in every nuance
Initiative of fighters and commanders
It was a great army

[Mamka pula]

From all the descendants of the heroes of the past
To the author - a low bow
The story comes to life ..

[Some kind of compote]

The regiment advancing in positional warfare, without the support of tanks and aircraft, inflicted twice as many losses to the enemy as it did itself.
The illustration of the fact that on the whole during the Brusilovsky breakthrough the attacking Russians suffered no more losses than the defending enemy.
Unique operation!
Fine

[Ostrovsky]

Thanks to the author for exploring the heroic era of our history.

[Head Physician]

A lover of colonels of the Russian army.
There is a whole selection, but they break off at the beginning of the 20th century. It is natural. At least some stories of regiments were added to the emigration.
But the Great War is overboard. Usually.
Therefore, the author does a great job filling this gap. Concrete space. After all, the era of the Great War (in terms of the efforts of the troops and episodes of courage and heroism of the personnel) cost the regiments of the Petrine army the entire 200-year-old era.
I join all of the above comrades

[Head Physician]

I wish the author to continue the study of the military way of the Russian (and not only) parts of the era of the Great War

[OAV09081974]

Accepted. There are plans. Thank you and all colleagues for rating, tips and additions.
Best regards

[kipage]

Well, they said in 16 the Russian army forgot how to fight!

[Serge72]

Fire fighting, bayonet attacks, swiftness and initiative are the visiting card of Russian infantrymen (shooters).
It’s a pity they didn’t bring to mind, they didn’t finish the adversary - after all, it was not long left.
The enemy could not incapacitate the Russian front with open power.
And then the Austro-Germans were forced to use a new weapon - ideological, worked "from the rear." Beheaded the empire.
But in 1918 they themselves received a "knife in the back." Do not do what you do not want to get yourself.
It is pleasant to recall the exploits of Russian weapons.
Great, thank you!

[barbiturate]

Eh, a great breakthrough came out against the Austrians, but the German divisions came up and that’s all ... The Stohod and the criminal extermination of the guard - the military basis of the throne. We fought well against the Austrians throughout the war, but the Germans were the main enemy, and nothing came of them, it was not the individual qualities of the soldier who decided (although the Germans were no worse in terms of the fighting qualities of our soldiers) but the general level of command and combat equipment technology, and here we were MUCH weaker than the Germans. Why did it happen, historians break their spears) Personally, I agree with Kersnovsky: “As a result, our platoons, which perfectly applied to the area, perfectly shot companies and showed private initiative, found themselves imprisoned in sluggish divisions, clumsy corps and loose armies”

[Blue cop]

Disagree

our platoons, perfectly applied to the area, perfectly shooting companies and showing private initiative, the battalions were imprisoned in languid divisions, clumsy corps and loose armies

It's about 14 years old
About 16 years old, Kersnovsky wrote that excellent corps and divisions were forged - having rich combat experience.

Eh, we got a great breakthrough against the Austrians, but only German divisions came up and that’s all

After all, they rushed to the front of the German Southern Army too
And it consisted almost entirely of Germans, and even what. One 1st division was worth it!
And the counterattacks of the Germans as they kept (https://topwar.ru/133599-razbivshayasya-stal.htm
l)

And in the summer of 1917, during the June offensive, they broke through on all fronts - on the North, West, Southwest and Romanian. The North and West are Germans, the South-West are also Germans in many ways. Romanian is everything.
It was a unique operation! The breakthrough was a success everywhere!
But it was no longer possible to develop it - because of the democratizing infantry.
E. Ludendorff wrote: "these were not the same old Russian soldiers." "The brain was obsessed with the ailment of revolution."
P. Hindenburg wrote: “Kerensky’s troops are not Brusilov’s troops. Therefore, the Russian offensive at Stanislavov, despite the good prospects not quite succeeds. "
That is, there was a rush, but the counterattacks were no longer held. Fortitude has disappeared.
General V.I. Gurko wrote: "Our attack could only end with the defeat of the few regiments that have still preserved their combat readiness, which will move forward, leaving behind the bulk of the army, unable to repel even the most timid enemy counterattacks."
Therefore, they hoped for the onset of 17 years (not without reason). If everything was as before.
But ... The blow came from the rear, as Serge 72 correctly noted.

About 16 years old, Kersnovsky wrote that excellent corps and divisions were forged - having rich combat experience.

Where and in what context does he mention this? Separate formations may have differed for the better, but after the losses of 1914 and 1915 the army was already almost all of the reservists.
“Before the war, the cadre of officers totaled 42 - 000 people. Together with reserve officers called up during the mobilization and made lieutenants in July-August, the number of officers reached 43. Losses in the years 000-80. amounted to 000 officers. " (Volkov S.V. Russian officer corps. - M., 1914.)

“Losses in manpower exceeded all pre-war calculations and expectations. No one could have imagined that human losses would be so great, and that two fifths of these losses would be prisoners. From the beginning of the war to November 1, 1915, the Russian armies lost 4 people, including 360 prisoners. Of these losses, 000 (1%) were lost during the Great Retreat from May 740 to November 000, 2 ...

The problem was the fact that during this period of time, the Russian army in force lost its entire personnel, including in the officer corps. In 1915, the last personnel were killed, which still remained in the army at the beginning of the campaign. 1 people the composition of the personnel army, which was before the war, melted before the start of the Great Retreat, in the operations of 423 and the winter campaign in the forests of East Prussia and on the mountain slopes of the Carpathians. Now, in the course of the 000 campaign, the country lost almost all of its trained supply, which was generally in the country before the war. Units of those who served in the military before the war remained in service: the army in the beginning of 1914 assumed the character of a militia army. ” (MV Oskin “Brusilovsky breakthrough”).

About the Austrians: Considering that the Russian armies after the Great Retreat of 1915 are not operational, and their own fortified bands are insurmountable, the Austrian command transferred its best units to Italy - the 3rd, 10th, 34th, 43rd, 59th, 13th infantry divisions. A significant part of the heavy artillery also went there.
“By the beginning of the offensive of the Southwestern Front in Italy, the Austrians held thirty-five divisions, and in Russia - thirty-nine.
Thus, in the East, the Austrians did not have a strategic reserve, and all the calculations of the Austrian commander in chief (nominal commander in chief - Archduke Friedrich) are gene. F. Konrad von Götzendorf were built on the invincibility of defense. " (MV Oskin “Brusilovsky breakthrough”)
All these mistakes and characteristic features of the Austro-Hungarian army, of course, contributed to the success of the Lutsk breakthrough of the Russian army.

Now about the Germans: I don’t know where you get the information about the allegedly broken-out front held by the German Southern Army ??? Open any source and you will be told the following:

"Then the Russian 8th, 11th, 7th and 9th armies (594 thousand men and 1938 guns) who went on the offensive broke through the well-fortified positional defense of the Austro-Hungarian front (486 thousand people and 1846 guns), under the command of Archduke Friedrich. The breakthrough was carried out immediately in 13 sections with subsequent development towards the flanks and in depth. "
Where is the southern army of the Germans ?? Why tell a fairy tale?))
But then historians tell the following about the actions of the Germans:
“... the saturation of the Austro-Hungarian defensive order with the German troops made it possible to bring down and then stop the Russian offensive rush. The first captured Germans were taken in the Lutsk direction on May 27. The formation of combined army and operational groups of generals Bernhardi, Linsingen and other German military commanders made it possible at the most critical moment to retain key areas that served as the backbone for the restoration of common Austro-German defense in the East. German units interspersed in Austrian corps and armies had a higher combat potential, more trained rank and file and command staff, and, most importantly, more powerful equipment. It was in battles with the Germans that Russian shock groups were disheveled, which allowed the command of the Central Powers to keep the collapsing Eastern Front from the already emerging collapse after the brilliant May victories of the Russian South-Western Front south of Polesie. "

About the breakthrough of 1917 and what happened there - just a separate conversation, although again you tell a fairy tale, about some general breakthroughs on all fronts))

[Blue cop]

Where and in what context does he mention this?

In addition to Kersnovsky, this was written in the brochure “The Russian Army at the Beginning of 1917”. Of the 135 named infantry divisions (including guard, rifle, etc.) of the Russian army for which information is available, they are described as “battle-tested”, “first-class”, “good”, “with high combat reputation”, and “best quality "- 74 divisions; as “outstanding units” —19 divisions; and as “assault” - 4 divisions. That is, almost 72% of the number of infantry divisions were flatteringly characterized by our enemy.

for this period of time, the Russian army in force has lost its entire personnel, including in the officer corps. In 1915, the last personnel were killed, which still remained in the army at the beginning of the campaign. 1 people the composition of the personnel army, which was before the war, melted before the start of the Great Retreat, in the operations of 423 and the winter campaign in the forests of East Prussia and on the mountain slopes of the Carpathians.

Units of those who served in the military before the war remained in service: the army in the beginning of 1914 assumed the character of a militia army. ”

Nevertheless, she acted perfectly in the 1916 campaign. Ensigns from the intelligentsia and the "police". In all countries, the personnel ran out of order - the Germans by 16, the Russians in 1915, the Austrians even earlier. And nothing - coped.

Where is the southern army of the Germans ?? Why tell a fairy tale?)

Look at the map and do not hang noodles))

On the composition of the German Southern Army - take a look at the Reichsarchive.
I don’t argue that German compounds were depreciated. But at what cost? Keegan writes about the Germans' loss of 350 thousand on the Russian front during this period.

About the breakthrough of 1917 and what happened there - just a separate conversation, although again you tell a fairy tale, about some general breakthroughs on all fronts))

Have you heard about the Tarnopol breakthrough? Russian troops broke into the operational space. Their counterblows later managed to be thrown back to their original position - why, he wrote above.
The offensive of the 10th army on the Western Front July 6-10 - managed to overcome the tactical defenses of the Germans and even capture part of the artillery. The result is the same.
Northern Front - The 5th Army carried out a tactical breakthrough of the enemy’s front, occupied the first line of its trenches and started a battle for the second. But the Russian units could not develop this success due to the lack of reserves necessary to build up the blow. There were reserves - they did not want to go into battle.
The greatest success was achieved on July 11-12 on the Romanian front. Read for example the work of Vinogradov.
Everything was, but the conversation is separate.

[Blue cop]

By the Summer Offensive of 1917
What is on all fronts:
1) June offensive of the South-Western Front (Tarnopol breakthrough) - 4 armies are involved (Special, 7th, 8th, 11th).
2) July operation of the Western Front - 10th Army;
3) The offensive of the 5th Army of the Northern Front;
4) The offensive of the Romanian front (2 armies - 1st Romanian and 6th Russian).
Those. In the Summer Offensive of 1917, 8 armies participated (of which 7 were Russian).
The result is a hacking of the tactical (and the SWF and the Romanian fronts are also access to the operational space) enemy defenses. Not developed due to the revolutionary degradation of the bulk of the infantry. Artillery training is at its best.

[Blue cop]

That is, 8 armies - this is the GENERAL breakthroughs on ALL fronts (except the Caucasus).
In addition to Oskin, read about Vetoshnikov, Kuznetsov, and Bazanov about the offensive of the South-West Fleet of 1916 (this is general, but much private). And also Lutsk breakthrough. Proceedings and materials. 1924

"... the Russians attacked the Austro-Hungarian front east of Lutsk, near Tarnopol and north of the Dniester. The attack was launched by the Russians without significant superiority of forces. In the area of ​​Tarnopol, General Count von Botmer, who joined the South German Army after General von Linzingen, ...

Hello, I wrote - tactical defense is over. It was not possible to develop - the infantry refused to continue the offensive.
And the South-Western and Romanian fronts entered the operational space and captured large trophies. And the Germans in the 1917 campaign suffered greater losses on the Russian front than the Austrians.

But did Brusilov break through the battle lines of the Germans?

The 7th Army of General D. G. Shcherbachev, on May 24, clashed with the main forces of the South German Army. The brilliant breakthrough of the 2nd Army Corps of General V.E.Flug of the Yazlovets’s positions (which were considered impregnable), the defeat of the Hoffmann Corps by the central corps of the 7th Army decided the outcome of the battle.
That is, the answer is yes.
We ask the author to dwell in more detail on the operations of the 7th and 11th armies of the SWF, since the confrontation with German troops is of particular interest.

Stohod separate conversation. Severe terrain and mistakes of command. We say because of the Rzhevskaya massacre that in the Second World War were weaker than the Germans?
So we were not MUCH weaker than the Germans. ALL opponents were inferior to them - but by interest, and not at times. Therefore, they fought together.
But they learned to beat them too.

Although about what - if

Open any source and you will be told the following:

you confuse literature (Oskin) with the source (document). And the documents do not say that

Then the Russian 8th, 11th, 7th and 9th armies (594 thousand men and 1938 guns) who went on the offensive broke through the well-fortified positional defense of the Austro-Hungarian front (486 thousand people and 1846 guns)

and that by the beginning of the Brusilovsky breakthrough, the South-Western Front included 573 thousand bayonets, 60 thousand sabers, 1770 light and 168 heavy guns (of which 596 field and 74 heavy in the 8th army in the direction of the main attack) .
The Austro-German troops had 448 thousand bayonets and 27 thousand sabers, 1,3 thousand light and 545 heavy artillery pieces. When the German Kaiser visited the site of the German Southern Army, he was delighted and announced that he had not seen such positions even in the West.
That is, the balance of power did not favor a large-scale offensive.
And what a result!

Quote: Blue Cop

you confuse literature (Oskin) with the source (document).

Yes? You are a strange person, call your number as if it refutes mine)) And Oskin writes with reliance on documents, like any historical research. DISTINCTIVE discrepancies in numbers are constantly obtained from different historians, so what?
And the numbers I didn’t give you were Oskin at all, these are the figures of Brusilov himself
Once again I quote for you Brusilov himself, what kind of forces he had and WHO HE ATTACKED (maybe he forgot the Southern Army of the Germans? )

"The artillery preparation lasted from 3 a.m. June 4 (May 22, Old Style) until 9 a.m. June 6 (May 24, SS) and led to the severe destruction of the first line of defense and the partial neutralization of enemy artillery. Then switched to the offensive The Russians of the 8th, 11th, 7th and 9th armies (594 thousand people and 1938 guns) broke through the well-fortified positional defense of the Austro-Hungarian front (486 thousand people and 1846 guns), commanded by Archduke Frederick. The breakthrough was carried out immediately at 13 sites with subsequent development towards the flanks and in depth.

By noon on June 6 (May 24, SS), 900 officers and more than 40 thousand lower ranks were captured, 77 guns, 134 machine guns and 49 bombers were captured. By June 9 (May 27, SS), 1240 officers and more than 71 thousand lower ranks were captured, 94 guns, 179 machine guns, 53 bomb and mortars were captured

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brusilov A.A. My memories. - M .: Military Publishing, 1983.P. 199.

But I’m telling you once again that small discrepancies in numbers are quite acceptable, although you rushed to refute my and Brusilov’s numbers with your own and didn’t even cite references to the “document”)

Well, Brusilov himself spoke about the result
"This operation did not give any strategic results, and could not give, because the decision of the military council on April 1 was not carried out in any way. The Western front did not strike, and the Northern Front had the motto familiar to us from the Japanese war." patience, patience and patience. "The headquarters, in my conviction, did not fulfill its purpose in any way to manage the entire Russian armed force. The grandiose victorious operation, which could be carried out with the proper course of action of our supreme high command in 1916, was unforgivably lost."
- Brusilov A.A. My memories. - M .: Military Publishing, 1983.P. 215, 214

[Blue cop]

IT IS HE ATTACKED (maybe the Southern Army of the Germans and forgot?

Have you seen the map?
The 7th and 11th armies of the SWF acted against the German Southern Army.
The Germans themselves write about this in detail) And other SOURCES.
I do not know what Brusilov forgot - he is a memoirist, he can write about anything and what he personally is interested in. By the way, he did not write that he had not fought with the German troops.
You can write any large posts you want, but from the fact of the AUSTRIAN-GERMAN and not the Austrian troops that were defeated during the Brusilov breakthrough - do not turn your back)) And the Russians beat them in droves - that the Austrians, that the Germans

[Blue cop]

This operation did not give any strategic results, and could not give, because the decision of the military council on April 1 was not implemented in any way. The Western Front did not strike a major blow, and the Northern Front had as its motto the “patience, patience and patience” familiar to us from the Japanese War.

Yes, but there was a strategic result anyway.
The enemy threw parts of 45 divisions, lost a huge territory, suffered heavy losses.
L. V. Vetoshnikov also noted: “The offensive of the Russian armies on the southwestern front shocked the Austrian forces in Galicia and Bukovina, causing alarm among the command of the central powers. The complete defeat of the 4th and 7th Austrian armies forced the Austro-German command to suspend the offensive in Trentino and eased the situation for the Anglo-French near Verdun. ”
The crisis of the reserves of the Germans.
If the Allies launched the SYNCHRONOUS offensive — that is, they started their Somme earlier, then the war could have ended earlier.

Quote: Blue Cop

Yes, why didn’t they recognize the existence of this army before? Or is it necessary according to the rules of trolling?

Quote: Blue Cop

Do not distort. You hung noodles by rejecting the existence of the German Southern Army.

Well, where did I reject the EXISTENCE of the South German army? Do you ascribe something to me, I repeat to you again, although I’m already tired, where do you see the BREAKTHROUGH on the front held by the South German army ?? If you are both historians and Brusilov yourself (you better than him poor fools know who he fought with and what fronts he broke through ?? ) EXPLAIN and DRAW ON THE MAP with ARROWS (on your own map) that our armies defeated the 8th and 9th armies on the 4th and 7th, respectively, and the main blow was delivered against them (watch the number of arrows on the map). Some tactical successes against the Southern army of the Germans were, but insignificant and were stopped by counterattacks. Brusilov himself writes about this to you, where do you see the rout of the GERMANS? I WOULD ABOUT THIS AND WRITTEN IN MY FIRST FIRST POST, THAT SUCCESSES AGAINST THE AUSTRIANS WERE HUGE, BUT THE ONLY THE GERMANS WERE SUITABLE, ALL ENDED !!!
Nemchura tightened reserves and everything quickly ended in the Kovel massacre, Brusilov himself writes all this and all historians are sane. I quoted Brusilov, as well as quotations by historians and Ludendorff about the allegedly "torn" front of the South German army.
So you can write at once 5 answers posts, as you do (tired of answering), but I do not see the defeated Germans at the army level. An attempt to pass off tactical successes for some sort of breakthroughs of the fronts is very biased. In conclusion, another interesting quote by Brusilov about the technical development of our army, so to speak, its material side
Brusilov was often reproached during his lifetime that his successes were bought with huge blood of soldiers and that’s what he answered (well, you refute him, you know better in the 21st century)

"" I heard reproaches that I did not spare dear soldier's blood. I honestly cannot plead guilty of this. True, since the case began, I urgently required bringing it to a successful conclusion. As for the amount of blood spilled, it depended not from me, but from the technical equipment that was supplied to me from above, and it wasn’t my fault that there were not enough rounds and shells, there was a lack of heavy artillery, the air fleet was ridiculously small and poor-quality, and so on. "influenced the increase in our losses by those killed and wounded. But what do I have to do with it? There was no shortage of my urgent requirements, and that’s all I could do."

[Blue cop]

Well, where did I reject the EXISTENCE of the South German army?

This is yours (see above)

Where is the southern army of the Germans ?? Why tell a fairy tale?))

That is, rejected, and now get out.
As for the breakthrough of its front, the 7th Army of General D. G. Shcherbachev clashed on May 24 with the main forces of the South German Army. The brilliant breakthrough of the 2nd Army Corps of General V.E.Flug of the Yazlovets’s positions (which were considered impregnable), the defeat of the Hoffmann Corps by the central corps of the 7th Army decided the outcome of the battle.
I wrote this too.
The 11th and 7th armies acted against it. Which acted by the way - more successfully than the 8th even.
If you do not believe the research of professional Soviet military historians, maps, etc. - It's your problems.
But Brusilov does not refute the existence of this army and the fact that its front defeated it. In my memoirs, I’m writing something, I focus on something, but not on something. Memory is a selective thing.
But I’ll tell you what Vyacheslav Olegovich - I had previously guessed who Siala and Mauritius are, and now I understand who such a murrow and uncle murzik are. And specifically disappointed. Yeah ...

Brusilov was often reproached during his lifetime that his successes were bought by the huge blood of soldiers

If anything, the losses were at least EQUAL. For the advancing and defending. What is nonsense for an offensive in positional warfare. Refute if you can.
A soldier’s blood is a pity. But at a later time they did not spare her - even more

"The 11th and 7th armies broke through the front, but the offensive was stopped by enemy counter-attacks."

Well, about the losses, then I agree. The Austrians lost a lot, which balances very much, their troops generally fought very differently, in general I will say this - our Austrians have developed a superiority complex (and deservedly), and the Germans have an inferiority complex (also deservedly)

[Gopnik]

The Germans were also sometimes beaten - the Warsaw-Ivangorod operation or winter Prasnysh, for example. But, in general, the German army, I think, was better in both world wars compared to all the participants. Moreover, in WWI this is understandable and logical.

Well, firstly, since you didn’t see the Reichsarchive in your eyes, you DO NOT KNOW the composition of the Southern German Army. German is so, only by name and command.
"The core of the German Southern Army was the task force of General P. von Hoffmann, which included German and Austrian units. Also, the Austrian 6th (Gen. A. Arts von Straussenburg), 9th (Field Marshal-Lieutenant) R. Kralicek) and the 13th (Gen. A. Remen zu Behrensfeld) army corps, as well as the 39th German Infantry Division of General Oppeln-Bronikowski. "
Not a lot of Germans in the GERMAN army, huh? One division and mixed Hoffman task force.
Now for the blue cops I explain where you read about the rout !! corps (but in fact it is a mixed Austro-German task force) "Hoffmann"? The case must have a NUMBER !!, tell me the number of the Hoffman GERMAN BODY ?? Our defense broke through, but were stopped by counterattacks. Here is an article on topvar
https://topwar.ru/96527-upuschennye-vozmozhnosti-
brusilovskogo-proryva.html

Here, too, a certain Hoffmann corps is mentioned with a tongue twister and the numbers of our corps, Austrian, are given right here, but the numbers of the HERMAN HERMAN HOUSING do not lead, you mean?
And further on in the text, if you read something, and not just write, the storytellers talk about the subsequent counterattacks - you see, they severely "raided" the Germans Southern Army - and that’s all, the counterattacks were repelled and General Shcherbachev DECIDED TO STOP THE ATTACK.
So don’t you turn me on stupid, or give a specific link to the Reichsarchive, which indicates the number and composition of the Hoffman GERMAN Corps, or I can answer you the same way - do not lie and read the Reichsarchiv: Der Weltkrieg von 1914 bis 1918.

Why should I trust the Soviet historians of the 20-30s more than the direct participants and commanders of the events, as well as the numerous and respected historians who write with a deep knowledge of the subject and references to the source? On the contrary, I would not have trusted the studies written in such a difficult period of our history or would have sought confirmation from other sources that sincere enthusiasts of this issue, such as Oskin, for example, have already done. Yes, and not the same historians that you are talking about helped Brusilov write memoirs during the Soviet era?

Quote: Blue Cop

The southern German army suffered a severe defeat. The fact is the place to be.

Defeat - it may very well be, although she quickly recovered from her initial stun, precisely thanks to the FEW NUMBER OF GERMAN TROOPS IN THIS GERMAN ARMY But a deep breakthrough in this area did not work, and even a strong counterattack began.
So WHERE is the rout of the GERMANS? Maybe that's why no one writes about the rout of the Germans, but they write only a huge number of prisoners and trophies taken from the Austro-Hungarian armies.

[Blue cop]

Blue, are you really laughing blue and also a cop

Send insults, since there is nothing to say
Smart ass! It was called - the Hoffmann (Hoffman) corps. And here is his commander. Max Hoffman Typical "Austrian" general

Learn the structure of the German army. A number of formations were named after commanders - from corps to army groups.
But the commander of the German Southern Army, Count Botmer, also a typical "Austrian"

By the way, they forgot about the Marshall corps (in addition to the Hoffmann corps) - also German.
So - he acted against the 11th army. Kuznetsov. Campaign 1916 M., 1941 S. 60.

sincere enthusiasts of this issue, such as Oskin

Just the same, many "enthusiasts" very much relied heavily on the works of 20-30. - which by the way were written in times with the highest research culture and highly qualified people. Former generals - such as Brusilov.
And EVERYONE writes about the defeat of the Austro-German troops. Recently there was an article on Broken Steel on Broken Steel - on the 10th German Corps. By the way, the army of A. von Linsingen lost over 82 thousand people in May battles, or 51% of the initial composition (the German 10th Corps - over 80%). If you think that there were few Germans in the South GERMAN army - then they increased it. The total losses of the Germans in the 1916 campaign on the Russian front - 400 thousand, most of them during the offensive Southwest Front.

[barbiturate]

Well, it's time to sleep, but the blue cop don’t sleep !! look for the number of the Hoffmann corps in the Rehsarhive)) or they write here, on topvar in the article (I gave you the link)
"In the direction of the main attack, the 2nd Corps of General Floog, together with the Turkestan Division, broke the enemy’s 2-3 trench lines on the first day. On May 25 (June 7), our troops broke into the Yazlovets on the shoulders of the enemy. May 25 attacked the central 16th Corps General Savvich and overthrew the 6th Austro-Hungarian Corps. On May 27, the right-flank 22nd Corps of Brinken attacked and defeated the Hoffmann Corps. The Austrian troops, suffering heavy casualties, retreated behind the Strypa River in disorder. . "

So all the buildings have numbers, but no German)) to see the most unworthy gathered in this building)) They even regretted the number. Probably the 666th German corps)) Although where are the Germans here, they themselves write "the right-flank 22nd Corps of Brinken and defeated the Hoffmann's enemy corps. The Austrian troops, having suffered heavy losses, retreated behind the Strypa river in disarray." About the Germans and do not say right there, "Austrian troops .."
According to the blue cop, the Germans were defeated from the nameless corps, and the Austrians fled)))
With laughter you can burst))
Well, it's time to sleep)

Are you running away?
Okay, sleep.
Read about the GERMAN corps and the army groups of the PMV.
This did not prevent them from being Germanic.
By the way, the Marshall corps was still active in the Carpathians (the German 48th Reserve and 3rd Guards Infantry and Austro-Hungarian 19th Infantry Divisions. Reichsarchiv. Der Weltkrieg 1914 - 1918. Vand 8. Sommer und Herbst 1915. Berlin, 1932. s . 592).

And not only
Somehow

[barbiturate]

You simply got confused in all these buildings and your desire to show the rout of the GERMANS - I did not argue about the rout of the Austrians, it was a glorious thing
But I repeat, you are confused)
Let’s go through the Hoffmann’s corps first (let’s be the Hoffmann)

Quote: Blue Cop

Smart ass! It was called - the Hoffmann (Hoffman) corps. And here is his commander. Max Hoffman

You confuse the FAMOUS GERMAN MAX Hoffmann and ATTENTION !!!! - AUSTRIAN GENERAL Peter von Hoffmann !!!!!!
So, under the leadership of this AUSTRIAN GENERAL, an OPERATIONAL GROUP was created !!! -
"The Hoffmann task force., Which was part of the German. Southern Army, consisted of the 1st German infantry division (general von Comte) and the Austro-Hungarian 55th infantry division (general Drd) and the 131st infantry Brigades (Colonel Berger) "
"During the Brusilov breakthrough, the Hoffmann task force was the only one who could provide worthy resistance to the Russian armies."

Above, I already brought you the composition of the Southern Army:
"The core of the German Southern Army was the task force of General P. von Hoffmann, which included German and Austrian units. Also, the Austrian 6th (Gen. A. Arts von Straussenburg), 9th (Field Marshal-Lieutenant) R. Kralicek) and the 13th (Gen. A. Remen zu Behrensfeld) army corps, as well as the 39th German Infantry Division of General Oppeln-Bronikowski. "

So, we see the whole TWO GERMAN DIVISIONS and NO HERMAN Hoffmann Hull !! This is the South GERMAN army))) And where are the Germans ??)))
Moreover, our troops, precisely because of the incorporation of GERMAN units into the South GERMAN army (what a mockery of history, the German army with almost no German units ) achieved here a simple wedge in defense, albeit a good wedge, but were stopped by counterattacks, repelled these counterattacks and EVERYTHING! Then we went in a different direction - to the place where the AUSTRIANS were REALLY defeated.

So I tried to explain to you that there was NO DESTRUCTION OF THE SOUTH GERMAN ARMY, just as there were NO HERMAN HERMAN HOUSING and, in general, GERMANS, it was extremely SMALL !! during the breakthrough of Brusilov, it was later, so that the front would not completely fall apart, the Germans began to transfer PURE GERMAN units to the direction of our main blow after the breakthrough and how it ended, we know, and Brusilov himself told.

Well, now one more thing - Hoffmann's OPERATIONAL GROUP was equal in strength to CASE and many, FOR SIMPLICITY OF PERCEPTION, call it (operational group) - CASE, but only NOT GERMAN, but AUSTRIAN !!!!!!!!!!! That's what foreigners write

"das kuk Korps" Hofmann "mit der deutschen 1. Division, kuk 55. Infanterie-Division und 131. Landsturmbrigade stand in der Mitte und"

Black and white - das kuk Korps „Hofmann“ - AUSTRIAN - kuk !!!!!!!!
Was there a HERMAN HERMAN HOUSING in the GERMAN ARMY? And was he defeated? ANSWER - NO !!!!!!!

That is why neither historians nor Brusilov himself have ever recollected any German DESTRUCTIONS during the Brusilovsky breakthrough - there were almost no Germans, and even their defeat on the site of the Southern Army.

Time is short, as it appears, maybe we'll figure it out with the Marshal’s corps, it’s also very interesting there))

[Blue cop]

we see the whole TWO GERMAN DIVISIONS and NO HERMAN Hoffmann Hull !! This is the South GERMAN army))) And where are the Germans ??)))

So 2 divisions = corps. Itself wrote - 2 GERMAN divisions.
Buddy - how do you explain the Marshal’s corps?
I look - what is uncomfortable - you bypass your attention
But in its composition there are 2 more German divisions - the 48th reserve and 3rd guards infantry + Austro-Hungarian 19th infantry divisions. (Reichsarchiv. Der Weltkrieg 1914 - 1918. Vand 8. Sommer und Herbst 1915. Berlin, 1932. s. 592).
How many already - 4 German divisions in the Southern Army? )))
And what is your nonsense that there WAS NOT NAME compounds in the German army but only license plates?
But what then: the army groups of Wojrsch, von Scholz, Gronau, Strantz, q, Elsa, Gundel.
And the corps: Gerok, Marshall, etc.
There were consolidated for example buildings. Yes, a lot more.

[Blue cop]

I did not write that the GERMAN troops were defeated - but the AUSTRIAN-GERMAN, as dear historians write. Of course, the Austrians were an order of magnitude more. Until the Germans, until 45 (!!!) divisions, they were transferred to Galicia in the summer and autumn of 1916.
In addition to the few that were already part of the South German Army, which suffered a serious defeat during the Brusilov offensive.

[Blue cop]

So you confirmed my words that several German divisions were on the Galician front. Just in the South Army.

1st germ. infantry. divisions (general von Comte)

So your explanation of your nonsense about Max Hoffmann (ear) and the Austrian Hoffmann hull was not enough? HOW WELL DID YOU SILENT ABOUT YOUR LITTLE AND EASY - LITERACY MIXING THE GENERALS and THE ARMY and still blaming me for something))

Quickly glanced over the Marshall's case , as I knew, where are the Germans? WHERE IS THE GERMAN HOUSING?
All foreign sources give the same thing - seconded to the AUSTRIAN ARMY and Commanded the Marshall Corps consisting of Austrian units. WHERE IS THE GERMAN HOUSING HERE? WHAT DIVISIONS INCLUDED? Even a cursory analysis speaks of the German commander of the Austrian units, here you have the GERMAN CASE.
So you showed me a picture of General Marshall, and next to the picture did you read the text?))

"In February 1915, the General was selected to command the newly-established Korps Marschall, formed from various Austrian infantry divisions and fighting in the Bukovina region in support of Armeegruppe Pflanzer-Baltin."

Translation for you

"In February 1915, the general was elected command of the recently created Marshall Corps, formed from various Austrian infantry divisions and fighting in Bukovina in support of the Pfanzer-Baltin Armieegruppa"

You provide a link to 1915 !! year and you don’t even understand where the GUARDIAN RESERVE HOUSING of the GERMANS ends and the MARSHAL FROM AUSTRIANS begins))

In the Marshall Corps, there are 2 German divisions - the 48th Reserve and 3rd Guards Infantry + Austro-Hungarian 19th Infantry Divisions. (Reichsarchiv. Der Weltkrieg 1914 - 1918. Vand 8. Sommer und Herbst 1915. Berlin, 1932. s. 592).
The corps was part of the Southern German Army. This is evidenced by the work of Kuznetsov (cited above) and the Reichsarchive.

Here we take the Strantz group - the commander of the 5th army corps, and from this corps the Stranz Army Group was formed.
That is, the Army Group did not carry a number, in peacetime it did not exist, but the corps at its core - had a number.

For me, not two divisions - the corps. Unlike you, I do not call the corps and army groups - DIVISIONS.
It was just about the number of German divisions. 2 divisions - counting corps (1st and 37th) + Marshall corps.
I know the composition of the Southern Army — as Kuznetsov and other historians know it. And the Germans too. Marshall in February 1915. I led the corps as part of the Southern Army (its composition in the autumn of 1915 - 3 divisions, 2 of which were German).

WERE NOT PURE PERMANENT GERMAN DIVISIONS, AND THEREFORE, HAD NO NUMBERS OF THE GERMAN ARMY.

Who called the groups and corps divisions - am I?

There were NO ACCOUNT buildings, as well as the MARSHAL GERMAN HOUSING and the Hoffman GERMAN HOUSING

It is clear that it was not. But 2 brigades are considered as a division, and 2 divisions as a corps. This is just what is important - when there is a mix and summary connections and unions.
But we find out the number of divisions and not corps? The composition of the division is constant, but the corps is not. Just look at the Russian corps.
The marshal was transferred - and his corps remained part of the Southern Army (Kuznetsov. M., 1941., Reichsarchive).
In any case, the fact that in the GERMAN Southern Army was already at the beginning of the Brusilovsky breakthrough was several German divisions - you will not be able to murzik.

There is a Brusilovsky breakthrough, it was discussed - the composition of the Vojrs Army Group for the events under consideration

"At the end of June 1916, group B. (XXV reserve, III and KHP Austro-Hungarian corps, III german landwehr corps; in total about 82 battalions and 248 guns) was located against the 4th Russian army of the Western Front (Baranavichy district), where it was planned to deliver the main blow to the Russian front. Successful actions thwarted an attempt to break through the front, retaining positions and inflicting great damage to the enemy. "

So go to the forest, now he already has 1917, you drop the roster to him - again GERMAN

To summarize:

And as for the shooters - as far as I know, when rifle brigades (1-8) were deployed in the division - then the standard 4-battalion squad appeared. In the years 1915-1916.
A. Denikin writes that the 4th Iron Rifle Brigade led by him was deployed to the division in 1915.

[Gopnik]

Thank you very much, very interesting. I note for myself, it turns out that the 1916 campaign brought the rifle regiments to 4 battalions. As we know, they entered the war as part of 2, in 1915 it was supposed to be 3 according to the states, and in 1916 already 4, i.e. switched to the usual infantry staff. I wonder how widespread it was.

Well, let's get down to specifics and summarize. Hoffmann Task Force - listed as Austrian? YES! And it was never considered a GERMAN HOUSING !! Do you admit it? It was listed as Austrian and most of its composition was Austrian, BUT it included the 1st German division.
We deal with the 1st German division
There is information on it and here DISCOVERY awaits us !! It turns out that the 1st German division was still in the BEGINNING of MARCH 1916 and was transferred to the WESTERN FRONT and on April 20 attacked Verdun !!
So it turns out that in the Hoffmann Task Force there are no Germans at all? It turns out like this

Now another German division of the Southern German Army is the 37th, although the same Oskin speaks of the 39th division, are we looking at both?
37th stayed almost all of 1916 in Latvia, near Daugavpils and could not hold the defense as part of the Southern Army - IT LOSES.
The 39th, as in 1914, fell on the Western Front, so it fought there and, like the 1st Division, it “thundered” near Verdun in 1916

According to my data, there were NO MORE GERMAN Divisions or any other GERMAN divisions as part of the EXACTLY SOUTH German Army - THERE WAS NOT !! So where are the Germans in the Southern Army?

Further, you mention the 3rd Guard Reserve and the 48th Reserve, perhaps they were, although I did NOT MEET them anywhere in the COMPOSITION of the Southern Army. REPEAT !!! We are disassembling the year 1916 and by time the BRUSILOVSK BREAKTHROUGH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT WRITE ABOUT 1915th or 1917th year !!

Watching the 3rd Guard Reserve
A wonderful division, very combat-ready and the Germans praise it very much, it managed to fight in the West quite a bit and was already thrown to the East at the end of August 1914, and then we are STUNNED again !!!
It turns out that the 3rd Guards Reserve Division already in mid-April 1916 was transferred to CHAMPAGNE, WEST !! Positional battles and then the Somme !! She never dreamed of any Brusilovsky breakthrough, she had enough of her problems on the Somme)

We look at the 48th reserve
Well, at least everything is clean here - held the defense during the Brusilovsky breakthrough, ONE DIVISION REALLY WAS

Something GERMAN TROOPS WELL VERY LITTLE FOR CHECK

[Blue cop]

Are you even Etuziast Oskin Wrong?
The composition of the German Southern Army at the beginning of September 1916 (Reichsarchive, T.11, S. 370.) consisted of 7 German (119, 199, 208, 216 divisions, 1 and 49 res. Div., 3 guards div.) , 2 Turkish (19 and 29) and 5 Austrian.
It is clear that in many respects this is the result of the Germans moving to the Southwest Front.
And in May 1916. - find out, find. Don’t worry, we’ll deal with this issue)) Maybe there’s a confusion with the numbers - but one (!) German division in the Southern Army, you know, could not be. Starting from the Carpathian operation, the Germans pumped it up with troops, even though they were moving back and forth constantly. By the way, the 3rd Guards was WAS a part of the Southern Army in 1915 (Reichsarhiv T.T. 8-9) and it was there in September 1916 (Reichsarhiv T. 11).

Now I’m re-reading it, maybe I didn’t see it and didn’t understand it.

Subsequently, the Germans transferred many divisions, the situation changed rapidly and as soon as the Germans approached, success quickly ended, unfortunately.
So far, the Germans are not particularly visible, and even more so, the breakthrough of the front is not visible on the site defended by a purely German division.
It will be necessary to understand in more detail, although the time is short and for work tomorrow)

[Blue cop]

You perfectly understand that not everything is so simple.
The division is clearly not alone.
Russian and German positions broke through - and in 16, and in 17 years. In the latter case, it is even more disappointing that the infantry refused to develop tactical breakthroughs. The Russian army gradually studied positional warfare - after all, no one was preparing for it. And our equipment was not like that of the Germans.
In maneuverability, everything was easier - this has been studied since peacetime: Gumbinnen, Radom, Warsaw, Prasnysh, Zhuravno. This is the victory of Russian weapons over the Germans - and far from mythical)
Pack up don't distract

Yes, everything is really ambiguous, we have to deal with the same German divisions ourselves
And yet, for me it is very likely that the Germans were not at all on the defensive during the breakthrough of Brusilov The Germans simply did not expect that their allies in fortified positions would manage so quickly and on a large scale, the divisions had to be hurriedly thrown back, again the 3rd Guards example.
Or the 48th German division, for example about it.
"By May 30, Russian troops suspended their impulse due to a successful counterattack hastily transferred to the direction of the breakthrough of the 48th German infantry division along the right flank of the 16th Army Corps of General S. S. Savich."
“So, with strong counterattacks carried out by the German units, the enemy prompted the 7th commander Gen. D. G. Shcherbachev to stop the rush of troops. As you can see, in all the front armies, as well as in the front headquarters, the commanders were afraid of the power of the German attacks, famous for flanking maneuvers . Therefore, the Russian military leaders hindered the successfully developing offensive, tightening reserves and rear, and at the same time taking a united front, known as the “wall of the corps.” Nevertheless, up to June 4, that is, ten days of the offensive, the 7th Army took about forty thousand people were captured, and forty-one guns, twenty-five mortars and one hundred and eighty machine guns were captured. "

So, here is ONE CERTAINLY INSTALLED GERMAN DIVISION and that, as you can understand from the text, is not completely defeated during the breakthrough and does not seem to sit at all somewhere on the defensive, is thrown from somewhere and immediately SUCCESSFULLY counterattacked.

Somehow, all this coincides with the recollections of Brusilov and other military men who persistently recall ONLY ABOUT the Austrian prisoners, trophies and breakthroughs of the AUSTRIAN positions, but do not say ANYWHERE - they say they broke through the GERMAN POSITIONS, took the GERMAN prisoners, trophies ...

There have indeed been victories more than once, but these are tactical victories, ordinary military swings in most cases.
I agree with Gumbinen, Warsaw is already very controversial (if we are talking about the Warsaw-Ivangorod operation), I would add Ivangorod’s defense to this list, they defended very well, there was a great commander, Aleksey Vladimirovich von Schwartz, and pressed the Austrians and Germans.
More, against the Germans, by and large, there is nothing to remember.

[Blue cop]

How is it nothing?
Well I wrote - Radom, the defeat of the German guard during the Warsaw-Ivangorod operation. First Augustus - defeat of the 8th army in East Prussia.
Second Prasnysh - 2 German corps almost destroyed
Crane - a heavy defeat of the Southern Army. By the way, the 3rd Guards Division suffered greatly.
And during the Offensive of 1916 - the very same Kiselin, about which there was a discussion in the article about broken steel.
However, I really hope that the author of this article will stop not only on the little-known operations of the WWII, but also on the moments of the Russian-German confrontation itself.

Since the moderators have deleted my last message, I will supplement my last message.
I know how to admit my mistakes or inaccuracies, but you don’t and I wrote to you about your mistakes, they are obvious.

And now, I admit that the 8th German army was, of course, not all of the reservists, and included in its composition, including 3 PERSONNEL ARMY CASES - 1 AK, 17 AK and 20 AK. I wrote the answer in the morning, before work, in response to your rude and ridiculous statements full of mystery, you think that you are very smart, huh?)) Therefore, of course, ALL 8th army did not consist of reservists. The fact that the 1st and 17th AKs are the best in the German army, I have not seen such statements from the Germans in literature. And here is the OTHER German formations and units (if the word of the unit so disturbs the poor fellow ) were reserve, landverny and landstormny formations.
After counting all the forces and means, we get such a picture. Compare the 8th German Army ONLY !! with Samsonov’s second army.

8-th Army

163 battalions;
364 machine guns;
74 squadron;
576 light guns;
192 howitzers.
62 aircraft and 1 airship.


2nd army of Samosonov
132 battalions;
324 machine guns;
88 squadron;
476 light guns;
72 howitzers;
24 aircraft

The Germans had some advantage in the total number of light guns and machine guns, and overwhelming superiority in howitzers and aircraft.
In the infantry (due to a larger number of companies) and cavalry, we had some advantage over the Germans.

So I agree with the researchers of this question:

"The decisive role was played not by the number of troops, guns and machine guns, but by the ABILITY to use them, the training and stamina of the troops, their ability and willingness to Pursue a flinching enemy, to bring the success of an individual battle to victory in the battle.
In these qualities, alas, the German army surpassed its Russian adversary in East Prussia.

We talked about the troops actually participating in combat operations.

Now about unused reserves.
The Germans had almost none. They managed to fist and direct everything that could be sent to the battlefield: from landver and land-assault units (which the Russian generals initially did not consider at all to be combat-ready troops), to artillery and machine guns removed from the rear fortresses and thrown into battle.
Even exotic units such as ersatz-reserve cavalry and artillery appeared
and ersatz machine-gun companies.
Almost the entire German guard was then on the Western Front. In the East, everything that could and remained unused by the Germans fought.

But the Russian command reacted to the concentration of its huge forces with startling thoughtlessness and irresponsibility. "

But this is so, I don’t need 100 more posts and holivars, but Brusilov broke through the defense of which GERMAN divisions, you never found - they didn’t seem to be at all, although I’m looking for it myself and am interested.

[Blue cop]

About the composition
There was an article on VO https://topwar.ru/123931-reshayuschaya-bitva-perv
oy-mirovoy-vostochno-prusskaya-operaciya-1914-god
ao-sootnoshenii-sil.html
Based on German data.
The 8th army consisted of 203 battalions (and 95 squadrons) and 1128 guns, and the first-line troops (field and reserve) made up almost 2/3 of its composition (that is, the myth that the army consisted of second-line - entirely “landver” - troops are untenable). In total - 16 infantry and equal divisions, or 200000 people.
The 1st and 17th army corps in training and fighting spirit were considered one of the best in the Kaiser army [Andreev V. The first Russian march - maneuver in the Great War - Gumbinen and Marna. Paris, 1928. S. 28].
Before the First Battle of the Masurian Lakes, which began on August 25, the army was significantly strengthened by troops deployed from the French Front.
In their composition:
Guards Reserve Corps (GRK) (3-I Guards Infantry and 1-I Guards Reserve Division (GD)) - 28 battalions and 28 batteries (160 guns);
11 Army Corps (22-I and 38-I PD) - 24 battalion, 30 batteries (168 guns);
8 Cavalry Division - 24 squadron and 3 batteries (12 guns).
The 8 Army has increased by more than a quarter of the original force (over the 50000 bayonets) - at the expense of excellent first-line troops.

And as for the German divisions in the Brusilovsky breakthrough - as I said I will find, you will see the first))

[Blue cop]

I forgot to compare with the Russians.
If the 8th army - up to 200000 people and 1128 guns, then the Russians - the 1st (Neman) army included:
6,5 infantry and 5,5 cavalry divisions: up to 100000 people, 402 guns, and the 2nd Army (Narevskaya): 12 infantry, 3 cavalry divisions - 150000 people, 702 guns.
That is, the German army was stronger than the Russians separately, on which they built their maneuver. Uncle Murzik threw the figures, but you just take it by the throat - you traditionally have no source base.

[Gopnik]

Is that Murzik in a new hypostasis ???

TOTAL in the 8th German Army, there were:
183 battalions;
418 machine guns;
84 squadron;
624 light guns
464 howitzers and
62 aircraft and 1 airship.

But, if we subtract from this number the forces that DO NOT take part in the battles with the corps of the 2nd Russian Army (and these are the garrisons of the Koenigsberg, Letzen fortresses, Stage Inspection), then their number will decrease to:

163 battalions;
364 machine guns;
74 squadrons;
576 light guns;
192 howitzers.
(Sometimes, when calculating the total number of German howitzers participating in those battles, in order to get a more "solid" figure, they add to them more than 200 fortifications of Koenigsberg, which were not involved in operations against the 2nd Russian Army)

All data on the combat composition of the German troops were taken based on the calculations of the official historiographer of the 8th German Army Theobald Schäfer.

So what do you, clown, give references to the number of people not on the Reichsarchive or documents of the Red Army, but on an article in topwar?

So in an article in topwar - and there are links to the Reichsarchive and the Collection of documents. You along the way - pretend to be a fool or kidding.

So you mentioned SOVIET HISTORIANS, EVSEYEV for example, that’s how he refers to THEOBALD SHAFER - OFFICIAL HISTORIOGRAPH of the 8th German Army
here's a link for you, enlighten
http://www.grwar.ru/library/Evseev-August/EA_120.

indicated there
TOTAL in the 8th German Army, there were:
183 battalions

Hello, so the man gave you a link below Evseev
PRESENT
Evseev N. August battle of the 2nd Russian army in East Prussia (Tannenberg) in 1914, Moscow, 1936. P. 26. The composition of the 8th army: 192 battalions, 95 squadrons, 1131 guns.
So check what is written on this page - 192 battalions, not 163. Brehunishka.
In general, I look forward to meeting
He himself said - see you, we won’t talk here

[Blue cop]

The armies were defeated in QUEUE for a number of reasons, including the balance of power.
So write - how to find you, where and at what time we will meet. Otherwise, you yap, taking on a cannon that is not able to indicate even a page as a link.

Uhaha "for a number of reasons" - and these reasons I have repeatedly called for you - EXCELLENCE IN CONTROL OF MILITIES, ARTILLERY, AIRCRAFT, MANEUVER, COMMUNICATION, etc. There were no advantages in the number of personnel in the 2nd Army.

it’s a pity the clown and he was sucked up that it’s impossible to personally argue, with numbers in his hands and books in his hands

Of course it’s a pity, because all you can do is troll and drum on the keyboard.

[kipage]

Totally agree with you.
An illiterate miracle of judo crawled out - and due to rudeness, impudence and aplomb, it gets into your eyes without bringing anything.
I've rummaged in the literature and the data of the Reichsarchive and the Collection of documents of the General Staff of the RCA are confirmed by the solid work of specialists.
So:
Wacetis I. I. Operations on the eastern border of Germany in 1914. Part 1. East Prussian operation. M.: State Publishing House, 1929. S. 20. The 8th Army has 196 battalions (and not 163 as this barbiturate wrote), 89 squadrons (i.e., about 200 thousand people) and 1044 guns (excluding those who approached immediately after the commencement of the operation of connections - for example, the 1st Landver Division).
Evseev N. August battle of the 2nd Russian army in East Prussia (Tannenberg) in 1914, Moscow, 1936. P. 26. The composition of the 8th army: 192 battalions, 95 squadrons, 1131 guns.
The data is almost the same.

Above, I have already provided a link to my data, ONLY COUNTING THOSE PARTS THAT REALLY WERE INVOLVED IN THE BATTLE ACTIONS, AND NOT THE SECURITY FORCES AND GUNS !!!
But you don’t understand this)) that any digital signature needs to be critically analyzed

[kipage]

Everything is counted there
Eyes open
And it is said that almost a quarter of the NWF armies were also distracted from the front and remained in the rear.
The common feature of both armies was that the non-successive divisions did not arrive at the start of the operation. A number of units, being concentrated in Poland, then entered the 9 Army. There was no time for the offensive and a significant part of the second-rate Cossack regiments (military cavalry).

The heavy artillery brigade did not have time for the 1st Army. Since part of the field troops was left for internal service, and the Cossack regiments of cavalry divisions served as a temporary replacement for the cavalry cavalry (spraying between infantry formations and units), in fact, the 1st Army had only 96 battalions and 106 squadrons and hundreds (this is the Red Army Document Collection )
The actual composition of the 2nd Army at the beginning of the operation was 158 battalions, 72 squadrons, 626 guns. During the operation, the composition was reduced (8 battalions of the 3rd GVPD and 6 battalions of the 1st brigade arrived, but the 2nd AK left for the 1st Army) to 140 battalions with 506 guns.
The Russians left field troops in the rear garrisons (the second-priority divisions assigned for these purposes were in the process of deployment, and parts of the primary troops were allocated before their arrival). This distracted approximately 2,5 infantry divisions. AN ENEMY WITHDRAW the second-line and serf troops IN THE FIELD.
So do not distort

Rest, Penza

[Gopnik]

Well then, I sympathize with your endurance. I, too, somehow, through carelessness and inattention, stepped on the discussion at Murzik, then I got tired of rubbing myself on the grass. Zero arguments, but a lot of emoticons and stupidity. Stop this business.

[barbiturate]

That’s why I pointed

"So, TOTAL 2nd Russian Army of General Samsonov consisted of:
132 battalions;
324 machine guns;
88 squadrons;
476 light guns;
72 howitzers;
24 aircraft.

The link is the same to your Evseev, SOVIET HISTORY !!

As you can see, the Germans had some advantage in the total number of light guns and machine guns, and overwhelming superiority in howitzers and aircraft.
In the infantry (due to a larger number of companies) and cavalry, we had some advantage over the enemy.

The decisive role was played not by the number of troops, guns and machine guns, but by the ABILITY to use them, the training and endurance of the troops, their ability and willingness to Pursue a flinching enemy, to bring the success of an individual battle to victory in the battle.
In these qualities, alas, the German army surpassed its Russian adversary in East Prussia.

We talked about the troops actually participating in combat operations.

Now about unused reserves.
The Germans had almost none. They managed to fist and direct everything that could be sent to the battlefield: from landver and land-assault units (which the Russian generals initially did not consider at all to be combat-ready troops), to artillery and machine guns removed from the rear fortresses and thrown into battle.
Even exotic units such as ersatz-reserve cavalry and artillery appeared
and ersatz machine-gun companies.
Almost the entire German guard was then on the Western Front. In the East, everything that could and remained unused by the Germans fought.

But the Russian command reacted to the concentration of its huge forces with startling thoughtlessness and irresponsibility.

Oh well, stop arguing here, and then the number of clowns is growing steadily and soon they will simply overwhelm me with corpses, like our Germans in East Prussia

I am waiting for offers in PM, if you can drive to Omsk)) And you can come from Omsk

You’re ridiculous, I’m telling you about this, you and clowns are here !!!!!))

From your own words it follows that the Germans had no advantage in people !! THE GERMANS ARE MUCH GUILTY THAT THE SAMSONOV SPRAYED THE TROOPS ??? THIS IS THE ABILITY AND CONTROL OF THE MILITARY SERVICE !!!
If Samsonov still has a couple of three buildings, so what? If you do not know how to manage troops?
I wrote in my posts that the Germans brought almost disabled teams into the field, and our two armies, instead of JOINT ACTION, went somewhere, and even the 2nd Army itself scattered its forces, so who is to blame for letting them beat yourself in parts ?? Intelligent Intelligence Zero, Intelligent Troops Command - zero. As a result - a disaster in East Prussia of both armies, as a result of 7 German armies in the West, one !! German in the East - the result is known) That's how they controlled our troops.
What is the use of your TWO QUEENS IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO PLAY CHESS?

You’re a rare slow-witted one)) Our second army had no less people, we were technically inferior to the command, intelligence, and communications. So how can you give 100 divisions, you squander 90 and yell that you had fewer people - that is, lie)) And the main principle of the strategy is concentration of forces in the right section? No, you don’t know him) But the Germans knew and used it, coupled with technical superiority.
What tactics do you want to explain)) Brusilov broke through the Austrian front simply because the Austrians were LESS than the Russians, is this your competent explanation?
Less and that’s why they broke through)) Whoever gave birth to more soldiers won))
In short, now it’s for sure - you’re tired of me, crooked head, well, you

[Blue cop]

No, slow-witted.
In one of our army - 100 thousand, and in the second - 150 thousand.
Yes, the two of them are stronger than the German, in which 200 thousand
But individually, it is stronger than them than the Germans used - inflicting defeats on them in turn. After all, they interacted a bit cheerfully, or rather did not interact at all.
For the composition of the Russian armies, see the Collection of documents of the world imperialist war on the Russian Front (1914-1917). East Prussian operation. - General Staff of the Red Army. M .: Military Publishing, 1939.S. 12.
It says that there were 8 battalions in the German 199th army of one infantry. And it is written - how many troops from the Russian 1st and 2nd armies did not participate in the operation.
It is said on this page that in BOTH Russian armies there were 254 battalions, and in ONE 8th German army - 199. That is, it was stronger than EVERY OF the armies taken by the NWF SEPARATELY.
No, but maybe the specialists of the General Staff of the Red Army, who had access to primary DOCUMENTS and other information, are dumber than some ignoramus-barbiturate
This is the source, uncle - all your books next to him - pah)
And most of all I liked (wrote above) about the "swing". There were no victories, and the war was a “swing”, back and forth.
But the whole war is a swing. They either took Galicia, then lost it, then again they returned a part. And what kind of swing were on the French front)
Okay, we’ve agreed to stop talking here - wait for my call tomorrow. We will talk about sources, literature and ignorance.

[barbiturate]

I already told you that you are mistaken. The efforts of historians are understandable, an attempt to justify the terrible catastrophes of our best armies with mythical numerical superiority, and not superiority in technology and command. So your biased books 1939 - ugh

[Blue cop]

This is you engaged talker
What can be biased in Soviet materials as applied to WWI. Rather, the opposite.
The word ignoramus against the SOURCE under the auspices of the General Staff of the Red Army.
However, some, like other children, instead of being treated, it is better to make new ones

[Blue cop]

Amazing.
Collection of documents - engaged. Because it was published by the General Staff of the Red Army and published in 1939.
The Reichsarchive is also engaged (probably because the Germans wrote).
Only Internet links and barbiturates are not biased

[Blue cop]

Brusilov broke through the Austrian front simply because the Austrians were LESS than the Russians, is this your competent explanation?

Here is also a striking example of ignorance
The advancing player must always have an advantage over the defender (1 to 3 min), and even more so for breaking through a layered defense.
The troops of the front had to break through the enemy’s powerful defensive positions, consisting of two or four fortified bands located one after the other at a distance of 5-10 km, each in two or three full-profile trenches with numerous resistance nodes (dugouts, shelters, fox holes, machine-gun nests, loopholes, visors, etc.). In terms of firepower, the enemy significantly exceeded the Russian troops, who felt a great lack of heavy artillery.
The Austro-Hungarian forces had 448 thousand bayonets and 27 thousand sabers, 1,3 thousand light and 545 heavy artillery pieces. When the German Kaiser visited the site of the Southern Army, he was delighted and announced that he had not seen such positions even in the West. The Austrians were so sure of the impregnability of their borders that they organized an exhibition in Vienna, which demonstrated models and photographs of defensive structures as the highest achievements of fortification.
And our front did not have such superiority.
In total, the South-Western Front (stretching 450 km from Styry to Prut) consisted of 573 thousand bayonets (against 448 of the enemy), 60 thousand sabers, 1770 light and 168 heavy guns (against 1300 light and 545 heavy guns).
In any case, a 1 to 3 advantage in favor of the attacker, as required by military theory, was not respected. In artillery, the Russians did not have an (especially heavy) advantage. All hopes were for a thorough preparation of the operation and a new breakthrough technique.
And they reached her.
The area where the enemy was located was well studied by Russian military agents, army and aviation intelligence, and aerial photography was conducted. Officers and non-commissioned officers were supplied with plans for the attack sites. When each army had a designated area for the strike, troops secretly pulled in there, trained in the second echelon to overcome obstacles, training camps were built to train troops, and exact models of enemy positions were created. Artillery officers with infantry insignia worked out interaction with infantry at the forefront.
Special assault bridgeheads were created. They made it possible to bring the infantry units as close as possible to the starting points of the attack (approaching 200-300 steps from the enemy - otherwise the infantry would have to move on average up to 1 km in the shooting area), shelters for reserves were created. Well-disguised artillery shot targets in advance. Each gun was shot separately, for which a section of each battery was divided into gun sections. The amount of ammunition was calculated both for the destruction of wire barriers, and to create a fire shaft. The batteries were given the exact sector of fire during the preparation of the attack, while they sought to flank the attacked areas. False batteries were built. All goals were numbered, and perspective drawings of the enemy’s location were drawn up. Copies of these drawings were issued to battalion and company commanders. Particularly serious attention was paid to establishing a connection between infantry and artillery, both between combined arms commanders and artillery. In most cases, two wires were laid.
In order to maintain secrecy, even leave was granted to military personnel as usual. Almost no written orders were given. All preparations for the operation were developed and communicated to the command personnel in person at the meetings.
Artillery tactics and much more were new.
The most important thing.
New in the plan of A. A. Brusilov was that the breakthrough of enemy positions was provided for in four directions at once - the main and auxiliary, in order to disperse the attention, forces and means of the enemy and deprive him of the ability to maneuver reserves. Artillery preparation in 4 places did not allow the latter to answer the question: where is the direction of the main strike? Moreover, within the framework of each army, several corps strike sections existed.
That is why such success was achieved, a detractor of Russian military history, barbiturate (aka Uncle Murzik, aka V.O. Sh.).
Having captured 408 thousand prisoners, 581 guns, 1795 machine guns, 448 enemy mortars and mortars, only in the first 13 days of the offensive did the South-Western Front advance by the 8th Army - 75 km, and the 9th Army - 50-60 km depth at the front is 200 km long.

Why do I copy-paste it, clown? I know it better than you
I laughed at your logic that they say that Germans had more people and therefore they simply destroyed Samsonov, and now you are trying to prove that it is not quantity that is important at all, but equipment and preparation, reconnaissance and control, fighting spirit and unity of formations.
So these are all my words, and you argued with them clown
