King Peter I of Serbia never surrendered.
Peter I was a completely retired honorary king, and the politics of Serbia had been completely handed over to his son, Regent Alexander. Otherwise, he would not have come to the front line as a soldier with a rifle, let alone been captured by Prince Eter.
There was nothing he could do for Serbia, and there was nothing he could do for his son.
The only thing he could do.
Just don't become a burden to Serbia.
certainly.
The news of Peter I of Serbia's suicide could not be concealed, and Austria-Hungary had no intention of concealing it, as it would have made this already bloody and cruel war even more cruel.
There will be nothing.
After Peter I committed suicide.
The Austro-Hungarian Fifth Army held another combat meeting. The death of Peter I would naturally lead to a more fierce and crazy attack from Serbia.
And Austria-Hungary had to hold Belgrade.
Hilde demanded that General Potiorek of the Sixth Army must immediately reorganize the troops and then provide support to Belgrade.
If it was before.
Not to mention Hilde's orders to General Potiorek, Hilde was not even allowed to attend the Fifth Army's high-level combat meetings.
But now.
Everything is completely different.
The battlefield is a very pure place. Hilde's several military judgments were correct, which has proved Hilde's value. If the Fifth Army still does not listen to Hilde at this time, then what they need to wait for is the reckoning from Emperor Fritz Joseph I after the defeat.
as well as.
The 11th Army, led by General Mackensen, was sent to Serbia for support.
This news is fake.
Hilde did not have the ability to mobilize an army group of the German Empire. General Bachshanyi also thought that this false news was meaningless. The mobilization of a large army group could not be concealed at all. Serbia had the intelligence systems of Britain and France, so it was impossible to conceal it.
But that was enough, Hield was going to crush Serbia.
The Austro-Hungarian Fifth Army was already at the end of its strength.
Serbia too.
Hield wants Serbia.
Kneel down and surrender.
It is still raining in Serbia.
The rain has killed hundreds of thousands of people.
December 15, 1914.
General Oscar Potiorek, the Austro-Hungarian commander-in-chief of the southern front, once again gathered the remnants of the Sixth Army.
He had to launch a counterattack against western Serbia, even though it did not put much pressure on Serbia.
If we were to say who most hoped that the Fifth Army in Belgrade would be able to hold on during this period.
Then General Potiorek is the most hopeful.
This news has not yet spread back to the country.
It should be said that the news sent back to the country was that Serbia launched a counterattack and drove the Sixth Army back a distance. Belgrade was still in the hands of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. All this was just Serbia's dying counterattack.
certainly.
If Belgrade falls.
That means something completely different.
For General Potiorek personally, he will lose all his glory, everything he has, and he will become a shame to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He failed to protect his crown prince, and he also lost the glory of the empire in his revenge against Serbia.
He will lose the qualification to enter Valhalla, and his soul will wander in the world, never to rest in peace.
As long as Belgrade can hold on.
Let him pay any price.
As a man who extremely hates women, he can now beg for forgiveness from the German princess he hates the most, even if he has to kneel down and beg for forgiveness.
It wasn't just the commander-in-chief, General Potiorek, who had such thoughts.
Most officers think this way.
This war is not just a matter of losing a war, nor will they be demoted and have their careers ruined. They will also lose all their glory, their qualifications to enter Valhalla, and all their spiritual needs.
The people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not hate Serbia the most, but them.
They can't afford to lose anyway.
The Sixth Army's counterattack was indeed of little significance.
After the Serbian Second and Third Armies routed the Austro-Hungarian Sixth Army, the Second Army went to support the First Army in Belgrade, leaving the Third Army to defend against the Austro-Hungarian Sixth Army's renewed attack.
Theoretically, the combat effectiveness of the two armies is not much different.
This is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that Serbia left enough buffer space, and the areas from the Serbian border to Valjevo could be abandoned. However, due to such a cold winter and muddy roads, the railway transportation system had been destroyed.
Even if the regrouped Sixth Army really attacked Valjevo, what would be the point?
Their logistical supplies could not keep up.
Their heavy artillery could not be delivered to the front.
As long as Belgrade falls, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will completely collapse, and Serbia's second and third groups
The army will be able to turn back to deal with the Austro-Hungarian Sixth Army again, with no other option but to repeat its defeat.
significance.
But the Austro-Hungarian Sixth Army still had to attack.
They had to tell the people of Austria-Hungary that they had not lost, they had to tell the Fifth Group in Belgrade
Army, as long as we hold on to everything, there is still hope.
It can be said that there is nothing else except spiritual comfort.
The siege of Belgrade has been going on for a week.
The Serbian army's frenzied offensive showed no sign of slowing down.
They can't stop.
Once stopped.
Serbian army's offensive would collapse in an instant, and their months of resistance and efforts would be in vain.
Once stopped.
so.
They must retake Belgrade at all costs.
But it was just as Hilde expected.
The Serbian army had been fighting continuously for half a month, from the counterattack against the Austro-Hungarian Sixth Army on December 2 to the immediate counterattack against Belgrade's Fifth Army on December 8.
Even though the Austro-Hungarian army had been compressed into the inner city.
But still couldn't take it down.
Their army is almost at its limit and may collapse at any time.
Bad news comes one after another.
The Austro-Hungarian Sixth Army had regrouped and launched a counterattack, and the German Eleventh Army began to rush towards Belgrade. Everything was heading for the worst.
Maybe.
The German princess was sitting on the throne in the Belgrade Palace, watching them. She was dying.
