章 705: Chapter 278: Stop Loss

On November 27, 1880, the Prussian Army arrived in the Poznan region. After a brief rest, they launched an attack against the Eighth Russian Army the next day.

Harassed by Russian cavalry and airships, it took the Prussian Army less than eight days to travel from Warsaw to Poznan, a feat that demonstrated the essence of speed in warfare.

Anyone with even a little military knowledge knows that the larger the troop numbers, the greater the coordination difficulty and the slower the march velocity.

The Prussian Army's total strength amounted to 468,000. To complete an over 280-kilometer march in 8 days was a miracle in military history.

If organizational capacity was lacking, perhaps the frontline troops would have reached their destination while the rear was yet to set out.

After all, with so many people queuing up, one could form two lines from Poznan to Warsaw.
