Chapter 2043: Final adjustment

Naturally, the movement of the French could not hide the eyes and ears of the Germans. Even though the Allies had tried their best to hide their strategic intentions, hundreds of thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of horses, and a large number of vehicles and equipment were still on the ground. With the indelible traces, the Luftwaffe could easily find the trajectory of the French army during the day of the next day. The sudden increase in radio communications in the sky also directly exposed the French army's attempts.

　　 "The French are going to fight." In the front-line headquarters, Admiral Crook summed up the current situation in a very brief sentence.

"I never imagined that the war against the French would end in a large-scale field battle. We fought in trenches on the Western Front for two years. The field battle was just the beginning of the war." Admiral House exclaimed, "Britain. The people and the French have adopted a intensive defense posture. If they wait until they concentrate the forces of at least two group armies on a battle line of less than 60 kilometers, it may be difficult for us to break through. The forces are too dense, they are simply human It is very laborious even if it is bombed by the air force. After all, the bombs of the air force have far less penetration than thousands of artillery pieces."

Obviously, Admiral House also realized that when the German army advances to a certain position, it will lose the most important firepower to aid thousands of artillery that cannot move easily. Although the German army has restrained its attack speed, a large number of artillery and The delivery of ammunition is still very difficult.

　　 "The French's military strength is limited, and their transport capacity is even more limited." Crown Prince Ruprecht said something that seemed to have little to do with the previous battle. "According to our intelligence, the French have concentrated more than 700,000 troops. Counting the troops that were previously lost on defensive positions, the French have already concentrated at least 900,000 troops. So good, now the problem is coming. They How did you gather so many troops here?"

"The troops in the distance can't be transferred anymore. It's too late. They probably don't even have enough wagons to transport." Calypte put down the documents in his hand and said: "You mean, the French have all the troops on the nearby front. Exhausted?"

　　 "It can only be so! The French gathered a fist, but at the same time revealed his own weakness! We can now easily break through the flanks and then plunge straight into the French!" Ruprecht said.

　　 "Give us three more days. After our front legion is fully deployed, it can attack at the same time as the fast legion on the flanks." Admiral Schmidt said.

"No, the flanking regiment we left in advance will launch an offensive in the early morning of the day after tomorrow! We can't wait for the French to be ready! They have too many frontal forces. Once the preparations are completed, we will be under tremendous pressure from the front, so we must take the initiative to break the game! Said Crown Prince Ruprecht.

If before, Crown Prince Ruprecht relied on technical equipment advantages and tactical system advantages to crush opponents in most of the battles, then this time, the crown prince is really using intuition and judgment in a decisive battle. Won the favor of the goddess of victory!

　　 This time Ruprecht found the time very good! To put it simply, the time for his offense belongs to the French who has almost completed the charge, but has not finally completed it! There is only one day! If it is one day late, the first wave of offensives of more than 500,000 troops from the British and French allied forces will hit the Germans on the front. At this time, the German army will bear tremendous pressure, and the French army will complete the final deployment on the flanks! In the case of huge frontal pressure, it is also difficult to break through from the side, not to mention that the materials and equipment originally used for the side breakthrough may have to be transferred to the front! after all. The French chose when the Germans were most vulnerable!

　　 But it's different now! The frontal formation of the French army has not been fully deployed, and there are huge gaps in the flanking troops! In addition, the French army that was originally on the line of defense has been heavily mobilized! Many French troops are still on the march, so good. Now the problem is here. What would happen if the elite German armored units launched a surprise attack at this time?

Although the stability of tanks in this era is still not bad, the mobility is also very bad, the so-called armored divisions and rapid divisions are equipped with not many vehicles, but, no matter what, the flanking assault group formed by the elite Bavarian Army can still Achieve more than 15 kilometers in an hour! Does it feel slow? Not bad brother! We must know that the overall marching speed of the first-class army units of the European fully armed division on the road in a day is 15 to 25 kilometers! To be honest, being able to exceed 20 kilometers is not easy!

　　 So, for the Bavarian Legion, they don't even need a day to open the crude defense line of the French army and they can bypass the French army in a few hours! And this time, the Germans concentrated the forces of 5 divisions! This is the 5 most elite Bavarian armored divisions and fast divisions with full staff! The force reached 120,000! Maybe the number is not too much, but the combat effectiveness is too strong! And now, when there is no pressure on the front, the German army has sufficient supplies and equipment to support this flank interspersed operation! Including more than 1,000 various aircraft!

"It would be best if you can directly insert it into the depth of the French army~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even if you encounter resistance, you must destroy the deployment of the French army as much as possible. The longer you delay, the better for us. "Before General Schmidt was about to command the rapid army to launch an offensive, Crown Prince Ruprecht also sent a special telegram, asking him to try his best to secure himself for three days. Because after this period of time, a large number of German artillery will be redeployed in place, and at this time the German army is the real stable victory, whether it is offensive and defensive is easy to do.

In the last two days, the Germans made the final preparations for this assault group code-named Gustav. At least more than 300 various engineering vehicles and more than 5,000 engineers and logistics units are the battle group. The troops of up to 5 divisions paved a higher-level road from the German position to the starting position of the battle. At the same time, in order to ensure the supply of offensive materials, the German headquarters also assigned about 1,500 additional 1.5-ton to 3.5-ton trucks for the battle assault group. In order to ensure the subsequent continuous strike capability, Ruprecht added three additional infantry divisions to the battle reserve team of the assault group, which can provide support to the frontline troops when necessary.

　　 In terms of the air force, Admiral Harrell also stated that there will be no British bombers within the sight of the commando. At the same time, the admiral also promised to provide at least 1,200 sorties of aviation support every day! And when the assault group of the Battle of Gustav entered the starting area to launch an offensive, the number one enemy of the battle group, the four French divisions at the forefront of the flanks, were still on the march. They knew nothing about their situation!
