Chapter 621: Mission 2 of the Bavarian Army

"It depends on the situation. The speed of our troops in combat is about 35 kilometers to 40 kilometers per day, and this speed can be maintained for up to 4 days, which means we can penetrate 150 kilometers behind enemy lines. , And then the speed of the troops will decrease. Logistics supplies will also be more difficult, because although our vehicles give us a great advantage, but the consumption is huge, in the absence of railways, our attack has a limit!" Lu Precht thought for a while and said.

"Moreover, we should also pay attention to the fact that, according to our estimation, the Russian cavalry units can deploy at least 20 cavalry divisions on the front line. Although these cavalry have no heavy equipment, they win in their mobility and flexibility. For us, there is no threat. What we are afraid of is the attack on the logistics unit, so we may want to consolidate the front. And from my personal point of view, I do not want to attack east because our attack direction is parallel to the front direction, which is difficult. How many enemies to hold!"

"Yes, it makes sense. If we continue to advance eastward, we will form a long and narrow protrusion in the Russian Polish region. If our friendly forces cannot exert enough pressure on the Russians, then we may Facing the attack of the two fronts at the same time!" Prince Leopold said.

"So, after the first wave of offensive is over, we can't stop. After a short break, I suggest a quick assault group on the back and outflank the Russian Northwest Front from behind!" The long putter stroked the sand table. An arc is drawn, and the direction of the arrow points straight behind the two armies of the Russian Northwest Front!

"Compared with continuing to attack the Southwest Front, we have great conveniences for attacking the Northwest Front of Russia. First, the combat effectiveness of the group army remaining in Prussia is very impressive. In order to preserve the Prussian Longxing land, William will definitely keep the most powerful group army. Here. With an experienced veteran, it may be more difficult to counterattack the Russians, but blocking the opponent and firmly attracting them to the front is no problem at all."

"Second, the reason why I started to leave part of the reserve team is for the second stage of the attack. We can move to Silesia and use the convenient domestic transportation in Prussia to launch a roundabout offensive. In this case, our logistics pressure will be It is much smaller than continuing to attack the Southwest Front. And the starting position is very good, it can easily cut off the retreat of the Russian army."

"The third and most critical thing is that after we kill the Northwest Front Army, or just hit the Russian army hard, we can quickly level the front. This frees up more mobile forces for offensive purposes! Before we hit the Russian army hard, We are worried that the Russians will take the initiative to retreat and level the front to increase their defense, but if we can severely inflict the three Russian armies, then even if the front is leveled, their defense strength will not change much, but we can concentrate more. The mobile force is ready for the next stage of the battle!" said the prince.

"This plan is very tempting, and if the Russian Northwest Front Army really advances from the beginning, we still have great hopes that we can get the cooperation of the Kingdom of Prussia. Two first-class German armies will kill two Russian armies. This is not difficult. Especially when we are directly behind the opponent!" Prince Leopold first confirmed the feasibility of the battle.

  "But, what if after we hit the group army on the flank of the Russian Southwest Army, what if the Russian Northwest Front Army chooses to withdraw or go south? In that case, the target of their attack is us." Then, the prince asked his own question.

"First of all, the Russian railway line in northern Poland is radial, not a network, which means that it is difficult for them to mobilize troops in parallel on the front. If they want to rely on trains to maneuver, they must first go east and return. Going to a certain hub and then heading south will waste a lot of time. And if they choose to take the road, at the speed of the Russian army marching, this distance is enough for them to walk more than a week! This is still not intercepted by us in the case of."

"Let’s look at the East Prussian front again. If the Russians dared to move the troops of more than three divisions to the south, then the blank area of ​​the two Russian army groups would be even larger! As long as the generals of the East Prussian army stayed behind, they wouldn’t even have a little brain. Give up this great opportunity. Therefore, the Russians will never choose to head-on with us in a short time."

"The only thing to worry about is that the Russians choose to retreat by themselves, then level the front and increase the defense strength per unit length. This is a big problem for our next battle. Of course, such a retreat may be politically affected. Obstacles, but even if the possibility is small, we cannot take it lightly. Therefore, the second stage of the battle must be fast, and it is best to launch the second battle quickly and decisively when the first stage of the battle enters the end!" Lu Precht said.

"This, the supply pressure may be very, very high! And after continuous combat, our troops will consume too much. It may be a problem whether we can continue northward?" Did Prince Leopold wipe a cold sweat, even if he was also caught The prince’s crazy combat plan frightened ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, relying on the continuous offensive of the 2 army groups, in a short period of time, severely inflicted and even surrounded 2 or 3 Russian army groups.

"Food supplies can depend on seizures. The Russians know that their transportation capacity is limited, so they would rather build warehouses on the front lines before the war. We only need to occupy these. As for the weakening of the combat effectiveness of the troops, this is unavoidable. , But we can let the troops stationed in East Prussia cooperate with our operations. This person must be friendly to us and have considerable ability." The prince said. In fact, with the addition of cross-generation assault guns and aircraft, the prince believed that it would not be difficult to deal with the Russian army, which is almost at the bottom of the equipment. He said this only to take care of the Prince's emotions.

"There are only a few people who have the ability to control the group army. You are in charge of the Bavarian army. The crown prince will also lead an army. During the war in Württemberg, it may form a army with other armies, and then the Duke of Württemberg will take the command. Plan out a veteran like Kruger..." The prince began to calculate.

   "In fact, Mackensen is very good. He is experienced and good at maneuvering operations. If he can serve as the commander of the East Prussian Army left behind, it will be good news for us." The prince said.

  "This is a big plan, but the prospects are indeed very attractive. It is worth planning. Mackenson is also good. He has a level and has a good relationship with us." Prince Leopold agreed with the prince.
