Chapter 736: Northern Offensive

"It seems that the Russians still intend to break their wrists with us." Looking at the situation map of both sides just remarked on the sand table by the staff in front of him, Prince Ruprecht couldn't help laughing.

  From the perspective of the situation, the Russian Sixth Army is preparing to relieve the Fifth Army. The 7 main divisions and 3 border defense divisions have been assembled on standby. The latter is the regional defense force and temporarily joined the Sixth Army. Although they don't have much strength, they are said to have received heavy weapons from the border garrison, which can be considered strengthened.

  And the Bavarian side also completed the assembly. Three quick assault divisions were deployed to the front line, followed by three quick divisions and two ordinary divisions, including a Czech quick division. In line with the training team, the concept of enhancing combat effectiveness was added to the attack sequence.

   "Anything else to say about the battle plan?" the prince asked.

"Personally, it is enough to act according to the last plan. The Russian troops are not capable of resisting us. We can easily tear the gap and then divide and encircle. Visually, before the end of this war, Russia has no ability to resist. Stop us from advancing." Baron Schmidt said very easily.

   "If you just repeat the previous tactics, isn't that too boring?" The prince frowned slightly. "I'm going to change the gameplay. Maybe now our tactics can be invincible in the small frontal Poland. But when we invaded Ukraine and Belarus, the battle line between the two sides was thousands of kilometers wide, and the troops would be quite scattered, even if It penetrates a point and has very limited damage to the Russian army."

   "So, this time I plan to do an experiment to improve our tactics. Does anyone have an opinion?" Ruprecht asked.

"If it is only against the Russians, then the rapid division itself can also break through the opponent's defense line. We can completely increase the width of the attack and deploy two rapid divisions next to the three frontal assault divisions. In this way, our troops can be like The heavy hammer usually breaks the opponent’s defense in an instant.” Calypte said first, this time Calypte, who holds a heavy hand, did not perform well. While Schmidt is advancing, Calypte is nothing more than Finishing up at the back, it made him feel dissatisfied.

   "If it can easily break through, then the role of the assault division will be to penetrate deep into the opponent. For the enemy in the shallow position, directly hand it over to General Caliput." Schmidt said.

"Good idea. Replace the original one-point breakthrough tactics with multiple-point breakthroughs, relying on more breakthroughs and wider fronts to smash the opponent's defense line. This has the meaning of later generations to fight in depth." The prince said in his heart. .

  Of course it's just similar. In large-depth operations, the light battle echelon is divided into three, assault echelon, development echelon and reserve team. When the assault echelon breaks through the position, it is not eager to continue the assault but expands to both sides, and then develops echelon to attack in depth and besiege the opponent's main force. And kill the reinforcements. The reserve team is used to plug leaks, plus the air force and paratroopers. Form a frontal attack surface of tens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers.

  In order to adapt to the vast battlefield of the Eastern Front, a simple point assault must also be transformed into a multi-point assault. Of course, this is based on the fact that the opponent's army density is relatively low and the defense is not strong. If the opponent's equipment level and strength are the same as yours, then you should honestly concentrate your troops to fight a little...

The victory in the first phase of the battle greatly increased Prince Ruprecht’s confidence, so he decided to play a game this time to see if he could fix the situation of the Eastern Middle Road and North Road as soon as possible. After all, from the current situation Judging from the timetable, Germany is about to take the whole of Belgium, and will soon be at war with the French. The Kaiser and Little Mochi will probably transfer some of the elites of the Bavarian Army to the west. The prince didn't want to let the battle on his side be half-and-half.

As a result, after a re-planning, the formation of the troops was changed. Cariput’s two quick divisions and one assault division went to the front. In this way, there would be 6 whole divisions on the front line, and the second echelon. All are ordinary teachers. After the first echelon shattered the opponent's line of defense, the second echelon entered the battlefield to be responsible for dividing the encirclement and expanding the breakthrough. At the same time, in order to ensure the offensive speed of the troops, the Bavarian Army renewed a unified plan for the logistics and transportation forces. The vehicles that were allocated to the shallow offensive troops were drawn out to ensure that the troops attacking in depth can get sufficient supplies.

At the same time, the Bavarian Air Force was also organized. Considering that the Russian defensive capabilities are really poor, the support to the first-line troops will be placed in a secondary position, and the bombing of Russian targets in depth and transportation hubs will be the main task. In addition to the 4 bomber squadrons that transferred from Bohemia, in the combat plan code-named Black Lightning, the Bavarian Air Force has gathered 11 bomber squadrons, a total of 244 K-4 bombers!

"Such a large-scale offensive may cause more material consumption for us~www.wuxiaspot.com~ especially fuel resources. If we do not want to use reserves, our offensive should be postponed for 2 weeks." Sainzzhong, responsible for logistics Will report to Prince Ruprecht.

"Romania is still neutral now. We can still get fuel from Romania. Don't worry, follow the plan discussed in the meeting." Ruprecht thought for a while and said that Romania still chose neutral for the time being, so Germany Fuel can still be obtained relatively easily. There is no need to transport by rail and water from the Middle East. Therefore, the prince is not very worried about fuel reserves.

With absolute military advantage on the frontal battlefield, a well-prepared transportation and logistics system, and a steady flow of fuel supplies, Ruprecht is ready for the upcoming offensive. He thought of all the moves the Russians might take. The long-range artillery deployed in the base area may be a little troublesome, and the air force and mobile artillery are responsible. Could the two Russian armies to the north go south for reinforcements? It doesn't matter, the bomber units will bomb key transportation hubs. The southern front is being reinforced by the Russian army that is confronting Austria-Hungary? This is not a problem, they are too far away, and when they come over, the day lily will be cold.

  As for the positive Sixth Army? Hehe, a pinch is not enough, Ruprecht always feels that this battle is as stable as a dog. But the facts proved that the prince was still a little innocent, and there were some minor problems in the battle, but it was not caused by the opponent, but by his own!
