The Rise of the Empire

"Look at the time, they can still come for the third time today." Little Maoqi glanced at his pocket watch and said expressionlessly. Although he tried his best to suppress the worry and panic in his heart, he knew very well that he was a little confused now. It’s too small. The so-called plan cannot keep up with changes. This happens a lot, and there are also many times when the other party's actions are unexpected. However, after completely subverting the original plan, the passive party will definitely fall into confusion, and this confusion will definitely lead to very serious consequences. For example, in the historical Battle of Kiev, the Soviets were well prepared to fight the enemy in Moscow. At that time, who would have thought that the Central Group and the Southern Group would suddenly encircle Kiev? Then the 600,000-strong army died...

"I think our original plan can no longer adapt to the current situation. We need to change." Little Maoqi said very firmly. The entire exercise lasted for 7 days! If it explodes three times a day, it means 21 times a week! Little Maoqi can be sure that even if the Bavarian Army does not launch an attack, if he simply bombs them for a week, his logistics and heavy equipment will be completely lost! Then the Prussian side will naturally lose. The 30,000 Prussian troops were lost in this way... It can't be justified in terms of dignity or face. If the Kaiser is unhappy, his position as chief of general staff will have to be replaced, right?

As for the issue of air defense and cover, do you really think that putting a machine gun in one place can provide air defense? Have you watched too many TV series? Didn’t you see how many anti-aircraft guns the battleship Dahe had to shoot down a few planes? The Prince of Wales and the counterattack were tortured to death, and the Japanese did not see many planes dropped. And hidden? This thing is indeed somewhat useful, but there are too many targets to choose from, and when caught off guard, it is too late whether it is material transfer or disguise. Of course, the biggest problem is that Prussia cannot accept failure, at least not the failure of being unilaterally slaughtered like this.

"While we still have the strength, take the initiative to attack. Prepare tonight to push the troops and supporting firepower to the first line of defense, and then launch the attack at dawn tomorrow." Mackensen said, since you can't defend, then attack, Ma Kenson concluded that the Bavarian Army would definitely adopt a more conservative approach in this case. After all, the Prussian Army had a numerical advantage in the ground battle. Since it could easily win, why take the risk? It's not really a fight, it's just to find a winner.

"The average distance between our first and second lines of defense is 2 kilometers. The infantry has no problem in the past, and heavy equipment can also be towed and transported. The defensive situation adopted by the Bavarian Army is also the layout of cordon plus main position, so the first line The defense line is easy to break through, so leave it to me. After my troops capture the first cordon, they will launch a probing attack on the main position of the Bavarian Army, and then General Mackensen will choose the breakthrough point for the mobile corps." Hinden Fort said.

"What if the other side launches a counterattack?" Little Maoqi asked.

"That would be the best case scenario." Hindenburg smiled. "If we want to fully break through the opponent's main position, it will be very difficult. Their second line of defense is also relatively narrow. So if they take the initiative to attack, we can find their attack direction, and then cooperate with General Mackensen's mobile corps to attack It’s a complete interruption, and in this case, we can at least have a draw.”

"If the opponent does not counterattack, at least we can suppress the opponent in terms of situation. Our battle losses are relatively large, but they retreat, which can be considered a tie. Of course, it is too early to say this now. Today It’s the first day and it’s hard to say what will happen on the battlefield,” Mackenson said.

"Okay, I will do my best to support you,

So how to choose the time to attack? If the attack occurs relatively later, we will have longer preparation time at night, the soldiers will have more rest time, and the opponent's reaction time will be shorter the next day. "Little Maoqi suggested.

"It's better to attack at dawn. If they choose to attack on the third day, our main force will be very passive if they are spread out on too wide a front. I hope they can launch a hasty counterattack. Ruprecht's troops are a system, and we can't Let the system be fully operational before fighting it!" Mackensen insisted.

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, Ruprecht was also evaluating today's results with his colleagues. Today's results were pretty good. The second wave of Prussians learned wisely and began to hide some of their artillery, so they only killed them. 2 artillery batteries, but the logistics supplies and a large number of cars did not escape. Some people were smart and drove their trucks into a small forest to try to avoid the attack. As a result, several Black Hawks dropped a few incendiary bombs on the outside of the forest. , the truck that escaped into the woods came out obediently, and was then judged to be destroyed. There was no way, a small patch of woods was not enough to burn 1 ton of napalm...

"The effect is very good. If there are no surprises, Moltke will definitely take the initiative to attack on the third day at the latest." Prince Ruprecht said after looking at the opponent's loss table today.

"Then it seems we need to strengthen our defense." Schmidt said. He emphasized stability in his work, so he did not recommend a counterattack.

"It doesn't matter whether they can lay down the first line of defense or whether they continue to attack or defend and counterattack," the prince said with a smile. "We just need to charge! Break through their defense line and keep attacking from the rear!"

"Don't worry about their mobile troops. Their so-called defensive power will only be reflected when they concentrate their forces on the second line of defense. If their main line of defense is the 14-kilometer-long warning line of defense, we can easily Even if we break through, let alone, they will continue to move forward and attack our defense line."

"From the beginning to the end, I only considered one situation, and that was how to break through the Prussians after shrinking the defense line. I am not afraid of the other situations, whether it is offense, defense or outflanking! We are a system, an air-ground coordinated operation. The power of our system can completely crush the opponent's outdated tactics."

"But they also have a fast corps, which is also composed of armored forces, cavalry and towed artillery. It's better for us to be more stable."

"No, no, no, just kill them in one round. Waiting and hesitation will give the opponent time to prepare. As long as they occupy our warning position, and after the aerial reconnaissance force has figured out the opponent's general situation, they will immediately launch a counterattack." Rupprecht insisted.

"Do everything as I said. If something goes wrong, I will be there." The prince put his hands on the table and leaned forward slightly, making the final decision.
