Chapter 1595: Turn southeast one

Chapter 1595 Turning to the southeast (1)

"Earl Schmidt has lived up to his trust. He has led the Bavarian Advance Corps to defeat the French Northern Front, and the Southern Front has also been hit to a certain extent. Relying on the remaining vehicles and the troops we continue to support, at least defend the rear of Bursa. There is nothing wrong with the road, and if nothing happens, the situation on the northern line should be stable!" Calypte said while sending the front line telegram to Rupresit's desk.

"Yes, it's stabilized for the time being. Although the main force of the French army under the command of Xiafei from the south still exists, there is little hope of breaking Bilecik. So, if I am French, what should I do next? What?" said Rupresit, tapping his fingers on the table.

"In fact, no matter what the French do, the result is not important. Our troops in Eastern Ukraine have already been gathered. They will soon be able to cross the Black Sea into Asia Minor. Our ground forces will soon surpass the French and the air force. Ha. General Lehr’s air force has gradually shifted to the front-line airport. The French offensive on the northern line may eventually stop under Bursa. It is impossible for them to see the Hagia Sophia.” Calypte said.

"However, there is the British army to the south. In fact, before our main force actually arrives, the French still have about ten days to play. Then if I were Xiafei, what would I do?" Rupresi Te's eyes moved on the huge sand table in the middle of the house, and gradually moved from Bursa to Eskisehir! And here, it is the front line of the confrontation between the British and Turkish forces on the southern front. The British were well-equipped and well-trained, while Turkey relied on fortifications and city defenses, and relied on the railway line behind to continuously transport reinforcements. Even Kemal's troops began to move westward from Ankara! Both parties can do nothing in a short time.

"There may be a problem in the south." The prince remembered one of the second battles in history!

However, just as the prince saw the report of Earl Schmidt, Xiafei also saw the telegram from Major General Daville. Looking at the above losses, Xiafei was already calm, because since he was attacked two days ago, he has lowered his expectations for this armored assault by several levels.

"It really can't be beaten. It seems that we can only focus on defense in the future." Xia Fei shook his head helplessly and said the truth. The Germans began to be equipped with organic tanks 6 years ago and studied related tactics. Although the French equipped armored vehicles earlier, they have always used these as a supplement to the infantry. The same thing is viewed from different angles and the results are naturally different, and now? If you want to make up a lesson, it's too late! Let alone the corresponding commander, there are not many experienced armored personnel at the grassroots level, because most of them have become cannon fodder in the fierce war of attrition. The French's latest attempt to defeat the Bavarian armored forces on the frontal battlefield was shattered before reality!

"Bilecik may not be able to take it off." Xia Fei touched his nose and said with a slight regret. Although Major General Daville repeatedly emphasized in the telegram that there are not many German tanks, look at the city. On the railway line behind, Xiafei no longer had any hope of her actions. The blunt soldiers are under Jiancheng. The other party can get a steady stream of supplies, which is hopeless no matter how you look at it. Throughout the history of so many battles. As long as the defender can get foreign aid in a siege, 80% of them cannot lose... Xiafei also understands this truth!

"No, you can't just go back like this." However, Xia Fei is absolutely unwilling to return to the front line in such a dingy manner. The so-called face, commander's prestige and everything are imaginary. As a French army, it is strategically reliable. The commander of Xia Fei knows very well that in the coming period is the last chance for the Allied Powers to turn the tide of war! Otherwise, once the Bavarian Army turns from the Eastern Front to Asia Minor, even deploying two army groups here will not be enough for others to fight!

"The only thing we can do now is to fight the Turks as much as possible and cause erosions in their core areas. Only in this way can we disperse the elite Bavarian Legion, and then regain the initiative when the opponent is struggling to deal with it!" Xiafei wrote in his war diary.

What is the initiative of war? This thing is a little fictitious, but it is something people can feel. Apply a famous RTS game from later generations, such as Warcraft 3. 2 humans and 2 orcs. Before Little Y came out, the Humans used the tavern to quickly leave the Beastmaster to demolish the buildings at the orcs' homes. This is the initiative. It's about delaying the other party's technology. This is the initiative, regardless of the momentary gains and losses, the key lies in the impact on the entire battle.

In the same way, when the small Y reaches 3, and the second hero of the human race has not reached 3, the orcs have a strategic advantage, because at this time the orcs have reasonable arms and their supply capabilities are very strong. A wave of time.

But what if it is applied to the current situation? The French's offensive cannot achieve their first goal, and there is no point in going on, which means the loss of strategic initiative. Because even if you can break Sarbu? The Bavarian Legion can certainly deploy its troops before the French army approaches Istanbul. The French certainly couldn't beat it at that time. It is meaningless to care about this but the French army has not completely lost the initiative at the same time. The fundamental reason is that there are still variables on the southern route! Because the southern line is too far from the landing point of the Bavarian Army. Before the Bavarian Army arrived, the Allied forces also had a chance to achieve their second goal, which was to interrupt the 3B railway!

Although there is still a long way to go from Eskisehir to Ankara, the Turkish Empire is no more than the major European countries participating in the war, with millions of troops. Turkey's population industry determines that his troops are "non-renewable" resources. Not to mention that hundreds of thousands of people were killed in World War I. Even the loss of 100,000 is an unbearable loss for the Turks, and now, the main force of Turkey has been concentrated near Eskisehir! If you can remove this place and annihilate the Turkish army, then the rest of the journey to Ankara will become a smooth journey!

As for the obstacles along the way? In fact, it does not exist. In Asia Minor, the strength of both sides is even lower than that of the Eastern Front. The two sides did not even form a continuous front across the north and south! In this case, Xiafei believes that logistical issues may be more troublesome than the Turks’ interception...
