Chapter 1624： Attack Overture 2

Moreover, keeping the British and French troops in Asia Minor is also very helpful to the prince’s political layout. After all, as long as the British and French troops are not withdrawn, then this is still a front. Since it is a front, there must be troops to fight. Isn’t it just a matter of the prince’s words to draw troops here?

"If the Asia Minor War really ends, for some people, I am afraid that they will be unable to sleep because of the presence of 250,000 Bavarian troops?" The prince thought maliciously. For example, the German Social Democratic Party, which is acting secretly.

The first wave of the Bavarian Army’s offensive must fall on the French. In terms of combat effectiveness, the nine complete French divisions on the northern front are definitely the elite of the Allied Powers in the Asia Minor battlefield, if it is purely technical and equipment. The number is not much less than that of the Bavarian Legion, and if you simply value the number of guns, let alone anything else, just 30 artillery companies and 150 long-range cannons of 100mm or more are enough to make people feel terrifying.

The General Staff of the Bavarian Legion has estimated that if everyone stands in the right position, the troops that the Bavarian Legion can invest in are really not dominant! The German tanks are better, but their artillery advantage is too great. Although the German Air Force is strong, the 300 fighter jets on the opposite side are not vegetarian. At least in the early period after the start of the battle, air strikes will not be very effective.

"To deal with the French, you can only invest up to 150,000 troops. The rest are preparations and troops ready to respond to the direction of Ankara. Von Seckert's troops are already very tired, and they are definitely not good for offensive purposes. So now The situation is that the two sides fought a battle with roughly equal forces and roughly equal technical equipment.” The prince was thinking about the power gap between each other in his heart.

The mode of positional warfare is absolutely undesirable. The side with the advantage of long-range artillery has too much advantage in positional warfare. Moreover, the prince asked not only to defeat the French, but also to limit his own losses to a certain range. After all, the elite veterans in these troops and the accumulated technical equipment were hard-won, and for the Kingdom of Bavaria, it was absolutely It is the most precious military resource.

"For the French, 3 independent armored battalions and 2 armored divisions, plus 4 infantry divisions should be almost the same? The number of artillery should not be too many, but it must be very mobile so that the opponent can't catch it. The whole The troops must be in motion. Breakthrough and interspersed.” After carefully comparing the strengths and weaknesses of the two sides, the prince has already made a rough calculation. It can only be said that the battlefield here is relatively wide, and the French have not been in business for long. As long as they are more mobile, fighting a sports battle is the best choice. Of course, in order to be foolproof, the prince deployed an additional armored brigade and an infantry division as a reserve.

As for the British, the prince does not need to worry for the time being. After comparing the recent performance of the British army, the prince believes that the British expeditionary force has been weak after opening the west gate of Ankara. This is because of the front line. Combat consumption, after all, the British army faced the most elite troops in Turkey plus the German resistance of nearly one division. The hundreds of thousands of British troops are not all elite. Among them, the British first-line troops and the Anzac Army are indeed powerful, but nearly half of the colonial and second-line British troops have lowered the overall level of this force. In large cases, the British also need to rest.

With the further lengthening of the supply line, the British logistical pressure gradually increased. The Allied Powers only set Ankara as the second goal. The main heavy equipment and logistical vehicles were used to support the French army on the northern line so that they could quickly approach the monarch. Constantinople, but now it seems that after the Bavarian Legion blocked the French interspersion, the rapid capture of Constantinople has become very slim, so the Allies readjusted the distribution of materials and equipment, and attacked Ankara as The focus of the next offensive, and Ankara, after all, is a key fortified city. If you want to attack a fortress, artillery and ammunition must be sufficient, so the British also need to prepare. There is a vacuum in this preparation.

And Ruprecht caught this vacuum period! Prepare to launch an offensive against the French army first! And strive to hit the French army hard before the British really threaten Ankara, and then the Bavarian Army turned around to deal with the British army!

In order to ensure the efficiency of this operation, the prince rejected the plan proposed by the Turkish sultan to cooperate with the two sides to launch a counterattack. The prince at least asked Turkey to prepare supplies for the German army and ensure the smooth flow of logistics transportation lines. The prince does not agree with the combat effectiveness of most of the Turkish army. Their performance is at most similar to the previous Hungarian army. If it is other battles, the prince also said that they can cooperate, but in this case the strength of the two sides is equal, and the other Under the situation of grasping the firepower advantage, a little carelessness will cause danger, and the prince will naturally not cause trouble to himself.

However, just as the German army was formulating its combat plan methodically, a group of new guests came to the prince’s command. When he saw the black old man Pershing, who had served as the commander-in-chief of the "American Volunteer Army" in the Boer War in South Africa, standing in front of him When the time came, the prince was surprised. Wasn't this still in Brussels not long ago? Why did you come here all at once?

By the way, there is the guy behind the old black man. The prince can obviously feel limited familiarity but at the same time, he is sure that he has never seen this U.S. Army personnel. The prince has little communication with the U.S. Army this time, at most That is to say, I have met several times with US Army personnel during the Boer War. So who is this person who feels a little familiar?

"This is my staff, Major Marshall. He is the best staff in the entire U.S. Army. His future will surpass me." Seeing the prince's eyes on the younger brother behind him, the old black man quickly introduced Tao.

"Oh, Marshall, this buddy really surpassed you." No wonder, the prince is looking at Major Marshall at this time. This man played a huge role in the history of the second war and helped Europe to rebuild after the war. The rising man is just a mid-level officer at this time, but no matter what, a capable person can come out sooner or later, and now Marshall has some sharp points. It is definitely not easy to get praise from the old man.
