Chapter 1083 Decision
Chapter 1083 Choice
"Are we going to face two infantry divisions?" At this time, as the commander of the Bavarian 10th Rapid Division that resisted the first wave of Russian attacks, Major General Mike looked at the trajectory of the troops on both sides on the map and fell into deep thought. In fact, the Russians did not have a definite target for this attack at all, because they have been advancing at a constant speed since the launch of the attack. The route they took is almost the most convenient and direct, and the speed is neither fast nor slow. In this state, It's hard to say what their goals were.
Logically speaking, it is understandable for the other side to do this. Now that the German army is advancing as a whole, the main purpose of the Russians is actually that as long as they can delay the German army, or even lose both sides, it is acceptable for both sides to enter a defensive state. In order to achieve For this purpose, it is certainly possible to fight the German army head-on. But if you let the main force of the German army pass and then insert a knife in the back, you can achieve the same goal. This style of fighting is very similar to two people fighting. One person hits the other person's neck, and whether the latter blocks the opponent's fist or hits the opponent's weak spot, as long as the former retracts his fist, the latter's goal is achieved. . The Bavarian Legion's attack was certainly ruthless, and although the Russians were slower, they still had a chance to fight back!
"Is there also a strengthened rapid division with us?" Major General Mike thought for a while and asked. Major General Mike also came out of the war. At the beginning of the war, Mike was still a lieutenant colonel, but at that time, he Already commanded a fully mechanized assault battalion! Has a separate tank battalion and self-propelled artillery. After the war, the first shot was fired on the Eastern Front. Because of his outstanding performance, after the border battle, Mike became a colonel and was given the opportunity to command a reinforced armored battalion on the Western Front. After a bloody battle with the French on the Western Front, Mike's armored battalion lost nearly 40% of its vehicles and a quarter of its personnel and was forced to withdraw for rest.
In the following more than two months, Mike caught up with the expansion of the Bavarian Army. A number of new rapid divisions and assault divisions were built, and based on his armored battalion, the 10th Rapid Division was established. . Then we caught up with the battle. This was Mike's first battle after receiving the general star, and it was also the first battle after the establishment of the 10th Rapid Division, which was of great significance.
One division fights two elite Russian divisions. Well, even in Major General Mike's view, this is definitely a very challenging task, because the division is equipped with additional corps-level firepower. The two divisions will definitely be equipped with some 8-inch guns, and it is possible to provide additional train guns! If you stand against each other. I must be at a disadvantage, tanks are awesome. But the Russians' super-standard artillery equipment is not vegetarian.
"Can you handle it? Give me some words." Mackensen asked in the telegram.
"Oh no, how do I know? This seems to be evenly matched. Who knows if we can withstand this situation without fighting before?" Major General Mike was also quite depressed. After some deliberation, in the call back, he, known as Armored Mike, replied: "If the friendly forces on the flanks are willing to launch an attack with me, then even if the attack fails, we can at least get adjustments for the main force. time."
Ever since,
The ball was kicked back to Mackensen. In fact, Armored Mike planned to take the initiative, but there were only him and another division on the flank, one division up. No matter how powerful you are, you can't beat four of them. So if you want to go, just go with two divisions. Only in this way can you have a chance of winning. But this kind of decision was not his to make. Mackensen had to make arrangements. After all, if something went wrong, Mike couldn't afford it.
Mike's words are very clear. It's okay for me to defend, but it's too conservative. I plan to attack, but even if the attack doesn't go well, I can buy time for the troops to adjust. To be honest, if Mackensen gave up the advance at this time and turned his head to deal with the Russian army attacking from the flank, although he might suffer some losses in heavy artillery, he would have no problem defeating the division, but the original eight-point strategy would be ruined. As a result, a strategic victory and experiment came to nothing and was replaced by a tactical victory. This seems to be a pity for the German army, but it is also a guaranteed profit.
"Then let's go!" Mackenson was not a Moji person either. After weighing it for a while, he decided to let the flanker take the initiative. He was also tired of battles that were like cutting flesh with a dull knife. This was nothing to a behemoth like Russia, but Germany, which had a relatively weak family, could not afford it. He believed that if the Russian army could not be bloodletted several times quickly, the overall situation would become increasingly unfavorable, so instead of doing this, it was better to give it a try.
"Well, it seems that the bomb quota we assigned to the assault brigade was not used?" Mackensen turned to ask the staff.
"It's like this. The Russian front has been broken before the plane has arrived." The staff officer replied.
"These guys are not only short-legged rabbits, but also slow-running snails!" So Mackensen had more opinions on the Air Force. Somehow, Mackensen felt that the Air Force would become the same as the Army in the future. domestic enemy. Just like the Navy…. "Then let them support Major General Mike's 10th Rapid Division."
"Also, let me ask His Royal Highness when the new reinforcements will arrive. Hmm." Finally, Mackenson added. Therefore, the core focus now is whether the two fast divisions on their flanks can repel the Russian attack in the field. If they can repel or even temporarily prevent the opponent's attack, then things will be fine. By the time the second wave of Russian attacks arrived, their follow-up troops should also have arrived. At this time, the main force continued to pounce on Covelli. The follow-up troops can block the Russian Eighth Army, and a counterattack is possible when necessary!
In the afternoon of that day, the two fast divisions on the flanks of the main force turned around and formed a huge pliers that quickly rushed towards the attacking Russian troops. According to Mike's estimation, their troops marched for 8 hours and then rested for half a night. You can make contact with the Russians early in the morning! If the weather forecast is correct, the sky should be clear tomorrow, which is very suitable for armored assault and aerial bombing. It is a day suitable for a decisive battle!
"Let all troops prepare enough supplies. Once the war starts tomorrow, we cannot stop. Either we will overwhelm them, or we will be consumed by them!" Major General Mike pulled out his general's sword and wiped it. said.
