"The goal we chose was to launch an attack in the northeastern Greece. The east-west front line here is very long, and the north-south depth is very short. We can easily break through the opponent's defense line. Although most of the terrain of the entire Greek Peninsula is mainly mountains and hills, we can still find some relatively wide river valleys to march here. When we go to the coastal areas of Greece, most of the here is plain terrain, which is very convenient for the movement of our armored forces. If we were not considering the close to the seaside and the powerful naval firepower advantages of the Allied Power, we could launch a tough attack on cities and transportation hubs, and even control the entire area."

"Of course, if the Air Force is willing to cooperate and ensure that we are not bombarded by the British Navy, we can consider changing the short-term assault to occupation," said Caripot.

"No need. It's not that time yet. Don't scare our British friends. We just need to attack repeatedly and consume our opponents. Of course, the Air Force will help you suppress the former dreadnoughtsman of the British Navy." Ruprecht said.

"This time, the British and Japanese concentrated a large number of troops in the northeastern Greece, including four armored units. From west to east, the first is the Japanese armored division, which is deployed in the western part of the central Macedonian region of Greece. It is said to be called the Fukuoka Division. It is equipped with Britain and France, but the scale of the organization is relatively large, and it is said to have 25,000 people. The specific vehicle situation is not clear. However, according to the current situation, the number of tanks should be more than the two French armored brigades." Kariput did not continue to worry about whether to be short-term assault or permanent occupation, but began to introduce the Allied forces in this area.

There are more than two armored brigades? That is to say, there are about 200 tanks and armored vehicles of various types?" Earl Schmidt said somewhat surprised.

"Theory is this. After all, this is the only armored division in Japan. There are indeed quite a lot of more than 200 tanks and tanks in terms of number, but it is hard to say how many of the heavy tanks are. And I think this organization is still a bit too large for Japan. It is like a child trying to wield a heavy two-handed sword." Kariput did not hide the contempt in his words at all.

The armored troops do need to be concentrated before they can have the power of destruction, but the premise is that you can control this powerful force and see how the Bavarian Army got it? They started with 45 tanks in the initial tank battalion, but after the year, they gradually became a reinforced battalion. One battalion has 70 tanks and assault guns, and then to an armored division with about 3 ordinary battalions. If you include various reserves, it is close to the 200 mark. The process of the Allies is basically like this. At present, there are about 130 tanks in a panic division in France and Britain. The Japanese did not accumulate at all before the First World War. After the First World War, can you play with such a large organization? Anyway, Kariput believes that the organization and combat effectiveness of the Japanese army are very problematic.

"Then next to the Japanese Fukuoka Division is the British Seventh Armored Division. This unit was established before the war and had a good record on the Western Front. It has under its jurisdiction. It has two of them are heavy armored battalions equipped with MK1 tanks. The British called this tank an infantry tank, and the other battalion is equipped with a small vagrant light tank, which is only equipped with a 37mm machine gun and two machine guns." Kariput said.

"The British MK1 tank is still a 57mm gun? (6-pound gun)" asked the prince.

"That's right. The 57mm gun is absolutely enough on the Western Front, stronger than our cricket tanks. For the hornets, there are 75mm guns from the French to deal with them. In addition, the British Seventh Armored Division is equipped with some 18-pound rapid-fire guns, and they prefer to use these things to anti-tanks. Of course, this MK1 tank has been improved to the D type, and the engine's stability has been greatly improved and the speed has been greatly improved. The off-road speed has been increased from at least 4 kilometers per hour to about 7 kilometers." Kariput said.

"If you go east, it is a British preparatory armored division, which was expanded by the 5th Armored Brigade. This army has just been established, and there are only two or two armored battalions. The light tank battalion equipped with small vagrants is fully equipped. Another heavy tank battalion seems to be lacking in a lot. In short, the combat effectiveness is very poor, but because of their position, we may not be able to defeat them at the first time."

"The easternmost force, that is, the Allies preparing to fight the first wave, was the British colonial force, the Fifth Australian Division. Although the Australians had never been in contact with armored warfare before, after the war, the British quickly strengthened the ANZE and incorporated some British local armored forces into it. Therefore, although this force is a division, it has an over-organized force. We conservatively estimate that there are at least two armored battalions, and there are a large number of 12-pound cannons and 18-pound cannons. Therefore, if the defense war is very fierce, but if it is an offensive war, it is estimated that there is still a certain gap with the British Seventh Armored Division." Kariput said.

"We chose to attack from the Central Macedonian region, attacking the Japanese Fukuoka Division and the British Seventh Armored Division respectively. At the same time, we were strategically threatened Thessaloniki to mobilize more British and Japanese troops into this area, and then were forced to fight with us in the field. Although Greece had been close to the Allies for a long time, a large number of Allied troops had just entered and had no chance to deploy a complete trench system. Therefore, the field battle in the plains was very good for us."

"In order to ensure that this battle can consume the opponent well, we specially concentrated an armored division and a rapid division. The armored division is responsible for dealing with the Japanese Fukuoka Division and the opponents reinforced from Greece, while the rapid division deals with the British Seventh Armored Division. The number of armored troops is about 5 battalions, which is about 330 tanks. More than 80 of them are our latest wolf tanks. The exchange ratio should be very good." Baron Schmidt, who was responsible for this attack, said.

"What if the British mobilized reinforcements from southern and northern Greece? Their ordinary divisions also had armored units." Lieutenant General Hall, who served as chief of staff, asked.

"It doesn't matter. Their troops cannot expand. After all, the terrain is still a bit narrow. It is the limit to deploy two armored divisions on one attack surface, but our mass has an absolute advantage." Earl Schmidt said.

"But I want to remind you that this time, we don't have so many aircraft to provide air support, and maybe you have to solve the air defense problem yourself." Although the prince is very confident about the equipment of the Bavarian Legion, after all, this time it is a fight with the British, so it is not an exaggeration to be careful.

"It's okay, your highness, we have also made all kinds of responses." Earl Schmidt said bowing.
