"Major General Grim, our attack does not seem to be successful. Although the Germans suffered heavy losses, they still blocked our strongest offensive. If we want to launch a more fierce offensive, we may have to wait until other troops are in place." A staff member used a putt to introduce the current situation to Major General Grim, the commander of the British 7th Armored Division.

"However, time is not on our side, and the Japanese can no longer stop it. They almost lost more than 80% of armored units and more than 60% of artillery. The only thing they have improved during this period is their escape speed. It can be expected that the main force of the German army will definitely turn their heads and attack us. Haha, maybe in the next battle, we will be attacked by our own naval guns." Another officer said angrily.

"Turn into the defense, we will not have any results when we continue to attack." Major General Grim's brief but powerful response surprised everyone.

"The Germans cut off our ties with other parts of Greece, and we are now alone!" said an officer incredible.

"After all, we have maritime channels. German bombers cannot cut off maritime transportation channels. Moreover, the Bavarian legion is limited in size. It is unlikely that they will launch an attack from Turkey and Macedonia at the same time, eating up nearly 100,000 elite troops at one time. This is at most a tentative attack and disrupting our deployment and weakening our strength. In this case, defense is naturally better than the offensive situation." Major General Grim said.

Grim had already realized the German tactics, but it was a bit late now. A Japanese armored division had been lame... However, the 7th Armored Division was also hit and bloodied after three attacks. Now the British have accepted the "truth" that he would definitely suffer losses when fighting with the Germans. If the front line is wide, defense may not save troops than attack, but if it is this narrow terrain and the opponent has no detour space, then defense is naturally a better situation! It is also the best way to reduce losses!

"According to the frontline war reports, the Germans seemed to have used a new type of combat chariot, which was stronger than the previous crickets and hornets. The Japanese telegram claimed that all artillery above 18 pounds can not penetrate this German tank head-on, and they pose a great threat to our defense line," said an officer.

"Our tanks should be replaced, at least the artillery needs to be replaced. At least a 12-pound cannon or a 15-pound cannon. Of course, it is best to be an 18-pound cannon." Another officer said.

"Haha, this is not something we can do. In the next few months, everyone should use the weapons in their hands. Of course, I will make a request to the Navy, hoping that they can provide us with some naval guns." Major General Grim also expressed helplessness in this regard. The 18-pound gun is indeed very good, and the output is relatively high, but the consumption is also large. As a front-line gun, it is easy to be countered by the opponent. Therefore, it may be a problem to allocate a large number of 18-pound guns from the country or the Western Front in a short time, but naval guns can be sourced locally. Moreover, because the initial speed of the naval gun is higher, even the power of the 12-pound gun and 14-pound gun may not be worse than that of the 18-pound gun!

(The British Army has 12-pound guns, 15-pound guns and 18-pound guns, while the British Navy has only 12-pound guns and 14-pound guns, and the latter has a higher velocity. For example, the British 15-pound guns' initial velocity is 500 meters per second, while the British Navy's initial velocity is 777 meters per second. In terms of armor-piercing power, the latter is much higher.)

Of course, I just thought about these things. I don’t know whether the application is passed or not. I don’t know when the goods will arrive. I should rely on the things at hand to hold on!

The British were still very quick to move. They immediately concentrated the artillery units of the ANZI Legion to the front line through railways and highways, and at the same time began to try to expand the depth of the defense line, hoping to rely on it to consume the opponent. At the same time, the remaining armored troops were concentrated as the general reserve team so that they could launch a sharp counterattack when necessary. Generally speaking, from a tactical perspective, the British had also experienced some routines of armored warfare. Of course, in some relatively narrow areas, the offensive party had no right to choose a direction. As long as the defense party continued to increase the depth, they could always gain a certain advantage. This worked anywhere!

However, just when the subtropical depression of anxiety, helplessness and fear were filled with the British command, the Germans were in a state of great momentum! After Eric and Baron Merlin, who were marching eastward with the power of victory, they really wanted to break through the British position!

"With these heavy artillery and ammunition seized from the Japanese, our firepower has also increased to a certain extent. The Air Force has promised us that we can control air supremacy, so that everything on the ground will be left to us to handle. From the current point of view, we can concentrate more than 250 various tanks and armored vehicles to launch a wave of assaults." Lieutenant General Eric said ambitiously to his subordinates.

"When will we launch an attack?" asked a subordinate.

"The tentative attack will start tomorrow morning and the general attack will be launched the day after tomorrow! In addition, we need to strengthen logistics supply, and we need to replenish some ammunition and oil. At the same time, we transport the damaged tanks and vehicles back to the rear, especially those precious wolf tanks. The cost of a wolf tank is equal to two cricket tanks, and this is our big killer weapon and must not fall into the hands of the British. Even if it cannot be towed, it must be completely destroyed!" Lieutenant General Eric said.

In short, the British must not be allowed to strengthen their positions peacefully. After all, the British have a huge advantage in terms of equipment quantity and military strength. If they have enough time to deploy positions, it would be troublesome to simply add a few minefields.

Although Lieutenant General Eric is very confident in his troops, he is also responsible. This attack is just a test, not a killing with one sword. In fact, it cannot be done. The peak of victory is to seek a fairly acceptable exchange ratio. Otherwise, if he really rushed in without paying much money, once the armored force is severely damaged and the British are given enough time to mobilize troops, it will be a troublesome to get out!

So this battle, known as Macedonia in Greece, entered the second stage. In this stage, the strongest attack spear of the Allies and the strongest defensive forces of the Allies are about to launch a battle. At present, the German legion can still form at least two fully equipped armored divisions. The British book can form three armored divisions and a large number of infantry units, and the collision between the two sides is about to break out!
