Chapter 1623 Attack Prelude 1

The war situation in the second half of 1913 was a sharp turn. The Russians' Polushinov offensive was a blazing momentum in the early stage and hit Hungary with a clean and neat momentum. However, it was useless. On the contrary, the Russians exhausted his last little strength on the fronts of Belarus and Ukraine. Russia was already declining, and the whole world was considering the situation after the Russians were finished.

The prince is no exception. He has too many things to do this winter this year and it is too important. However, now, in the autumn of this year, before everything is ready to showdown, he has one important thing to do, that is, to solve the British and French coalition forces in Asia Minor.

"Your Highness, by 6 p.m. yesterday, the Bavarian and Bohemian Legions had drawn 6 rapid divisions and 8 ordinary infantry divisions from the Eastern Front and the local area, as well as at least 5 independent tank battalions, as well as heavy artillery mismatches and supply units. The Air Force currently has 8 registrars on the battlefield in Asia Minor, with a total of nearly 920 aircraft of various types."

"The number of tanks, assault guns and protective self-propelled artillery deployed on the entire Asia Minor front has reached 800. The number of various body-barrier artillery has reached 1,400. The total number of troops is 250,000. The entire troops have been prepared and can be put into the battlefield at any time." Lieutenant General Raul, who replaced Earl Kariput as the Prince's Chief of Staff, reported.

"What about our enemies?" the prince asked as he looked at the huge sand table.

"From the current situation, the situation on the northern line of Asia Minor is quite stable. After Xia Fei commanded his armored troops to support the British, the remaining French troops were still blocked in Bursa. However, the situation was not ideal. General Von Seckett's troops had been fighting hard for three weeks, and the troops suffered heavy losses. The third wave of reinforcements from the French had arrived, and they might be making final preparations. If they were ready, perhaps the next wave of attack could break through Bursa's defense."

"The third wave of reinforcements? Britain and France seem to have invested a lot of money." An officer next to him said in surprise.

"It is not a secret that we mobilize a large number of troops into Asia Minor. The Allies may not be able to know exactly the troops and equipment we mobilize, but through the intelligence system, they can still know a rough idea. The initial raid failed to achieve a decisive victory and entered a stalemate stage. If they do not intend to give up Asia Minor, they must continue to increase their troops. Perhaps in the eyes of Britain and France, it is better to restrain us in Asia Minor than to let us go to the Western Front." Ruprecht said.

The loss of national strength to the 250,000 troops in Asia Minor and on the Western Front is completely different. After all, the supply line has been extended several times, and the supply environment is even worse. According to statistics from the General Staff of the Bavarian Legion, the same force requires a logistics personnel to fight in Asia Minor about three times that of the Western Front! This is also the fundamental reason why Britain and France decided to fight in Asia Minor at all costs? So, this situation is reasonable for the prince.

"Let me introduce the situation on the North Line." The prince said.

"Xiafei has returned to the northern line. If he counts the strength in his hands with the reinforcements he is about to obtain, he can probably concentrate 5 reorganized infantry divisions and no less than 4 armored divisions. In addition, the French and the British also have at least 5 brigades of colonial troops and some cavalry units. By the way, there are at least 30 companies of marine artillery. If these are included, the opponent has an advantage in heavy artillery. The number of tanks and other armored units may not be too small. In addition, they are equipped with about 300 aircraft, which are of course mainly mainly fighter jets." Major General Raul said.

"So what's going on on the southern line now?" the prince continued to ask.

"The British troops are larger than the French. Of course, their combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as that. Their colonial troops account for more than half of the proportion, of which the Indian troops account for about 30% of the total. The total number of troops on the front line is about 200,000. The armored troops are only three armored divisions, including the French armored troops brought by Xia Fei. The heavy artillery troops seem to be very organized, but the firepower on the battlefield is a bit sorry for the organization. However, even so, the British attack was relatively smooth on the periphery of Xinzhan. If they advance 10 kilometers, they can use heavy howitzers to threaten the Ankara railway." Major General Raul said.

"Fight the French first." The prince said, looking at the map. "The British can let them go first and deal with them as appropriate."

Regarding the prince's opinion, the Bavarian General Staff has become accustomed to obeying. Lieutenant General Raul did not say anything nonsense and began to prepare for the battle in the early stages of the battle. The prince also needs to consider it himself, and the war layout will be planned in the next month. The prince's idea is very simple. In the next month to 40 days, the threat from Asia Minor will be basically solved!

Note that it is a basic solution, not a complete solution. In fact, if the British and French troops retreat to the landing ground, under the cover of the British and French naval naval naval, then the prince really has no good way to deal with it. For the current British people, it is still nothing to do with the former dreadnoughtsman in one go. If it is not considered a secondary gun, it is 24 12-inch heavy artillery! This thing is not good for warships, and it will destroy the world against land targets. As for the air force air strikes? Well, since the Allies have been ready to fight here for a long time, the airports and fighter units behind will naturally follow up. It is probably hard to say how the air strikes are effective.

In fact, when the air force fights more often, it depends on the position and the ability to invest troops. It has an overwhelming advantage in the current Bursa Bavarian Air Force, but it may not be possible to get to the sea! Haven’t you seen that the Allies in the 2nd Battle have a huge advantage in the Western Front Air Force. Didn’t the imperial air defense war still go through twists and turns in the first two years?

As for what is the concept of a basic solution? In the definition of a prince, it is a heavy blow to the British and French coalition forces. The combined forces of the British and French coalition forces on the north and south sides are about 350,000. The prince is not demanding high, so it is enough to kill about 280,000 in this battle. If this plan can be achieved, then the remaining Allied troops will definitely not be afraid, because after this wave of main forces lost, it is impossible to get Britain and France to draw such a huge and elite legion from the Western Front again! Even if Britain and France could still occupy a corner on the coast of Asia Minor at that time? They are destined to be unable to advance.
