"So, on land, your country can also adopt a war of attrition, that is, to fight a large-scale war of attrition in places where the Japanese gave up. Whether it is the oil and rubber production areas on Kalimantan, or the copper mines and other mines on Guinea, these places are the essence of these islands. As long as your country concentrates its forces to attack these areas, they must defend whether Japan wants or not. Then, attract the Japanese army from the rugged mountains and lush jungles, and fight a modern war on the preset battlefield of the US military. You don't even have to win. As long as you can continue to consume, believe me, and the one who surrenders in the end is Japan!" said the prince with a smile.

"Although you won't win this way, it's a very good way." Pershing nodded and said.

"The correct strategy only points out the direction. As a unit that has not experienced modern large-scale wars for a long time, your country still has many places to learn. The cooperation between infantry and artillery is only the most basic, and the cooperation between armored forces and infantry is considered to be advanced. The cooperation between the air force and the ground is the mainstream of future tactics. Of course, these are all tactical levels. At the battle level, how to use our own maneuver advantages and reconnaissance advantages to find the enemy's loopholes and create opportunities to lay a victory in one fell swoop. For example, in this battle we are about to start, I can tell you very clearly that the troops we invest are not stronger than the French, and the technical equipment they have is not superior, but in this battle, we are hunters, and the French are prey."

Prince Ruprecht didn't mind teaching Americans at this time. After all, everyone is an allies now. At least on the surface, the top leaders of the US Army feel that they are valued. Their senses will become real money to support Germany after returning to the United States. What? What do you think if Americans learn well, what will happen in 20 years? Brothers are too far away, and in 20 years, the way of war created by technology will change again. Isn't it just a saying that the staff members are always ready for the last war?

"The mobility of a force is an important part of the combat effectiveness of the force. In the Middle Ages, cavalry dominated the battlefield for hundreds of years with strong mobility and penetration. In the Napoleon period, as the troops were equipped more and more heavy and the vehicles did not develop greatly, the mobility of the troops continued to decline. During the Napoleonic War, the marching speed of the large troops could reach about 50 kilometers per day, while during the Russo-Japanese War, the movement speed of the legions separated from the railway line was only about 25 kilometers. However, today, everything has changed because we have cars, tanks and aircraft."

"If we want to defeat the French army in front of us, it is difficult to rely solely on positional warfare and propulsion. The opponent has at least 30 companies of long-range artillery, with firing distances ranging from 15 to 18 kilometers. Artillery soldiers in the semi-permanent offensive can cover most areas. In this case, if our troops stay at a certain point for a long time, it may cause great trouble. Those who come from the Western Front should know that it is normal for the current fire suppression to last for several hours."

"The quantity and quality of our artillery are not as good as our opponents, and relying solely on the current air force to suppress hundreds of long-range artillery is a difficult task. So what do we need to do now? Naturally, it is to attack quickly, move continuously, penetrate or encircle the opponent in depth, and not fight in the opponent's preset position!"

"In this battle, my troops will completely disrupt the fragile boundary between the enemy's front line and the rear, and at the same time use the accompanying self-propelled artillery to concentrate superior firepower in a certain direction to suppress it. We will work hard on the other side and deploy a large number of troops' defenses to the back, and then directly penetrate the most vulnerable part like a sharp blade."

"The opponent is not short of troops, nor is it not lacking sufficient heavy weapons, nor is it not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is completely led by us. A large number of troops are moving slowly between defense lines, and precious time and fighter jets are wasted on the road. On the battlefield, any small failure may lead to extremely serious consequences!" The prince said excitedly.

"But if the opponent's defense line is deep enough and minefields, obstacles, and trenches are deployed, it may not be so easy for you to break through. On the entire Western Front, both sides do not have tank and armored troops, but often after breaking through the first few layers of defense lines, they will feel like they are trapped in a quagmire."

Major Marshall thought for a while and said that the trench offensive and defensive battle on the Western Front had left a profound impact on him. Countless soldiers and thousands of tons of ammunition poured into a small place. The price of tens of thousands of people on both sides often could only move the show hundreds of meters. This was not a war, but a massacre!

"The establishment of any tactic is based on the fact that strength is at the same level. If the gap is too big, so that even a dog can win, then there is naturally no point in discussion. It is obviously difficult to use the troops in my hands to break through the defense line like the Western Front, because our forces are not equal, and the gap is too big. So this time we are just a preview of the future Western Front Battle. How can we break through the opponent's defense line and wipe out the opponent with roughly equal strength." The prince explained.

Is this Bavarian army strong? Of course, it is very strong, but if you take it to the Western Front, the scale and strength are far from enough to launch a decisive battle in a certain direction. An army group on the Western Front is more than 800,000, without thousands of artillery, dozens of train guns, hundreds of 210mm heavy howitzers and K09 cannons. Do you have the nerve to say that you are going to launch a large-scale attack on the Western Front? What a joke?

The prince is not worried that such a battle will not be fought on the Western Front in the future. Not to mention the distance, just look at history. The German army, which had no tanks in time and the air force was not superior, also launched an emperor's offensive in the late stage of World War I, almost defeating the French? In this era, the Americans did not participate in the war, but on the contrary, they were on the side of the Germans. Not to mention whether they could parade on the Champs-Elysées again, at least to give up their advantages, and make Paris within the range of the K09 artillery. Isn't it a big problem? Put the gun on your forehead and you are afraid that you will not give in?

Besides, when the Bavarian Legion really went to the Western Front, the German army had the advantage in terms of quantity and quality. If we were to say it in terms of relative strength, the Western Front should be better than the situation in this battle. At least on the Western Front, the total number of German armored troops and troops concentrated was superior, and the artillery and the air force could at least remain equal. Here, in addition to the air force, the number of armored troops was not superior, and the artillery was even worse.

"Then let's wait and see." The old black man, Pershing, said meaningfully.
