In the chaos caused at the beginning of the breakthrough, the lost reserve team also made Xia Fei feel pain. In the battle tonight, the losses of artillery and front-line troops were not counted, and the rear troops and reserve teams that were attacked simply, the French Army lost at least 5,000 troops of at least 3 regiments. This force is nothing to the French army of more than 200,000 in total. But if it happens at a certain point, it will shake the losses on some fronts. Although the losses of the Germans are not clear, they are definitely not large. To be honest, until now, Xia Fei does not know the specific forces and equipment level of the German army breaking in...

Xia Fei already knew the next plan of the Bavarian Legion. Tomorrow morning, when dawn came, the French Legion would face the most dangerous wave of attacks since the beginning of the Battle of Asia Minor. Tens of thousands of elite Bavarian troops would attack the breakthrough of the backbone under the cover of the air force with absolute advantage... His artillery advantage has disappeared, and there is a German army behind him doing trouble everywhere.

At this moment, Xia Fei knew that the outcome of this battle would be announced within the next two days. In this case, he ordered the two divisions and 1 brigade of the reserve team of the entire army to prepare to start the battle immediately. They will first annihilate the German rushing troops tomorrow, and then work with the front-line garrison to deal with the main attack force of the Bavarian Legion!

"No, this is not enough. According to our estimates, to resist the main attack of the Bavarian Legion on a not-solid defense line, at least 2 times the strength and equipment are required. Even if all the reserves are transferred, plus the remaining forces on the front line, our total strength will not exceed 5 divisions at most. If the Bavarian Legion tries its best to launch an attack, there will be at least 4 divisions!" Xia Fei said to himself.

"But fortunately, I'm ready to go!" Xia Fei finally smiled for the first time tonight. After this situation, the only thing the French had to do and could do was to immediately draw reinforcements from other places. Rapid transfer of troops requires transportation capabilities!

I really think that Xia Fei, a veteran who has been in the battlefield for a long time on the Western Front, only knows how to dig trenches, lay minefields and barbed wires, build support points and artillery positions? Tusen breaks the pattern! At this level, you can only command one army at most! The key to a completed defense line is not only military, but also the smooth logistics road! This is the case with both the offensive and the defensive parties! Why, in the history of the Battle of Verdun, the German Army could support millions of artillery shell consumption? Because they laid a wooden narrow-gauge railway for each division!

Also in the Battle of Verdun, why could the French defend Verdun unexpectedly? What is the key to supporting hundreds of thousands of troops to fight on the front line? Isn’t it the hundreds of platoons and thousands of cars prepared by the French? And in Asia Minor? Xiafei has no capital to provide such terrifying transportation capabilities. But he also made some preparations for the troops’ regional tactical mobilization!

Xia Fei's approach is very simple, it is to squeeze hard! As the saying goes, time is like water in a sponge, and it will always be squeezed... Similar approaches are like the use of heavy artillery by the Soviet army in World War II. Among troops below the division level, the artillery assigned to the Soviet troops can be described as pitiful. The Soviets gathered a large number of artillery that should have been assigned to the regiment and division level to a higher level in order to gain firepower advantages. Xia Fei's approach is also very simple. He forced all front-line troops to hand over an additional quarter of the vehicles to form a transportation force directly under the legion.

In Xia Fei's view, the troops on the front line only need to defend their positions. If there is a gap in a certain defense line, it should be the matter of the reserve team. The front line troops do not need any mobility, so although this order is cold, it really increases the French's troops' mobilization ability. Of course, even so, they only have the possibility of rapid mobilization. What is the actual situation? They will have to wait to go to the battlefield to know!

"Send a telegram to me and Major General Hawke, commander of the British Northern Line Aviation Corps, saying that the outcome of the battle will be announced tomorrow, and before sunset, I hope that the eagle from England can spread its broad and powerful wings to block the haze in the sky for us!" Xia Fei thought for a while and said.

Generally speaking, unless the twin-engine bomber carries a large amount of bombs, such as those iron watermelons above 250kg, small bombs and machine guns can only be suppressed for trenches and artillery positions. However, these gods of death in the air are definitely the most terrifying thing for transport convoys exposed to the wilderness. When humans can fly into the sky, they finally break the insurmountable boundary in front and behind the front line!

It can be foreseen that in tomorrow's battle, the air force of the Bavarian Legion will definitely suppress the French transport units in depth and the troops coming to support. The French had no choice but to rely on this, so the only thing they could rely on was the British Air Force.

The British's reaction was also very powerful. That night, Major General Hawke sent a telegram to his boss, General Trenchard, asking to mobilize the British Air Force who were left on the landing ground. As for what to do if the front-line airport cannot be let go? There is no need to worry about this problem, because after tomorrow's battle, there will definitely be many planes that will never come back!

Before dawn, Xiafei finally adjusted the tasks of the reinforcements. Those troops were going to deal with the Bavarian assault troops that had already rushed in. Those troops were used to block the gaps, and those troops were used to launch a deadly counterattack when the opponent was exhausted. These all require careful calculations. After all, this time, the French did not have the advantage in overall strength, and after the battle tonight, they had lost more technical equipment.

While the French were busy preparing for tomorrow's battle, the German army on the front line was also using the last period of time to arrange their own deployment. This battle is also of great experimental significance for the Bavarian Legion. After all, more than half a year has passed since the last army-level war against Britain and France. The experience of this battle is of great significance for the Bavarian Legion to improve the future battle tactical system of the Western Front!

"All our efforts will be decided tomorrow!" Earl Schmidt said.
