While the assault forces made a mess in the rear of the French, the main German army was also using the dark night before dawn and the chaos caused by the attack to make arrangements for tomorrow's attack. In order to quickly and thoroughly after dawn, the main forces could quickly and completely shake the entire French defense line, and the German army's offensive plan this time was also unique.

After the second wave of attack troops broke through the defense line, a large number of German howitzers and mortar units began to move forward along the road opened by the attacking troops. Under the cover of night, these artillery positions with relatively close ranges moved forward about 3 to 5 kilometers in one night. After moving, more than 300 mortars of 120mm and above caliber were aimed at the Russians' second line of defense, and the range of hundreds of howitzers also covered the French's main line of defense and the rear.

Before the artillery moved, the range of the howitzer could reach the French's main defense line, and it would be nice that the mortar could hit the first defense line. After all, the range of the 120mm mortar in this era was between 3,000 and 4,000 meters.

In order to ensure that the marching troops can obtain reliable accompanying fire support, Earl Schmidt concentrated a large number of tracked and wheeled self-propelled artillery, and they will form independent rapid artillery battalions to support the marching armored forces. In order to ensure the supply of these self-propelled artillery, each artillery battalion also deployed an additional transportation company to provide them with ammunition.

Armored troops are still the spearhead of the attack, but this time, for a large number of troops, the Bavarian Legion has no way to equip them with infantry that can provide cover for them. In desperation, some infantry can only "hang" on tanks to ensure that the tanks in the attack can obtain certain infantry fire support.

Behind the tank troops are a large number of horse-riding infantry, most of which are collected from Turkey. As a means of transportation for German infantry, according to the Germans, these horses can run 50 kilometers with their men and women and complete the mission. The temporary added cavalry and the original cavalry combined with about 12,000 people will be one of the most important helpers for armored troops to attack. (What do you think, in history, Russian tanks and cavalry were very common.)

The Air Force also made a good response this night. Among the 500 various aircraft to be deployed tomorrow, there are 300 of the K-4 and K-6 bombers, of which 220 bombers will be responsible for suppressing the French artillery positions in depth and blocking the reinforcements of the French. Another 80 bombers will suppress the French airports with relatively high positions. There are a total of 150 fighters, of which 50 fighters from two elite squadrons will form 15 hunting squads to freely attack British fighters entering the battlefield, and the other 100 will cover bombers entering the battlefield. In addition, there are 50 aircraft that are responsible for liaison, reconnaissance and artillery aligning tasks.

"If we successfully crush the French defense line tomorrow, what will you do next?" At this time, in the Bavarian Legion Front Command, looking at the predetermined attack lines formed by dotted lines in the map, the black old man Pan Xing asked.

"If I guess correctly, according to the Bavarian Legion's approach on the European battlefield, you will order the troops to attack on both sides after breaking through the opponent's defense line in order to expand the results of the battle." Pershing said.

"However, this is Asia Minor, and the tactics of surrounding the enemy's rear after the breakthrough were more used on the Western Front and the Polish war zone of that year. After we occupied Poland, we would not need to deal with the Russian army. We just need to continue to break through in depth."

"The fundamental reason for this tactical gap is the different forms of battlefield maneuver. On the Western Front and the Polish theater, both sides have complex railways and highway routes. If the opponent finds that the front line is no longer rescued, they will quickly evacuate the road to the rear. Therefore, in accordance with the principle of destroying the opponent's live power, we must continue to encircle and annihilate the enemy troops ready to evacuate after the breakthrough."

"But it's different in Asia Minor. The road traffic in Turkey is very poor, and the French did not establish a complete network of troops. Once we break through their fronts and destroy or control the main traffic nodes, their troops can only move in the wilderness, move very slowly, and cannot carry heavy weapons. In this case, if they choose to evacuate, they will be searching for death. They will eventually be caught up by our fast troops and eaten in one bite." Earl Schmidt explained.

"So when the French were defeated on the front line, was it possible for the French to draw reinforcements from the rear? After all, compared with the British army located outside Ankara, the French army was not far from the landing site, and they were not without garrisons at the port." Pershing asked.

"Haha, if a mobile war is being held in a plain, the Bavarian Legion is not afraid of any opponent. Even if the attacking party is the French and has a 2-fold advantage, we can still use speed and tactics to easily dismantle their offensive." Schmidt did not pay much attention to the reinforcements of the French. After all, in the previous battle, no matter whether they face the British, the French were confused about the Japanese. No matter how elite their so-called troops fought with the Bavarian Legion in an empty area, they would not have any good results.

In the command post of the Bavarian Legion, in addition to the Bavarians and Americans, there was a group of people who seemed a bit maverick. These were the battlefield observers of Farkinhan and Prussia. Since the incident broke out, Farkinhan's final outcome was to come to Hagia Sophia as the deputy representative of the Prussian Legion in Bavaria. The prince did not make any embarrassment for this former boss who had almost bid farewell to the political and military circles. The environment was relatively relaxed, and he would watch some purely military mobilizations.

Before this battle, Farkinhan applied to the prince to go to the front line, and the prince agreed to this request. After all, as a member of the Prussian delegation, let's see why not let the battlefield. This decision made Count Kariput feel dissatisfied, and he always suspected that the old guy was still hostile to Bavaria.

"Fajinghan only needs to see what we are willing to let him see. Everyone in the Prussian delegation is the German Emperor's eyeliner. If an important eyeliner cannot see something, how can the German Emperor feel at ease? We must let Fajinghan tell the German Emperor the location of all the elite troops of the Bavarian Legion!" The prince answered him at the time.
