Until now, the defense line that Xia Fei had deployed took a whole week to completely break through was completely broken by the Bavarian Legion in less than a day. Although it might take some time to clear the remaining enemies, anyone who was quite intelligent in military consciousness realized that the French army had been defeated in this battle, and the only question that needs to be struggling was how much the French could escape this time.

"How much strength do we have in our hands now? How many reserve teams and transportation units can we mobilize?" Xia Fei asked suddenly.

"At present, all the mobile forces have at least 4 divisions and more than 50,000 people, with 200 tanks and armored vehicles. But unfortunately, their locations are relatively scattered and it is impossible to put them all into the station. If our timetable can be achieved, it will take about 2 days for us to put them all into battle." said a French military staff officer.

"2 days?" Xia Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly. If he had to wait for two days, at least 5 divisions of Bavarian legions crossed the defense line and rushed to his rear. Moreover, the timetable for the investment of troops was formulated under ideal circumstances, and from the current situation, it was impossible to achieve. Now, Xia Fei could hear the roar of the aircraft engine above his command headquarters.

However, for Xia Fei at this time, the position was scattered and the reserve team behind did not seem bad. At least, they are far away from the German army now. The German army that broke through last night was at the end of their strength, and they themselves have lost the ability to continue to bite the French army. Perhaps the French army will not be able to eliminate it in a short time, but if the French want to leave, the Bavarians can still not keep it.

"We can't fight the Germans here." Xia Fei said this, and walked towards the map hanging on the wall.

"How long will it take for our reinforcements to come from the beach?" Xia Fei asked.

"It will take at least 4 days, and even if you come here, it is an unknown number of heavy equipment they can carry." The staff officer next to him was a little confused about Xia Fei's thoughts. He still had to wait for reinforcements at this time? Four days later, God knows what the current station will be going on.

"The order, except for leaving the necessary restraining troops, all mechanized troops carry all heavy equipment that can be left again. Retreat west according to the retreat plan made before, we must at least 60 kilometers away!" When Xia Fei issued the retreat order, everyone was shocked. They were not only surprised that Xia Fei was going to retreat at this time, but also couldn't understand which troops Xia Fei's so-called retreat troops mean...

"General, our troops located in other directions of the main defense line cannot evacuate at all. Their mobility is too poor to run past the Germans. If an infantry unit leaves the preset position and is attacked by the Bavarian Legion without cover, the consequences will be unimaginable." An officer tried to persuade Xia Fei.

"They will definitely not be able to leave, and I don't plan to let them leave the position." Xia Fei's tone was so cold that it made the people around him tremble. Some people even thought that Xia Fei might want to abandon the army and flee. This is an unforgivable crime!

"What I want to evacuate now is all the troops that can avoid this round of attack by the German army. I want to withdraw as many elite troops, heavy weapons and materials as possible from the attack of the Germans. Then, I will wait for the reinforcements coming from the landing site. After accumulating strength, launch a large-scale counterattack!" Xia Fei said.

The so-called hero cut off his arm is just like this! The front line has been broken. And when the French army cannot block the gap and cannot defeat the Bavarian army in the field, Xia Fei issued this cold but wise order! In this order, all the French army troops that cannot be evacuated will continue to defend themselves, while all the French mobile troops and logistics units that can evacuate must temporarily jump out of the German strike range!

That's right, it's just to jump out of the German strike range. Whether it's blitzkrieg or large-scale deep combat, the core point is to attack the enemy's rear as much as possible to prevent the opponent from reorganizing the defense line. Then, as the advancement is to separate the isolated opponent, break up the complete enemy and eat it in one bite. To achieve this goal, the most critical question is how far the attacking party can fight at one time!

In order to fight further, the German military used blitzkrieg to form the sharpest spearhead to cut the opponent. In order to fight further, the Russians carried out multiple waves of attacks in depth. After tearing open the defense line, a large number of mechanized troops entered the battlefield to prevent these precious legions from suffering losses in the process of breaking through the opponent's solid fortification zone. Putting aside all other factors, if you want to deal with the rapid combat of large-scale motorized corps, how to give your troops the opportunity to reorganize the counterattack force when the front line cannot resist it is the key to determining the outcome!

Although Xia Fei could not summarize all this in words, it was obvious that he had already felt some of the true meanings of it! Since the Bavarian Legion was unstoppable, instead of joining a decisive battle that failed actively, why not take advantage of the large number of vehicles in his hands to evacuate first? If you retain the elite, you will retain hope! This is what it means to ensure that there is vitality.

Although Bavaria has produced a time traveler, which has improved the technology and industrial level of this era to a certain extent, what can I say? Under the limitations of history, this improvement is more about quantity rather than quality, and the performance and stability of cars are still very problematic. Although the so-called tank is quite good in facing performance, the problem of the short life of various components still cannot be solved.

These tiny and tiny problems together lead to such a result. Even in the battlefield in the Asia Minor Plain region, which is more suitable for tank combat, the armored troops are still too close due to hardware restrictions. According to the Bavarian Legion's estimate, in 3 days, the troops mainly composed of tanks and armored vehicles must undergo a period of rest if they exceed 100 kilometers in combat state! Otherwise, the condition of the armored troops will be poor!

What was the order issued by Xiafei? Let the troops retreat at least 50 kilometers. If the depth of the French army is included, then the distance between Xiafei's retreat and the distance between the German Army's starting positions is about 100 kilometers. In other words, at this distance, the German army is already at the end of its strength.
