Chapter 1642 The Strong Man Broke His Wrist 2

What will happen if Xia Fei successfully evacuated? The form of the entire front would become like this. The original French position was divided into two, and the Bavarian Legion broke through the position, but there was no way to use the evacuated French mobile troops. In the west, the French reinforcements continued to rush to the battlefield. The divided defense line formed a stable triangle with the mobile corps commanded by Xia Fei, and the Bavarian Legion was located in this triangle!

What would the Bavarian Legion choose? If the attack is not possible, the best way is to expand to both sides and eat the French army remaining in the positions. This may not be an easy task. You should know that in 1 battle, the French included national hatred and family grudges and the Germans to fight to the death, and the spiritual attributes were simply max! Just look at the Battle of Verdun, you can tell that the French army of 69 divisions were defeated or severely damaged, and the French could grit their teeth to fight this decisive battle. It has to be said that this nerve is truly tough and terrible!

(Of course, it is undeniable that the French army had a large mutiny on the front line due to the large-scale casualties, but that was also the result of the heavy pressure to a certain extent. Overall, France had a strong fighting will for most of the time in the Battle of War.)

Therefore, on this battlefield, the defensive forces composed of the elite French army on the western front will never give up their resistance because the position is broken through. They will rely on bunkers and fortifications to resist and continue to fight until victory or death! And Xia Fei led the evacuated mobile troops and subsequent reinforcements to be undoubtedly the spiritual pillars they persisted in! The number of French troops remaining on the entire defense line also exceeded 100,000. It is no problem for the Bavarian Legion to eat this size, but it takes time and costs!

However, at this time, Xiafei's evacuation troops and the French reinforcements behind them will seriously threaten the German flanks. In a battle, there can only be one main target in one stage. So now the question is, should the Bavarian Legion deal with the French troops on both positions or continue to attack the farther away from our side, but what about Xiafei's direct troops with strong mobility?

Of course there is another possibility, that is, the Bavarian Legion temporarily gave up the offensive, moved into a defensive state, and then formed a huge protrusion. In this way, the Bavarian Legion that moved into a defensive state was definitely defeated by the French. But so what? If the Bavarian Legion does this, it will hit the French's thoughts!

If a front confrontation is formed, then in any case, the Bavarian Legion must leave enough troops to stare at the French. Well, who is more beneficial to the two sides' combined more than 400,000 troops to stare at each other? It is naturally more beneficial to the French! According to the Allies' estimates, they believe that even with the joining of the Bavarian Legion, at the current stage, it is still impossible for the Germans to defeat the French on the northern front of the Asia Minor battlefield at the same time attacking the British on the southern front!

In other words, if the two sides re-establish a stalemate, the British army on the southern line will be safe and can launch an attack on Ankara step by step, so as to continue to complete the second goal of the Allied Powers - cutting off the 3b railway and cutting off the grain and oil transported from the Mesopotamia to Germany!

Of course, the Bavarian Legion can achieve two-way attacks by continuing to increase its troops. However, the continuous influx of troops into Asia Minor is undoubtedly a huge pressure on logistics supply. If it is so large that Turkey cannot meet the most basic daily necessities consumption, then once materials such as food and livestock feed are transported from the local area, the cost of war in the Kingdom of Bavaria will be too high! The war of attrition has always been the favorite link of the Allies.

Then? Naturally, time delayed to winter, which is a season when everyone needs to rest. Whether it is the Western Front, the Balkans or Asia Minor, neither side intends to launch a large-scale attack. Then the French can completely delay a large number of elite Bavarian legions until the beginning of next spring! The purpose of restraining the Bavarian legions has been achieved. After a winter rest, the situation of the Allies will be better next year, right? As for the time ahead? Well, that is not something that can be discussed now.

So after sorting out the logical chain in his mind, Xia Fei was more satisfied with the order he just issued. He established a material reserve warehouse on all defense lines, with enough weapons and other materials to support the garrison to consume for a month. Therefore, there will be no problem of insufficient material supply in a short period of time. After the German army stretched the supply line of 100 kilometers, the supply difficulty was definitely greater. Some people may say that the supply distance from Constantinople to the front line is more than 400 kilometers. Even if it stretched 100 kilometers, it would not be a big deal?

Please, 350 kilometers of the supply line that was nearly 400 kilometers before were all railways, and only the last 30 to 50 kilometers were roads. The supply efficiency of this railway is much stronger than that of the highway! Xia Fei can be sure that the Bavarian Legion was able to launch this wave of offensives and relied on the support of a large amount of hoarded materials. After consuming these materials, the Bavarian Legion naturally had no ability to continue moving forward!

The so-called military orders must be implemented if they understand, and those who don’t understand must be implemented even if they don’t. After Xia Fei once again determined the order, the entire French command became busy. The officers and staff needed to determine which troops could be evacuated and which troops needed to be cut off based on the situation on the battlefield. The allocation of various vehicles and transportation vehicles and the contact with the British Air Force needed to be quickly launched. At this time, as the combat targets changed, the British Air Force's mission also needed to be changed. They no longer blocked German bombers over the battlefield, but instead turned into cover troops to evacuate backwards.

Thousands of vehicles, tens of thousands of horses and a large number of troops, well, moving these troops in open fields will be the best target for the Air Force! If you are not careful, the troops in these movements may go from retreating to retreating under the attack of the Air Force.

Countless orders radiated to the surroundings along the telephone lines and radios. With the orders issued, the French began to adjust their deployment. Some troops who were originally preparing to go to the front stopped and began to evacuate to the rear. The French troops on both sides of the positions launched restraining attacks to try to delay the progress of the Bavarian Legion's advance.

"The French attack seemed to have stopped?" A tank leader opened the hatch and climbed out of the tank while confirming safety around him. He had now had enough of the environment inside the tank, the high temperature, the dirty air and the small space.
