"It seems that the Russians are still planning to fight with us." Looking at the situation charts of the two sides that the staff members had just remarked on the sand table, Prince Ruprecht couldn't help but laugh.

Judging from the situation, the Russian Sixth Army was preparing to rescue the Fifth Army. The troops composed of 7 main divisions and 3 border garrison divisions have gathered and are on standby. The latter is a regional defense force and has temporarily joined the organization of the Sixth Army. Although there is not much force, it is said that they have obtained heavy weapons from the border garrison troops, which has been strengthened.

The Bavarian side also completed the assembly. Three rapid assault divisions were deployed to the front line, with three rapid divisions and two ordinary divisions following up, including one of the Czech rapid divisions. They joined the attack sequence based on the concept of training the team and improving combat effectiveness.

"Is there anything else to say about the battle plan?" the prince asked.

"I personally feel that it's enough to act according to the last plan. The Russian troops have no ability to resist us. We can easily tear the gap and then divide and surround it. It is estimated that before the end of this war, Russia will not be able to stop us from advancing." Baron Schmidt said very easily.

"Wouldn't it be too boring if we just repeat the previous tactics?" the prince frowned slightly. "I'm going to change the gameplay. Maybe our tactics are invincible in the narrow front of Poland. But when we attack Ukraine and Belarus, the battle line between the two sides is thousands of kilometers wide, and the troops will be quite dispersed. Even if we penetrate a point, the killing of the Russian army will be very limited."

"So, this time I plan to do an experiment to improve our tactics. Who has any opinions?" Ruprecht asked.

"If it's just to deal with the Russians, then the fast division itself can also break through the opponent's defense line. We can completely increase the width of the attack and deploy 2 fast divisions next to the three assault divisions on the front. In this way, our troops can instantly break the opponent's defense line like a heavy hammer." Kariput said first. This time Kariput, who held heavy troops, did not perform well. While Schmidt was advancing, Kariput was just sweeping the tail behind, which made him feel dissatisfied.

"If you can break through easily, the role of the assault division will be to penetrate deep into the opponent. Just hand the enemies in the shallow positions directly to General Kariput." Schmidt said.

"Good idea. Change the original breakthrough tactic to multiple breakthroughs, relying on more breakthroughs and wider fronts to crush the opponent's defense line. This already means fighting in depth in the future." The prince said in his heart.

Of course, it is just a similar shape. In large-scale deep combat, the combat echelon is divided into three types: assault echelon, development echelon and reserve force. When the assault echelon breaks through the position, it is not in a hurry to continue attacking, but expands to both sides. Then the echelon develops to attack in depth, besiege the opponent's main force and kills reinforcements. The reserve force is used to plug leaks, plus the air force and airborne forces, forming an attack surface of dozens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers on the front.

In order to adapt to the vast battlefield on the eastern front, simple point assault must also be transformed into multi-point assault. Of course, this is based on the situation where the opponent's troops are relatively low in density and the defense is not strong. If the opponent's equipment level and strength are the same as his own, then it is better to concentrate the troops to fight a little honestly......

The victory in the first phase of the battle greatly increased Prince Ruprecht's confidence, so he decided to play this time to see if he could solve the situation in the middle and north roads of the Eastern Front as soon as possible. After all, judging from the current schedule, Germany has almost taken down the entire Belgium and will soon fight with the French. The German Emperor and Moltkes will probably transfer some elite troops in the Bavarian Legion West. The prince does not want to fight one and a half to half.

So, after re-planning, the formation of the troops changed. Kariput's two rapid divisions and an assault division reached the front. In this way, there were 6 complete divisions in the front line, and the second echelon was all ordinary divisions. After the first echelon smashed the opponent's defense line, the second echelon entered the battlefield to be responsible for dividing and encircling and expanding the breakthrough. At the same time, in order to ensure the speed of the troops' offensive speed, the Bavarian Legion made a unified plan for the logistics and transportation troops again, and some vehicles that were lost to the shallow offensive forces were drawn out to ensure that the troops attacking in depth could obtain sufficient supplies.

At the same time, the Bavarian Air Force also organized a group. Considering that the Russians' defense capabilities were really poor, the support for front-line troops would be placed at a secondary position, and bombing Russia's deep targets and transportation hubs would be the main task. In addition, the four bomber squadrons transferred from Bohemia, in the combat plan code-named Black Lightning, the Bavarian Air Force concentrated a total of 11 bomber squadrons, a total of 244 k-4 bombers!

"Such a large-scale attack may consume more materials. Especially for fuel resources, if we do not want to use reserves, our offensive should be postponed for two weeks." Lieutenant General Sainz, who is in charge of logistics, reported to Prince Ruprecht.

"Romania is still neutral now, and we can still obtain fuel from Romania. Don't worry, and follow the plan discussed in the meeting." Ruprecht thought for a while and said that Romania has temporarily chosen neutrality in this plane, so Germany can still obtain fuel more easily. There is no need to transport it from the Middle East through railways and waterways. Therefore, the prince is not very worried about fuel reserves.

With the absolute military advantage on the front battlefield, the carefully prepared transportation logistics system, and the continuous fuel supply, Ruprecht prepared for the upcoming offensive. He thought that the moves the Russians might have taken were a little troublesome, with the air force and mobile artillery responsible for these. The two Russian armies in the north may go south to reinforce? It doesn't matter, the bomber troops will launch bombing on key transportation hubs. The Russian army that is confronting Austro-Hungary on the southern front is reinforcement? This is not a problem. They are too far away, and if they come here, the daylily will be cold.

As for the front sixth Army? Haha, it’s not enough to fight, Ruprecht always feels that this battle is as stable as a dog. But the facts prove that the prince is still a little simple, and there are still some small problems in the battle, but it is not caused by the opponent, but by his own people!
