Three Hundred and Thirty-Three Flaws
For a whole month, the situation of the whole world war did not change significantly. Rain or snow began to fall in some areas in the north, and the bad weather conditions directly affected the enthusiasm of both sides to invest in troops to fight.
The demon fleet has been drifting at sea for more than 40 days, making a big circle, and has not yet landed in the southern waters.
On the side of Ailan Hill, because of the replenishment of ammunition to adjust the force, they gave up the plan of active attack, and honestly recharged their energy and prepared for a larger-scale follow-up war.
Of course, the right to decide where to choose this follow-up war is still in the hands of Emperor Chris.
At the end of Alan Hill's 4th year, Chris, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Empire, held a strategic meeting in the war room.
The attendees are all top-ranking leaders of the military, including the Minister of Defense, the Chief of the General Staff, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and the Air Force.
The focus of the discussion at this meeting was about the focus of the next stage of Ailan Hill's attack.
"In order to shorten the length of our line of defense, I suggest launching limited offensive operations, using terrain, and saving troops." Vagron sat upright and set the tone for the meeting.
"The suggestion of the staff is to launch an attack in the southern region of the Holy Demon Empire, and I will state the benefits of doing so later." Chief of Staff Rokai said straight to the point.
"The Air Force also proposes to put troops into combat in the south, so as to get rid of the adverse effects of the weather." Buttoria also agreed.
It seems that Alan Hill's front is very long, but in fact, there are not many directions that can immediately counterattack. Many troops can only hold their positions in their own defense areas, and there are not enough troops to be drawn out for counterattacks.
On the east line, the long coastline and the endless sea make Alan Hill powerful and nowhere to be used. The navy is recovering, and the army can't go to sea to fight, which makes the Eastern Front counterattack a joke.
Until the naval fleet is fully formed, all counterattacks on the Eastern Front cannot be carried out. This is an objective fact under the constraints of conditions and an insurmountable obstacle.
Therefore, the 15th Army Group, the 16th Army Group, and the 4th Army Group cannot be recruited, and even further strengthening is needed!
Under the premise that the demons are preparing to land in the southern region, the 5th Army Group of Coria deployed by the Empire in the southern region cannot be disturbed.
Even if only one 5th Army Group was deployed, everyone was a little uneasy, worried that the southern region would not be able to withstand the attack of the demon troops.
In the Norma Empire, Ailan Hill's 6th Army Group had just arrived at the front line of the battle, and had not had time to participate in the battle. It may not be too hasty as the main direction of attack.
In the same way, the distant 9th Army is only assisting Greken in the battle. Under the premise that there is no good way to close a magic eye, let the 9th Army attack blindly, and there is no good effect.
To sum up, under the precise calculation of the think tanks, it became a very good choice to use the puppet empire.
Therefore, the differences are focused on whether to fight back within the Eternal Empire or to fight back within the Holy Demon Empire.
If the 2nd Army Group is used to counterattack from north to south, with the westward railway as support, there will be no major problems in logistical supplies, and the support of the local Eternal Empire civilians can also be obtained.
Taking the lead in counterattacking in this direction can draw up a plan for the capital of the Eternal Empire, Kalamix.
Still, Chris preferred another option, a more aggressive combat option. Because once this plan is successful, Ireland Hill's advantage will be even greater.
This plan is what he calls the "left hook plan". The entire plan is huge, and it can be said to be the largest battle plan prepared by Alan Hill after the completion of the battle plan to destroy the Holy Demon Empire.
The complete battle plan is as follows: with the 1st Army Group and the 3rd Army Group as the vanguard, attack the defense line of the puppet empire more than 300 kilometers south of Bellevue.
With the cooperation of the follow-up 7th Army, 8th Army, 19th Army, and 20th Army, they invaded the area occupied by the puppet empire, and then covered the flank with mountains to retake the southern part of the Eternal Empire.
In this way, strategically, Ailan Hill is equivalent to encircling the soldiers of the entire Eternal Empire. A rough estimate may be 1.5 million puppet troops and other troops.
Cutting off the supply lines of these troops, encircling and annihilating these troops, it is possible to completely paralyze the combat capability of the puppet empire.
Moreover, in this way, it is still possible to retake the capital of the Eternal Empire, Karan Meikes, and the effect is no different.
Another advantage of this arrangement is that the main offensive troops, the 1st and 3rd Army Groups, as well as the subsequent 7th, 8th, 11th and 12th Army Groups, are all in the offensive position and do not need to be mobilized too much.
However, it is not without electricity. Because of the lack of railway support, they are operating in the southern region of the Holy Devil Empire, and 6 army groups and army groups are acting together, and the pressure on logistics supply will be very huge.
There are not no remedies. There are many engineers and engineering teams used for reconstruction in the Holy Devil Empire. These forces can be mobilized immediately to repair roads and prepare for the attack of the entire front army.
"Using this plan, we can shorten the defense line by about 1,000 kilometers, and hit the puppet empire... and prepare for the annihilation war next spring." Chris said smugly.
Kastner felt that the plan was too big, and there would be problems with coordination, so he did not agree with the plan.
As the commander-in-chief of the army, Vagron agrees with this plan, and his admiration for Chris has reached an outrageous level. He agreed with all of Chris's plans, and it was almost irrational.
As a loyal minister, this state of affairs is undoubtedly very good, but as a general who checks and fills gaps for His Majesty the Emperor, his habit is a little helpless.
"There are definitely difficulties, but if these difficulties are overcome, the benefits will of course be greater." Luo Kai said slowly, looking at the military configuration on the map.
He saw Chris's fingers tap lightly on the table, which was proof that His Majesty the Emperor was thinking.
This shows that His Majesty the Emperor is also weighing and thinking, and has not made up his mind on which combat plan to use.
Therefore, at this time, as the chief of staff of the empire, Luo Kai must reflect the value of his existence. So he didn't wait for Chris to say anything, he continued to speak, and said loudly: "If the weather conditions permit, I suggest that we prepare for another month."
"It's likely to snow next month, and combat operations in the northern part of the empire will become difficult. Then the plan to send the 2nd Army Group south will be completely useless." Vagron was stunned and looked at Rokai and said.
"So, my suggestion is also very clear. Since we are not ready to attack immediately south, it is better to wait and let the weather help us make a choice." Luo Kai said with a smile.
This is undoubtedly a risky plan. In any case, it is possible to miss some fleeting opportunities by standing still for a month.
However, in the view of Alan Hill's executives who have mastered the strategic initiative, waiting for a month has no essential impact.
Give the puppet empire another month, and they still can't draw enough troops to consume Alan Hill head-on. At the same time, Ailan Hill can reduce many unnecessary losses because of more adequate preparations.
Therefore, whether it was Chris, Kastner, or even Vagron, suddenly felt that delaying the attack for another month was not an intolerable thing.
"Agree!" Commander-in-chief of the Air Force Butoriya thought this was a good idea. He still had a month to deploy his troops, transport ammunition, and make all preparations for war. You know, today's Air Force technology is becoming more and more complex and requires more and more preparation work.
"Luo Kai's idea is good. We will prepare according to the two sets of plans. When the time comes, we will choose which plan to implement according to the weather conditions." Chris glanced at Luo Kai with satisfaction, nodded and said.
The puppet empire still doesn't know that Alan Hill has drawn up the next stage of the battle plan. They don't know yet that Alan Hill has prepared millions of troops for them, ready to surround and wipe out their troops in the Eternal Empire.
At this moment, the puppet empire was not idle either. After a long preparation, they launched an attack on the Norma Empire.
They advanced to Normagas, the capital of the Norma Empire, on the border of the Norma Empire on the west side, and dispatched a million-level army in one go.
Originally, the troops of the Norma Empire, led by Hyde Kanon, were on a par with the Kasik Empire. They were no longer able to manage the safety of the western border. Now they were caught off guard by the puppet empire, so the Norma Empire lost immediately. heavy.
The famous general Heidikanon had to withdraw his troops and merge with the 5th Army Group of Ireland Hill, which had just arrived, to prepare for the next stage of defense.
This attack of the puppet empire was beyond everyone's expectations, and it did cause trouble for the Allies.
However, although the puppet empire has achieved a series of victories in the Eternal Empire and the Norma Empire, it has also buried a deadly hidden danger.
Part of the main force of the puppet army is in the middle of the Eternal Empire, and the other part is trapped in the western part of the Norma Empire. More than one million troops have been deployed on both sides, which is equivalent to opening its chest to Alan Hill to attack at will.
And this deadly attack channel is just on the offensive road of the 1st Army Group and the 3rd Army Group.
