In the following two weeks, Peng Yi and his accompanying Chinese Army Officer Corps, who came to Germany, conducted several deductions on the future war situation in the Far East with the staff of the German Army Ministry and the German Imperial Army General Staff. In the war game

The Birthplace of Deduction: Deducing wars in the Far East, Peng Yi and his party learned a lot. It turned out that some things that were not well understood or were wrong were discovered in one go.

It was corrected in this deduction. Although Xu Jie was a time traveler, his preparations and operations for the war at that time were far inferior to Germany, a country that was always ready for war. It turned out that the battle in Beiyang was just a battle against the opponent in a small town, and if it expanded

On a nationwide scale, planning from a national strategic perspective is not something Xu Jie can do alone! Learning is a must!

There is a reason why the Germans devoted all their efforts to explaining this set of the most complete and scientific deduction methods in the world today, and this reason lies in the next stage of the deduction project! The entire deduction assumes that the European battlefield will be dominated by Germany and Austria 15 years later.

The alliance headed by Italy and Britain, France and Russia

The alliance launched a decisive battle. Because this was at the Army Headquarters, it did not involve the navy, and the entire battlefield would be divided into two parts: the Eastern Front and the Western Front. The German, Austrian and Italian side was the German General Staff headed by Schlieffen, while the British, French and Russian

On one side is the Chinese imitation German military corps headed by Peng Yi.

In the first round of deductions, Schlieffen decided to launch an offensive against France from the direction of Belgium in accordance with his original Schlieffen Plan. Although it was known that the French had established a complete defense system on the Franco-Belgian border, considering that this route passed through the plains

Moreover, Belgium has convenient transportation channels, so Schlieffen wants to reproduce his plan! This plan is like Schlieffen's son. It is a plan that has been spent more than ten years on. If you give up without giving it a try, no one will

Not willing to give in!

After the official battle on D-Day began, Schlieffen used the defense lines and steep terrain established on the French-German border to delay the French Army's attack on Alsace-Lorraine while concentrating the main force of the German army to attack Belgium. Convenient transportation allowed

Germany concentrated hundreds of thousands of troops to invade Belgium in a short period of time! Faced with the sharp German front, Belgium had no ability to resist. Even with the help of the French and British troops, the Belgian army was still retreating!

Except for being blocked in the Fortress of the Burning Sun for four days, the German attack was relatively smooth. However, at this time, due to transportation problems, the German supply efficiency had begun to slowly decline. The reason is very simple. The British and French teams resisted steadily.

At the same time, Belgium has planned to implement

The scorched earth resistance began to systematically and completely destroy the Belgian transportation system. They pulled out the railway tracks, blew up the stations, and collapsed the dams, turning Pingyuan into a swamp. The German troops had to move forward in the mud without railways.

OK, the traffic situation is worse than it was in 1870!

On the one hand, the supply speed is slowed down, and on the other hand, it is the huge consumption of the offensive troops. In order to ensure the supply speed, a large number of horses must be equipped, and the consumption of one horse is equivalent to ten soldiers! And itself increases the difficulty of supply.

, and this is just an appetizer. The truly terrifying consumption is the consumption of ammunition when attacking the defense line!

Originally, during the Franco-Prussian War, a soldier could carry 200 rounds of ammunition for 6 weeks. But now, a 7-man machine gun team carrying nearly 10,000 rounds of ammunition may be used up in 2 days! The world-famous Krupp artillery

The consumption of a 210mm heavy howitzer is even more astonishing. In one day,

It can burn out more than 100 rounds of ammunition. Before the war started, each gun was expected to have 1,000 rounds of ammunition until the end of the war, but it could only last for less than 2 months at most! This is while ensuring transportation! In fact

Each artillery gun ran out of ammunition early, but the follow-up ammunition did not keep up!

But even so, the German Army still tore open the defense lines leading to Paris. With the idea of ​​concentrating elite troops and artillery, the Germans gathered the most elite troops together, made gaps in the defense lines, and then continued to advance.

The task of expanding the results of the battle was handed over to the troops behind, but even so, 80 kilometers away from Paris,

The elite German troops have been exhausted, and they have no ammunition or supplies to continue advancing. What is even more dangerous is that the French have drawn a large number of troops from the center line to attack from the southwest, while the British have crossed the English Channel and are attacking from the southwest.

Launch an attack from the northwest! A total of 800,000 troops from the two armies clamped down on the German protrusion like a pair of giant pliers!

"General Peng Yi, that's all." Looking at his opponent's actions, Schlieffen sneered. The elite German troops in the salient began to gradually shrink their positions, while the German army behind them began to accelerate! The British and French armies succeeded as expected.

Completed the encirclement of 10 elite divisions at the front of Germany! This scene was completely in accordance with Peng Yi's expectations, and it was also in accordance with Schlieffen's expectations!

"The bait of 10 divisions is rich enough, that's why you were fooled." During the break, Schlieffen said to Peng Yi with a smile. "Although the bait of 10 divisions is rich, it is not worth my effort! Believe me

, in the next few weeks, Germany's most elite army will be buried on French soil!" Peng Yi laughed.

The situation at this time was indeed good for Peng Yi. The British and French troops had already surrounded the lone German army of 10 divisions that lacked heavy artillery support. At this time, the German follow-up troops were still 2 days away from the vanguard, and the distance between the two sides did not count.

Far away, only about 30 miles, but you have to know that in those days,

A field regiment dominated by chariots and horses cannot travel more than 15 miles in one day, especially on enemy territory. Otherwise, it means losing heavy firepower and lacking sufficient supplies! In two days, it is enough for 800,000 British and French troops.

The two ** teams completely wiped out the German lone troops of these 10 divisions!

Both sides laughed. What Peng Yi saw was that the German army numbers of 10 divisions disappeared from the military list, while what Schlieffen saw was the flanks of Britain and France! One month after the war started, Schlieffen finally found an excellent solution.

An opportunity! An opportunity that could put the British and French coalition forces in jeopardy! Schlieffen played his trump card at this moment! A whole three divisions of armored forces quickly killed Arrow's armored forces.

Toward the flank of the British! The fundamental reason why we chose to attack the British instead of the French is that the French follow-up troops are very close to the forward and difficult to cut through. The three divisions have more than 400 tanks of various types and other auxiliary vehicles.

The steel army was enough to cover a distance of 30 miles in one day! Before Britain and France could launch a general offensive, the Germans struck hard on the flank of the British army!

The British Army, which had just landed and had a weak foothold, was somewhat disoriented at this moment. Those fast-moving, bullet-unafraid monsters were rampaging across the plains, spitting deadly flames. The four British divisions responsible for flank protection were not the same at all.

The combined enemy was directly crushed into pieces by the speeding tracks! At this moment, Schlieffen seemed to see the goddess of victory waving to him! But then, Schlieffen realized that something was wrong!

Although Schlieffen's armored iron fist successfully tore the opponent's defense line into pieces, there are still several circular positions firmly held by the opponent on the broken defense line! The 75mm36l rapid-fire cannon and armor-piercing projectiles arranged above are simply like tanks.

Natural enemy! After losing more than 40 tanks and assault guns of various types, Schlieffen wisely chose to bypass these defense lines and continue deeper. Waiting for the infantry to slowly solve these isolated positions that have been blocked!

The fronts of the armored forces were like sharp swords, making gaps in a wooden pile. However, without heavy artillery and infantry, these gaps were just gaps, and could not break the entire wooden pile! And then the reaction came

The British began to use anti-tank artillery to delay Germany

attack, and in order to consolidate the gap and prevent the opponent from taking advantage of it, the Germans also slowed down and waited for a large number of infantry support. In order to support the three armored divisions, the German Army tilted its most elite troops to the north, but the speed of travel increased

The differences make this front always incoherent.

The British were unable to eat these three armored divisions, and at the same time, the last elite German troops were stuck in the wooden pile like a sharp sword and could not be pulled out! Schlieffen's worry became

In reality, my plan for a quick victory has failed. The investment of all the elite troops did not exchange for the road to Paris, but was held back. The two sides have entered a war of attrition to see who can persist to the end!

And at this critical juncture, the French took action! After once again deploying troops from the center line, the French army on the front line was strengthened again. A heavy group of 700,000 French troops was ready to attack on the German left! Peng Yi didn't care about that at all.

What about the 100,000 lone troops and the elite troops? After losing their supplies, they are no longer a bunch of dead dogs. After leaving 100,000 troops to surround the opponent, Peng Yi commanded the remaining 600,000 French troops to rush towards Germany's exposed left wing like a tide.

go!

At this time, some of the elite German troops were surrounded, some were firmly restrained by the British troops, and the rest were ordinary troops. Facing the French army, which had superior numbers and firepower, the main force of the German army was in crisis! However, Schlieffen

Without giving up, he began to resist step by step, and the layers of defense gradually consumed the French military power. However, the German army, which was already showing fatigue at this time, was no longer as brave as it was after more than a month of fighting!

Just when Peng Yi thought the situation was decided, Schlieffen, with a livid face, pushed a chess piece representing an armored division to the three armored divisions confronting the British. Then the four armored divisions turned and faced the 10 surrounded

Germany's elite army division rushed forward! But this move caught Peng Yi by surprise

And! It is true that the German right wing cannot destroy the British in a short time, but it is also difficult for the British to organize forces to fight back. Therefore, the 4 armored divisions have to leave, and no one can stop them. This elite team quickly cooperates with the 10 German vanguard divisions.

After reuniting, they began to attack the French left wing!
Chapter completed!
