Chapter 1582 Mobile Combat

"General, we are already 60 kilometers away from the infantry units on both wings. The air strikes between us and the main force are too large!" said a staff officer, Xia Fei, holding the map team.

"However, the Germans are entangled with our infantry units, aren't we? We used infantry to drag the last ace of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Our troops are no longer able to compete with. As long as we can get off this station, we can completely cut off the retreat route and supply lines of the 50,000 German troops. Well, war is always solved by attack, and positional warfare is just a mediocre method!" Xia Fei looked at the tanks and transport vehicles in front of him and felt very comfortable. However, in a place where the French could not see, the addition of a new force caused some changes in the situation on the entire battlefield!

"Earl, the French did not fight hard with General Secker. Their most elite troops had already passed Secker's troops and began to move towards Biletic in the rear!" At this time, Earl Schmidt, who was in Sakalia, was commanding the first batch of Bavarian legions entering the battlefield. There were a total of 2 wolf tank battalions, 4 so-called mechanized infantry battalions equipped with various armored vehicles and semi-tracked vehicles, plus some other units, forming the main force of this German army! In terms of quantity and quality, it would definitely not be able to defeat the French army of two divisions!

"Where is the exact location of the two French troops?" asked Count Schmidt.

"The North Line should be faster. Their detours are closer, while the South Line should be slower. If nothing unexpected happens, the North Line will meet the French the day after tomorrow. If the South Line, it may have to wait 4 days!" The staff officer thought for a while and said.

"Very good. We can reach Biletik in at most two days! After all, Sekt's troops are regular German troops. They will have many flat-fire cannons. It is not a big problem to temporarily hold the French army on the northern line. After we arrive at our destination, we go south directly to deal with the French armored division on the southern line. Well, that's it!" Earl Schmidt finalized the plan.

Before the battle began, the prince detained the newly arrived Bavarian Legion to defend against the possible deep interlude of the French. Once Von Secker's troops entered the position, it would be difficult for them to change their deployment. Once they left the position, they would be seeking death. Therefore, the prince did not expect Von Secker to block the interlude of the French team behind. This task was too difficult for him, so the prince decided to help him block the French tanks back!

"It's a pity that this time, our troops are at most a division-level battle group. It's a pity that we can't engage in an epic armored battle with the French." Looking at the wolf-type tanks behind us, as well as the large number of armored vehicles and truck guns behind, Earl Schmidt said with regret. Although the tanks have been put into the battlefield in large quantities, the movement of tanks between the tanks has not happened. The Bavarian Legion's tank battle on the Western Front was head-on and to the Eastern Front? It seems that there were no tanks for the Russians, so Earl Schmidt still attaches great importance to this battle.

"It should be noted that although the opponent has only one armored division in name, the force actually has more troops than one armored division, because the armored troops transported by the French are divided into two and a half armored divisions according to the organization, and the additional half of them are directly dismantled into battalions and assigned to two built-in armored divisions. At the same time, in order to strengthen the firepower of the attack this time, the French also classified some truck and artillery units that were originally infantry into the armored division. In other words, all the artillery more than 3 inches in this French army have extremely strong mobility. In addition, the opponent seems to have the presence of destroying wolf tanks, so the pressure of head-on battle is very high." Lieutenant General Eric, who also came to the front line, reminded.

"So, the key to our victory lies in speed! Attacking the troops on the march is always much better than attacking the troops entering the position." Earl Schmidt said.

Half an hour later, the Count and his command team boarded the westward train, and the Bavarian Task Force Armored Division embarked on their journey in Turkey. However, in the south, the Fifth Armored Division on the Southern Line, commanded by Xia Fei, was also moving towards the target area.

The Germans discovered the French movement through aerial reconnaissance, but unfortunately the French did not find the Germans at the first time, because the German armored troops were transported by trains at night. Relying on the convenience brought by the constant speed of the railway, the Germans could approach the position quickly and concealedly. Therefore, a large-scale armored movement war was about to begin in southern Bileidik. This was also the first showdown between the armored troops of both sides in the late World War I!

"The Frenchman's progress seemed to be a little fast!" When night fell on the third day, the advance troops of the Bavarian Legion had already arrived in Biletic. At this time, they could already hear the rumbling cannons coming from the north. It should be that the advance troops of the French had arrived. Mike, who was commanding the advance troops, was holding lunch boxes with his subordinates while reading the battle report.

"As fastest, at noon the day after tomorrow, the French army on the southern line will arrive at the periphery. We will be at least 2 days away with each other. Our large army will arrive tomorrow. In less than a day, it will be difficult for our battle group to fully unfold. Moreover, the French may carry long-range artillery. If they fight hard on the railway line, it would be awful." After Mike said that, he put the lunch box containing the "portable pasta" on the ground, picked up the spoon and ordered it on the map.

"We must take the initiative, go tonight and follow the traffic line, and we can encounter opponents tomorrow morning! With the cover of the night, the French cannot know our mobilization. When the French march, we will beat them up once!" Major General Mike expressed his thoughts.

"With a guide, it is not a big problem to advance 30 to 40 kilometers in one night, but our supply vehicles are probably not enough. Therefore, the armored battalion we belong to can only be dispatched at most half of the time. The remaining ones must be compensated by wheeled armored vehicles and semi-tracked cannon vehicles. Ambushing is OK, but if we have to fight to the death head-on, it may not be possible." An officer said.

"That's half! Take the best tanks and the most elite crew. This time we have only one goal, that is, kill as many French people as possible!" Major General Mike said, "By the way, bring the air liaison officers and ask them to arrange reconnaissance planes immediately. We must always figure out the French's mobilization and troops. By the way, we must ensure the safety of our heads!"
