333 flaws
For a whole month, the situation of the entire world war did not change significantly. Rain or snow began to fall in some parts of the north, and the bad weather conditions directly affected the enthusiasm of both sides to commit troops to war.
The demon fleet has been adrift at sea for more than 40 days, making a big circle, and has not yet landed in the southern seas.
And Iran Hill, on the other hand, also gave up the plan of taking the initiative to attack because of the replenishment of ammunition and the adjustment of troops, and honestly recuperated and prepared for a larger-scale follow-up war.
Of course, the decision on where to choose for this follow-up war is still in the hands of Emperor Chris.
At the end of the fourth year of Iran Hill, Chris, as the commander of the three armies of the empire, held a strategic meeting in the war room.
Those present as observers were all first-class military bigwigs with real power, including the Minister of National Defense, the Chief of the General Staff, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force.
The focus of the discussion in this meeting was about the next phase of Alan Hill's attack.
"In order to shorten the length of our defensive line, I propose to launch a limited offensive operation, use the terrain, and save troops." Wagron sat precariously and opened his mouth to set the tone for the meeting.
"The suggestion of the General 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 Luo Kai said straight to the point.
"The Air Force also proposes to put troops into combat in the south, so that they can get rid of the adverse effects of the weather." Butolia also agreed.
It seems that Alan Hill has a very long front, but in reality there are not many directions that can be immediately put into a counterattack. Many units can only hold their positions in their own defense areas, and there are not enough troops to be mobilized to carry out counterattack operations.
On the eastern front, the long coastline and the endless sea make Iran Hill powerful. The Navy is recovering, and the Army cannot go to sea to fight, which makes the counterattack on the Eastern Front 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, an insurmountable obstacle.
Therefore, the 15th Army, the 16th Army, and the 4th Army Group cannot be withdrawn, and even need to be further strengthened!
On the premise that the demons are preparing to land in the southern region, it is impossible for the Empire's 5th Army Group deployed in the southern region to move around.
Even, with only one deployment of the 5th Army Group, everyone was still a little uneasy, worried that the southern region would not be able to withstand the attack of the demon forces.
In the territory of the Norma Empire, the 6th Army Group of Elanhill had just arrived at the front line of the operation, and it had not yet had time to participate in the battle, so it may not be too hasty as the main direction of attack.
Similarly, the distant 9th Army was only assisting Griken in the battle, and it was not very effective to let the 9th Army attack blindly without a good way to close a magic eye.
To sum up, under the precise calculations of the think tanks, it has become a very good choice to take the puppet empire.
Therefore, the differences are all focused on whether to counterattack within the territory of the Eternal Empire or within the territory of the Holy Demon Empire.
If the 2nd Army Group is used to start the counterattack from north to south, with the support of the westward railway, there will be no big problem with logistical supplies, and it can also gain the support of the local Eternal Empire civilians.
Taking the lead in counterattacking in this direction can draw up a plan against the capital of the Eternal Empire, Karan Miks, which has the advantage of having the hope of directly retaking the city and helping the Eternal Empire completely stabilize its position.
Still, Chris prefers another option, a more aggressive one. Because if this plan is successful, Ellan Hill will have an even greater advantage.
This plan is what he calls the "Left Hook Plan". The scale of the entire plan is huge, and it can be said that it is the largest battle plan prepared by Iran Hill after the completion of the battle plan of the Destruction of the Holy Demon Empire.
The complete battle plan was this: with the 1st Army Group, the 3rd Army Group as the spearhead, an attack on the defense line of the puppet empire more than 300 kilometers south of Belivi.
With the cooperation of the follow-up 7th Army, 8th Army, 19th Army, and 20th Army, they attacked the puppet empire occupied area, and then used mountains to cover the flanks and recapture the southern part of the Eternal Empire.
In this way, strategically, Elanhill is equivalent to encircling the entire territory of the Eternal Empire, with a rough estimate of possible 1.5 million puppet troops and other armies.
Cutting off the supply lines of these forces, encircling and annihilating them, could completely paralyze the puppet empire's combat capabilities.
Moreover, in this way, it is still possible to recapture the capital of the Eternal Empire, Karan Meeks, and the effect is no different.
Another advantage of this arrangement is that the main forces of the offensive, the 1st and 3rd Army Groups, and the subsequent 4th Army Groups of the 7th, 8th, 11th and 12th, are all in offensive positions and do not need to be transferred too large-scale.
However, it is not for nothing that there is no electricity, because of the lack of railway support, operating in the southern region of the Holy Demon Empire, and it is 6 army groups and army groups operating together, the pressure on logistics and supply will be very huge.
Remedies are not impossible, there are quite a few sappers and engineering teams for reconstruction in the Holy Demon Empire, and these forces can be immediately mobilized to repair roads and prepare in advance for the attack of the entire front army.
"With this plan, we can shorten the defense line by about 1,000 kilometers and deal a heavy blow to the puppet empire...... And preparations can be made for the war of annihilation next spring. Chris said with a sense of ambition.
Kastner felt that the plan was too big and that coordination would be problematic, so he did not agree with it.
As commander-in-chief of the army, Vagron was in favor of this plan, and his admiration for Chris had reached outrageous proportions. He agreed with Chris's plan, and he was almost irrational.
As a loyal minister, there is no doubt that this state is very good, but as a general who fills in the gaps for His Majesty the Emperor, he inevitably has a sense of powerlessness in this habit.
"There are certainly difficulties, but if you overcome them, the benefits will be greater." Luo Kai looked at the troop configuration on the map and said slowly.
He saw Chris's fingers tapping lightly on the table, a 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 which battle plan to use.
Therefore, at this time, as the chief of the general 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 permits, I suggest we prepare for another month." ”
"Snow is likely next month, and combat operations in the north of the empire will become difficult. The plan to move the 2nd Army Group south was completely ineffective. Wagron was stunned for a moment, looked at Luo Kai and said.
"So, my suggestion is also very clear, since we are not ready to attack south immediately, it is better to wait and let the weather help us make a choice." Luo Kai said with a smile.
This is undoubtedly another risky plan, and in any case, it is possible to miss some fleeting opportunities if you do not move for a month.
However, in the view of the senior management of Iran Hill, who has grasped the strategic initiative, waiting for a month actually has no essential impact.
Give the puppet empire another month, and they still can't muster the forces to consume it head-on with Iran Hill. At the same time, Alan Hill can reduce many unnecessary losses because of better preparation.
Therefore, whether it is Chris, Castena, or even Wagron, they suddenly feel that it is not an intolerable thing to delay the attack for another month.
"Agreed!" The commander-in-chief of the Air Force, Butolia, thought that this was a good idea, and he had another month to deploy his troops, transport ammunition, and prepare everything for war. You know, the current Air Force technology is becoming more and more complex, and more and more preparation work is required.
"Luo Kai's idea is good, we will prepare together according to the two sets of plans, and 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.
Unbeknownst to the puppet empire, Alan Hill has drawn up a battle plan for the next phase. Unbeknownst to them, Ellan Hill had prepared millions of troops for them, ready to encircle and annihilate their forces in the Eternal Empire.
At this moment, the puppet empire was not idle, and after a long period of preparation, they launched an attack on the Norma Empire.
They advanced on the border of the Norma Empire to the west, the capital of the Norma Empire, and dispatched a million-level army in one go.
Originally, the troops of the Norma Empire were on a par with the Kasik Empire under the leadership of Heidi Kannon, and they were no longer able to take care of the security of the western border, but now they were caught off guard by the puppet Empire, so the Norma Empire immediately suffered heavy losses.
The famous general Heidi Canon had to withdraw his troops and join up with the newly arrived 5th Army Group of Irlanhill to prepare for the next phase of defense.
This attack by the puppet empire surprised everyone, and it did create problems for the Allies.
However, although the puppet empire has achieved a series of victories in both the Eternal Empire and the Norma Empire, it has also buried a fatal hidden danger.
The main force of the puppet army is partly in the middle of the Eternal Empire, and the other part is trapped in the western part of the Norma Empire, with more than a million troops deployed on both sides, which is equivalent to opening its chest to Ellan Hill to attack at will.
And this deadly attack channel was right on the offensive path of the 1st Army Group and the 3rd Army Group.
