"Looks like the Russians are still going to wrestle with us. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Looking at the situation map of the two sides that the staff officers had just remarked on the sand table in front of him, Prince Ruprecht couldn't help but smile dumbly.

Situationally, the Russian Sixth Army was ready to relieve the Fifth Army. Seven main divisions and three border garrison divisions, the latter of which is a regional defense force, have also been temporarily added to the Sixth Army. Although they did not have many troops, they were said to have been strengthened by the heavy weapons of the border garrison.

And the Bavarian side also completed the assembly. Three rapid assault divisions were deployed to the front line, followed by three rapid divisions and two ordinary divisions, including a Czech rapid division. In line with the concept of training the team and improving combat effectiveness, it has been added to the attack sequence.

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

"Personally, I feel that it is enough to act according to the plan last time, the Russian troops have no resistance to us, we can easily tear open the gap, and then divide the encirclement. It is seen that Russia will not be able to stop our advance until the end of this war. Baron Schmidt said very easily.

"Wouldn't it be too boring to just repeat the old tactics?" The prince's brow furrowed slightly. "I'm going to change the way we play, maybe now our tactics can be invincible in Poland, which is small in the front. But when we invade Ukraine and Belarus, the battle lines between the two sides are thousands of kilometers wide, and the troops will be quite scattered, and even if they penetrate a point, the killing of the Russian army will be very limited. ”

"So, this time I'm going to do an experiment and improve our tactics. Do you have any comments? Ruprecht asked.

"If it is only against the Russians, then the rapid division itself can also break through the opponent's defense, we can completely increase the width of the attack, and deploy two more rapid divisions next to the three assault divisions in the front, so that our troops can break the opponent's defense line like a hammer in an instant." Calyput first said that this time the performance of the heavily armed Calyput was not good, and while Schmidt was soaring, Calyput was just sweeping the tail behind, which gave him a sense of dissatisfaction.

"If it can be easily broken through, then the role of the assault division will be to penetrate the depth of the opponent. For the enemy in shallow positions, it is enough to hand it directly to General Calyput. Schmidt said.

"Nice idea. Replace the original one-point breakthrough tactic with a multi-point breakthrough, relying on more breakthroughs and a wider front to crush the opponent's defense. This already has the meaning of a large-scale in-depth operation in later generations. The prince said in his heart.

Of course, it's just a shape. When the assault echelon breaks through the position, it is not in a hurry to continue the assault but expands to both sides, and then the development echelon attacks in depth, besieges the opponent's main force and kills the reinforcements. And the reserves are used to plug leaks, plus the Air Force and Airborne Forces. Form a frontal attack surface of tens or even hundreds of kilometers.

And in order to adapt to the vast battlefield on the Eastern Front, a simple point assault must also be transformed into a multi-point assault. Of course, this is based on the fact that the enemy's strength density is relatively low and the defense is not strong, if the opponent's equipment level and strength are the same as their own, then it is better to honestly concentrate their forces to fight a little.......

The victory in the first phase of the battle greatly increased Prince Ruprecht's confidence, so he decided to play a game this time to see if he could get the situation in the middle and north of the Eastern Front as soon as possible, after all, judging from the current timetable, Germany was about to take the whole of Belgium, and soon it was about to go to war with the French, and the Kaiser and Moltke Jr. would transfer part of the elite of the Bavarian Army to the west. The prince didn't want to let the battle on his side be half and half drawn.

So, after some re-planning, the formation of the troops changed, and two fast divisions and one assault division of Calipt went to the front, so that the front line had 6 whole divisions, and the second echelon was all ordinary divisions. After the first echelon smashed the opponent's defensive line, the second echelon entered the battlefield and was responsible for dividing, encircling and expanding the breach. At the same time, in order to ensure the speed of the offensive of the troops, the Bavarian Corps re-planned the logistics and transport forces, and some of the vehicles allocated to the shallow offensive troops were withdrawn to ensure that the troops attacking in depth could be adequately supplied.

At the same time, the Bavarian Air Force has also been organized, considering that the defense capability of the Russians is really poor, so the support for the front-line troops will be placed in a secondary position, and the bombing of Russian targets in depth and transportation hubs will be the main task, plus 4 bomber squadrons transferred from Bohemia, in the battle plan codenamed Black Lightning, the Bavarian Air Force has concentrated a total of 11 bomber squadrons, a total of 244 K-4 bombers!

"Such a large-scale attack may be a bit more expensive for our supplies. Especially with fuel resources, if we don't want to use our reserves, our offensive should be delayed for 2 weeks. Lieutenant General Sainz, who was in charge of logistics, reported to Prince Ruprecht.

"Now Romania is still neutral, we can still get fuel from Romania, don't worry, let's follow the plan discussed at the meeting." Ruprecht thought for a moment and said, this plane Romania still chose neutrality for the time being, so Germany can still get fuel more easily. There is no need to transport by rail and water from the Middle East. So for the reserve of fuel, the prince is not very worried.

With the absolute superiority of military strength on the frontal battlefield, the well-prepared transportation and logistics system, and the constant supply of fuel, Ruprecht was prepared for the upcoming offensive, and he thought of the possible moves of the Russians, and the long-range artillery transferred from the garrison area could be a little troublesome, and these were handled by the air force and mobile artillery. Two Russian armies to the north could be reinforced to the south? It doesn't matter, bomber units will bomb key transportation hubs. Reinforcements from the Russian army group on the southern front that is confronting Austria-Hungary? This is not a problem, they are too far away, and if they come, the daylily will be cold.

As for the Sixth Army on the front? Hehe, pinching a piece is not enough to fight, and Ruprecht always feels that this battle is as stable as a dog. But it turns out 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!
