In the following two weeks, Peng Yi, who came to Germany, and the staff officers of the Chinese Army Officer Corps and the General Staff of the German Imperial Army conducted several exercises on the future warring situation in the Far East. Although Xu Jie was a traverser, the preparation and operation of the war at that time was far inferior to that of Germany, a country ready to fight at any time, and the original battle in Beiyang was just a town to compete with the opponent, and if it was expanded to the whole country, planning from the perspective of a national strategy was not something Xu Jie could do alone! Learning is a must!

And there is a reason why the Germans have devoted all their efforts to explaining this set of the most perfect and scientific deduction methods in the world today, and this reason lies in the next stage of the deduction project! The whole deduction assumes that 15 years later, the alliance led by Germany, Austria and Italy will fight a decisive battle with the alliance led by Britain, France and Russia on the European battlefield. Because this is at the headquarters of the Army, there will be no naval involvement, and the entire battlefield will be divided into two parts: the Eastern Front and the Western Front. On the German, Austrian, and Italian side was the German General Staff headed by Schlieffen, while on the British, French, and Russian side was the Chinese imitation German officer corps headed by Peng Yi.

In the first round of the exercise, Schlieffen decided to launch an offensive against France from the direction of Belgium according to his original Schlieffen plan. Although it was already known that the French had built a well-established defense system on the Franco-Belgian border, Schlieffen wanted to repeat his plan considering that the route passed through the plains and Belgium had convenient transportation channels! It's like Schlieffen's son. After more than ten years of hard work, if you don't give it a try, no one will be reconciled!

After the start of the official engagement on D-Day. While using the defense line established on the Franco-German border and the steep terrain to delay the French army's attack on Alsace Lorraine, Schlieffen concentrated the main German army and began to attack Belgium, and convenient transportation allowed Germany to concentrate hundreds of thousands of troops to invade Belgium in a short period of time! In the face of the sharp German advances, Belgium was simply unable to resist, and even with the help of the French and British armies, the Belgian army was still losing ground one after another!

Except for the 4 days of being blocked in the fortress of the scorching sun, the German attack was relatively smooth, but at this time. Because of the transportation problems, the supply efficiency of the Germans has begun to slowly decline, and the reason is simple. While the British, French and Belgian armies were resisting one after another, Belgium planned to carry out scorched earth resistance, and began to systematically and completely destroy the Belgian transportation system, and they pulled out the railroad tracks. Blow up the station. And blow up the dam, turning Pingyuan into a swamp. The German troops had to move through the mud without a railway, and the traffic was not as good as it was in 1870!

On the one hand, the supply speed is slowed down, and on the other hand, the attacking troops are greatly consumed, 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 adds to the difficulty of replenishment, and this is just an appetizer. The real horror of the consumption is the consumption of ammo when attacking the defensive line!

Originally, during the Franco-Prussian War, a soldier could carry 200 rounds of ammunition and fight for six weeks. But now, almost 10,000 rounds of ammunition carried by a 7-man machine gun crew can be exhausted in 2 days! THE CONSUMPTION OF KRUPP ARTILLERY, WHICH IS FAMOUS ALL OVER THE WORLD, IS EVEN MORE AMAZING, A 210MM HEAVY HOWITZER CAN USE UP MORE THAN 100 ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION IN ONE DAY, AND THE AMMUNITION OF 1000 ROUNDS PER GUN THAT IS EXPECTED TO LAST UNTIL THE END OF THE WAR BEFORE THE WAR CAN ONLY LAST FOR LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AT MOST! This is still a case of guaranteed traffic! In fact, each artillery gun ran out of ammunition early, and the subsequent ammunition did not keep up!

But even so, the German army still tore apart the line of defense to Paris, under the idea of concentrating elite troops and artillery, the Germans concentrated the most elite troops together, made gaps in the defense line, and then continued to advance, handing over the task of expanding the results to the troops behind, but even so, at a distance of 80 kilometers from Paris, the German elite troops had been exhausted, and they had no ammunition and supplies to keep them going, and what was more dangerous was that The French had already drawn a large number of troops from the center line to attack from the southwest, while the British had crossed the English Channel and attacked from the northwest! The total of 800,000 troops of the two armies was clamped like a huge pincer to the German salient!

"General Peng Yi, that's it." Looking at his opponent's moves, Schlieffen sneered. The German elite in the salient began to gradually shrink their positions, while the German army behind began to accelerate its march! The British and French armies successfully completed the encirclement of the elite 10 divisions of the German front as expected! This scene is completely according to Peng Yi's prediction, and at the same time, it is also according to Schlieffen's prediction!

"The bait of 10 divisions is rich enough, that's why you will be fooled." During the break, Schlieffen said to Peng Yi with a smile. "The bait of 10 divisions is abundant, but it's not worth my effort! Believe me, in the next few weeks, Germany's most elite army will die on French soil! Peng Yiha said with a smile.

The scene at this time was really good for Peng Yi. The British and French armies have already encircled the 10 divisions of the German lone army that lacked heavy artillery support, and at this time the German follow-up troops are still 2 days away from the avant-garde, and the distance between the two sides is not too far, only about 30 miles, but you must know that the field corps that was dominated by chariots and horses in those years will not travel more than 15 miles at most in a day, especially on enemy soil, otherwise it means the loss of heavy firepower and the lack of sufficient supplies! And in 2 days, enough 800,000 British and French troops to eat and wipe out these 10 divisions of the lone German army!

Both sides laughed, Peng Yi saw the German Army numbers of 10 divisions disappear from the military table, and Schlieffen saw the flanks of Britain and France! One month after the start of the war, Schlieffen finally found a great opportunity! A chance to make the Anglo-French coalition irreversible! Schlieffen played his killer shot at this moment! A whole 3 divisions of armored units for the arrows quickly killed the flanks of the British! The fundamental reason why the French chose to attack the British instead of the French was that the French follow-up troops were so close to the front that it was difficult to cut through. And three divisions with more than 400 tanks of various types and other auxiliary vehicles of the steel army are enough to cover a distance of 30 miles in a day! Before Britain and France could launch a general attack, the Germans hit the flank of the British army with a heavy punch!

The British Army, which had just landed and had not yet gained a firm foothold, was a little dazed at this moment, and the fast-moving, bullet-defying monsters spat deadly flames and rampaged across the plains. The 4 British divisions responsible for flank protection were not at all a united enemy, and were directly crushed to pieces by the speeding tracks! At this moment, Schlieffen seemed to see the goddess of victory beckoning to him! But then, Schlieffen realized that something was wrong!

Although Schlieffen's armored iron fist successfully tore the opponent's defense line to shreds, there were still several circular positions firmly held by the opponent on the broken defense line! The 75MM36L rapid-fire gun arranged above with armor-piercing shells is simply the natural enemy of the tank! After losing more than 40 tanks and assault guns of various kinds, Schlieffen wisely chose to bypass these lines and continue deeper. Wait for the infantry to slowly settle these isolated positions that have been blocked!

The blades of the armored forces are like sharp swords that make gaps in a stake, but in the absence of heavy artillery and infantry, these gaps are just gaps, and they cannot break the entire stake! The British, who then reacted, began to use anti-Japanese artillery to delay the German attack, and in order to consolidate the gap and prevent the other side from taking advantage of the weakness, the Germans also slowed down and waited for a large number of infantry to support. In order to support the three Panzer Divisions, the German Army tilted its most elite units to the north, but the difference in the speed of movement made this front always incoherent.

The British were incapable of eating these 3 armored divisions, and at the same time, the last elite troops of the Germans were stuck in it like a sword that had been split into a stake, unable to pull out! Schlieffen's fears became a reality, his plan for a quick victory had failed, and the investment of all the elite troops was not exchanged for the main road to Paris, but was held back. The two sides have entered a war of attrition, see who can hold out to the end!

And at this critical juncture, the French moved! After the transfer of troops from the middle line again, the French army on the front line was strengthened again, and a whole 700,000 French heavy army group was ready to attack on the left flank of the Germans! Peng Yi didn't care about the 100,000 lone troops at all, what about the elite troops? Not a pack of dead dogs after losing supplies? After leaving 100,000 troops to surround the opponent, Peng Yi commanded the remaining 600,000 French troops to rush towards the exposed left flank of Germany like a tide!

At this time, part of the elite of the German army was surrounded, part of it was firmly pinned down by the British army, and the rest were ordinary troops. However, Schlieffen did not give up, he began to resist step by step, and the layers of fortifications gradually consumed the military strength of the French, but at this time, the German army, which was already tired, was no longer as brave as it was after more than 1 month of fighting!

Just when Peng Yi thought that the general situation had been decided, Schlieffen pushed a chess piece representing the armored division to the three armored divisions facing Britain, and then the four armored divisions turned around and rushed towards the 10 German elite army divisions that were surrounded! And this trick surprised Peng Yi! It is true that the German right flank could not destroy Britain in a short time, but in the same way, it was difficult for Britain to organize forces to counterattack, so 4 armored divisions were leaving, and no one could stop them, and this elite quickly cooperated with 10 German avant-garde divisions to converge and began to attack the left flank of the French army!
