564 Magnificent Diagonal Tactics

"Calm down! In any case, they are still two kilometers away, and our army has a numerical advantage!" the commander of the 1 regiment kept his senses.

"The whole regiment checks the guns in thirty seconds!" Cloth the flag, report the position of the enemy, and order the first and second flanks to outflank the enemy!" He quickly accepted the reality and began to calculate a new victory - three wings entered the combat position, nine divisions were in perfect formation, and they already had the conditions to eat the enemy alone, what were they afraid of?

The other seven regiment commanders also quickly came to their senses under the demonstration of their colleagues, and began to quickly convey orders, check equipment, adjust formation, and prepare to eat the Sacred Song Army on the opposite side.

Then the earth began to shake, and the overwhelming sound of horses' hooves came from the west side. The French on the first flank looked at each other, and they saw their comrades' bayonets vibrating like tuning forks. The high-frequency and violent vibrations of the earth are a long-awaited experience, one that can only be brought by the vanishing Heavy Knights - if the earth trembles when the tanks advance, then the earth rises when the Knights charge.

The French had a sense of foreboding. The clearer and stronger the tremor they felt, the more the Order had completed its detour and was rapidly approaching.

"Signal man, report the position of the enemy cavalry!" shouted the commander of the 8th regiment in a heart-rending manner. He was on the periphery of the eastern flank, and if the cavalry rushed over, he was the sacrifice of the brunt.

"Can't observe the cavalry position!" the signal corps, who occupied the high ground, was also desperate.

"Transform into a forest of bayonets! Defend the cavalry! Move! Move!" 8 Regiment Commander heard about the shock of the German Knights. He decided just in case. The formation of the well-trained 8th regiment immediately melted and turned into a hollow quadrangular formation in the creeping with bayonets in unison, a classic defensive cavalry formation.

Immediately afterwards, the commander of the 8th regiment made a joke of his own joke - because the 1st regiment began to scream: "The golden spot of light appears on ......the western plain! The third flank! Their target is the third flank!"

For a long time, the cavalry was on the west side, and the commander of the 8th regiment had a false alarm.

Hearing that the target of the cavalry's attack was friendly forces, everyone breathed a sigh of relief before solemnly performing their duties. Hoarse military orders continued to spread, and the signal troops rushed to the commanding heights with all their might, sending flags to the division headquarters. But on the whole, the nine regiments on the edge of the heights did not move - because the infantry advanced slowly, and by the time they moved to the position of the third flank, it was estimated that the battle was over. Therefore, their focus is on the Sacred Song Army, which is two kilometers in front of them, and the countermeasure is to recharge their energy and wait for work. As for the transfer and advancement of positions, it is necessary to consult the division headquarters.

At this time, the second flank also waved torches and came with flags, claiming that German infantry had appeared behind the hills ahead, and it was expected that the short battle would be half an hour later.

The division headquarters passed the front flag, and as soon as it was summed up, the truth was immediately revealed, and it turned out that Frederick's main forces had moved in advance to the rear of the hills below the heights, and had been on standby all night outside the range of artillery strikes. The enemy had apparently heard Sebas's gunfire, so they were on guard.

Marshal Bazin received the summary report, and his eyes suddenly narrowed in disappointment. He felt like he might have lost his eyes.

The young man named Frederick was obviously a contestant with a story, otherwise how could he become more suspicious than the old fox at a young age. "It's the type that doesn't live long. Marshal Bazin narrowed his eyes and cursed.

Now, the first, second, and third flanks have all detected the enemy's situation, and they all claim that they "have to engage the enemy in half an hour," and the decisive battle is imminent. Due to the cover of darkness and the hilly terrain, Marshal Bazin was unable to observe the distribution of Frederick's forces. It was nerve-wracking for him.

But one thing is very clear: the French army has a large superiority in strength. No matter how Frederick distributed his forces, his soldiers had to bear the pressure of being one-three.

And the key information is also clear: the world's only remaining noble knights are clearly on the west side, and are hurrying towards the third flank infantry division, proving that Frederick's main force is on the west side of the high ground - this information is credible, because the armor of the knights emits a defensive glow called "holy light", and the light spot effect cannot be concealed.

Since the intelligence is so clear, it is possible to organize an effective response. According to the principle of oblique attack, the third wing army on the west should be ordered to enter a defensive posture, and the second wing army on the east should be ordered to take an aggressive posture, and then the cavalry division should be mobilized to make a detour to the east, cooperate with the infantry on the east side to complete the outflanking, quickly defeat the German army on the east side, and then kill the German army from the oblique stab to the west side, so that the German army on the road will be attacked on both sides, forming a "oblique attack condition", and the German army will collapse.

In this way, it would also prevent the light cavalry division from coming into direct contact with the German heavy cavalry and avoid a rout.

"It's a perfect application of the oblique theory. When Marshal Bazin was thinking, he would raise his chin high and repeatedly review his strategy with a blank face: "It is only necessary to mobilize the armored brigade to support the Third Wing Army and form a fortress line to effectively suppress the advance of the German infantry division on the western flank." As long as the enemy's infantry division on the western flank is unable to advance, the western front can defend for a long time, and it can wait for the eastern front to form a 'diagonal' advantage. Moreover, cavalry without infantry support is shit, if the three hundred knights on the west side dare to charge two divisions and one brigade, then they will wait for the jade to break. ”

In this way, the offensive task is distributed, not only has a clear point of attack to win, but also the defense is also very solid, and it is conservatively estimated that the battle will be ended within two hours, and a huge victory will be achieved without precedent, and it may even end the state of breakthrough and turn the main battlefield into the stage of strategic counteroffensive.

Bazin was sure that he would be the cover image of the history books.

His tone was flat, but he assigned more than twenty orders with clarity and certainty. The cavalry of the communications platoon scattered in all directions, conveying the marshal's decision to the limbs of the army.

In the dark night, the French cavalry division carried a dense number of torches, galloping evenly over the dark wilderness, and the dense fire light forced back the thick night and quickly moved eastward. At the same time, the Second Wing Army on the Eastern Front also played military music, stepped on the rapid drumbeat, and quickly approached the German army in the shadows. This kind of march is not only murderous, but also fearless.

They knew very well that the German army on the eastern front was only a feint attack force, and the main force of the German army was actually fighting with the knights on the western flank. So with the support of cavalry divisions, the German army on the Eastern Front can be said to be on the verge of collapse.

The oblique attack theory emphasizes the degree of "defeat". Whoever crushes the enemy's flank first will be able to outflank the other way, creating an oblique advantage. And this advantage can increase your own morale hundreds or thousands of times, amplify the fear of the enemy, and make the balance of victory quickly tilt.

The oblique strike theory is the first theory in military history that can match spiritual superiority with material superiority. The application of oblique tactics has made war an art. Bazin and Frederick, as the military brains of powerful countries, have in-depth research and summaries of oblique tactics.

Therefore, the generals of the Second Wing Army had confidence in victory. They were not only excited, but even a little anxious, eager to win the infantry feat, and their morale was unprecedentedly high.

The morale of the French army was at its peak. ()
