Chapter 31 Anticipate the Enemy's Opportunity

[[[CP|W:742|H:461|A:L|U:http://file1.qidian.com/chapters/201311/24/3024026635209187814580143573040.jpg]]]] "Boom! boom!"

"Your Excellency, the vanguard of the Imperial ** Infantry of the Western Defense Line has arrived at the edge of the northern highlands, and there is a large group of 1,000 men, and the enemy is now building artillery positions, and there are six cannons on sight, and Master Roy asks if you can give artillery support to attack the enemy's artillery positions. ”

"Tell her that the artillery can't move for the time being, that they only have six infantry guns in front of the enemy, and that if they rely on the fortifications, they can't even withstand this, and I will let the militia replace them. ”

"Yes"

"Boom! boom!"

In the distance, the sound of high-explosive mines from Gallia could be heard one after another, and it seemed that the enemy's vanguard on the eastern road had reached the minefield.

"Report to the commander! The enemy's eastern first line has reached the effective range of the artillery, and the artillery captain asks if you will open fire. ”

"Tell him that the cannon has what he hits, but not now. ”

"Yes!"

"Report! The regular troops on the front line have spotted a large force of enemy armored troops, and Major Les has requested artillery fire and chariot units to support the strike. ”

"Tell him that the chariot can't move now. The cannon is not yet the time. Let him hold on, his troops have 300 rockets, put the enemy chariots in to fight. ”

"Yes!"

"Report! The Volunteer Brigade of the Eastern Position reports that a large number of enemy troops have appeared in the northern area of the Reims River, and the enemy troops are assembling on the eastern front of our army, and it is preliminarily estimated that there is a wing!"

"Got it, let's go down"

It took less than six hours from the time the alarm was raised to contact the enemy's vanguard, and in six hours the enemy's troops moved in three directions towards Lando BarΓ§a.

"In half an hour, it was discovered that the enemy army had big movements in three directions......"

Looking at the map, Carl muttered to himself

"The western defense line, more than one brigade, the middle, a mechanized wing, and an integrated infantry wing in the east, the emperor ** took out all the troops that could be used almost at once, which is really incredible. ”

In addition to the auxiliary troops of the division and about half of the wing, the 6th Division's capable soldiers are basically pouring out, but this is almost impossible!

Yes, it is rare for an officer to devote all his forces to the attack at once, which would make the whole attack have no room for maneuver

'In war, whoever runs out of reserves first loses. ’

The famous words of the dwarf general emperor in the previous life, although Carl didn't know if this sentence existed in this world, but there was no reason why the officers on the other side didn't understand this truth.

There is no doubt that although the enemy's all-out offensive has begun, it is impossible for the enemy to commit all his forces to attack at the same time in an instant, which is contrary to common sense, let alone ......

'The Emperor's ** Sixth Division has just been eaten by us with two wings, and it is impossible for us to dare to arrogantly launch a decisive attack against us without any retreat and without any reservations!'

"They don't have the guts!"

Tapping the command table with the map, Karl shouted

"Your Excellency, Commander?"

The herald on the side didn't understand what this white-haired and beautiful commander was,

"Two full days have passed since the defeat of the last attack, and the enemy's friendly and neighboring troops are only half a day's journey away from us, but the enemy has not dared to fart for two days, which shows that the enemy's commander was indeed frightened by our last attack and did not dare to move. So what made him dare to open up and attack this time?"

Completely ignoring the adjutant's words, Carl, who was lying on the table, had completely entered a state of thought

"There must be some reason, a reason enough for the frightened Sixth Division to attack again...... What is the reason for this?"

Karl instinctively thought that the enemy had received some new information, but he didn't know it now.

'Intelligence, there's still too little information!'

Carl really felt that the information that he and Lilia had spent two days getting was still too little, too little!

"Report!"

A telegraph operator walked in with a telegram.

Carl thought maybe the answer was coming.

"Read. ”

"In the early morning of the day before yesterday, the emperor suddenly launched an all-out attack on our army on the eastern and southern fronts, and now the vanguard of the emperor's army has occupied the eastern city of Balsa and is heading for the central region of Galia! Gallia Military Headquarters to Lieutenant Colonel Browder, Commander of the City Defense of Lando Barsa. ”

"Hahaha! I see! I finally understand what's going on!"

Just as the telegraph operator had read the telegram, which was actually indistinguishable from the order to retreat, Karl suddenly glanced at the large map and burst out laughing

"I'll just say, why did the Sixth Division suddenly run over in half a day after retracting from Mengsha two days after it retracted into Monsa, it turned out that the trick was here!"

Carl's eyes lit up as he looked at the map and said

"The attack launched by the emperor on the eastern and southern fronts will completely break the possibility of the Gallian army organizing a defensive line on the front line of the Reims River, according to past experience, the Gallian army will instinctively shrink the defensive line according to the orders of the military headquarters after losing in the rear, and withdraw to the southwest front. In that case, the defenders of Landobasa would definitely have no intention of facing the battle, and would only defend passively, so the 6th Division, which was seriously wounded and dying, dared to attack us who had obviously defeated them once! ”

Carl's explanation attracted all the adjutants and heralds around him, and everyone listened intently to the commander's analysis.

It's a very understandable idea, since it's a sure deal, why don't you dare to make a big deal?

That's what the enemy commander thinks at this time

But they didn't know that we were going for their 6th Division in the first place! This was a major mistake in the enemy's strategic judgment!'

"The enemy felt that we would not counterattack at this time, so the attack was so rampant, as soon as they came up, they mobilized the three wings of the main force to attack in an all-round way, and they didn't even come to reconnoiter the attack, they expected that we would not counterattack, so they put on such a position to attack us. The goal must be to occupy Lando BarΓ§a as soon as possible!"

Think clearly about the enemy's strategy and strategy, and all that's left is to see the move and compare with the enemy.

Unknowingly, Karl had already estimated the enemy's overall disposition through speculation, the enemy's lack of reserves, the labor division was far away, the troops were seriously reduced, and the commander-in-chief's tactical level was not too high, and now he was probably sitting in the headquarters daydreaming of capturing Lando Barcelona

"'The three-way army marched together to capture Lando Barcelona with lightning speed, and the Gallian army, which had no intention of facing it, fled in the desert...... 'I just suffered such a big defeat, and I am still dreaming such a big dream, okay, let him dream again!"

When all the enemy's schemes and tactics are exposed to you, then your countermeasures have already been revealed.

"The enemy has made a move, we just have to make a move!"

Looking at the red-and-yellow arrows on the map representing the central armored assault cluster of the enemy, Karl shouted

'I'll start with you!'

"Operator!"

"Yes!"

"Give me the artillery command. ”
