Chapter 1935 powerless

The reason is very simple. The German ground has formed a truly reliable armored assault group! This is something that the British and French have not had, or that they have achieved it on some secondary battlefields, but unfortunately, they do not have this ability now!

From the perspective of God, Britain and France experienced a fatal strategic mistake in the previous year's war. Britain and France put a large amount of precious technical equipment, such as bombers, tanks, armored vehicles and heavy artillery, into the Balkan battlefield and Asia Minor.

Of course, you can find countless reasons, for example, after the Russians experienced the Polish Pocket Battle, they lost millions of troops. They were on the verge of destruction, so Britain and France had to restrain the German troops and give Russia a breathing time to win. But there is one problem that cannot be avoided, that is, in the Balkans and Asia Minor, the Allies fought a war of attrition with their opponents in extremely unfavorable circumstances! Especially in the half-year melee in Asia Minor, the Allies lost too much technical equipment!

In the Eastern Mediterranean battlefield, the troops of both sides may not be too large, but they concentrated the most elite combat corps. The Bavarian Legion is the leader of the entire German army. The Bavarian army who came to Asia Minor is the leader of the leader! Here, the Bavarian Legion invested in the most advanced technical weapons, including wolf tanks, j4 fighters, swallow monoplane fighters and k6 bombers in a large scale for the first time!

Then, the French fought a mobile war at the highest level in the entire World War with their own understanding and the Bavarian Legion with time travelers. Then I won’t say much about the result. Although Bavaria encountered some difficulties in the entire battle, it eventually wiped out the most elite armored cluster of the British and French coalition forces! If the armored force was calculated, it would not be much weaker than the armored force of the British and French Legion on the Western Front.

Then, after losing a lot of technical equipment and the combat effectiveness of the entire army suffered heavy bleeding, the British and French coalition forces, who were lucky, launched another offensive battle in the winter! The equipment that could have been used to accumulate for several months was consumed on the dry and hard land in winter. Therefore, after many strategic judgment errors, neither the British nor the French army had the ability to accumulate a powerful armor cluster for defense and counterattack.

Marshal Heg valued the role of tanks very much. When most people only regarded tanks as an infantry weapon to cover infantry breakthroughs, Marshal Heg had already thought that this weapon would rise to the strategic and tactical level and become a key weapon. In Asia Minor, the steel spearhead of the Bavarian Legion broke the defense line of Britain and France. Even if the British and French coalition had infantry and rapid-fire guns that had absolutely the absolute advantage, they could not annihilate the small group of German tanks at the breakthrough.

"These steel giant beasts are like armor-breaking cones, easily piercing our defense line, and tanks will completely crush the combination of infantry and artillery that has been popular since the Napoleon era. The outcome of a war will no longer depend on the strength of the troops and the number of artillery, and high-tech equipment will play a crucial role." He wrote in Hege's diary.

It is precisely because of this awareness that Heg realized the dilemma of the British army in the future. That is, even if you have thousands of artillery, if the Germans concentrate 1,000 tanks to attack, how can you defend? The German artillery is now larger than the British. There are certain advantages in artillery techniques. When the artillery is suppressed, the German armored troops can easily tear open the front line composed of trenches, barbed wire, machine guns, and flat-fired cannons of the British. Although the British also have 800 tanks, look at the German wolf pack and then look at their own MK series tanks. The result can only be hehe.

After realizing this, Heg was very worried about the current situation of the British army. The seemingly huge British army was just a fat pig to be slaughtered under the attack of the Germans. The bunker was dead and the artillery was semi-fixed. The British army lacked mobile combat power would only be divided little by little, surrounded until finally annihilated! Even the British could not even run! The so-called dead horse was treated as a living horse, in the end, Heg could only place hope on Trenchard's air power that could delay for a while.

"You realize the powerful role of the armored forces on the army. You must also understand the significance of the Air Force? For the safety of the 1.6 million British troops, my Air Force also needs to maintain a high combat effectiveness. I will launch some restraining attacks, but I must keep my aircraft fleet above a safe benchmark. In addition, the fuel consumption of the Air Force is very terrifying. I need at least 1,500 tons of fuel every day. This must be guaranteed. (not only the aircraft but also the equipped vehicles.)" Hager said this, and Marshal Trenchard could only make some concessions.

"Okay, I will try my best to ensure it. However, the fuel consumption must not exceed 1,800 tons. Otherwise, even I may have to ride a horse." After thinking for 2 minutes, General Hege expressed his support. Fuel is another concern of General Hege. In fact, the entire British Expeditionary Force in France has never been in stock for more than 15 days, and the lowest time is even 7 days!

You should know that this number of days is still calculated based on the vehicles consumed normally during peacetime. If the battle breaks out, General Heg can only pay attention to the Navy's aviation fuel depot. (At this time, the same fuel used for the aircraft engine and the car gasoline engine.)

Although the British army mainly used horses as a means of road maneuvering, the strategic maneuver of the troops relied on trains. However, all tanks still needed fuel. Now, except for a very small number of heavy artillery units that needed to be towed by tractors or vehicles, almost all fuel should be given priority to armored forces. Therefore, General Heg also specifically emphasized the consumption of fuel.

After some bargaining, Trenchard finally decided to formulate a limited attack plan. This time, Royal Air Force will avoid the Germans' key fortification airports, troop stations, and supply bases. They will no longer enter German controlled airspace according to fixed routes. The British bomber troops set their targets on major transportation lines, and these transportation lines that stretch hundreds of kilometers and thousands of kilometers continue to maintain the supply of the front line like human arteries. Therefore, the British attack aircraft group will freely attack targets they think are valuable.

Once there is randomness and uncertainty, it will be difficult for the Germans to ambush their opponents again. Of course, such an attack will at most cause chaos, and the real damage will be relatively limited!
