For a whole month, the situation of the entire world war did not change significantly. Rain or snow began to fall in some areas in the north. The bad weather conditions directly affected the enthusiasm of both sides to invest troops in the war.
The Demon Fleet has been drifting at sea for more than 40 days, making a long circle, and has not yet landed in the southern waters.
As for Eiland Hill, they also gave up the plan of taking the initiative to attack due to replenishing ammunition and adjusting their troops. They honestly recuperated their energy and prepared for a larger follow-up war.
Of course, the decision on where to choose this follow-up war still lies in the hands of Emperor Chris.
At the end of the fourth year of Elanthir, Chris, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the empire, held a strategy meeting in the war room.
Those present were all top military leaders with real power, including the Minister of Defense, the Chief of General Staff, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force.
The focus of the discussion at this meeting was about the offensive focus of Ireland Hill in the next stage.
"In order to shorten the length of our defense line, I suggest launching limited offensive operations, making use of the terrain, and conserving troops." Wagron sat upright and spoke to set the tone for this meeting.
"The recommendation of the staff is to launch an attack in the southern part of the Holy Demon Empire. I will state the benefits of doing so later." Chief of Staff Luo Kai said straight to the point.
"The Air Force also suggested deploying troops to fight in the south, so as to get rid of the adverse effects of the weather." Butolya also agreed.
It seems that the front line of Airan Hill is very long, but in fact there are not many directions that can be immediately launched into a counterattack. Many troops can only hold their positions within their own defense zones, and there are not enough troops to be mobilized for counterattack operations.
On the eastern front, the long coastline and the endless sea leave Elan Hill with nowhere to use its power. The navy is recovering, and the army cannot go to sea to fight, which makes counterattack on the eastern front a joke.
Before the naval fleet is fully formed, all counterattacks on the Eastern Front cannot be carried out. This is an objective fact subject to conditional constraints and an insurmountable obstacle.
Therefore, the 15th Army Group, the 16th Army Group, and the 4th Army Group cannot be deployed, and they even need to be further strengthened!
Under the premise that it is known that the demons are preparing to land in the southern region, the Coria 5th Army Group deployed by the empire in the southern region cannot move arbitrarily.
Even with only one 5th Army Group deployed, everyone was still a little uneasy, worried that the southern region would not be able to withstand the attack of the demonic troops.
In the Norma Empire, Eiland Hill's 6th Army Group has just arrived at the front line of the battle and has not had time to join the battle. It may not be too hasty as the main direction of attack.
Similarly, the distant 9th Army is only assisting Grecken in the battle. Without a good way to close a magic eye, letting the 9th Army attack blindly will not have very good results.
To sum up, under the precise calculations of the think tanks, taking action on the Puppet Empire has become a very good choice.
Therefore, the differences focus on whether to counterattack within the territory of the Eternal Empire or within the territory of the Holy Demon Empire.
If the 2nd Army Group is used to counterattack from north to south, with the support of the westward railway, there will not be much problem in logistical supply, and it can also gain support from the local Eternal Empire civilians.
If you take the lead in counterattacking in this direction, you can formulate a plan for the capital of the Eternal Empire, Calanmix. The advantage is that you can directly retake this city and help the Eternal Empire completely stabilize its position.
However, Chris still likes another plan, another more radical combat plan. Because once this plan succeeds, Eiland Hill's advantage will be even greater.
This plan was called the "Left Hook Plan" by him. The entire plan was huge in scale. It could be said to be the largest combat plan prepared by Ailan Hill after the completion of the combat plan to destroy the Holy Demon Empire.
The complete combat plan is as follows: with the 1st Army Group and the 3rd Army Group as the vanguard, launch an attack on the puppet empire's defense line more than 300 kilometers south of Bellevue.
With the cooperation of the subsequent 7th Army, 8th Army, 19th Army, and 20th Army, they invaded the area occupied by the Puppet Empire, and then used the mountains to cover the flanks to recapture the southern region of the Eternal Empire.
In this way, strategically speaking, Ailan Hill is equivalent to encircling the soldiers in the entire Eternal Empire. It is roughly estimated that there may be 1.5 million puppet troops and other troops.
Cutting off the supply lines of these troops, encircling and annihilating them may completely paralyze the puppet empire's combat capabilities.
Moreover, in this way, the capital of the Eternal Empire, Calamix, can still be recaptured, and the effect will be no different.
Another advantage of this arrangement is that the main offensive forces, the 1st and 3rd Army Groups, as well as the subsequent 7th, 8th, 11th and 12th Army Groups, are all in the offensive position, and there is no need for large-scale mobilization.
However, outgoing calls are not without them. Due to the lack of railway support, operating in the southern region of the Holy Demon Empire, and with six armies and army groups operating together, the logistics supply pressure will be extremely huge.
There are not no remedial measures. There are many engineers and engineering teams in the Holy Demon Empire for reconstruction. These forces can be mobilized immediately to repair roads and prepare in advance for the attack of the entire front army.
"Using this plan, we can shorten the defense line by about 1,000 kilometers and severely damage the puppet empire... and we can prepare for the annihilation war next spring." Chris said confidently.
Kastner felt that this plan was too big and there would be problems in coordination, so he did not agree with this plan.
As the commander-in-chief of the army, Wageron was in favor of this plan. His admiration for Chris had reached an outrageous level. He agreed with all Chris' plans and had almost no sense at all.
As a loyal minister, there is no doubt that this state of affairs is very good, but as a general who checks and corrects deficiencies for His Majesty the Emperor, his habit makes him feel helpless and resigned.
"There are definitely difficulties, but if these difficulties are overcome, the benefits will certainly be greater." Luo Kai looked at the troop allocation on the map and said slowly.
He saw Chris' fingers tapping lightly on the table, which was proof that His Majesty the Emperor was thinking.
This shows that His Majesty the Emperor is also weighing and thinking, and has not made up his mind on which combat plan to use.
Therefore, at this time, as the chief of general staff of the empire, Luo Kai must reflect the value of his existence. So he continued to speak without waiting for Chris to say anything, and said loudly: "If the weather conditions permit, I suggest that we
It will take another month to prepare.”
"Snow is likely to fall next month, and combat operations in the northern part of the empire will become difficult. Then the plan to move the 2nd Army Group south will be completely useless." Wageron was stunned and looked at Luo Kai and said.
"So, my advice is very clear. Since we are not ready to attack south immediately, it is better to wait and let the weather help us make a choice." Luo Kai said with a smile.
This is undoubtedly another risky plan. In any case, if you stand still for a month, you may miss some fleeting opportunities.
However, from the perspective of Alan Hill's senior management, who have taken the strategic initiative, waiting for a month will actually have no essential impact.
Give the puppet empire another month, and they still won't be able to spare the troops to confront Ailan Hill. At the same time, Ailan Hill can reduce many unnecessary losses due to better preparations.
Therefore, whether it was Chris, Kastner, or even Wageron, they suddenly felt that delaying the attack for another month was not an intolerable thing.
"Agree!" Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force Butolya thinks this is a good idea. He still has one month to deploy his troops, transport ammunition, and make all preparations for war. You must know that the current air force technology is becoming more and more complex.
More and more preparation work is required.
"Luo Kai's idea is good. We will prepare two plans together. When the time comes, we will choose which plan to implement based on the weather conditions." Chris glanced at Luo Kai with satisfaction and nodded.
The puppet empire doesn’t know yet, but Ailan Hill has already drawn up a battle plan for the next stage. They don’t know yet, but Ailan Hill has prepared millions of troops for them, preparing to surround their troops in the Eternal Empire.
annihilate.
At this moment, the puppet empire was not idle either. After a long period of preparation, they launched an attack on the Norma Empire.
They advanced towards Nomagas, the capital of the Noma Empire, on the western border of the Noma Empire, and dispatched millions of troops at once.
Originally, the troops of the Norma Empire, led by Heidi Canon, were on a par with the Kashyyyk Empire and were unable to take care of the security of the border on the west. Now they were caught off guard by the puppet empire, so the Norma Empire suffered an immediate loss.
heavy.
The famous general Heidi Canon had to withdraw his troops and join up with the newly arrived 5th Army Group of Airan Hill to prepare for the next stage of defense.
This attack by the puppet empire caught everyone's expectations and indeed caused trouble for the Allies.
However, although the puppet empire has achieved a series of victories in both the Eternal Empire and the Norma Empire, it has also laid a fatal hidden danger.
Part of the main force of the puppet army is in the middle of the Eternal Empire, and the other part is trapped in the western part of the Norma Empire. More than a million troops have been deployed on both sides, which is equivalent to opening the chest for Eilanhir to attack at will.
And this fatal attack channel is right on the offensive path of the 1st Army Group and the 3rd Army Group——
I still owe you 1,000 words, and Long Ling will make up for it as soon as possible...
