Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Your Majesty, according to our newly drawn up battle plan. After the attack began, the 4th, 5th, and 6th Armies of the Imperial Army would launch an attack on the Scorching Sun Fortress Line in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Bilis, attracting the troops of the Kingdom of Bilis, as well as the Gallic Army and the Imperial Expeditionary Force of the Sun Never Setting, to assemble in the east of Bilis.

After completing this operational objective, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd armies of the Imperial Army launched an attack from the southern part of the Kingdom of Holly Blue to the northern part of the Kingdom of Bilis, using the powerful impact and breakthrough ability of armored forces to tear through the enemy’s defense line in one fell swoop, drive straight through, penetrate the Kingdom of Bilis, and attack the northern region of Gaul.

At the same time, a huge encirclement was formed, encircling all the enemy forces assembled in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Bilith and annihilating them.

As long as this strategic objective can be accomplished, the Empire will inflict heavy damage on the Kingdom of Bilis, the Kingdom of Gaul, and the Expeditionary Force of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets. The Empire will destroy the entire Kingdom of Bilis! ”

Admiral Moltke Jr. briefed August on the specific tactics of this operation.

August nodded, which coincided with his previous intentions.

Or rather, the General Staff drew up a battle plan entirely according to his wishes.

“After completing the first strategic objective, the main forces of the Imperial Army will launch an attack on the northern part of Gaul, attracting the main forces of the Gallic Army and the main forces of the Imperial Expeditionary Force to gather in the northern part of Gaul. After that, the 7th Army and the newly formed troops were killed from the Ardennes and penetrated straight into the northern part of Gaul, cutting off the main force of the Gallic Army and the main force of the Expeditionary Force of the Sun Never Sets Empire from the heart of Gaul in one fell swoop, encircling them in the northern part of Gaul.

After this battle, the Gallic Army and the Imperial Expeditionary Force will be severely damaged, and they will no longer be able to stop the Empire from marching towards Bari. The Imperial Army will completely capture Bari and the northern part of Gaul.

By that time, the Gauls would have absolutely no will to resist and would no longer dare to continue fighting with the empire. The empire will be able to completely crush the Gallic state and win this battle! ”

Admiral Moltke Jr. continued.

August was very satisfied with the battle plan drawn up by the General Staff.

If these two strategic objectives could be accomplished, the Germanic Empire would undoubtedly be able to achieve absolute victory on the Western Front. Gauls and the sun never set are absolutely powerless.

“Good, just follow this plan. However, the Ardennes has always been difficult to travel, and the Imperial Army can kill the northern part of Gaul from there, can it succeed? August asked.

In another time and space, this is what the mustache did. That’s why it was able to crush the Gallic state in just one month.

“Your Majesty, the infrastructure in the Ardennes is indeed very bad and not suitable for large troops to march. However, the Imperial Army has secretly sent engineering troops into the Ardennes Mountains to build roads. Although roads could not be built with great fanfare, simple repairs to impassable areas were possible to ensure that large troops could march.

Perhaps, there will be some difficulties in the process of marching. But overall, it won’t make much of a difference! We conducted a wargaming exercise, and there should be no big problem with this battle plan. ”

Admiral Moltke Jr. said.

“Then, when the empire puts its main forces into the western front, Old Maozi will definitely not be lonely on the eastern battlefield and launch an attack on the imperial army.” Can the Imperial Army withstand the attack of the old Maozi and keep them out of our borders until the Imperial Army wins the Western Front? August asked.

This is very important, if the old Maozi invaded the territory of the empire. Then, it is bound to deal a huge blow to the morale of the people of the empire. Even the military will certainly be greatly affected. It will even affect popular support for the war.

“Your Majesty, the 9th Army and the 10th Army of the Imperial Army should be able to withstand the attack of Old Maozi. With the mobilization speed of the old Maozi, they could not have completed the mobilization before this winter. And it is not long before winter, and in these two months they will be able to send out a standing army to launch a round of attack on us. As long as it resists their attack, there will be no big problem.

Subsequently, after the formation of new troops, we can also put more troops into the Eastern Front. In that case, Old Maozi will have no chance. Moreover, our ally Austria-Hungary was able to hold down a large part of the old Maozi’s forces. ”

Admiral Moltke replied.

August was somewhat worried, but now he could only do so.

With the speed of mobilization of the Germanic Imperial Army, new units are being formed and will soon be able to go to the front. In this way, the Germanic Imperial Army should not have much problem resisting the attack of Old Maozi.

After all, the combat effectiveness of the old Maozi is not good at all.

“In this war, whether it is the Eastern Front or the Western Front, the air force must be put into action. On the one hand, the air force’s strike on the enemy’s ground forces can effectively provide fire support for our troops and reduce our losses. On the other hand, it can also train the Air Force, so that the Air Force can seize the opportunity, grow faster and become more powerful! August said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Admiral Moltke nodded.

Lieutenant General Zeckert, director of the Air Force, was also immediately excited.

Since the formation of the German Imperial Air Force, although it has received strong support from Auguste, it is flourishing.

However, because they have not been on the battlefield and have not made merits, they naturally lack the opportunity to grow and exercise.

And this war is also an indispensable and important opportunity for the Air Force.

On the morning of August 10, 1714, it was just dawn.

On the eastern defensive line of the Kingdom of Bilis, many soldiers of the Kingdom of Biliz are still asleep.

The attack of the Germanic Imperial Army suddenly came at this moment.

Three army groups, thirty infantry divisions, and three heavy artillery brigades assembled a total of 1152 150mm heavy howitzers, 1440 105mm light howitzers, and 540 75mm field guns, and launched heavy shelling on the Beliz Army defenses.

At one time, more than three thousand cannons opened fire fiercely, and the shells seemed to be completely out of money.

One shell after another rained down on the Beliz army’s defenses.

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Dense explosions rang out in the Belistan lines, filled with smoke and shrapnel. One by one, craters appeared on the positions. The entire defense line was almost shrouded in gunsmoke.
