  Chapter 467 Lightning Assault

  The direction of the Ali Mountains is on the northwest side of the Wilma Defense Line, a tall mountain with a high altitude and a tortuous terrain.

   At the same time, it is also the main obstacle blocking Baia's advance.

  With a mountain line of 70 kilometers long and an altitude of more than 500 meters, the highest altitude reaches 700 meters. This steep mountain is enough to discourage the courage of the Baiya people to march.

  If it weren't for the natural and dangerous natural geographical conditions, it would not have allowed the Baia army to bypass a large circle, and finally fought against the Lantis army on the plain terrain in Balam.

   It will even anger the two small countries caught between Lambai and be forced to make a choice.

   "You want the army to cross the Ardennes?."

  The seasoned Commander Dawson raised his brows high, "It's impossible, not to mention whether we can cross over, it would take too much military power and time-consuming to cross the mountains.

   Once staying here for too long, it will attract the attention of the Lantis military, and in the end it will not be worth the loss. "

  Prince Kadler William wisely did not argue with him, but asked a question instead:

   "Your Excellency, if we follow your idea and fight Lantis on the plains of Balam, how many Lantis troops will be wiped out in the end.

   If you continue to advance deeper, you can see that the terrain of Landis after the Ross Plain is full of mountains and rivers. When the B Group Army penetrates into it, it will already be alone.

   Just imagine, if the front line is stretched so long, once we stay here for too long, how long will it take to replenish supplies and troops in the rear.

  Once we are unable to tear apart these enemy lines of defense, what will be the consequences. "

  Commander Dawson stared at the movement of the two armies on the sand table and remained silent.

   It is indeed a dangerous move, if it does not swallow the main group armies of Landis in one go.

  The battle line of the Baia army has been stretched so long, what will happen to the outside world after being stuck in this quagmire for too long.

  At that time, the Republic of Lantis, which had figured out Baier's military strength, could retract the troops on other fronts to the back of a river called Lanmudu.

  Relying on the superior terrain of the great rivers and rivers to fight Baia Da for a long time, leading the war to a more familiar environment,

   Then defeat Baia with rich experience.

   Also consider the forces outside the two countries. The movements of Balam and others can be ignored, but there is another behemoth in the Far East. They have concentrated more than a hundred divisions on the western front, and there are almost no defensive forces in the east.

   There is no problem in two or three months. If it takes a year and a half, and Baia's national power is exhausted, who can guarantee that the Sa Loren Empire, which has signed a new cooperation agreement, will not turn against the water.

   Regardless of the national conditions or the international situation, they are not allowed to spend too much time on the battlefield of Lantis.

  King William II on the high seat was in a fog, but still looked very interested:

   "So Kadler, what are you going to do?"

   "Divide the troops of the group army and transfer all the tanks and armored vehicles of the B group army to the positions of the A group army.

   And form a mechanized unit with sufficient mobility, bypass the Ali Mountains and move laterally behind the main force of Lantis, in front of Lanmudu River, join forces with the B Group Army fighting on the front, and cut off their connection with the rear. "

  In the past, whether Bayer or other countries used armored vehicles, they never used them on a large scale. They were just a means of diversifying their attacks.

  The idea proposed by Kadler is to assemble a sharp knife troop,

   Go deep into the hinterland and kill him with a single blow.

   This unconstrained and unconstrained tactic, which can be called fantasy, was naturally beyond the imagination of Kadler William.

   It was the result of several hours of research with Thilo Sollens in the mansion of the Sollens family on the second day after Tufu returned to Baia.

At that time, Prime Minister Sorens concluded that, according to Commander Dawson’s and others’ strategy of large-scale transfer, although Landis’s iron wall was bypassed, there was a high probability that in the end, the lone army would go deep, insufficient supplies, and international turmoil. ,

  Finally fell short.

   At that time, Tu Fu had already noticed a loophole in the border.

  Ali Mountains.

   It is of course not advisable to rely on infantry divisions to climb mountains and advance at a snail's marching speed.

   But if all the means of transportation were replaced with armored vehicles, it would not only solve the problem of marching speed, but also provide the border troops with the most elite saber, as long as they bypassed this mountain range, they could penetrate directly into the enemy's belly.

   "This method sounds very good."

   "It's just too risky, and the error tolerance rate is extremely low. If you are trapped in Alishan and want to withdraw, it will not be so easy."

   "In the final analysis, it's too risky to go deep alone. It's not good to be surrounded by Lantis' two wings."

  General Command, all the officers present except William II have already discussed the feasibility.

  But what they have in common is that after hearing this idea, they all showed the same astonished expression as Mr. Sollens at that time.

   Commander-in-Chief Clyde Dawson lightly stroked his beard with his fingers, and then asked a crucial question:

   "Whether existing armored vehicles can pass through the Ardennes."

"Can."

  The person who answered this time became Tu Fu, "Dear Commander, during the time I was in the science class, I have been testing the performance of military armored vehicles, and I have done the test of climbing mountains when I was in Baia.

   It is not a problem to cross the mountains below 500 altitudes. As long as you bypass the highest altitude point, you can cross the mountains in a short time. "

  As long as this ghostly armored army passes through the Ali Mountains, and then there is a flat river, relying on the extreme speed of the machine, this armored army can quietly touch the hinterland of Lantis,

   Give the enemy a big surprise.

  Following that, Prince Kadler William explained the military reasons for "blitzkrieg" to those present,

  Using synchronous coordination of airships and armored vehicles, driving straight in, attacking at the shortest time and at the fastest speed, the emphasis is on the tactical concept of concentration of power, fast attack, and sudden attack, with lightning speed.

  Quickly destroy the enemy's communication system and military base, and finally complete the double-teaming of the Lantis Army.

  This kind of high-investment, high-risk, high-yield plan with small and large,

   It even sounds a bit crazy.

  Even the generals of Baia’s army have never heard of such a risky and aggressive style of play.

  Only Commander Clyde Dawson was the calmest. He smiled and asked Kadler a question:

   "Your Highness, I have to admit that you, or the whimsy of the people behind you, is indeed feasible to a certain extent.

  But such a fully armored force, if it is true as you said, has traversed the Ali Mountains and drove straight into the territory of Lantis, it is established under the normal conditions of combat.

  If an accident occurs midway, will the logistics supply be able to keep up? "

  Commander Clyde Dawson's first half sentence completely saw through Prince Kadler's hidden thoughts.

  This kind of systematic high-end military thinking is definitely not something that a child can come up with out of thin air in a short time. Without the guidance of an expert, a mere prince can't do this.

   Sure enough, the moment Prince Kadler lowered his head, William II, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, with a hint of feigned anger in his words:

   "Kadler, tell me the truth, whose idea is this.

   Is it yours or His. "

   Knowing the son is more like the father, William II is still clear about how many brushes his child has. He has been mixing with Tu Fu these days, and suddenly he can give a complete set of tactical concepts.

  The bigger possibility is the tactics provided by Tu Fu.

  In those stern eyes, Kadler's head lowered lower and lower, even if he didn't confess Tu Fu in the end.

  Tu Fu sighed softly. It's such a time. If he doesn't stand up and say a few words, the battle plan will naturally not be carried out normally.

   Then He stepped forward and confessed:

   "Your Majesty, this plan is the one I told His Highness, but it was the plan that I discussed with Mr. Thilo Thorens at the earliest stage. Mr. Thorens prepared an alternative plan for the kingdom.

   If in times of crisis, perhaps this plan can help the kingdom. "

   "That is to say, the day after you returned to Baia, you discussed and decided major events in this country with Sollens."

   Only heard a "plop", William II angrily knocked on the table with his palm.

  An imperceptible sullenness crept up his cheeks.

  The mystery of the three-hour secret conversation was solved, but the more this happened, the more angry he became.

   This is his country, his army, on the battlefield, where he wants to show his ambitions.

   Now a Prime Minister who has left the field, a titular jazz, actually stretched his hand into his minefield to play disco in private. How can William II not be angry.

  Since Tu Fu dared to stand up, he naturally thought of his words,

   "Your Majesty, it doesn't really matter whether it's my idea or Mr. Sollens' idea.

  The important thing is that the original plan was stolen by Landis's agents, and we can no longer trust this method.

  The "blitzkrieg" is a very suitable set of flexible tactics. Only a few local adjustments are needed to regain all the lost advantages.

  If the war with Landis is won in the end, people will only remember the great achievements of the wise king leading the army himself.

  Not me or Mr. Sollens, even though you will cross my name out of the victory book, what I want is still what you promised me in the first place. "

   Tu Fu said firmly, this time He made another great sacrifice and concession.

  What He wants has always been to participate in this battlefield as a promotion to a higher sequence, and to win in exchange for the help of the royal family.

  As for things like fame, I have long since stopped pursuing them.

   "I can agree to use your proposal."

  William II was silent for a long time, then he opened his mouth,

   "But I have one condition. You and Kadler must also participate in the armored army raiding the Ardennes Mountains. If there is any accident on the way, or the original effect cannot be achieved.

  You don't have to go back to Baia either. "
