Chapter 1657: 1658 Tang Jun’s new plan
Chapter 1657 Tang Jun’s new plan in 1658
"I'm waiting for the 3rd Army to arrive at the front line, but what are the people on the opposite side waiting for? The intelligence repeatedly confirmed from the prisoners is that the other side's supplies have serious problems, and the follow-up troops cannot come at all..." Tiger stood In front of the map, I asked my chief of staff a very pointed question.
The Tang Army's frontal strength is strengthening. As long as Strauss's troops arrive, the Tang Army's attack will become very sharp. The coalition forces on the front were simply unable to stop them, but the other side still had no intention of a decisive battle.
“Or, it’s not that they don’t want a decisive battle, but that they are already fighting a decisive battle?” Even though they don’t want to admit it, the situation in front of them might be the best situation the other side can create.
"Although we cannot underestimate the enemy, judging from the situation on the entire front, the opponent has indeed used all available troops. The only place where they have an advantage is in the Saint Lo area, but General Hogg's 1st Army fought It's really great..." The chief of staff explained to Tiger with a smile: "They haven't even established a solid defense line, and their frequent counterattacks have made the opponent farther and farther away from Saint Luo."
"I heard that there is a tacit understanding there. The defense line is handed over to a small number of paratroopers. Once there are signs that a large number of enemies are preparing to attack in any direction, the armored units of the 1st Group Army will be immediately sent to rush in that direction." Tiger stared at the map. He nodded in agreement.
Hogg's troops do have a natural advantage in attacking. With the port of Saint-Lo as their back, the 1st Army has better supplies than the 9th and 11th Army, so they fight more boldly.
Erik's troops had begun to move south. They filled the gap between the 1st Army and the 11th Army, allowing all four armies to have their own defense zones.
In this way, the situation becomes like this: the Tang Army's 9th and 11th armies are facing the dwarves' 6 armies, the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 14th and 15th armies. It seems that the dwarf troops have the advantage here, but in fact the dwarf 8th Army suffered heavy losses, the 7th Army was also tired of veterans, and the 14th and 15th Army were both new recruits, so in fact they did not have many effective troops.
The 8th Army of the Tang Army is fighting against two relatively elite newly formed armies, the 11th and 12th Dwarf armies. The pressure on them is relatively less.
The 1st Army Group of the Tang Army is fighting with the Elf troops and Susas' troops, and they are under the greatest pressure. However, with their backing to Saint-Lo, there was minimal supply pressure, and the situation seemed to be without any problems.
Logically speaking, Tiger only needs to continue waiting for the Tang Army's elite 3rd Army to arrive at the front line, and then he can start preparing for the next round of attack.
With Strauss's troops, Tiger seemed to have an easy time whether he launched a fierce attack from the north or continued to make a fuss in Saint-Lo in the south.
However, after analyzing the battlefield situation, Tiger and his staff still felt that before Strauss arrived, they could make another big move in the south.
In fact, it is very simple: the 7th Army commanded by General Eric of the Tang Army only has the strength of the two Dwarf armies in front of it. It seems that it can try to break through, which can immediately relieve the pressure on Saint Lo and give the elves and Susas troops flanks. Creating trouble.
Furthermore, allowing Eric to launch a counterattack also has an advantage. His area is relatively close to the Tang Army Airport near Everwinter City, and the Tang Air Force can provide massive air support.
Facing superior firepower, the two armies of the dwarves will definitely not be able to hold on for long, and Eric's breakthrough will be a matter of time. Obviously, the coalition forces did not expect that the Tang Army would suddenly launch a counterattack in this direction. They felt that they had put pressure on the direction of Saint Luo, and the most likely mobilization of the Tang Army was to reinforce the direction of Saint Luo.
Who would have thought that the Tang Army's troops would not go further south, hoarding ammunition and supplies, preparing to break through the defense line horizontally between Saint Luo and Everwinter City, and widen the protrusion near the sea...
"General Eric is preparing for the attack. He said that the 7th Army has no problems and can definitely complete the mission." After the staff member finished speaking, he mentioned the situation of the 3rd Army: "General Strauss When he called, he believed that the 3rd Army could land at Saint Lo and Everwinter City at the same time, and then divide the troops into two groups to launch attacks from two directions at the same time. "
"It seems that they are all anxious, fearing that we will take all the credit and not leave it to them." Tiger laughed and pressed his hand on the map: "Let him land in Eternal Winter City with peace of mind. I am ready to let him land in Eternal Winter City." Launch an attack from the north and press to the front line of Ironforge..."
"It's time to drive an opponent off the stage. The Ice Empire... Let's make it history as soon as possible." After saying this, Tiger withdrew his hand: "As for Rewind Port, leave it to the Marine Corps. Let’s help people figure it out.”
On the command ship of the Admiralty, Bernard and others are also having a meeting. Their marines have been repairing the rear for a long time, so they have recently been thinking about whether to use them quickly.
"We will land near Rewind Port and seize the port...Marshal Tiger promised that as long as we capture Rewind Port, they will take immediate action to open up the channel between Saint-Lo and Rewind Port." The navy's chief of staff told the man who was looking at the map Bernard introduced the latest combat plan.
"Supply is not a problem. We have the ability to immediately provide supplies for the landing force for at least 30 days." He said while providing sufficient data to Marshal Bernard.
Bernard looked at the Marine Corps officer and asked, "So, are our troops capable of fighting alone for 30 days? Or, at least, they must hold on alone for 35 days."
“I don’t think there is any problem.” The officer promised with his head held high: “As long as there is enough ammunition, two Marine divisions can hold their positions for two months!”
"I also think there will be no problem in 30 days." The chief of staff also nodded. They have superiority in the sea and air, and the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps is also guaranteed. They are very familiar with this kind of combat, and there will be no problems at all.
"Even if trouble does occur, the Air Force will not wait to save us. It can at least support another paratrooper division of ours, and it will be foolproof!" someone else continued to add.
"Then let's prepare." Bernard nodded and finalized the battle plan against Rewind Port: "But we must be fully prepared, and all plans must be thorough! Don't risk the lives of our soldiers at the last moment. Go joke."
“Yes!” Everyone stood at attention and saluted in response.
