Germanic Empire: please call me William III

“Your Majesty, according to our newly drawn up battle plan. After the attack began, the Imperial Army’s 4th, 5th, and 6th Armies would launch an offensive against the Sun Fortress defenses in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Billys, attracting the army of the Kingdom of Belgium, as well as the Army of the Gallic State and the Imperial Expeditionary Force of the Sun Never Set, to the east of Billys.
After completing this operational objective, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Armies of the Imperial Army launched an attack from the southern part of the Dutch Kingdom to the northern part of the Kingdom of Belgium, using the powerful impact and breakthrough ability of the armored forces to tear open the enemy’s defense line in one fell swoop, and drove straight in, penetrating the Kingdom of Belgium and invading the northern part of gaul.
At the same time, a huge encirclement was formed, encircling and annihilating all the enemy forces gathered in the eastern part of the kingdom of Belgium.
As long as this strategic objective can be accomplished, the Empire will severely damage the Kingdom of Billys, the Kingdom of Gaul and the Imperial Expeditionary Force of the Sun. The Empire will destroy the entire Kingdom of Billys! ”
Admiral Moltke Jr. briefed August on the specific tactics of the operation.
August nodded, which coincided with his previous intentions.
In other words, the General Staff drew up the battle plan exactly according to his wishes.
“After the completion of the first strategic objective, the main force of the Imperial Army will launch an attack on the northern part of the Gaul State, attracting the main force of the Gaul Army and the main force of the Imperial Expeditionary Force to gather in the north of the Gaul State. After that, the 7th Army, along with the newly formed troops, broke out of the Ardennes and went straight into the northern region of Gaul, cutting off the main force of the Gaul Army and the main force of the Imperial Expeditionary Force with the hinterland of Gaul in one fell swoop, and annihilating them in the north 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 to Bari. The Imperial Army will completely capture Bari and northern Gaul.
By that time, the Gauls had absolutely no will to resist and would not dare to continue fighting with the Empire. The Empire will be able to completely crush the Gaul kingdom 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. The Gauls and the sun never set are absolutely powerless to return to heaven.
“Very well, let’s follow this plan.” However, the Ardennes has always been difficult to navigate, and from there the Imperial Army has killed the northern part of Gaul, can it succeed? August asked.
In another time and space, the moustache did just that. That’s why it was able to crush the Gaul state in just one month.
“Your Majesty, the infrastructure of the Ardennes is indeed very poor and not suitable for large marches. However, the Imperial Army had secretly sent sappers into the Ardennes to build roads. Although roads could not be built with great fanfare, it was possible to make simple repairs to impassable areas to ensure that large troops could march.
Perhaps, there will be some difficulties in the process of marching. But overall, it won’t have much of an impact! We conducted a wargame deduction, and this battle plan should not be too much of a problem. ”
Admiral Moltke Jr. said.
“Then, when the Empire throws the main force into the western battlefield, the old maozi will certainly not be lonely on the eastern battlefield and launch an attack on the Imperial Army.” Will the Imperial Army be able to withstand the old Maozi’s attacks 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 invades the territory of the Empire. Then, it is bound to cause a huge blow to the morale of the people of the Empire. Even the military will certainly be greatly affected. It will even affect the public’s support for the war.
“Your Majesty, the 9th and 10th Armies of the Imperial Army should be able to withstand the old Maozi’s attack. At the rate of mobilization of the old Maozi, it is impossible for them to complete the mobilization before this winter. Winter was not far away, and in those two months they would be able to send at most a standing army to launch a round of attack on us. As long as you resist their attack, there is not much of a problem.
Subsequently, after the formation of new troops, we will also be able to put more troops into the battlefield of the Eastern Front. In that case, Old Maozi would have even less chance. Moreover, our ally Austro-Hungarian Empire was also able to hold back a large part of Lao Maozi’s strength. ”
Admiral Moltke Jr. replied.
August was somewhat worried, but now that was enough.
At the rate of mobilization of the Germanic Army, new troops were being formed and would soon be able to reach the front. In this case, the Germanic Imperial Army should not have much problem resisting the attack of the old Maozi.
After all, Old Maozi’s combat effectiveness was not good at all.
“In this war, whether it is the battlefield on the eastern front or the battlefield on the western front, it is necessary to invest in the air force units. On the one hand, the air force’s strikes 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 exercise 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 Jr. nodded.
Lieutenant General Zecht, the director of the Air Force, was also immediately excited.
Since the formation of the Germanic Air Force, although strongly supported by August, it is flourishing.
However, because they have not been on the battlefield and have not made meritorious achievements, 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 Belgium, many soldiers of the Kingdom of Belgium were still asleep.
The attack of the Germanic Imperial Army suddenly came at this moment.
Three armies, thirty infantry divisions, and three heavy artillery brigades, in total, assembled 1,152 150 mm heavy howitzers, 1,440 105 mm light howitzers, and 540 75 mm field guns, and launched a fierce bombardment on the Billy Army’s defensive line.
At one point, more than three thousand cannons opened fire violently, and the shells seemed to be completely out of money.
Shell after shell rained down on the Pyllis Army’s defenses.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Dense explosions sounded on the Billys’ defensive lines, filled with smoke and shrapnel. One by one, craters appeared on the positions. The entire defensive line was almost shrouded in smoke.
