Chapter 1447 Tactical Competition
The Wehrmacht launched an offensive, and the old general arranged a large number of U-shaped pocket formations strictly according to the textbook method, trying to use the numerical advantage to reduce the gap between the two sides.
At the same time, they established an absolute numerical advantage and planned to use human wave tactics to overwhelm the Wehrmacht.
The biggest highlight of the U-shaped pocket certificate is that it can be tied tightly in the pocket at any time.
As long as there is an elite force at both ends of the U-shaped pocket, they can immediately finish the job under the commander's order and the encirclement can be successfully completed.
Although most of the goblin army is in a weak position, the troops deployed by the old general at the port of the U-shaped pocket are basically the elite goblins.
And a large number of mechas were allocated to these troops.
Faced with the rearguard offensive launched from both ends, the backbone of the National Defense Forces fought desperately.
Of the eight attacking divisions, only two had their retreat cut off.
The two armored divisions had their retreat cut off because they attacked too quickly and stretched their front line too long.
The commander did not reprimand the commanders of the two divisions.
The so-called battle line was too long because the commanders of the two divisions were desperately trying to grab the credit.
Because they were afraid that the goblins would flee, and then they would not be able to gain any merit.
The commander also knew that the people under his command were all wolf cubs, the kind that would not stop until they caught their prey once they were released.
Even if the commander wants to purge these two division commanders, he will wait until the war is over. Replacing generals in the middle of a battle is a big taboo in military strategy.
After the two divisions were surrounded, the Wehrmacht immediately sent reserve troops to provide support and was determined to rescue the two divisions.
But the old general was no joke. After confirming that the National Defense Forces were trapped in a pocket, he immediately mobilized 20 troops to encircle the two divisions.
Originally, each pocket formation had nearly 8 people deployed.
Now another 20 troops have been sent as reinforcements.
On average, a Wehrmacht armored division had to face an army of 18 goblins.
Originally, on the plains, these 18 goblin troops would have been crushed to pieces by the Wehrmacht armored divisions, but now they have been trapped in a pocket, and the goblins have occupied most of the advantageous positions, and are basically in a dominant position.
The Wehrmacht's counterattack seemed very weak.
In response to the goblin army's ideas, the National Defense Forces quickly responded.
Don't you want to use a pocket formation?
Then I'll pierce your pocket with my trident!
The other six armored divisions received orders to fight at full speed.
The six division commanders then gathered their most elite troops in the middle and sent two armies that were neither weak nor strong on both sides.
Since most of the troops have been transferred to the U-shaped pocket formation, there are only about 8 troops guarding each pocket formation.
And they had to face at least 2 combatants from a Wehrmacht armored division.
The number of people in a Wehrmacht armored division is about 5, but the actual combat personnel are between ~.
The rest are considered auxiliary arms.
10 million versus 3 million.
It shouldn't be a bad loss, right?
This is what the old goblin general thought. At the beginning, the National Defense Army failed to break through the pocket formation for a while, which made the old general relieved.
That's why the old general only left a small number of support troops and sent most of the support troops to the two pocket formations.
He planned to take down these two Wehrmacht armored divisions in one fell swoop.
The idea was good, but the reality was cruel. Just as the old general was about to erode the armored divisions of the Wehrmacht, another six armored divisions launched a fierce offensive.
Each armored division launched attacks in three directions like a trident.
And he didn't care about his flank at all, he just rushed forward.
Most of the pocket formations were able to hold off the Wehrmacht's attacks, but two of these six pocket formations were broken.
After breaking through the pocket formation, the Wehrmacht immediately divided the army in the middle responsible for the main attack into two and directly joined the armies on the two wings.
It abruptly turned into two pincer attacks.
The goblin army, trapped in the middle, was stunned for a moment.
The two pocket formations were broken, and the old goblin general became a little anxious.
Then he invested all of his last 20 reserve troops.
However, these 20 reserve troops can only solve the problem of shortage of troops in the two pocket formations.
If another pocket formation is broken at this time, you can only hope for the best.
The old general threw all his troops into it.
Barely blocked the Wehrmacht's offensive.
Then he immediately began to arrange for his troops to cannibalize the two surrounded Wehrmacht armored divisions.
The besieged Wehrmacht armored division headquarters.
The division commander is arranging the defense tasks in an orderly manner.
When they were surrounded at first, the division commander felt a little unnatural.
But when he learned that an army of 18 goblins surrounded them, the division commander was instantly delighted.
The two armored divisions tied down more than 36 troops.
This means that other friendly forces only need to face less than 100 million troops.
On average, each armored division only needs to face about 15 troops.
The Wehrmacht division commander immediately reported the situation, and the command fell into deep thought after learning of it.
He then decisively ordered two armored divisions to break out.
Yes, you heard it right, the Wehrmacht command chose to give up this great opportunity.
The command unanimously decided not to take any risks with the two armored divisions.
Because the command believed that the enemy they were facing was not an ordinary person.
Although the country of goblins is very weak, their technology is comparable to that of Dayan in some aspects.
When facing a real enemy, we should give it our all instead of gambling with the lives of 10 soldiers from two divisions.
A qualified general will make sacrifices, but he will never let his soldiers sacrifice in vain.
The commanders of the two armored divisions were somewhat surprised after receiving the order, but they quickly executed it.
They began to prepare for a breakout.
After learning the news, the old general did not urge the front line to find a way to eliminate the two armored divisions, but ordered the defenders of the two pocket formations to find a way to stop the Wehrmacht's breakout.
The old general's steady and cautious approach exceeded the expectations of the Wehrmacht.
Logically speaking, when facing an enemy stronger than yourself and wanting to break through, you should concentrate your superior forces and find a way to annihilate this powerful enemy.
But the old general obviously did not play by the rules and chose to sacrifice himself in exchange for the Wehrmacht's inability to break through.
The old general's command ideas made the staff and commanders of the Wehrmacht fall into deep thought.
While the fighting was raging here, the airborne division also arrived at its destination.
The airborne division is the command's last trump card.
The fierce attack by the eight armored divisions on the front line was just a cover.
The real purpose was to cover the airborne division's surprise attack on the rear supply center.
It would take the National Defense Forces half a month to defeat an army of 130 million.
If they could find a way to cut off the logistical supplies of this 130 million-strong army, then this 130 million-strong army would most likely be defeated within a few days.
Because the daily food consumption of an army of 130 million is not a simple number.
Inside the Goblin Headquarters.
The old general was observing the battlefield sand table. When he moved his eyes to a certain place, he suddenly realized something and then roared loudly.
"wrong!"
(Good night＼(`Δ')／)
