Chapter 803 The Battle of the Rhine Line
Seeing that Prince Wang came, the officers of the military stopped the discussion and got up to salute, "His Royal Highness, you are here."
"His Royal Highness."
Joseph came to the conference table and smiled and showed that the Italian family sat down: "Let's start the meeting."
According to the convention, a combat staff came to the map to introduce the latest battlefield situation to a group of senior generals.
Captain Farius pointed to the north side of Luxembourg with fine wooden sticks: "At present, a total of 86,000 people in the Prussian Ferdinand Army gathered east of Malnah, ready to attack Luxembourg City.
"Lieutenant Colonel Marcener's combat preparations on the front line of Gravin Mach has been basically completed. At the same time, our preparation and deception operation in Versailles will continue to expand the scale.
"Once Ferdinand began to start to Luxembourg, the Massena Corps will intercept the enemy's army near Dikihis in accordance with the plan, and launch a counterattack at the same time from a 30 -kilometer -long front."
Joseph nodded slightly.
He has participated in the formulation of this combat plan.
Although the Massena Legion is only 65,000 soldiers, it is no more weak than Ferdinand in terms of combat effectiveness.
The Royal First Infantry Division, and the Royal Sword of Bullet Camp, the Royal First Campus Camp, the most elite France.
It should also be the most elite troops in Europe.
Before the army of Masisa and the Duke of Brenry, they had repeatedly contacted and had been defeated. They "defeated" from the Luxembourg border to near Luxembourg.
At the same time, France's Versailles Line is very busy recently. A large number of supplies come here. Thousands of legions enter every day, setting up the posture to stay here.
In fact, there are only less than 3,000 places here. The so -called "large number of logistics materials" also use more than 30 carriages to enter Versailles with debris during the day, leave from the lower reaches of the Mas River in the evening, and repeat the next day, repeated ...
Verdon is the only highland on the east side of France. There are fortress groups and belong to the gateway to Paris.
France is preparing for defense here, obviously to give up Luxembourg, which has been "unable to adhere to".
The Duke of Brenrek obviously got the news from its domestic spy, so he was going to win the Luxembourg, which was available as soon as possible, and then entered France.
Its main forces are basically in Luxembourg.
Massena was ready to deal with the 110,000 enemy forces before, but at the request of Franz II more than half a month ago, the coalition forces transferred more than 30,000 people from the Calk Royte and the Clefate. Brussels emergency.
That was originally the reserve for Duke Brunrick.
This has caused Marceina's pressure to be greatly reduced. In this case, when the Duke of Brenry entered his ambush position, if he couldn't win, he would simply resign and go home.
And this time the Duke of Brenry was dispatched. Once it was defeated, the coalition forces would have no troops in the entire Rheinland area!
Rhineland refers to the west bank of the Rhine, from Aachen to Pharz area.
Here, the south of the south and the Netherlands, the south of France, the east side is the hinterland of Germany, and it is a strategic buffer belt between France. Once the continent burst of war, Rheinland is a place where soldiers must fight.
Rheinland is currently the sphere of influence of Prussia and Bavaria. There is also a Principality Trier.
Captain Farius pointed to the position of Freiburg on the east side of the map: "On the southern Rhein, 90,000 people of the Austrian Virmzers are preparing to go south to Basel." According to the analysis of the Chief Staff, they should be in ' Rhine's knee crossed the river, bypassing the Strasbourg from southern Algas, and launched an attack on Lorin. 【Note 1】
"The Moro Corps has made a combat deployment in accordance with the original plan."
There are only 45,000 people in the Moro Corps. Although they are also the elite troops of all the new troops, in the face of the 90,000 Olympic forces, the disadvantage of military strength is still too great, so his main task is to carry out strategic defense.
Basel is a small border town in Switzerland, but the geographical location is very important. It is an important ferry near the "Rhein's knee".
Of course, because Switzerland is too weak, Basel is almost a "public toilet". Whether it is Austria or France, or even Bavaria, you want to come and leave.
Therefore, France does not need to expect Switzerland to resist invasion.
Morro will block while crossing the river near Basel.
After Captain Farius finished speaking, Lefifel got up and said, "According to the judgment of Lieutenant Colonel Marcener, it will launch a total attack about 5 days later. At the same time "
He looked at Joseph again and owed his body: "His Royal Highness, a few of us just discussed it just now. At present, our army can retreat to Brussels. This can save some troops and go to Luxembourg from Liden to assist the Massena legion. "
He is definitely not arrogant.
Don't look at the Fifty -thousands of the United Io Olympic forces, and there are less than 25,000 French army in South Nideland, but from the perspective of the previous combat process, the Waron defense is completely useful. This It is the 12,000 thousands of lives.
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
At the same time, if you rely on Brussels to conduct a defensive war, even the more than 4,000 Vlameng voted in Chengjun can come in handy -under the cover of the urban anti -artillery, they can still do it with a gun behind the chest wall.
Therefore, it can be completely transferred to the main force of 56,000 French army and go to Luxembourg to fight.
Even if he took a step back, the coalition forces suddenly attached the gods and began to win repeatedly. The French army could retreat and delay time.
The Brussels area is too large and rich in supplies. The Dutch who had been low to the soles of the feet before kept Brussels for nearly a month and a half.
As long as the French army avoid being annihilated by large -scale, dragging the Duke York here for two or three months is not a problem.
Two months later, Marcener had already defeated Rheinland's coalition forces, and soldiers to reinforce Brussels.
Dawu, Ma Song and other officers also nodded, which was the consensus they just reached.
Joseph took out a report with a smile and shook his head and said, "I think the Masisa Legion's troops should be enough.
"We can't just want to stay in Brussels."
The crowd suddenly looked at it in surprise, and relying on our troops, did it take the initiative to attack without defending? Essence
Joseph pushed the report to the middle of the table: "This is the news just sent, we have controlled Ruwen."
[Note 1] "Rhine's knee" refers to the position of a 90 -degree rapid turning position between the Rhine Henan section and the middle section.
The Rhine has changed from east and west to north and south. And because of the rapid turn, the speed of the Rhine River slowed down significantly. Since 1790, this section of the basin has also built a number of bridges, which is very suitable for crossing the river.
