Chapter 980(2/2)
Although he had 100,000 Prussian troops, 50,000 French troops, 30,000 Swedish troops, 20,000 Norwegian troops, and 5,000 Finnish troops under his command.
According to the intelligence, there are only more than 30,000 opponents, and their equipment does not seem to be very good.
The British are still thieves. In this battle, they only sent two hundred large cargo ships to help transport supplies and soldiers.
"Tomorrow, we will tentatively launch an attack on St. Petersburg. The initial goal is to capture the city wall. General Hawke and General Sith, you will attack together from the south and west tomorrow."
Inside the tent, generals from various countries were sitting. Everyone sat in front of the map and watched Schlieffen explain the map carefully.
"We're going to fight, so what are you, Prussia and France doing?" Hawke was obviously a Nordic, with unusually thick hair on his body. In addition, he was wearing a short coat, and his whole body seemed to be moving when he felt awe-inspiring.
No one is stupid, siege warfare is obviously a cannon fodder job. No one is willing to be cannon fodder first.
"The Swedish army and the Norwegian army are only responsible for capturing the city wall. In the remaining time, you will have no combat missions." The meaning of Schlieffen's words is obvious. As long as the city wall is captured, the rest of the work will be done by the Prussians and the French.
People do it.
"Okay!" After hearing Schlieffen's promise, Hawke was speechless.
The first battle is the hard one, and you don't have to fight the rest. After all, it seems that you have taken advantage.
"The attack on the city wall is the first battle, and we must win it. For this reason, all the artillery of the entire army must be mobilized to the front line to bombard the city wall."
"Why not send out airships?" French General Grouchy asked, looking at the map.
For this battle, France and Prussia mobilized ten airships to support the army.
"A city like St. Petersburg will definitely have equipment such as anti-aircraft guns. We can't let the airship take risks, so why not let the airship help the troops land.
In addition, it would be good to conduct some reconnaissance at a high altitude in the distance."
Schlieffen glanced at Grouchy and once again confirmed that this guy was an idiot.
Li Xiu also attended this meeting, but he was not here for the meeting. He was just curious about how the armies of so many countries could be integrated to fight.
