Namur Castle, Shire was discussing the battle plan for Leuven with Tijani over the map.
Once Namur was taken, Leuven would be surrounded on three sides by the French Army, with Shire's armored units, mechanized units, and air force, in conjunction with the Belgian First Special Reconnaissance Army, capturing Leuven would be just around the corner.
In fact, it was not about whether they could take it, but how many German Army they could surround and capture.
This was one of the reasons why Shire insisted on the difficult attack on Namur despite knowing its terrain was unsuitable for tank warfare.
This tactic in Go is known as "eating," which is a highly efficient move.
If the German Army commanders were smart enough, they should voluntarily abandon Leuven and shrink their defenses.
