Funny language are.

Leerlauf Anschlag = Idle Stop

but singly, according to online translators

Leerlauf = idling
Anschlag = attack

Either way, the effect is the same I guess.
Very close....

"Leerlauf" literally means "empty run", thus "idle" in English.

"Anschlag" has more than one meaning - the first you've noted (an "attack"), but it's not the right one for this application.... the literal meaning is "hit on", or as we would say "stop against", or just "stop"....

There you have it! An overly long lesson in etymology courtery of the Germans....

"Leerlauf Anschlag" = "Idle Stop" = "LA"

Hope this helps,
