The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Chapter 1048

Trapped in a tight encirclement, with no blockade in front and pursuers behind, and no reinforcements, his own commander also abandoned the army and ran away!

After experiencing this series of blows, the US army has long lost its fighting spirit and morale. The

German army used loudspeakers to continuously broadcast the achievements of the German army in other battlefields to them, which further aggravated the despair of the US troops in the encirclement.

Finally, these people couldn’t stand it anymore. If they continued like this, they would go crazy.

While they still have strength, they must try to break through at all costs. Even if there is only one percent of hope, it is better to try hard than to wait for death!

After all, they have been cut off from the outside world, and it is difficult to transport supplies from the outside world, so it won’t be long before they will run out of their supplies. At that time, without food, weapons and ammunition, they will have even less hope of breaking through!

So, taking advantage of this time to risk their lives, it is almost their last chance!

���The actions of the army were clearly seen by the reconnaissance planes of the German Air Force. When the American soldiers began to gather and prepare, the German army on the opposite side was ready for battle. When these American soldiers had just assembled and were about to set out to attack, the German artillery began to play! When the

Battle of Morganton broke out, the US military took the lead in destroying the defenders’ field artillery with the advantage of artillery fire, and then continued to bombard the German positions with artillery fire, causing very heavy casualties to the German army.

In the Battle of Morganton, the number of casualties of the German army exceeded 2,000, and more than 80% of them were caused by the artillery fire of the US army!

At this time, the roles of both sides were exchanged, and now the German army had the advantage of artillery fire instead of the US army.

Unlike the German army stationed in Morganton, the main force of the German army appeared in front of the US army. They were not only numerous, but also had all kinds of weapons and equipment.

The U.S. military still held an inherent mentality to look at the German army, and did not expect that the German army would bomb them with such fierce artillery fire. As a result, they were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. Under the fierce artillery fire of the German army, the U.S. army, which was originally preparing to attack, was extinguished before it could be launched!

That’s not all. After killing and wounding a large number of U.S. military personnel, the German army took advantage of the opportunity when the U.S. military’s morale plummeted and its formation was in chaos to launch a fierce attack.

This wave of German offensive was extremely sharp, and the coordination and cooperation between infantry and artillery reached a seamless level.

The artillery shells had just completed the covering shooting, and before the U.

S.

soldiers raised their heads from the bombing, the German soldiers had already touched them, and all they could do was raise their hands!

In just one day, the German army pulled out several strongholds controlled by the U.

S.

military in one go, killing and capturing more than 8,000 U.

S.

soldiers.

The loss of a large number of personnel and supplies was simply a disaster for the U.

S.

military, which was already short of supplies!

What’s more serious is that their artillery also suffered heavy losses in the previous shelling and bombing. Without artillery, they could only passively take the beating, and such a passive situation made the American soldiers feel even more uncomfortable.

So, finally someone couldn’t stand it, began to lay down their weapons, and took the initiative to surrender to the German army!

The power of example is infinite. When someone takes the lead, the rest of the people will follow suit, completely put down the burden in their hearts, and surrender to the US army together!

In just three days, the American soldiers who were extremely desperate for the future and thought they could not break through surrendered to the German army on a large scale. Eisenhower had planned that if the US military did not know the current situation, then he would use aircraft and artillery to continue to kill and consume them with powerful firepower. If it really didn’t work, he would finally launch a strong attack to solve them in one fell swoop!

Of course, the last situation is their choice when the battle situation is very tense and the battle on the Western Front is not ideal. Under normal circumstances, they will not go to this step!

Now, the early surrender of the US military made his task much easier. Eisenhower shifted his main focus from the besieged US troops to the battle on the Western Front!

However, just when Eisenhower thought the war in the East was over, Manstein did not intend to miss this opportunity.

“These people were originally the Eagle Sauce’s army. They have a better understanding of the Eagle Sauce’s combat effectiveness, and the weapons they are equipped with are also considered to be the most advanced weapons in the Eagle Sauce. In this case, why can’t they be deployed in combat operations against the Eagle Sauce?”

Although Guderian has fought very well in the west, from the beginning of the battle to now, his troops have been advancing triumphantly, winning battle after battle, defeating and occupying several cities in succession, and now have reached the core area where the American government is located. Judging from the results alone, this result is undoubtedly very good.

However, if they continue to fight, they will encounter more and more tough battles!

The cities in the Great Lakes region are very dense, with many factories, and backed by the Great Lakes. The land here is too narrow, and there is not much space for the German army to fully utilize its mobility advantage and fight the blitzkrieg that Guderian is best at!

After all, with the continuous contraction of the US military front, the US military’s forces have shrunk to the area centered on the capital!

There is no room for detours, and facing a large number of enemy troops, a brutal tough battle is inevitable!

Things like tough battles, if fought If it is not done well, it may be a situation similar to the meat grinder of Verdun. Both sides continue to invest troops to join the battlefield, and then continue to suffer huge casualties, send one troop after another, and then be crippled or annihilated, and then replace them with new troops!

The probability of this situation is not small, because the US military has no way to retreat. When they are desperate, they may burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness!

In this case, in the street fighting, the two sides repeatedly fight for a stronghold, and there is a high probability that heavy casualties will occur between them!

The German soldiers are very valuable, especially the armored forces. These are experienced veterans, and they are all technical arms. It is a big loss for them to exchange with the infantry of the Eagle Sauce!
