The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Chapter 1090

“What a stubborn bunch!”

“Who says it’s not true? They have been beaten to such an extent, yet they still refuse to surrender. I wonder what they are thinking. Are they really seeking death?”

“Could it be that all the most capable and most stubborn members of the Eagle Sauce are here?”

Taking advantage of the gaps in the artillery bombardment, the German frontline soldiers had a rare chance to chat.

The battles in the past few days have been extremely difficult. Although the tactics of the North American Theater Command have been effective, they have used tank clusters to continuously attack the Eagle Sauce’s supply convoys. After destroying a large number of Eagle Sauce’s logistics troops, they quickly cut off the connection between the various cities in the Eagle Sauce, making it impossible for the US troops in the city to get out and the US troops outside the city to get in!

After trying to reinforce several times, they were ambushed by the German army one after another, and even several troops were completely wiped out. The US military finally recognized the reality and knew that if they continued to forcibly send troops, it would not only be ineffective. The result would be counterproductive, and a large number of excellent soldiers would be buried in vain.

So they gave up this meaningless action!

However, after they gave up the attempt to connect the cities in series, the American troops that were previously scattered to various cities to defend naturally became isolated troops, and the connection with the main force of the US military was completely cut off!

Without any worries and without worrying about the reinforcement of the US military, the German army began to attack on a large scale, launching attacks on multiple cities at the same time with superior forces, just like pulling out nails, eliminating the US troops trapped in the city and seizing the city from them!

Although after fierce fighting After that, most of these cities had been completely reduced to ruins.

Even if they were occupied, they would not be of much use.

However, if they could pull out a nail, they could reduce the threat faced by the German army, and they could also eliminate a group of American troops, further weakening the strength of the American army.

It can be said that they killed two birds with one stone!

However, siege warfare is not an easy task.

Even with artillery and air superiority, the German ground forces’ attack is still very difficult!

Fortunately, the German army made a careful plan in advance and conducted special targeted drills for street fighting in advance, so the German soldiers generally performed well in street fighting, at least much better than the American troops on the opposite side.

However, street fighting is a kind of warfare. Fighting is a great test of the soldiers’ nerves.

When the whole city has become a ruin, and the enemy can hide under every ruin, the soldiers will face the threat of being attacked every step they take!

In this case, the soldiers’ nerves must be highly tense, and the mental and psychological pressure is very high.

In addition, the US military did not know what medicine they had taken wrong. They changed their habit of being invincible in the past and became unusually tenacious!

These American soldiers who were trapped in the city not only did not choose to surrender in the face of the German attack, but also stubbornly persisted to the end. One by one, they turned into stones in the pit, smelly and hard, but the German army had no way to deal with them!

“I heard that it was the US military that was smearing us, saying that we abused and massacred prisoners of war, so the American soldiers trapped in the city did not dare to surrender to us!”

“Really? There is such a thing, isn’t it too despicable?”

The German soldiers were indignant and very angry at the smear of the Eagle Sauce.

Although it is said that the Empire does not feed prisoners of war for free and will let them do some work, there is definitely no massacre or abuse.

Letting them work is to let them support themselves, you can’t let them eat for free, right?

After all, the food that the prisoners eat is not conjured out of thin air. If they don’t work, how can they have food to eat? Do they let the people of the Empire provide for them?

What a joke!

So this certainly can’t be considered abuse!

As for the massacre of prisoners of war, the soldiers of the Empire really disdain to do such a thing!

If you want to kill these people, you can kill them on the battlefield. Why go to so much trouble?

Compared with the indignation of the soldiers, Manstein’s mood was very calm.

“The U.S. military’s resistance was so frantic, didn’t it show that they were in a desperate situation and were making their last desperate struggle?”

When Guderian applied for war again and planned to attack Chicago, the capital of the Eagle Sauce, from the Great Lakes region in the north, Manstein rejected his risky plan, patted him on the shoulder, and said to him

“However, the Führer asked us to resolve the battle in North America within this year, return to Europe before February next year, and prepare to launch the final battle against the Russian bear after the spring of April. Now it is November, and we don’t have much time left!

If the battle in North America is ended earlier, the soldiers can return home earlier and have time to rest earlier. In this way, after the spring of next year, we can defeat the Russian bear with an overwhelming force!”

Guderian’s explanation does make some sense. The German army does not have much time left. The war in North America has been going on for a year. It is impossible to delay it any further. If it is delayed any further, it will affect the implementation of other plans of the empire!

Although Europe seems to be stable, the Russian bear in the east is eyeing it covetously. This can never be ignored!

Although the European coalition forces are helping the German army to contain the Russian bear’s energy at this time, so that the German army does not have to worry about the safety of the European headquarters in a short time, it can safely and boldly send more troops to North America.

However, the European coalition forces are a loose alliance after all, not a united whole. On the other hand, the Russian bear on the opposite side meets these conditions!

Although the coalition forces achieved considerable victories at the beginning of the war, the Soviet army was defeated and a lot of the Russian bear’s living forces were annihilated.

However, the Russian bear at that time was seriously affected by the Great Purge. The army was in chaos, the soldiers were depressed, and many officers were purged. This led to the inevitable decline in the combat strength of the Soviet army. Decline.

Under such circumstances, it is normal for the Soviet army to suffer a few defeats under the attack of the European coalition forces!

However, the war potential of the bear is very terrible. Entering the war state early has started the war machine of their entire country.

Factories in various places have switched from producing civilian products to military factories producing military products. Although the industrial strength of the bear in this time and space is not as good as the original bear, under the strong mobilization of the country, these factories still play a very terrible efficiency.

A large number of tanks and artillery were produced and then sent to the front-line troops.

A large number of recruits were recruited and joined the army!

The size of the Soviet army quickly expanded to 7 million in a very short period of time!

This number is extremely terrible, because it has exceeded the sum of the armies of almost all European countries!

Moreover, the size of the bear’s army is still expanding. I am afraid no one knows how much it will eventually reach!

Therefore, the problem of the bear cannot be dragged on, and it must be solved as soon as possible!
