Chapter 1096
Just as the meeting between the president and the general began in the White House, in the north, Manstein, after learning that the initial landing operation was successful, did not hesitate to immediately send Steiner’s troops to reinforce, and contacted the Air Force to prepare for departure at dawn.
The airborne troops of the Air Force can help the landing troops expand the control area, and even threaten the rear of the enemy. If there are really enemies coming to encircle them, the airborne troops will definitely give the enemy an unexpected blow!
After doing all this, he was still not at ease. If he were the commander of the US military, he would definitely withdraw troops to put out these fires at all costs when he learned that the backyard was on fire!
Therefore, the two German troops that have landed may face extremely severe challenges!
In this case, he must exert great pressure on the enemy on the southern front to prevent the enemy from transferring troops to the north!
So, Manstein sent a telegram to Guderian overnight, asking his First Army to launch a full-line counterattack immediately.
Not only that, in the east, the Third Army and the Fourth Army also began to move.
The two armies assembled 600,000 troops and more than 5,000 artillery pieces, and launched an unprecedented fierce bombardment on the positions guarded by the US military!
The roar of the 5,000 artillery pieces was extremely spectacular.
The flaming red shells whizzing through the sky and the explosion sparks produced after landing almost lit up the earth.
The positions of the US military under the bombardment almost turned into a sea of fire in an instant, and countless US soldiers died forever in their sleep!
The sudden fierce attack launched by the German army made the US military nervous across the board.
They didn’t know what the German army was going to do.
Was it going to launch a final general offensive?
Although most of the US soldiers had expected this day, when this day came, they were still extremely uneasy and terrified!
“Attack, let them see our steel torrent!”
The German artillery attack had just ended, the smoke on the US positions had not yet dissipated, and the fire had not yet been extinguished, when Guderian had already jumped onto a tank and led the attack with a loud shout!
Behind him, a steel torrent composed of 1,200 tanks swept towards the US positions like a rushing flood!
The US troops, who had long been blown to pieces and dizzy by the artillery bombardment, felt that the ground under their feet seemed to be shaking before they recovered!
“Look, it’s the German tanks, the German tanks are coming!”
In the dark night, when the German tanks revealed their ferocious appearance from the pitch-black night, all the American soldiers on the position were frightened!
At this time, their morale was at its lowest and their defense line was at its weakest. The German attack could be said to have chosen a good time!
Moreover, it was the German armored forces that were in charge of the attack, and it was an armored cluster of thousands of tanks attacking collectively!
Facing such an armored cluster, the US military really didn’t have any good solution!
“Fire, fire, you must stop them!”
“Machine gunners, attack the accompanying infantry behind their tanks to disrupt their formation!”
“Demolition team, prepare explosive packs. Once the enemy tanks approach, rush up and kill them!”
On the battlefield, seeing the whistling German tanks, while his companions were still immersed in the shock brought by the German tank cluster, General Patton had already begun to run and shout, wanting to let his soldiers recover from the shock and let them quickly get into shape, so as to resist the enemy’s attack!
His efforts have achieved some results. Some soldiers recovered under his command, gritted their teeth, picked up their weapons, hid, and prepared to meet the enemy’s upcoming attack.
And some other soldiers were completely scared. It was good that they did not take the lead in running away. It was simply a foolish dream to expect them to fight at this time.
But General Patton couldn’t care so much at the moment. He could only pray in his heart that he and his troops could survive this!
……
“Mr. President, have you really made up your mind?”
After hearing President Roosevelt’s decision, Admiral Pershing’s hands trembled slightly, and the coffee in his hand almost spilled.
“Well, I’ve thought about it!”
President Roosevelt smiled reluctantly. It was obvious that he was unwilling. No one wanted to destroy such a great country with their own hands!
As the president of the Eagle Sauce, Roosevelt knew very well what his decision meant!
This decision meant that there would no longer be a country called Eagle Sauce in the world from now on!
He didn’t know how future history books would evaluate him, nor how hundreds of millions of Eagle Sauce people would view his decision!
But he had no other choice!
A ceasefire at this moment might not be the best option, but there were almost no other options available to them!
The enemy had already… The battle has reached their doorstep, and there are powerful enemies in front and behind. Their last shelter will soon be gone!
At that time, are they expected to run to the islands of the Great Lakes to resist?
This is impossible!
Even if they really do this, they cannot stop the German attack.
After they failed again and again on the battlefield, today’s result was doomed!
In this situation, if they continue to fight, their country will be destroyed, and it will be a humiliating destruction!
The scenes of the British mainland being captured, the capital being bombed and burned, always appear in his mind these days.
Fog City, this The once largest metropolis in the world has now become a ruin. Of the tens of millions of residents in this city, only a few are left alive!
War is cruel. In pursuit of victory, people have invented more powerful and lethal weapons one after another!
In their battles with the German army, they have already felt how powerful the German army is.
And judging from the past and present performance of the German army, if they resist stubbornly, the German army really doesn’t mind destroying them all!
If it were just me, then it might be easier to say!
However, those people who are willing to support the Eagle Sauce are innocent. They All the way they were defeated, these people never left, even when they only had Michigan left, these people followed!
This resulted in tens of millions of American citizens crowded on the land of Michigan!
Once this place became a battlefield, no one could be sure how many of these people would be killed or injured!
President Roosevelt, as an American president, was unable to protect these citizens, and he already felt guilty.
At this time, he couldn’t sacrifice these people for a predetermined result!
