“What happened? Why did such a German army appear among us without us noticing it at all?”
A German army rushed into their team without anyone noticing it, and they had no idea before. This was extremely dangerous for the retreating American troops!
Fortunately, judging from the reaction of the German army, this German army obviously did not know that they had accidentally run to the US military base, so they did not go straight to the US military headquarters at the first time!
Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!
Imagine if this German army knew the location of the US military headquarters, and directly deployed heavy troops to rush towards MacArthur’s headquarters after the battle started, without any defense… Under such circumstances, the US military command could not stop the German army with only one guard battalion. If they could not stop the German attack, it meant that their command would most likely be wiped out!
The retreat of more than one million troops is a complex and huge project. They have to count the positions and strength of all the troops in various aspects in a timely manner, and assign tasks according to the strength of the enemy they are facing. It is extremely difficult to arrange these tasks in an orderly manner!
It can be said that the survival of the entire army depends on the US military command. On the body!
If the headquarters was taken away by the enemy, the U.S. military would be in chaos. At that time, let alone breaking through, there would be no coordination between the various troops, which was destined to become a mess. Each unit would fight on its own, and then retreat would become a disaster. The U.S. military might be annihilated here!
So thinking of this serious consequence, MacArthur couldn’t help but sweat in his heart. Fortunately, the enemy did not figure out the exact location of his headquarters, otherwise it would not only be him who was in danger, but the entire army would be in danger! However
, since this army came, it must be coming for their headquarters!
At this time, their headquarters was not exposed, which did not mean that they would not be exposed all the time.
In particular, the U.
S.
military headquarters had been sending and receiving telegrams in order to get in touch with various troops, which caused their signals to be abnormally frequent.
The German army only needed to carry communication equipment and test it a little bit, and it would be easy to find the location of their headquarters.
At that time, the other party might not give up!
Thinking of this, MacArthur still felt very uneasy. This German army must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise, if they stayed for a while, they would be in greater danger!
“What military forces are near us?”
“The 7th and 11th Divisions are also nearby!”
“Send them into battle immediately and make sure to wipe out this German army!”
……
After figuring out his position, Guderian paused!
“After fighting for a lifetime, he never expected to be a scout and pierce into the heart of the enemy!
Being a scout was indeed a bit refreshing, but Guderian knew very well that this was a very dangerous job, especially after they accidentally ran close to the enemy!
“MacArthur must be treating me as a thorn in his side and wants to get rid of me as soon as possible, right?”
Guderian stood in the US military’s perspective, thinking for MacArthur, and immediately realized his own danger!
“How far are the troops in the rear from us? When will they be able to support us?”It is very difficult to resist the enemy’s attack with only the one division in our hands, oh no, it is more than half a division. The US military has not figured out the strength of the German army at this time, but they will soon find out, and once they find out that the German army has less than one division, they will immediately send heavy troops to encircle and suppress it!
At that time, it will definitely not be able to stop it with only the few people in his hands, so he must find out the position of his friendly forces!
If the friendly forces can support us in the first time, then he can take a solid defensive approach, based on defense, delay the enemy, wait for the arrival of follow-up troops, and then eat up the opponent with the advantage of manpower.
However, if the troops in the rear are too far away and cannot arrive in a short time, then this tactic cannot be adopted, and other tactics must be changed!
“The nearest army to us is the 13th Armored Division of the Second Army, but they are about 50 kilometers away from us, and it will take about an hour and a half to arrive!”
After the soldier reported this information, he looked at Guderian, and his eyes clearly asked, can they hold off the heavy siege of the US military for an hour?
Guderian touched his chin. He was very good at offensive battles, but he was obviously not as good as Model in defensive battles. If Model himself was in command here at this time, let alone an hour and a half, even five or ten hours would not be a problem.
But Guderian was not so sure!
“No, the reinforcements are too far away. If we rely on the army alone, we have no chance of winning this battle!”
Guderian did not intend to play to his weaknesses and avoid his strengths. He was good at attacking, so he should carry out the attack to the end. After all, people often say that offense is the best defense.
Instead of passively defending and waiting for the enemy’s siege, it is better to take the initiative to attack and disrupt the enemy’s deployment, so that the enemy cannot encircle them with all their strength!
Moreover, as long as they knock out the enemy’s headquarters, the US military will be in chaos. By then, there is probably no need to fight, and the US military will scatter like birds and beasts!
However, although Guderian is radical, he is not reckless. The troops in his hands are too small, and the status of personnel and weapons and equipment is not in the best condition. It is very difficult for them to knock out the enemy’s headquarters by themselves, so they need the cooperation of friendly forces!
“General, do you mean that we should call for air force support?”
When Guderian mentioned the word”army”, the people around him immediately understood that the friendly support Guderian was talking about was the air force!
“That’s right, we have a group of B-52 strategic bombers stationed in Florida. With the speed of these aircraft, they can reach the battlefield in half an hour. As long as we can determine the location of the enemy headquarters, we don’t need to rush into the battle ourselves. We only need to report the approximate location to the Air Force and let them use large-scale lethal weapons such as thermobaric bombs and napalm bombs to resolve the battle!”
