Jagged Germany-Chapter 1737: despair
"Surrender, we won't fight anymore, we surrender!" An American soldier got out of the trench with a look of horror, raised his hands, and surrendered to the German army.
The German army discovered this situation and stopped firing.
Subsequently, more American soldiers got out. They raised their hands one by one and surrendered directly to the German army.
"It's really boring. Why are these Americans surrendering? Isn't it bloodless?" A German soldier looked disdainful. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m
After yesterday's tank battle ended, the German army pursued the victory and broke through the second line of defense of the US military in one fell swoop. Now, the German army has begun to attack the third line of defense of the US military with all its strength. As long as they can occupy the third line of defense, the German army will be less than ten kilometers away from downtown Washington. At that time, the German army can directly assemble a large number of artillery and blast downtown Washington into ruins.
The successive victories of the German army naturally caused the morale of the US military to plummet. In the rapid advance of the German army, American troops continued to surrender. These American soldiers were obviously frightened by yesterday's tank battle.
In the tank battle yesterday, the U.S. military invested 12 armored divisions and 24 mechanized infantry divisions, with a total of more than 6,000 tanks of various types. The German army invested 10 armored divisions and 20 mechanized infantry divisions, with a total of more than 5,000 Tiger and Leopard tanks.
Although the U.S. military invested more tanks, the final result was completely different. The German army lost thousands of tanks in the fierce battle. Of the more than 6,000 US tanks, only a thousand or so escaped in the end. The rest of the tanks were either destroyed by the Germans during the fierce battle. Or simply surrendered to the Germans. In desperation, it is understandable that the American tank soldiers surrendered. After all, if you continue to fight, there is no doubt that there is only a dead end. And if you surrender, you can save your life.
Of course, yesterday's tank battle, the German Air Force's bombers and armed helicopters also played a big role. The number of US tanks destroyed by bombers and armed helicopters alone exceeded a thousand. More importantly, this condescending blow has greatly affected the morale of the US military. This allowed the German army to easily win the final victory.
The aftermath of the Tank War is probably that the U.S. military has become less confident in victory. If they still had the guts to continue fighting with the Germans before, then now, most of the American officers and soldiers, even those senior generals, may not have the confidence to continue fighting. None of them thought that the U.S. military would be able to withstand the German attack in the next battle, let alone defeat the German army. This also caused a large number of American soldiers to surrender to the Germans during the battle. Even some troops have already surrendered as an organization. After all, for these US troops, if they continue to fight, they may lose their lives. Only by surrendering, and if you surrender earlier, can you save your own life, and that is the most important thing.
"This battle seems to be coming to an end, and the Americans have no courage to fight anymore. The next battle will be much easier to fight." A German major general had a smile on his face.
"Yes, General. I really didn't expect that the mighty United States would be so vulnerable. Even the fighting power shown by the Russians is stronger than them." A colonel officer said.
Indeed, the combat effectiveness shown by the U.S. military in this war is really surprising.
You know, the United States is a country with a very strong industry and advanced technology. Even, many people think that the United States is the only powerful country in the world that can challenge Germany. If there is any country that can replace Germany and become the hegemony of the world, then this country will be the United States.
However, now the United States has collapsed under the German attack. It has been full of plans, and it has only been half a month since the German army attacked North America. After deducting the cold winter, if the German army only launched strategic bombing and did not have time to launch a ground offensive, it took the German army only three months to defeat the United States, which is really surprising.
The generals of the German army originally thought that even if they wanted to defeat the United States, the German army might face a hard battle. After all, the U.S. military is fighting at home and has great advantages. The German army was on an expedition across the Atlantic to North America, and logistical supplies alone were enough to cause the German army a headache. And now such a result is a complete surprise for the German generals!
"The Americans have fallen into despair. This war will soon end. Order all troops to continue to accelerate the attack. Before sunset today, take down the third line of defense of the US military and advance further to Washington!" Mann Marshal Stein ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Marshal."
"In addition, make preparations for the troops deployed in the southeast, south and southwest of Washington. The U.S. military must not be allowed to flee Washington. This time, our goal is to wipe them all out." Marshal Manstein ordered.
The strategic goal of the German army this time is to wipe out all the U.S. troops gathered in Washington. Only in this way can the United States be resolved once and for all. If the U.S. troops gathered in Washington escaped, and the German army wanted to wipe out these U.S. troops on the vast territory of the United States, it would be a big trouble. Even, it will give them a chance to revive. Therefore, the German army must avoid such a situation as much as possible.
The troops deployed on the outskirts of Washington are nothing more than the servants of the German army. But in the case of the continuous victory of the German army, those servants can also be regarded as high-spirited. If fighting head-on, these servants may not be the opponents of the US military. However, they still have no problem withstanding the attack of the US military in defensive operations.
"Dear General, I am the commander of the 156th Division of the US Army. On behalf of more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the entire division, I surrender to your army. I hope that your army can give us humanitarian treatment." A US major general and division commander led the troops out of the position. Voluntarily surrendered to the German army.
This is the first time that the US military with a divisional scale has surrendered to the German army. And this undoubtedly indicates that the US military has completely lost confidence and is completely desperate. It is precisely because of this that they would rather bear the humiliation and infamy than surrender to the German army. In the face of glory and life, they chose the latter.
"On behalf of the German Imperial Army, I accept your surrender." A German major general took over his gun from the American major general with a proud face.
