MTL - Jagged Germany-Chapter 1728 The tide is over
Massades, a small town in northern Maine. However, this place has become the headquarters of the besieged US troops. Nearly one million U.S. troops were surrounded by the German army here, unable to advance or retreat.
The entire small town is now in ruins. After being surrounded, the shelling and bombing of the German army has not been interrupted. Even at night, the German artillery would launch an attack, which not only caused the casualties of the US military to soar, but also prevented the US troops in the encirclement from resting. Many US military officers and soldiers now have big dark circles and lost a lot of weight. Some people have even become neurotic.
At night, some American soldiers dare not sleep. They were afraid of being hit by German artillery shells in their sleep, and then went to see God. No one can sustain it for a long time.
In an underground headquarters in Masades, several army commanders of the US military were sitting at the conference table with sad faces. These generals, like roosters who have been defeated, looked very embarrassed.
Originally, the German army landed on the North American continent, which certainly worried them. But they also believe that the U.S. military still has the strength to confront the German army. At least, they are no worse than the German army in terms of strength or weaponry.
But after a big battle, they were beaten to the ground by the German army and suffered heavy losses. This also allowed them to see how big the gap with the German army was. Now, they have been surrounded by the German army, and their final fate can be imagined.
"Didn't you say that reinforcements will be sent to rescue us? Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet after fighting for so many days?" an American general said dissatisfied. The more this goes on, the more uncertain everyone will be!
"Don't count on it. The telegram just sent this morning said that the reinforcements were stopped in Portland, and there was no way to go north. Besides, the people of the 24th and 25th Army are not fools. They naturally know that only two Even if the group army breaks through the German interception, it will be a dead end. Not only will it not save us, but it will also fall into the German encirclement.” Lieutenant General Robert Eckleberg, Commander of the Eighth Army Said rather helplessly.
Actually, these generals are also very clear about the current situation. At this point in the war, there are not many choices left for them.
"Then what should we do now? Are we just waiting to die here? The Germans are firing fiercely, using shells and bombs to consume our strength. Soon they will launch a general offensive. At that time, we will all die." The commander of the 9th Army Group said.
"How about we break through!" A general suggested.
"Break out? How to break out? We are short of weapons and food, as well as fuel and ammunition. The Germans have assembled millions of troops outside the encirclement. They also have a large number of tanks, armored vehicles and planes, as well as those annoying helicopters. Break out rashly If not, it is impossible to succeed at all, and you will even seek your own death." Some generals retorted.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should we do?"
Indeed, it is undoubtedly very annoying for the US military in the encirclement now. If you continue to stay in the encirclement, you will be dead. But breaking through is also a dead end. It seems that no matter what choice you make, you are dead.
"What is the order of the General Staff?" a general asked.
"The General Staff wants us to break out to the south. They will send additional troops to attack Maine and pick us up." Lieutenant General Robert Eckleberg said with a black face.
"Bastard! Do those guys think we are fools? Masades is more than two hundred kilometers away from Portland. We have no supplies, no food, and we have to break through the German blockade and interception. I'm afraid we haven't hit yet Portland, let's all die. No, this is clearly asking us to die!" A general looked angry.
Indeed, other U.S. military generals also believed that such an order was not feasible, and it was clear that they were sent to die. Although, the bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders. However, if you want them to die like this, few people are willing to do it.
The meeting ended without discussing any results. It is impossible for these US generals to implement the orders issued by the US Army General Staff. If they issued such an order, the officers and soldiers under them would probably rebel against them immediately.
The next day, the German shelling and bombing became more violent. Shells and bombs fell like raindrops, repeatedly bombing the last gathering place of the US military. A large number of American officers and soldiers were killed by German shelling and bombing. The strength of the US military within the encirclement is constantly being weakened. Even the morale of the troops has been greatly affected by this.
In the afternoon, the German army launched an offensive. The main forces of the four armies of Army Group A, as well as the main forces of the Army of the Kingdom of England and Wales, participated in this attack.
The U.S. military, which has suffered heavy losses and has low morale, simply cannot withstand the attack of the elite German army. Even the British army can easily defeat these American troops who lack ammunition.
The battle went very smoothly, and the German armored forces easily broke through the US defense line. The tanks and armored vehicles of the US military were either destroyed by German fighter planes and helicopters. Either it was scrapped due to lack of fuel or replacement parts. This allowed them to only rely on some anti-tank weapons to fight against German armored forces.
The German attack was also supported by a large number of fighter planes and helicopters. This made their offensive very smooth, and the US military could not resist it at all.
Under such circumstances, many American officers and soldiers wisely chose to raise their hands and surrender to the Germans. Even, some troops began to surrender in an organized way. This made the German advance faster.
By evening, all the U.S. troops in the encirclement had been wiped out by the Germans. Either he was killed by the US military during the battle, or he obediently raised his hands and surrendered to the German army.
So far, the ten elite group armies deployed by the US military in Maine have all been annihilated by the German army. This is definitely a heavy blow to the US military.
The German Army Group A's offensive in New York State and Vermont was very smooth. It has already defeated the troops deployed by the US military in these two states and continued to approach Washington. The German Army Group C also swept across the Great Lakes region.
With the German army approaching and the U.S. military retreating steadily, everyone can see that the American Republic is hopeless.
