Jagged Germany - Chapter 1734
The tracks of a “King Tiger” heavy tank rolled over the trenches on the US military positions. A trench more than one meter wide was nothing to a heavy tank at all, and it was easily crossed.
The American soldiers hiding in the trenches popped up at this time, trying to launch rockets at the weak position behind the tank.
However, the infantry fighting behind the tanks instantly smashed these American soldiers into sieves.
Although a tank is a powerful weapon, it still needs the cooperation of infantry in combat. Tanks provide protection for infantry with powerful defenses, and at the same time clear obstacles for infantry attacks with sharp tank guns. At the same time, the infantry provided close protection for the tanks, preventing the tanks from being attacked by local infantry.
It can be said that the German army is already very proficient in the tactics of infantry-tank coordination. This makes the German army invincible on the battlefield and can easily defeat those powerful enemies.
“Ah, run, the German tanks are coming up.” An American soldier exclaimed.
When the German tanks rushed to the U.S. positions, a large number of soldiers were scared to the ground.
American soldiers who ran a little slower were unlucky, and were directly run over by German tanks. There was a long bloodstain on the ground. Even in the gaps of the tracks, there is a lot of minced meat mixed in. This scene looked very bloody. However, on the cruel battlefield, no one cares about these at all.
On the battlefield, there are only two kinds of people, our own and the enemy. Then, the enemy is naturally dead. Use all kinds of ways to kill the enemy, so as to ensure your own safety.
When more and more German tanks rushed to the US positions, the US defense line inevitably collapsed. It is impossible for the American soldiers on the ground to stop these steel monsters. Even some very **** soldiers rushed towards the German tanks with cluster grenades or explosives, trying to blow them up. But there are very few who really succeed. More American soldiers have not been close to the German tanks, but they have been screened by the tank’s self-defense machine guns or the weapons in the hands of the infantry following the tanks.
The battle was very fierce, but the German army was constantly approaching. In the case of heavy losses, the U.S. military inevitably suffered a defeat.
Large sections of the defense line fell into the hands of the German army, and their carefully constructed defense line was so easily crushed by the German army.
“God! The Germans are terrible. Their tanks are impenetrable at all. They are weapons of the devil. How can we fight the devil?” an American anti-tank soldier said in horror.
Before, a 57mm anti-tank gun fired at a “King Tiger” heavy tank at a distance of 500 meters. The armor-piercing projectile accurately hit the front armor of the ‘King Tiger’ heavy tank. However, the shell failed to penetrate the armor and was directly bounced off by the armor. This scared the American soldiers enough.
They can muster up the courage to fight the mighty Germans. However, it is impossible to let them continue to fight when they know that they must die! This also caused the morale of the US military to begin to decline rapidly.
Washington, U.S. Army General Staff, Underground Command.
Admiral Marshall’s office was already filled with smoke. Even though the exhaust fan is pumping out the smoke inside with the maximum power, it still cannot improve the air condition inside. Several generals of the US military are smoking heavily, no wonder the air here is very bad.
These generals of the US military have bitter faces. The German offensive had just begun, allowing their defenses to be easily breached. The generals of the US military seem to be using smoking to suppress the fear in their hearts.
“Gentlemen, the Germans launched an offensive with a large number of armored troops. Now our first line of defense has been broken by the Germans. The troops have suffered heavy losses, and the remaining troops have withdrawn to the second line of defense. However, the Germans are now Judging from the attack power, the second line of defense may still be unable to stop the German attack.” Admiral Marshall said with a serious face.
Everyone knows that this is the last battle of the United States. If they cannot withstand the German attack in this battle, the United States will be completely finished. Therefore, they tried their best to build a defense line, trying to rely on a solid defense line to resist the German attack. But it now appears that their efforts have little chance of success. The German offensive was even more violent than they had expected!
“General, we must reinforce the second line of defense. Otherwise, the Germans will crush our two lines of defense within a day. If this is the case, we will not last long in Washington.” Major General Eisenhower suggested road.
The U.S. military has a huge army in Washington, although most of them are newly formed troops with limited combat effectiveness. But if it can be played well, it can still explode with strong combat effectiveness. Therefore, the U.S. military hopes to rely on these troops to resist the German attack.
“Instead of investing more troops, it is better to put armored units into battle. The Germans’ powerful attack is mainly because their armored units have a strong assault force. As long as they resist the attack of the German armored units, then, It will be very easy to resist the German attack.” Lieutenant General Leslie McNair said. He is the assistant chief of staff of the U.S. Army and can be regarded as a senior general of the U.S. Army.
“Armored troops? Although our armored forces are not weak, they are still far behind the Germans. The previous battles have undoubtedly proved this point.” Deputy Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Joseph McNerney said .
“We still have 17 armored divisions and as many as 40 mechanized infantry divisions. We are fully capable of confronting the Germans. If we keep it unused, it will be a waste.” Major General Eisenhower also said. He also supported launching a counterattack to stem the momentum of the German offensive.
General Marshall thought about it, and knew that if he didn’t find a way to stop the German offensive, their defense lines would be breached one after another. At that time, it will be impossible for American dramas to persist in Washington for a longer period of time, or even resist the German attack.
“Let the armored forces get ready and dispatch in an hour. This time, 7 armored divisions and 14 mechanized infantry divisions will be deployed to launch a counterattack. I hope to repel the German attack in one fell swoop.” Admiral Marshall made a choice.
