Third Reich: I took over power

Atlanta, U.S. Army Southern Theater Command.

The theater commander, General Dwight Eisenhower, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Joseph McDowney, were looking at the telegram with sad faces.

They already knew that the Third Reich's attack had begun.

But the current situation is really unfavorable for them.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we were attacked by the Third Reich Air Force. The other party used some method to avoid detection by the Army Air Force's air search radar, so that we were unable to complete our preparations. The entire Army Air Force was completely destroyed, and air supremacy had fallen into the hands of the Third Reich Air Force." said Lt. Gen. Joseph McDowney.

"Damn it! Does this mean that in the next war, our soldiers will have to fight against the German aerial bombing and strafing? That will make us pay a greater price in the war. In fact, they will be defeated by their huge air superiority!"General Dwight Eisenhower was very angry.

Although he had predicted before the war started that the Army Air Force no longer had to fight and was already vulnerable. But he did not expect that the Army Air Force would be so easily was defeated

"Your Excellency, the Navy and Air Force of the Third Reich are launching a heavy artillery and bombing campaign against Fort Myers, Tampa, Miami, and Jacksonville on the Florida Peninsula. The defense line we built has been almost destroyed by them. The troops on the front line also suffered heavy losses. It is expected that the Third Reich will land in these four places. Maybe one of these four places. It may also be a few." Lieutenant General Joseph McDowney continued.

"There is the defense zone of the 21st Army and the 28th Army. Can they withstand the Third Reich's attack? General Dwight Eisenhower asked.

Lieutenant General Joseph McDownie shook his head:"This is very difficult." Generals Stanley Embick and Robert Eckleburg had sent telegrams requesting reinforcements. If the main force of the Third Reich landed on the Florida Peninsula, they should not be a match for the other party. Unless we send more troops into the Florida Peninsula"

"No, we can no longer send troops into the Florida Peninsula. We have already deployed three entire armies there, totaling 1.2 million people. The terrain there is not suitable for sending more troops. Otherwise, they will only pay a greater price under the shelling and bombing of the Third Reich's navy and air force. We need to assemble the main force and stand ready in the inland areas."Admiral Dwight Eisenhower shook his head repeatedly.

Without sea control and air control, they really suffered a huge disadvantage when fighting the Third Reich in the coastal area.

Lieutenant General Joseph McDowney nodded:"Then What about the 21st Army, 26th Army and 28th Army?"

"Order them to stand their ground and stop the Third Reich as much as possible. If they can't resist anymore, I will allow them to retreat!" said Gen. Dwight Eisenhower.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander! Lieutenant General Joseph McDownie replied.

The commanders of the 21st Army, 26th Army and 28th Army of the Eagle Army also breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the telegram from the theater headquarters.

The Third Reich Such powerful sea and air firepower has made their troops almost lose their courage and their fighting spirit is about to collapse.

Under such circumstances, if Admiral Dwight Eisenhower asked them to stick to the Florida Peninsula and fight to the end, that would be Let them die. They would never do that.

And now, General Dwight Eisenhower allows them to retreat when they cannot resist, which undoubtedly allows them to save their lives. They have a way out in the next battle.

The generals of Yingjiang Country cherish their lives very much. In war, they often don't joke with their own lives. Those ordinary people The soldiers can go and die. But they are generals, so they naturally have to try their best to survive. Anyway, even if they lose the battle, there is a high probability that they will not be held accountable. On the afternoon of

April 7, half a day passed After the fire preparations, the Third Reich's attack finally began.

The Third Reich Marine Division's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Marine Divisions were at Fort Myers, Tampa, Miami, and Jacksonville launched a landing operation.

One after another, helicopter carriers sailed to the sea area less than ten kilometers away from the coast.

And a large number of transport ships arrived only a few kilometers away from the coast. Landing crafts one after another came from the transport ships. Put it down, carrying the officers and soldiers of the Marine Corps, and rushed to the beach.

In the sky, fighter planes were hovering, constantly attacking the positions of the Eagle Army, providing air support for the landing of the Marine Corps.

On the sea , the battleships were also firing violently.

The 380mm main guns of the battleships, the 210mm main guns of the heavy cruisers, the 150mm main guns of the light cruisers, and even the secondary guns of various calibers were all firing violently.

Those destroyers, even more Arriving at a place only two or three kilometers away from the coast, they used their 105mm main gun, 88mm secondary gun and 40mm rapid-fire gun to wildly rain down artillery shells on the coast. Densely packed artillery shells fell on the Yingjiang Army's position, allowing intruders to The Eagle Army soldiers in the position could not resist it at all. Countless Eagle Army soldiers who had just entered the position were blown to pieces.

On the sea, landing craft one after another were charging rapidly. Soldiers of the Marine Corps They lay on it, avoiding the rain of bullets.

Helicopters flew over their heads. These armed helicopters and transport helicopters would all join in the attack on the Eagle Defense Line, suppressing the firepower of the Eagle Country Army. Cover the landing of the Marine Corps.

Under the powerful firepower of the Third Reich Navy and Air Force, the Eagle Army suffered heavy losses. Naturally, it was unable to pose much of a threat to the Third Reich Marine Corps, making these naval forces The Marines can rush to the beach and complete the landing at a relatively low cost.

However, rushing to the beach is only the first step. They must also gain a foothold on the beach and establish a solid beachhead. In this way, more troops can be safely ashore and the troops can be gathered to launch an attack on the defense line of the Eagle Army.
