Third Reich: I took over power
Chapter 897
The Army Staff of the Eagle Country issued an order to the Eastern Theater Command, requiring the Eastern Theater Command to temporarily transfer three armies to the Northern Theater Command, and then return them to the Eastern Theater Command after the battle.
This order made the Eastern Theater Commander General Hugh Drum very dissatisfied.
You know, he is definitely a senior general in the Yingjiang Army. Even not as good as General Douglas MacArthur, but not far behind.
Now, General Douglas MacArthur would naturally anger him by forcibly taking three armies from him.
However, the Army Staff had already issued an order, and General Hugh Drum naturally could not disobey it. Otherwise, if the war goes against his will, he may have to take the blame.
Not to mention, not long after receiving the order from the Army Staff, President Franklin personally called.
Under such circumstances, Admiral Hugh Drum could not refuse and could only obey the order.
However, this does not mean that he is willing to do so.
General Hugh Drum ordered the 8th Army, 9th Army and 10th Army to be temporarily handed over to the command of the Northern Theater Command. These three group armies can be regarded as the three with poor combat effectiveness among the ten group armies in the Eastern Theater. Moreover, when these troops set off, they deliberately created difficulties so that they could not quickly go to the northern theater to obey orders. This undoubtedly delayed time, making General Douglas MacArthur very angry, but there was nothing he could do against General Hugh Dowding.
But no matter what, General Douglas MacArthur's combat intentions have been realized.
He was able to re-activate four armies with 1.6 million men and send them to the front line. This was undoubtedly a huge pressure on Army Group Northern of the Third Reich.
You must know that in this battle, if the Imperial Army on which the sun never sets is included, the total number of enemies of Army Group North of the Third Reich has reached 6.2 million, which is already four times the total strength of Army Group North. Want more.
Even though Army Group North has strong combat effectiveness, it can still be supported by powerful naval and air forces. It is still difficult to defeat so many enemies. Let alone defeat them at a relatively small cost.
Naturally, the mobilization of the Yingjiang Kingdom's army could not be hidden from the Third Reich.
After the Eagle Country Army Air Force had suffered devastating losses, they were no longer able to prevent the Third Reich's reconnaissance aircraft from operating in the Eagle Country's airspace.
At the same time, intelligence officers from the Third Reich's Military Intelligence Service were also active. As the war became more and more unfavorable to the Eagle Country, more and more people, officials and even soldiers of the Eagle Country were bribed by the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Third Reich and became traitors. They were all promised that after the demise of the Eagle Country, they would be protected by the Third Reich so that they could continue to live a good life and ensure their own interests. This made these traitors naturally willing to sell the confidential information of the Eagle Country to the Third Reich, including military intelligence.
Therefore, the news that the Northern Theater Command of the Eagle Kingdom obtained three armies from the Eastern Theater Command and put them into the Northern Theater Command was already known to the Third Reich before the three armies in the Eastern Theater Command were deployed.
So much so that when Marshal Guderian, commander of Army Group North of the Third Reich, and General Richard Ruoff, chief of staff, heard the news, they both knew that they were in big trouble this time.
"Does that guy MacArthur think too highly of us? They actually mobilized so many troops to besiege us. If we really survive this battle, they will be dead! Marshal Guderian laughed.
"Commander, what should we do? Once reinforcements from the four armies of the Eagle Country arrive, our 20th Army and 23rd Army will be the first to be attacked by them. These two armies, even with two marine divisions, only amount to 400,000 people. I'm afraid I can't bear it."General Richard Ruoff reminded.
After all, the two armies and two marine divisions of the Third Reich must simultaneously blockade the 1.6 million Eagle Army and the 800,000 Japanese troops in the second encirclement. The Imperial Army cannot break through. If they are attacked by the four armies of the Eagle Kingdom with 1.6 million people, then they will really have to fight one against ten.
Even the elite army of the Third Reich, after receiving powerful It is difficult to withstand the situation without air support.
Marshal Guderian also frowned. He was very aware of the problem this time.
"The air force is required to bombard the reinforcements of the Eagle Country with all its strength and slow them down as much as possible. Our operations on the Nova Scotia peninsula must be accelerated. After taking care of them, we can deploy more troops to the battlefield. At that time, it will not be a problem to eat the enemies in the second encirclement and resist the attack of the Yingjiang Country's reinforcements."Marshal Guderian said
"Your Excellency, Commander, our battle on the Nova Scotia Peninsula has entered its final moments. The three armies of the Yingjiang Kingdom have been completely disabled by us, and they are surrounded in several small areas and resisting stubbornly. As for the 200,000 soldiers of the Imperial Army on which the sun never sets, they had already been annihilated by us. It is expected that they can be dealt with within three days."General Richard Ruoff said.
After hearing the news, Marshal Guderian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great, it looks like we still have a chance! Order all troops to increase the intensity of their attacks. Troops on the Nova Scotia Peninsula, be prepared to move to other battlefields!"Marshal Guderian ordered
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"General Richard Ruoff replied.
At the same time, the Third Reich has also received relevant news on the North American battlefield. Although Marshal Guderian did not ask for help, the Third Reich still had to respond.
"Your Excellency, the Eagle Country has dispatched three armies from the Eastern Theater Command to go north to join the Northern Theater Command to deal with the Northern Army Group. This, to a certain extent, left its Eastern Theater Force empty of troops. It's time for us to go out!" Marshal Manstein, commander of Army Group Central, requested.
Army Group South and Army Group North were both fighting fiercely in the Eagle Country. The fighting made the Army of Eagle Country extremely embarrassed, which had long made the troops of the Central Army Group feel itchy.
"Okay, let's attack with Army Group Center. The Yingjiang Kingdom naturally invested a large number of troops in the northern battlefield. Then, we will launch a counterattack in the eastern region of Eagle Sauce Country."Hess made the decision
"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"Marshal Manstein was immediately overjoyed.
