Third Reich: I took over power
Chapter 898
On April 25, 1943, when Army Group North of the Third Reich was engaged in a fierce battle with the Northern Theater Command of the Eagle Kingdom and the Imperial Army on which the sun never sets in the Nova Scotia Peninsula and New Brunswick, the Army Group Central of the Third Reich All units under the group's jurisdiction have completed boarding the ship.
The Third Reich Navy dispatched a huge fleet headed by the 1st Battleship Group and the 1st Aircraft Carrier Group to escort more than 1,500 transport ships and merchant ships, leaving Europe and directly across the Atlantic to the Eagle Country. Eastern coast.
Perhaps because the Yingjiang Kingdom's eyes were attracted to the northern battlefield, they did not realize that another main army group of the Third Reich had already attacked.
The victory or defeat of the Third Reich and the Eagle Country on the northern battlefield has been directly related to the progress of this war. If the northern war zone of Yingjiang Country suffered a disastrous defeat. Then, the empire on which the sun never sets will be the first to be destroyed. Immediately afterwards, the main force of the Third Reich's Northern Army Group can drive straight in from the northeastern coast of Eagle Country and even the Great Lakes region, and invade the hinterland of Eagle Country. This will cause the northern front of Yingjiang Country to completely collapse. The Third Reich will gain an absolute advantage in this battle.
The senior officials of the Eagle Country, including the Franklin administration, have high hopes for the northern theater. After all, they dispatched a large number of troops. Three armies were even dispatched from the Eastern Theater to assist in the battle.
With an absolutely superior force, the chance of victory in the northern theater of Yingjiang Country is still very high.
Even though their reinforcements were violently bombed by the Third Reich Air Force, a large amount of heavy equipment was lost. And sluggish. However, their military advantage is too great.
Once these reinforcements arrive on the battlefield and launch a pincer attack on Army Group Northern of the Third Reich, Army Group Northern will be doomed.
But alas, they seem to have forgotten. On the Nova Scotia Peninsula, the Third Reich also had four infantry armies, one armored army, and two marine divisions besieging the three armies of the Eagle Country.
Although the three armies of the Yingjiang Kingdom amounted to 1.2 million people, their strength was greater than that of the Third Reich. However, they were completely at a disadvantage on the battlefield. Under the naval gunfire of the Third Reich Navy and the air strikes of carrier-based aircraft, a heavy price had been paid. Coupled with the massive bombing by the Third Reich Air Force, they suffered huge casualties.
Especially heavy weapons and equipment were severely damaged. Many tanks, armored vehicles and even heavy artillery were destroyed by the fighter planes of the Third Reich Air Force and Navy without playing much role.
So much so that they could only use anti-tank weapons to deal with the tanks of the Third Reich on the battlefield.
Although, in order to defend against the powerful armored forces of the Third Reich, the Eagle Country equipped its army with a large number of anti-tank guns. But the power of these anti-tank guns cannot be overstated. It was difficult to face the Panther medium tanks of the Third Reich, let alone the Tiger heavy tanks with more powerful defenses. As for the King Tiger heavy tank, it is even more difficult for them to deal with.
In order to increase the attack on the Eagle Army on the Nova Scotia Peninsula, Marshal Guderian deliberately put six independent heavy tank battalions into the battle. These six independent heavy tank battalions have a total of 360 King Tiger tanks. When these King Tiger tanks ran rampant on the battlefield, the army of the Eagle Country felt what it meant to be in deep despair.
Their defense line could not withstand the impact of the Third Reich's armored forces and was easily breached. As a result, the space for the Yingjiang National Army to turn around is getting smaller and smaller.
In the end, nature cannot escape the fate of being annihilated.
The 17th Army of the Eagle Army was the first to be completely wiped out in Enfield. From the army commander down, 120,000 people surrendered to the Third Reich.
Immediately afterwards, the 18th Army also surrendered to the Third Reich's Northern Army Group in Westerville, and 130,000 people entered the Third Reich's prisoner-of-war camp.
The 13th Army held on for a relatively longer time. It was not until the evening of the 28th that they were completely wiped out. The number of troops who surrendered was only about 80,000. This is already very valuable for the Yingjiang National Army, which is mainly composed of new recruits and whose fighting will is not too strong.
But the destruction of these three armies not only made the Nova Scotia Peninsula completely fall into the hands of the Third Reich. At the same time, the Third Reich's Northern Army Group was able to mobilize more main forces for attack.
Marshal Guderian immediately ordered the 5th Army and the 2nd Armored Army to move to the Monguton area to cooperate with the 8th Army and the 11th Army to attack the Eagle Army in the second encirclement in eastern New Brunswick. And the sun never sets on the Imperial Army. The 14th Army and the 17th Army took the sea route to St. John's Landing on the Bay of Fundy to strengthen the defenses to the west of Lake Forshey and cooperate with the 20th Army and the 23rd Army to resist the attack of reinforcements from the Eagle Army.. As for the Nova Scotia Peninsula, it was left to the 5th and 6th Marine Divisions to defend it.
For Army Group North of the Third Reich, the biggest crisis had been resolved. Next, you just need to strengthen your attack and eat the enemy troops in the second encirclement. Then, they can win this battle.
But this is not good news for the northern war zone of Yingjiang Country.
The 17th Group Army, the 18th Group Army, and the 13th Group Army of the Eagle Army all sent telegrams to the theater headquarters before surrendering.
This made General Douglas MacArthur furious when he received the telegram.
"These damn guys, these cowards. Can't they just hold on for a while longer? Our reinforcements are coming soon, we are about to launch a fierce attack on the Germans, and we are about to defeat them! They surrendered to the Germans at this time. Didn't this deceive us?"General Douglas MacArthur was very angry.
He knew very well that after the Third Reich's Northern Army Group won the victory on the Nova Scotia Peninsula, it would be able to free up its hands and deploy a large number of troops to resist the offensive in the northern theater.
The absolute advantage in military strength that the northern theater has finally achieved will be greatly reduced as a result.
"Your Excellency, Commander, they couldn't hold on any longer and had no choice but to surrender. Those guys in the Eastern Theater are not very good either. If they hadn't deliberately delayed, perhaps the reinforcements would have already arrived at the front line. Lt. Gen. Jacob Devers also complained.
"Alas, these guys are simply harming the country!"General Douglas MacArthur was very helpless.
