The first thousand one hundred and thirty-six chapters of the US military round
The clouds of war enveloped the entire Europe. The Allies and Allied Powers fought fiercely in Europe, affecting the entire Europe, except for some small countries without threats such as Switzerland and the Netherlands, the remaining major European forces were invested in this war, and the number of troops mobilized exceeded 10 million.
Now, the war has begun to spread, and the United States, far away from the ocean, has also joined the war situation. A country with the largest industrial output value in the world with a population of over 100 million, has joined the occupation. The entire war has shown signs of continuous expansion. Including the Asian Lan Fang and China, Europe and Asia, and North America, almost the most important part of the world, have been involved in the war.
At the beginning, the United States did not enter a state of war, so after the swaggering troops were learned by the German and Chinese submarines, they began to concentrate their forces. The huge fleet guarded more than 800,000 troops to Britain from the Atlantic Ocean. Even Britain learned lessons and did not let the United States escort. After the local fleet and fast fleet, they drew 10 main battleships and nearly 100 large and small ships to welcome the US military. The remaining local fleet patrolled the North Sea day and night to prevent the Germans from coming out. Even if the decisive battle was fought, the German warships would not harass the US military.
In the German Navy, Tirpitz frowned. At this time, it was probably Germany's best opportunity. The British main ships had 25, and 18 of them. The difference between the six newly added American warships was that according to the data obtained by Germany, there was a certain gap compared to the King's class. Such ships only added numbers to the battle line. Even other auxiliary ships were not fully equipped, and Germany still had a little advantage in terms of tonnage.
The purpose of building a high seas fleet is to make the German navy rise. Breaking through the British cage and making achievements for Germany, the navy is always an attacking force, and staying is not a good choice. But in the end, Tirpitz still did not take action. On the one hand, he knew that when the US fleet headed to Britain, it had been three days since the US military sent troops, and the Atlantic Ocean was extremely vast. The fast fleet had almost one-third of its time in three days, and at most less than seven days, he mobilized his strength to intercept and even found the location of the US ships. The vast sea was a little different, only dozens or hundreds, and maybe it might not be able to stop it. The most important thing is 18 to 25, with equal strength, but not safe. At least there is no chance of winning at least 50% of the time, which is very dangerous for Germany.
The existence of the High Seas Fleet is to put Britain in a dilemma. If you can't turn your hands, Scher's T-mix fleet will be under much less pressure. Scher's move in Asia is definitely good. At least, there is no power of the Allies in the entire Southeast Asia.
With many concerns, Tirpitz did not let the fleet set out in the end. Although his idea was to protect the fleet, on the other hand, he really did not take the 800,000 American troops into his eyes. Europe fought fiercely. Even now, after capturing Paris, large-scale battles did not go on, and small-scale battles never stopped. One company and one battalion, in the situation, just a number, and then fill in. This is just a small-scale war, a large-scale war, a division, or even an army, and it is also a number. In later history, the fierce Battle of the Marne River, there are hundreds of thousands of losses in a day.
The 800,000-strong army of the United States is absolutely not low, but its combat effectiveness is not underestimated by Tirpitz. Only in the continuous war can the army develop and be strong. After the War of Independence and the Civil War, how many American troops have been separated for a long time? The combat effectiveness of the US military has been very limited, and there are only a lot of people in the empty space.
The blitzkrieg attack on Paris was successful. There was no stalemate between the Allies and the Allies. They fought mobile warfare and annihilation war. The German army was strong, and the absolute attack power was far higher than that of the British and French coalition forces. Therefore, the British and French coalition forces often had to be twice as fast as possible to withstand the German attack. The Americans had been distracted for a long time and did not perform very strongly in the world. That is, they were just more than 300,000. For the current comprehensive mobilization and with the help of the northwest, 2 million people were liberated in the country with the millions of people in the northwest. These people could not all be filled in the army. Now the total number of German troops has exceeded 3.8 million, which is the total number of British and French. There is nothing more than 800,000 US troops.
Germany did not move, and almost watched the huge fleet of US troops enter Britain. A large number of US warships and soldiers came to Britain, almost turning the entire British Isles into a large military camp. For this reason, Britain specially set up a county in the northern city to settle the US military. In this way, it has been bothered for a long time.
Fortunately, the Americans are not the world police of later generations. They came to participate in the European war to improve their status. In addition to the initial panic, the Americans also deliberately restrained the army. They had eggs but were not big. After half a month of chaos, they barely settled and sorted them out.
August is about to pass, September is coming. If it were last year, it would be possible to start the battle, but the Battle of Paris was too fierce and Paris fell too quickly, and even affected the surrounding troops who were supporting the troops. However, because the Battle of Paris was passive, the British saw the opportunity and ran a little faster, but also lost 20%, while the French lost probably 50%.
This is after the serious losses last year, and this year it was lost. Many of them were colonial troops, so they didn’t feel bad about the losses. The only headache for the French was how to indicate and integrate these troops.
In a few months, the war was gone. Germany was digesting the harvest of Paris, Britain and France were licking their wounds, and they had no intention of starting a war. The Americans had just arrived and were not convenient to send to the battlefield. At most, they were adaptive training and had to wait for a while before they could be useful.
The US military settled on the British Isles, but it refers to most of the troops. One of them left the UK on September 3rd. There were at least dozens of merchant ships carrying a division of US troops set out from London, England to Bordeaux. They selected the Sixth Infantry Division among all the US troops, and they were also the most famous and combat-capable force among the US troops. They would participate in the combat rotation within the Bordeaux range.
Since Paris was besieged, Bordeaux has become the temporary capital of France. Not only were high-ranking officials and personnel concentrated in Bordeaux, but the army was also around it. In addition to British reinforcements, there were probably millions of troops.
After the end of the Battle of Paris, the German Army also put the Battle of Bordeaux on the agenda, but the continuous operations from last year to this year made the German army quite tired. While digesting the gains of the war, it also started rotation.
The rotation is of course aimed at Bordeaux. After the Battle of Paris, entering May, it has been a certain intensity of attack for four consecutive months. Every day, one division is united, and the offensive and defensive battles have never stopped. The intensity is not strong, and the entire army does not press forward. It is just that there are damage to each other. Under this premise, the US military arrived at the front line of Bordeaux.
Although the United States in this world is the world's largest industrial power, the Americans' status is not high. The reason is that the core of this world is in Europe. It is because of the two wars in Europe that the United States took advantage of the situation and moved to the United States.
France and Britain were relatively arrogant and had to ask the United States for help. It was just the government's action. The people and military officers below had an average attitude towards the Americans, especially the front-line troops, and there were people who happened to replace them. Of course, they were clean and just a simple handover.
In this way, the most powerful division in the United States entered the battle formation without any preparation. Fortunately, this was a line of defense, with trenches and civil fortifications. Even if the Americans did not pay attention, they entered the position and hid in the trenches.
The handover of the battlefield was during the day, and it was very disturbing and attracted the attention of the German army on the other side. Opposite the American position was the 19th German Infantry Division, which was a meritorious force. It made great contributions in the scorching sun fortress and the French-German border. Even in the Battle of Paris not long ago, it was honored and captured the French Congress Building.
Their frontline commanders were skilled in their business. After just changing defenses, they found that the army opposite was different. They were not as experienced as the French and British before. Although they entered the position, they still made many mistakes. For example, soldiers often saluted their superiors. For example, officers and soldiers dressed completely differently, and when they entered the trench, they did not walk with their backs, but occasionally raised their heads and stretched out of the trench.
This is too strange. Could it be that the elite French soldiers disappeared and sent new recruits to come up? The previous ones were all the experiences of French blood and fire. After repeated sacrifices, they were summarized. It seems that they did not hand over well with these troops. I felt that this was an opportunity, but I did not dare to take action easily, but asked everywhere where these people came from.
The 19th Division itself is stationed in another position. It has just been replaced here. As a meritorious force, it has rich combat experience and strong aggressiveness. If this is an opportunity, it may be able to gain some advantage, or even break through the position and make great contributions.
The division commander thought so and did the same. Not only did he send people to investigate the overall situation of this position, but on the other hand, he also asked people to investigate through various channels. What is the origin of this division's troops? Know yourself and your enemy, win every battle, and figure out everything to go on the battlefield. Otherwise, he would be easily deceived.
