Chapter 1311 Ardennes Counterattack (3)(1/2)

On the evening of May 20, the China-Xiamen delegation stayed at the hotel in London.

A map of Europe was hung in Jiangdong's room. Tang Yun, Ding Beifeng and Lu Zhuoran all gathered around the map.

The German troops on the Western Front made a desperate counterattack, causing the originally clear battlefield situation to instantly become murky.

Lu Zhuoran looked at the map and said:

The first chapter of this novel--the site&~ is @: Tower Reading Novel App

"It is now basically certain that the German troops are divided into three lines. The first line goes out from the Ardennes Forest to the south, and its peak is pointed directly at the First Army on the east bank of the Meuse River. The second and third lines are in a pincer-shaped offensive, heading towards

Advance towards Brussels.

The strategic direction is very similar to the Yellow Plan of 1940, when the German armored forces swept across Western Europe and were invincible.

Now they have chosen to take the same path, making the Allied generals both familiar and nervous.

The goal of the German army is very clear, that is, to attack the First Army and try to encircle the Second Army and the Third Army in the Brussels area.

In this way, they will take the initiative on the Western Front battlefield and have the confidence to negotiate an armistice."

After listening to Lu Zhuoran's narration, everyone looked a little solemn.

After all, the meeting of giants has just been held, the distribution of interests has been completed, and the blueprint for the post-war world has been constructed.

And if we lose the initiative on the battlefield at this time and are forced to the negotiating table by the Germans, then the authority of the Big Four will definitely be greatly weakened, and many things that have been negotiated will undergo uncertain changes.

Ding Beifeng adjusted his eye mask slightly and asked:

"How did MacArthur deal with it, without it being a mess and a mess?"

The information Lu Zhuoran had was not shared by the joint operations staff, and he said immediately:

"The elite 101st Airborne Division and the 82nd Division have already gone to reinforce the First Army, and the First Army commanded by General Patton also immediately turned east.

Since the weather conditions were not conducive to large-scale takeoffs and landings by the Air Force, the High Command of the Allied Expeditionary Forces collected a large number of vehicles in order to send reinforcements to the front line in the shortest possible time.

All the cars originally used to transfer supplies from the dock warehouse have been requisitioned, at least 20,000 of them."

Ding Beifeng nodded and said:

"So MacArthur's response was very quick and should be able to stabilize the situation."

The Ardennes Counterattack in the last time and space occurred in winter. Since the world has undergone earth-shaking changes and many things have deviated from the original historical trajectory, Jiangdong was also caught off guard when the Ardennes Counterattack took place.

Unexpectedly, history was full of holes, but Hitler still did not change his original intention and actually launched the Ardennes Counterattack in the summer.

Different from the panic and hesitation of most people, Jiangdong was sure that the Third Reich was in decline. Although this last tremor was very frightening, it could not change the overall situation.

After this counterattack, the elite Wehrmacht forces will be wiped out, and the door of the Third Reich will be completely open to the Allies.

Such a large-scale counterattack will definitely consume Germany's strategic reserves to a great extent. The fuel, weapons and equipment in the warehouse will be exhausted, and even the soldiers will be exhausted.

This was Hitler's last struggle. As long as he withstood this wave of counterattacks, victory was really just around the corner.

Although he was not a time traveler, Jiangdong thought that Eisenhower should have understood that this was the last large-scale counterattack that the German army could launch.

As long as the initial chaos can be ended and the war proceeds at the pace the Allies are accustomed to, then everything will be settled.

While Jiang Dong was thinking about these issues, Lu Zhuoran said again:

"It has just been confirmed by the Joint Operations Staff that two regiments of the US 106th Infantry Division have indeed surrendered.

In addition, the 28th Infantry Division was also surrounded by German armored units and was trapped on the edge of the forest, unable to move. The High Command was trying to find ways to rescue the surrounded troops.

In this combat operation of less than 20 hours, the German army advanced nearly 10 kilometers to the south. Due to the large number of Allied troops in the west, it barely withstood the first wave of attacks.

Next, both sides will invest more and more troops, and the scale of the battle will become larger and larger."

After he finished speaking, he looked towards Jiangdong, hoping to get instructions.

Jiang Dong glanced at the map and said slightly nonchalantly:

"The Germans are like grasshoppers after the autumn, and they can't survive for a few days. Just like Japan in the past, although the madness at this time is a little hard to resist, they will eventually pass.

The surrender of these two regiments was just a matter of face to Eisenhower. Even if the Germans could drive the entire First Army across the Moze River, Eisenhower could fight back after regrouping.

The Germans have no next chance.

Leave matters on the battlefield to Xiong Yuanchun and Meng Jie of the Joint Operations Staff. Your focus is still on the plenary meeting of the Allied Powers.

I will attend another meeting tomorrow and then return to Peking, leaving this place to you."

Ding Beifeng and Lu Zhuoran nodded solemnly.

Ding Beifeng is currently the chairman of the German Control Committee, and he has a heavy responsibility. It is impossible for him to return to China without thoroughly sorting out the affairs in Europe.

Lu Zhuoran will participate in the subsequent founding conference of the United Nations.

Jiangdong is the leader of the country, so it is naturally impossible for him to live abroad for a long time.

This is the most critical stage for Zhongxia to enter the center of the world stage, and no carelessness is allowed.

...

Mustache just lay in bed for three hours, and then got up excitedly.

He wanted to know every detail of the Ardennes Counterattack and the location of every unit.

When he heard that two regiments of American troops had surrendered, Mustache's face turned red.

He clenched his fists and said as if to himself:

"I made the right choice to attack from the Ardennes Forest. The Allies are still where they were four years ago and would never have thought that we would use the same tactics twice in the same place."

Himmler, Keitel, Goebbels and others were also greatly encouraged. No matter what happened next, at least they had a good start.

Mustache muttered to himself for a moment, then looked at Goering and said:

"The battlefield will not always be cloudy and rainy. We must prepare for the powerful Allied air force in advance. You must concentrate all combat aircraft and do your best to provide cover for the ground troops.

Don't be afraid of losses. As long as a victorious army can be won in this battle, the factory can continue to produce and manufacture them. By then, there will be as many jet fighters as you need.

Do you understand?"

Göring nodded seriously and said that he would definitely send all his air power to prevent the Allies from gaining air supremacy on the battlefield.

The excitement on Mustache's face did not fade. He kept circling the map, trying to perfect his battle plan as much as possible and welcome a greater victory.

The infantry unit serves as the vanguard, and the intact armored unit serves as the assault force at critical moments.

Judging from the actions on the first day, this arrangement was very effective.

Next there are airborne troops and special forces.

After circling the map a few times, Mustache decided not to send out airborne troops for the time being. He said to Keitel:

"Tonight, we will order our special forces to parachute behind enemy lines and cause chaos in the Allied defense lines and rear areas."

This is also an important part of the Ardennes Counterattack. Mustache has high hopes for his special forces.

The plan had been made, and Keitel immediately stopped talking and nodded to accept the order.

Residents of Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and other big cities in the Third Reich were busy building underground fortifications to prevent atomic bombs. People lived in fear for fear that an atomic bomb would one day fall on their heads.

Goebbels gave agitprop speeches in major cities. Although fewer people came than before, a large number of Germans still supported the Nazi Party and the Führer.

Especially young people aged 10 to 18, who enthusiastically joined the People's Guards despite the opposition of their families.

The factory produces a large number of Panzerfaust rocket launchers, anti-tank grenades, etc., which are used to equip the People's Guards in preparation for future urban street fighting.

The Gestapo acted more and more unchecked in various parts of the country. They arrested and killed military and civilian anti-war people, some were executed in secret, and some were hanged in public.

People are in panic and the wind is roaring.

Under the Gestapo's tough tactics, German society was basically stable, and people kept their heads down at work and home every day.

I dare not talk about military affairs and politics easily outside, and my grievances are hidden in my heart.

Clausewitz's plan was kept secret from the public, so the German people did not yet know that their Führer was going to embark on a completely insane scorched-earth policy.

Schools, hospitals, government departments, etc. organize nuclear explosion prevention drills from time to time.

As long as the atomic bomb troops cause huge damage to the people, Hitler will have nothing to fear and will resist to the end.

The country's situation is such that it is impossible to negotiate surrender in advance.
