Volume 1 On the Songhua River Chapter 2897 Rommel¡¯s Methods

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    That night, all commanders of the German troops on the front lines in Phoenix and Santa Fe received an order personally issued by Commander Marshal Rommel, "After receiving this order, your troops can follow and pursue the U.S. troops that are advancing westward."  Or use a flanking approach but not inflict serious damage, forcing them to speed up their westward march, but you need to remember that the troops will not pursue them until they reach the east bank of the Colorado River!"

    An order that made the commanders of various German troops unable to guess and denounced it. It stands to reason that the American troops now surrounded are just the food in the bowl. They swallowed it in just a few mouthfuls. From commanders to ordinary officers of the German troops,  The soldiers are all working hard and want to use the heads of Americans to award meritorious service!

    But just as he was chewing, such an inexplicable and unreasonable order happened to come. However, Marshal Rommel's reputation and authority were such that no German commander dared to question his order. He could only hold his nose.  Reluctantly chasing the American soldiers across the Colorado River.

    Two pieces of intelligence from the North American battlefield were placed in front of Tang Qiuli. One was about Canada sending troops to the United States, and the other was about the American troops who were being made dumplings by the Germans on the battlefield on the southwestern border of the United States.  The troops were divided into two groups, one heading east and one heading west.

    The Canadians sent troops to help the Americans. This was expected by Tang Qiuli. That Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie was not stupid. The history in his own memory could probably be said to be these few words about the Canadian Prime Minister during World War II.  As the saying goes, "Looks dull, but is actually shrewd. Looks clumsy, but is actually very independent!"

    But Tang Qiuli was very surprised that the Canadians sent more than 600,000 troops.  It seems that in Canada at this time, the total population of the country was only more than 13 million people. This was already a national army, and all the family resources were exhausted.

    Tang Qiuli admires MacKenzie¡¯s determination. The Canadian Prime Minister knows very well that once the United States is subjugated, the Germans and Japanese will be killed.  They are an underfed tiger and a vicious wolf, and Hitler and Emperor Hirohito are a pair of madmen who are almost the same.  How can we remain indifferent to Canada, which is close at hand, has a vast territory, is rich in products, and is inferior to the United States in strength?

    After the fall of the United States, the Germans and Japanese took the next step.  Definitely going to Canada.  Even if we don't act right away, it won't take a few years. Instead of Canada worrying all day long, it would be better to lend a hand to help while the Americans are still calm.

    The principle of "a broken lip and a cold tooth, a broken house is in danger" is not only understood by the Chinese, but also by Mackenzie.  But Tang Qiuli also saw Mackenzie's cunning and shrewdness.  After dispatching troops, all the troops were used on the battlefield of the Dellera Mountains in the western United States, rather than on the battlefield on the southwestern border of the United States. In this way, they could advance and retreat freely. Once the Americans could no longer hold on, they would immediately withdraw their troops into the country.

    While Tang Qiuli was thinking about the Canadians, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe was repeatedly looking at another piece of information, shaking his head, and then looked at him and said: "Division Commander, the US military troops on the southern border battlefield of the United States are divided into  The two routes, the one heading east to break out of the encirclement, are easy to understand, but the one heading towards the west coast is obviously going to die? "

    "According to my judgment, this part of the U.S. military is probably the abandoned son of the highest decision-making level in the United States. They are ready to give up and join forces in the Japanese-occupied areas on the west coast to reduce the pressure on the U.S. military's defense line in the Dilera Mountains. However, it also kills itself.  The escape route is similar to that of the Suicide Squad!"

    "However, there is a practical problem. The German army has formed an encirclement situation on this part of the US military. If hundreds of thousands of US troops want to move westward, I am afraid that they will not be able to get past the Germans, and the Americans will waste their efforts!  "

    "This is war! Anything can happen!" Tang Qiuli looked out the window at the still lush trees in Indochina in February and said: "If Rommel sees the purpose of the Americans, he will make the most appropriate choice.  Therefore, the US military that breaks out toward the west coast can reach its destination smoothly! "

    "You are saying that the Germans will deliberately let these hundreds of thousands of American soldiers cause trouble on the west coast, thereby holding back the Japanese!" Zhao Yuhe said thoughtfully.

    "It's not surprising!" Tang Qiuli smiled calmly and said: "War is a dispute of interests. Rommel is an excellent military commander, but his political mind is not simple. If the Germans want to get ahead of the Japanese and occupy the United States,  In the central region, he will definitely let the intelligence department pay attention to the information in this area. It is very likely that the hostility between the Japanese and the Germans will intensify because of this!"

    "This Rommel is quite shady!" Zhao Yuhe shook his head with a smile and said, "This trick of diverting misfortune to the east is a true legacy of us Chinese!"

    "None of the generals who can shine on various battlefields are simple-minded!" Tang Qiuli said thoughtfully, "Rommel is like this, the same is true for Yamamoto Isoroku!  "

    "Division Commander, the current training of the troops is nearing completion. More than ten months of preparation time should be enough!" Zhao Yuhe said tentatively, "The Japanese army has been trapped in the western battlefield of the United States. Will the plan to send troops to the Southwest Pacific begin?  Implementation?¡±

    "The time has not come yet!" Tang Qiuli said simply, "The Japanese army is not trapped deep enough. The conflict between the Germans and the Japanese has not yet intensified. We have enough time and patience to wait!"

    Tang Qiuli seemed to remember another thing and asked: "Yuhe, the main force of the fleet and transport ships were ordered to be transferred south. What is the current progress? Such a big movement did not alert the Japanese, right?"

    All these situations were in Zhao Yuhe's mind, and he opened his mouth and said, "Commander, the fleet's main force and transport ships are transferred south in batches, and the process is extremely secretive. So far, more than two-thirds of the fleet's main battleships have been transferred to the south in batches.  About ninety percent of the transport ships have arrived at the designated location and are hiding. According to the report of Director Shen Jun of the Investigation Department, the Investigation Department has not found any Japanese spies active! "

    "That's good!" Tang Qiuli nodded approvingly and said, "Yuhe, I'm going to take an afternoon off, and you will be the instructor. If anything happens, please contact me!"

    "Teacher, what are you doing?" Zhao Yuhe was slightly surprised as to why the teacher asked for leave.

    "Hey, why don't you agree to Mei Ting and the three of them to go fishing this afternoon?" Tang Qiuli said helplessly, "In the future, we may not have this time!"

    "Teacher, please accompany the three ladies and take a relaxing break!" Zhao Yu said happily, "Teacher, I'm with you, so don't worry!"

    In the western region of the United States, on the west side of the US military's Dellera Mountain defense line, at the frontline headquarters of Japan's North American Combat Command, Commander General Yamamoto and Chief of Staff General Minamino are studying, because after more than 600,000 Canadian soldiers joined the battlefield,  What difficulties will the troops attack and what measures will be taken to deal with them?

    The two people came to the conclusion that because of the addition of Canadian troops, the originally shaky US defense line had become stronger. It was unlikely that the US military would be able to break through the Dillera Mountain defense line in a short period of time. The Imperial Army would have to fight for a long time.  This conclusion made General Yamamoto feel very frustrated.

    Ever since he saw the Germans' intentions and ambitions, General Yamamoto sought to capture Salt Lake City as quickly as possible, marched into Denver and Cheyenne, and occupied the above two places. The central region of the United States was within the control of the Japanese Empire.  In the middle, the Germans can only look back and sigh. If this is not the case, they can continue to approach the eastern United States and bite off another piece of meat!

    General Yamamoto knew very well that after destroying the United States, the Empire of Japan would not be able to exclusively enjoy the results of the war against the United States. What he needed to do was to obtain the greatest benefits for the empire. But now, because the Canadians are sending troops, it has obviously become difficult.  Heavy.

    Not only General Yamamoto knew it, but General Minamino also knew it well. After analyzing the battlefield situation, both of them were not in a good mood. They were silent to each other. At the same time, they racked their brains to think of ways to break the situation.

    "Commander, Chief of Staff!" Major General Kazuo Kobayashi, director of the headquarters' operations division, hurried in, "received an urgent telegram from Major General Aida, commander of the Los Angeles Military District.  US troops were discovered in the Lopu area. Currently, the number of troops on the other side is unknown, but according to the reports of the troops fighting with the US troops, it should be at least division level, and it is not even one! "

    "What?" Yamamoto jumped up in surprise and asked hurriedly: "Is the situation accurate?"

    "Accurate!" Major General Xiaolin replied, "I have verified it!"

    General Yamamoto's face suddenly turned ugly. On the front line in Los Angeles, the troops he left behind were limited. More than 80,000 people had to guard the vast area of ??the western United States. On average, the strength of each town was roughly one squadron to one brigade. Even if  In big cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, the military strength is just a regiment.

    The sudden appearance of a division-sized US military force, and it's not even one. Wouldn't it mean that they would mess up their rear areas, recapture several port cities, and then wreak havoc on the dock facilities and the front lines?  The ammunition and supplies of the more than one million imperial soldiers fighting will be cut off for a period of time. If the Americans and Canadians seize this opportunity and launch a counterattack across the board, it is possible that they will be pushed back to the landing site. Then  The consequences will be disastrous!

    "Where did these Americans come from?" General Yamamoto glared at Major General Kobayashi and shouted.

    Facing the commander¡¯s fierce eyes, Major General Xiao Lin trembled and replied fearfully: ¡°It¡¯s not clear yet, Your Majesty.??Several local garrison forces that exchanged fire with the US military suffered heavy casualties. No more detailed and accurate information was provided!  "

    "Baga!" General Yamamoto cursed fiercely, "If you don't go check it out right away, I want to get the real information within two hours!"
