Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After dictating the contents of the telegram to the combat staff, General Satlan felt as bitter as chewing coptis. This was deception. During the war, the Supreme Headquarters and himself jointly deceived hundreds of thousands of young American soldiers. It was sad.  Yes, I don't even have the qualifications to be angry, I don't even have the courage to reveal the facts, and I have to give them a promise that is destined to be unfulfilled.  

    However, he could only do this. He could not reveal to Hells the intention of the wartime high command not to approve the rescue. That would cut off their last glimmer of hope. I am afraid that the Ninth Army would soon lose morale and morale.  Nothing, becoming a group of lambs to be slaughtered, American soldiers, but there is no tradition of fighting to the death when foreign aid is cut off and there is no food and grass at home!

    "Let these poor soldiers fight to the death against the Germans in the belief of waiting for reinforcements! It is also the duty of every beauty, let them fight for the United States of America in hope!"  General Satland comforted himself. As a result, the lives of hundreds of thousands of American soldiers in the Dallas encirclement were determined.

    Lieutenant General Hers, the commander of the Ninth Army who was surrounded in Dallas, did not know the inside story. While organizing his troops, he desperately resisted the German siege on all sides, while constantly sending telegrams asking for help. Fortunately, Marshal Rommel planned to use  This group of American soldiers were used as bait. Of course, if the attack was strong, it would not be fatal. The American army could barely resist it, but the German army, which had superior strength and equipment, oppressed the encirclement and narrowed it day by day.

    After a week of fighting, the commander of the U.S. Ninth Army, Lieutenant General Hells, was eagerly looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements. Telegrams were still flying to the Southwest Border Garrison Command like snowflakes, but the answer they received was, "Continue."  Hold on, waiting for orders from the wartime high command!¡±

    At this moment, Lieutenant General Hells also had doubts in his heart, and he said, "Rescuing troops is like putting out fire!" There is no reason that a week has passed, and no order has been issued from the wartime high command. Isn't this normal?

    But Lieutenant General Hells still had a trace of luck in his heart. After all, rescuing hundreds of thousands of his own people amid the heavy siege of the German army was no small matter. It affected the whole body, including the southwest border.  The overall safety of the second line of defense on the battlefield must also be carefully considered by the wartime high command.

    But Marshal Rommel lost his patience and waited for a week. The bait of the Dallas encirclement did not attract the US military rescue force. His judgment was that the US military's high command probably saw through his attempt.  We plan to abandon the hundreds of thousands of American soldiers in the encirclement.

    Since the bait had lost its effect, there was no need to waste any more time. Immediately, Marshal Rommel issued an order for a general attack to the German troops outside the encirclement.

    In the sky, seven or eight fighter jets and bombers dropped heavy aerial bombs and strings of bombs mercilessly on the heads of the American soldiers. On the ground, thousands of large-caliber artillery fire shook the ground.  The mountains were shaking and gunpowder smoke filled the air. More than a thousand heavy tanks lined up in an assault formation. Their tracks stirred up the dust in the southwestern United States. They roared and covered groups of German infantry, and they surged towards the American positions like a tide!

    Dallas and its surrounding areas were shrouded in the smoke of war. Only then did Lieutenant General Hells realize how ridiculous his idea of ??waiting for help was. Only then did he realize that in the previous week's battle, Germany  People simply don¡¯t try their best.

    By the dusk of the second day of the battle, the US military had lost more than 60,000 people. The remaining 70,000 to 80,000 people were compressed into a small area of ??only a few dozen square kilometers with Dallas as the center. So many people were crowded together and so dense.  It was so big that a large-caliber German artillery shell could blow up a group of soldiers, and a heavy aviation bomb could kill more than a dozen soldiers.

    What's worse is that because there is no supply, the troops' ammunition and food are almost exhausted. A large number of wounded people die because of lack of medicine and lack of timely treatment. Faced with such a predicament and no reinforcements are scheduled, Lieutenant General Hells  I know, I can't fight anymore.

    In a dark and humid cave, the headquarters of the Ninth Army is located here. Sitting next to a bonfire of uncertain brightness and darkness, listening to the fierce sound of gunfire coming from all around, Lieutenant General Hulls dictated the telegram, "The southwest border.  The garrison commander, General Satlan, said that our Ninth Army, with more than 100,000 officers and soldiers, fought fiercely for several days with German troops that were several times our size. The troops suffered heavy casualties, the battlefield space was also greatly compressed, and ammunition and supplies were basically exhausted! "

    "The situation on the battlefield is so critical, but we don't know when the rescue force will arrive. Although our unit has fought hard for many times, it has not been able to change the unfavorable situation. Faced with the heavy encirclement of the German army, breaking out is a hopeless move and only sacrifices the lives of soldiers in vain!"

    "Although it is nightfall, the German attack has not stopped and is becoming more and more fierce. Judging from the current situation on the Dallas battlefield, our army has run out of ammunition and food. It will not last longer than 10 days. If reinforcements do not arrive, the Ninth Army will not be able to escape.  The entire army was annihilateddestiny!  "

    Admiral Sartland immediately responded to the telegram, "I have read the call. As a beautiful woman, the only option is to fight to the death. It is impossible for the reinforcements to rescue you from the German siege within days. I have no idea whether to rescue the third party."  Within the Ninth Army, the wartime supreme headquarters, there is a fierce dispute between the two opinions. So far, no decision has been made. It will take a while for your army to persist! "

    After reading the telegram, Lieutenant General Hells's heart was as cold as if he had fallen into a hole in the ice. He completely understood why Oklahoma City was only a few days' journey from Dallas. Why did it take more than ten days?  , the rescue team has not arrived for a long time, but there is no rescue team at all!

    The so-called internal disputes within the Wartime High Command were nothing more than an excuse for that old bastard Satland. The Southwest Border Garrison Command or the Wartime High Command had no intention of rescuing the Ninth Army. He and his subordinates  More than 100,000 soldiers were abandoned by the United States. The funny thing was that he still held on to the illusion of standing still and waiting for help. He felt a sad feeling of being deceived.

    Looking at the reality, Lieutenant General Hulls knew that there was no point in continuing to resist. It would only make more soldiers fall under the guns of the German soldiers. He silently put General Sartland's reply to the  Burn it on the bonfire.

    Then, he said to a colonel's staff: "As my plenipotentiary, go to negotiate with the Germans about the surrender of the Ninth Army. I have only one request, that the officers and soldiers of the surrendered Ninth Army be treated as prisoners of war."  !¡±

    After a moment of silence, Lieutenant General Hells sent a simple telegram to General Satland, telling him that he had decided to order the remaining soldiers of the Ninth Army to surrender to the Germans.

    More than two hours later, the gunfire on the Dallas battlefield subsided. In the gloomy night, groups of American soldiers, escorted by German soldiers, lined up mechanically and silently in long lines, under the lights of German tanks.  Under guidance, gather at the designated location.

    In the Battle of Dallas, the U.S. Ninth Army had a total of about 150,000 troops. It lost more than 70,000 people on the battlefield and the remaining troops were more than 80,000. The Germans surrendered. Marshal Rommel and his slight cost achieved the total annihilation of the Allied Forces for 15 years.  The achievements of thousands of people.

    However, Marshal Rommel was not very excited about such a record. He did not regard the U.S. Ninth Army, which had been beaten by him and fled on the battlefield on the southwestern border of the United States, as a real opponent.  , at best, it is just a bait, otherwise, the Battle of Dallas would have ended a week ago!

    Fort Worth, where the frontline headquarters of the German Army Group South America is located, in Marshal Rommel's temporary office, there are several exquisite side dishes and a bottle of fine wine on a round table. Judging from the atmosphere, it looks like  A family dinner.

    Marshal Rommel's military uniform is straight, and he holds a golden marshal's scepter in his hand. He is waiting for someone, Lieutenant General Hulls, commander of the U.S. Ninth Army, his opponent on the battlefield in Dallas, no, not his opponent,  They are just prisoners.

    In Marshal Rommel's view, since this American wisely chose to surrender, he should be treated as a prisoner of war. This is the style and tradition of the German emperors. Marshal appreciates smart people, because this is the first battle on the American battlefield.  Only an American lieutenant general who surrenders will enjoy this treatment. From then on, as the battlefield expands, more and more American generals will surrender. But I don¡¯t have that much time to meet them all in person!

    Lieutenant General Hulse walked into Marshal Rommel's office accompanied by two German military school-level officers instead of being escorted. The Germans kept their promise and did not give the surrendered American general any personal insult, at least.  Now it seems that Lieutenant General Hulls looks less like a prisoner of war and more like a guest at a banquet.

    Similarly, Marshal Rommel on the winning side did not have the arrogance of a victor. He greeted Lieutenant General Custer like an old friend, elegantly asked the prisoner of war to sit down, poured him a glass of amber wine himself, and then  , fill up his own glass, signal, and drink it all in one gulp.

    At this point, Lieutenant General Hells let go of his sexuality. Beauty has her own pride. Even though she became a prisoner of war, she could not throw away the wind. He also unceremoniously drank a glass of wine slowly, and then drank it.  , ate so much that during the more than ten days of being surrounded, I ate all the marching rations, and then I barely filled my stomach. In the last few days, I couldn't eat even one meal a day. I was really starving!

    Marshal Rommel looked elegant and looked at the Americans who were eating so much. There was no contempt or ridicule in his eyes. He even ordered the guards to add a few more dishes to satisfy the appetite of the American lieutenant general who had been hungry for several days.

    After a few glasses of wine, Lieutenant General Hells's expression returned to normal. He picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. He looked at Marshal Rommel and said, "Mr. Marshal, I admire your military commanding ability. What I want to know is  Yes, ?If our reinforcements arrive in time on the Dallas battlefield, will you still be able to annihilate the Ninth Army?  "
