"God, the Germans are coming, really coming! This is not a lie about the military situation, it is really coming! ”

"Boom!"

It was not the British and American officers and soldiers in Iceland who made such exclamations, but the Brazilian and American armies, who did not have any psychological expectations at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the decision of the Brazilian side to put down the rebellion, the Brazilian and American troops, including the First Expeditionary Division, pressed forward in the past few days, and the vanguard of the fastest expeditionary division crossed the hilly terrain that was initially thought to be relatively troublesome.

The U.S. Army Air Force also frequently launched surprise attacks on the American republics from Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, and the Luftwaffe could only parry and could not fight back. Of course, the German pilots were much more skilled than the American and Pakistani pilots, and they repeatedly shot down enemy planes, but their numbers were too small, and even if they often fought 1:5 or 1:4, they could not change the general trend.

In the past few days, the US and Pakistani air forces have not only engaged in large-scale exchanges with the Luftwaffe, but have also bombed suspected German ambush sites on many occasions, and indeed hit many places. Before dawn on 29 May, they were suddenly attacked by the German naval airlines, and more than 200 planes were blown up and paralyzed on the airfield before they could take off.

In the early morning, the Richelieu and the Scharnhorst appeared in the sights of the defenders, and then more and more warships, including destroyers, launched heavy artillery fire on the harbor and beachhead, a battalion of armored grenadiers carried by the integrated aircraft carrier King began to rush to the beach, and more than 20 Sibel tank landing craft pounced on the beachhead to release the tank forces - although there was no Leopard, the power of the four was enough for the enemy to drink a pot.

At noon, the Germans quickly defeated the panicked Brazilian defenders, not only successfully transporting 1 armored battalion and 2 panzergrenadier battalions ashore, but also taking control of ports, docks, airfields and many other key locations. Then a steady stream of landing forces swooped down in depth, and by the afternoon a complete Marine Brigade had landed successfully, and the other was also hurrying to land, not only to control the entire city, but also to copy the rear route of the Brazilian counterinsurgency.

The Brazilian army still wanted to fight to the death, but when a large number of armored troops launched a ground suppression attack in depth, their morale finally could not be maintained and they were ready to retreat, and after learning the news that the landing had been successful, Schauken immediately asked the defending Flying Fortress Division to turn from defense to attack as quickly as possible, and prepared to step forward to hold the 1st Brazilian Expeditionary Division.

Originally, according to his idea, he wanted to bring in all four Brazilian divisions to destroy them, and according to this planned pace, the landing would be delayed for a few days, but the Führer himself sent an urgent telegram, saying that the Icelandic front was tight and hoped that he could support him. Sauken did not dare to slack off, and immediately temporarily adjusted the plan, changing the plan of eliminating four divisions of the Pakistan-American coalition army to the elimination of the 1st Brazilian Expeditionary Division, and the goal was reduced by three-quarters at once. Of course, the adjustment of objectives is not without benefits, at least it is more convenient to fight now - 1 German armored division and 2 marine brigades against a Brazilian division is completely inhumane.

The situation on the battlefield has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the morale of the US-Pakistani coalition army, which was preparing to flatten the American Republic in one fell swoop, learned that it was under siege, and a bunch of people tried to seize the road and flee, especially the other three divisions that Montero had explained before they set off, and it was clear that the position was still more than 100 kilometers away from the landing of the German army, but after hearing about the situation, they fled regardless of the 3721 legs, and they were invincible. The 2 Marine Brigades thought they were going to have a hard fight, but they didn't know that they would start an armed march after defeating the defenders at the beginning.

The streets and alleys were crowded with Brazilian residents of German, Italian and Italian origin, and even descendants of Hungarian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Irish and other countries, and even French, Portuguese and Japanese descendants came out to welcome them.

They all know very well the routine of the American republics, when the Germans control the situation, those Anglo-American industries and indigenous capitalist industries will be confiscated by the government at that time, and then a little profit will be shared with them, and the debts can also be written off, many civilians have been looking forward to the earth-shaking changes for a long time, and even the indigenous people know that the Germans are quite reliable, and the administrative ability of the Brazilian government is much stronger than that of the Brazilian government, for example, the order of the "rebel state" is very stable, and it is difficult for those ruffians, gangsters and mafia to mix.

Only the main force of the poor Brazilian Expeditionary Division was trapped in the hilly terrain, unable to advance or retreat, and could only watch as the two German armies rushed over and surrounded them. And that's not all, the Luftwaffe, which had been shrinking for the previous two days, suddenly appeared, and nearly 200 planes roared and launched a fierce attack - the Brazilians finally knew that they had been fooled, and the Germans were not without strength, but had been holding back and waiting for themselves to take the bait.

On the one hand, the commander of the expeditionary division, Major General Moraes, ordered the troops to shrink their defenses in the mountains, desperately calling for the other three divisions to move closer to him, and on the other hand, sent them to Rio de Janeiro, begging for reinforcements in the rear. Calling the 3 divisions closer was obviously a failure, and the others avoided it, so how could they dare to run into the encirclement again, but the telegram sent to the General Staff was not necessarily effective, not to mention that Montero didn't want to save him, even if he wanted to, he couldn't show his strength.

"Sir, the situation is exactly as you expected, the Germans are starting to fight back......" Montero's henchman shook the telegram and sighed, "The situation is not ideal, Florianópolis, the capital of Santa Catarina, has fallen, the German ambush in the direction of the rebel state is prominent, the front and rear sieges are the army, the air force has suffered heavy losses, the captain of the 1st Combat Group, Major Nairo Mora, has been killed, we have lost nearly 300 planes in total, after the fall of the airport, we have no usable aircraft, the remaining airfield defense troops, The pilots and ground crews retreated in a hurry, and many were captured by the Germans. To make matters worse, local Germans also began to riot, and some lawmakers even sent a telegram asking to join the rebel states. ”

"I can't control the Air Force, what about the Army?"

"The expeditionary division, which was flanked in front and behind, was now defended in place in the mountains, and it is said that German planes chased them and bombed, Brigadier General Farias (artillery commander) was killed, and Brigadier General Gosta (infantry commander) was seriously wounded; The loss of personnel may have exceeded 1,500 people; The other 3 divisions saw that the momentum was not good, and they ran fast, losing only some heavy equipment, and the other personnel suffered little losses...... Now the key problem is that the expeditionary division cannot be withdrawn! ”

Montero looked at the map and shook his head: "It's impossible for the main force to be withdrawn!" There is still some hope that the rearguard will escape quickly, and in another 2-3 days, the Germans will completely trap them to death, and we will not even be able to take out the troops to relieve the siege, and even if there is, who will dare to take the infantry to fight the German armored divisions? That's not bravery, that's looking for death! ”

A bunch of people were silent, and it would not be a problem for the expeditionary division to last 3-5 days with its own supplies, but what to do after 3-5 days? Running out of ammunition and food and annihilating the whole army? But no one dares to put in more power for the sake of rescue - if you don't want to, you can't!

"What now?"

"Tell Moraes to defend on the spot, stubbornly resist, and we will find a way to send troops." Montero said slowly, "There is still a chance to resist in the end, if you give up, the whole army will be wiped out in less than 3 days." ”

"This ......"

"In addition, President Vargas can only be told that the whole country must enter a state of emergency, achieve military control and general mobilization, and let the Americans send 200,000 troops to fight."

The henchman of the "military ......" muttered the word: it was obvious what the commander was going to do, and everyone began to get excited.

"Someone asked carefully, if ......"

Before he could say a start, he was interrupted by Montero, who said coldly: "There is no if, the Americans must come, if they don't come, we will go!" I can't watch the country of Brazil ruin! ”

Of course, we are not saying that Montero wants to divide himself, but that he wants to take Brazil away -- to change sides, or at least to withdraw from the alliance.

"What? The Germans landed in another Brazilian state? ”

"Yes...... The situation was terrible, and the expeditionary divisions we assisted in training were in trouble and were caught in the front and back. Eisenhower took Clark's urgent telegram and reported, "The Brazilians have asked us to send 200,000 troops to help." ”

"Didn't the Brazilians send out a total of 4 divisions? What about the other 3 divisions? ”

"Before the enemy is engaged, flee from the wind."

"What do I want them to do with such troops?" Marshall was furious, "They must come back to the rescue." ”

"It's useless, General Clark has communicated urgently with President Vargas and General Montero, and the two are completely panicked and lose confidence, and Vargas is even wondering whether to move the capital - Rio is also a port city......"

Marshall was stunned: "How many troops did the Germans send?" ”

"It's not very clear at the moment, but it's estimated to be between 20,000 and 30,000, plus their strength in the rebel states, it's estimated to be about 50,000." Eisenhower mused, "Dispatching 200,000 is obviously an exaggeration, and the total number of troops in South America is only a little over 200,000, how can it be all in Brazil?" But we have to be wary of a domino effect – Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia are eyeing Brazil. In addition, after the Germans took control of the two states, if they took Platana, they would really threaten the two large cities of great importance, São Paulo and Rio, which would be fatal. ”

Marshall was silent: Brazil's loss is not a big problem militarily, but it is too serious politically, meaning that South America will be completely out of the orbit of the United States.

"And judging by the current progress of the war, I don't think the Brazilians have the ability to save themselves. We had an assessment that the Germans only needed to put 3-4 main divisions in Brazil to have a chance to sweep the whole country, and now the strength of 2 divisions has arrived, and Brazil's military strength is a little weaker than we thought, if we don't intervene, these 50,000 German troops can wipe out the active forces in Brazil. Eisenhower's advice was clear: "Either consider abandoning Brazil, or immediately send a large army to press over the Germans while they are still short of troops." ”

This news immediately exploded in the Joint Chiefs of Staff......
