"Tanks! Offensive! ”

At 9 o'clock in the morning, in the roar of the engine, the German tank cluster began to sort, Guderian launched an attack in the posture of a tiger descending from the mountain, and in the first round, more than 1,000 tanks of 3 armored divisions and 5 heavy armored battalions were put into action, and launched a full-line attack on the Bradley Line.

Behind the Tiger 2 and Leopard tanks, there are a variety of other big guys, including Himmler organ, assault tiger, grizzly bear, etc...... The Assault Tiger was originally designed for street fighting, but by the end of the war on the Eastern Front, neither Rostock nor Stalingrad had been used, and the quick-witted Paulus used the Assault Tiger as a pioneer for the combat engineering group.

With the advance of the German Thor's Hammer Panzer Division, the Allied front line, which had been repeatedly ravaged, could not resist at all, and some of them surrendered to the Germans in despair, while others desperately retreated to the depths, trying to retreat to the second and third lines of defense according to the pre-war deployment.

According to the original plan, as long as the Thomas Bridge was escaped, the officers and soldiers defending the bridge would blow it up and block the subsequent German advance. But they had no idea that this bridge, which was the only way to retreat, was fighting to the death.

At the height of the front, the Germans launched their first large-scale air-cavalry assault, with the primary goal of capturing the Thomas Bridge intact. According to the previous attack practice, the capture of the bridge basically had to send paratroopers to attack in advance, which was not only easy to startle, but also besieged from front to back.

But here, when the army pressed and attacked fiercely from front to back, the officers and men guarding the bridge could get less support.

At 8:49, the first air cavalry battalion with a large group of helicopters fell from the sky, the FI-482 attack helicopter desperately poured fire on the ground, and then covered the FA-423 transport helicopter to break in, the air cavalry fell majestically from the sky, the battalion commander Hasler was wearing a tight special suit, and a pair of sunglasses coolly, the first one descended along the rope, grabbed his body with one hand, and held the FG44 paratrooper assault rifle in his hand with the other, spraying blazing flames to the ground to suppress the American army.

Such a stylish look is said to have given Dr. Goebbels a lot of inspiration, and during the filming of the "Air Cavalry" movie, it was such a momentum that landed directly over the enemy fortress......

"Fight back, must fight back!" Bradley walked around the headquarters uneasily, from the early morning until now, except for the first hour of communication was normal, he had not received much information from the front, but he had an instinctive reaction of "something is wrong".

He estimated that the airfields deployed on the first line were already outnumbered, so he ordered the ground air of the second and even third lines to attack—they were the fastest and most powerful means.

Although the plane took off, the pilots of the P-51\P-47 fighters of the US military looked at the nimble and small TA-183 and sighed with admiration; they had more or less come into contact with or understood the ME-262, and even thought that the ME-262 had a miraculous effect against dense formation bomber groups, but it was not enough to see the maneuverable and flexible fighters.

The sight turned their perception upside down, with only one engine, the short and stout crow was very nimble, and even dared to take the initiative to challenge the American fighters, although the German TA-152 and DO-412 in the air were enough to suppress the opponent.

Horizontal grappling like the BF-319 can't be played, and the crow is still the old style of play of the F-190 and TA-152 - BZ tactics. Now the American pilots find it much more difficult to get rid of this tactic, originally relying on maneuver and dive advantages, they are usually able to get rid of the German aircraft tracking, but now they use all their skills to dodge and dodge so that in the eyes of the crow is just a shallow dive, let you run 500 meters first, why not, a light pounce, the crow will immediately follow behind.

Than the dive is not good to start climbing, the result of climbing is still not the crow's opponent, the only way to win is to close to the crow hand-to-hand combat, but this is P-51 and P-47 difficult to achieve, P-51's maneuverability is really average, nothing more than comprehensive performance applaudation, and P-47's grappling ability is a little stronger, but when he wants to entangle the opponent, the crow brushes the ground and flies away - when diving, the high speed of 1000 kilometers can throw the enemy so that the shadow is invisible.

It wasn't until the afternoon of November 15 that a jeep-carrying herald panicked Bradley to inform him of the news from the front: his level of control over his troops had been reduced to the level of the Franco-Prussian War—although there were still many heralds and cavalry in the First World War, at least the key information could still be transmitted by radio, which is not at all possible until now.

The counterattack of the army aviation on which he had high hopes was also beaten by the overwhelming superiority of the German air power and fled, and he only dared to sneak into a guerrilla attack, and did not dare to go forward to intercept it openly at all.

"How's the troops?"

The herald gasped: "No...... No way...... The Germans used a lot of giant bombs...... The fortifications were all destroyed...... However, then the German air force suppressed so that reinforcements could not be opened...... When I go, the ...... The second line of defense has been broken, and now, the third line ...... The line of defense must have been lost, right? ”

"What?" The command was taken aback.

According to Bradley's introduction to Shi Mozi before the war: The first three lines of defense had to hold back the German army for at least 3 weeks, and now only half a day later, all three lines of defense have collapsed?

"What is the main direction of attack of the enemy army?"

"No ......," the herald stammered, "the commander said that the Germans did not have the main direction of attack, and the Germans were pushing flat and fanning out in a line. ”

Bradley's heart sank sharply, and he would only choose this style of play if he was so confident in his own strengths and power that he could not increase it that he would choose this style of play.

He asked, "Have all the front-line troops retreated to the third line of defense?" ”

"I ...... I don't know, I just know...... I only know ......" The herald glanced at Shi Mozi secretly, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Say, young man, I can bear it."

"I'm afraid the U.S. 10th Division won't be able to hold it, and then the South American 2nd and 6th Divisions are said to have surrendered......"

"What?" Everyone was taken aback, and Bradley scolded the herald, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Of course, there are no fools who can be heralds, so they immediately shut up.

Fifteen minutes later, bad news poured in one after another, and a colonel from an aviation base close to the command called to report that the wired phone was still open, crying: "I sent 47 planes, only 19 escaped, and the pilots told me that the front line was miserable, that they could not beat the Germans at all, and that the Germans had at least 600 fighters, including single-engine, extremely fast, and extremely agile jet fighters, which were very powerful!" ...... p.m."

As soon as he was halfway through his words, there was a "boom" and the phone call was interrupted, and the command sent personnel to check and found that the airfield had been attacked, and the control tower had collapsed in the explosion just now......

To be precise, by this time, the three lines of defense of the US army had not completely fallen, and even the second line of defense still had soldiers relying on fortifications to fight bravely and desperately against the German army, and a small number of US aircraft and armored units had been engaged in the process of spontaneous counterattack from beginning to end, but this struggle was doomed to be ineffective and futile. The influx of German Panzers and Panzergrenadiers had no time to distract from these remnants, they had become small ground trembling in the flood, and it was only a matter of time before they were swallowed up, and now the flood was gushing forward, and they were about to reach the fourth and fifth lanes.

By nightfall, wave after wave of oppressive attacks by the Germans continued, and it was no longer a question of whether the 4th line of defense, but the 5th line of defense, could hold on to the night.

In Blitzkrieg 2.0, there is no such thing as not being able to attack at night, and the Night Tigers and Night Leopards are ready to harvest new prey and targets.

"Führer, Heinz sent a telegram informing him of the war situation in South Africa." At the beginning of the day, Keitel reported to Hoffman on the front.

"Today, the troops launched an offensive on all fronts, launching a total of 1,104 missiles of various types, sorties of more than 4,900 aircraft, and dropping more than 16,000 tons of bombs of various types, destroying the enemy's predetermined targets within a depth of 400 kilometers. At about 9 a.m., the ground forces launched an offensive on all fronts, with a total of 4 SS Panzer Divisions, 2 Panzergrenadier Divisions, and 3 Wehrmacht Infantry Divisions engaged in the attack, advancing about 260 kilometers at the farthest point...... The efforts of the South African enemy to rely on the eastern hills to block and delay our troops have completely failed. ”

"What line of defense is there now?"

"The fifth lane, Heinz said that he will take it down before the early morning, and then attack the sixth lane early tomorrow morning."

"Can the ammunition logistics keep up?"

"It's a little difficult, mainly because of the large consumption of ammunition, but he will order the other 3 armored divisions to attack tomorrow and press the enemy with rolling wave attacks......" Keitel introduced the results of the battle, "Today 1 division of the US army was annihilated, 1 was heavily damaged, 2 South African divisions surrendered to our army, and the best fight was still the ANZ troops, and it is said that there are still people who resist stubbornly at night...... Heinz planned to treat them to cloudburst bombs tomorrow, and today's doomsday trial turned out very well, greatly exceeding expectations, and there were almost no living mouths within a radius of 800 meters. ”

Hoffman nodded in satisfaction: "It's okay to fight like this for the first time, he thinks it will take a few days to end the fight." ”

"Be optimistic, 8-10 days; Be conservative, 15 days. ”

"Then I'll wait 15 days and let him try more new methods, it doesn't matter if it's slow, the key is to innovate, and it will be smooth when it matures."
