Chapter 588: Final Honor
All along, there is a huge problem plaguing the coalition forces, that is, logistics support, and the more the battlefield is fought, the more serious the logistics problem becomes, and the Nazis are on the defensive most of the time, and they are better than the coalition forces attacking all the way, because the supplies have long been hoarded, and there is no need to fight and transport them wherever they are like the coalition army.
The coalition forces have a pitiful law that has not changed until now, the Seven-Day War, that is, every time the coalition forces launch an attack, it can only support seven days, and after seven days, even if they fight smoothly, they have to stop the offensive and defend with all their might, so as to wait for the supply of strategic materials, which makes every victory of the coalition army extremely embarrassing, and the rout when defeated by the other side is even more serious.
The leadership of the coalition forces was a headache for this problem, and they tried everything they could to ensure the supply of the front, but they were still stretched, and the situation became more and more serious as the offensive occupied more and more places.
After looting the people for self-preservation, the expected great change finally happened, the people changed, although the people of Europe knew that neo-Nazis were not a good thing, but the Nazis could barely eat, but this situation was broken after the coalition entered Europe.
The defeated Nazis burned and looted all the materials they could find, and this action suddenly put the people on the verge of frequent death, and the coalition forces that came later were not able to support these people, so driven by hunger, the people could only survive by looting the supplies of the coalition army, even if they would be killed by the coalition forces, and in Europe, most countries did not have a gun ban, so the people had a large number of weapons in their hands, and during the Nazi occupation, because life could still go on, So there are no large rebel armed groups, but now it is different, in order to survive, even if it is to challenge dangerous armies.
The current situation shows that the larger the area of land occupied by the coalition forces, the stronger the resistance will be, and by the time Shangguan Feng is eating roasted camels, the rear supply lines of the coalition forces have all been cut off.
A few hours after the incident, after the few escorts who had been lucky enough to escape had brought back the news of the attack, Admiral Hossbach, who had been awakened from his sleep and was full of anger, immediately fell into his chair, and if the supplies were interrupted, he would now have only enough supplies for the army for three days, which was a disastrous consequence.
How? Admiral Hossbach had to invite Baker, as well as Shangguan Feng and Annie, due to the current good situation of the coalition forces, Annie has asked Ah Jiu to take the Smith family and rush here in a small combat boat, this is a move reserved by Anne, because Smith's current identity is too special, both to use and hide, so Anne is careful to ensure the safety of the Smith family, and also arranged Ah Jiu to be next to the Smith family, even if there is a serious shortage of personnel on his side, he does not dare to let Ah Jiu help.
The four of them were now sitting in Admiral Horsbach's staff room, discussing what to do next, and there were two options before them, the first was to attack directly and try to take Hamburg, the Nazi stronghold, within three days, and the second was to lay siege to Hamburg with heavy troops, and then send a large number of troops to re-establish and open up the supply lines of the coalition forces.
Although the first method is risky, it is effective, the second method does not need to take risks, it can ensure the victory of the attack, but it is very slow, it is estimated that even if everything goes well, it will take half a month before the full-scale attack, Anne has already made up her mind in her heart, but at this time, in front of several men, she wisely chose not to participate for the time being, but like a subordinate of Shangguan Feng, she was busy serving tea and pouring water to the three men to take care of them, listening carefully and analyzing their conversation.
Admiral Hossbach's attitude is to seek stability, because he has the safety of the entire coalition army on his shoulders, and he has to be careful and cautious, anyway, he will win a complete victory in half a month, so what does it matter if he waits for a while, Beck's attitude is to be ready to take a risk, the war itself is not stable, if you wait for half a month, what if something uncontrollable happens in the night?
Although the Nazis gathered all their troops in Hamburg, they still can't be compared with the coalition army in terms of numbers, even if there are Aryan warriors and beast soldiers, they are not very numerous, but they have Shangguanfeng's team of characters who can sweep the world, so it is not difficult to suppress the team, and Baker still has an unspeakable secret, he is a general, he does not dare to show any sympathy for his old companions, but also shows his strength and hatred for them, because if he is not like this, It would cause great trouble for both him and Anne, who had made promises for him.
Baker's mind is not only Annie, but even Shangguan Feng can understand it, so he has long included Baker in his scope of protection, and he has been staring at the upper echelons of the coalition like an old hen guarding a calf.
So his attitude is indispensable, let Beck and Hossbach discuss it themselves and report it, anyway, if they have different ideas, Shangguan Feng will not support Hossbach, even if he roasts himself how many camels he has not discussed.
He planned to do so, but he directly hit Baker with suffering, because he had many scruples, so he didn't dare to say his intentions first, so no matter what Admiral Hosbach said, Baker was silent with neither agreement nor opposition.
Anne saw the situation clearly, but she didn't want to interject now, she didn't want to be the one who would be shot, although she knew that if she signaled, Baker would rush to the front for her.
The specific way to do it is up to the highest level of the coalition to decide, and in their place, there is no one at the top of the coalition army, but Smith is about to arrive, calculating the time, there will be another half an hour at most, and the small combat boat will arrive here, as the new president of the United States, he has the right to decide what to do, if it is not confirmed by this kind of top level, there will be big problems in the future, and Anike can't afford to carry such a big thunder.
Smith was tightly protected, which was equivalent to being tightly sealed, and there were no American people around him, so the news was very ill-informed, and he thought that this time he came mainly to taste the roasted camel dish that Shangguan Feng said.
As a result, after he arrived, he was eating roast camels with great interest, but they threw such a thorny problem, Baker came to participate in the war as an American general, and it was his duty as the president to support him, Smith knew in his heart that Anne arranged this way in order to let herself block the mine for Baker at a critical moment.
If he was just a colonel, then Smith would definitely support Baker now, because fighter planes are rare, but as the president of the United States and one of the supreme commanders of the coalition forces, he can't think like this, because the safety of the whole army is of paramount importance, so he doesn't dare to gamble easily.
By swallowing the camel meat in his mouth, Smith first looked at the expressions of the crowd, and after reading it, he knew in his heart that what was currently in front of him was not to fight or not, but to beware of Shangguan Feng's madness.
So he swallowed the camel meat and cleared his throat, and said to the people who were looking at him: "If we attack in an all-out way, once our attack is not smooth, and if the opponent counterattacks, we will not even have enough ammunition to resist, this is too risky, it is better to send heavy troops to open up the supply line, and the enemy in Hamburg has been contained, based on Shangguan Feng's team, let's send more people to assist, temporarily transfer him to two divisions, and in this half a month, you will attack as much as you want, and you can kill as many as you can, By the way, if you feel where the Nazis store their supplies in Hamburg, they must have a stockpile, and if they can find it, then we can breathe a sigh of relief. ”
For Smith's proposal, no one can say anything wrong, especially Baker, he is an American general appointed by Smith, Smith's proposal is an order that must be carried out for him, and Baker is still very happy, the number of the two divisions is much more worry-free than his current 100,000 people, and by commanding these two divisions, he can completely remove the commander of the front army.
Shangguan Feng didn't object to Smith's proposal, he thought it was a good proposal, and he didn't see Anne look at him, so there should be no problem.
The next morning, under the leadership of Baker, two fully equipped integrated divisions launched an attack on the Ziegfei defense line, and at the forefront of the two divisions was Shangguan Feng, who was not like yesterday's slow fighting style, kicking open the door of the bunker was a few grenades.
Originally, the 100 fortifications he broke through yesterday were destroyed by him and had little defense, but today he destroyed them again and again, and immediately dealt a heavy blow to the enemy troops who reoccupied this place last night, and yesterday's strong attack on Shangguan Feng had already spread over a large area of the Nazi army, and now when Shangguan Feng came to attack like yesterday, many defenders immediately dispersed.
In this way, within two hours, Shangguan Feng smashed through half the thickness of Siegfried's defense line, and in order to prevent the remaining half from being broken through like this again, the Nazis sent their most elite SS youth division here to do the final defense, and the leader was the current commander-in-chief of the Nazi army, Field Marshal Riester.
At this time, Lister was full of bitterness, he began to regret the decision to fight the coalition army to the end, he may be able to lead the troops to withstand the attack of the coalition army, but he ignored the demon star Shangguan Feng, what did he think at the beginning? Rommel's words, now he realized how good they were.
But where is Rommel now? If he was there, he would be able to help himself, and Rist had another headache when he thought of this, what should he do now? Even if the most elite youth division in the whole army is transferred, it seems that there is no way to stop Shangguan.
Judging from the intelligence returned from the reconnaissance, the coalition forces have now only sent two divisions of armed forces to attack, and the others are still holding their ground, Lister is a little confused about the opponent's intentions, the only thing that can be sure is that the opponent puts on this formation, and it must have set the vanguard of the entire attack on Shangguan Feng.
Rist currently has two choices, the first is to lead all the horses he can mobilize and have a head-on confrontation with the coalition forces, but the most critical problem is that he has no way to resist Shangguanfeng in his hands, and the soldiers sent up are just sent to death.
The second is to let others lead the team to compete with Shangguan Feng and those two divisions, and take advantage of the opportunity of their battle to quickly find a way to escape, only in this way can he avoid the imminent catastrophe, as for the means of transportation, he has already chosen, it is a large wooden sailboat of a former Hamburg multimillionaire, and now the sailboat is full of water and food, just waiting for him to get on the ship and leave.
The clever Rist chose the second path for himself, but before he left, he gave his deputy General Orsunleck, his most trusted subordinate, and a stilted, pure soldier, who knew that as long as he gave this order, Orsunleck would definitely fight to his last moment.
Rist was gone, leaving General Orsenleck alone in the underground headquarters in Hamburg, he knew what Rist was doing, and despised this leader from the inside out, he calmly arranged the necessary defenses, took out a bottle of 1674 Scotch whisky from his office closet, poured himself three glasses, drank it in one gulp, dropped the bottle, and walked out of the room with his greatsword.
It is impossible to surrender to himself, and it is even more impossible to let himself not carry out the orders left by his superiors, but seeing thousands of young soldiers doing senseless death, Orsenleke really can't bear it, so he has to choose a suicidal attack, as long as he dies, others can surrender to the coalition forces, right?
With this determination to die, Orsenleck and his platoon of guards made their way to the front of the battle-torn Siegfried Line, where he could see Shangguan Feng and the women around him chasing the Nazi soldiers like wolves rushing into the flock without binoculars.
His soldiers cried out in despair, but these loyal young division soldiers still did not choose to flee, they still resisted with all their might, even if the resistance they did was useless, they still desperately launched a wave of charges against their opponents.
General Aosenleck's eyes were hot, and he wiped the tears on his face by throwing off his shirt, and in a roar, he waved his giant sword and rushed towards Shangguan Feng, the guard platoon he led was part of the guard battalion of the Nazi Command, all of which were composed of second- and third-level Aryan soldiers.
