"We're going to do a miracle!" As soon as Roosevelt's speech to Congress ended, the huge American war machine accelerated wildly, just to save the group of American GIs trapped in Turkey, and to boost the morale of Americans all over the world.

For this salvation, the Americans have paid blood.

Now the American army in Turkey is divided into three parts by the Chinese army.

Some of them are alone in Ankara, and if they want to save people under the heavy siege of the Chinese army, it is simply difficult to climb to the sky. There was no other good way than to defeat the Chinese army.

However, with the help of Ankara's complex terrain and Turkish resistance, the defense conditions of the US military near the Black Sea Strait are somewhat better.

In order to ensure the safety of these American troops, the Americans vigorously promised the Turkish government in Ankara and Istanbul, and directly encouraged them with money and materials, so that they would not surrender to the Huaxia and the Germans, and could also summon up the courage to continue to launch a large-scale attack and harassment against the Chinese troops entering their territory, so as to relieve the pressure on the American troops and buy time for the Americans' rescue and counterattack.

The anxious Americans urgently dispatched a large number of fighters from North Africa and Europe to rush in, and by virtue of their numerical superiority and unfatal impact, they temporarily regained their air supremacy disadvantage near the Black Sea Straits and confronted China again.

Even if they have not yet gained air superiority, the American C-47 transport planes, accompanied by many wild horses and thunderbolts, rushed to the skies over Ankara without fear of death to drop strategic supplies and ammunition weapons.

Under the interception of Huaxia's J-5 jet fighters, although most of them were shot down or fled back, this time is not to look at the comparison of casualties and losses. The move of being partially airdropped to Ankara directly boosted the morale there, and gave the U.S. troops and Turks there more confidence to hold on to the end.

Because it is separated by a wide Sea of Marmara, when the US troops retreated, they directly chose the narrower Bosphorus Strait and the Dardanelles Strait, which were divided into two sections by the Chinese army that rushed all the way to Bursa.

With the Germans focused on Istanbul, American troops near the Bosphorus were also counting on entering the European part of Turkey to recuperate. The idea of temporarily blocking the attack of the Huaxia people with the help of the moat in the Black Sea Strait was shattered.

Although this Constantinople. In the past, it had always been known to be difficult to overcome, but under the heavy artillery bombardment of the Germans, especially the 2 Karl heavy mortars of the Germans that had been discovered, they were being transported in the direction of Turkey, and no one was sure that they could hold it.

Now there are only two ways left in front of the United States, one is to enter the Black Sea by water and evacuate.

Under the aerial bombardment of China and Germany, there was also the control of the Chinese army on the coast of the Sea of Marmara, which wanted to enter the Mediterranean Sea from the water through the Black Sea straits. It's very unrealistic. On the contrary, it is a direct withdrawal into the Black Sea, which is less risky.

It was only during the war between Turkey and Soviet Russia that the warships of the Germans and Italians, who had a partial naval voice in the Mediterranean, entered the Black Sea, making the Germans' control of the Black Sea far beyond the original history.

The Germans controlled most of the territory of the Black Sea coast of Soviet Russia, and even the Russian Black Sea Fleet had to retreat to a small area near the Caucasus.

Although after Turkey re-blocked the Black Sea straits. The German warships in the Black Sea also lost the ability to sustain strikes against the Soviet-Russian warships in the Black Sea, but it was still easy to deal with the withdrawn fleet of the Americans. In the case that the US Navy is beyond the reach of the whip, it can only count on the escort of the Soviet and Russian Black Sea Fleet, which has been greatly reduced in strength.

The Russians, who had been confined to the army and air force receiving support from Britain and the United States. At this time, the lion took the opportunity to ask for the benefits of the navy.

The Americans don't care about bloodshed, but they care more about the placement of the next batch of American troops.

After entering the Black Sea, even if they could escape the interception of the German fleet and the Axis air forces overhead, these American troops could only be placed in the Caucasus and continue to be trapped. Not to mention under the northern and southern attacks of the Chinese army and the German army. How long the Caucasus can hold out is only a logistical supply here in the future. It's a headache.

Turkey to the south of the Caucasus Mountains fell, as did Soviet Russia to the north. The waterways are impassable, and the loss of air access is too great to bear. In this harsh place in the Caucasus. It is inconceivable to be cut off from the outside world.

The Americans did not want to take this road unless they had to, and besides, they also needed to consider the problem of blocking the Chinese and German armies.

The significance of the meeting of the two core giants of the Axis powers is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people, not to mention that it also carries the aura of the meeting of European rulers and Asian rulers.

This was a blow to the morale of the Allies and a boost to the morale of the Axis powers, and the resulting bias towards a series of neutral forces, as well as the wait-and-see and defection of other wall-to-wall grass and soft-footed shrimp, which the Allied top brass could not have imagined. At the same time, once the Chinese army knocked on the door of Europe, the next countless scenes of Chinese troops pouring into Europe also made the Allied high-level people shudder.

This is no longer just a question of the safety of tens of thousands of US troops, but a question of the strategic height of the entire war.

"The Chinese attack is more active, and it is a wise choice to rely on the Black Sea Strait to block the continued advance of the Chinese army." The triumvirate of Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin met and quickly decided on a plan, and the backbone of this blocking army was the Allied officers and soldiers trapped in the Black Sea Straits at this time.

In order not to conflict with the rescue slogan, the order of the American top brass was eventually changed to withdraw the American troops to Istanbul and, depending on the situation, to the Black Sea or along the Black Sea straits in the direction of the Mediterranean.

Similarly, the U.S. forces near the Dardanelles were ordered to move toward the European part of Turkey and block the Chinese army across the strait, but their last rescue route was in the Mediterranean.

Allied ships in the Mediterranean, directly in the Aegean Sea, either to rescue or defend, will have the initiative in advance.

The Americans played the rescue card with one hand and the purpose of intercepting China with the other, making a final effort.

If, with continuous support, the interception is really successful, the defeat of the Americans this time will be overshadowed by a strategic victory, and the morale of the Allies will be reinvigorated.

Of course, if this group of defeated Allied forces was wiped out by the Huaxia and the Germans before the Allied reinforcements arrived, all this would undoubtedly be a joke.

The key is to make the Chinese army or the Germans who are constantly pushing towards the Black Sea Straits slow down the pace of the attack, and win more time.

Thinking that the United States and Huaxia were losing wars elsewhere, there was no way to stumble the actions of the Huaxia in Turkey.

The Americans had no choice but to pay a lot of money to encourage the British to launch an attack on Turkey from the remnants of North Africa and the Middle East to contain it, and to encourage the Soviet Russians to launch an attack on Turkey in the direction of the Caucasus to contain it.

"That's not enough!" The Americans understood that although the British and the Russians also had the intention of preventing the Chinese from entering Europe, they each had German troops resisting and could not devote full energy to dealing with the Chinese. At most, it was only containment, and it was not enough to completely affect the pace of the advance of the Huaxia army.

"Maybe we can think about it from a different perspective!" Eisenhower advised, "If we defeat the Germans first, we will delay their divisions, and we will have less enemies on one side, and we will have more energy to deal with the Chinese!" ”

At this time, compared with the Chinese army that was killing like a rainbow, the Germans, who were undoubtedly weak on the eastern and western fronts, were more like a soft persimmon that was easy to pinch.

In Europe, the Allies had developed an advantage over the Germans, making it easier to involve and influence their actions.

As a result, the Americans temporarily put on hold their attacks on North Africa and northern Italy, and instead launched an attack on Greece and Albania, so as to directly attack the German army in Bulgaria and break the soft persimmon of the German army in the Balkans through Nirvana.

Allies on the Eastern Front, along with France and elsewhere, also put pressure on the surrounding German forces, making it difficult for them to mobilize forces to rescue the Balkans.

At the same time, in order to gain time at the front, the Americans, in addition to fooling the Turks, also intensified their agitation against the American GIs.

The young master soldiers in the United States are usually a little casual, but once their lives are in danger, these American cowboys, who have been playing with guns since childhood and have an adventurous spirit in their bones, have exploded into amazing combat effectiveness.

Although half of the heavy weapons were lost during the retreat, the defeated American troops who retreated to the west relied on the surrounding shape and the trenches and fortifications built to hold the last foothold on the Asia Minor Peninsula, creating a small miracle.

……

"As long as we defeat these Americans again, we will be able to create a new miracle, why not let us continue to attack?" Zhang Zizhong couldn't think about it in his heart.

Although the army's logistics were tight and it was a little tired from fighting for several days, its morale was high, and it could continue to fight again, sweeping away the US troops near the Black Sea Strait in one fell swoop. Although casualties will increase, if the Americans are better prepared, the offensive losses will be even greater.

"The superiors have other plans to attack. Tactical actions should be subordinated to strategic arrangements, not just in front of you! In the last sentence, Niu Er directly relayed Meng Xiang's original words. (To be continued.) )
