MTL - Jagged Germany-Chapter 1693 fatal blow

"Your Excellency Marshal, the American armored forces have been dispatched. Judging from the serial numbers that appear, the Americans have invested in an armored division and two mechanized infantry divisions. There are more than 500 tanks dispatched. The troops on the front line fought very well. It is difficult and the loss is great." Lieutenant General Coulter reported.

   Marshal Bromberg frowned tightly. The strength of the counterattack launched by the Americans made him somewhat unexpected.

   "Can the troops on the front line withstand the American attack?" Marshal Bromberg asked.

   "General, our armored forces cannot reach the southern part of the Canso Strait, and there is no way to reinforce them. It is very difficult to resist the attack of the American armored forces." Lieutenant General Coulter reported.

   "Let the Air Force and Navy find a way to dispatch bombers and kill the American tanks!" Marshal Bromberg ordered.

   "Yes, General." Lieutenant General Coulter replied.

  When one's own armored forces are unable to participate in the battle, they can only count on the air force. The Air Force's dive bombers and ground attack aircraft can easily deal with American tanks. It's just that the American fighter jets posed a great threat to the German dive bombers and ground attack aircraft.

   Fortunately, in the air battle between the two sides, as the German army invested more and more fighter jets, the U.S. Army Air Force was about to be unable to hold on. In this case, the bombers of the Luftwaffe and Navy will soon be able to enter the battlefield.

"In addition, let the 4th and 5th Divisions of the Marine Corps go out. The 1st Armored Division, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division are ready to attack. Since the Americans have prepared such a powerful counterattack, how can we Let go of these delicacies delivered to your door?" Marshal Bromberg said with a smile.

   "Yes, Marshal, I will immediately let the 4th and 5th Divisions of the Marine Corps do it!" Lieutenant General Coulter said.

  In fact, the direction of the Canso Strait is not the main landing direction of the German army. On the contrary, the port of Buche in the west of the Canso Strait is the goal of the German army. Although the port there is not big, if the raid is successful, the German armored forces can use such a port and disembark quickly. By then, the German armored forces will be enough to make the Americans pay for it.

   It's just that in order to prevent the Americans from being on guard, the German army launched a fierce attack on Aldous and Mulgrave. The purpose is to confuse the US military. Now, the US military has devoted its main force to the German offensive on the south bank of the Canso Strait. It can be seen that the Americans have been fooled.

  The German army is about to launch a more fatal blow to the US military.

   On the south bank of the Canso Strait, fierce fighting continues. Relying on the powerful armored forces of the U.S. Army, the German army suffered heavy losses. The first line of defense had been breached by the US military, forcing the Germans to retreat to the second line of defense. This line of defense is only a few hundred meters away from the Canso Strait. If this line of defense can no longer be defended, they will be driven into the sea by the Americans. Therefore, the German army can be regarded as having no way out.

   "Haha, continue to attack and drive all those Germans into the sea to feed the fish!" Lieutenant General Smith, the commander of the US 1st Armored Division, was full of spirit. It's just that he didn't seem to realize that the fighter planes of the U.S. Army Air Forces that provided air cover for the U.S. Army had suffered heavy losses. The remaining fighters have all been driven away.

   And German dive bombers and ground attack aircraft are taking off from the airport in Newfoundland. The aircraft carrier formation on the sea is also taking off dive bombers. These dive bombers will pose a deadly threat to the armored forces of the US military.

  However, the armed helicopters equipped by the German Marine Corps arrived on the battlefield first.

  Although, the number of armed helicopters appearing on the battlefield is only a few dozen. However, they dealt a heavy blow to the US armored forces.

   "Shhhhh!"

  A gunship opens fire on an M26 heavy tank. The rockets roared and hit the tank.

  Though, the armor of the tank is thick. But not every armor is very strong.

  The thickest part of the armor of the tank is concentrated in the front of the tank. The side and rear armor is very weak. Especially the top of the tank has only a very thin layer of armor. The rockets fired by the German armed helicopters can easily destroy it.

  The rocket penetrated the armor on the top of the tank, and the tank soldiers inside were killed instantly.

  Under the attack of the German armed helicopters, one after another American tanks were shot into fireballs.

  If the M26 heavy tanks of the US military can barely withstand the attack of the German armed helicopters, those M5 light tanks are completely vulnerable. The rockets of these armed helicopters of the German army are enough to easily tear these M5 light tanks into pieces.

   "Asshole, fire and shoot down these planes of the Germans!"

  Faced with the German armed helicopter attack, the U.S. armored forces chose to fight back. It's just that it's not so easy for tank guns to hit those helicopters. The speed of a helicopter is much faster than that of a tank turret. Before the tank could react, it had already been hit.

  The machine gun of the tank can destroy those gunships. However, it is not so easy for the machine gun on the tank to shoot into the air.

  The emergence of German armed helicopters has curbed the attack of the US armored forces.

  When a large number of German dive bombers and ground attack aircraft rushed to the battlefield, the end of the US armored forces came.

  US tanks, whether heavy tanks or light tanks, cannot withstand the tanks dropped by the German dive bombers and ground attack aircraft. Although, the US air defense forces immediately counterattacked. But still can't save the situation.

  A large number of US tanks were blown into scrap iron.

  In the case of heavy losses, the attack of the US armored forces was also frustrated.

  At two o'clock in the afternoon, the 4th and 5th Divisions of the German Marine Corps dispatched two hundred helicopters to attack the Port of Bucher. The helicopters skimmed the sea and were not detected by air search radar.

  Before the U.S. troops stationed in Bucher Port reacted, dozens of German armed helicopters attacked them, and the U.S. troops were defeated.

   While general-purpose helicopters and transport helicopters landed, the two battalions of marines successfully landed. With the assistance of the helicopters, the U.S. troops were unable to resist.

   Subsequently, a large number of marines in landing craft landed, which further aggravated the failure of the US military.

   Just an hour later, Port Boucher fell into the hands of the Germans.

  The German tank landing ship, which had been waiting on the sea for a long time, sent the German armored troops to the port of Boucher.
