MTL - Jagged Germany-Chapter 1727 besieged

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  On the hastily constructed position of the U.S. Eighth Army, the German army is launching a fierce attack. The cannons were roaring, slamming shells on the US military positions. At the same time, fighter planes of the Luftwaffe also appeared on the battlefield in groups, dropping bombs on the US defense line.

  In order to wipe out the U.S. troops in northern Maine in the shortest possible time, the German Army Group B did its best. Not only the several armies of the German army, which are the main force, are attacking, but also the ten armies under the two army groups of the Kingdom of England and Wales are also attacking. With the support of German aircraft, these British troops also crossed the line of defense and fought fiercely with the U.S. troops.

  Although the combat effectiveness of the British army is not strong, it is difficult to break through the US defense line. However, it made them dare not act rashly. A large number of U.S. troops were dragged on the ground, and there was no way to rescue other troops. They could only watch the superior forces of the German army eat up their troops little by little, which made the U.S. military's strength in this battle The situation is getting worse and worse.

"General, our first-line positions have been breached by the Germans. The German armored forces are attacking our second-line forces." A major general reported to Lieutenant General Robert Eckleberg, commander of the US Eighth Army, with a pale face. road.

   "8th Armored Division? Did they fail too?" Lieutenant General Robert Eckleberg's face was gloomy, as if dripping water.

   "General, the 8th Armored Division and the German 8th Armored Division are fighting head-on, and have been defeated amidst heavy losses." The major general reported.

   "Bastard! Can't the 8th Armored Division hold on for half a day?" Lieutenant General Robert Eckleberg couldn't help cursing.

   But the reality is like this, Lieutenant General Robert Eckleberg has no choice.

  Under the joint siege of the German 8th Army and the 13th Army, the US 8th Army suffered heavy losses and was about to be unable to hold on.

   "Where are our reinforcements? Where is the 11th Army?" Lieutenant General Robert Eckleberg asked.

  The previous order of the US Army General Staff was to let the 8th Army and the 11th Army go south to reinforce the US 5th Army and 6th Army. It's just that the 11th Army of the U.S. Army has a longer distance, so it falls behind. The German army seized this opportunity and assembled superior forces to attack the US Eighth Army. Obviously, the German army wanted to get rid of the US Eighth Army first.

   "General, the 11th Army was bombed by the Luftwaffe and suffered considerable losses. At the same time, the speed of the march was also delayed," the major general reported.

"Damn! Don't they know that if they don't arrive in time, we will be eaten by the Germans? Send a telegram to the General Staff and ask them to rush the 11th Army." Lieutenant General Robert Eckleberg growled angrily.

   "Yes, General." The major general immediately went to send a telegram.

  Although, the U.S. Army General Staff immediately ordered the U.S. 11th Army to speed up. But the 11th Army of the U.S. Army also complained endlessly. They were bombed by a massive swarm of the Luftwaffe. Hundreds of German TA-152 fighter jets covered more than a hundred H-11 medium bombers and bombed them. The entire 11th Army of the U.S. Army suffered considerable losses.

   Moreover, the German Air Force would dispatch planes to attack them almost at dawn, making the US 11th Army's marching speed not much faster than a snail.

  Under the siege of the main force of the German army, the U.S. Eighth Army only lasted for two days, and the entire army lost most of its strength. The remaining troops fled north. This also allowed the German 8th Army and 13th Army to drive straight in and continue to attack.

  The five armies of the 2nd Army Group of the Army of the Kingdom of England and Wales also followed the German 8th Army and the 13th Army and launched an attack.

  Although these British troops are not the opponents of the U.S. military in frontal combat, they are still very good at fighting with the German army. Even, with the support of the German army, their fighting will was high, and they even dared to confront the US military head-on on many battlefields. On the other hand, in the US military, one army after another was defeated or eliminated, causing the morale of the US military to continue to decline. This also seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the US military. There was even a situation of fleeing on the lookout. The various troops of the U.S. military have powerful weapons and equipment, but they can't exert much combat effectiveness at all.

  On April 18, Army Group C of the German Army defeated the 18th Army and the 19th Army of the US Army, entered Michigan, and began to attack the southern area of ​​the Great Lakes.

  Facing the attack of the German Army Group C and millions of German servants, the U.S. defense forces in the Great Lakes region were already weak and could not withstand the German attack at all.

  At the same time, the German Army Group A was rampaging in Vermont and New York, and the U.S. military was also retreating steadily under the fierce German attack.

  The U.S. military is constantly failing on various battlefields. Naturally, there are no more troops to rescue the troops in Maine.

  On April 19, the German army defeated the 7th and 9th U.S. Army.

  At the same time, the German 14th Army and 15th Army, with the assistance of the British 1st Army Group, defeated the US 12th Army and the 13th Army, further reducing the US military's space for activities.

  For a while, the U.S. troops in northern Maine suffered heavy losses, and a large number of U.S. troops were wiped out or captured by the German army. The remaining troops were also compressed in northern Maine, east of the Appalachian Mountains. Moreover, the remaining part of the US military is less than one million. Moreover, these troops lost a large amount of heavy equipment and were compressed into an encirclement of less than 200 square kilometers.

   Surrounding this American army was the main force of the German Army Group B, the British Army Group 1 and Army Group 2.

  In order to rescue the U.S. troops in Maine, the U.S. Army dispatched the 24th Army and the 25th Army from New Hampshire to Maine. However, the two armies encountered the German 3rd Army at Portland. Although the U.S. military has two armies, it has an advantage in terms of strength and heavy equipment.

   But unfortunately, the battlefield here is located by the sea. The German Navy dispatched a large number of ships and carrier-based aircraft to assist the German Army's 3rd Army in operations. Even the Marine Corps dispatched three divisions to land here to reinforce the 3rd Army. In the end, the US 24th Army and 25th Army stormed for several days and suffered heavy losses. However, they were unable to break through the German defense line, and could only sit back and watch the surrounded U.S. troops be annihilated by the German army.
