Section 472: Americans run first
"Take all these bastards who took the lead in escape to me to the military court. They ignore the honor of our United States of America and the honor of our army. Such people must not be ruthless. If all officers in the army look at it, these people must be on the guillotine. They must be responsible for this matter. A good plan will be disrupted by them. Did they join the army to escape?" Inside the Allied Command, General Eisenhower was furious.
Before, he made a remark that the American army had the most fighting spirit within the Allied forces. He bragged a lot for the reputation of the American army, and all of them were lost in this battle. The American soldiers under him really made him face, so that all the Allied soldiers knew that the first one was the American soldiers in General Eisenhower's mouth.
The following combat staff dare not say anything. General Eisenhower is relatively relaxed in governing the army. He has two completely different styles from General Patton. If General Patton is here, I am afraid these soldiers will not dare to retreat like this. After all, General Patton dares to shoot officers, and those officers dare not do whatever they want for their own heads. But General Eisenhower dares to do this today. This matter is really annoying. There is only one armored division in China, and the other troops are left behind by this armored division. If they can unite in sincerity, they will definitely be able to fight a victorious sniper battle this time. I don’t ask you to wipe out the Chinese armored division. As long as they can stop them for a period of time, we can pay the Sixth Army.
Now, it has not stopped the attack of the Chinese people, but has lost all our defensive positions. The most fatal thing is to hit the morale of the Allied forces. All the bulls that General Eisenhower bragged were not realized. For ordinary Allied soldiers, they have lost their trust in the Allied Commander-in-Chief and believed that the Allied Commander-in-Chief would not have anything but bragging, and even some American soldiers would not believe it.
At this time, General Eisenhower had to find someone to take the blame. Hitler was the first to take the blame. The cause of this was because of the Sixth Army. If you want to arrest General Paulus, you should first communicate with the Allied Command. We should also send strong support. Your own Gestapo cannot accomplish this. If we send thousands of military police, I believe that the soldiers of the Sixth Army would not dare to do too much. Unfortunately, Hitler would not do this. For his own face, Hitler had no intention of notifying the Allied Command. He believed that the Allied Command could only cause trouble, so this matter was only carried out by his own direct line. What was the result? The entire Sixth Army defected.
If the Sixth Army had not defected, the Chinese would not have insisted on launching such a battle in southern Poland. According to the Allied Command's estimates, the Chinese would only launch an attack in the northern and eastern regions because they had been preparing there for a long time. The Chinese were not prepared for this battle in southern Poland, but relatively speaking, the Allied Forces were even more hasty. At least the Chinese still had a few days to prepare, and the Allied Forces had only a few hours to prepare. The Allied Forces were still very fast. After the last rectification, they did things less and less delayed, but they did not expect that the troops below did not have this speed.
General Eisenhower quickly summarized that there were two people responsible for the failure of this battle. Some of them were the German commander-in-chief, headed by Hitler and Heidrich. They did not inform the Allied Command of this matter, so the root of the matter was them. In addition to these people, they were tactical losers, that is, the officers who led the United States to escape, and these people also had to bear part of the responsibility. But relatively speaking, there was no greater responsibility than the German commander-in-chief. After all, it was because of them that caused this matter. General Eisenhower did not forget to shelter his subordinates at this time.
At a high-level meeting within the Allied forces, General Eisenhower attacked Hitler, believing that this matter was Hitler's mastermind, but the German Command did not think so. They attributed everything to the Allied Command. If you did not retreat here, then you would definitely be able to withstand it in the town, and this matter would not happen. Who told you to retreat? You were not afraid of the attacking ability of the Chinese and the fear of being killed by the Chinese. The US military is different from the armies of other countries. All your weapons and equipment are complete, and even the Chinese are worse than that of the Chinese. Even you can't stand it, and other countries are even more impossible. The German Command attributed everything to the retreat of the US military.
This incident disturbed President Roosevelt, and President Roosevelt couldn't say anything. What both sides said was actually reasonable, but from the bottom of his heart, President Roosevelt still felt that Germany had done something wrong, and just for his own face, he pushed the entire army to China. General Paulus was indeed a bit suspicious of being traitorous, but it was not enough to let the secret police arrest him personally. Therefore, Hitler's handling was very problematic. If a relatively gentle method could be adopted, the Sixth Army could still be preserved. Now it is useless to say that this is the entire Sixth Army has surrendered, and nearly 50,000 Chinese troops have also been welcomed in their positions.
Since the Sixth Army's position was connected with the Chinese, the Chinese had no one-minute rest time. A large number of troops arrived in the Sixth Army's position. The distance between them and the Allied forces was less than two kilometers. Although they were all Allied troops around, they continued to transport troops here, preparing to turn this place into a fortress. As for the 160-kilometer transportation line, the Chinese also began to expand around. The total number of troops invested more than 300,000 people, which was already a lot on the European battlefield. After all, the surrounding areas needed troops to confront each other, and the European Front did not have many war-making troops. It was already very worthy of face to be able to give out 300,000 people.
