On December 23, 1944, the German counterattack in the Ardennes was progressing smoothly. They had penetrated many Allied defense lines. The coast was in sight. Antwerp and Liege were already crumbling, and they would soon cut off the Allied supply lines in Belgium.
.
The Allied forces in Belgium desperately tried to defend against the German attack on their rear, but it was too late. Bastogne fell on the 22nd, and an entire US division was wiped out. The German strategic situation was excellent. The British Air Force desperately began to attack the German army indiscriminately.
They dropped bombs in areas entangled with the Allies, and even used Lancaster bombers to drop the newly produced "Grand Slam" bombs.
O'Brien and his stalkers were fighting with the troops of the U.S. Second Armored Division. The tanks of both sides were intertwined. There were enemies on all sides - for both sides. At this time, a bomb weighing 22,000 pounds was no accident.
By chance, O'Brien's stalker hit him right...
O'Brien died completely unconscious - quickly and cleanly. It was impossible to tell whether he was killed by the bomb or blown up - it made no difference anyway.
The German battle continued. On the 24th, the weather improved, and the Allied air forces were dispatched in large numbers. But at the same time, Germany's super aerial aces were also dispatched one after another. The sky was like a boiling pot, and countless fighter jets from both sides were strangled together.
The Allied fighter jets suffered heavy casualties. The fascist aces in the sky were like gods - they avoided the artillery shells fired by the Allied pilots in advance. Multiple Allied aircraft were shot down in every attack, and they almost missed their shots.
, there is not much waste, about 4 to 5 shells can shoot down an Allied fighter jet.
The sky was occupied by black "crows" and "swifts". The British "meteors" really turned into falling meteors in the sky, and the American P59 was unable to fight back.
Fortunately, there are only a few German super aces with special abilities, and their artillery shells are not unlimited, and the number of dispatches per day is also limited. Most German pilots are only slightly more capable than the Allied pilots, so
With their absolute superiority in numbers and logistics, the Allies slowly regained the situation. At the same time, they were able to dispatch a large number of aircraft to attack the German Army troops on the ground. After all, the German aces were unable to shoot down all the attack aircraft...
.
However, the advancement of the German ground forces was still strong. On the 25th, they engaged in a fierce tank battle with the US 2nd Armored Division and the 1st Infantry Division. The battle fully demonstrated the capabilities of the King Tiger, Lynx and E100 "Mammoth"
Powerful. They completely drove the U.S. 2nd Armored Division and the 1st Infantry Division off the battlefield, destroyed a large number of U.S. armored forces, and forced the two divisions to retreat to Antwerp for reinforcements. But it was the Americans' fighting that made Germany
A large amount of human ammunition and fuel were consumed, and at the same time, German logistics supply depots were also attacked by some American squads.
The report said that an American soldier wearing a blue military uniform with a white five-pointed star on his chest, a half-face mask with an A on his forehead, and a strange small buckler on his left hand entered the battle. The soldier's reaction
, physical strength and speed are beyond ordinary people, and can even judge the trajectory of machine guns and use the shield made of strange metal in his right hand to defend. This shield can withstand the firing of mg machine guns, and this strange American soldier can also use the shield to defend himself.
He can catch bullets without breaking his arm - he really has strong arm strength and strong bones. Moreover, he can also use the shield to attack - it flies out to hit people like a boomerang or Frisbee. He can also shoot with a pistol with his right hand extremely accurately.
.This American soldier led a small group of American soldiers to attack several German logistics supply depots, fought many battles with Colonel Hugo Weaving of the SS, and succeeded! They destroyed several supply depots, and most importantly
The thing is - they blew up a very important US military oil storage station that had just been captured by the Germans, successfully driving the first nail in the coffin of the Germans' failure in the Ardennes counterattack.
This American soldier was widely publicized, and his code name was "Captain America" or something like that, but in the end this "Captain America" hit the iron plate.
On the 27th, the German army had already captured Liège and reached the gates of Antwerp. At this time, the German logistics began to fail - there was not much fuel left, and the Allied forces blew up the logistics warehouses in the places they were about to lose after every battle.
There was not much ammunition left, and the large amount of captured Allied equipment was no different than scrap metal. And on this day, the American soldier led a group of soldiers to attack the most important arsenal on the German front line.
But at this time, a group of tanks were being repaired at this large logistics supply base. After knocking down dozens of German soldiers, the captain was covered by the firepower of the German tanks that were forcibly activated. Only broken shields and a few pieces were found afterwards.
Blue cloth, but this man and the soldiers he led successfully destroyed several anti-aircraft fire points and sent out telegrams. The subsequent indiscriminate bombing by the Allied forces regardless of casualties ultimately burned a large amount of ammunition and oil.
The German offensive has stopped, they have very little ammunition and fuel left, and there were mistakes in early command - they did not anticipate the difficulties in logistical supply, and it was a complete gamble. Now the Germans can still rely on a little bit of captured fuel.
Maneuver, but ammunition is completely out of the question - Allied bombing has cut off rail and road supplies.
The Germans were forced to retreat - it would be too late if they didn't run. A large number of tanks and armored vehicles without fuel and ammunition were abandoned and blown up. After the Allies took a breath, they also began to pursue. The Germans finally lost everything they had won and compensated.
Germany lost a total of more than 90,000 troops and more than 300 tanks. In addition to the e100 "Mammoth", the e50 "Lynx" and King Tiger, as well as some heavy tank destroyers and assault guns, relied on priority to replenish fuel.
Except for returning, all the Panthers, No. 4, medium assault guns and artillery were lost. The elite German armored forces and infantry on the Western Front had their backbones broken. The Air Force also suffered huge losses under the Allied airport bombing strategy.
A large number of rookie pilots were shot down, a large number of aircraft were blown up on the runway, and a total of more than 200 fighter jets and more than 100 bombers were lost.
Allied losses were also huge. They lost a total of 110,000 soldiers, of which more than 80,000 were American soldiers. A large number of tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery were destroyed or captured. A total of more than 1,000 tanks, armored vehicles, and 800 were lost.
Yumen artillery shot down more than 300 fighter planes and more than 50 bombers in the air, but they successfully destroyed the main force of the German army on the Western Front, and it was only a matter of time before they entered the German mainland to fight.
Fafnir has no time to care about all this. He is now fighting fiercely with the pursuing Soviet army on the border between Poland and the Soviet Union. In just 48 hours, he repelled 11 Soviet attacks, but everything was of no avail. The German army was in Belarus
In the battle with Ukraine, more than 600,000 troops and more than 1,200 tanks were lost. The entire Army Group Center had actually been defeated. Now it relied entirely on winter and the elite rear-cutting units to withstand the pursuit of the Soviet army, thus winning a victory for its own reorganization.
Time. If nothing else happens, in January 1945, they will fight the Soviet Red Army in Poland, Romania or Yugoslavia. As for the consequences? No one on the front line cares about this issue anymore...
