Chapter five hundred and ninetieth fierce battle under the capital circle
The battle in the sky has been going on fiercely. Planes are falling every second, and new planes are joining the battle group every minute. Looking up from the ground at the falling planes in the sky, it seems like the scene of the end of the world.
But at this time, the people on the ground had no intention of raising their heads to pay attention to the battle from the air, because the battle on the ground was also very fierce.
Although the performance was slightly inferior, the coalition forces still relied on their numerical advantage to launch a full-scale attack with tank troops. The Axis powers did not dare to show weakness, and a large number of M4 tanks came forward, and the two sides engaged in a tank battle.
At a distance of no more than two hundred meters, the artillerymen in the tanks on both sides fired desperately. When one of its shells hit the opponent, it would soon be hit by another shell from the enemy. In such a large range,
In the melee, the performance of the tanks was not reflected at all. All they had was a desperate spirit, exchanging casualties at an almost one-for-one ratio.
After all, the number of tanks on the Axis side was small, and they were quickly lost. The victorious coalition tanks, dragging their scarred bodies, continued to advance towards the Axis positions, keeping up with the infantry of the tanks.
He also fired fiercely with the weapons in his hands, suppressing the firepower of the Axis positions.
The Axis infantry were also stunned. They relied on the anti-tank guns on their positions to fight back. They even completely ignored the bullets that kept passing through them. They still adjusted the scale and fired artillery shells one after another.
If an artilleryman is hit, he will be pulled away quickly, and another person will quickly take up his position and continue to fire. If a cannon is blown up, the others will just drag away the dead and wounded and replace them with
A cannon continued to fire, and now everyone who could move was firing desperately. No one took the time to pay attention to the wounded who were seriously injured and unconscious.
They were about to rush into the Axis army's position, and most of the Allied tanks had been lost. The Allied infantry quickly rushed out and rushed towards the trench. Not to be outdone, the Axis soldiers also rushed towards the Allied soldiers. In this way
In the modern war, hand-to-hand combat was staged for the first time.
The soldiers on both sides had their eyes red. They only knew how to stab with bayonet rifles and did not think about defense at all. While killing the enemy, they would also be killed by the enemy. The number of corpses on both sides increased rapidly.
, was covered with the forward positions of the Axis Powers, but even so, the Axis Powers side had few people after all. In addition, the coalition tank troops used machine guns to block the Axis Powers' subsequent reinforcements, causing their strength to become increasingly weak, and soon the third
The Axis soldiers on the first line of defense were all killed and wounded, and the coalition soldiers who also suffered heavy casualties struggled to occupy their positions.
The artillery shells from both sides were flying wildly, and the bombers began to desperately attack the opponent's position. They did not care about the tail-biting attacks of the fighter jets. The soldiers of the two major military groups seemed to have entered a state of madness. They only knew how to fight non-stop. Even the famous
The Sardinian Noodle Army all showed extraordinary bravery, which was impressive.
The fierce battle lasted for five days. During these five days, fierce battles were also staged near Essen. When they learned that the coalition forces were close at hand, the Yaman Army also broke out with strong combat effectiveness and went all out.
It resisted the attacks of the Axis forces and from time to time used powerful counterattacks to destroy the attacking enemies.
When the sun rose on the sixth day, the coalition forces finally captured Dortmund, and all 170,000 Axis blocking troops were annihilated. The coalition forces also suffered heavy losses, with more than 250,000 casualties.
The victorious coalition forces had no time to clean up the battlefield and reorganize their troops. They immediately launched a new battle, attacking the Axis forces outside Essen. In the face of the strong military pressure from the Allies, General Mike frowned tightly. He knew
You will probably fail.
"Order all air forces to attack to completely defeat the opponent." Marshal Herzendorf ordered loudly, asking all the coalition air forces to attack. At this time, Rundstedt's army also came from the port of Stedam and launched a siege.
During the battle between the Axis forces, General Mike was completely surrounded.
"Your Majesty, more than 700,000 Axis troops are surrounded by our 1.5 million troops. It is estimated that a complete victory will be achieved within a week." The excited Chief of Staff Moltke walked into the hall and reported to William II.
William II, who had gray hair on his temples, jumped up as nimbly as a young man: "Great, as long as we annihilate this army, we can block the coastline again, making it impossible for the Boston army to attack. I want those New Worlds to come."
The country bumpkins know that the Western Continent belongs to our Yaman Empire."
William II waved his arms crazily, obviously in a state of extreme excitement. He waved: "Order the troops not to stop attacking until the enemy is defeated. My attack needs to be fast, because the enemy's reinforcements will also not stop."
It’s been too long to wait.”
The Allied forces launched an attack on the Axis forces from all directions. General Mike carefully dispatched the troops, tried his best to resist the pressure from all directions, led the troops to resist step by step, and bought time for the arrival of reinforcements. However, even so, the surrounded troops
The area is slowly getting smaller, Axis soldiers are also losing their lives and injuries one after another, and the heavy artillery of the Allies can already reach General Mike's underground command post.
"Send a report to the base camp. Our army will collapse in the last twenty-four hours." General Mike sighed. He had tried his best. He hadn't even slept for three days, but the disparity in troop strength meant that the troops could not deploy.
, the Axis soldiers could only silently endure the intensive enemy artillery fire and carry out a heroic resistance. The number of casualties was rising rapidly. At this time, there were less than 400,000 people able to fight, and they were besieged in a city more than 70 kilometers long.
In a small area forty kilometers wide, there was no hope of breaking out.
"Put on your weapons and follow me to the front line. We must resist to the end." General Mike did not wait for others to stop him, stepped on the broken bricks and walked out of the command post, heading towards the front line where gunfire was dense. Behind him,
The guards and staff had no choice but to follow closely.
"How is the situation?" Standing in the trench, General Mike asked, looking at Lieutenant General Patton whose face was blackened by gunpowder smoke.
"Your Excellency, Commander, our situation is very bad. If we continue like this, we will not be able to see the sun tomorrow." Patton sighed. His most elite Fifth Army has been exhausted, and the power in his hands will be later.
Reinforcements have arrived.
"The enemy is attacking again." An observer shouted in the trench to warn his companions, but soon a bullet hit his neck. The observer fell down holding his bloody neck.
