After the Arab Army and the African Corps continued to pour cloud explosive bombs on the US military positions for almost free, causing huge casualties, Eisenhower had no choice but to take the initiative, but his desperate efforts failed to win in the field.
The Algerian-German coalition forces, which were more numerous and had braver and better soldiers, finally had to flee North Africa in embarrassment with only a few hundred thousand remaining defeated soldiers under the cover of naval artillery fire.
As for Montgomery, who was the first to use turtle tactics, he saw the opportunity even earlier. When Krim's army began to use cloud bombs in large quantities and captured many British positions, Montgomery realized that this North African strategy had failed again.
, started preparations for retreat before saying hello to Eisenhower, once again effectively sacrificing the U.S. military and reducing the losses of the British Commonwealth troops...
The failure of the North African offensive again was undoubtedly a big blow to the allies, but in this unfavorable situation, the unparalleled strength of the United States was increasingly reflected. During the North African War, the U.S. military not only seized the opportunity due to Hainan Airlines heading south
This resulted in the weakening of Germany's domestic air defense forces, which increased the intensity of strategic bombing and launched continuous offensives against the Japanese in the Pacific battlefield...
By the end of 1945, the U.S. military had successfully recaptured the entire Polynesian Islands from the Japanese, regained control of nearly half of the Pacific, and directed its troops toward Samoa and Fiji. In this Polynesian battle, which lasted for several months,
, the U.S. military not only gave full play to the flexible advantages of carrier-based aviation, but also successfully suppressed the scattered land-based fleets deployed by the Japanese army. It also fully utilized the huge number of its auxiliary ships to provide the landing force with unprecedentedly powerful firepower.
support.
In fact, because the barrel life of the large-caliber cannon is too short and the cost is high, strictly speaking, the actual effect of the battleship's shore attack is not as good as that of the cruiser or even the destroyer. It is just that the psychological deterrence is particularly great, and the Japanese main fleet no longer has
If they dared to attack lightly, the firepower of more than a hundred U.S. cruisers and destroyers could be unleashed unscrupulously, bringing catastrophe to the Japanese troops guarding the island...
After capturing some islands, the US military built countless field airports at an incredible speed and quickly mobilized a large number of land-based aircraft to transfer. Soon, it completely dominated this vast airspace. It completely seized control of the sea and air.
Finally, the US ground forces were able to fight in the battlefield environment they were most accustomed to. Therefore, they performed better than ever.
During the entire Polynesian War, as many as 200,000 Japanese soldiers were killed or missing, 1,684 aircraft were shot down or destroyed, and 21 ships were sunk or captured, while the US military suffered only more than 60,000 casualties.
, losing 562 aircraft and 7 ships. Moreover, such a disparity in exchange ratio still made the Japanese army extremely tenacious, so that the number of surrenders and prisoners was reduced.
It was achieved with less than 2,000 people in total. This brilliant victory fully demonstrated the disparity in strength between the United States and Japan. There was even more joy in the United States. In the eyes of many people, defeating Japan has already
There was no suspense except that when Roosevelt saw the dormant dragon to the west of Japan on the world map, he felt a little uneasy...
While actively participating in the war, the United States also provided an astonishing amount of material assistance to the Soviet Union, Britain and other allies. Among them, the British shipbuilding industry benefited the most. Even though the degree of damage in this time and space was far greater than that of the same period in history, the strong support from the United States
By the end of 1945, the monthly output of British warships and merchant ships had reached 14 and 13 times that of the United States respectively, thus sharing the pressure of the United States to a large extent.
With the assistance of the United States, the Soviet Union also greatly accelerated the industrial reconstruction of the newly recovered lands, especially the two large oil fields and the supporting oil refining industry. This in turn greatly reduced the pressure on American aid, forming a virtuous cycle. In addition, the dawn of victory
After the emergence of the Axis Powers, the support of the people of the Allied countries for the government became higher and higher, allowing the governments of various countries to use more power to deal with the Axis powers. This is also a virtuous cycle.
The situation in the Axis camp is exactly the opposite. As the war situation worsens, the anti-war sentiment of the people in various countries is increasing day by day, forcing the government to invest more power to stabilize its rule. As a result, the power that can be invested in the battlefield is relatively reduced, and
This resulted in an even tighter situation on the front lines, creating a vicious cycle.
Relatively speaking, the situation in a few countries such as Japan, where the people are hardworking and highly obedient, and the Arab Federation, which is supported by religious ideas, is not bad. The German Nazi government, which came to power by deceiving the people to gain support, and its slave countries with deep domestic conflicts
The situation was much more difficult. The three Nordic governments that joined the Axis Powers in order to fight against the Soviet Union also began to regret that they had mistakenly joined this pirate ship. This feeling became unprecedentedly strong after the Soviet counterattack in the autumn of 1945.

Although the granary of Ukraine is extremely important to the Soviet Union, the German army has built a solid defense line in eastern Ukraine. With the Soviet army's large-scale supply reserves recently consumed, it may be difficult to gnaw away. Therefore, the Soviet high command decided to mobilize the main force
Go back to the middle road,
Seize the weakness that the enemy troops currently invading the Soviet Union are concentrated on the northern and southern fronts, but the center line is relatively empty, use a quick and powerful attack to recapture Moscow, the enemy's capital, which fell to the enemy, and at the same time separate the enemy's two main forces, the north and the south, to prepare for the future
Each annihilation creates favorable conditions.
Undoubtedly, this is a very bold decision. Although a central breakthrough can split the enemy into two, it also means that the enemy will attack from both sides. However, the Moscow area is the most convenient area in the Soviet Union, so I chose to break through here.
It can reduce the negative impact of the Soviet army's insufficient logistics capabilities to a great extent, and the Soviet army chooses its attack timing very well...
After the first snowfall in Moscow in 1945, the Soviet Union's million-strong Red Army unexpectedly launched a full-scale counterattack in the center. At this time, there were only more than 100,000 German troops stationed in Moscow, and they were not elite troops. Even with the addition of servant troops, even
It's a puppet army, and its total strength is less than
300,000 people. As a result, less than ten days after the battle started, Moscow returned to the hands of the Soviet Union. And when the German army reacted and prepared to attack from the north and south to destroy this group of Soviet Red Army, thereby breaking the Soviet Union's delusion in one fell swoop, the winter in Moscow
Already coming quietly...
As a result, although the German army achieved some victories in the early stages of the counterattack, as the climate continued to get colder, the German army's offensive capabilities continued to weaken. In addition, most of the servant army cannon fodder had returned home to fight the fire. Only a limited number of Poland, Slovakia and
The Hungarian army was available, which resulted in excessive losses of the German army in the early stages of the battle. When it came time to deal a fatal blow to the Soviet army, the exhausted German army was no longer able to launch a full-scale attack... (To be continued...)
