Chapter 1698 Panic

The Germans suddenly launched a landing operation on Port Elgin and captured the port in just one hour. Even Sackville, 20 kilometers away, was captured two hours later. Such a speed is completely beyond the imagination of the US and British coalition forces. At the same time, the military operation of the German army this time was completely beyond the imagination of the US and British coalition forces.

New Glasgow, Lieutenant General Omar Bradley, commander of the US First Army, Lieutenant General Lloyd Fredendell, commander of the Second Army, and Lieutenant General Harold Alexander of the British Army and Gerald Lieutenant General De Temple is discussing the next combat plan.

The troops originally deployed by the British Army on the Nova Scotia peninsula are becoming the Ninth Army of the British Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Harold Alexander. Reinforcements from New Brunswick formed the British Tenth Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Temple of Girard. It can be said that on the Nova Scotia peninsula, the US-British coalition forces are completely strong.

"Gentlemen, the Germans are frantically sending additional troops to the Nova Scotia Peninsula. According to the information we have obtained, their 1st Army has completely crossed the Canso Strait and landed on the Nova Scotia Peninsula. The German army The 10th Army will be the second army to land on the Nova Scotia peninsula. Even, they will continue to send more troops to the Nova Scotia peninsula. We can't let the Germans be so unscrupulous again We have sent troops to the Nova Scotia peninsula. In that case, we will gradually lose our advantage. Therefore, we should take advantage of the opportunity to attack the German army before the main force of the German army has landed on the Nova Scotia peninsula, and defeat them in one fell swoop." Omar Lieutenant General Bradley suggested.

"Yes, with our current strength, if we attack with all our strength, it is entirely possible to defeat the German army." Lieutenant General Lloyd Fredendall immediately echoed.

But Harold Alexander Lieutenant General and Gerald Temple Lieutenant General did not answer immediately. Before the US 1st Army was attacked by the German 1st Army, it suffered heavy losses. Now, continue to attack, can they have a chance of winning?

"The Germans are well prepared on the southern shore of the Canso Strait. At the same time, they can receive a lot of support from the sea and the air. Under such circumstances, if we take the initiative to attack, it may be difficult to defeat the Germans, and we will suffer a lot of losses." Lieutenant General Hadro Alexander said with some concern.

"Yes, if you want to fight the Germans, it is best to stay away from the coast. In this case, their firepower advantage will be greatly reduced." Lieutenant General Gerald Temple also said.

"Gentlemen, the Germans' superiority in firepower is indeed very strong. However, if we continue to wait, we will only watch helplessly as the Germans continue to increase their troops to the Nova Scotia peninsula. They can be transported by sea, a steady stream Send more troops to the Nova Scotia peninsula. And we, subject to the influence of the weather, can no longer continue to increase our troops. At that time, we will not have the slightest advantage." Lieutenant General Omar Bradley said .

Lieutenant Generals Harold Alexander and Gerald Temple were silent.

Indeed, if the German army continues to increase its troops to the Nova Scotia Peninsula, it may be difficult for them to resist the German attack. At that time, it can only be crushed by the German army with a greater advantage.

"Gentlemen, we must take the initiative. Only in this way can we break the deadlock and win." Lieutenant General Omar Bradley continued.

But at this moment, Major General Thomas opened the door and walked in.

"Report, General. The Germans raided Port Elgin. Now, Port Elgin has fallen." Major General Thomas said with a look of panic.

"What? Port Elgin has fallen?" Several lieutenant generals were shocked. They are very familiar with the map of the Nova Scotia peninsula. Everyone is very clear about the consequences of Port Elgin falling into the hands of the Germans.

"Asshole, the Germans chose to land at Port Elgin, are they trying to eat us all?"

"Hmph! The Germans have such a good appetite."

"No matter what, we must immediately organize our troops to retake Port Elgin. Otherwise, not only will our rear be threatened, but our supplies will also be cut off. At that time, without supplies, what can we do to fight The Germans?" Lieutenant General Omar Bradley said.

The other three lieutenant generals nodded again and again.

Therefore, the important task of counterattacking Port Elgin fell on the 2nd Army. The US military will deploy the 2nd Armored Division, 11th Mechanized Infantry Division, 14th Infantry Division and 15th Infantry Division of the US Army's 2nd Army to attack Port Elgin. In one fell swoop, the German army that landed was eliminated.

However, when they had just reached an agreement, a new battle report came.

The Germans captured Sackville. And, a large number of German troops began to land, building a line of defense between Sackville and Port Elgin.

It can be seen that this time the German army made up its mind to eat up all the American and British coalition forces gathered on the Nova Scotia peninsula.

"God! This is obviously a long-planned action by the Germans. Otherwise, how could they have captured Port Elgin and the Nova Scotia Peninsula so quickly? Now, they have begun to build a defense line, obviously wanting to They will eat us all." Lieutenant General Harold Alexander exclaimed.

"General Fredendell, we can't delay any longer, launch a counterattack immediately. Otherwise, we will all die here." Lieutenant General Omar Bradley said.

Lieutenant General Lloyd Fredendall nodded and immediately ordered the army to attack.

It's just that it will take time for the 2nd Army to rush to Port Elgin to launch an attack. At the same time, the German Air Force and Navy also dispatched a large number of planes to bomb them, delaying their time.

The 4th Army of the German Army took advantage of this opportunity to step up its landing. Try to land more troops in the shortest possible time and build a stronger defense line to withstand the counterattack of the US and British coalition forces.

At the same time, the news that the German army landed in Port Elgin and cut off the connection between the US and British coalition forces on the Nova Scotia Peninsula and the North American continent was also learned by the US and British governments and military. This also quickly caused an uproar. Everyone knows that the hundreds of thousands of American and British coalition forces deployed on the Nova Scotia peninsula may be in danger this time. If they are not careful, they will be eaten by the Germans in no time. The United States and Britain also began to actively think of ways to rescue these troops.
