Chapter 1700: Destroyed across the board

New Glasgow, originally the headquarters of the American and British coalition forces on the Nova Scotia peninsula. But now the city has been captured by the German army. What used to be a beautiful seaside city has now become a ruin.

The remnants of the US 1st Army and 2nd Army originally attempted to resist here. However, under the fierce attack of the German army with absolute superiority, they only persisted for two days, and surrendered to the German army because of heavy losses, no supplies, and the plight of the troops running out of ammunition and food.

U.S. First Army Commander Lieutenant General Omar Bradley, on behalf of the U.S.-British Allied Forces, handed over his gun to Marshal Bromberg, commander of the German First Army Group.

In this battle of the Nova Scotia peninsula, there were more than 700,000 American and British coalition forces, and more than 200,000 casualties. The rest went into the German prisoner-of-war camps. There are also some soldiers of the American and British coalition forces trying to escape to the United States across the Bay of Fundy. However, under the resistance of the German army, it failed. Instead, many people froze to death and drowned in the Bay of Fundy.

After the German army completely captured the Nova Scotia Peninsula, it can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold on the North American continent. Next, the German army can continuously send troops to the North American continent. After all, the German army has now gained command of the sea, and can support millions of people fighting on the North American continent through powerful maritime transportation.

Army Group B and Army Group C of the German Army will also go to the North American continent to fight one after another. In addition, the vast protectorate and vassal states of Germany will also send troops to assist the German army in combat. This indicates that the German army's attack on the North American continent has entered the most critical moment.

"Gentlemen, winning the Nova Scotia peninsula is just the first battle we won on the North American continent. His Majesty the Emperor is very satisfied with our victory, and personally sent a telegram of commendation!" Bu Marshal Romberg smiled.

The German generals who participated in this meeting also had joyful expressions on their faces. No matter at what time, it is a supreme honor for them to be rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor. Even, when getting promoted in the future, it will become a kind of qualification.

"However, although we have won the Nova Scotia Peninsula. However, this is only the beginning. Next, we need to continue to attack and further expand our advantages." Marshal Bromberg Then he said.

The generals all nodded.

Although the German army wiped out 700,000 American and British coalition forces in this battle, there is still a long way to go before completely defeating the United States and Britain. Therefore, they need to continue to win. Only in this way will it be possible to win the final victory.

"Army Group B has already started boarding, and will soon arrive on the North American continent. I hope that before Army Group B arrives, we can win another victory, invade New Brunswick in one fell swoop, and eliminate the entrenched American and British forces out there!" Marshal Bromberg said.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, this is completely feasible. Although the U.S. military still has two armies in New Brunswick, and the British still have hundreds of thousands of people. However, their morale is at a time when their morale is low. If we launch an offensive , the possibility of defeating them is very high." The commander of the 4th Army, General William Keitel, said.

Several other army commanders also agreed. In their view, the German army is now in a completely superior position, and if they continue to attack, there will be no problem in defeating the US-British coalition forces.

The biggest trouble may not be the resistance of the US and British coalition forces, but the bad weather.

However, the German offensive was always carried out not far from the coast. In this case, at least the supply of troops can be guaranteed.

On December 26, just after Christmas, the German army launched another offensive.

4th Army, 1st Army, launches an offensive from Nova Scotia to New Brunswick. Although the fighting on the Nova Scotia peninsula was very unfavorable, the US and British coalition forces attempted to build a strong defense line in eastern New Brunswick to resist the German attack. But in the icy environment, how strong can they build fortifications?

The German army preparing to charge launched an attack with two armored divisions and four mechanized infantry divisions as the main force. More than a thousand tanks and a large number of armored vehicles formed a torrent of steel and rushed towards the positions of the US and British coalition forces.

The German Air Force and Navy even dispatched a large number of fighters to assist in the battle.

The US and British coalition forces also knew that this battle was of great importance. Therefore, the U.S. Army Air Force also dispatched a large number of fighters in an attempt to provide air cover for ground forces. A fierce air battle broke out between the two sides, but in the end the U.S. Army Air Force was still suppressed. Not only did it lose a large number of fighters, but it also failed to prevent the German Air Force and Navy's carrier-based aircraft from bombing the U.S. military.

On the 27th, the German armored forces tore through the U.S. defense line and launched an attack on the depths of the U.S. military.

At the same time, the German 10th Army also participated in the attack. The 26th Army, with the assistance of the Marine Corps, landed on the northern coast of New Brunswick.

The German army invested in the US-British coalition forces that were attacking New Brunswick in 4 armies with more than 800,000 people.

Under the fierce attack of the German army, the American and British coalition forces retreated steadily.

While retreating, something very interesting happened. That is, when the US military retreated, they all retreated southward, attempting to retreat along the Bay of Fundy to Maine in the northeastern United States. The British army retreated northward, attempting to retreat to Quebec along the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

This caused the US and British coalition forces to separate and fight on their own. It made them even more unable to resist the German attack in battle.

It can be said that the German army has already won the battle of New Brunswick. Hundreds of thousands of American and British coalition forces were defeated across the board.

The US 3rd Army and 4th Army retreated back to Maine after suffering heavy losses. At the same time, the U.S. Army urgently mobilized a large number of troops to deploy defenses in Maine to prevent the German army from attacking the U.S. territory.

The British army retreated to Quebec and deployed defenses across the Appalachian Mountains to prevent the Germans from entering Quebec.

But in fact, the strategic goals of the German 1st Army Group have all been completed by this moment. They were not ready to attack again until the follow-up Army Groups B and C arrived. On the one hand, it is naturally due to insufficient troops, and on the other hand, it is the weather problem. In this world of ice and snow, if the front is stretched too long, it will also pose a fatal threat to the German army.
