Chapter 1726 Appetite

"Your Excellency, Marshal, the remnants of the 5th U.S. Army are fleeing south and are expected to retreat to Portland. The 6th U.S. Army failed to escape, and was wiped out by the 3rd and 14th U.S. Army." Karl Schie Lt. Gen. Lt. reported.

Marshal Guderian nodded: "The main force of the 5th U.S. Army has been wiped out, and the remaining remnants are no longer a concern. The 6th U.S. Army has also been wiped out. Then, the U.S. military has no more troops in the south of the St. Croix River." .Most importantly, their remaining eight armies in Maine are surrounded by the Appalachians and us."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Marshal." Lieutenant General Carl Hilpert nodded.

"Report to Your Excellency, Commander, and ask our main force to go north and wipe out the eight US armies in Maine!" Marshal Guderian said.

The U.S. military has deployed ten group armies in Maine. Moreover, they are all the main group army. If the German army can wipe out all the ten armies of the US army in one fell swoop in this battle. Then the U.S. military will be devastated in the morning. Although the U.S. military has deployed 25 group armies and 5 million troops in the Northeast of the United States. But the destruction of two million elites is still unbearable for the U.S. military. As long as Army Group A and Army Group C also win on the other two battlefields. Then, the U.S. military is completely finished.

New Glasgow, German North American Theater Command. Marshal Manstein, who is also the commander of the North American theater, has received the good news from the front line.

"Very well, Army Group B fought very beautifully in this battle. It easily killed the two main American armies. Moreover, it also cut off the retreat of the two and eight American armies. This created an excellent situation for us. What an opportunity!" Marshal Manstein's face was full of smiles.

He also hoped that the German Army Group B could win a decisive victory on the Maine battlefield. In that case, the entire North American battlefield can be regarded as the overall situation has been settled.

"Send a telegram to Army Group B, let the 3rd Army go south along the coastline, pursue the remnants of the U.S. enemy, and at the same time prevent the U.S. reinforcements from entering Maine. The 8th Army and the 13th Army, turn around and attack northwest." Manstein The Marshal ordered.

After annihilating the 5th and 6th U.S. Army, Marshal Manstein has decided to eat up the remaining 8 U.S. armies.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander."

"Also, get the 14th Army of Army Group B, the 15th Army, ready to attack. The 1st Army Group and the 2nd Army Group of the Army of England and Wales, assisting Army Group B in launching the attack. This time, we will be hard Bite the Americans." Marshal Manstein ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." The adjutant immediately went to convey the order.

On the border between Maine in the United States and New Brunswick in Canada, there are large numbers of American and German troops. When the U.S. Fifth Army and Sixth Army were in a disadvantageous situation, the U.S. General Staff ordered the U.S. Eighth Army and Eleventh Army to hand over the defense line to other U.S. troops and go south to reinforce the U.S. Fifth Army and Sixth Army.

But unfortunately, they were a step too late. Before they arrived, the US Fifth Army and Sixth Army had been wiped out. This not only made the two U.S. armies lose their rescue targets, but also made them the targets of German attacks in turn.

On April 15, the German 8th Army and 13th Army came north to attack the U.S. Army. The three armored divisions and six mechanized infantry divisions of the two armies formed a powerful torrent of steel.

The U.S. Eighth Army was the first to bear the brunt and became the target of the German attack. Although the U.S. Army Staff has issued an order to let the U.S. Eighth Army stand in place and stand by for help. However, it is very difficult to say how long they can last under the fierce attack of the German armored forces.

At the same time, the German 14th and 15th Armies, also assisted by the Army of England and Wales, began to attack. Although the combat power of the English and Welsh Army is very limited, they can still hold down the US military. The attack power of the US 14th and 15th armies is not weak, making it impossible for the US military to take it lightly.

The U.S. troops in Maine fell into crisis for a while. They are almost in the encirclement of the German army. Unless it is over the Appalachian Mountains, there is no escape at all.

However, the traffic conditions in the Appalachian Mountains are not good. Although there are roads, the mountain roads are rugged and difficult for large troops to march. Not to mention, the German Army Group A has already begun to attack Vermont in the United States. From this direction, the U.S. military still cannot escape.

The U.S. Army General Staff, the battle situation in Maine suddenly became like this, completely beyond everyone's expectations. Admiral Marshall's brows were already tightly knit together.

"General, the Germans have a very big appetite! They clearly want to eat all our troops in Maine in one fell swoop." Major General Eisenhower said.

Admiral Marshall nodded: "Once the Germans' strategic goals are achieved, our losses will be great."

"General, in any case, the German conspiracy cannot be achieved. We must rescue the troops in Maine." Deputy Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Joseph McNerney said.

"But where can we draw troops to reinforce Maine?" Admiral Marshall said, frowning.

The German offensive in Vermont has already begun, and the US military also needs to deploy heavy troops in this direction. In addition, the Great Lakes region also needs to strengthen the deployment of troops. Even though the U.S. military has millions of troops, it is still stretched.

"General, no matter what, we cannot sit back and watch the Germans surround and wipe out our troops in Maine. Otherwise, this battle will not be fought." Major General Eisenhower said.

Admiral Marshall nodded, and after deliberation, the U.S. military ordered the 24th Army and the 25th Army to go north to reinforce Maine.

It's just that the German 3rd Army is already heading south. It is not so easy for the reinforcements of the two armies of the US military to reinforce the US troops in Maine. They must break through the interception of the German army.

Moreover, the German siege of the American troops in Maine had begun. It is also very difficult for the US military to reinforce them in a short period of time. Perhaps, the U.S. military has been surrounded and annihilated by the Germans before any reinforcements arrive.
