Chapter 245

"General, our troops have taken Stavanger. Next, we will attack Haugesund and Bergen. The Sun Never Sets Empire has an infantry division in Haugesund and Bergen. There is no way they can withstand our attack! Lieutenant General Alexander, chief of staff of the Norwegian Army Group, said.

General Falkenhorst nodded:"Yes, I think so too." Although the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Gallic Kingdom landed on the Kingdom of Novi, there were many troops. However, they are too scattered, which gives us opportunities to defeat them individually. However, what really troubles us is not the armies of the Empire and the Gallic Kingdom, but the poor terrain and transportation of the Novi Kingdom."

The Norwegian Kingdom is full of fjords and the transportation facilities are very poor.

Take Stavanger and Haugesund as an example. The straight-line distance between the two places is only thirty kilometers.

However, you have to cross many fjords and then go to the sea. When Gesun launched the offensive, the troops of the Third Reich only had to travel more than two hundred kilometers. This forced the troops of the Third Reich to spend a lot of time on the road. At the same time, the logistics supply line was also stretched.

"General, it would be relatively easy if the Navy could gain control of the sea. But unfortunately, the navy currently has no way to gain sea control."Lieutenant General Alexander said

"The Navy has done its best. After all, there is a huge gap between us and the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets. There are too many debts in history. So even if we want to catch up, it is not that easy and it takes time to accumulate."General Falkenhorst saw it clearly.

Lieutenant General Alexander nodded and did not continue to dwell on this issue.

"I have already contacted the Navy. Next, the Navy will send as many warships as possible to compete with the Imperial Navy for sea control. By then, the support we will receive will be even greater. Coupled with our inherent air superiority, it will not be a big problem to eliminate the Justice League troops that landed in the Kingdom of Norway. The only trouble is that our progress needs to continue to accelerate. Your Excellency, we can resolve the battle within a month."Admiral Falkenhorst said

"Will the battle be resolved within a month? Oh, God! This is too overwhelming."Lieutenant General Alexander exclaimed

"The Empire is preparing to launch an attack on Western Europe. This is our final battle with the Justice League. At that time, we will not be able to get strong support from the navy and air force. Therefore, even if the Justice League's army cannot be eliminated within a month, their main force must be killed. The remaining few enemies will be dealt with slowly."Admiral Falkenhorst said.

Lieutenant General Alexander nodded repeatedly. He naturally knew that the upcoming large-scale decisive battle between the Third Reich and the Justice League in Western Europe was the top priority.

No need to think about it. I know that all the forces of the Third Reich will probably be devoted to the decisive battle in Western Europe.

"Part of our troops attacked Haugesund and Bergen as planned. The other part continues to the north. No matter what, we will achieve a decisive victory within a month!"Admiral Falkenhorst said

"Yes, General! Lieutenant General Alexander replied.

On August 3, the Third Reich Nove launched attacks on Haugesund and Bergen respectively.

In the attack on these two places, the Third Reich invested two entire infantry divisions. Two mechanized infantry regiments and a marine brigade.

At the same time, the Third Reich Air Force and Naval Aviation dispatched a large number of fighter planes to assist them.

Almost at every moment, there are dozens of fighter planes of various types flying The sky provided fire support for the ground forces of the Third Reich.

This allowed the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets, even if it assembled a large number of warships in an attempt to provide fire support for the army. However, it could only evacuate the battlefield as a last resort.

After all, , The Royal Navy is no longer at its peak of wealth. Once these warships suffer heavy losses under the attack of the Third Reich's fighter planes, it will seriously affect the subsequent battle.

Therefore, it is better to let the warships retreat temporarily and preserve their strength.

And This also put the ground troops that had landed at Haugesund and Bergen into a desperate situation.

Without the support of naval gunfire, they also had to face the indiscriminate bombing of the Third Reich Air Force. This As a result, the ground troops deployed by the Sun Never Sets Empire in the two places simply could not hold on. On

August 5, the Third Emperor's Novi Group Army captured Haugesund, and most of the 108th Infantry Division of the Sun Never Sets Empire Army stationed here Surrender.

The next day, the Norwegian Army of the Third Reich captured Bergen, and the 107th Infantry Division of the Imperial Army stationed here also surrendered. The

Norwegian Army of the Third Reich had almost achieved victory on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Norway. has become a decisive force.

Although, there are still as many as five infantry divisions of the Imperial Army and the Gallic Army, entrenched in the northwest and north of the Norwegian Kingdom.

With the strength of the Third Reich's Norwegian Army, it is necessary to It is not easy to clear them all out in a short period of time.

However, this can no longer affect the Third Reich Navy's ability to enter and leave the Atlantic.

Once the Third Reich Air Force and Naval Aviation, in Stavanger, Haugesund and After establishing air force bases and even submarine bases in Bergen and other places, they can protect naval warships entering and exiting the Atlantic Ocean.

Even the submarine force of the Third Reich Navy can establish caverns and supply bases in these areas. This will allow the submarine forces of the Third Reich to enter the Atlantic Ocean more conveniently without having to return home to rest.

This will make it more convenient for the Third Reich Navy to attack the maritime transportation lines of the Empire on which the sun never sets. As far as the Empire is concerned, this is not good news. It can even be said to be a disaster.

After all, once the Third Reich's submarine force and even surface warships can more conveniently and quickly invest in the maritime transportation lines against the Empire on which the sun never sets, attack.

The Imperial Navy, which never sets on the Empire, will probably have to invest more power in protecting its maritime transportation lines.

Of course, it will also have to be prepared to pay greater losses.

The purpose of the Third Reich's launch of the Nove campaign was also It can be regarded as basically achieved.

The balance of war victory has gradually tilted towards the Third Reich._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
