Chapter 828

On November 29, 1942, two infantry divisions and one armored division of the Third Reich Army landed on Guba Island.

These more than 40,000 people were deployed on the battlefield, bringing the number of troops deployed by the Third Reich to Guba Island to about 110,000. Among them, there is also an armored division equipped with 300 tanks.

For the Guba army, this was undoubtedly fatal.

You know, even with the Yingjiang Kingdom at its back, Guba's army only has dozens of old M2 light tanks.

One armored division of the Third Reich had 300 tanks, and the other two infantry divisions were each equipped with a tank battalion of 60 tanks. Even the four Marine divisions each have an amphibious tank battalion.

This made the Guba army even more unable to withstand the Third Reich's attack on the battlefield. A large number of Guba troops almost fled. A large number of cities and territories also fell under the control of the Third Reich.

Baptiste, the dictator on Guba Island, became even more panicked. He kept sending telegrams to the Eagle Country, asking for reinforcements to be dispatched as soon as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hold on.

At the same time, those who opposed Baptiste on the island of Guba also became active. Many Guba officials and even military generals contacted the Third Reich and wanted to change their ways.

This makes the situation on Guba Island even more unfavorable to Yingjiang Country.

The war preparation process of Yingjiang Country had to be accelerated again.

On the afternoon of November 29, the main fleet of the Eagle Navy had assembled, all gathered in Charleston, South Carolina.

Originally, Norfolk Naval Base was the homeport of the Atlantic Fleet. However, when the entire Northeast was under indiscriminate bombing by the Third Reich Air Force, in order to avoid the attacks of the Third Reich Air Force, the Eagle Navy warships headed south one after another.

Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Harold Stark also flew to Charleston. With the generals of the fleet, we have final discussions on the situation of going to war.

"Gentlemen, according to the latest information we have obtained, the Navy of the Third Reich is currently operating in the waters east of the Greater Andrés Islands. It is about three hundred kilometers away from the Turks and Caicos Islands. However, because their military operations on Guba Island went smoothly. Little support from carrier-based aircraft is required. Therefore, the Third Reich Navy does not need to be too far from Guba Island. At the same time, in order to prepare for our attack, their main naval fleet will most likely go deep into the Atlantic Ocean."Admiral Harold Stark

"Does the Third Reich Navy still have a squadron near Guba Island? Can we dispatch carrier-based aircraft to surround them first and get rid of them? In this case, it will also be beneficial to our next battle. Admiral Chest Nimitz suggested.

The strength of the Third Reich Navy is too strong. If some warships of the Third Reich Navy can be killed first, this will not only weaken the strength of the Third Reich Navy. At the same time, for Eagle Sauce It is undoubtedly a great improvement for the morale of the Imperial Navy. After all, many officers and soldiers of the Imperial Navy are full of fear of fighting against the Third Reich Navy. Not to mention ordinary sailors, even officers and even Generals all have this mentality. It would be great if they could win a decisive battle with the Third Reich Navy.

Admiral Harold Stark shook his head:"There is currently no The battleship of the Third Reich Navy was discovered near Guba Island. According to reconnaissance, only some light cruisers and destroyers are operating in the waters near Guba Island."

In fact, the eight P-class battleships of the 4th Battleship Group of the Third Reich Navy are hiding in the southern waters of Guba Island.

However, the sea area is too large. There are no reconnaissance satellites, and there are no maritime reconnaissance aircraft and anti-submarine patrols. Without aircraft and other weapons, it is undoubtedly very difficult to find a fleet on the vast sea.

"If this is the case, then we can only engage in a decisive battle with the main fleet of the Third Reich Navy."Admiral Chest Nimitz was very sorry.

"Now we have no other choice but to engage in a decisive battle with the Third Reich Navy. Fortunately, although our strength is weaker than the Third Reich Navy. However, we are not completely powerless to fight back. If we are lucky, it is entirely possible to defeat the Third Reich Navy."Admiral Harold Stark said.

The other naval admirals nodded repeatedly.

Although they were afraid of the Third Reich Navy, they had been forced to the point of no retreat, and they could only fight hard.

"This time, the main force of the fleet will all attack. Admiral Royal Ingersoll was appointed fleet commander. And is responsible for commanding the battleship formation. General Chest Nimitz is responsible for commanding the aircraft carrier formation. The future of the country and the nation already depends on you. So I hope you two can work together to win this battle!"Admiral Harold Stark said.

Admiral Royal Ingersoll is the commander of the Atlantic Fleet, and there is no problem with him commanding the fleet.

Admiral Chelsea Nimitz is the commander of the Pacific Fleet, Although they suffered a disastrous defeat on the Pacific battlefield, he and the generals of the Pacific Fleet are definitely the generals with the most experience in actual combat. At the same time, they are also the generals with the most experience in using aircraft carriers in the Navy of the Eagle Country. Therefore, Harold Stark The admiral decided to hand over the aircraft carrier formation to Admiral Chest Nimitz.

The Eagle Navy's aircraft carrier formation includes 12 Essex-class aircraft carriers and 22 Borg-class escort aircraft carriers.

Essex The Sri Lanka-class aircraft carrier can carry one hundred carrier-based aircraft, and the Borg-class escort aircraft carrier can carry 24 carrier-based aircraft. The total number of carrier-based aircraft in the entire aircraft carrier formation can reach more than 1,700. This is undoubtedly very powerful. A force.

Even if the Third Reich Navy is stronger, it is not easy to eat the Eagle Navy. Especially if you want to eat the Eagle Navy intact, it is even more impossible.

If the navy of the Eagle Kingdom is more lucky, it is not impossible to fight back and turn defeat into victory.

"General, we will do our best to win this battle!"Admiral Royal Ingersoll looked determined.

"Your Excellency, General, God bless the Navy and the Eagle Country!"Admiral Chest Nimitz also said.

That evening, the Eagle Navy left the Charleston naval port and sailed into the vast Atlantic Ocean.

The decisive battle between the Eagle Navy and the Third Reich Navy began. prelude.
