Age of Conquest Reborn

Marshal Rommel, the commander of Germany's South American Army Group, was a proud and talented general. In his heart, he could not help but want to compete with Japan's third military god, Yamamoto.

, especially after returning to China to attend a high-profile military meeting hosted by the head of state, I was somewhat uncomfortable with the head of state's strong praise of the Japanese Isoroku Yamamoto. It was very unfortunate that the Americans were reduced to two German and Japanese generals who had never met.

object of competition.

On the west coast of the United States, General Yamamoto launched a forceful and secretive attack on Chencang, and successfully landed in Chencang within one day. However, the number of enemy annihilations was not flattering. Marshal Rommel did not have so many twists and turns. What he relied on was the more than 120 men under his command.

Thousands of well-equipped, battle-hardened elite German troops, large-scale armored groups, and a powerful air force.

Although the terrain from the Mexican border to the United States is also mountainous, many places are very suitable for assaults by armored groups. The two lines of defense deployed by the Americans on the southern border are, in Marshal Rommel's view, almost paper-thin.

He is not blindly arrogant, but has sufficient confidence to back him up. He wants to beat the Americans to pieces!

The deployment of the German army is mainly divided into the following directions. On the first line, five armies plus two motorized infantry divisions form a right assault group, with Matamoros, Mexico, as the starting point for the attack. The target of the attack is

Austin and Baton Rouge in the United States.

The second route consists of three armies plus four motorized infantry divisions, forming a middle assault group, with Juarez in Mexico as the starting point for the attack. They forcefully cross the U.S.-Mexico border, the Garrabo River in Hebei Province, and capture the target:

Places like Oklahoma City and Santa Fe.

The third route consists of four armies plus five motorized infantry brigades to form a left assault group, with Nogales in Mexico as the starting point for the attack, and the targets of the attack are Phoenix and Denver in the United States.

The Third Air Force of Germany's South American Army Group has a total of more than 2,700 combat aircraft of various types, deployed evenly in three offensive directions to provide powerful air fire support for the attacking German ground forces.

Judging from Marshal Rommel's deployment, the purpose is very clear. The three-pronged army is directed towards the central part of the United States, with the sole purpose of occupying the central part of the United States. There is absolutely no intention of turning around and heading west to coordinate with the Japanese army. With this move, Rommel

I fully understood the president's intention. It was like a preliminary rehearsal for Germany and Japan to carve up the American territory after the war.

The entire United States was about to be divided into three. The Japanese occupied the western region of the United States west of Salt Lake City, and the Germans occupied the central and eastern regions of the United States east of Salt Lake City. Hitler ordered Rommel to send troops at the right time, and the Japanese army was approaching.

The Dillera Mountain line of defense fought fiercely with the US military. After the Japanese broke through the US military's defense line, the German tanks had already reached the northern border of the United States.

The German attack was fierce and rapid. The German aircraft rushed over overwhelmingly, and bombs fell like raindrops on the U.S. military positions. As soon as they were launched, the U.S. troops were stunned. On the ground, there were armored clusters composed of several of Germany's latest tanks, thousands of them.

A tank rolled up, roaring and rolling up dust. Behind the tank were a large number of German infantry.

The U.S. Naval Aviation Force deployed in the southern United States immediately took off to fight. A total of more than 5,000 combat aircraft from both sides launched a desperate fight in the open airspace of the southern United States. In terms of the number and performance of the fighter jets, the Germans had a large advantage.

After the air battle lasted for more than an hour, the US military fleet lost more than 800 fighter jets. The German army gained air supremacy at the cost of losing more than 500 fighter jets and more than 200 bombers.

On the ground, the first line of defense of the US military border was broken through by the German army in two places in less than five hours, namely in the direction of Matamoros and in the direction of Juarez. The only one was still in fierce fighting.

, which is the direction of Nogales.

After receiving the report, Marshal Rommel was speechless for a while. When he saw that it was in the direction of Nogales and had not yet broken through, he knew that the attack had not achieved the expected goal, and the bad thing happened to the Italians.

This is indeed the case. The leader of the Italian Nazi Party and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy, His Excellency Mussolini, originally sent troops to form the American Expeditionary Force with the intention of taking advantage of the German attack on the United States.

Before dispatching troops, Mussolini solemnly warned the commander of the expeditionary force, General Orozzo, "The purpose of the kingdom's dispatch of troops is not specifically to fight the Americans. To a large extent, it is to declare to the world that we, Italy,

existence, therefore, you must control the troops well, and do not take risks and advance too lightly!"

In a word, His Excellency Mussolini sent troops to the American continent just for soy sauce, and moreover, it was for cheap soy sauce. But the commander of the team, General Orozo, did not think so. This romantic and European classical knight

The temperamental Italian general has his own plan to restore the reputation of the Italian army in the war against the Americans.

Therefore, when the Italian American Expeditionary Force had just arrived in the South American continent, Marshal Rommel, out of good intentions, asked the Italian army to be responsible for protecting the security of the logistics supply line. General Orozo was very angry. What he meant in his words was, Rommel

The marshal looks down on his allies.

In desperation, Rommel couldn't afford this crime, so he had to hand over the task of attacking Phoenix to the Italian army. But on the European battlefield, he had already experienced the performance of allied troops, how could he rest assured and send a single

If the direction of attack is left to the Italians, it would be more reliable than changing the direction of attack.

Therefore, Marshal Rommel deployed two more armies to follow closely behind the Italians. If this pig-like teammate messed up the attack, the Germans would be able to take over. The five armies on the left plus

The two motorized infantry divisions are the main assault force.

Sure enough, the Italians really messed up this attack. It's not that the Italian army didn't dare to attack. They did attack and they were very brave, but they suffered a loss!

After receiving the order to launch an attack, General Orozzo, the commander of the Italian American Expeditionary Force, lined up three infantry divisions and two motorized infantry divisions to form five attack arrows, which were to be placed on the US military's defense line.

, tearing open five holes at the same time, sweeping the Americans, and winning their first victory abroad!

The idea is definitely a good one, but General Orozzo's idea is too romantic. The Italian army is not even inferior to the Bede team in terms of equipment. In terms of the number of large-caliber artillery, it is even inferior to the US military.

In terms of the quantity and quality of tanks, they cannot compare with the German army. To fight a war, you need confidence and capital.

The German bomber group led the way for the Italian army, blasting the US military positions into smoke and flames. Then, General Orozo ordered five artillery groups in the attack direction to bombard for an hour to consolidate the effect of the bombing.

The Italian artillerymen used all their strength, and the shells were thrown at them vigorously. They seemed to be very fierce, but the artillery used by the Italian army was not of sufficient caliber and not powerful enough.

Therefore, on the surface, the US military position was first subjected to indiscriminate bombardment by German bombers, and then was subjected to intensive shelling by Italian artillery. It must be on the verge of being shattered. In fact, the Italian shelling had the same effect as the previous bombing.

, far from it.

General Orozo stood on an armored command vehicle, with half of his body exposed, holding a telescope to observe the battlefield situation. When he saw that his artillery blasted the US military position into smoke, he nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.

Originally, the staff and staff were very opposed to the Commander's personal visit to the front line. They don't have a good eye for guns and cannons, but no matter what big shot you are, this General Orozo is Prime Minister Mussolini's confidant.

Once something happens in North America, everyone will be in trouble.

But General Orozo, who is quite chivalrous, has his own cuteness. "As a soldier, how can I not go to the front line in person? I am the commander, and I should work with the soldiers to welcome the American bullets!" he said.

This is what he said to his staff officers and staff who earnestly advised him to stay in the headquarters.

The artillery fire began to extend, and General Orozo ordered the troops to attack. Five divisions of Italian troops launched attacks on the US positions from their respective directions. The US soldiers hiding in the fortifications lay in the trenches in fear. First,

The bombing was followed by an artillery attack, which really stunned the US military. If a similar attack was completed by the German team, there would be no problem at all. The armored clusters and heavy artillery were enough to crush the US military's counterattack.

But it was the Italian army that was attacking. The artillery was not very powerful and there were very few tanks. What was even worse was that the Italian American Expeditionary Force, which only had a total of more than 80,000 troops, should concentrate its forces to attack the US defense line a little bit, and there was still a possibility of success.

However, General Orozo dispersed his troops into five groups. Each attacking group had more than 15,000 troops. However, the U.S. defense force on the opposite side had two divisions of more than 30,000 troops, and the casualties were not large.

, and relying on the damaged but functional fortifications, the consequences of the Italian army's attack can be imagined.

In order to show the presence of the Italian army, the attacking Italian troops waved military flags one after another, and the soldiers followed them in the charge. It was very impressive, and seemed to tell the American soldiers on the position, "We, the bravest Italian army in the world, are attacking."

Coming!"

When facing the German army, the American soldiers were still afraid from the bottom of their hearts. But when facing the Italian army, the American soldiers had no such fear at all. They had already experienced the virtues of the Italian army on the European battlefield.

The anti-tank guns and rocket launchers were used to beat the Italian soldiers hard, and after destroying the Italian tanks, the remaining Italian infantry were just a bunch of living targets. The light and heavy machine guns were fired wildly, like cutting wheat, beating the Italian soldiers to pieces.

Staggering here and there, pieces fell one by one, and then, the US military troops who had taken advantage of the situation actually organized a full-scale counterattack.
