Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 3187 The German army appeared?

Yang Ketian was transferred from the Independent Division to the Deputy Director of the General Staff Office, and then to the East Point Army as the Chief of Staff. His military rank was also promoted to Major General. He was a man who had gone through many storms. There were few things that made him nervous on his face and on his feet.

Hurry.

Therefore, when he saw Yang Ketian walking in nervously, Liu Tiehan muttered that the battlefield was already under his control. Logically speaking, there should be no unexpected changes. Before Yang Ketian could speak, he asked: "Ketian, the battlefield

The situation has changed, is it the Italian army or the Japanese army?"

"None of them!" Yang Ketian shook his head and said.

Liu Tiehan was not very satisfied and said: "What is that about? You look nervous? If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Yang Ketian grinned, knowing that he had lost his composure, and said solemnly: "Deputy division commander, our scouts reported that many German troops were found on a mountain peak just ten kilometers away from the battlefield in Lewiston, east of Yakima.

The officers and their large number of guards were in a position overlooking the battlefield. Because the Germans were involved, our people did not dare to act rashly and immediately reported it to the headquarters!"

"We are having a lively fight with the Italians and Japanese. At this time, German troops appeared on the edge of the battlefield. The situation is very complicated. Do you think the Germans have stepped in to help the Japanese and Italians deal with us?

mean?"

"Germans?" Liu Tiehan was also surprised. He was indeed surprised. Whether the Germans came to the bustling battlefield intentionally or for other reasons, he couldn't judge for the time being. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Other than that

, did the scouts discover that a large number of German troops were heading towards Yakima?"

"That's not true! Our scouts were worried. They specifically conducted reconnaissance within fifty kilometers of the location where the Germans were found. No large German troops were found." Yang Ketian replied succinctly, out of the caution and meticulousness of the staff. He continued.

By the time of the report, he had already understood the situation.

Liu Tiehan's brows furrowed slightly. The appearance of the Germans at the edge of the battlefield was indeed a mystery. However, he was not an indecisive person. Moreover, he also knew that before the East Point troops entered the North American continent, the division commander had already contacted

The Germans have conducted relevant communications. Presumably the Germans will not interfere.

Thinking of this, Liu Tiehan said: "Ignore him, let's fight our own, but we can't defeat the sky. He immediately ordered the troops, especially the troops who were encircling and annihilating the 131st Division of the Japanese Army, to fight thoroughly to prevent the Japanese troops from slipping through the net."

The remaining defeated troops will run to the Germans. This will be troublesome, and the same will be true for the Italian army!"

On the battlefield in the northwest United States, China, Japan and Italy were divided into two camps, fighting each other. The fight was filled with smoke. In Lewiston, east of Yakima, the commander of the 53rd Army of the Third Army of the German Army Group South America, Stephen

Lieutenant General Si was taking several of his division and brigade commanders as well as all the senior military staff to climb Mount Berg, which is more than a thousand meters above sea level. He set up high-powered telescopes and watched the battle with the attitude of a bystander.

.

The area where the 53rd Army was stationed happened to be on the east side of the Yakima battlefield. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from China, Japan and Italy were fighting, and the gunfire was roaring. Lieutenant Commander Stephens, who was only a few dozen kilometers away from the battlefield.

The general is an officer with a professional soldier background, so naturally he cannot turn a deaf ear.

Moreover, Lieutenant General Stephens also wanted to see whether the Chinese Independent Division, which in the eyes of the Führer could be compared with the German Third Reich's troops, had combat effectiveness when facing the enemy on the battlefield.

Is it as powerful as the head of state said?

This has nothing to do with political stance or alliance agreements. It is purely due to the professional nature of soldiers or curiosity. Moreover, Marshal Rommel, commander of the Army Group, has repeatedly ordered that the German troops stationed on both sides of the Dilera Mountains should

You will never be allowed to participate in the war between the Chinese Army and the Italian and Japanese armies, no matter what the reason is. This is an order personally issued by the Head of State to your army group.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Stephens summoned the deployment and brought the officers here in the name of battlefield observation. At this time, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning, and the East Point troops attacked the Japanese 131st Division.

The battle of division and siege is reaching a critical juncture.

"Gentlemen, on the battlefield in front of us, there should be two division-sized troops of the Chinese Communist Party, equipped with three tank brigades of armored assault troops, fighting to divide and encircle Japan's one division-sized troops. We have already

After watching it for a while, I wonder what you gentlemen think?" Lieutenant General Stephens left the high-powered telescope and asked his division commanders with a smile.

A German division commander thought for a moment and replied: "Mr. Commander, it is undeniable that both the Chinese Army soldiers and the Japanese army soldiers are very powerful in Asia. The soldiers are well-trained.

They have a lot of fighting will and spirit of sacrifice, and their individual combat effectiveness even exceeds that of American soldiers, especially the squadron's infantry-tank coordination tactics and the use of armored group assault tactics is simply astonishing!"

"However, there is no suspense in this battle. The Japanese army lacks tanks and heavy weapons, and its troops are at a disadvantage. It is only a matter of time before the entire army is annihilated. According to my personal judgment, the battle will end around dusk!"

Lieutenant General Stephens nodded repeatedly to express his agreement with his subordinates' statement. Then, he turned his eyes to Major General Cottle, commander of the Army's Armored Division, and said: "Major General Cottle, I have carefully observed that the Chinese ** team was engaged in armored assault.

The use of the cluster is quite similar to that of our German army. I wonder what you, the commander of the armored division, think of it?"

Major General Cotter, who was dressed in a German armored uniform, had a cold face. When the commander asked him, he answered mechanically: "Mr. Commander, it's not surprising. The founder of the Chinese Independent Division Armored Corps is called Battelle, with the rank of lieutenant general.

He is an old friend of the Führer and the younger brother of General Tang Qiuli, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission of the Chinese Government!"

"Battle also has another identity. He graduated from the Armored Command Department of the Berlin Military Academy in Germany. When Germany launched the war to liberate the European continent, he served as the division commander of the First Army Group's 'Lightning' Armored Assault Division. He made many military exploits and is still in the army.

During the battle to encircle and annihilate the British and French coalition forces at Dunkirk, he commanded an armored division and launched an assault on hundreds of thousands of British and French soldiers, ignoring the orders of the then Air Force Commander-in-Chief Göring and His Excellency the Head of State!"

"It was precisely because of Battelle's decisive actions that he smashed the British and French retreat and wiped out hundreds of thousands of British and French allied soldiers. After the war, he received a commendation from the head of state, received an Iron Cross, and was promoted to major general.

He was the only foreign general among the German Army at that time, so the armored group assault tactics of the Chinese Army were no stranger to us!"

Major General Cottle talked eloquently and explained the problem in a clear and logical manner. The German officers, including Lieutenant General Stephens, were quite surprised. However, they were very curious about how well he knew the Chinese named Battle.

Major General Cottle saw everyone's doubts and explained calmly: "Bartelle was once a disciple of General Guderian. It happened that I was also a student of the general. I learned this from the general's mouth. General Guderian was very

Appreciate Battle and call him a rare armored warfare wizard!"

Everyone suddenly realized who Guderian was. He was so famous. He was the father of the armored forces of the German Army. He created the theory of blitzkrieg and practiced it on the battlefield, making the German steel torrent sweep across the European continent invincibly. He was the German Army.

An iconic figure, he called the Chinese Battelle an armored warfare wizard. It is not surprising to see the shadow of German armored warfare on the North American battlefield!

Under the fierce attack of the East Point troops, the commander of the Hengshan Division, who was on the verge of despair, did not know that on a mountain peak dozens of kilometers away from his command post, more than a dozen senior members of the Allied German Army were

The officer was watching with a bystander's attitude as more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers under his command were wiped out by the squadron. Otherwise, they would have broken through in this direction even if they had risked their lives.

The East Point troops' battle to encircle and annihilate the 131st North American Japanese Division started earlier and faster than the Germans expected. By about three o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army had been completely wiped out, and the commander of the Yokoyama Division was desperate.

of

Under such circumstances, he committed suicide by caesarean section. Major General Asano, the chief of staff of the division, and dozens of senior officers also committed suicide. The entire Japanese 131st Division was wiped out. Only a few of the more than 20,000 soldiers were captured, and the rest were shot dead.

.

After the encirclement and annihilation battle against the Japanese troops on the right wing of Yakima, in accordance with Liu Tiehan's order, the East Point troops immediately made a sudden advance towards Salem. At the same time, the follow-up troops of the East Point, about 200,000 people, also

Like a tide, it crossed Everett on the northwest border of the United States to Yakima, the breach of the Spokane Line of Defense, and rushed towards Salem and the Fifth Army of the Italian Asiatic Expeditionary Force stationed in the area.

The battle between Everett and Spokane is still going on, but it is nearing its end. After the remnants of the 29th and 31st Divisions of the Italian Third Army retreated to the city, most of the Italian officers and soldiers

After surrendering, a few officers loyal to the Nazi Party and Mussolini led a small number of soldiers and relied on the city to carry out defensive street fighting, which caused trouble for the troops to end the battle.

This angered the soldiers who attacked the two places mentioned above. After calling in artillery and tanks, any area where Italian soldiers were found to be resisting, even if a few scattered bullets were fired, would be immediately covered by artillery fire and exploded everywhere.

The ruins and such a ferocious attack completely shattered the will of resistance of the Italian officers and soldiers who were full of Nazis and Mussolini. They all came out of their hiding places and raised their hands to surrender, and the battle ended quickly.

After capturing Everett and Spokane, the East Point troops, which totaled six mechanized infantry brigades and four tank brigades, rushed towards Salem without stopping. At the same time, Liu Tiehan also led the East Point troops.

Members of the command headquarters rushed to Salem to take unified command of the encirclement of the Italian Fifth Army.
