The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

When everyone in the command center heard that the navy was coming to rescue them, they were so excited that they burst into tears. They had been so frustrated during this period.

They wanted to fight back, but they were short of ammunition. Every time they fought back, they were defeated by the enemy. Over time, they could only passively defend themselves.

""Chief of Staff, we can launch a counterattack and let the navy support us." The Chief of Operations suggested.

Hearing this, Admiral Gauss said with a wry smile:"How much ammunition do we have left to support our counterattack? We have even fewer tanks, less than a hundred in total, not to mention that we don't even have a few barrels of fuel. It's a problem to start them."

Hearing this, everyone was silent. Not only was ammunition in short supply, but even fuel was very scarce.

"The navy should bring us supplies, right?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Their purpose is to reinforce Pantelleria Island. They just changed their combat mission temporarily and will not carry too many supplies."Admiral Gauss explained.

Looking at the silent people in the command center, Admiral Gauss smiled and said,"Although we can't fight back, at least we can go home. Next time, we must teach these bastards a lesson."

"Yes!"When they heard about going home, everyone's eyes flashed with excitement. Going home, how desirable it is.

At this time, the battle on the front line was fierce. After the artillery fire, the British and American allied forces rushed towards the German-Italian coalition positions with Garand semi-automatic rifles.

"These M troops are really crazy."

Looking at the huge mass of M troops charging aggressively, a D soldier holding a Mauser 98k rifle said in horror:

"Don't panic, reload and prepare for battle"

"Keep Calm"

"Don't panic"

"Listen to my orders."

Looking at the surging M Army, the D Army commander shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Captain, we are out of ammunition."A soldier from Army D said loudly.

"The ammunition is coming." At this time, more than a dozen officers and soldiers from the logistics department came to the trench carrying a pile of ammunition, and said excitedly:"Good news, the navy has sent a warship to take us home."

"What? The navy sent a warship? Is this true?"Someone couldn't help but said in surprise

"Of course it's true, we destroyed the Royal Home Fleet"

"My God, this is really good news.

The morale of the D-army soldiers in the trenches who received the news was greatly boosted, and they shouted indignantly:

"Kill, kill, kill!"

""You can use as much ammunition as you want. It's okay if you run out of ammunition." The words of the logistics officer made all the soldiers even more excited. They all started running with their helmets on. Some began to set up mortars along the front line of the communication trench, some set up anti-tank guns, and some continued to stay in their combat positions, using the Mauser rifles in their hands, crawling and aiming at the enemy and starting to shoot.

Of course, the Italian army not far away was thinking about surrendering, as they couldn't win anyway.

In short, the D army, which received the good news at this time, started running excitedly and started to fight back with the weapons in their hands.

"Fight back! Don't be happy yet. If we don't kill the enemy in front of us, we won't be able to go home."

"go home!"

"go home!"

"Go home!"

When they heard the word"go home", everyone's eyes were full of desire, and they pulled the trigger more skillfully.

"Da da da!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Da da da!"

"Boom!"

For a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with noisy sounds, and deafening explosions echoed throughout the trenches.

"Take cover, bombard."

The captain of the D army roared and decisively went into a nearby air-raid shelter, his movements were very skillful.

"Boom, boom!"

The D army soldiers who didn't react in time were blown to pieces by the shells, dead beyond death.

"Where's our artillery? Fire back!"

"Damn it, where are the artillerymen?"

The artillerymen were also very depressed at this time. They had no shells left. They had lost a lot of heavy weapons during the rout, and the remaining artillery had few shells. They had already used up a lot of shells in the previous defensive battle, and now they were simply unable to fight back.

"Not a single shell left?" the artillery commander asked in surprise.

"There are less than a hundred shells left. After they are used up, our artillery will become infantry."The officer who came to report said helplessly.

"Why bother with so much? Just fire and beat up these sons of bitches. The artillery commander didn't care how many shells were left. He would fire as soon as he had them.

However, the artillery fire of the D Army was so weak that it was not effective at all and could not suppress the M Army effectively.

So they could only watch the M Army's artillery fire continue to wash the front-line positions.

""Swish, swish, swish!"

The unique sound of the Garand semi-automatic rifle sounded in front of the position, and the splashed gravel flew everywhere.

The D Army company commander who had been hiding before came out of the hidden air-raid shelter with lingering fear, and carefully stretched his head to watch the movement of the M Army.

This look scared him so much that his heart almost jumped out. He saw nearly 200 M4 medium tanks in front of him, galloping towards his position.

At the same time, the artillery on the M4 medium tanks had been aimed at his position, ready to fire.

"Boom! Boom!"

After a while, the D army position was once again washed by a rain of shells, and the entire position was shrouded in smoke.

"Damn, the anti-tank gun is destroyed"

"Damn it, without anti-tank weapons, we can't win"

"No matter what, we must hold our position. This is our hope of returning home.

Although the battle was brutal, the surviving D Army still fought back, firing mortars, rifles, and heavy machine guns in the hope of stopping the enemy's attack.

However, these attacks were in vain and had no meaning at all.

"Fight back, don't let the M army advance a step, even if we die in battle, we can't let them occupy the position, this is our hope to return home."The captain shouted loudly.

I don't know if it was good luck or God's blessing, the accuracy of the only five remaining anti-tank guns was very high. Basically, five shots could kill three tanks. For a while, the M army's attack began to sluggish.

But soon, behind the tank group, there appeared again a black tide of people and a rolling torrent of steel.

"Oh my God, there are still so many tanks. Oh my God, are we really going to die here?"

"No, I want to go home."

At this moment, a sharp whistle came from the sea in the distance, and a huge shell instantly exploded in the M4 tank group.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Before the D army soldiers could react, the ground shook and the sound of explosions suddenly came.

The power of the naval guns was no less than an earthquake, and the continuous and strong bombardment made all the soldiers around feel as if their internal organs were about to burst.

"Damn it, it's a naval gun, cover your ears quickly."

Everyone covered their ears tightly, but the power of the explosion still made everyone's eardrums hurt.

At the same time, their vision was obscured by the flying dust and sand, or they felt a blackout in front of their eyes and passed out without knowing anything.

The M army soldiers who were charging were directly blown into the sky by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and then fell back to the ground under the action of gravity.

"Reinforcements? Is this reinforcements? Our navy, our navy is coming."

"Oh my god, our navy is here."

"Why are you so late?"

"Damn it, it's too late."

The German and Italian soldiers on the battlefield were like crazy, shouting loudly.

Of course, many of them also had the look of surviving a disaster.

"It's our navy. Our navy has finally arrived. The Empire has not given up on us."

"Yes, yes, yes, we are saved. Kill these sons of bitches and avenge the emperor's dead soldiers."

"We are saved. It is our Italian navy. The Prime Minister has not given up on us."

"Fire! Kill these sons of bitches!"

When the battleship's outline became clearer and clearer, everyone was excited and shouted.

Some people even danced on the battlefield with tears in their eyes, while others fired guns into the sky to express their excitement at the moment.

Or maybe it was the excitement of being rescued. After all, if they were trapped here for several months, other people would have gone crazy, but they held on.

"Oh my god, why are the German, French and Italian navies here? Why are they here?"

"Haven't we already seized control of the Mediterranean? Aren't they tightly blocked?"

"What on earth do the navy do? Why are they here?"

The commander of the M army in the rear shouted in surprise. He originally thought that this general attack would definitely wipe out the enemy, but the D country navy actually showed up.

"What should we do now?"An officer said worriedly

"Send out the air force, let the air force deal with them." The leading officer said in a cold tone.

At this moment, a black cloud appeared in the distance. When the black cloud approached, the M army officer's face turned pale and he could not help but���The letter said

"Planes? Planes of the D Army? Impossible, how could their planes cross the Mediterranean?"

"Sir, it's a carrier-based aircraft, that's the symbol of their navy."

The sharp-eyed people nearby immediately noticed that the bombing planes were all carrier-based aircraft.

"Damn, they have an aircraft carrier, how is this possible?"

"How could they have an aircraft carrier?"

The D army had given them so many surprises today that many people's brains went blank and they had no idea what was going on.

"Retreat! Everyone, retreat immediately."

"Retreat quickly"

"Retreat quickly"

"Fuck."

I originally thought that the enemy only had warships and no aircraft carriers, and I could still rely on the air force to bully them. Now the enemy also has aircraft carriers, and the performance of carrier-based aircraft is not weak, so I just gave up the idea of attacking.

When the M army began to retreat, the D army on the position sat on the ground, and many people looked at the fighter planes in the sky with tears in their eyes.

"saved"

"I can finally go home"

"Thank you, Empire!"

Admiral Gauss of the command center was relieved when he heard that the M army had begun to retreat. He was finally safe and could finally go back.

"Inform them to prepare for retreat and leave a rear guard to prevent the M army from counterattacking."Admiral Gauss said calmly.

"Yes!

This retreat was no less than another Dunkirk retreat, except that this time the attackers were not strong enough to completely and effectively defeat Army D on the peninsula.

""Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, Marshal Dönitz is here." At this time, a staff officer came in and reported.

Hearing this, Admiral Gauss's eyes flashed with excitement. He really had to thank the navy for being able to survive this time. Without them, it would have been impossible for him to survive.

"Thank you, Marshal. Without you, none of the 240,000 soldiers of the North African Corps would have survived."When he saw Marshal Dönitz, Admiral Gauss said with emotion

"No, all this is thanks to His Majesty the Emperor."Marshal Dönitz said solemnly

"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!"Admiral Gauss stood at attention and said

""Hmm!" Marshal Dönitz nodded with satisfaction, glanced around the headquarters, frowned and said:"You have come to this point? Out of ammunition and food?"

Hearing this, Admiral Gauss showed a bitter smile on his face:"Your Excellency Marshal, if you had come three days later, we would have surrendered. Not only are there no food, but also not enough ammunition. Each person has less than three bullets."

As he said, Admiral Gauss casually took a guard's submachine gun and skillfully unloaded the magazine. Seeing that it was empty, Marshal Dönitz's eyes flashed a trace of solemnity.

Even the guards of the guard headquarters had no bullets, so the ammunition of the front-line soldiers was really insufficient. It was really not easy for them to hold on until now.

"Relax, Admiral Gauss, you are safe from now on and can go home at any time. Marshal Dönitz sighed and said

"Really? We can really go home?"Admiral Gauss's eyes lit up. He hadn't been home for a long time.

"Of course, this time when you return to Italy, each of you will have at least half a month's vacation, so you can go home and have a look. Marshal Dönitz shrugged, indicating that it was no problem at all.

""Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, the Empire!" Admiral Gauss said excitedly.

Everyone in the command center also flashed a trace of excitement on their faces. They could finally go home.

When more people heard that they could go home, they boarded the ship faster. They couldn't wait to fly home and see their hometown.

"What a brave warrior, they have held on until now, it's amazing." A French sailor said with emotion

"Yes, they are all real warriors, so awesome"

"When will we have such a powerful army?"

"Yes, I believe it will be available soon."
