Third Reich: I took over power

With the victory of the Third Reich's Northern Army Group on the Nova Scotia Peninsula, the three armies of the Eagle Army were completely annihilated, freeing the main force of the Northern Army Group to invest in other battlefields. This relieved the crisis facing Army Group North at once. For the Yingjiang Army, it was an out-and-out disaster.

Originally, General Douglas MacArthur was counting on investing a huge amount of troops to defeat the Third Reich's Northern Army Group in one fell swoop on the northern battlefield and win this battle. But now it seems that this is simply a delusion. Maybe, they will suffer a disastrous defeat.

"Order the 14th Army, 8th Army, 9th Army and 10th Army to speed up the advance and increase the intensity of the attack. In any case, the Third Reich's defense line in the western part of Lake Voch will definitely be broken through. At least the 11th Army, 12th Army, 16th Army and 19th Army must be rescued from the encirclement. As long as the safety of these four armies is ensured, even if we lose three armies, we will still have enough power to deal with the Third Reich. If these four armies are lost, we will be doomed!"General Douglas MacArthur looked serious.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander! Lieutenant General Jacob Devers nodded repeatedly.

Although three armies have been lost in the northern theater of the Eagle Kingdom, if you include the three armies drawn from the eastern theater, their strength has not actually been damaged. Of course, the three armies drawn from the Eastern Theater need to be returned to the Eastern Theater.

However, it is up to General Douglas MacArthur to decide when to return them.

"well! This battle is becoming increasingly unfavorable to us. Is the gap between us and the Third Reich really that big? Are we really going to lose this battle?"General Douglas MacArthur sighed.

Although the Eagle Country has mobilized a large number of troops, the entire country has entered a state of war. But even so, the powerful combat power they have exploded has never been that of the Third Reich. Opponent. Especially the Third Reich has not tried its best in this battle. In fact, even a large number of servants of the Third Reich have not yet entered the battlefield. This is undoubtedly a problem for the Eagle Country. A huge threat. Once these servants join the battlefield, the consequences will be even more serious. By then, the Eagle Sauce Country may never have a chance again.

"God bless the country of Eagle Sauce!"Admiral Douglas MacArthur could only pray to God.

At this moment, on the Atlantic Ocean, a huge transport fleet was sailing westward.

The 1.5 million people of the Third Reich's Central Army Group, escorted by the naval fleet, is heading towards the eastern coast of the Eagle Country in a mighty manner.

After three armies were deployed in the Eastern Theater of the Eagle Country, there is already a huge emptiness in military strength. This is undoubtedly a problem for the Central Army Group of the Third Reich. Excellent opportunity.

On the aircraft carrier Zeppelin, the flagship of the Third Reich Navy, Marshal Manstein, Commander of Army Group Center, and Marshal Albrecht, Chief of Naval Staff, were meeting. There is still a lot to be done in this landing operation of Army Group Center It relies on the navy. Therefore, the army naturally has to fully cooperate with the navy.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, our Army Group Center, this time plans to land in Ocean City, Maryland and Virginia Beach, Virginia. After that, attack all the way to Richmond. The other road launched an attack on Baltimore. During landing operations, the navy needs to provide us with fire support and air support. Even after the landing is successful, it will still require strong support from the navy."Marshal Manstein's posture was very low.

In the early stage, Army Group Central mainly fought on the east coast of Eagle Country and in the Chesapeake Bay. In this area of ​​water, the navy can dispatch warships to directly provide fire support for Army Group Central.. Not to mention, the navy's carrier-based aircraft can also penetrate hundreds of kilometers into the territory of the Eagle Country to provide air support to the army.

This will be very helpful for the next operations of the Central Army Group.

"Your Excellency, Commander, there is no problem. The Navy can do its best to help the Army. Now, in addition to the 1st Battleship Group and the 1st Aircraft Carrier Group. Because Army Group Northern had already won a decisive victory. The fleet originally invested in the northern battlefield can also withdraw its main force. The 2nd Battleship Group, the 3rd Battleship Group, the Battlecruiser Group, and the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Group can all be deployed on the Eastern battlefield. However, we only have two aircraft carrier formations and a limited number of carrier-based aircraft. In terms of combat effectiveness, it should be able to suppress the Army Air Force in the Eastern Theater of Eagle Country. However, I am afraid that we will also be under great pressure."Marshal Albrecht said

"Chief of Staff, this is not a problem. Army Group South has achieved a major victory in the southern region of the Eagle Kingdom. Many Imperial Air Force fighter planes have already stationed themselves at field airports on the Florida Peninsula and even the northern areas from Guba Island. Next, the Imperial Air Force will also take off fighter planes from the southern region to assist us in our battle. In this case, there will be no problem in defeating the Eagle Country Army Air Force."Marshal Manstein said

"Your Excellency, Commander, in this case there will be no problem at all. We will definitely win this battle!"Marshal Albrecht also breathed a sigh of relief.

The carrier-based aircraft force of the Third Reich Navy has also suffered very heavy losses in this war. If it can be effectively carried out with the cooperation of the Air Force, It would be best to reduce losses.

After the two sides agreed on the time for the attack, as well as the time for shelling and bombing, Marshal Manstein returned to his temporary headquarters. This is set up in a cabin on a transport ship.

Marshal Manstein also summoned a group of generals from the army group and issued an order to attack, requiring all units to be prepared.

On May 1, 1943, the Third Reich Air Force took off a large number of fighter planes from the northern part of the Florida Peninsula and launched a raid on the airports on the eastern coast of the Eagle Country.

At the same time, the two aircraft carrier formations of the Third Reich Navy also took off a large number of carrier-based aircraft from the Atlantic Ocean to participate in the bombing of the Eagle Army Air Force.

Three battleship formations, a battlecruiser formation, and a large number of cruisers and destroyers of the Third Reich Navy appeared directly along the east coast and launched a fierce bombardment on the coastal positions in the eastern part of the Eagle Kingdom.
