Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 801 German-Soviet War (100)

Soviet division commander Safvaj felt that he was really unlucky for eight lifetimes. First, the Germans ran to the railway section he was responsible for guarding to cause trouble. He stayed up all night and stretched himself out to get some air, but he was still hit by the enemy. It is said that our own soldiers were guarding a 500-meter radius. Where did the enemy shoot from? ! The moment he fell down, he heard the sound of gunshots in the distance, and instantly calculated the distance of the other party in his mind, which was eight or nine hundred meters away from him. He could be hit by a shot from such a long distance. Is there anyone more unlucky than him in the world?

Everyone in the command post was shocked when they heard gunshots in the distance, but before they could go out to check the situation, dense bullets came like a storm.

The tent was made of cloth. Facing bullets flying at high speed, its defense was about the same as a piece of paper. A bloody storm suddenly broke out inside the tent.

The surrounding Soviet troops reacted at this time, but before they had time to act, the Soviet troops closest to the hillside were knocked to the ground by the German RPK machine guns and AKMS assault rifles.

"Retreat!" The machine gun quickly fired a bullet chain, and Fred decisively gave the order to retreat. "Haha, today's harvest is not small, I killed a division commander."

The deputy company commander on the side also echoed excitedly. "Maybe there are other officers in the tent."

"Yeah, that's better. But you have to move somewhere after you go back." After a division commander was killed, the Soviets would definitely not give up. They would have to move at least 20 kilometers away.

The Soviet army was in chaos. Some people went to chase the German army, while others rushed to the command post to save people.

"Comrade Division Commander, Comrade Division Commander!" The medical soldiers who arrived immediately saw Division Commander Savvaj's upper body stained red with blood as he fell in front of the command post.

The rest of the people rushed into the tent, which was filled with a strong smell of blood, and most of them fell into a pool of blood. Two of the regiment commanders are dead, and the other regiment commander is seriously injured. In addition, two US military colonels who came from Moscow last night were also shot and dying.

"What?!" Eisenhower, commander of the U.S. Expeditionary Force in Moscow, almost yelled when he received the news. These stupid guys were attacked by the Germans yesterday, and they were attacked again at the same place today. Are you stupid? ! He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked. "Didn't you go into the mountains to search and suppress yesterday? Why were you attacked again?!"

"The troops sent into the mountain yesterday encountered a German mine ambush and suffered heavy casualties. It was dark, so Comrade Savvaj, the division commander, asked them to withdraw first and planned to send a large force into the mountain to search and suppress this morning. As a result, they were attacked by the Germans. Our army tightly protected the 500-meter radius of the attack point, but the Germans shot from more than 800 meters away. First, they killed Division Commander Savvaj with one shot, and then used machine guns to shoot at the command post. The comrades inside almost completely annihilated."

Eisenhower was speechless. "You won't let the Germans escape again this time, right?"

"The sudden attack by the Germans caused some chaos, and our soldiers were busy rescuing them, allowing them to escape."

Eisenhower was completely speechless at this time. He felt that if he continued to delve into this issue, he would suffer a heart attack and die on the spot. "What are the casualties of our troops?"

"Your army confirmed that more than 700 people were killed, more than 300 were seriously injured, and the rest were minor injuries of varying degrees."

"Got it." Eisenhower waved his hand and asked the other party to leave before ordering someone to spread the news back to the country.

After learning the casualty data of his own soldiers, President Wilkie looked angry. What made him even more angry was that two of his own majors were indirectly killed by the Soviets. "These stupid Soviets!" President Wilkie cursed fiercely, but what else could he do? You can't go across the ocean to slap Stalin in the face. "Then can they still keep their own railway?" They can't even keep a single railway, what a waste! !

If the Germans often destroy railways, then the materials they used to support the past can only be piled up in the Far East and never reach the front line.

"The Soviets said they have sent a large force to search and suppress them. They must be able to eliminate them soon."

At this time General Leahy mentioned another matter. "Mr. President, German carrier-based aircraft were spotted near the Aleutian Islands this morning. If the German Pacific Fleet's next target is the Aleutian Islands, it will be a great disadvantage to us."

The Aleutian Islands are an arc-shaped island chain extending westward from the southwest coast of Alaska, stretching for 1,600 kilometers and separating the Bering Sea from the Pacific Ocean. The Aleutian Islands are composed of more than 70 islands, with a total land area of ​​80,000 square kilometers. Most of them are desolate rock islands with rugged and complex terrain and sparsely populated areas. The Aleutian Islands originally belonged to Russia. In 1867, Czar Alexander II sold Alaska and the Aleutian Islands to the United States for $7.2 million, making it the most remote territory in the territory of the United States. However, the U.S. government paid little attention to it. Until the 1930s, much of the Aleutian region remained undeveloped and barbaric.

It was not until 1940 that the US military began to strengthen defense and established the Alaska Defense Command, which was affiliated with the Western Defense Command, with Major General Simon Buckner commanding the local garrison.

The original Battle of the Aleutian Islands in World War II is one of the least-known episodes of the Pacific War. The Aleutian Islands are completely shrouded in fog for almost half of every year. For both warring parties, bad weather is always the biggest enemy. The Aleutian Islands, which seemed like a shortcut, actually turned into a strategic trap in the fog. The wartime news blackout and the major developments in other important battlefields during the same period completely shrouded the Battle of the Aleutian Islands in the fog of history. During the battle that lasted for more than half a year in the fog, the U.S. Navy and Air Force officers reversed the unfavorable situation of the Japanese army's sudden attack and instead pushed the Japanese army into a desperate situation.

"Damn it!" President Wilkie cursed angrily. Now the German army has occupied the Hawaiian Islands and Midway Island; now they have the idea of ​​​​the Aleutian Islands? Unlike the Hawaiian Islands and Midway Islands, once the Aleutian Islands fell into German hands, the only sea channel for the United States to support the Soviet Union could be said to be completely cut off.

"Let the Soviets guard the Aleutian Islands." Don't the Soviets still have four Soviet-class battleships left? With other battleships, it should be no problem to defend the Aleutian Islands, right? After all, the Soviet Union neither wanted nor could lose this transportation lane more than the United States. "Yes, let's do this and let the Soviets hold the Aleutian Islands. Also, when will our new warships be put into service?"

"Mr. President, our South Dakota-class battleships can be commissioned within three months at most. There are four ships in total." They are the "South Dakota", the "Indiana", the "Massachusetts" and the "Alabama" .

"There are also four Iowa-class battleships that will be in service in half a year." They are the "Iowa", the "New Jersey", the "Missouri" and the "Wisconsin".

"Very good." President Wilkie nodded, but he also knew that battleships alone were not enough. "How is our fire control radar development going?"
