A whistling shell landed not far to the left front of the headquarters. From the strong air waves released by the explosion, it can be judged that this should be a large-caliber howitzer shell!
Although this shell did not directly hit their command post, the hearts of the American soldiers in the command post were raised to their throats.
“General, the front line is very dangerous. Why don’t you go to the command post at the back? The position there is better and you can see more clearly with a telescope!”
“Yes, General, the terrain here is too low, and the line of sight is greatly obstructed. You can only see the situation in a small part of the area in front of you, and you can’t see the overall situation of the battlefield. It is better to go to the command center behind to check!”
In the forward command post, several US generals were persuading MacArthur to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible!
Although MacArthur’s personal visit to the front line brought great morale encouragement to the US soldiers on the front line, the morale of the soldiers was boosted a lot.
However, the German side seemed to be aware of this. After noticing that the morale of the US military had improved, they were looking for the US military command post all over the world, hoping to use artillery shells to kill the US military command post, so as to achieve the effect of decapitation!
In order to observe the situation of the position in time and to contact the front-line troops in time, the forward command post was very close to the battlefield. The German army only needed to determine a few approximate directions, and their artillery fire could pose a huge threat to the German army!
The fact is also In this way, the German artillery bombardment was obviously aimed at them. Although the German army had not yet bombed their specific location, it can be seen from the increasingly close artillery shells that the German army should have determined the approximate location of their command post!
Next, the two sides will compete with luck!
If the German army is lucky and hits their command post directly, not only will the commander of the US military on the front line be killed, but also the commander-in-chief of the US military on the entire front will die!
It is conceivable how serious the consequences will be. If MacArthur died under the German artillery fire, I am afraid that the more than one million people under his command would be at a loss!
In that case, their carefully planned offensive would be ruined!
“Don’t worry about me, just do your own thing!”
MacArthur was not unaware of the danger here, but he insisted on staying here.
He didn’t think the German army was so lucky that they could hit his command post with a single shot.
Moreover, the top of the command post was reinforced after all. Unless it was directly hit by a large-caliber howitzer, it would be difficult for them to be killed.
Compared to this little risk, MacArthur was obviously more concerned about this scene!
“What’s going on? Didn’t they say that the Germans were in Texas? Why are there so many Germans here?”
Seeing the exquisite coordination of the attacking enemy troops, their textbook-like combat movements, and their proficient operation of various weapons, MacAquer recognized that this army was the authentic German army!
Although from the appearance, the uniforms worn by the Confederate Army and the German Army are almost exactly the same, there are still great differences between the two, and some differences can be seen at a glance!
Although the Confederate Army is composed of descendants of German immigrants, this group of people has Germanic blood and looks not much different from the Hans.
But they are not real Hans after all. They were originally Eagle Sauce people and have lived in Eagle Sauce for many years. Most of them have lived in Eagle Sauce when they were born, so for the Eagle Sauce ‘s cultural habits, and they also have many characteristics of the Eagle Sauce people, such as laxity, poor discipline and unkempt appearance.
On the other hand, the German army, the strict and rigid inherent impression of the Hans is fully reflected in them. Every German soldier looks almost the same, as if they were carved out of a mold!
After MacArthur suffered several defeats at the hands of the German army, he began to pay more attention to this opponent.
He spent a lot of time to carefully study various materials of the German army, so at this time, he could almost see at a glance that the army on the front battlefield that was attacking their position was not the Southern Army, but the German army, the authentic German army!
“Impossible? We saw Model’s troops being transferred with our own eyes, and there has been no news from Texas in the past few days. Haven’t we heard that the Germans have returned to Florida?”
Everyone was a little skeptical about MacArthur’s words.
The Germans were far away in Texas, being held back by Ridgway’s troops. It was obviously not going to be possible for them to return in a short time, so they doubted whether the army on the front battlefield was the real German army!
“Even if it was the Germans who launched the attack, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Model left 50,000 troops to the Southern Army before he left. It was normal to send some of these 50,000 soldiers to participate in some small-scale battles!
MacArthur was almost convinced by these people!
Yes, 50,000 German troops, this number is not small. From the large number of middle and lower-level German officers they saw in the Southern Army, it can be judged that there are German troops in the Southern Army.
Since there are German troops in the Southern Army, it is normal for the Germans to participate in the attack they launched and to conduct a few tentative attacks!
However, MacArthur didn’t think so in his heart!
“You can see for yourself that the German forces are still increasing in strength and are about to break through this line of defense, while the soldiers in the rear look exactly like the same people.���”You can tell from the looks of it that they are genuine Germans!”
When everyone heard MacArthur’s words, they curiously picked up their telescopes and looked over.
The situation on the front line looked quite bad. The German offensive was like a tide. Under the attack of these elite German troops, the American troops on the front were beaten to pieces. One position after another was lost, and the entire front line was at risk of loosening!
“Immediately send the reserve troops in and launch a counterattack to test the waters!”
MacArthur decisively took over the command of the front line and ordered the frontline positions to send the reserve troops to launch a counterattack.
His purpose was not only to recapture his own positions, but also to test the waters in this way to see how strong the German army really was!
For some reason, MacArthur saw both familiar shadows and unfamiliar smells in this German army.
It seems that this German army is very different from the German army he encountered before.
