“General MacArthur, the White House has ordered your army to march south immediately to rescue the 1.3 million trapped troops of our army!”
After being suddenly attacked by the German army and surrounded, the US troops in the encirclement immediately sent a distress telegram to the country, requesting reinforcements!
The news that the 130th army was surrounded overnight shocked the government and the opposition in the United States!
They never thought that the battle in the south would turn out like this. They obviously had several times the force advantage, and they were just facing a group of mobs. Why couldn’t they take down Jackson after several days of fierce fighting, but were surrounded by the other side!
After figuring out that it was the German army that surrounded them, the shock not only did not decrease in the slightest, but spread rapidly!
The German army’s outstanding record in Europe has made the United States so afraid of the German army!
If it weren’t for the fact that the United States and Hans did not share a border, and under normal circumstances, Hans’s army could hardly threaten the safety of the United States, they felt that their fate would probably not be much better than that of the Gauls or the British!
Because of the protection of the Atlantic Ocean, those armies in the United States held With a little bit of luck in their hearts, they never thought that one day the German army would cross the ocean and come to their homeland to fight with them.
So when this happened, they panicked immediately. Although the German army had only two divisions behind them, they acted as if they were surrounded by thousands of troops. The army of more than one million people did not dare to move. After hearing the news, the whole country was also facing a great enemy. They wanted to transfer all the troops to the south before they dared to rescue their friendly forces!
The fear of the German army reached such a level, which was really incredible.
However, no matter how afraid they were, the war had to be fought. If they did not fight, the German army obviously would not leave on its own. In that case, the 1.3 million troops surrounded by them would be in danger!
After receiving the telegram from the White House, MacArthur had no choice.
“I heard that Eisenhower defected?”
He asked General Marshall, the chief of staff beside him, while mobilizing troops and preparing to test the south to see the strength of the German army.
Marshall’s face looked a little bad after hearing this question!
The news of Eisenhower’s defection had already spread within the Eagle Sauce Army.
This incident had a great impact on the Eagle Sauce Army.
After all, Eisenhower was once a rising star valued by the military and even the president.
He had a deep understanding of the Eagle Sauce Army.
If he defected, not only would the US military lose an outstanding talent, but it would also lead to the leakage of intelligence on the US military side, allowing the enemy to understand their strengths and weaknesses!
This is quite disadvantageous for them!
“The CIA said that he has arrived. If nothing unexpected happens, the Southern Army should make use of him. After all, he is also a German immigrant!”
After hearing this, MacArthur sneered. Eisenhower used to be a hand. Although he was finally valued by the president and promoted to the central government, MacArthur actually looked down on this guy!
Compared with Eisenhower, MacArthur is not only a top student who graduated from the West Point Military Academy, he once broke the record and set the highest score in the West Point Military Academy. He became a rising star in the military early! Moreover,
MacArthur’s background is also very strong. He himself is a descendant of a general. His father, old MacArthur, is himself a senior officer of the Eagle Sauce. Their family has a deep influence in the military and a wide network of contacts. It can be said that they are deeply rooted.
On the other hand, Eisenhower was a latecomer. Not only did he enter West Point 12 years later than MacArthur, but he was also recommended by someone, which was equivalent to taking a backdoor. He also performed mediocrely in school and was far less amazing than MacArthur!
In this case, MacArthur felt very superior because he had an overwhelming advantage over the two of them. Moreover, Eisenhower had been his assistant. The gap between the two in terms of qualifications and status was huge. It was normal for him to look down on Eisenhower!
In fact, last year, Eisenhower was given an important position by President Roosevelt. After being employed and promoted, MacArthur began to feel a little resentful.
He was a little jealous of the other party’s good luck. He felt that he was obviously more capable, more experienced, and had a good family background. He should be the one who was valued by the president, but he didn’t expect that Eisenhower got there first. This made him very unhappy!
So, after hearing the news of Eisenhower’s defection, MacArthur despised him in his heart, and at the same time made up his mind to teach him a lesson on the battlefield, so that the president and others could see who the best general in the military was!
“MacArthur, you can’t be careless in this battle. Your main enemy is not Eisenhower but Model, one of the three famous German generals. The one who attacked us this time is probably Model’s Second Army. The strength of this army should not be underestimated!”
Seeing MacArthur’s expression, Marshall was worried that the other side would underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, so he had to speak up and remind him.
“Humph, Model? What’s there to be afraid of a guy who can only defend but not attack? In my opinion, his strength is not as good as Rommel. These can be regarded as the so-called three famous generals. It can be seen how much water the three famous generals boasted by the Third Reich are!”
I don’t know whether he was cheering himself up or really looked down on Model from the bottom of his heart. MacArthur showed a very indifferent attitude.
Marshall glanced at him and shook his head.
MacArthur was a very proud guy. His background and his ability did give him the capital to be proud!
However, his character will sooner or later hurt himself. War is a very serious matter. Any wrong decision made by the commander may ruin the entire army or even the entire war!
Thinking of this, Marshall secretly made up his mind that he must keep an eye on MacArthur and not let him mess around.
When necessary, he decided to take over the command of the army himself and command the battle himself!
On October 12, an army of the US Army, under the command of Marshall, began to move southward and attack the German troops entrenched in Brunswick.
Before the US counterattack, the two light divisions sent by Model had been resting in the north of the US Army for almost three days.
Although they were in the enemy’s hinterland, they were not panicked at all because there were no enemies approaching for dozens of miles. As long as the US Army did not take the initiative to attack, they did not need to retreat in a hurry.
However, the two German light divisions did not expect that the US Army’s counterattack would come so slowly, and there were so many troops dispatched.
An army, hundreds of thousands of people came to fight against their division. I don’t know if the US Army was too timid or they were scared by the German Army!
However, with so many troops coming together, they really didn’t give the German Army much chance to attack them.
