The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Chapter 1046

“General, you go first, it will be too late if you don’t leave now!”

After learning that General Pershing and his army were blocked by the German army, the White House immediately sent a small transport plane to pick him up with the senior generals in the army.

As for the two divisions under General Pershing, they could not take care of them. The US military now had no ability to rescue these soldiers from the German army. If they had sufficient troops and had not been attacked on a large scale by the German army, they could still try, but at this time they were attacked fiercely by the German army. Guderian’s offensive in the west was so fierce that he captured several cities in one day!

In this case, the White House was too busy to take care of itself, so how could it have the energy to send troops to rescue the besieged US army!

So they could only make such a move to cut off their tail and survive!

However, the two divisions brought by Pershing could be discarded, but Pershing himself had to be taken back.

The two divisions have too many troops to be transported out by special means, but if only General Pershing himself and some senior officers are to be taken away, then only one transport plane will be enough!

After realizing that their way was blocked, the U.S. military immediately began to build defensive positions and airports under the command of General Pershing.

The purpose of building defensive positions is to resist possible attacks by the enemy. They are currently located in the Appalachian Mountains, which are full of mountains. They can just find a peak to serve as their main position and build a defense line based on this peak. If they perform well, they can hold off the enemy for a long time!

So building defensive positions at this time is actually preparing for future battles.

As for the construction of airports, the main purpose is to facilitate the logistics department of the U.S. military to transport them by air. The supplies need to be transported here. Without the supplies, these tens of thousands of American troops would probably soon run out of supplies and starve to death in the mountains!

However, an airport cannot solve the severe situation they face. For a force of tens of thousands, the food and drink alone is a huge number. With the current air transport capabilities of the US military, it is extremely difficult, or even impossible, to undertake their supply mission!

Moreover, the army not only needs food and drink, but also the supplies needed for combat, including weapons and ammunition, medical supplies, maintenance equipment and consumables.

These things are also indispensable. In battle, these things are consumed very quickly. If they cannot be replenished in time, once the US military runs out of these supplies, the weapons in their hands will become fire sticks, and they will not be able to resist at all. The German attack!

It was precisely because of this that Admiral Pershing was worried.

In the most ideal case, even if the White House used all its air power to protect and reinforce his troops, it would not be able to ensure that they could hold on for a long time!

What’s more, the situation on other battlefields is also very bad, and the White House cannot waste too much energy on them, so the fate of this army is actually doomed!

When Admiral Pershing thought of this, his mood was very complicated.

This army was trained by him personally, and it took him a lot of energy and effort. At this moment, he could only abandon this army and watch its demise. This feeling made him very uncomfortable, so at the airport, when the people sent by the White House to pick him up urged him to board the plane, he was reluctant to take a step, as if he wanted to take another look at this army!

“”General, let’s go.

It will be too late if we don’t leave now.

The German reconnaissance planes have discovered the airport we built.

As soon as the sun rises, their bombers will arrive, and we will be bombed!

” The pilot looked anxious and kept looking at the sky.

It was dawn, and the sky was not completely bright.

It was not suitable for takeoff at this time, but the US military had no choice.

They could not wait until daytime to take off.

At that time, the German planes would also take off and fly out to perform their missions.

If the Germans were faster than them, then their airport would probably not be able to be saved.

Without the airport, not only would they not be able to complete the task assigned to them by the White House, but they would even be trapped here!

Everyone knew that tens of thousands of people here had been abandoned, and staying here would only lead to death, so the pilots and other crew members were extremely anxious, hoping to take off as soon as possible, otherwise, they would have no chance to take off if they delayed any further!

“General, let’s go. The president and the generals are still waiting for you!”

Admiral Pershing is a man who knows the big picture. If he is asked to abandon the army for the sake of his own life, he may not be able to do it. He will most likely choose to stay with the army.

However, if he is asked to put the overall situation first, return to Chicago to take charge of the overall situation, and help the Eagle Sauce in crisis to turn the tide, then he will definitely choose to leave!

Sure enough, as soon as this sentence came out, Admiral Pershing’s face changed slightly. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily and said,”Okay, in that case, let’s go now without further ado!”

The people on the plane heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Admiral Pershing’s words!

Soon, on this simple airport, the small transport plane bumped and slid for a distance, then successfully took off and disappeared into the sky.

Half an hour later, when the sky was completely bright and the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on the earth, the German bombers arrived at the battlefield early and began to bombard the American soldiers who were building fortifications! The surrounded American soldiers had to save bullets and dared not fire at will. Under the bombing of the German army, they could only run away and hide everywhere.

The German army did not have this problem at all. After Manstein took action to integrate the economy, industry and people’s livelihood issues in the occupied areas, these originally belonged to Yu Yingjiang’s factory has now begun to serve the German army and has begun to produce various materials needed for combat, including bullets, firearms, artillery and shells.

The earliest factory built in Florida can even produce tanks and airplanes, which makes the German army’s supplies very abundant. There is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient supply of materials. They can bomb with open arms!

The American soldiers were bombed and cried for their parents, and they were all covered in dust. However, compared to being bombed, there was another thing that made them feel more panic and angry!

Their commander-in-chief disappeared!
