US 2nd Army Corps, who had already stationed New Brunswick province, and British Army who was stationed here, shouldered the task of defending this area. However, after Army General Staff's order was issued, the entire US 2nd Army Corps began to march toward Nova Scotia peninsula along the roads and railways.
Along with US 2nd Army Corps, there are 10 Infantry Division and one Armored Division of the British Army.
Once these American-British Allied Forces enter Nova Scotia peninsula, the strength of American-British Allied Forces will be greatly increased. American-British Allied Forces's total military strength in Nova Scotia peninsula reached more than 700,000. This is undoubtedly a very large number of troops. You know, the entire Nova Scotia peninsula is only over 40,000 square kilometers. Assembling hundreds of thousands of troops in such a small area is undoubtedly very dense.
The arrival of reinforcements gave Lieutenant General Omar Bradley full of confidence. He began to mobilize the troops on Nova Scotia peninsula and marched towards Canso Strait, preparing German military for Encirclement Offensive's landing.
Not only US Army 1st Army Corps but the remaining five Infantry Division began to attack. Even the British troops stationed on the peninsula also began to take action. Especially British Army 8th Armored Division has become the main force. Lieutenant General Omar Bradley hopes that this Armored Division can participate in the battle of Canso Strait, assist US Army 1st Armored Division, and compete with German military.
German military seemed not to be affected by the increase in troops from United States, and was still sending additional troops to Nova Scotia peninsula as planned.
German military 1st Armored Division, 1st Mechanized Infantry Division and 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division, logged in at Port Busche. Several Infantry Divisions under the jurisdiction of German 1st Army Corps are also orderly passing through the pontoon bridge built by engineers on Canso Strait and landing on Nova Scotia peninsula. Especially after engineers began to build a strong pontoon bridge across the strait that could pass Truck, armored vehicles and heavy artillery, German military's heavy equipment was able to cross the strait. This greatly increased German military's strength on the south bank of the Taiwan Strait. Even if it encounters a fierce attack by the US military's Armored Forces, it can still hold on. Of course, can the US military Armored Forces, which suffered heavy losses, continue to attack?

"Your Excellency, Reconnaissance Aircraft discovered that US 2nd Army Corps stationed at New Brunswick province and a large number of British troops began to march towards Nova Scotia peninsula." Lieutenant General Kurt looked excited.
"Very good, it seems that Americans decided to continue to increase its troops after being hurt by Nova Scotia peninsula. And isn't this exactly what we want to see? If these Americans and British don't gather together, how can we kill them in one fell swoop?" Marshal Blomberg said with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Your Excellency. According to the progress of American-British Allied Forces, they will all enter Nova Scotia peninsula in three days at most." Lieutenant General Kurt continued.
Marshal Blomberg nodded. "Then let 4th Army Corps prepare. On December 17, they will launch an attack. This time, we will eat all the hundreds of thousands of American-British Allied Forces on Nova Scotia peninsula in one fell swoop. Let them know that if they want to fight us, they must be prepared to suffer failure!"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
German military had already been prepared, although when crossing Canso Strait, German military 4th Army Corps dispatched artillery to provide fire support for the landing troops. But in fact, all the main forces of 4th Army Corps have been gathered in the west of Cape Breton Island. Once the order is given, they will land on Elgin Port on Nova Scotia peninsula with the assistance of Marine Corps, and then attack south to capture Sackville. And based on these two cities, a twenty-kilometer-long defense line was built to completely surround American-British Allied Forces on Nova Scotia peninsula. Then put in the follow-up 10th Army Corps, as well as the newly formed 25th Army Corps and 26th Army Corps, to annihilate all American-British Allied Forces in the encirclement circle.
Even though US Army's military strength has expanded to more than five million. Once the two main armies are annihilated by German military, it can also cause a heavy blow to the US military. The most critical thing is that it will cause a huge blow to the morale of the US military. Even the entire United States society will be frightened by this. This will be very beneficial for Germany to defeat the US military in the future.
On the afternoon of December 12, German military 1st Armored Division, 1st Mechanized Infantry Division and 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division had completed the login.
Immediately afterwards, these troops launched an attack on the US military deployed outside Port Busche, preparing to block German military.
Facing the Steel Torrent composed of hundreds of tanks and a large number of armored vehicles of the German military, the two Infantry Division of the US military simply could not hold it. Even though they are equipped with a lot of Anti-tank Gun and rocket launchers. However, the defense of the Tiger-Panther tanks is very strong, and the Anti-tank Gun with a smaller caliber cannot bite it at all. At the same time, these anti-tank firepower points will also be attacked by German Air Force and Bomber. The helicopter unit of German military will also hover above the head of Armored Forces to provide cover for Armored Forces.
Under the fierce attack of German armored forces, the two US military Infantry Division were defeated in just two hours. Not only were tens of thousands of people captured, but the remaining people were also routed. This further aggravated the deterioration of the US military's war situation in Nova Scotia peninsula.
"General, the Germany people launched an attack. The 9th Infantry Division and 10th Infantry Division were defeated and suffered heavy losses. Now, German armored forces has begun to attack Canso Strait is advancing. Our Armored Forces has been severely damaged and may not be able to fight German armored forces for the time being," Major General Thomas reminded.
Lieutenant General Omar Bradley's face was gloomy, although he believed that the combat effectiveness of the US military was no worse than German military. But he also has some self-awareness. If the Armored Forces of the two sides faced off in their heyday, the US military's Armored Forces would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage. Now, the US military's Armored Forces has suffered heavy losses, and it has no capital to confront German military. If the two sides encounter each other, there will probably be only one result, and that is that the US military's Armored Forces will be completely annihilated.
"Order 1st Armored Division, 1st Mechanized Infantry Division and 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division to retreat immediately. In addition, ask 2nd Army Corps to speed up. The Germany people have begun to counterattack. We need more power to resist their offensive." Lieutenant General Omar Bradley ordered.
"Yes, General."
As the battle situation at Nova Scotia peninsula became increasingly tense, US 2nd Army Corps and a large number of British troops had no choice but to speed up their march. And this is clearly a rush to die.
