German military suddenly launched a landing operation against Elgin Port and occupied the port in just one hour. Even after two hours, they captured Sackville, which was 20 kilometers away. Such speed was completely beyond American-British Allied Forces's imagination. At the same time, German military's military operation was completely beyond American-British Allied Forces's imagination.
New Glasgow, US 1st Army Corps Commander Lieutenant General Omar Bradley, 2nd Army Group Commander Lieutenant General Lloyd Fredendale and British Army Lieutenant General Harold Alexander and Lieutenant General Gerald Temple are discussing the next combat plan.
The British troops originally deployed in Nova Scotia peninsula are becoming British 9th Army Corps, with Lieutenant General Harold Alexander as Commander. The reinforcements from New Brunswick province formed British 10th Army Corps, with Lieutenant General Temple of Girard as Commander. It can be said that compared to Nova Scotia peninsula, American-British Allied Forces is completely strong.
"Gentlemen, the Germany people are frantically sending additional troops to Nova Scotia peninsula. According to the intelligence we have obtained, their 1st Army Corps has completely crossed Canso Strait has landed on Nova Scotia peninsula. German 10th Army Corps will become the second team to land on Nova Scotia peninsula. In fact, they will continue to attack Nova Scotia peninsula will send more troops. We can't let the Germany people send troops to Nova Scotia peninsula like this, otherwise we will gradually lose our advantage. Therefore, we should take advantage of the fact that German military's main force has not yet landed on Nova Scotia peninsula, and take the opportunity to attack German military and defeat them in one fell swoop," Lieutenant General Omar Bradley suggested.
"Yes, with our current strength, if we launch an attack with all our strength, it is entirely possible to defeat German military." Lieutenant General Lloyd Fredendale immediately agreed.
But Lieutenant General Harold Alexander and Lieutenant General Gerald Temple did not answer immediately. Previously, US 1st Army Corps suffered heavy losses under the attack of German 1st Army Corps. Now, if they continue to attack, can they have a chance of winning?
"The Germany people are on the south coast of Canso Strait and are fully prepared. At the same time, they can get a lot of support from the sea and the air. Under such circumstances, if we take the initiative to launch an attack, it may be difficult to defeat the Germany people, and we will suffer heavy losses." Lieutenant General Hadro Alexander said with some worry.
"Yes, if you want to have a decisive battle with the Germany people, it is best to stay away from the coast. In this case, their firepower advantage will be greatly reduced." Lieutenant General Gerald Temple also said.
"Gentlemen, the firepower advantage of the Germany people is indeed very strong. However, if we continue to wait, we will only watch as the Germany people continue to increase their troops to Nova Scotia peninsula. They can continuously transport more troops to Nova Scotia peninsula. Due to the influence of the weather, we can no longer increase our troops. By then, we will have no advantage at all," Lieutenant General Omar Bradley said.
Lieutenant General Harold Alexander and Lieutenant General Gerald Temple were both silent.
Indeed, if German military continues to send more troops to Nova Scotia peninsula, it may be difficult for them to resist German offensive. At that time, it can only be crushed by German military, which has a greater advantage.
"Gentlemen, we must take the initiative. Only in this way can it be possible to break the deadlock and win." Lieutenant General Omar Bradley continued.
But at this moment, Major General Thomas opened the door and walked in.
"Report, general. The Germany people raided Elgin Port. Now, Elgin Port has been lost." Major General Thomas said with a look of panic.
"What? Elgin Port was lost?" Several lieutenant generals were shocked. They are very familiar with the map of Nova Scotia peninsula. Everyone is very clear about the consequences if Elgin Port falls into the hands of Germany people.
"Asshole, the Germany people chose to land on Elgin Port. Do they want to eat us all?"
"Hmph! Germany people have such a good appetite."
"No matter what, we must organize our troops immediately to recapture Elgin Port. Otherwise, not only will our retreat be threatened, but our supplies will also be cut off. By then, without supplies, what will we use to fight the Germany people?" Lieutenant General Omar Bradley said.
The other three lieutenant generals nodded.
Therefore, the important task of counterattacking Elgin Port fell on 2nd Army Corps. The US military will deploy 2nd Armored Division, 11th Mechanized Infantry Division, 14th Infantry Division and 15th Infantry Division from US 2nd Army Corps to attack Elgin Port. Solve the logged-in German military in one fell swoop.
However, just when they had just reached an agreement, a new battle report came.
German military captured Sackville. Moreover, a large number of German military began to log in, building a defense line between Sackville and Elgin Port.
It can be seen that German military has made up his mind to eat all the American-British Allied Forces gathered at Nova Scotia peninsula this time.
"God! This is clearly a long-planned move by the Germany people. Otherwise, how could they capture Elgin Port and Nova Scotia peninsula so quickly? Now, they have begun to build a defense line, and they obviously want to eat us all." Lieutenant General Harold Alexander exclaimed.
"General Fredendale, we can't delay any longer and launch a counterattack immediately. Otherwise, we will all die here." Lieutenant General Omar Bradley said.
Lieutenant General Lloyd Fredendale nodded and immediately ordered the army to attack.
However, it will take time for 2nd Army Corps to rush to Elgin Port to launch an attack. At the same time, German Air Force and the navy also dispatched a large number of aircraft to bomb them, delaying their time.
German 4th Army Corps, on the other hand, took advantage of this opportunity and stepped up to log in. Strive to land more troops in the shortest time and build a stronger defense line to withstand American-British Allied Forces's counterattack.
At the same time, the news that German military logged into Elgin Port and cut off the connection between American-British Allied Forces and North American continent on Nova Scotia peninsula was also learned by American and British governments and the military. This quickly caused an uproar. Everyone knows that the hundreds of thousands of American-British Allied Forces deployed on Nova Scotia peninsula may be in danger this time. If they are not careful at all, they will be eaten by Germany people immediately. The United States and Britain also began to actively think of ways to rescue these troops.
