"Your Excellency, 8th Armored Division, 88th Armored Division, No. 71 Mechanized Infantry Division, No. 72 Mechanized Infantry Division, 73rd Mechanized Infantry Division Both and 74th Mechanized Infantry Division have crossed the St. Croix River. Americans has not launched an attack," Lieutenant General Karl reported.
Marshal Guderian nodded. "It seems that Americans is a little more timid than we thought. However, this is more beneficial to us. Since Americans believes that defending the position can withstand our attack. Then let them see how we break through their position and crush their hopes!"
If the US military launches a counterattack, it will certainly not be able to drive German military back to the north bank of the St. Croix River. However, it can interfere with German military's crossing the river. Especially those heavy tanks of German military, once the pontoon bridge is broken by a shell, they will not be able to cross the river.
"Order the 71st Mechanized Infantry Division, the 72nd Mechanized Infantry Division, the 75th Infantry Division and the 76th Infantry Division to launch an attack on Topsfield." Marshal Guderian ordered.
Now, the U. S. military's reinforcements are increasing, Topsfield, and he doesn't want to waste any more time to avoid long nights and nightmares.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Karl? Lieutenant General Hillpet quickly conveyed the order.
The German military artillery, which had been prepared for a long time, began to pour artillery shells on Topsfield. Each of the large-caliber heavy cannons let out a thundering roar. The artillerymen were shirtless, carrying the shells, and tried their best to reflect more shells in the shortest time.
Artillery shells roared and hit the US military position one after another. The fortifications built by the infantry of US 5th Army Corps were turned into ruins bit by bit under the fierce bombardment of German military.
German Air Force's Dive Bomber and ground-level Attacker also joined in and bombed the US military positions.
Bombs fell from the sky one after another, and large areas of US military positions were destroyed.
Countless US soldier were killed under the fierce firepower of German military. Many soldiers who were hiding in bomb-proof holes or air-raid shelters were buried alive because of the collapse of the bomb-proof holes and air-raid shelters.
Under the fierce firepower of German military, the defense line that the US military had worked so hard to build was no different from paper.
"Attack!"
After German military's artillery preparations continued for an hour, German military's Mechanized Infantry Division and Infantry Division launched an attack. The two Mechanized Infantry Division took the lead and attacked Topsfield from two directions. Two Infantry Division followed behind to support.
German military's Mechanized Infantry Division is also equipped with more than a hundred tanks, although it does not have the latest 'King Tiger tank' heavy tank. However, the performance of the 'Mighty Tiger' heavy tank and 'Panther tank' medium tank is still strong enough to defeat the US military tanks. Not to mention, the US military deployed mainly infantry in Topsfield.
Although the US military has prepared a large number of anti-tank weapons in Topsfield, such as Anti-tank Gun and rocket launchers, etc. But the bombing before German military was not a vegetarian. A large number of US anti-tank firepower points were destroyed. Very few American anti-tank firepower points survived. However, more of those rocket launchers survived.
But in battle, the role that these US anti-tank weapons can play is very limited. When German military was attacking, hundreds of fighter jets and Bomber were hovering in the sky, ready to provide reinforcements to the troops on the ground at any time. At the same time, hundreds of helicopters also participated in the attack. These helicopters can use machine guns and rockets to clear out the US military's firepower points and clear obstacles for the infantry to attack.
"God! Germany people have dispatched tanks. Anti-tank Gun pull up quickly." A US military officer ordered.
A 57mm Anti-tank Gun was pulled up. But before he could open fire, he was discovered by a helicopter from German military.
"Boohoo!"
Several rockets roared in, tearing all the Anti-tank Gun soldiers into pieces.
"Boom!"
A Anti-tank Gun found the opportunity and fired the shell.
Armor-piercing Shell roared and hit a 'Panther tank' medium tank. Armor-piercing Shell penetrated the front armor of the 'Panther tank' tank and hit the ammunition magazine.
"Boom!"
A detonation was fired from the ammunition depot, and the entire tank burst into flames.
The tank soldiers, covered in fire, got out of the tank and rolled on the ground, trying to put out the fire on their bodies.
The infantrymen behind the subsequent tanks also rushed forward to put out the fire for them.
"Da da da!"
After a row of machine gun bullets fired, German military's infantry suffered heavy casualties.
"Woo!"
A Dive Bomber of German military swooped down from a high altitude and dropped a heavy Aerial Bomb at a height of less than 500 meters from the ground.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded, and this firepower point of the US military was hit. After the smoke cleared, a large crater appeared on the U. S. military's position. As for Anti-tank Gun, it had already been blown into parts and scattered everywhere. And those Anti-tank Gun soldiers have no bones left.
The US anti-tank firepower caused some casualties to German military. However, under air cover, casualties were very limited. Under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, German military's infantry broke through the US military's defense line and launched an attack on the US military's core position.
Although the US military has deployed a lot of troops in Topsfield, it is obviously impossible to resist German offensive.
Lieutenant General Lucian Truscott also quickly realized this problem. He originally wanted to use fortifications to consume German military's effective strength, and then find a way to reverse the situation. But now it seems that this is simply impossible.
"General, the Germany people's offensive is too fierce. Our Anti-tank Gun and rocket launchers have been destroyed by German aircraft and helicopters. We can no longer resist the Germany people's attack."
"General, let Armored Forces Mobilize go. Otherwise, Topsfield will soon be captured by Germany people."
5th Army Corps's generals began to persuade.
5th Armored Division, 41st Mechanized Infantry Division and 42nd Mechanized Infantry Division, this has become the last strength in the hands of Lieutenant General Lucian Truscott.
"Order 5th Armored Division, 41st Mechanized Infantry Division and 42nd Mechanized Infantry Division to enter the battlefield and attack the flanks of the Germany people!" Lieutenant General Lucien Truscott issued the order.
The mobilization of US military forces cannot be hidden from German military. German Air Force But there are a lot of planes circling in the sky.
"Order 8th Armored Division, 88th Armored Division, 73rd Mechanized Infantry Division and 74th Mechanized Infantry Division to fight and eat Armored Forces of Americans in one fell swoop!" Marshal Guderian gave the order.
