German officers generally believed that under the condition that the Allies had complete air supremacy, it would be difficult for the German army to effectively organize offensive operations and could only barely carry out passive defense.

It is true that Hitler chose December for the Ardennes counterattack because of the bad weather on the front during that month, which would weaken the superiority of the enemy's air force. Unfortunately, bad weather could not last forever, and once the skies cleared, the Germans would become targets for Allied fighters.

The third was that the German army's fuel could not support such a large-scale operation.

At that time, although the German army still stored a lot of strategic oil, it could not supply millions of troops on the eastern and western fronts for a long time.

Many German officers even believed that the Germans would only be able to maintain an all-out offensive for about seven days in the Ardennes counterattack. If a decisive victory cannot be achieved, the armored forces should be allowed to retreat. If the offensive is forcibly continued, the armored forces will collapse due to lack of fuel.

Hillette was unwilling to admit defeat or surrender.

He once said to his subordinates: It is enough to experience such a humiliating thing as surrender once (when the German army surrendered in World War I, Hitler, who was blinded by poison gas, wailed and cried in the field hospital). I will never surrender, never! Never! Let me accept the humiliation of surrender again, I would rather choose to swallow a gun and kill myself.

Determined not to surrender, Hitler naturally chose to hope for something, such as the fact that his army would still be able to repel the enemy.

At this time, Speer also seems to have given Hitler some encouragement.

Speer's tenure as Minister of Armaments and Wartime Production largely contributed to the miracle of German military production.

Speer believes that in 1944 Germany could produce 225 infantry divisions and 45 armored divisions of armament, which could equip 2.7 million troops. This is an unprecedented and staggering statistic!

At the same time, at the instigation of Goebbels, Hitler really believed that he still had 10 million troops, as well as 6 million people's stormtroopers (militias).

In fact, 10 million is just a figure on paper, covering almost all men between the ages of 18 and 40 in Germany. As for the people's stormtroopers, who organized teenagers, the elderly, and even women, they were simply a rabble and vulnerable.

Hitler believed that Britain and the United States had a great contradiction with the Soviet Union, as can be seen from Churchill's demand for a landing from Italy to keep Soviet troops out of Eastern Europe. Therefore, there is indeed a possibility that Germany will unilaterally cooperate with Britain and the United States. However, since the Normandy landings, Britain and the United States have been largely invincible, and the losses of Operation Market Garden were only due to adventure.

Under these circumstances, it was impossible for Britain and the United States to negotiate with Germany. The Germans had to inflict heavy losses on the British and American armies before they had a chance to sit at the negotiating table. If Britain, the United States and Germany had a unilateral ceasefire, Germany would have been able to concentrate all its efforts on the Eastern Front against the Soviet army. At a minimum, the Germans could keep Soviet troops out of their own territory.

This plan seems to make sense, although it is wishful thinking.

After the Chinese Northern Army sent troops to support, the opposing officers began to agree, and Hitler and Li Ming cooperated.

The war began in December, and the Germans planned to attack the Allies on three fronts, the first of which was the 6th SS Army, the 6th SS, the most elite unit of Germany on the right flank, the 1st SS Hitler Panzer Division, the 2nd ReichSS Panzer Division, and the 3rd Skull Panzer Division, and the 2nd Shabaab Panzer Division. 4 armored divisions with 640 tanks. In the center was the German 5th Army, which had 3 armored divisions (about 320 tanks) and 4 infantry divisions.

The left flank was the German 7th Army, which served as the flank protection of the 5th group, with only 3 National Grenadier Divisions, and one paratrooper division, which were the 352nd National Grenadier Division, the 276th National Grenadier Division, the 212th National Grenadier Division, and the 5th National Grenadier Division.

Germany 7th Army, commander General Brandenburg, Germany can be said to be the worst equipped 7th Army in the Aden counterattack, the entire army group only has 34 No. 3G assault guns, Hitler gave them the task of infiltrating and crossing the Ur River to establish a defensive line, resist the Allied counteroffensive, and cover the middle breakthrough of the 5th Army.

The First Army of the Northern Army, the Second Army, focused on defending against the attack of the Allied forces on the right flank, the First Division, the Third Wing, and the Fifth Wing of the Japanese Allied Army, assisting the SS Panzer Division in the offensive, the 20th Division of the 18th Army of the Korean Allied Army was reorganized into the Paris ** Army, the 17th Army was reorganized into the London ** Army, the First Front of the Burmese-Vietnamese Combined Army, the Second Front Army was reorganized into the ** Force, and the Italian military port was stationed in Rome, and Rome was stationed to defend the Allied aircraft.

However, all of this did not go so smoothly, and they were about to face the US 28th Infantry Division, the US 4th Infantry Division, and the 9th Panzer Division, which had much more troops than the Germans.

On December 17, 1944, the first day of the Battle of the Ardennes, the Germans flew 300 fighter sorties to cover the attacking German armored forces. The 7th Army began its offensive against the Americans, the 7th National Grenadier Division of the German 212th Army. The 212th National Grenadier Division, the only main force of the 7th Army at that time, was extremely experienced in combat, but the division only had 4 No. 3G assault guns to assist in the attack.

What the U.S. military didn't expect was that the German army, which had not had many troops on the battlefield, suddenly arrived in the follow-up reinforcements during the Allied counteroffensive, and the troops didn't know where to piece together the third wing of the Japanese Allied Infantry Division, the seventh wing of the death squad, and the Japanese army that the U.S. military was afraid of appeared on the European battlefield to surprise the U.S. military, and even more outrageous was that three divisions of the Chinese police independent division appeared on the left flank, and the Burmese-Vietnamese coalition army appeared on the right flank, and the subsequent Anglo-American allied commander saw an even more infuriating scene of the puppet army leader who surrendered in Asia, Zhang Jinghui, The European encirclement and suppression team formed by Wang Jingwei appeared with British soldiers and captured American soldiers, and a large number of Warsaw Workers' Party rebels marched to the US positions.

The Allies had no way to retreat 50 miles, and on December 17, Roosevelt, Churchill sent a telegram of condemnation to Chiang Kai-shek, and the old Chiang who had not received aid was also very angry, and replied that the Allies were killed immediately. On December 18, the U.S. army and the German army had a fierce battle, three U.S. divisions were killed and wounded, and then they were surrounded and surrendered by the police army, and the 300,000 troops of the U.S. army came to reinforce and the revolutionary army troops had a fierce battle, the Japanese allied army, the German allied army death squad attacked the Allied forces, and 170 U.S. fighter planes were attacked by the ** troops of the nearby revolutionary army.

Annoyed Churchill ordered to fire directly at the European encirclement and suppression brigade holding the British army, these people did not expect the British army to dare to fire a large number of British troops, the Warsaw Workers' Party fell and bled like a river, Wang Jingwei, Zhang Jinghui immediately said the opposite, fire at me, the Japanese Allied Army, the Korean Allied Army, the Vietnamese Allied Army, the Burmese Allied Army, the German Allied Army of more than 100,000 troops, more than 800 light and heavy machine guns, 2,700 grenadiers, 2,300 field artillery, fired, the explosion in front was loud and alarmed the SS Hillem, and the German Tiger tanks attacked, The 150 machine gun positions of the British position, including the surrounding tree belt machine guns, were all destroyed, and the 5th Flying Group of the US Air Force was intercepted by the ** unit of the Revolutionary Army in Berlin and all the troops were annihilated.

The 21st Brigade and 38th Brigade of the Soviet Belarusian Air Force on the Eastern Front in the north were attacked by Gao Zhihang's Combined Army, suffered heavy losses, withdrew from the battle for repair, and the 80,000 troops of the First Army of the Revolutionary Army in Warsaw began to counterattack and fought fiercely for a day and a night, and a large number of Soviet tank divisions were scrapped, and the First Army then withdrew to Warsaw and garrisoned, and did not continue the pursuit, the Arctic Ocean has Li's naval forces, submarine forces, and three large aircraft factories, and the polar bears will not attack the Trans-Siberian Railway for the time being, provoking a battle on the east and west.

The rout of the 106th Division of the US Army in the middle of the road led to three days for the US army to adjust its strength, the British army on the southern route basically drove back to the revolutionary army with heavy casualties, and the 9th Armored Division of the US Army was attacked by the German ** artillery and basically lost everything, a large number of tank chain barrels, tank turntables were scrapped, and the experienced tank divisions of the US army were lost.

On December 25, the Chinese, German and Italian forces turned from defense to offensive, completely controlling air supremacy, and a large number of advanced weapons were successively rolled off the assembly line to equip the revolutionary army's Northern Army troops.

After several battles, both sides won and lost, Churchill quickly ordered the start of domestic conscription, forced to organize 300,000 troops, Roosevelt also ordered conscription, and there were even anti-war protesters in the country, and then they were arrested by the U.S. federal police.

Roosevelt, Churchill asked other countries to send troops to the Soviet Union, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Commonwealth of South Africa, British India, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Greece, Turkey, Yugoslavia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Haiti, Paraguay, Uruguay, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Dominica, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Bolivia, Provisional Republic of Korea**, Philippine Federation, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt, Ethiopia, Liberia.

The head of the United States, Roosevelt, gave these countries weapons, equipment for free, and these countries sent troops, who made American industry strong and rich? The rich man, Roosevelt is not stupid, these countries want to sell their lives to Britain and the United States, so they simply tie up the chariot!

Several heads of state discussed that each country should send no less than 500,000 troops, Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin completely organized this meat grinder, and the Soviet army organized 3 million troops, and a larger battle began to be launched.

The U.S. military gave the Soviet army 100,000 planes, 20 aircraft carriers, 8,000 destroyers, 5 million machine guns and artillery pieces, 1 million trucks and automobiles, and Roosevelt provided a large amount of assistance to the Soviet Union and its allies, intending to launch a major campaign.
