Chapter 856: Who wouldn't talk on paper
It soon became clear to Admiral Edward Dieter which of the enemy forces he was about to face: the British 10th Army and the Expeditionary French Army, and the American 2nd Army and the American 6th Army.
However, now Kesselring gave him the target task of encircling the British 10th Army, and the other British and American troops were not their main targets for encirclement and annihilation, so they could not concentrate heavy forces for counterattack.
As for the reorganized US 5th Army, the 15th Army Group, and the British 8th Army are still conducting amphibious landing operations in Sicily, and Montgomery and Patton are still conducting command operations in Sicily.
Therefore, the troops of these two famous generals are not the troops that Admiral Edward Dieter is considering getting rid of now.
And after Admiral Edward Dieter learned the information about the various British and American troops he was now facing, and before he could begin to think about how to redeploy and deal with it, Chen Yanlong sent him an urgent telegram from the Chancellery in Berlin.
The text of this telegram read: "Use your brains, Admiral Dieter! The rich and the rich play the way of fighting, the poor and the poor fighting methods; Suppress the enemy's disadvantage with my superiority, so as to win more with less, defeat the superior with inferiority, and win by surprise! ”
"In addition, we must not wait for the enemy to attack first, not our army to attack first to startle the snake, of course, an ambush is fine!"
"In the first half of the battle of Gustav and Cassino, it is necessary to focus on defense and killing the enemy, and consume a large number of enemy forces as soon as possible, so as to reduce the casualties of our officers and soldiers and preserve the combat strength of the troops!"
After reading the urgent and encrypted telegram that Chen Yanlong had suddenly sent to him, Admiral Edward Dieter was suddenly silent with a deep contemplative face, and fell into deep thought.
"The Führer always likes to send such boring military telegrams, who wouldn't talk on paper?"
After reading the telegram sent to him by Chen Yanlong, Admiral Edward Dieter said depressedly with disdain.
"But the most important thing for me at the moment is how to cooperate with the troops commanded by Kesselring to successfully encircle and annihilate the British 10th Army!"
"You must know that my opponent now is not the British 10th Army, but most of the forces of the US 2nd Army and the US 6th Army!"
"To be honest, I'm in a worse situation than Kesselring's troops!"
Admiral Edward Dieter was bored again, sighed softly, and muttered to himself.
"It's a pity that the 10th Army of Fittinghof and the 14th Army of Mackensen, which are under the command of Field Marshal Kesselring, have a total of 21 divisions and 450 aircraft, and they are not under my command to direct operations.
If it weren't for the advance of my current troops, it would definitely be much better than the current one! ”
"But in any case, the "Gustav Line", which I am responsible for, which runs through central Italy, must not be lost to the British and American troops in my hands! ”
"As long as they dare to seize the Gustav Line where I am stationed, then I will definitely not be relentless, and I will definitely pay a heavy price for the British and American troops!"
Admiral Edward Dieter sighed, and he fell back into a deep thought.
The Gustav Line is based on the Cassino Pass as the core, relying on the high mountain hazards, and is a standard easy to defend and difficult to attack.
On the Gustav Line, the Germans and the Anglo-American allies had already launched offensives one after another to try to break through the Gustav Line.
But it is a pity that the British and American troops gradually accumulated from the corpses of the officers and soldiers of the British and American units with relatively light casualties under the attack of the German army.
"It seems that when encircling and annihilating the British 2nd Army, I must find out the latest movements and profit models of the enemy!"
"And the 20th Mountain Army, which I personally commanded, will definitely not be able to lose to them here like this!"
Admiral Edward Dieter suddenly stared at him and said decisively.
He immediately entered into thinking about strategic countermeasures and counterattacks, as well as various things related to the encirclement and annihilation of the British 10th Army.
