930 Reinforcements
"Although I understand!" Zhang Chi replied: "But what can I do?" If so, the Germans should have already fought into the American lines and started a melee, right? ā
"Yes!" Eisenhower replied: "That's why our warships and warplanes are useless, otherwise these Germans would have been blocked out by us a long time ago!" ā
"What do you want us to do? Checkmate! Zhang Chi asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Here's the thing!" Eisenhower said: "Although the vanguard of the Germans has broken through our lines, their main forces are still stranded in the floodplain because there are still many of our men in the floodplain, and the roads are muddy, and I hope you will give them a little from behind, so that they will not have enough forces to break through to the coast!" ā
Zhang Chi looked at the map, then shook his head and said: "General, you must know that the troops I can control are either the Zoaf Corps or the Chinese soldiers, if we attack the German army from behind...... That means we're going to turn our guns on American GIs, don't you think that will cause even more confusion? ā
Eisenhower couldn't help but be stunned, he only thought that the troops led by Zhang Chi were his own people, but he didn't expect this.
Zhang Chi is right, although the sky is already bright now, but in such a tense place on the battlefield, and the American GIs still pay attention to firepower, they often will fight randomly regardless of the three seven twenty-one in a face, not to mention that the German army stationed in Normandy itself has many elements...... In addition to the Germans, there were also Soviets such as the Georgian regiment, and there were also puppet troops recruited from France, who knows if the Chinese army and the Zoaf regiment were part of the German army?
But Eisenhower was not in the mood to care so much at this time, and he ordered: "Major General, in any case, it is much better than letting them hit the coast and destroy our arms and supplies, and we have no choice, as for the question of identification...... Find a way to fix it! Immediately launch an offensive against the Germans, understand? Go now, or it'll be too late! ā
Zhang Chi could understand why Eisenhower was in such a hurry.
On the surface, the most important thing about this landing operation was to deceive the Germans and take Normandy, but in fact it was more important to store more supplies in Normandy...... Supplies are the life of the American and British troops, and they need sufficient supplies at all times, and two days later the storm will come again to cut off the logistical supply lines between Normandy and the British.
Therefore, if there are no sufficient supplies, not only will the previous gains not be consolidated, but the hundreds of thousands of troops who are about to land will be annihilated by the German army.
To put it simply, these materials are related to the life and death of the Allied forces, including the Chinese army and the Zoaf Corps, and the German army must not be allowed to destroy them.
But what can Zhang Chi do?
Did you send the troops directly to copy the rear of the German army, as Eisenhower ordered?
Zhang Chi knew that this was the next step.
This is not that Zhang Chi is worried about casualties, because this batch of materials also has a direct interest in the Chinese army and the Zoaf Corps, if the casualties can be saved...... Zhang Chi will not hesitate to do it.
The problem lies in the fact that Zhang Chi has had the experience of fighting "infiltration warfare" many times before, and he knows that in this case, the two "foreign" forces will only get more and more chaotic if they are mixed in, and the German army will have more opportunities to fish in troubled waters, not to mention that chasing the German army's ass and beating them in the back may not be able to stop them from continuing to advance.
In this respect, Eisenhower's order smacks of "rushing to the doctor."
Of course, we can't just sit idly by now, and we must solve it as soon as possible, otherwise the supplies piled up on the coastline will be lost.
At this time, Zhang Chi's eyes fell on a outside the window of the TV station, so he called Armand, a Frenchman in charge of the operation of the TV station, with great anticipation.
"What is that levee for?" Zhang Chi asked.
"It's for water!" Armand replied with a dancing hand.
The French are in the habit of gesturing while talking, as if they wouldn't be able to speak if they weren't allowed to gesture.
"I know it's for water!" Zhang Chi said: "What kind of water is it used for?" I mean...... Where does the water from this dam go when it is released? ā
"Didn't flow anywhere, General!" Armand replied: "It's the low-lying land, you know, Rommel used this water to prevent you from being airborne in the low-lying land...... But it is clear that he failed! ā
Zhang Chi almost jumped up with excitement, and sure enough, as he thought, Rommel wanted to divert sea water into the low-lying area to prevent the Allies from being airborne, so he would encounter a problem: this water could not be put too much or too little.
If you put too much, you will flood the road to the German line and even the German line.
Too little is obviously not going to make a difference.
Rommel needed to construct a dam to control the amount of water that would be put into the low-lying areas.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chi did not hesitate, and immediately ordered his fellow villagers: "Go and blow up the embankment immediately!" ā
"Yes!" The townsfolk answered, and without saying a word, they went up with a few people.
"Blow up the dike?!" General Juan said: "Major General, I know you want to crush those Germans, but there are still many Americans in the low-lying areas!" ā
"Don't worry!" Zhang Chi replied: "You may not know those Americans, they may not be able to fight, but for swimming and surfing in the sea...... They're all good at it! ā
General Zhu An nodded: "They are amphibious landing troops, most of them have relevant training, and they may even wear lifejackets!" ā
"Yes!" Zhang Chi said: "So this will not cause much loss to the US army, but the German army ......"
General Juan nodded in agreement.
It didn't take long for a report from a fellow villager to come from the walkie-talkie: "General, everything is ready, please instruct!" ā
"Detonate!" Zhang Chi ordered.
This was not the time to waste time, and he didn't even have time to inform the American troops in the low-lying areas to prepare...... Not to mention informing those American troops, even Eisenhower didn't say hello.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, a cloud of smoke soon erupted from the embankment, and the sea water poured out of the breach, and then the gap became bigger and bigger, and the sea water followed more and more, and finally the whole embankment collapsed, and the sea water rushed towards the low-lying ground like a galloping horse.
At the same time, Zhang Chi received a call from Eisenhower: "Major General, what's going on?" They said they didn't see any reinforcements! ā
"No!" Zhang Chi replied: "I have already sent reinforcements!" ā
