In the Allied headquarters in London, Eisenhower received a telegram of the failure of Operation Market Garden, and his face immediately became gloomy, and Montgomery once again completely buried the elite Allied paratroopers who had been reorganized with great difficulty.

The last time the Allied paratroopers were almost wiped out in Normandy, Eisenhower used almost all the paratrooper reserves to rebuild the Allied paratrooper corps, these are good, these rebuilt paratroopers were buried by Montgomery, it seems that paratroopers are not a fun branch of the army, without superb command art, they can't play at all.

In order to break the deadlock in Germany's defense of the Maginot Line and the Siegfried Line, Eisenhower immediately convened a meeting of senior commanders to prepare to study the specific operational strategy for the next step.

Li Mo, the commander of the Western Front of the German army, was also holding an emergency meeting, because the pressure from Germany was increasing, countless German people were full of pessimism about the war situation on the Western Front, and some anti-war people were also more active, which Hitler could not bear, so he gave Li Mo the most severe war orders several times in a row.

Originally, Limer planned to force Eisenhower to attack the Maginot Line and the Siegfried Line, and then consume a large amount of Allied ammunition and vital forces on these two lines, but now because of the situation in Germany, it is no longer possible to use this tactic, so that Limer can only go head-to-head with the more than two million Allied troops who have landed in France.

This will undoubtedly bring more unknown factors to Limer's large-scale encirclement strategy, and even if this war can be won, it will deplete all the materials that Germany has saved in the near future, and at the same time, it will also seriously weaken Germany's strategic offensive capability in the future.

The "Troy" plan was implemented ahead of schedule, and Li Mo was also helpless. At this time, Germany was on the Eastern Front, on the Soviet battlefield, and spent a huge amount of strength to annihilate about half of the Soviet troops in Kursk, and the rest of the Soviet troops broke through. Then the Eastern Front began a new round of strangulation with the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union's human resources and natural resources, coupled with the unlimited support of Britain and the United States, the Eastern Front had become a protracted war and a war of attrition.

Could Hitler not be in a hurry? Of course, I was in a hurry. And now even the Western Front is losing ground one after another. The German army had already retreated to the Franco-German border area, and it was no wonder that the situation in Germany was not turbulent, and the war had to serve politics, which was eternal. Then all of Limer's strategies must be in Hitler's political interests. Launching the "Trojan Plan" in advance cannot be changed.

Five o'clock in the morning on September 28, 1941. Located in the headquarters of the Western Front in the fortress of Liège, it was busy, and the sound of telegrams. Calls came and went, and a staff team of more than 1,000 people was also working in an orderly manner, and all kinds of information would be summarized here and then presented to Li Mo, and these information would provide the most direct judgment for Li Mo's decision-making, and at the same time, these such a huge staff team would also provide logistics, troop deployment, and combat missions for the 3 million troops on the Western Front.

The importance of the staff team is obvious, Li Mo has always attached great importance to the training of the staff team, and it is not an exaggeration to say that these staff teams are directly related to the victory or defeat of the war, but fortunately, Li Mo has a primitive computer, and the logistics supply of various troops, the delivery of ammunition, and other tasks have become relatively easy to arrange.

At this time, the total of the Western Front is about to begin, the time is half past six in the morning, Moder is the commander-in-chief of the Maginot Line, and Moder's task is to hold the Maginot Line, because the one million German troops commanded by Moder are all reserves drawn from Germany, and the combat effectiveness is not strong, but the will to fight of these German troops is still very good, and they still have no problem holding the Maginot Line, at least after the Allies are surrounded, the desire to rush from the Maginot Line into the German mainland will not be realized.

The troops commanded by Moder were organized into Army Group Center, which consisted of eight reserve armored divisions with more than 1,200 aircraft of an air corps to support its operations.

The German army located in northern Italy has a total of 33 German divisions, with a total strength of about 550,000, these 33 German divisions have 23 German divisions that were originally stationed in Italy, and the other division is retreated from the Normandy area.

These thirty-three German divisions were organized into Army Group Left, which consisted of eight panzer divisions, and Limer also assigned them an air corps, which was mainly to cooperate with their blitzkrieg, and this one had about 1,200 aircraft.

Although the strength of Army Group Left was only 550,000, the ratio of armored divisions and air forces was the highest, and all their armored vehicles and trucks were the most numerous and occupied units, and those trucks were taken over from the Italians.

Because of the coup d'état in Italy, many Italian troops were disarmed, and Italian trucks, tanks, armored vehicles, and ammunition supplies were all used by Army Group Left, so Army Group Left was the most powerful force to be reckoned with.

The commander of Army Group Left was Marshal Rundstedt, deputy commander-in-chief of the Western Front, and Marshal Staunt was also a battle-hardened veteran who was a little conservative in commanding battles and liked to fight steadily, but this did not affect Stett's excellent military command ability.

The German army of 2.3 million men and 179 divisions in the Ardennes Forest was the largest army group ever assembled by Germany, even the three army groups attacking the Soviet Union.

The 2.3 million German troops were organized into the Right Wing Army Group, and it was Li Mo himself who commanded this force. The entire Right Sector Army Group consisted of twenty-four armored divisions with two aviation corps and a total of more than two thousand five hundred aircraft.

At this time, Li Mo had gathered more than 6,000 planes on the Western Front, and the three army groups used 5,000 planes, and the remaining more than 1,000 planes were reserve forces.

Li Mo let his troops Ninja Allied bombing for three months, Germany produced more than 6,000 planes in these three months, and the Eastern Front replenished more than 1,000 aircraft, and the rest of the aircraft and tanks were all transported by Li Mo to the Western Front.

This is almost a collection of all the essence of Germany's strength in one point, the Soviet battlefield in order to support the Western Front, can only temporarily consume each other, no one can destroy anyone, Germany's national strength determines that it is impossible to destroy two powerful opponents in two directions at the same time, that is an act of seeking death.

For the sake of the war on the Western Front, more than half of the more than one million Soviet troops who were encircled in Kursk had broken through, and if Li Mo had not transferred one million elite German troops from the Eastern Front, the Soviet Union would not have had a chance to break through, and there was no way to do so.

"Order General Brask to immediately attack from the north of the Netherlands with 300,000 men of Army Group G." (To be continued......)
