The attack of the Ernst cluster has begun!

The whole of Fort Duclanan was in flames, the earth was burning, and the city was trembling. And this was a sacrifice that all Germans had to suffer in Dukranburg.

In the war to defend the country, the interests of the individual do not matter, the most important thing is to allow the nation to maintain its independence and freedom. And this is also the most difficult, but it must be done.

All the Germans were thrown into battle, which made the New Zealand soldiers who were still there feel great fear, and they did not know why they were in such a situation, and they did not know why they wanted to participate in a war that did not belong to them.

But when it comes to this, there is no turning back. Death or surrender is their only choice.

Major General Ellington knew that his worst moment had come, and that if he instinctively wanted to resist to the end, the truth told him how difficult it would be to do so.

He had never seen the German soldiers, and he had never seen the German soldiers attacking...... He knew that he and his troops would not be able to hold out for much longer......

Brigadier General Dolby in Hanover once again rejected Ellington's request for reinforcements, much to Ellington's anger but helplessness.

Although it was the first time he participated in the most real battle, he still understood one truth, if Fort Duclan was lost, could Hannover continue to hold on?

Unfortunately, Brigadier General Dolby did not understand this...... Maybe soon the nightmare will befall Brigadier General Dolby......

The gunfire continued throughout the night at Fort Duclan. The sound of gunfire everywhere made the New Zealand soldiers feel a great sense of despair, and the falling companions made them frightened and frightened, and they did not know when they would be like this.

The vast majority of them can't stand such nightmares. So many chose to lay down their arms. Although this is detrimental to the honor of a soldier, what could be better than to live?

By daybreak, nearly 1,000 New Zealand soldiers had been killed and a large number had surrendered, leaving Ellington with a choice to make.

The supporting planes are not visible, and the supporting reinforcements are also not visible...... Even more desperate than war is the abandonment of friendly forces.

Ellington was reluctant to continue such a war...... He contacted the German side. expressed his willingness to surrender, and the Germans quickly gave him the most positive response:

Before 11 p.m., if the 7th Division of the New Zealand Army is able to lay down its arms. Then their lives will be guaranteed to the maximum.

Enough, it's enough to have such promises...... Ellington ordered all New Zealand soldiers to stop fighting at 8 o'clock.

It was also a great relief for the New Zealand soldiers...... They came out of the makeshift position one after another, and they threw away their weapons one after another...... Being alive is always the thing that most people pursue......

The battle for Fort Duchran was over. The Ernst cluster won the battle with little effort!

But there's nothing too much to be happy about. The New Zealanders were weak in combat, and they were simply not prepared for the first war they faced, and the upcoming attack on Hanover was the most important thing.

The Americans would have given up their allies' forces, but Westmoreland would never allow the 21st Marine Brigade to suffer the same fate.

They will defend Hanover at any cost......

Wang Weiyi made good on his promise, he did not embarrass the New Zealand soldiers who surrendered, and he even had a brief conversation with Ellington.

Ellington was as happy to see Baron Alexon as he was when he didn't have to face death.

"I think maybe I'll be released when the war is over......," Ellington told him frankly, "but I'm not going to wear this uniform again." The war is completely different from what I imagined, and I will do what I enjoy doing more. I will always forget about the war. And I will tell my children to stay away from the cursed war forever......"

Forever away from the cursed war...... War cannot be a pleasant memory for anyone......

After the liberation of Fort Dukran, the Berlin General Staff and the Führer of the German Empire, Adolf Murphy. Hitler sent a congratulatory telegram at the first time, but Wang Weiyi didn't even have time to take a second look, and the whole plan was just beginning at this time.

In Hanover, an even more formidable enemy awaits you......

Brigadier General Dolby was ready – from the first minute the Germans entered Fort Dukran, Dolby knew that the enemy would soon be in Hanover.

He had plenty of planes and artillery at his disposal, and although he had only one brigade of troops, he was fully sure that he would be able to hold the enemy back here and force the Germans back to Terton.

However, he didn't know what kind of opponent he was facing at the moment......

At Fort Duclan, Wang ordered the construction of an airstrip for fighter planes to take off and fight. And he himself led the whole group, and kept approaching Hanover.

Time was of the essence, and he had to succeed in capturing Hannover before Turton could lose ground.

The huge fighting machine made a huge roar, and soon the US troops in Hanover would face their greatest challenge......

．．．．．．

When the first shell rang off in Hanover, Brigadier General Dolby knew that the most important moment of his life had arrived!

Either die here or build your immortality here - no soldier can resist the temptation of a defeated Skull Baron - which would make him the most famous general in the world!

Therefore, many people know that this is an impossible task, but they still go forward without hesitation......

What makes Dolby even happier is. He was reinforced by a regiment: the 126th Panzer Regiment of the U.S. Army, which was very important for him to be able to successfully defend Hanover.

Dolby chose to respond to the German forces in Hanover in a tough way. He ordered all the fighters to take off, and ordered all the artillery to fade their armor. Order the 126th Panzer Regiment to take the initiative to attack!

All this, he wanted to tell the Germans - Hanover, definitely not Duclanburg! The U.S. military is definitely not those soldiers of New Zealand!

"A good commander!" Facing the U.S. troops who took the initiative to attack, Wang Weiyi said lightly: "Then, let's completely defeat them." Tell Colonel Kolk that I will personally put the Iron Cross on him! ”

The Baron will personally wear the Iron Cross for himself - when Colonel Kolk of the Kolk tank assault group learns the news. His whole person is like a black panther that sees its prey, and it has become so fierce and terrifying!

The Kolk tank assault group, like their commander, turned into a group of Panthers!

Such an attack is undoubtedly the craziest ......

The 126th Armored Regiment of the US Army in the assault encountered the German Waffen-SS Kolk Tank Assault Group - Tank Battle, which refused to back down even a single step. Soon it broke out in Hanover!

In the face of the strangled tanks, those planes in the sky are temporarily useless, and only helicopter gunships can barely play some role, but such assistance. For the ground the disappointment is insignificant!

Both in tank performance and quantity. The Kolk tank assault group did not fall behind in the slightest, and even their tank performance far exceeded that of the American army.

Before the Second World War, German weapons were known for their advanced performance and excellent manufacturing, and after the Second World War, the Germans took this excellent quality to the limit. No country in the world can surpass them.

If it weren't for the traitors, led by Kloel, Germany would never have imagined a war on its own soil......

Now, it's time for a tooth for a tooth......

The 126th Panzer Regiment of the US Army had to face a terrible tank battle......

One by one, the tanks were destroyed in the counterfire. This is not the terrible crime, the most terrible thing is the fighting enthusiasm and determination of those Germans on the other side.

Often when a German tank is wrecked. The soldiers in those tanks would get out of the tanks, pick up infantry weapons, and shoot at the enemy. When they were in the tank, they knew that they were armoured. Having lost their beloved tanks, they treat themselves like ordinary infantrymen!

As long as the war has not stopped, the battle that belongs to them will never stop......

It's a belief that's hard for Americans to understand......

The U.S. 126th Armored Regiment was a little overwhelmed, and they began to feel fear in the face of those Panther-like enemies. Those rolling torrents of steel can't be stopped at all.

From the first minute of the outbreak of the tank battle, Wang Weiyi did not even ask about the situation of the battle of the Kolk tank assault group, and he knew very well that his subordinates had never let himself down.

They know how to fight, how to win. This is a group of soldiers that any commander needs!

Dolby, on the other hand, was completely different, he kept anxiously asking about the situation on the front line, but the situation reported to him was not optimistic.

Colonel Walkin of the 126th Panzer Regiment even made a request for retreat.

The colonel decided that it would be unwise to continue to engage in attrition with the enemy, since the Germans would outnumber their own troops in both tactics and morale, and if they continued, the 126th Pantry Regiment would soon lose the battle.

Brigadier General Duby, however, demanded that Walkin and his 126th Panzer Regiment must fight until the afternoon to buy as much time as possible for Hanover's defense.

Colonel Walkin couldn't help but curse the damned brigadier out loud in his heart...... He himself should have gone to the front line to see the incomparably tragic war...... He should have seen for himself how crazy the Germans' offensive had become......

Their own troops are suffering huge losses, and their own tanks are being scrapped one after another. One by one, their own soldiers are dying...... If you weren't on the front line, no one would know the cruelty and tragedy of the war in Ludao, and no one would know what kind of price Ludao was paying......

But Colonel Walkin couldn't help it. He was ordered to obey all orders given by Brigadier General Dolby, even if it turned out to be wrong......

Colonel Walkin's betrayal sparked all his spirit, if that was to be effective for the outcome of the war. But he knew he didn't have much time left......

The continuous fighting and the continuous casualties made every American soldier's nerves on the verge of collapse, and they really couldn't figure out why there were German soldiers in the world who were not afraid of war and death. It's a complete nightmare for them to wake up from.

The sound of artillery never stopped at all, and it was a terrible torture. With another tank platoon completely annihilated, Colonel Walkin, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally gave the order to evacuate the battlefield. Yes, he is well aware. This order will bring you something, but more importantly, you can't let the soldiers die in vain.

That's a crime – that's a crime in the truest sense of the word!

The 126th Armored Regiment of the U.S. Army was all evacuated from the battlefield, and the follow-up tasks were handed over to those planes...... And Colonel Walkin had to face the iron-colored Brigadier General Duby!

"Yes. In your opinion, this may be an act of cowardice. Colonel Walkin defended himself loudly, "But I suggest that you should see the crazy Germans with your own eyes." They are not human, yes, I can be sure that they are not human, they are a bunch of war machines. They are a bunch of black panthers who smell blood! ”

Black Panther – This was the first time Brigadier General Duby had heard someone describe the Germans in this way.

But that didn't calm the anger in his heart: "Colonel Wallkin. Since your retreat has ruined the entire battle plan, you must be held accountable for it! ”

"I'll take responsibility for that!" Colonel Walkin did not flinch in the slightest: "I can even go to a court-martial, and accept all the trials that the court has to offer me, but I can't joke with the lives of the soldiers." General, we are no match for the Germans at all, and here we can only die in vain! ”

This was the first time Brigadier General Dolby had heard someone speak to him...... He really should have shot Colonel Walkin, but in the eyes of the colonel, all he could see was calmness......

Yes. Frankly, Dolby swore he was not mistaken. It's an expression that comes when you think you've done the right thing.

"I don't know how to punish you yet." Dolby sighed: "Colonel, but what I want to tell you is that honor is more important to a soldier than anything, we can lose our lives, but we must not lose honor." Go back to the post you walked into, Colonel, and I hope the next battle will wash away your shame! ”

Colonel Walkin, however, did not see any shame in himself......

Dolby answered the phone with the Allied General Command, in which he reported to Commander-in-Chief Westmoreland about the day's war: "We have indeed suffered some setbacks...... Ah, don't worry, it's not that bad, yes, I can handle it, and I'm sure I'll be able to hold on to Hanover...... Colonel Walkin? He did well, and although he couldn't hold off the Germans, he did his best...... No, I'm not going to give him any punishment, and I suggest you forget about it...... I am sure that in the next combat battle, the colonel and his soldiers will show themselves to be more courageous than any of the troops......"

Dolby is also a commander who can defend the interests of his subordinates...... In fact, he also knew very well that if Colonel Walkin was punished in such a situation, it would be a serious blow to morale. In that case, why can't there be any other way to arouse the colonel's determination and enthusiasm to fight?

Sure enough, Colonel Walkin, who had been listening to the phone, had a grateful expression on his face...... He really didn't expect General Dolby to speak for himself like this......

"Next time, I'll die on the battlefield!" Colonel Hualkin solemnly said: "As you say, I will wash my shame in battle!" ”

Brigadier General Dolby smiled, knowing that he had not made the wrong choice......

．．．．．．

"Vulnerable, huh, marshal?" General Karon said cheerfully: "At this pace, I think we will soon take Hanover!" ”

Wang Weiyi's face didn't have any expression: "Do you really think so, general?" The Americans didn't use all their strength, they were still watching us, waiting for us to draw all our cards. General, the brutal battle has not yet begun, and I believe that when the sun rises tomorrow, it will be the real test for us! ”

General Caron immediately understood that he was overjoyed. Yes, blind optimism is a fatal mistake for any commander, and it will lead to a loss of judgment and even the outcome of the entire war.

"And we have to keep an eye on Terton." Wang Weiyi said slowly: "If Terton can't hold it, then no matter how big the victory we achieve here, it will be useless for the entire battle situation!" ”

Now, the battle that took place in Teton has become his main concern! (To be continued......)
