"Marshal, we're still a day and a half away from Turton."

When Wang Weiyi caught up with the large force commanded by General Caroner, he heard this return: "At present, the battle at Teton is very fierce, and from the information we have received, the pressure on the Steinman battle group and the British Royal First Division is unimaginable, and the Americans have formed a strong force and launched a non-stop attack on Teton, but so far, Tetun is still in our hands, but the British forces look like they are about to collapse." ”

Wang Weiyi's brows furrowed.

He also knew a little bit about Terton's situation from other places, and since the Dutch Stormtroopers in Shmalin were also attacked, they could not give Terton the most direct support, which caused Turton to fight alone.

And there seemed to be something wrong with the British Royal 1st Division, which caused great displeasure among the German soldiers. But to be sure, the British have been able to fight so far, and you can't expect each of them to be as brave as the German soldiers.

"General Caron, what do you think we should do now?" Wang Weiyi suddenly asked such a question.

General Cullonne didn't have time to think: "Immediately gallop in the direction of Terton with all the main force, and start a decisive battle with the American army there." ”

"I think differently." Wang Weiyi suddenly said: "I've been thinking about a question, why would the Allies be so interested in Terton? Just because the loss of Terton directly threatens Hamburg? No, that's not how I see it. I wonder if there is a possibility that such a situation will arise. Are the Allies ready to choose Terton as the location for the decisive battle? ”

"Where is the decisive battle?" Caron was visibly stunned: "The Allies are ready to choose Terton?" ”

Wang Weiyi nodded: "Why not?" In Berlin, their numerous attacks were defeated, there. We have the Constantine base as our strong support, and Berlin as our backer. And everybody knows how important Berlin is to us, so everybody can fight without sacrificing, but once we leave Berlin, maybe it's a different story, and we can't get that support anymore, is that what the Americans want to see? ”

Caron unconsciously fell into deep thought...... After a moment he looked up. He nodded quietly...... Yes, what Marshal Ernst said was not unreasonable, maybe the Americans really thought so......

However, now the question is. No reinforcements for Teton? Let the Germans and the British fight there alone? With no reinforcements, Turton definitely couldn't hold out for long.

"Attack Fort Duclan!" Wang Weiyi suddenly gave such an order: "From Ducran Castle to Hanover, we will strike at the enemy's soft underbelly!" General Karonl, the Allies concentrated their main forces on the line from Terton to Shmalin. At Fort Dukland there was only one division of New Zealand and one brigade of marines of the American army. In terms of troops, we have an absolute advantage! ”

Kalon soon understood what the marshal meant, which was to attack the weak points of the Allies, break the wishful thinking of the Americans, and then take the initiative of the war into his own hands.

But Karon still hesitated: "Marshal, the premise of this is that the defenders of Teton must be able to hold on!" ”

"Then let them hold on!" Wang Weiyi's words were non-negotiable: "Tell them that we will break the enemy's dreams, that we will achieve the final victory in the battle, and that Tetun will be the decisive city." I need them to be able to hold on there, I need them to hold out there until the last soldier is at the bottom! ”

"Yes. I'll give them orders at once! Caron didn't hesitate any longer.

Once Field Marshal Ernst had made up his mind, no one could shake his determination......

The Ernst battle group suddenly changed its march, and instead of continuing towards Terton, they turned straight and headed for Fort Duchland.

The General Staff in Berlin soon became aware of Field Marshal Ernst's plan, and they had no objection to the marshal's plan, which was a kind of trust, and they knew very well that since the marshal was ready to do so, he must be fully sure...... And all they had to do was to assist the marshal in all his plans......

The Luftwaffe took off urgently, and they still had a great responsibility for the defense of Berlin, and they provided the most important help to the Ernst battle group despite the danger......

It is the consensus of everyone in Germany to devote all their efforts to help Ernst at any cost......

The Allies soon gained insight into the purpose of the German reinforcements, which gave the Allied commander-in-chief, Westmoreland, another headache. It is important to know that a decisive battle with Baron Skeleton in Turton to make him lose his original advantage is a battle plan that he and President William personally discussed.

But now it is clear that this plan has been discovered by the Skeleton Baron......

Fort Dukland and Hanover must not be lost, otherwise this will pose a huge threat to the flank of the US troops who are attacking Teton, and directly shake the entire combat plan.

Westmoreland personally gave orders to the New Zealand general, Major General Ellington, at Fort Duclan, and the American general, Brigadier General Duby at Hanover, to stop the German attack at all costs, to make the Germans abandon their plan to capture the two cities, and to drive them back to the Terton line......

Truth be told, it's not that easy to do...... They faced a Baron of Skeletons......

The god-like invincible baron......

Major General Ellington, who was at Fort Duclan, was not too sure, and he, like all Allied commanders, had a deep fear of the baron. He was reluctant to face the Baron in a face-to-face duel, and he knew that he was not very sure of his success.

But in any case, the Allied command has already given this order to itself, what can he do?

He also has the same mentality as Brigadier General Dolby. The brigadier general was equally reluctant to face a direct attack from the Germans, which would put him and his troops in a vicious battle.

He proposed to the commander-in-chief Westmoreland to withdraw the troops of New Zealand to Hanover. The proposal to rely on Hanover for a decisive battle with the Germans was immediately rejected by Westmoreland.

Westmoreland believed that the most important thing was to resist and constantly deplete the vitality of the Germans. Instead of giving Fort Dukran to the Germans without a fight......

Truth be told, Westmoreland's views are not overly reprehensible, and there is no fixed pattern for war......

Just when Brigadier General Duby was in a big headache, the Germans had already appeared near Fort Dukran......

Barely a minute of hesitation, the Ernst battle group soon launched a direct attack on Fort Duclan.

This was the first battle the New Zealand 7th Marine Division had encountered since stepping onto the battlefield, and unfortunately their first battle was met by Ernst Marines. A powerful German army under the direct command of Field Marshal Bream.

If they can survive. They will be a group of soldiers with rich combat experience, but only if they can survive the brutal battlefield......

The German attack came so quickly and violently that it barely gave the New Zealanders any time to adjust...... The flames of war engulfed the entire Fort Duqueland in an instant......

This is a city with a rich history in Germany. After the Allied landing, the Germans here put up a heroic and stubborn resistance, and together with a small number of local Wehrmacht soldiers and police, they resisted the Allies for a week. Until the ammunition is exhausted, it will never be able to continue to hold on. Only then was the surrender announced.

There was no shame in such a surrender, and it was enough to make all the German soldiers and civilians in Fort Duchland proud......

"Wehrmacht Major Kakka died on the seventh day, and in fact he was seriously wounded on the first day," said Terve......, the leader of the resistance group who had made contact with the Germans, with some sadness: "At that time, I was fighting with Major Kakka, who was the police chief of Fort Duclan, and I persuaded the major to retreat, but the major flatly refused me, telling me that as long as he did not receive an order to retreat from his superiors. He had to stay here until he died...... Marshal. The major fulfilled the oath of a German officer......"

"He's a brave major." Wang Weiyi said calmly: "If it weren't for you telling me, none of us would have known that there was such a brave major here who fought bravely. Germany will remember theirs. Telvi, what about you? Why did you form a resistance group? ”

Turvi perked his spirits: "Before the major left us, he asked me to withdraw from Fort Dukran with some of the soldiers and police, and he told me that the German counteroffensive would come sooner or later, and we must retain the vitality of the army, and the German army that counterattacked needs our help." ”

"Yes, we need your help very much......" The cannon sound continued to sound in Fort Duclan, but this did not affect Wang Weiyi in the slightest: "Tell us everything I should know about Fort Duclan." ”

"Fort Duclane is actually very difficult to defend...... "There's no solid offensive here, it's not an ideal defensive battleground." As far as I know, the New Zealanders in the city are not very combat-ready, they don't have a lot of artillery and tanks, and I think you are completely free to choose who to attack, and you can even attack in multiple places, so that the New Zealanders are exhausted, and they will soon be forced to abandon this place. ”

"I want the exact location of the attack, not these ambiguous data ......" Wang Weiyi's tone became stern: "Tell me, Telvi, where exactly should we attack!" ”

Turvi thought in his heart: "Yes, Marshal, the west, the west is the emptiest place in the entire defense of Fort Duclan!" ”

"General Caronl, order the Kolk Tank Assault Group to take the lead in the west! Order the Royal 2nd Division to launch a surprise attack on the New Zealanders head-on! The Großdeutschland regiment was thrown into battle half an hour later! Wang Weiyi quickly gave such an order......

For the first time, the Kolk tank assault group appeared on the western front of Fort Duclan......

There was nothing wrong with the information provided by Telvi, and the defensive line to the west was the weakest point in the whole of Fort Duclan. Over here. Major Ellington arranged only a small number of troops, a battalion of infantry plus an artillery battery.

The main German forces suddenly shifted from the frontal battlefield to the Western Front, which caught Major General Ellington by surprise. He had to order his troops on the Western Front to hold out to the end, and at the same time to devote his reserves to the end of the war.

From the very beginning of the battle, the New Zealanders were put on the back foot......

The appearance of a large number of elite Waffen-SS Kolk tank assault groups of the "Leopard IX" and "Destroyer 3" types was disastrous for the defenders here. They simply did not have any experience in coping with these huge tank assault groups.

The artillerymen fired their cannons indiscriminately, smashing shells aimlessly into the positions, trying to stop the terrible German attack in this way...... However, such shelling does not seem to be able to achieve any substantial results...... They simply had no way to stop the constant and powerful advance of German tanks......

As for the infantry, their situation was even more embarrassing...... The soldiers cowered in their positions, enduring shells and machine-gun bullets whizzing over their heads...... At the stern urging of the officer. They reluctantly threw themselves into the fight back......

It's not a wise choice to have a group of soldiers who are on the battlefield for the first time to deal with the enemy's elite assault groups...... But what better way do you get Major General Ellington?

The battle lasted less than twenty minutes. The New Zealanders suffered heavy casualties, while the U.S. Air Force in the direction of Hanover was slow to appear...... It's frustrating and infuriating, and what they need most now is direct support from the Americans!

But. Brigadier General Duby in Hanover demanded that the New Zealanders hold out at least a week at Fort Duclan.

My God. Americans are really crazy...... Here, the New Zealanders could not hold out for even two days......

The arrival of reserves also did not make any difference in the situation of the battle. They were also caught up in a giant meat grinder...... When they arrived on the battlefield, they had to meet the overwhelming bombardment of artillery shells from the Germans...... The power of the German tanks and assault guns is something that only those who have experienced it can appreciate......

In the afternoon, Major General Ellington had to give the order to abandon his positions on the Western Front, which completely disrupted the defensive plan for Fort Duchland, which he had drawn up......

On the first day of the fighting, the entire outer front of Fort Duchland fell into the hands of the Germans, and the New Zealanders of Fort Duqueran had to face urban warfare...... In fact, urban warfare is still advantageous for the defending side, but the New Zealanders do not know how to use their advantages......

The Germans simply did not give them any time to breathe and adjust...... The Germans who broke into Fort Duchran quickly launched a ferocious assault on the entire city......

Day 1. This is just the first day of the battle!

"I need to end the fight by this time tomorrow!" Wang Weiyi, who appeared at Fort Duclan, gave such an order.

The course of the battle satisfied him, but he couldn't afford to spend much time here. At Terton, the German soldiers were fighting a bloody battle, and the Ernst cluster would have been able to accomplish their objectives a day earlier, and would have been able to relieve Terton's defenders a day earlier.

At this time, the situation on the whole battlefield was actually very strange, on the line from Terton to Schmaling, the Allies were attacking, and the Germans were on the defensive. However, on the line from Fort Duchland to Hanover, the Germans were attacking and the Allies were passively defensive.

Now it will be up to the attackers and defenders to see who is more determined to win this war......

The terrible roar of bullets filled the whole castle, but a very "interesting" phenomenon occurred, and the Germans in the castle were not afraid of it, but walked out of their homes.

They have been waiting for this day, and they have not forgotten what Major Kakka once told them before his death:

The German army will definitely come back! Germany will never give up every inch of its own land!

Now, Major Kakka's words have been verified to the best extent......

The Germans at Fort Dukran tried to give the Germans whatever help they needed, they actively pointed out the direction to the Germans, actively told them the most suitable offensive line, and did their best to point out the enemy's defensive positions. Each of them is doing their best for the restoration of Fort Duclan......

This is the great cohesion of a nation......

The New Zealanders are very passive here, they have no idea how to use their advantages in urban warfare, how they should block the enemy's terrible attacks, and they don't even know what will happen to them in a war like this one.

Why do they have to work for the Americans? What good would it do New Zealand to occupy all of Germany?

Unfortunately, no one could answer their question, and the only thing they could do was wait in the dark for death to come.

Waiting, many times is the most painful thing, but it is also the most helpless thing! (To be continued......)
