The German army''s attack on St. John''s won in less than half a day, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the German generals. After all, St. John''s is thergest city on Newfounnd. Among other things, the port and various facilities here are very much needed by the German army.
"General, the British are really vulnerable. We took St. John''s easily. Now, the British can only hold on to the western part of the ind. At least, now the entire Avalon Penins has fallen into our I have it." Rear Admiral Pals,mander of the 3rd Marine Division, reported excitedly.
Ernst von Busch Admiral nodded, he was very satisfied with the victory of the 3rd Marine Division. Of course, this waspletely within his expectations.
After all, thebat effectiveness of the German Marine Corps was already higher than that of the British Army. In addition, they also received strong fire support. Among other things, the fire support provided by the navy''s naval guns and carrier-based aircraft, as well as arge number of armed helicopters, is enough to crush the British. If the Marine Corps cannot easily defeat the British under such circumstances, it will really be a failure.
"Let the 4th Divisionunch an attack on the west of Newfounnd. The 5th Division has also begun tond. Starting tomorrow, the 6th and 7th Divisions will also start tond. This time, we must take Newfounnd within a week. Find!" Admiral Ernst von Busch ordered.
"Yes, general. However, general, I don''t think it is necessary for the 6th and 7th divisions tond in St. John''s. Their heavy equipment can bended in St. John''s. But other troops can directlynd in the western city of Newfounnd. .With the support of our powerful fleet firepower and carrier-based aircraft firepower, the British can''t resist our attack at all. Instead of letting the troops advance along the rough road, it is better tounch anding operation directly from the sea. In this case, the speed It will also be faster and easier," Major General Pars suggested.
Admiral Ernst von Busch thought about it, this is indeed a very good way.
Now there are not many British troops on Newfounnd. One infantry division and one infantry brigade were wiped out by the Germans sessively. Even if the British took the risk of sending reinforcements to Newfounnd, there were not many of them. In addition, the German Marine Corps has an absolute advantage in firepower. This allowed the German troops to easily defeat the British troops stationed on the ind no matter where theynded.
And, as the Antic Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet rushed to Newfounnd, the German Marine Corps was able to obtain stronger fire support. In addition, in the previous battles, the performance of the British Army was so bad that it was simply vulnerable. This also made General Ernst von Busch determined to adopt this suggestion.
Beginning on November 25, the 6th and 7th Divisions of the German Marine Corpsnded in the north and south of Newfounnd sessively. These forcesnded with the assistance of powerful fleet fire and carrier aircraft. The British army on Newfounnd couldn''t resist at all, and was easily defeated by the German army.
The current British development of Newfounnd is very low, and only the coastal areas are inhabited. The hintend deep in the ind is almost no man''snd. This also made the German army upy the entire Newfounnd Ind after capturing the coastal area.
The British troops stationed in Newfounnd were either wiped out by the Germans, or they chose to flee back to Canada at night.
On November 27, the entire ind of Newfounnd fell into the hands of the German army. Two days faster than the expected speed of the German army.
That night, Marshal Manstein, Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff of Germany, together with Marshal Raeder, Minister of the Navy, and Marshal Albert Kesselring, Minister of the Air Force, reported the good news to Emperor Qin Tian.
After learning that the German marines had upied Newfounnd, Qin Tian also seemed very happy.
"It seems that even though it waspletely defeated in thest world war, thebat effectiveness of the British Army has not improved much, and it is still so weak!" Qin Tian sighed.
"Your Majesty, thebat effectiveness of the British Army may not be strong, but the main reason is that our Marine Corps is too powerful. This makes the British vulnerable." Marshal Manstein said.
Hearing such words, Qin Tian couldn''t helpughing.
"So, gentlemen, now we have upied Newfounnd. The first phase of the battle can be regarded as a victory. So, what do you n to do next?" Qin Tian asked.
"Your Majesty, the Air Force''s engineering force hasnded on Newfounnd and has begun to expand the two airfields on the ind. And, we are starting to build more airfields. We have already nned to send two fighter jets from China to Newfounnd. Find, take on the air defense of Newfounnd. In this way, the navy''s aircraft carrier formation can be liberated." Marshal Albert Kesselring said.
Qin Tian nodded, now Newfounnd''s air defense and air support are heavily dependent on the aircraft carrier formation. This also restricted the German Navy''s aircraft carrier formation to the waters near Newfounnd. If the Air Force can take over the air defense of Newfounnd, it will undoubtedly free up the aircraft carrier formation.
"The progress of the Air Force''s airport construction on Newfounnd really needs to be elerated. Although we caught the British and Americans by surprise this time, they have already reacted. Next, I am afraid there will be a big battle to be fought. So , Our strategic bombing of the United States must also beunched as soon as possible." Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Albert Kesselring replied.
"Your Majesty, themander of the Marine Corps, Admiral Busch, has proposed a new n. He believes that thebat effectiveness of the British Army is vulnerable. Although the US military has begun to send reinforcements northward. However, due to the weather, it has not yet been able to reach the front line. Therefore, Admiral Busch believes that we, the United Kingdom, seize this opportunity andunch anothernding operation. Starting from Newfounnd, we will capture Cape Breton Ind and Prince Edward Ind. Even, if the conditions are ripe, we can further capture In the northern part of the Nova Scotia penins, build a bridgehead on the maind of Canada. In this way, after our army arrives, we can use this as a base to quickly advance to the maind of Canada." Marshal Manstein said.
Qin Tian''s eyes fell on the map hanging on the wall. After the German armyunched its attack on North America, the map on the wall was reced by a detailed map of North America.
"Are you sure of sess?" Qin Tian asked.
"Your Majesty, I am sure." Marshal Manstein replied.
"Then go do it!" Qin Tian chose to support.
