Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the Japanese army's three-pronged attack was repelled, after such a ferocious attack by the Japanese army, the US military's defense line in the Dilera Mountains was already cracked in many places, like a piece of porcelain full of cracks. As long as a little more was added,  Without any external force, it will be completely broken.

    The hundreds of thousands of U.S. soldiers on the defense line have been exhausted from the fighting and it is difficult to hold on any longer. The order of the Supreme Headquarters during the war was that the defensive troops of the Dilera Mountains should hold on for more than twenty days, but the fight has not ended until now.  In just the past ten days, the US military has paid a price of more than 150,000 casualties, with an average of more than 10,000 casualties every day.

    Lieutenant General Custer was in despair. Not only himself, but all the officers and soldiers on the defense line were exhausted to the extreme and reached the limit of endurance. After carefully thinking about the timing difficulties in the western battlefield, Lieutenant General Custer  It was decided to send a telegram to the highest wartime headquarters, requesting that the defense line of the Dilera Mountains be abandoned and the troops withdraw to the eastern region. Otherwise, the remaining hundreds of thousands of soldiers would die here!

    The reason why Lieutenant General Custer requested to abandon the defense line of the Dilera Mountains was another important factor, and that was the German attack in the south. He had seen military maps countless times, and he shuddered every time. Phoenix in the south was lost.  , the German troops were pointing at Denver and Cheyenne, and to the west of Denver and Cheyenne was Salt Lake City. With such a battlefield situation, wouldn't the defensive forces of the Delera Mountains become a target for the Japanese and German forces to attack from both sides?  target?

    Before Lieutenant General Custer's telegram was finished, Major General Held, Chief of Staff of the Defense Command, rushed in.  But he shouted at the top of his voice: "Commander, what good news! What great news!"

    "Good news?" Lieutenant General Custer looked at the uncharacteristic Chief of Staff in surprise, but muttered in his heart: "I'm sleepwalking. Ever since I came to the front line, I have been busy every day. How can there be any good news?  ?¡±

    Chief of Staff Held took a breath and said: "Commander, I just received a telegram from the wartime high command, our reinforcements are coming!"

    "Reinforcements? Where did the reinforcements come from?" Lieutenant General Custer shook his head with a wry smile as if he had heard a big joke.  Said: "Do we have any reinforcements?"

    Seeing that the commander did not believe it, Chief of Staff Held waved the telegram in his hand and said loudly: "Commander, it is absolutely true, they are Canadians, with more than 600,000 reinforcements from seven legions, and their vanguard is the first  The regiment's two infantry divisions and one heavy artillery brigade have arrived in the Granger area, which is only more than 70 kilometers away from Salt Lake City!"

    Lieutenant General Custer grabbed the telegram from the hands of the Chief of Staff and looked greedily. Sure enough, the content of the telegram was exactly the same as what Major General Held said. It was indeed the Canadians who reached out at the most critical moment.  To help, there are a huge force of more than 600,000 people in seven legions.  In this way, the Dilera Mountains line of defense.  It can ensure that the central and eastern territories of the United States are worry-free from the ravages of the Japanese!

    "God will never stop our America!" Lieutenant General Custer closed his eyes, enjoying the impact of the huge surprise, and two lines of tears quietly fell down.

    As more than 600,000 Canadian soldiers joined the Dillera Mountains defense line battlefield, the shaky US defense line finally stabilized. General Yamamoto also discovered that the defensive US military strength had suddenly thickened, and it seemed to be very cutting-edge.  State, even in the local direction, the US military troops, which have been in passive defense, launched several small-scale counterattacks!

    General Yamamoto was puzzled. The information that followed solved his inner doubts. The Canadians sent troops to join the war. In this way, the total strength of the US and Canadian troops on the front line of the Deillera Mountains combined was equal to the strength of the Imperial Army.  The difference is almost the same. The imperial army can no longer choose the direction of attack at will with its superior strength.

    With a long sigh, General Yamamoto had no choice but to change his style of play and ordered his troops to change the tactics of high-intensity and high-density attacks. He used artillery and air superiority to mainly consume the effective strength of the US and Canadian troops, without seeking to quickly break through the US defense line.

    As a result, the plan to seize Denver and Cheyenne before the Germans, and then control the central region of the United States, came to nothing. General Yamamoto was filled with hatred, but he had no choice. The only solution was for the Germans to capture Phoenix after  , detached some troops and quickly moved north to attack Salt Lake City from behind.

    For this reason, after careful discussion with Chief of Staff Minamino, General Yamamoto decided to send a major general officer as his special envoy as the commander of the North American Operations Command of the Empire of Japan. He rushed to Santa Fe in the southern United States with a personal letter to meet him.  See Marshal Rommel, commander of the German South American Army Group, and request the assistance of friendly forces to attack Salt Lake City.

    No matter whether Rommel is willing to lend a helping hand or not, he must give it a try. Moreover, according to the agreement between the two countries, both sides have the obligation to support and cooperate with friendly forces in operations, and his request is not excessive!

    ??Speaking from the heart???General Yamamoto was never willing to show weakness or ask for help from Marshal Rommel. Marshal Rommel wanted to compete with General Yamamoto, and General Yamamoto didn't have this intention. Both of them were arrogant people.  Each represents the leader in their own field, secretly trying to get lucky, and starting training with Americans. It is normal to be dissatisfied with each other!

    But in the face of the interests of the empire, the more than one million elite elite troops of the empire are not trapped by the US military defense lines. They drool at the sight of the great rivers and mountains in the central and eastern United States. Personal competitiveness and honor and disgrace are irrelevant. As long as Rommel is willing to agree,  When sending troops north to attack Salt Lake City, what would it matter if General Yamamoto just shouted "Be convinced!"

    The words of his close friend General Minamino made General Yamamoto feel much better, "Yamamoto-kun, you are a man only if you can bend and stretch! You bow your head temporarily, but what you get in exchange is huge benefits for the empire. After the war is over, your efforts, Yamamoto-kun, will be  He is infinitely respected by everyone from His Majesty the Emperor to ordinary subjects of the empire!¡±

    Rommel was not a fool. After meeting General Yamamoto¡¯s special envoy and reading his handwritten letter, he immediately understood the Japanese¡¯s little thoughts. From the bottom of his heart, Marshal Rommel was very grateful to the Canadians for their critical moment.  At that time, it intervened in the American battlefield. In this way, the Japanese could be blocked at the defense line of the Delera Mountains, and the Japanese could not covet the central and eastern areas of the United States.

    As for the hundreds of thousands more Canadian soldiers in the subsequent battles, Marshal Rommel didn't take it to heart at all. As long as he sent a telegram asking for help, the Marshal would immediately send millions of elite troops, but there was no such thing.  If necessary, the millions of soldiers in his hands are enough. He is bound to win the central and western regions of the United States!

    Marshal Rommel entertained General Yamamoto's special envoy with a very high standard, which was enough to show respect to the Japanese. He downed several bottles of Munich beer and made the dizzy special envoy feel the deep love between allies.  Houyi, I feel warm in my heart!

    Then, Marshal Rommel told the excited special envoy, ¡°I need to report all matters related to fighting in the United States to the General Staff of our country, especially major matters involving cooperation between your and our militaries. Therefore,  The move north to attack Salt Lake City still needs approval from the country, so please wait patiently, Mr. Special Envoy!¡±

    The Japanese envoy expressed his understanding that Commander Yamamoto had to do the same thing. He was also deeply moved when the famous German general, a field marshal, specially explained it to him!

    Marshal Rommel did indeed send a secret telegram to the F¨¹hrer. In the telegram, he not only reported the Japanese request, but also added his own analysis, specifically stating that after achieving the first stage of the attack, there was a conscious pause.  The main purpose of attacking was to consolidate the occupied area and eliminate the US troops in the encirclement.

    After seeing the telegram sent by Rommel, the German head of state Hitler nodded repeatedly and said happily to the chief of the general staff, Marshal Strongs: "Rommel really lived up to expectations, well done! Proper deployment, focusing on Germany's fundamental interests."  , the central and eastern regions of the United States must be included in the territory of Germany, this cannot be changed!¡±

    Marshal Strongs was concerned about another thing and reminded: "F¨¹hrer, the Japanese have now asked us to send troops north to attack Salt Lake City. According to the agreement signed between the two countries, it is difficult for us to refuse. How to reply?"  Japanese?"

    It was a good thing that Marshal Strong didn't mention it. As soon as he mentioned it, Hitler became furious and sneered again and again: "The Japanese are too greedy. The vast land in the western United States is not enough to satisfy their appetite."  ?"

    After pondering for a while, Hitler was given the opportunity, "Reply the telegram to Rommel, and don't refuse or help the Japanese's request. I believe Rommel will handle it in detail. He has the ability!"

    "Don't refuse, don't help!" Marshal Strongs recalled the six-character motto of the head of state. The more he smacked it, the more mysterious it became. He couldn't help but smile knowingly. He didn't hurt his kindness, but he didn't take any action. In the end, the Japanese couldn't fault him either.  If something goes wrong, the battlefield situation changes rapidly. Who knows what unexpected situations will happen?

    After Hitler's telegram arrived in the hands of Marshal Rommel, he also smiled knowingly. Then, he met with General Yamamoto's special envoy and told him, "The General Staff has given a reply and authorized me to deal with it on an ad hoc basis. Please go back and report it."  General Yamamoto of your country, I will conscientiously implement the relevant agreements between the two countries on the war against the United States!¡±

    "It's just that my troops haven't ended the Phoenix Battle yet. I'm afraid they won't be able to move northward in a short period of time. General Yamamoto please understand that once the Phoenix Battle is over, I will immediately send my troops northward to attack Salt Lake City!"

    It is obvious that Marshal Rommel used the "drag" tactic. He knew that with more than 600,000 Canadian soldiers joining the western battlefield of the United States, the Japanese wanted to break through in a short period of time.The U.S. military's defense line in the Dilera Mountains is simply impossible. Time is on your side!
