In the Atlantic, the German submarine force is still playing a hide-and-seek game with the British Navy. The British Navy is desperately trying to keep the lifeline of the Mediterranean and the safety of the routes in the North Sea, and the German submarines are also playing with their lives.
Sneak attacks on transport ships from Britain, the United States, Canada and other countries, in an attempt to destroy Britain's sea lines of communication and trap Britain on the island.
In addition, the two aircraft carriers under construction by the German Navy are about to enter the outfitting stage. They are two medium-sized aircraft carriers imitating the Federal Star Lord-class aircraft carrier. They have a full load displacement of about 27,000 tons and can carry 65 German-made combat aircraft. In this
In historical time and space, due to the relatively close military exchanges between South Germany and Germany,
All of this has made the German Navy deeply influenced by the South China Sea Federation. They are unwilling to develop those battleships that have fallen behind. They are more inclined to rely on submarines and aircraft carriers to realize their naval dreams like the South China Sea Federation. These two aircraft carriers are small
Under the strong request of the Navy, Beard began construction in secret before the war.
Since the United States had to reduce its aid to European allies for its own domestic war, the British domestic supplies were not very sufficient. Their shipbuilding quantity could basically meet their own needs and offset the number of ships sunk by German submarines. However,
It was no longer able to provide large-scale assistance to the Soviet Union, and it was even less able to rely on its own strength to counterattack the European continent. It could only watch the Soviet Union and the United States helplessly on the island, hoping that these two countries could be more effective in the battlefields against Germany and South Korea.
actions in order to reverse the current situation that is very unfavorable to the Allies.
As for Italy, Germany's allied force, the British army was still having fun on the battlefield in North Africa. Although they still lost more than they won in history, they also succeeded in holding back the British with the help of a small number of German troops.
Some of the troops in North Africa have done their best for their German allies.
In fact, what worries the British more is not the trouble caused by Germany and Italy in North Africa and the Mediterranean, but the two countries that are obviously in the same trousers with the South China Sea Federation. The British government is very afraid that these two countries will suddenly attack itself.
Fortunately for Turkey, the British have seen the strength of the heterochromatic army in West Asia. A few thousand troops can defeat a suspected blue army several times their own.
In addition, their country does not seem to be short of money, and it has military assistance from the South China Sea Federation. It is really not an easy subject to mess with. Therefore, in order not to anger the people of different colors, the British government has always pretended to be deaf and dumb to the situation in West Asia. As long as
Don't bother with Egypt. It can hold back and keep silent.
After a brief lull in the North American continent for about a month, the war was broken by Federal Air Force bombers. With Pocatello as the forward base, Federal bombers first bombed some military targets around it.
In particular, several U.S. military airports near Salt Lake City were bombed several times. They stopped only after confirming that no more planes could take off and land here.
Thanks to the escort of fighter jets, federal bombers no longer waste ammunition by throwing aerial bombs at high altitudes. They are often bombers, fighters and attack aircraft dispatched together. The attack aircraft deal with the ground anti-aircraft firepower, and the fighter aircraft
To deal with the U.S. Air Force interceptor fighters, and then use bombers to approach at low altitudes for bombing.
This mixed bombing operation caused heavy losses to the US military near Salt Lake City. Four airports were destroyed, forcing US military aircraft to take off from other airports and then fly to the Salt Lake City airspace to intercept federal bombers. The distance was actually longer than the distance traveled by federal aircraft.
Far.
In addition, the U.S. ground forces are basically unable to carry out large-scale mobilization during the day within 400 kilometers near Pocatello. As long as something suspicious is discovered by federal reconnaissance aircraft in the sky, there will definitely be federal bombers visiting within an hour. There was once a
The U.S. artillery stationed in Casper, Wyoming, thought it would be safe to hide the artillery position in the woods. As a result, more than a dozen soldiers found an open space and played American football.
This scene happened to be photographed by a federal reconnaissance plane. After returning to the base, federal military personnel analyzed the photos and soon had questions about the woods. So after the reconnaissance planes conducted fixed-point reconnaissance for two days, federal bombers came.
, two entire artillery regiments, including their men and artillery pieces, were all submerged in the woods by the fire. Since they were bombed in the middle of the night, only more than 200 people were able to escape from the woods alive.
And these are just small moves by the Federal Air Force to clear out threats near the base. Their real purpose is to use the airport here to allow federal bombers to go deeper into the central and eastern United States to bomb those areas that can really cause heartache to the U.S. government and can
This is a key city that scares Americans, but before taking action, they still need to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the federal army.
Due to the shortage of troops in Pocatello, the federal Department of Defense dispatched four additional divisions from Australia to the west coast of the United States. Among them, the 5th and 6th Armored Divisions and the 1st Mountain Division were all from the Federal Army.
The main force of the federal army, and the 21st Infantry Division is a foreign force. The purpose of their coming to the front line is not to fight, but to perform more tasks such as security, logistics transportation, patrolling, etc., so as to divert the main force of the federal army from these
Freed from trivial matters.
Four divisions of troops came, but the 4th Armored Division and the 1st Parachute Division had to return to the federal territory to rest and recuperate. Their losses in personnel and equipment were too great to be replenished on the battlefield. As a result, the three divisions on the west coast of the United States
In the federal occupied area, there are only 4 armored divisions, the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 6th, the 11th Mechanized Division, the 1st Mountain Division, and the 21st Foreign Infantry Division, a total of 7 divisions with an army strength of approximately 180,000 people.
.
Since the Vancouver, Seattle, and San Diego areas have navies assisting in defense, and they are relatively behind the front, the pressure on defense is not great. It is mainly to defend against enemies coming from the direction of Canada and Mexico. Therefore, the 21st
The Foreign Infantry Division and the 3rd Armored Division remained
In the Vancouver-Seattle area, the 1st Armored Division remained in San Diego, the 5th Armored Division and the 11th Mechanized Division were stationed near Pocatello, and the 1st Mountain Division was divided into several sections, running along roads and rails from Pendleton to Burma.
Lee, responsible for the safety of the transportation line between Seattle and Pocatello.
The 6th Armored Division freed up its hands and began to move along the coastline, starting from San Diego, and sweep through all the large, medium and small cities near Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Portland to ensure that there were no large-scale remaining US military forces in the local areas. After completing this mopping up mission
After that, they will also go to the Pocatello area to be stationed.
At this time, the Pocatello area had become a large barracks for the federal army. From Rupert in the south to Falls City in the north, a line of defense was laid out along the Snake River, and various permanent bunkers began to be built.
and bunkers, and hundreds of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were transferred from Seattle, intending to build this place into a solid three-dimensional defense area from the ground to the air.
The reason why the federal army invested in this small place is mainly because the federal air force will build more airports and radar navigation stations here. The occupation of Pocatello is just to make up for the lack of range of the federal air force bombers. This is only the first step.
, the second step is to concentrate more long-range bombers here, and the third step is to carry out large-scale bombing of key American cities within a radius of 2,500 kilometers or even 3,000 kilometers.
According to the thinking of the federal Department of Defense, when cities in central America are bombed, the U.S. government should have two options. One is to actively negotiate with the federal government and end the war in a peaceful way; the second is to no longer worry about casualties and start asking the federal government for help.
The occupied area launched a counterattack, and the Pocatello area must be the main offensive target of the US military, not only because it is the forward base of the federal air force, but also because it does not receive support from the federal navy and is more likely to be overwhelmed by the massive US military.
In order to prevent this worst outcome, the federal Department of Defense deliberately delayed the strategic bombing of cities in central America so that the federal garrison there could build stronger defense lines and store more ammunition and supplies to avoid further problems with supply lines.
Being cut off affected their combat effectiveness. To be on the safe side, one of the newly formed federal divisions and the last two foreign divisions also went to New Guinea for final training. Once the battle on the front line becomes tense, they will immediately rush to the front line by boat. (
