Chapter 1033 Rescue and Obstruction

"We want to create a miracle!" As soon as Roosevelt's speech in Congress ended, the huge American war machine accelerated wildly, just to save the group of American soldiers trapped in Turkey, and to boost morale of Americans all over the world.

For this rescue, the Americans spent a lot of money.

Now Türkiye's US military has been divided into three parts by the Chinese army.

Some of them guard Ankara alone and want to save people under the heavy siege of the Chinese army is simply difficult to reach the sky. There is no other good way to defeat the Chinese army.

However, the complex terrain of Ankara and the resistance of the Turks here are better than the defensive conditions of the US military near the Black Sea Strait.

In order to ensure the safety of these US troops, the Americans kept making promises to the Turkish governments stationed in Ankara and Istanbul, and directly encouraged money and materials so that they would not surrender to the Chinese and Germans. They could also continue to launch large-scale attacks and harassment on the Chinese troops entering their territory, alleviate the pressure of the US team, and buy time for the American rescue and counterattack.

The anxious Americans urgently drew a large number of fighter jets from North Africa and Europe and flocked to them. With the advantage of quantity and the impact of life, they temporarily regained their air supremacy disadvantage near the Black Sea Strait and confronted China again.

Even though it has not yet occupied an air advantage, the US C-47 transport planes rushed over Ankara without fear of death, accompanied by numerous wild horses and lightning, and airdropped strategic supplies and ammunition and weapons.

Under the interception of China's J-5 jet fighter, although most of them were shot down or fled back, it was not a comparison of casualties and losses at this time. The actions of partially dropping to Ankara directly boosted the morale there, giving the US military and Turks there a greater confidence to stick to the end.

Because it was separated by a wide Marmara Sea, when the US troops retreated, they directly chose the narrower Bosphorus and Dardanelles, and were divided into two sections by the Chinese army that rushed to Bursa.

With the Germans focusing on attacking Istanbul, the US troops near the Bosphorus were expected to enter Turkey for rest, and the idea of ​​temporarily blocking the Chinese attack was shattered.

Although this Constantinople has always been known for its difficulty in conquering, under the bombardment of heavy artillery by the Germans, especially the two Karl heavy mortars that have been discovered, were being transported towards Turkey, and no one was sure that they could defend it.

Now there are only two roads left before the United States, one is to evacuate from the Black Sea through water.

Under the air bombing of China and Germany, there is also the control of the Chinese army along the Marmara Sea coast. It is unrealistic to enter the Mediterranean from the water through the Black Sea Strait. Instead, it is easier to retreat directly into the Black Sea.

However, during the war between Türkiye and the Soviet Union, warships that were spared from the Germans and Italians who had some naval discourse in the Mediterranean entered the Black Sea, making the Germans' control over the Black Sea far exceed that of the original history.

The Germans controlled most of the Soviet Black Sea territories, and even the Soviet Black Sea fleet had to huddle in a few areas near the Caucasus.

Although after Turkey reblocked the Black Sea Strait, German warships in the Black Sea also lost the ability to continue to strike the Black Sea Soviet Russian warships, it was still easy to deal with the American withdrawal fleet. In the case of the US Navy's whip, they could only expect the Soviet Russian Black Sea Fleet to escort the greatly reduced Soviet Union.

The Soviets who had always been limited to the Army and Air Force receiving support from Britain and the United States. At this time, they took the opportunity to ask for the benefits of the navy.

The Americans don’t care about letting out some blood, but they care more about the next resettlement of the US military.

After entering the Black Sea, even if they can escape the interception of the German fleet and the Axis air force above their heads, these US troops can only be placed in the Caucasus region and continue to be trapped. Not to mention how long the Caucasus region can last under the north and south attack of the Chinese army and the German team, just one logistical supply here in the future is a headache.

Turkey, south of the Caucasus Mountains, was lost, and the Soviet area in the north was also lost. The waterways were not accessible, and the losses of air passages were too great. In the harsh environment of the Caucasus, it was unimaginable to cut off external supplies.

Without any last resort, Americans do not want to take this path, and they also need to consider blocking the issue of China and the German army.

The significance of the meeting between the two core giants of the Axis powers is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Moreover, the halo of European rulers and Asian rulers joining each other.

This blow to the morale of the Allied Powers, the encouragement of the morale of the Axis Powers, and the bias of a series of neutral forces brought about by this, as well as the wait-and-turned-ups of other fence-bearing and soft-footed shrimps, are all unimaginable to the Allied Powers. At the same time, once the Chinese army knocked on the door to Europe, countless scenes of Chinese troops pouring into Europe will also make the Allied Powers shudder.

This is no longer a problem of safety for only tens of thousands of US troops, but a problem of strategic heights of the entire war.

"The Chinese are more proactive in their attacks. Relying on the Black Sea Strait to stop the Chinese army from continuing to advance, it is a wise choice." Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin's three giants met and quickly determined the plan. The backbone of this blocking army was the Allied officers and soldiers trapped in the Black Sea Strait at this time.

In order not to conflict with the rescue slogan, the order of the senior US executives was eventually changed to let these US troops retreat to Istanbul and evacuate towards the Black Sea or along the Black Sea Strait toward the Mediterranean according to the situation.

Similarly, the US military near the Dardanelles also received an order to turn to Turkey's European part and block the Chinese army across the strait, but their last rescue passage was in the Mediterranean.

Allied ships on the Mediterranean will take the initiative in advance if they are directly coming to the Aegean Sea, either for assistance or defense.

The Americans play the rescue card in one hand and the purpose of intercepting China with the other, making their final efforts.

If the Americans can be successfully blocked with continuous support, the Americans' defeat this time will be covered up by strategic victory and will reinvigorate the morale of the Allies.

Of course, if these defeated Allied troops were destroyed by the Chinese and Germans before the Allied reinforcements arrived, all this would undoubtedly be a joke.

The key is to allow the Chinese army or the Germans who are constantly pushing towards the Black Sea Strait to slow down their attacks, winning more time.

Thinking that the war between the United States and China was in a situation of failure in other places, it was impossible to hinder the actions of the Chinese in Türkiye.

The Americans had no choice but to pay a lot of money again, mobilizing the British to launch an offensive from the remaining troops in North Africa and the Middle East to restrain Turkey, and inciting the Soviets to launch an offensive to Turkey in the direction of the Caucasus. In addition, they made promises and encouraged the Turks to slow down the attack of the Chinese army in Turkey, leaving more time for the Allies near the Black Sea Strait to prepare for resistance.

"Those are not enough!" The Americans understood that although the British and Soviet Russians were also determined to stop China from entering Europe, they each had their own German team to resist and it was difficult to put out all their energy to deal with the Chinese. At most, it was just a restraint, and it was not enough to completely affect the progress of the Chinese army.

"Maybe we can think from a different perspective!" Eisenhower suggested, "If we defeat the Germans first, it will delay their time to join forces, and there will be less enemies on the other hand, and we will have more energy to deal with the Chinese!"

At this time, compared with the Chinese army that was fighting like a rainbow, the Germans, who were in decline on the east and west lines, were undoubtedly more like a soft persimmon that was easy to squeeze.

In Europe, the Allies had already formed an advantage over the Germans and were more likely to involve and influence their actions.

Therefore, the Americans temporarily put aside their attacks on North Africa and northern Italy, mobilized their troops to launch an attack on Greece and Albania, thereby approaching the German army in Bulgaria and breaking through the German army on the Balkans.

The Allied forces on the Eastern Front, France and other regions also put pressure on the surrounding German troops, making it difficult for them to mobilize their troops and rescue the Balkans.

At the same time, in order to gain time to the front line, the Americans not only fooled the Turks, but also strengthened their agitation to the American soldiers.

The young men and soldiers in the United States are usually a bit casual, but once they are in danger, these American cowboys who have been playing with guns since childhood and have an adventurous spirit in their bones will burst out with amazing combat power.

Although half of the heavy weapons were lost when retreating, the US troops retreating westward relied on the surrounding shapes and built trenches and fortifications to fortifications, forcibly defended their last foothold on the Asia Minor Peninsula, creating a small miracle.

...

"As long as we defeat these Americans again, we can create a new miracle. Why not let us continue to attack?" Zhang Zizhong was a little confused.

Although the army has tight logistics and has been a little tired after several days of combat, the morale is strong and we can continue to fight again, and we can wipe out the US troops near the Black Sea Strait in one fell swoop. Although casualties will increase, if the Americans are more prepared, the offensive losses will be greater.

"The superior has another offensive plan. Tactical actions must obey strategic arrangements, and don't just look in front of you!" In the last sentence, Niu Er directly reposted Meng Xiang's original words.
