Li Mo handed over 300,000 German troops that blocked the Allied forces to General Weiler, and then went to the B Army Group, which was the 800,000 elite German troops commanded by Manstein. This unit concentrated 60% of the armored divisions in Li Mo's hands, reaching the scale of sixteen armored divisions.

Moreover, the leopard tanks of these armored divisions are the main configuration, and even the No. 4 tanks are a very small number. These armored divisions are Li Mo's heart and are also the essence of Germany's power on the Western Front. The entire war process on the Western Front depends largely on the performance of these sixteen armored divisions.

Mannstein's command is set up in a natural cave near the border of the Arden forest. It is so safe that there is no problem, that is, there is just a little dampness in the cave, which is a common phenomenon in the Arden forest.

"Martin Manstein, what's going on?"

"Mr. Commander-in-Chief, your pocket array is really wonderful. What impresses me the most is that you have no Allied aircraft in the sky, and our tanks can be said to be unstoppable."

"That's good. Where did our troops attack?"

"There are still thirty kilometers here, and the border between the Netherlands and Belgium can be reached. The Allies in these two places will soon be unable to escape."

"Martin Manstein, you are the father of blitzkrieg. I want to annihilate these 550,000 Allies, but I must make it clear to you. I can only give you ten days, so we don't have much time to do our best to annihilate these Allies with the most fierce attack. Because the intelligence came from the United States, the United States began to transport a large number of planes to Britain. We can't afford it. We should fight hard for Germany!"

"Hi! Hitler, please make sure to complete the task."

Li Mo originally planned to go to the front line to check it out. But the next day, the Allied forces launched a large-scale air counterattack, which was the same as Li Mo. He wanted to completely blow up some airports built by Germany in the border areas. Many of the airports built by Li Mo were field airports. However, they could not withstand the bombing, but the number of field airports built by Li Mo was very large, with a total of no less than 500 field airports.

Li Mo originally did not want to fight a large-scale air battle with the Allies for the time being, but the Allies refused to give in. Both sides began to ubiquitous air strangulation over the Maginot Line, in Belgium, and over the Netherlands.

According to Eisenhower's meaning, I have some planes, consume a batch, and immediately transport a batch from the United States. Eisenhower's idea is good, but Li Mo has already asked his father-in-law, the commander-in-chief of the Navy, to secretly mobilize more than 30 U2 submarines to set off from Germany to your Norwegian Sea.

The routes of the Allied fleets were of course highly confidential, but American planes left the Bering Strait from the west, then covered the Russian coast to reach the Norwegian Sea. Finally, they arrived in Britain, and the Norwegian Sea was not boundless and wide.

From Norway to Iceland, it is only more than 1,500 nautical miles wide. As long as Germany arranges hundreds of spy ships and fishing boats, the Allied fleet will definitely be discovered. In fact, the Allied forces are not afraid of the German army's discovery. As long as the fleet is not within the attack range of German aircraft, the escort of the US third fleet can completely ensure the safety of the fleet.

No one knows what kind of results will the United States' Third Fleet and Denitz's wolf pack produce in the Norwegian Sea.

...

The SS2 Armored Division was a very combat-effective force. Li Mo put them in the C Group Army Group to serve as the task of blocking the Allies. At this time, the German army had already come out of the Ardennes Forest to attack the Allies in Belgium and the Netherlands. Even Eisenhower was stupid, he knew that there were no German teams in the Ardennes Forest.

Then the German army would definitely use the Arden Forest as a logistics supply base, which is dense and dense. The German logistics supplies could never be found in the air. Eisenhower wanted to destroy the German logistics supply base and could only attack the Arden Forest.

Eisenhower's move was right. There were indeed only 600,000 German troops here. 300,000 were to block them, and the other 300,000 were the reserve force of the entire army. Li Mo would not use it easily.

SS2 (i.e., the Imperial Division), who had just arrived from the Arden Forest, immediately responded to the Allied offensive and launched an attack on the Allied left wing from near Setern. The Leopard tanks of the 4th Company of the 2nd Armored Regiment took the lead and rushed to the front.

The captain of the fourth-level assault squad, Ernst Buckman, nervously observed outwards in his No. 424 Leopard tank. Soon, the Allied armored troops exchanged fire with them. Buckman took the lead in destroying a Sherman tank, and the other brothers in the company also taught the arrogant Americans a lesson. The retreating Allied forces immediately called for artillery support, and the offensive team of the 4th Armored Company was immediately covered by dense artillery and was forced to retreat after suffering losses.

The next day, the 4th Armored Company fought with the Allies again. Buckman destroyed two Allied tanks and sank the other to the ground. As soon as the battle ended on the outside of Pokaki Village, he received an infantry report that the Allied column was driving here, and he also specifically reminded the half-tracked car that there were anti-tank guns hanging behind it.

Considering that the retreating Allies would definitely inform their company of their location to friendly forces, Buckman decided to start his tank and actively search for the enemy around the gathering place. The leopard tank encountered the Allied vanguard in the woods. The American gunner had already set up anti-tank guns, and an armor-piercing round flew over the leopard turret, but the leopard tank destroyed it in an instant.

Almost at the same time, an Allied 88mm shell banged a few centimeters under the leopard anti-shield look hole. The shell bounced into the car and the tank burned. Under Buckman's order, several crew members fled from the tank in a hurry. Buckman discovered that the gunner Borgdolph was missing, so he ran back to the tank and dragged the gunner who was shocked out.

Unexpectedly, the Allied forces were filled with tiger and leopard phobia and retreated. The ammunition in the car did not explode, so the tankers put out the fire and drove the tank back to the repair company.

The next day, the Allied offensive code-named "Cobra" kicked off under the Allied large-scale air raid. Allied armored troops launched a large-scale attack on Avranche after the air raid.

The overwhelming planes hovered on the German positions and dived and dropped bombs. The German planes also came to assist in the war in a very short time. Planes fell from time to time in the sky, including Allied forces and some German troops. The Allied forces were rich and not afraid of consumption. Even if there were German air defense artillery on the ground and German aircraft in the sky, the Allied forces still bombed the German positions regardless of everything. It seemed that Eisenhower was anxious.

The armored instructor on the front of the German defense had already been bombed and lost most of his combat effectiveness. The ss2 2nd Armored Regiment was forced to withdraw and fill the defense gap left by the armored instructor. The Allied Air Force then launched a two-day and two-night air raid on the ss2 Empire Division. (To be continued)
