Li Mo's arrangement of the Maginot Line of Defense seems to be strong, and the Maginot Line of Defense is exactly Li Mo's weakness. If Eisenhower really breaks through the Maginot Line of Defense and two million troops march straight into the German mainland, then Germany's Ruhr industrial zone will immediately turn into powder and the German mainland will be completely destroyed.

Germany's war potential will be fatal, so Li Mo can only commit suicide and apologize. Model's pressure suddenly increased, and the focus of the entire war was on the Maginot line of defense.

The only thing Li Mo could do was to let the German mainland give more weapons and ammunition this year. For example, rocket launchers, rpg rocket launchers, 88 guns, etc. to Model. Although Li Mo had more than three million troops in his hands, he could not reinforce Model one army and one soldier, so he could only rely on Model himself.

The battle to encircle and annihilate the Belgian Allied forces continued smoothly. Li Mo’s only prayer was that Model must hold on the Maginot defense line for at least ten days, even seven days, time is victory, and persistence is victory.

...

At this time, the 11th Panzer Division had already embarked on the offensive journey and its vanguard troops arrived in Lyon. At this time, the vanguard troops of the 45th Infantry Division of the US military had also occupied the town of Messimix in northeastern Lyon and cut off the road to Lyon. The situation was very dangerous.

The next day, after a brief preparation, the 111th Regiment of the 11th Armored Division launched a powerful attack on the position of the 45th Infantry Division of the US Army and attacked the town as the situation. After fierce battle, the 11th Armored Division surrounded the 179th Regiment of the 45th Infantry Division in the town and captured most of the regiment.

Afterwards, the main force of the 11th Armored Division marched towards Boer without stopping. When its vanguard advanced to the area north of Boer, it was attacked by Allied cavalry troops near Monterrel. The division immediately faced the attack with a reconnaissance battalion, which severely damaged it after a brief battle, and its remnants fled south.

In early October, the 3rd "Algerian" Division (equipped with M4 "Sheerman" tank) of the French 1st Army was eager to break through and advanced at full speed against the French border, attempting to use favorable terrain to cut through the mountainous areas bordering France and Belgium before the 11th Armored Division.

The main force maneuvered to the 11th Armored Division north of Monbery. Seeing the Allies breaking through the siege, they decided to seize this favorable fighter. They used the favorable terrain on both sides of the road near Monbery to ambush the "Algerian" division. The ambush mission was handed over to the 277th Air Defense Battalion. In this service, 59 Allied tanks were damaged, so that they would never dare to break through again.

In early October, the 4th Armored Division, commanded by General John Wood, who was known as the tiger general (for his nickname Jack, was nicknamed "Jack Tiger"), who landed from Normandy, broke through the German army's bridgehead position in the Maas River, attempted to seize Nancy east and wait for an opportunity to break through the German defense line arranged by the German army in France.

Li Mo urgently ordered the 111th and 113th armored brigades to counterattack at General Wood's battle group (equivalent to the armored regiment) near Aricott. "Jack Tiger" led his troops to fight. After several days of fierce battle, he defeated him.

After the 11th Armored Division arrived in the Aricot area, it organized the remaining two defeated armored brigades into the division and implemented position defense in the area east of Aricot. Although the division's defense line was wide and its troops were seriously insufficient, the 11th Armored Division, which was ready for battle, did not dare to step beyond the line.

The 11th Armored Division was then strengthened by 70 "Leopard" tanks and other vehicles, and was transferred to the area east of Metz to serve as the reserve team of the Group A Army Group, implementing a depth strategy and counterattack. After receiving the mission, the division chose the Delmu Ridge and the Need River in the depth as two basic positions, and formulated multiple anti-breakout plans.

On a rainy night on October 11, the 11th Panzer Division was ordered to occupy the position north of Mohrhanger to fight against the possible breakthrough operations of the Allied forces in this direction. The division advanced in the rain and just occupied the position. The 3rd Army of Patton (with 6 infantry divisions, 3 armored divisions, and 38 artillery battalions) was able to facilitate the dawn of the next day and launched a fierce attack under the cover of fierce artillery fire.

On the 12th, the Allied forces broke through the German frontier positions, and the tanks immediately surpassed the infantry and advanced into depth. The 11th Panzer Division seized this favorable fighter jet to launch a counterattack. That night, the 111th Regiment captured the town of Vivers with counterattack operations. It also attacked two tank battalions columns of the vanguard of "Jack Hu" who arrived in Hannor Court, cutting and severely damaging the tank column. The important town of Fonteny, which the 110th Regiment defended and severely damaged the US, and the US was forced to retreat.

At the same time, a battalion of the 15th Armored Regiment belonging to the 11th Armored Division also fought a desperate battle with the Allies in the village of Shalin where it was stationed. On that day, the scouts hurried to the battalion command center and reported that hundreds of tanks were coming towards the village.

The battalion commander immediately led five "Leopard" tanks under maintenance to fight. When he had just arrived near Dalhein Village, he found that the 37th Tank Battalion of "Jack Tiger" was contingent to the west to reach the Little Sir Pass. The battalion commander immediately ordered the tank to occupy a hidden reverse slope position on the road that the opponent must pass. When the "Jack Tiger" tank advanced about 1,500m in front of the battalion ambush position along the highway, the "Leopard" tank suddenly opened fire, dozens of "Jack Tiger" tanks were destroyed, and the rest were in chaos.

Five "cheetahs" who had a "full meal" evacuated safely in the chaos. In the town of Rodab, part of the 111th Regiment launched a counterattack on the 26th Infantry Division of the US Army under the cover of 10 tanks on the 13th. After fierce fighting, more than one regiment of the 26th Infantry Division was annihilated. Then, the division commander ordered an armored company of the 15th Armored Regiment (about 15 tanks) to go out overnight to "Jack Hu" to carry out a destructive attack in person.

In the early morning of the next day, the company launched an attack under the cover of thick fog and encountered an armored battalion and an infantry battalion of its powerful opponent, Jack Tiger. At the close range of "Leopard" tanks and m4 tanks, the 15th Armored Regiment lost about 10 tanks, and the US military lost 35 tanks and was forced to withdraw.

The 11th Panzer Division took advantage of the situation to cross the Dodell River defended by the US military and rushed to the strategic point of Singling. Then the battle for the key point of Singling began. The 1 company of the 37th Tank Battalion of "Jack Tiger" (equipped with 14 tanks) regardless of the muddy roads, used tanks to carry infantry to attack the town from the south.

Several tanks from the 1st Battalion of the 111th Regiment occupied the ridge of the ridge of Wells Jover Farm, and destroyed four U.S. tanks at a distance of 1,100 meters. Then, with the support of artillery, the battalion launched an impact with an armored company, forcing the Allies to abandon the town.

"Jack Hu" was dismissed by General Patton due to several defeats in combat and disagreement with his superiors. The 4th Armored Division also transferred north the next day to participate in the Bastoni clearance battle. Although the 11th Armored Division lacked a strong opponent, its pressure did not ease.

In mid-October, under the attack of strong German firepower, the Allies were forced to retreat to the front line of the Sal River. Although the Allies' defense line was solid and perfect, the Allies were surrounded on all sides and the ammunition and fuel were already very scarce. Although Patton's command was excellent, it could not change the fate of the Allies being annihilated. Patton's magic to return to heaven was. (To be continued)
