1. The combat office made new arrangements, changing the front line of the three armies to four armies extending from east to west, and the entire front line made a 90-degree turn.

2. Colonel Perry organized 1,338 various transport vehicles to transport troops and supply detachments from the front line to the offensive position day and night. The total mileage reached 1.6 million miles.

3. Colonel Mahler led the Logistics Department to establish a new supply system, transporting 62,000 tons of supplies within 100 hours.

4. Colonel Cork's intelligence department drew and distributed hundreds of thousands of combat maps of the new battlefield, made an enemy situation analysis report, and changed the battle sequence in a timely manner.

Patton himself was not idle. He and Sergeant Mims drove his shiny painted jeep with large star hangings throughout the army, completing the complicated work that needed a company's staff to do.

In the heavy snow, soldiers covered with mud and snowflakes on their coats were stimulated by Patton's inciting speeches, advancing against the bitter cold wind. The commander stood on the tank's command tower to schedule and command the troops' march. In this way, under the command of Patton, the 3rd Army quickly transferred an army of more than 100,000 from the Saar area to the Aden Mountains, achieving a comprehensive transfer of the front from south to north. At 6 a.m. on November 22, the 3rd Army, which belonged to the 3rd Army, launched an attack on time.

Vaux is a small town with a population of less than 14,500. It is located on a narrow plain in the Ardennes region in northern France, surrounded by sparse woodlands and hills. Since there are 7 road networks in the southern Ardennes pass through this place, its strategic position is particularly important. The German army originally estimated that Vaux had weak defense forces and planned to allow the 26th Militia Division, which was not very strong in combat, to take it over, but the tenacious resistance of the 92nd Airborne Division frustrated the German offensive.

As the battle progressed, the German Western Front Command discovered that Vaux not only became a "nail" for the entire German front, but also directly threatened the German logistics supply and restrained the German's vitality. All this made the German army determined to take Vaux, and they sent Baierlin and Von.

General Lutwitz led two armies to attack.

On November 23, the weather finally cleared. The Allied 7 fighter bombers groups, 11 medium bombers groups, a division of the 8th Air Force's Land Force and the Royal Air Force transport planes flew over Vaux. The aircraft group violently bombed the German targets, and the transport plane dropped various supplies, and the German Air Force immediately took off to fight.

But it was always one step late. Vaux City got some supplies. However, their bombing of the German army was stopped by German planes, and the air forces of both sides immediately strangled over Vaux. In this case, even if the German Air Force wanted to avoid the war, it could only fight for consumption. The wreckage of the plane fell from time to time in the sky.

The 4th Armored Division, commanded by Patton, forcibly broke through the Matterlanger pontoon on the 24th under the cover of the Air Force. It occupied the village of Warnak and launched an assault on Alron along the road. The 5th Division drove the German army across the Sauer River and prepared to attack Vaux. As long as Patton broke through Vaux's encirclement, it could break through the German encirclement after rushing dozens of kilometers before, and then the Allies could run all the way to Dunkirk.

The battle of Vaux was also difficult. The soldiers of the 92nd Airborne Division were lying in the snow-covered foxholes to hold their positions under the German artillery fire. The German army's strength was still weak. It would take at least three to five days for the troops located in Belgium and the Netherlands to be transferred to France. This was more than one million elite German troops, because they had only completely eliminated the Allies of Belgium and the Netherlands.

The remaining three to five days is Patton's last chance. Because the German troops surrounded Vaux were weak, Charles, the commander of the C Company of the 37th Tank Battalion of Patton's 4th Armored Division, was the second time.

The m-4 tank driven by Lieutenant Boggs was the first to rush into Bastoni. Behind him, Allied armored troops poured into the positions of the 92nd Airborne Division like a torrent of steel.

Brigadier General McAuliff, the commander of the 92nd Airborne Division, repeatedly praised the speed and strength of the "Iron Wheel Hell" under Patton. On the 24th, with the reinforcements of the 9th Armored Division and the 80th Infantry Division, the 4th Armored Division opened the road from Wax to Allonton. 200,000 Allied troops completely defeated the German troops besieged Wax and were preparing to concentrate their forces to attack the German advance base - Falitzer. As long as Falitzer conquered, hundreds of thousands of Allied troops surrounded in the Ardennes area would be considered to break out.

In order to avenge his previous shame, Patton carefully prepared a "gift" for Li Mo. He ordered that all artillery soldiers under the 3rd Army use the most violent firepower to fire at the German positions for 20 minutes at midnight on November 25. Patton would look forward to the new year in his unique way in the roar of artillery fire and the wail of the German army.

On the 26th, Patton ordered the troops to take a clamp attack from the north and south wings, advance towards Falitzer at full speed, and cut off the German army in half. Patton's troops were invincible and captured St. Vitt on the 23rd. On the 27th, the vanguard of the 3rd Army had attacked the front line of the Ur River. On the 29th, Patton held a press conference and announced that the Battle of Ardennes ended with the victory of the Allies.

But things are definitely not as simple as Patton said in front of the reporter. Li Mo certainly knew Patton's arrogance, and Li Mo also knew the defeat on the front line. However, the troops everywhere on the front line are now very surprised, and Li Mo did not dare to draw troops casually. Li Mo was waiting and delaying Patton's offensive speed.

After the end of the Battle of Belgium and the Netherlands on November 23, more than one million elite German troops in these two places traveled to France overnight because the Allies destroyed all railways entering France, even roads and bridges. This undoubtedly greatly hesitated the German movement speed. It was originally planned to take only three days, but after six days, a pioneering armored division finally arrived at the Ur River.

Patton was in trouble now. The German armored division was opposite the Ur River. Patton's 200,000 offensive troops could not build bridges or cross the river. Even if Patton wanted to use an airplane to blow up the German armored division opposite, it could not. The German Air Force, which was not far away, suddenly supported the front line of the Ur River.

In order to have enough aircraft on the French battlefield, Li Mo ordered all German aircraft factories to produce them day and night, and also transferred 1,500 more than 1,500 aircraft deployed in Germany for national air defense. Now the Soviet Union of the Luftwaffe has restored to more than 4,000, which is almost the same as the number of Allied aircraft.

However, the German pilot quality and aircraft quality were better than the Allies, and the combat loss ratio was almost 2 to 1. Li Mo was not scruples in order to completely and cleanly annihilate the Allies in the Ardennes area. Even if he temporarily fought for the German aircraft, he would do nothing.

On January 3, 1942, more than one million German troops who came reinforced joined the attack on Patton's offensive corps. More than one million people and more than twenty high armored divisions and more than ten thousand artillery pieces. Patton didn't even have the chance to fight back, so he became a prisoner.
