Chapter 137 Let the US military be cannon fodder

Although the Tang Empire joined the British, French, American and Soviet alliance and declared war on Germany and Italy, it has not actually sent troops for a long time. In addition to wanting the US and Soviet troops to continue to be cannon fodder in the front and the Tang army is waiting to pick the fruits of victory, it also takes some time to adapt because the Tang army's various new weapons and equipment had just been included in the list.

The Tang army delayed for three months before re-establishing troops to European military bases such as Ireland, Gibraltar, Cyprus, etc., and it would take at least three months to deploy. The US military had no choice but to delay the Tang army. They could not afford to wait. More than one million US troops and weapons and equipment stayed in North Africa, and the daily military expenditure was huge, and they could not withstand such delays.

Fortunately, the Tang army had opened various military bases on the Ireland Island to the US military. The US military took advantage of the Tang army's delay in the past six months to transport 500,000 US troops to the Ireland Islands and launched an attack on the German army on the Great Britain Island.

At the same time, the overseas corps formed by the exile governments of Britain and France also landed on the Ireland Island. The British and Northern Ireland were their territory, but now they were occupied by the Tang Empire. Britain and Tang Empire had signed a treaty, and Britain no longer pursued the issue of Northern Ireland. In return, the Tang Empire would pay 300 million yuan as the purchase fee for Northern Ireland.

The British knew that the 300 million Tang Yuan was not worth the economic and military value of the Northern Ireland region at all, but Churchill had to accept this condition. On the one hand, the United States, Tang and Suzhou were a foregone conclusion. On the other hand, the US military did not treat the exiled British army very well. The British army needed the 300 million Tang Yuan funds from the Tang Empire to improve the treatment of the British army and update weapons and equipment.

In this way, the British accused the actual control of the Tang Empire over the Ireland Island. When the British army passed through the Northern Ireland area, the local people were still looking forward to returning to Britain, but the British army turned a blind eye.

After the US troops entered the Ireland Island, they used the major bases built by the Tang Empire here to station 500,000 troops. However, the Tang army bases actually could not accommodate so many American troops, and there were nearly 100,000 British and French coalition forces, plus 20,000 Tang troops, a total of 620,000 troops. The load was already exceeded.

Therefore, the US military had to speed up the offensive and sent a large number of fighter jets to bombard the German army on the British Islands every day. The German army also fought to the death. They stationed 200,000 troops on the British Islands, basically all deployed near the Ireland Islands. The German army had long been guarding against the Tang Empire.

Fortunately, the main force of the German High Seas Fleet returned to repair. Because the main ships of the US Navy were too far away from the local area and could not return for repair, they simply broke the can and just covered the US attack on the British Isle.

The Ireland and the Isle of Great Britain were very close, and the US Navy and Air Force had the advantage here. The Tang Empire was constantly urging by the US government. In the end, it also sent various aircraft to fight, which put the Allied forces in an overwhelming advantage.

On September 3, 1943, the Third US Army broke through the German defense and successfully landed on the beach in southern Wales. Although the German counterattacked several times, they were soon repelled by the US army without the advantage of the navy and air force.

Three days later, nearly 100,000 American troops crossed the sea and landed on the Isle of Great Britain. The British and French coalition forces also successfully logged from another landing area a day later.

The Tang army did not send troops into the Isle of Great Britain, worried about having conflicts with the British army. After all, the Tang army airborne the Isle of Great Britain three years ago, seized the main force of the British navy and occupied Northern Ireland. Many British people in the occupied areas hated the Tang Empire to death, and the Tang army rashly went in and might be subjected to crimes.

In addition, the Tang army knew that the German army would fight to the death, so they preserved their strength and did not send troops to the Isle of Great Britain.

Sure enough, Hitler ordered the German army to fight to the death, and the United States, Britain and France fought with the German army on the British mainland. The battle was very fierce, and both sides had a large number of casualties.

However, it was a big trend for the Allies to recover Britain. The Germans also knew this, just wanted to make the Allies pay a greater price.

On January 4, 1944, the Battle of London ended. The 200,000 German troops in Britain were wiped out, but the Allies also lost more than 100,000 people, which was a huge cost. In particular, hundreds of British cities were destroyed by war, and the damage was huge when the German army retreated. The original nine-story factories and urban public facilities were destroyed, and the people were looted and massacred. The three years after the German army occupied Britain, causing hundreds of thousands of British deaths, and half of British women were XX. The economy was regressed for fifty years, which made the British government, which had just recovered, cry without tears.

On the Soviet battlefield, the Soviet army's offensive speed increased significantly. They obtained more advanced weapons and equipment from the Tang Empire, making the German army only have the defensive power.

Hitler had to mobilize more troops to block the Soviet offensive pace. In the Atlantic region, he could only rely on the German army and the troops of the vassal state to assist in defense. He spent huge amounts of money to build the Atlantic defense line, but in fact the German army's financial resources had been exhausted, and the only thing he was to rely on was the German high seas fleet to block the English Channel.

Three years ago, the British Navy blocked the English Channel and blocked the German attack. Now, if it were the Germans blocked the English Channel and blocked the Allied forces from counterattacking the European continent.

During this period, the main ships of the German High Seas Fleet have been repaired and replenished, so the US Navy is at a disadvantage and dare not fight head-on.

The Tang army, who had been dragging for half a year, finally sent a huge aircraft carrier battle group to the North Atlantic Ocean and organized into the Atlantic Fleet of the Tang Empire, giving the Tang Army's Atlantic Fleet 10 large aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 8 heavy cruisers, 22 light cruisers, and 68 destroyers.

The arrival of the Tang Army's Atlantic Fleet restored the Allies' confidence, especially the 10 large aircraft carriers of the Tang Army were all second-generation aircraft carriers, equipped with advanced jet fighters, and extremely powerful combat power, which shocked the Allies.

Although the US military also had jet aircraft test flights at this time, it was still a certain distance from actual combat deployment, not to mention that the requirements for ship-based models were higher, and the US military did not have a development plan in this regard.

In contrast, although the German army had already served ME262 jet fighter jets, the number was insufficient and it was a land-based model. The German aircraft carrier-mounted Juncker series carrier-based aircraft were still in the propeller era. The Tang Empire did not provide key turboprop engines to Germany from the beginning to the end. Otherwise, the German army would have been full of jet fighters now.

On February 9, 1944, a large-scale naval battle broke out between the Allied Navy and the German Navy. The Tang Army's aircraft carrier battle group played a decisive advantage. When the second-generation Raptor carrier-based aircraft of the Tang Army was put into combat, the German Juncker series of carrier-based aircraft were not as fast as the second-generation Raptors, and they were immediately massacred one-sidedly.

Subsequently, a large number of second-generation Hellfire carrier-based bombers took off from the Tang army aircraft carrier, pursuing the German fleet and sinking three large German aircraft carriers, two battleships, four heavy cruisers and seventeen destroyers. If the German fleet had not been hiding back to the French coastal port in time and counterattacked with the help of shore-based artillery, they would have been completely wiped out by the Allies.

However, after this battle, the German navy was panicked. After the US-Tang navy joined forces, the German army believed that it was not an opponent. Hitler, who was in charge of the ship, ordered the German navy not to take the initiative to fight, causing the German army to lose the control of the English Channel.

The Allies quickly decided to counterattack the European continent and chose to land in Normandy, where the Germans had the weakest defense.
