Chapter 148 Code Name - Meat Grinder!
With the landing of the Chinese team in Sicily, the war began to undergo a major change. (大全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全全�
The Chinese team completely replaced the Italians' defense. Whether it was the Chinese or the Germans, they are now convinced that Italy's ally is not trustworthy at all. With them, it will not only be useless, but will also be bad.
Not only did the Italians feel no shame, but they breathed a sigh of relief. It was also a very good thing to not have to be in that terrible battlefield anymore.
After the Allies landed in Sicily, the Allies also felt a huge panic. These Allies, who never knew what failure was, will inevitably show great combat effectiveness in Sicily.
The Allied forces quickly organized two major offensives, trying to take advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese team's unstable foothold and solve this problem in one fell swoop.
However, the elite Chinese team obviously would not give them this opportunity. They stubbornly repelled the enemy's attack and ensured that the war could go smoothly.
On August 20, the second-level general of the Army of the Central ** team, Wang Mingzhang, commander-in-chief of Sicily, arrived in Sicily and appointed Jia Haoyang, the third-level general of the Army of the Armed SS, as the commander-in-chief of the front enemy.
A counterattack code-named "Meat Grinder" began...
For this counterattack, the Chinese team drew a total of 8 divisions of the SS as the main attack, while the German army drew 7 divisions of troops to cooperate in combat. As for the Italians, they may be more suitable for logistics supply tasks.
On August 27, a large number of Chinese and German fighter jets appeared over the battlefield and competed with the Allies for air supremacy.
The air battle was extremely fierce. A large number of planes on both sides were shot down, but neither of them was willing to give up their crucial position as a king in the air.
Just as the battle started in the air, the attacking troops also quietly entered the attack position...
On the 28th, after the fierce battle the day before and countless battles that had been fought before, the Allied Air Force showed some fatigue. The young Chinese Air Force who had just joined the European battlefield showed high fighting spirit. They took off one after another, strangled the enemy in the air, and tried their best to control the blue sky.
This is called the "Sicily Air Battle".
The Chinese Air Force's jet fighter jets showed their huge power. In this regard, China is far ahead of the Allied fighter jets.
When Europeans and Americans were still joking about it as a fantasy, the Chinese government had quietly discovered supporters and researchers of the jet concept from Europe and the United States; when Europeans and Americans were still disdaining the jet concept, a large number of geniuses led by Wang Xi in China have begun to study jet aircraft. When Europe and the United States finally reached the huge power of jet aircraft, the Chinese Air Force had already equipped this advanced fighter jet in large quantities.
This is a contest between two eras, and this is a contest between the most advanced aircraft and the one that seems to be advanced and actually lagging far behind.
In fact, from the beginning of the air battle, the top leaders of the Chinese Air Force knew that there was no big suspense anymore...
The Chinese Air Force gradually controlled its air superiority and gradually used the cost of casualties far less than the Allied forces. It showed its unshakable overlord status in the air. Read h-u-n mixed*h-u-n《》 Please remember
German pilots looked at their allies with envy, the advanced fighter and bombers soaring in the air. They can now be sure that it is exciting to have China as an ally.
From August 27 to September 3, during several days of air competition, the Allies lost a large number of aircraft, and the air supremacy gradually gained control of the Sino-German Air Force.
Now, the next phase of the "meat grinder" operation can begin...
On September 4, Wang Mingzhang issued an order for the general attack. At 5:30 am on the 4th, the commander-in-chief of the front enemy Jia Haoyang grabbed the phone on his desk...
Ten thousand cannons fired together, and shells roared over the sky and thought about the Allied positions. Americans, British, Canadians, and of course Australians... All of them were trapped in the cover of artillery fire...
This is the roar of the Chinese team's counterattack, and this is also the roar of the Axis powers' counterattack!
Action code-meat grinder!
Artillery fire enveloped every corner of the battlefield, and Allied soldiers huddled in their trenches, enduring endless artillery fire.
They have lost their maritime advantage and their air superiority, what about now?
Then, a large number of Chinese soldiers appeared on the battlefield. On their wings, there were German soldiers whose confidence had been improved like never before.
"Go forward, soldiers!" Jia Haoyang gave the simplest order to his troops!
Go ahead, soldiers!
Countless Chinese and German soldiers jumped out of their positions, and then launched a tide-like attack on the enemy's positions under the cover of cannons, planes and tanks.
Those "thunder", "electric", "tiger", and "leopard" tanks appeared one by one on the battlefield, the artillery on the tanks were roaring, and the machine guns on the tanks were roaring... Their tracks ruthlessly crushed the position and ruthlessly advanced towards a set goal.
No power can stop them, the only one who can stop them is themselves!
The Chinese and German infantry accompanied the tanks and rushed towards the enemy's positions. They crossed the trenches one by one, and then used their weapons to destroy the enemies in the trenches one by one.
Then, they will not stay on the position they have seized for an extra second, and then continue to move towards the new target.
In their eyes, there is no end to the battle. Only when all the Allies are driven out of Sicily will they stop their progress...
In the diary of a German officer, it was written:
"...I was shocked by this attack method. Our allies China has too many aircraft, too many tanks, too many cannons, too many soldiers... Their soldiers are so elite and so brave. They strictly abide by the "infantry combat code". They are like a carefully debugged precision machine, meticulously completing the tasks they should complete without any deviation... While I was shocked, I had to feel grateful that we had such allies.
When the Chinese are hostile, there is no doubt that we will lose this war again. Fortunately, such a terrible thing did not happen... Now I can be sure that we will definitely win this war, and there is no force to stop our advance... The counterattack in Sicily is just the beginning. We will soon fight to London, New York, and every city we want to enter... Of course, this premise is that the armies of China and Germany always fight closely together..."
This diary of the German officer represents the voice of most German officers and soldiers.
Now, the battlefield is taken over and completely controlled by the Chinese. The soldiers of the Chinese SS in gray-black military uniforms and steel helmets were expressionless. They were cold and ruthless. They loyally completed every task assigned to them by their superiors and never gave any discounts. They tirelessly launched these attacks and won one victory after another. They made the entire battlefield tremble in front of them.
The scale of victory is tilting rapidly towards the Axis.
When the counterattack was named "Meat Grinder", this seemed to have meant something. Yes, the entire battlefield has become a huge meat grinder. The lives of countless Allied soldiers were lost in this huge meat grinder...
Alexander, the commander of the Allied Army, was anxious, but he had no solution. It is completely imagined. What kind of mood would be like when he had to see the reports of large numbers of soldiers killed, captured, and missing.
He had mobilized the troops he could as much as possible in an attempt to save the situation on the battlefield, but he was powerless. No matter how many troops he was put into, he would always be swallowed up by the terrible meat grinder.
Now Alexander has to consider the possible failure...
In order to seize the initiative on the battlefield, the Allies carried out this login after careful preparation. The login did not go smoothly at the beginning, but fortunately, they finally achieved the first and second phases of combat goals.
But just as the Allies were about to win and Sicily was about to be controlled by the Allies, and when the war was about to end, the Chinese suddenly appeared!
This is undoubtedly the time to frustrate the Allied officers the most...
What is even more worrying is that the US Pacific Fleet lost the Battle of Midway. Now Midway has fallen into the hands of the Chinese, and they are about to attack the Hawaiian Islands.
Even in the United States, I feel the huge threat of war now...
On September 5, the Sino-German coalition forces completed the first phase of the combat mission. They seized all positions that could be seized, shot dead, and captured more than 28,000 Allied troops.
The Sino-German coalition forces, which won the first stage of victory, did not stop their pace. On the 6th, a new attack began.
"Attack, attack, attack again!" For the commander-in-chief of the front enemy, Jia Haoyang, this is the only order he can give to his soldiers!
Attack, attack, attack again! This is also what Chinese soldiers demand for themselves!
They don’t care about how many enemies there are on their opposite side, and don’t care about how fierce the enemy’s firepower is. In their minds, the only thing soldiers should do.
The panic spread rapidly among the Allied officers and soldiers.
It is completely conceivable that the victory that was about to be won turned into failure, which is frustrating.
What's even more terrible is that the Chinese team showed no sign of stopping the attack. After winning the first stage, they quickly increased the attack. Obviously, they would never give up if they didn't drive all the Allies out of the sea...
What made the Allies feel the same fear was threat from the air.
The Chinese planes bombed the Allied positions again and again, and endless bombs fell like raindrops, breaking the Allied positions into pieces.
Eisenhower, the Supreme Commander of the Mediterranean Allied Forces, was also very worried.
Judging from the current situation, if effective measures are not taken, the Allies will lose the war here. His army commander Alexander sent emergency telegrams to him one after another, but Eisenhower had no way to solve it.
The sea is also controlled by the Chinese, and it is now extremely difficult to replenish Sicily.
"It must retreat." Eisenhower said in a telegram to US President Pete: "Otherwise our army will be completely ruined here."
Just when the Allies were hesitating about retreating or continuing to fight, the Sino-German coalition made another major breakthrough, and the positions defended by the British were completely broken.
"retreat!"
On September 9, in the chaos of the battlefield, the Allies finally received such an order.
The retreat began! The chaos in the scene was embarrassing. Countless Allies rushed to evacuate from the battlefield, while the Chinese planes in the sky continued to bomb the Allies, which made the already chaotic Allies even more chaotic.
"We won." Jia Haoyang said to Wang Mingzhang who came to inspect in his command center.
"We won, but this is only in Sicily." Wang Mingzhang's face was not very excited: "I have received orders from the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff. We will continue to maintain strong attack and deterrence against the Allies as a pioneer."
He paused a little when he said this: "But the first thing we need to do now is to annihilate the enemies here as much as possible and let as few enemies as possible escape here."
"Yes." Jia Haoyang replied calmly but firmly.
The "meat grinder" operation started on September 4, 1943 and ended on September 11. In this counterattack, the Allies lost 82,000 people!
As for the losses of materials, there are countless.
If we only look at the numbers, eighty thousand people or for World War I was tiny, but this sent a signal to the whole world:
Not only has the Chinese team been fully involved in the European war, they are also fully capable of winning. Neither the British nor the Americans, they have no way to stop the Chinese team from the Chinese team.
It's now in Sicily, so where will the next step be? No matter what, it's the Allies' turn to have a headache, and they can't capture the Chinese's next step of combat motivation.
Yu, above Sicily, stopped.
A brilliant rainbow appeared in the sky!
