Jagged Germany

Chapter 1028: Confrontation of the Marine Corps (seeking monthly ticket)

??In the waters near the Azores, the joint attack of the German Navy's home fleet, the Atlantic Fleet, and the aircraft carrier fleet on the US fleet has ended. Except for a small number of fish that slipped through the net, the main force of the other US fleets have been wiped out. For the U.S. Navy, this battle was undoubtedly tragic. Because, except for some small and medium warships, the rest of their capital ships were all sunk, and they returned to before liberation again.

??Of course, with the shipbuilding strength of the United States, it is not a big problem to rebuild those warships. However, the real gap is mainly those experienced sailors! In this battle, the personnel of the US Navy also suffered heavy losses. A qualified naval soldier requires long hours of training.

??It can be said that after experiencing this disastrous defeat, it is impossible for the U.S. Navy to regain its strength within ten years. The German Navy can continue to dominate the Atlantic Ocean within ten years, and no other opponent can challenge it.

?? After solving the American fleet, what Germany has to solve in this battle is undoubtedly the U.S. Marine Corps that landed on the Azores. After losing the reinforcements of the navy, the US Marine Corps on the island has undoubtedly become a turtle in a urn.

??On the battleship "Bavaria", the flagship of the Atlantic Fleet, Lieutenant General Alexander Linsingen, commander of the German Marine Corps, is discussing the next battle situation with Lieutenant General Burdick, commander of the Atlantic Fleet, and Lieutenant General Schmidt, chief of staff.

"General Linsingen, according to the information we have received, the 1st Division of the U.S. Marine Corps is currently stationed on several islands in the eastern part of the Azores. The U.S. Marine Corps on San Miguel Island has the largest number of tens of thousands. People. The 2nd Division of the U.S. Marine Corps is mainly deployed on the islands in the west of the Azores, with the division headquartered on Terceira Island. In addition, there is a brigade of British Marines deployed on Pico Island. The entire Azov There are almost 50,000 American and British Marines on the Isles,” Lieutenant General Burdick said.

"However, that is the previous figure. The home fleet and us conducted a bombardment of the islands in the Azores, which is estimated to have caused a lot of losses to the Americans and the British. Now the Americans and the British on the island There should not be as many British people as before," Lieutenant General Schmidt said.

Lieutenant General Alexander Linsingen nodded: "The 1st Division of the Marine Corps has arrived, and the 2nd Division is already on the way and will arrive soon. Two Marine Divisions are enough to sweep the entire Azores Islands." .However, we still need the strong support of the navy for the next battle. Otherwise, even if we can eliminate those enemies on the island, we will still suffer a lot of casualties.”

"Don't worry, the orders received by the Atlantic Fleet and the Home Fleet are to fully cooperate with your actions. The Americans have rejected the armistice conditions proposed by the Empire to the United States. Therefore, His Majesty has issued an order, let us use the strongest Firepower, wipe out these enemies on the Azores!" Lieutenant General Burdick said.

?? In the next battle, the German Navy did exactly that. All the warships of the Atlantic Fleet and the Home Fleet were bombarding the Azores. Whether it is a capital ship or a small and medium-sized warship, they have all joined it. Even the carrier-based planes of the aircraft carrier joined in. Fighters used aviation machine guns to shoot at the U.S. and British troops on the island, and bombers bombed the fortifications of the U.S. and British troops on the island, clearing the way for the German marines to attack. .

??It can be said that this war is very unfair to the US and British marines on the island. They have no support and can only rely on themselves. But the German Marine Corps can get the most powerful fire support from its own side. This caused the U.S. and Marine Corps on the island to suffer heavy losses before they met the German Marine Corps.

?? "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

?? Violent explosions sounded on San Miguel Island. These are two "Bavarian-class" battleships of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet, which are crazily firing on the island. Under the guidance of the seaplane, the two "Bavarian-class" battleships are using naval guns to precisely clear the fortifications of the US Marine Corps on the island.

?? "My God! B Company must be doomed. Their position was hit by the German heavy-caliber naval guns."

?? "This is horrible, they must have been blown to pieces."

?? "How long are we going to persist here? Enduring the heavy shelling of the Germans day and night, I don't know when they will be torn to pieces! Such a day, it is better to die."

?? "Yes! This is the Azores, far away from our homeland. But why are we here?"

??Because the losses are increasing, and the news that the US fleet has been wiped out has spread, the US Marine Corps on the island has lost confidence. Many people want to go back to the United States. But unfortunately, they can't escape here no matter what.

?? "Listen, we are fighting for the American Republic! The government is already trying to find a way to save us back. However, the Germans have put forward very harsh conditions. The government is negotiating with the Germans." An officer said.

?? "Shit! What do you think? In fact, we have been abandoned!" A soldier roared angrily.

??The officer wanted to justify again, but in the end he couldn't say anything. Indeed, if the government had had its way, the Germans would have stopped shelling them. Obviously, the talks between the two sides have collapsed.

??The powerful bombardment of the German Navy has almost destroyed the courage of these officers and soldiers of the US Marine Corps.

?? On February 22, the 2nd Division of the German Marine Corps arrived in the Azores. The German Marine Corps' attack on the Azores also officially kicked off.

??The 1st Division of the German Marine Corps, with the assistance of the Atlantic Fleet, is responsible for sweeping the eastern islands of the Azores. The 2nd Marine Division, assisted by the Home Fleet, swept the western islands of the Azores.

?? Under the cover of the navy's fierce naval gunfire, the German marines launched a landing operation on the islands of the Azores. The U.S. Marine Corps, which suffered heavy losses and nearly collapsed its will to fight, could not resist the landing of the German Marine Corps at all. The German Marine Corps completed the landing with extremely small casualties, and under the cover of naval gun fire, began to wipe out the US Marine Corps on the island.
