Chapter 403: They actually transferred us to the Middle East?
As the sound of the cloth ripping machine sounded, the German soldiers, led by Lieutenant Fred, began to rush towards the target in front of them.

The powerful firepower made the British troops on the position dare not raise their heads for a moment.

The rest of the German soldiers took the opportunity to move forward.

The German squad tactics were centered around machine guns.

Because the MG42 machine gun has a long range and powerful firepower, the German army's tactics rely heavily on machine guns.

Only after the machine gun has completely gained the upper hand will they continue to move forward.

"Wang Defa, why is the German firepower so strong?"

"Damn it, can anyone tell me why there are German troops here?"

"Son of a bitch, I want to kill these German soldiers."

"Fuck, where are the machine guns? Where are our machine guns?"

"Damn..."

For a moment, the British positions were filled with roars.

They also didn't expect that the German army would move along the trenches.

At this moment, Fred and his men had already reached the trench.

It has to be said that the British Army is quite good at building trenches.

At least the trenches are now built luxuriously.

The walls are all made of cement, and it is obvious that the British army is making long-term plans.

If they had not relied on tactics to sneak into the trenches, it would have been basically impossible to blast open the trenches with their limited firepower.

At least that's what Fred thought.

Holding an MP38 submachine gun, Fred fired randomly into the distance.

In a battlefield where bullets are flying everywhere, don't expect to be able to aim and then shoot.

Just pick up the weapon and shoot randomly. Whether you can hit the target depends entirely on luck.

The main thing is fire suppression to create fear in the other party's heart.

If this happens, you will fall into panic.

As long as people panic, all kinds of mistakes will occur.

On the battlefield, these mistakes can be fatal.

The one who fires first is king.

No matter whether you hit the target or not, scaring others will give you the opportunity to fire a second shot.

These are the experiences that the veterans gained with their blood.

The British troops were indeed frightened and shrank back.

Seeing this, Fred immediately signaled his men to take out grenades.

He counted to three silently, then threw them all towards the British trenches in the distance.

boom!
boom!
boom!
A series of explosions sounded.

The screams of the British soldiers were heard in the trenches.

Seeing this, Fred rushed out first.

Da da da!
Da da da!
Seeing a British soldier still crawling on the ground, Fred immediately pulled the trigger, sending the man directly to see God and relieving his pain.

Seeing this, the other soldiers followed suit and pulled the trigger at the British soldiers who were still breathing.

Not long after, the soldiers carrying the military flag hoisted the flag, which meant that this place had been occupied by the German army.

Then the Air Force will not come to bomb, otherwise, they may be bombed by their own fighter planes.

Not far from them, the first group of landing troops had begun to advance deep into the British territory.

.........

"How's the landing going?" Keitel, who had been waiting for news, looked at the adjutant who came to deliver the news and asked.

"The first batch of troops has completed landing and is advancing in depth." The adjutant said quickly.

Hearing this, Keitel was stunned. He didn't expect the landing to be so smooth.

"What about the British army? How will they perform?" Keitel was now very curious about what arrangements the British army would make.

"It seems that there is not much performance. Their main forces are still in Dover and Brighton. They still think that we will place the main attack there." The adjutant scratched his head and said.

Several other people nearby also started laughing.

Keitel was looking at Dönitz standing aside.

He didn't expect that the landing force of tens of thousands of people would have such a big surprise.

Now he is hesitating whether to continue sending reinforcements and landing.

"Marshal Dönitz, what do you think?" After thinking for a while, Keitel looked at Dönitz beside him.

In response, Dönitz did not answer immediately, but thought about it.

At the same time, he felt great admiration for Cun Yunsheng, whom he had never met before.

This move, which was both real and fake, scared the British army.

Even if they were in his place, they probably wouldn't be able to figure out the other party's true direction of deploying troops.

The British army thought that the German army was landing on a large scale, but in fact, it was just a test.

Even the German army's initial goal was to catch the big fish, the Royal Fleet.

I just didn't expect the landing to be so smooth.

So much so that now Dönitz is a little confused.

Whether to continue landing or wait for the arrival of the Royal Fleet.

The current German army is similar to the British army, and no one knows what the intention of the next attack will be.

"Actually, I don't know either." Dönitz spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.

Field Marshal Keitel was not surprised by this, because he had not intended to actually land on the British Isles from the beginning.

After thinking for a while, Marshal Keitel spoke.

"To be honest, if the British army really withdraws its main force from Dover Port, I might send more troops to land on the British Isles."

"After all, it is really close, which will save a lot of time and the logistical pressure will be much less."

"At least, our Dr. Speer wouldn't be so tired, and wouldn't complain to me so much."

At the end, Keitel couldn't help but make a joke.

The logistical pressure on the German army has been extremely great since the beginning of the war.

When we attacked France, we could rely on the perfect infrastructure and there were not many complaints about logistics.

But as the war between the Soviet Union and Germany broke out, the poor infrastructure put increasing pressure on the German army's logistics, leading to many complaints.

Even though Speer tried every possible way to make adjustments, it still didn't work.

Thanks to the newly opened front, there were only tens of thousands of German troops, and supplies were barely available.

If the scale is really expanded, I'm afraid we won't be able to bear it.

So Speer kept complaining.

In this regard, Speer could only say helplessly.

"Fighting on multiple fronts is really stressful for logistics. I suggest not to increase the number of troops."

"Stabilizing the eastern front is the most important thing right now."

Although Speer is not a military commander, all equipment production is now in his hands and he still has a certain say.

At least the generals will listen to it.

"What is the reaction of the Allied forces in the south?" Keitel did not answer immediately, but asked about the situation in North Africa.

According to his understanding, the US military absolutely does not want to see the fall of the British Isles, otherwise they will have no springboard if they want to attack the European continent.

"There has been no response so far. It seems that they don't care about our landing at all."

"Maybe the scale of the landing is too small and they don't care." Dönitz added at the right time.

Keitel did not refute this. In the past two years, they had also sent small troops to land, but they all failed without exception.

If the follow-up troops could not keep up, it meant that the landing would inevitably fail. "Yes, it is possible." Keitel nodded, and then looked at Speer beside him.

"How is the North African Legion going? Have the supplies arrived?"

Hearing this, Speer quickly stood up and said.

"Most of the supplies have arrived, but the rest will take some time."

Hearing this, Keitel nodded again, was silent for a while, and then spoke.

"In that case, let's maintain the status quo and continue with the previous plan."

"Also notify Rommel to cross the Suez Canal to test the Allied reaction."

In fact, at this time Keitel had already begun to fully implement the plan that Cun Yunsheng had arranged for the German army.

That is to cross the Suez Canal and occupy the entire Middle East peninsula.

Apart from anything else, the rubber resource was something the German army could not refuse.

"Yes." Everyone had no objection to this.

.........

After receiving the order, Rommel's North African Corps crossed the canal easily.

After the German army crossed the canal, the shock it caused was huge.

Apart from anything else, Cun Yunsheng was directly called to Imphal by Stilwell.

This made him very puzzled. What happened again?

Could it be possible to ask him to speed up?

He felt that the current speed was already very fast.

After all, he doesn't have a strong navy and he also has to consider the pressure of logistics.

When I met Stilwell, I found that this guy had gained weight.

Yes!

Because he was no longer troubled, Stilwell gained weight for the first time in his life.

However, judging from the other person's furrowed brows, he must be very troubled.

"General Stilwell, you seem to be worried about something?" Cun Yunsheng asked very considerately.

Hearing this, Stilwell sighed.

"You should know about the European battlefield, right?"

"Well, I heard about it, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with us, right?" Cun Yunsheng asked cautiously.

He felt that even if the European battlefield was bloody, it had nothing to do with them.

Why is Stilwell actually concerned about the situation on the European battlefield?

This surprised Cun Yunsheng a little.

"The German army landed on the British Isles. Their intention is unclear for the time being. It is not clear whether they are really going to land or are deliberately making a feint to the east and attacking in the west." Stilwell said in a heavy tone.

It has to be said that Stilwell was very familiar with Chinese culture and even knew how to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.

"It should be a test, right?" Cun Yunsheng said in a fake tone.

"Well, I also think it is a test. It is absolutely impossible for a landing force of tens of thousands of people to defeat hundreds of thousands of British troops." Stilwell nodded, obviously agreeing with Cun Yunsheng's judgment.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng looked at the other party, waiting for his next words.

He knew that Stilwell would never simply say these two sentences, and he must have other purposes.

"But we cannot prevent the German army from taking the opportunity to expand the scale of the landing, so all parties are very worried about whether to send reinforcements to the British Isles," Stilwell continued.

"We were originally planning to draw reinforcements from the North African battlefield, but not long ago Rommel crossed the Suez Canal and began to occupy the Middle East Peninsula. Currently, he is advancing very fast and has occupied a large area of ​​territory."

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng sneered in his heart. Of course he knew that he also had a contribution in this.

Li Si was doing very well there. Ever since the German army crossed the Suez Canal, Li Si had let the natives act as guides.

It didn't take long for them to occupy a large area of ​​territory, and not only that, they also destroyed many British bases.

"General Stilwell, it seems that these have nothing to do with us." Cun Yunsheng was really curious about the other party's plan, so he pointed it out directly.

Stilwell did not show any dissatisfaction with this, but spoke seriously.

"The White House hopes to transfer an elite force from the Southeast Asian theater to the Middle East to help the troops there resist the German attack."

This time Cun Yunsheng was completely confused.

Draw elite troops to the Middle East?
What a joke.

The Japanese army here has not been completely defeated yet.

Why are they transferring from here?

What about other war zones?
Insufficient troops?

It seems true.

Because of his actions, there is now a shortage of troops in various war zones.

First of all, on the Soviet-German battlefield, the main forces of the Soviet army were basically on the front line.

Originally, a part of the troops were withdrawn to the south to attack Persia, but they soon came to their senses and withdrew the troops.

But according to Cun Yunsheng's understanding, given the Soviet army's greed, they will definitely move south to Persia again.

As for the Soviet troops in the Far East, they still need to guard against sneak attacks by the Japanese, so they cannot be withdrawn.

Then it is unrealistic to draw reinforcements from the Soviet army.

Not to mention the British army, which suffered heavy losses in several wars and is now facing a German landing on its homeland. It is already good enough that they are not allowed to receive support from the US military.

Withdraw troops?

What a joke.

Don’t you see that they can barely hold on to India, yet they’re still withdrawing troops?
I'm afraid the British Empire will surrender on the spot.

That leaves the U.S. military.

The U.S. military is large and powerful, but it cannot withstand the current multi-front operations and has to devote all its efforts to supporting its allies.

As a result, some people are now unable to cope with it.

More importantly, the US military did not have many troops at the beginning of the war.

The existing military forces began to expand only after the outbreak of the war.

But there were only millions of people, and the Pacific battlefield did tie up hundreds of thousands of them.

Hundreds of thousands of people were also sent to the North African battlefield.

All in all, there aren't many troops left.

Although recruitment has begun, it will take some time for the new recruits to be trained.

Moreover, one million is already a lot. If there are more, the US military will not be able to hold on.

So he looked around and found that there were no soldiers available.

We can't just watch the German army occupy the Middle East Peninsula and then connect with the Turkish army in Persia.

That would be great fun.

Finally, they decided to draw reinforcements from the Southeast Asian battlefield.

Looking across Southeast Asia, there seem to be only a few troops capable of fighting.

After much deliberation, it seems that only the Nanyang Task Force can fight.

After figuring out the whole story, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but curse himself, wishing he would have known better than to do these things.

"General Stilwell, can I not go?" Cun Yunsheng thought for a moment and asked cautiously.

"What do you think?" Stilwell looked at him with a smile.

"I think it's okay." Cun Yunsheng asked tentatively.

"Hmph, that's definitely not possible. Don't rush to refuse. I know your difficulties. The current situation in Southeast Asia cannot be separated from the Southeast Asian Task Force, but the situation on the North African battlefield is more important. We are the only one closest to the Middle East now. As for the Japanese troops in Southeast Asia, they have been beaten to death by your troops." Stilwell stretched out his hand, signaling the other party not to be anxious and to listen to him finish.

"The remaining islands are not of much value, and the Japanese army's focus is now on Australia. Drawing some troops will not affect the overall war situation."
