After the Russian Empire captured Sicily and Sardinia, it did not launch an attack on the Apennine Peninsula, but built fortifications and large-scale airfields here.
This relieved the entire Caesar kingdom that the Russians would not attack the Apennine Peninsula, at least for the time being.
However, this had a great impact on the North African battlefield.
North Africa, Algiers, the headquarters of Army Group North Africa of the Anti-Russian Alliance were established here.
Reinforcements from the Kingdom of Caesar, the Kingdom of Sibanya and Grape have arrived. At the same time, the Afrika Korps of the Third Reich, the 8th Army of the Sun Never Sets Empire and the 7th Army of the Beacon Country also arrived.
The entire North African Army Group once again regained its strength. And it has become more powerful.
The top officials of the “373” non-army group in the north held a meeting here to discuss the next operation.
The commander of Army Group Group Marshal Rudolf Graziani, deputy commander General Pablo, deputy commander Lieutenant General Erwin Rommel, deputy commander Lieutenant General Bernard Montgomery, deputy commander Lieutenant General George Patton Jr., and Chief of Staff General Fernando attended the meeting.
In the current North African Army Group, there are four deputy commanders.
It’s just that according to the agreement of several major powers of the anti-Russian alliance, the command of the entire army group was the responsibility of Lieutenant General Erwin Rommel, Lieutenant General Bernard Montgomery and Lieutenant General George Patton Jr. The rest, mainly to provide them with assistance and support their decision-making.
“Gentlemen, the Russians suddenly launched an attack on the kingdom of Sicily and Sardinia, and quickly captured them. After capturing the two islands, they did not continue their offensive against the Apennine Peninsula. We speculate that the Russians occupied Sicily and the Apennine Peninsula in order to provide air and sea support to their troops deployed in North Africa, echoing their operations in North Africa. Marshal Rudolf Graziani said.
The Russians did not launch further attacks on the Apennine Peninsula, which also relieved Marshal Rudolf Graziani.
Even the military top of Caesar’s kingdom, he naturally did not want his country to be destroyed by the Russians.
The top brass of Army Group North Africa, the anti-Russian alliance, who attended the meeting, nodded repeatedly.
By now, the intentions shown by the Russians are already very obvious. This is not difficult to guess.
“So, what are we going to do next?” Marshal Rudolf Graziani asked.
He looked primarily at Rommel, Montgomery and Patton. After all, the specific combat matters of the entire North African Army Group were the responsibility of the three of them.
“We suffer from fighting the Russians without air superiority. We have all had this experience in the Plains of Glass, the Nordic Plains, and the North African battlefields. The Russians also tried their best to ensure their superiority! Lieutenant General Erwin Rommel said.
“So are we going to launch an attack on Russian airfields in Sardinia and Sicily?” Lieutenant General Bernard Montgomery asked.
“We simply can’t do that. The airfields of the Russians, although not yet finished, are already under their protection. All the aircraft carriers of their Black Sea Fleet have already been assembled in this sea area. In addition, the Russians also built a large number of airfields in the north of Tumuds, and also deployed a large number of aircraft. The number of warplanes we have deployed in North Africa is not very large. If you want to achieve this goal, you can’t do it at all. Lieutenant General Erwin Rommel shook his head.
“Then take off from Europe and bomb Sardinia and Sicily. Even, bomb the aircraft carriers of the Russians. If only they could destroy their airfields, severely damage their aircraft carriers and the entire Black Sea Fleet. Then the next battle will be more beneficial to us! Lieutenant General George Patton Jr. suggested.
“It’s simply impossible. Our fighters, the range is too short, unless it is taken off from the Apennine Peninsula, it is simply impossible to provide the bomber with the entire escort. And if there is no escort from fighters, if the bomber carries out bombing alone, it is simply to send to death. But the airfields on the Apennine Peninsula were destroyed by the Russian air force. Their purpose is clear, that is, to prevent us from taking advantage of the airport on the Apennine Peninsula0… At least, it is simply impossible for us to repair the airport on the island of Apennine until their airports in Sicily and Sardinia are put into service. Lieutenant General Erwin Rommel said.
“Abominable! The plans of the Russians are really one link after another, interlocking ah! This gives them a great advantage in this war. At the same time, this gives us too small a choice! Lieutenant General Bernard Montgomery scolded.
“The plan of the Russians is indeed very thoughtful. It is indeed very difficult to fight against such a formidable opponent. Lieutenant General Erwin Rommel also sighed.
He never considered being deputy commander of Army Group North Africa to be a good job.
After all, it takes desperation. Or rather, they are needed to win. If you can win, naturally everything is easy to say. If you can’t win, it’s over.
“So what do we do now? Otherwise, while the Russians’ airfields in Sicily and Sardinia were not yet completed and could not be put into use, launch a large-scale attack on the Russians directly and defeat them in one fell swoop. Lieutenant General George Patton Jr. suggested.
Lieutenant General Erwin Rommel thought for a moment, then nodded.
“If there is no other way 4.6, then this may be the only way.” It cannot be dragged any longer, all our troops have already been assembled, and it is impossible to be well prepared. And the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be for the Russians. So we can’t wait any longer. Lieutenant General Erwin Rommel said.
Lieutenant General George Patton Jr. this man is a little reckless, though. However, dare to fight and rush, even in adversity, will not give up easily. And this is exactly what a general should have.
Lieutenant General Bernard Montgomery saw that both Lieutenant General Erwin Rommel and Lieutenant General George Patton Jr. had already made a decision. Well, he also had no way to oppose it, and also expressed support for this proposal. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
This also means that the entire North African Army Group of the anti-Russian alliance has already made a choice.
