"No, I have to retreat!"

When night fell on August 30, this sentence became a consensus among the senior leaders of the Joint Conference.

At dawn that day, the main German landing forces landed in Victoria Harbor. Relying on the support of the left-behind troops, the Air Force Wing quickly launched. At around 9 o'clock, the planes that raided the Roosevelt armored cluster in the air were dispatched. A large number of armored grenadiers rushed out of the freighter, not only took over Victoria's defense on the spot, but also advanced forward, preparing to provide support for the offensive spearhead of the Shoken Cluster.

After one day, the German army fought continuously. Not only did Rommel's troops fully deploy, but the German air force also launched the entire battlefield with a magnificent momentum and fought for air supremacy in the entire airspace. It shot down 519 US Army Aircraft aircraft with 97 losses (many crews parachuted to the US military controlled area, and the losses were not as exaggerated as aircraft). The day before yesterday, Admiral Arnold just added nearly 600 aircraft to South American Army Airlines, and HNA drew more than 100 aircraft, which was exhausted in a blink of an eye. After the German army fully deployed three rebels, the number of aircraft on the Brazilian front line has increased to 1,500.

Not only did the German army have a much higher personnel quality than the US army, but now it has an overwhelming advantage in number and can no longer shake this situation. As a large number of German troops landed on the shore, the ground battle of the 5th Army became increasingly difficult: although Rommel had only one heavy armored battalion in order to speed up the landing, and the rest were infantry and land combat brigades, the wealthy American Empire left a large amount of heavy equipment in the warehouse, on the dock, and on the freighter, and the German light infantry division was immediately upgraded to a heavy armored grenade division on the spot.

Isn't it just Sherman, an old friend! The German army has been used as a service tank after seizure, and it is no longer familiar. Now it is still very easy to use for combat. However, Pershing has never been a big deal before, and this time he happened to go wild with Tiger 2. In order to prevent accidental attacks, all the white star signs on these tanks were painted off, and the temporary ten thousand or iron cross symbols were hung on their heads, which looked very funny, but they still made the US military vomit blood.

Marshall replaced Patton to command the command in order, originally hoping that they would counterattack and push the German troops into the sea, but he hoped that Patton would defeat the evenly matched German army under the premise of the German superior air force and superior navy. Even Patton himself dared not have such a dream. Now he can only stabilize the defense line as much as possible and respond to the retreat of the Roosevelt group as soon as possible.

The large loss of aviation forces has made the Army Air Force unable to hold on. Although the personnel losses are not as exaggerated as the Battle of Iceland, many parachuting crews were rescued by the US military themselves, after all, the crew cannot return to the battlefield in the short term. The rapid force has caused the Army Air Force, which finally recovered a little vitality after the Battle of Iceland, to bleeding again. The pilots avoided the battle, feared the war, and disobedience began to appear, making General Arnold anxious. After the vitality of Hawaii Army Air Force was severely injured, it entered a rest period, and South America suffered greater losses and urgently needed rest.

Although the order to retreat has been issued, it is not so easy to execute. While responding to the retreating naval officers and soldiers, Patton also had to distract himself from the city and the fleet of the declining soldiers and the Fargo Aircraft Units.

After learning that the German army had made a massive landing in Victoria, Patton knew that the Roosevelt cluster was absolutely difficult to defend in the direction of Port Seguru. Before the Joint Conference ordered it, he immediately asked Roosevelt Jr. to retreat and move closer to the headquarters of the Fifth Army.

Roosevelt Jr. commanded more than 10,000 troops to fight and retreat, and retreated in two days, but he was nearly 300 kilometers away from El Salvador and 250 kilometers away from their closest friendly troops. The German Schoken group behind him was chasing him. Moreover, Roosevelt Jr. did not dare to retreat to the west, because once he entered the hilly area, his heavy troops were caught blindly. After allocating trucks for the naval officers and soldiers to retreat, his vehicle dispatch was greatly reduced, forcing him to rely on the roads and natural landforms to carry out sluggish battles.

Fortunately, I received enough supplies and supplies when I landed in the Port of Saigulu, and I supported it in such a fierce battle. Fortunately, there was a rainy rain this evening, which turned the land mainly hitting the plains into mud, and partly delayed the Germans' pressing attack pace.

"Sir, the troops are ready and can set off at any time." A staff member with a haggard face and a mixed body of smoke, sludge and rain whispered.

Taking advantage of the rainy night created by the misty rain, Roosevelt planned to let the main force retreat first. For this reason, he not only arranged a regiment to stay behind the back, but also made the retreating troops give up all the heavy artillery and other heavy equipment. Even some heavy tanks planned to give up the troops, and they didn't have much fuel and had to save the vital trucks and armored vehicles. Heavy tanks and other oil tigers had to give up at this time. As for other materials, they were not closely related to maintaining the battle and had to be connected.

He had no idea that on this rainy night, Rommel's terrible judgment and battlefield intuition were eyeing his cluster.

In the command center where Clark had been, he carefully studied the map and said to Gauss: "You quickly contact the navy and let the last Marine Brigade go to the Kamamu area to land on the beach, and let the artillery formation draw some battleships to support..."

Kamamu happened to be stuck between Salvador and the Port of Seguru, and Gauss immediately understood what he meant: "You want to eat the American teacher in the south?"

Rommel nodded: "Sauken said that this US military division was very tough. It was a mixed heavy-armed unit of the 1st Division of the US Army and the 1st Cavalry Division. It is considered an elite US military force and its status is equivalent to our Great German Division. I want to eat it all. I cannot let such troops go back to make up for it!"

"The Fifth Army of the US Army in front of him may send troops to the south to respond. If a force is stuck, it will lead to a double attack."

"The Fifth Army is better to go south. I am worried that I can't catch them when they retreat to Recife, so I might as well eat this army together! Let the First Marine Brigade hold me back! Holm's heroes will not be afraid of being surrounded! As long as I persist for three days, I can wipe them out all of them!" Rommel waved his hand, "Let the troops near Victoria not worry about the retreat, nor wait for the entire system to unfold. How many troops are put into the attack and rush forward on the whole line. Now the US Navy has no ships, so we can fight wherever we want!"

"First Brigade, Attack!"

With Rommel's order, the German Marine First Brigade (Holm Brigade), who was about to get ashore, quietly turned around on this rainy night on August 30 and headed straight to Kamamu. According to Rommel's request, Maschel drew the Tirpitz, Venetto and two Italian cruisers, and four destroyers rushed to protect.

The battlefield in South America has now completely turned into a mess, but the German army firmly took the initiative. The consequences of the US Navy being eaten were exposed in the blink of an eye. As Rommel said, if you have the advantage of the naval force, you can fight wherever you want. In order to cooperate with the cooperation, even the Crank fleet rushed out of Argentina with three battleships and other light warships that were urgently repaired.

On August 31, the German Holm Brigade successfully landed on the beach and quickly intercepted the main force of the retreating Roosevelt cluster. Although the land brigade did not have much heavy equipment, it was just right to deal with the US military that had just abandoned a large number of tanks to retreat. After dawn, the F-190, which was assigned to the Flying Fortress Division, launched another ground attack, forcing the US military retreat brigade to be further dispersed. The troops of nearly 10,000 people,

"What?" Patton exclaimed in disbelief, "Gen. Roosevelt Jr. is surrounded?"

"This is the telegram. General Roosevelt Jr. led an infantry regiment to defend the rear and cover the other troops thoroughly." The staff members said in an anxious tone. "Not only is General Roosevelt Jr. in danger, but the troops he arranged for retreat were blocked by the Germans on the line of Kamamu and could no longer go north."

"The naval retreat cluster didn't just come from there, how could there be a German army suddenly?"

"Last night, the German army sent troops to grab the beach, and the troops were not large, but the Germans had naval guns and aircraft covers, which stuck on the road and it was difficult to walk in other directions."

"Sir, let's go and pick them up?"

Patton shook his head in pain: "You can't go. If we go, once the German army breaks along the Paraguazu River, the entire army will be surrounded! Who will save us at that time?"

"Sir, General Marshall sent a telegram, let us get back to Roosevelt's cluster as soon as possible and retreat!"

"Report Washington, the Roosevelt cluster is surrounded and I need 2,000 planes to cover us!"

However, where can we draw 2,000 aircraft? Recife Land and Indian Airlines have only less than 600 aircraft left, even the Luftwaffe Air Force and German Airlines in El Salvador cannot defeat, let alone go to Saiguru or Kamamu to rescue the Roosevelt cluster.

At 14:00 p.m. on August 31, the 16th Regiment of the 16th Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division of the US Army, which was rushing forward, was surrounded and annihilated. The division's deputy commander, Brigadier General Roosevelt Jr., was killed in the battle. In order to eliminate this unit with less than 3,000 people, the German army still suffered more than 1,000 casualties while having an absolute advantage.

Once this big stone lies across the road was removed, more than 60,000 troops of the Shaoken Cluster rushed to the main force of the Roosevelt Cluster like wild horses.

At the moment when the 16th Regiment was destroyed, the main force of the Roosevelt cluster launched three shocking and desperate attacks on the blocking German Holm Brigade, but each time it was smashed by the German army like a wave on the reef. When the defense line was about to collapse, Wu Keman, who served as the major general brigade commander of the First Brigade and commanded the troops in the Holm encirclement, calmly pinched off the cigarette butts and directly reported the coordinates to the battleship Tilpitz in the distance, "Fire! Intercept and shoot!"

The 381mm main artillery shell immediately exploded in the crowd, and the recent shock waves of the shells were even less than 15 meters away from the German army's own frontline defense line.

Everyone was scared and sweated. If the Navy had a little sight, they would have been burned.

Wu Keman smiled at the staff and said, "Why don't I let the Veneto open fire? Because I know that the Italians' drug-taking guns are a bit bad..."

This round of artillery completely destroyed the courage of the remaining officers and soldiers of the Roosevelt group. They retreated like a tide and ran towards the deep hills under the command of the officers, preparing to detour from there and join the friendly forces of the Fifth Army. Some of them simply chose to surrender...
