Chapter 1315 White Ghost
"The Germans will only launch large-scale counterattacks in rainy and foggy weather and at night, which makes our powerful air power unable to be exerted and they are led by their noses. The rhythm of the battlefield must be changed and all the troops of our army take the initiative."
After Chief of Staff Smith finished his summary, Eisenhower said:
"Considering the changing weather in the Arden Mountains and the Air Force does not need to be on standby at any time and anywhere, the Joint Operations General Staff will continue to carry out strategic bombing of the Third Reich and the rear supply lines of the Arden Mountains.
I want to prevent the German troops on the front line from getting supplies and stop their tanks and wheeled vehicles completely.
Dear generals, we must try our best to avoid the deterioration of the situation on the front line. The next week is a tactical adjustment time.
The longer the time goes on, the more tired the Germans become, the less supplies will be, and their combat effectiveness will naturally decline.
A week later, the Allies on both fronts officially launched a large-scale offensive, completely destroying the German Arden counterattack delusion, and let Hitler stay in Berlin honestly and wait to go to the gallows!"
Although the surrender of the two regiments of the 106th Infantry Division made Eisenhower very embarrassed, he has always been good at controlling the overall situation and has a long-term strategic vision, so he is not anxious about the German Arden counterattack.
At the meeting, he once again emphasized the importance of the cooperation between the Allies, and demanded that the British and Canadian troops not be timid and obey the command of the Supreme Command.

The purpose of the meeting is to stabilize the hearts of senior generals and prevent them from acting too flustered and causing mistakes in chaos.
The rhythm of the battlefield must be controlled by the Supreme Command of the Allied Expeditionary Force.
More than an hour later, the military meeting ended hastily.
Eisenhower, Smith, Bradley and others stood in front of the combat map again.
Smith and Bradley were still complaining about the excess of the Joint Operations Staff, but Eisenhower had turned his attention to the frontline war.
"Where have the 101st Airborne Division and the 82nd Airborne Division?" Eisenhower asked with his eyes.
The 101st Airborne Division mainly rescued the 28th Infantry Division surrounded by the German Fifth Armored Army, and the 82nd Airborne Division headed straight for the German Pipp Armored Task Force.
These two divisions are the stabilizing needles used by Eisenhower to stabilize the situation on the front line.
Upon hearing the question, Smith immediately ended his complaint and indicated the current locations of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions on the map.
Both divisions rushed to the front line by vehicles, and compared with previous airborne operations, they had more heavy equipment support.

"They can reach the combat site in a maximum of one day and will not let the situation worsen."
Bradley said with relief.
His First Army was finally able to take a breath, hoping that the boys of the 28th Infantry Division could persevere until reinforcements arrived.
Bradley felt a little sorry for his soldiers. He arranged the First Army outside the Arden Forest, preparing them to rest and relax there.
Unexpectedly, the German army suddenly attacked, and the soldiers who were resting and relaxing were under tremendous pressure.
It took the most painful week.
With the arrival of reinforcements, these troops were finally able to be freed and even had the opportunity to give the Germans a heavy blow, and they had already avenged their original revenge.
But will things really go as smooth as Bradley expected?
...
On the evening of May 28, thick fog suddenly rose in a large area east of the Meuse River, and visibility dropped rapidly.

Allied reconnaissance planes flew over the fog one after another, but the investigators could not see clearly what was on the ground at all and kept shaking their heads.
The officers and soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division who were on the way felt the fog filled with mist and the cold and strange invaded their bodies. They shivered involuntarily and then became alert.
The 101 Airborne Division was also resting, and the division commander left the troops and returned to London to recuperate. When the Arden counterattack broke out, the command of the troops was in the hands of Brigadier General McAuliffe.
It was impossible for their Major General Division to rush back from London. Eisenhower immediately appointed Brigadier General McAuliffe as the acting division commander of the 101st Airborne Division, commanding troops to the southern line to reinforce the 106th and 28th Infantry Divisions.
On the morning of the 28th, Brigadier General McAuliff met the remaining soldiers of the 106th Infantry Division who were abandoned and their division commander Major General Jones.
During the conversation with Major General Jones, McAuliffe gradually realized the harsh situation on the Southern Front.
McAuliffe asked the Air Force to continuously investigate the road ahead and eliminate any ambush.
The Brigadier General was very vigilant and did not allow his troops to become like the 106th Infantry Division and the 28th Infantry Division.
At the same time, McAuliffe was very clear that if the 28th Infantry Division could be successfully rescued this time, he would no longer be the acting division commander of the 101st Airborne Division, and the first two words can be deleted.
Military ranks will also rise.

Therefore, he cherished this opportunity very much, holding on to his energy while constantly reminding himself to act cautiously.
There was a heavy fog in front of me, and the troops set up a long snake formation on the road, which was very fragile.
After a long time, McAuliff ordered the troops to stop operating and wait for the fog to dissipate.
Just let one temporary mixed tank battalion continue to search forward.
At this time, the 28th Infantry Division was surrounded was already very close, and it was possible to fight with the German army at any time.
The battalion commander of the Tank Battalion is Lieutenant Colonel About, whose battalion consists of tanks, armored vehicles, tank destroyers and semi-track vehicles, with strong armored forces.
Lieutenant Colonel Abbott commanded the Tank Battalion to move forward slowly in the fog. Although he could not see clearly the surrounding situation, Lieutenant Colonel still opened his eyes as wide as possible.
He looks forward to military achievements, but he will not make any rash mistakes.
At 6 pm, Lieutenant Colonel About was surprised to find that the rich fog was melting little by little.
The map shows a village not far ahead. Seeing that the visibility has improved, Lieutenant Colonel Abdul asked the troops to increase their speed and strive to camp in the village at night.

The German army's ability to fight at night was stronger than that of our own. If he fought at night, he would not be sure of winning.
The speed of tanks and various combat vehicles gradually accelerated, at around 6:30, the visibility exceeded 100 meters, and the sky gradually became dim.
It was at this moment that the driver of a Sherman tank in the front suddenly discovered a sign of "Minefield" in the middle of the road.
The driver instinctively stepped on the brakes, and the steel beast immediately braked.
The heads of the crew members hit the armored wall, making waves of ouching sounds. A companion was just about to say hello to the driver, but his head hit the armored wall again.
Due to the emergency braking in front, the rear tanks could not brake in time and rear-end.
Now the comrades no longer care about complaining about the driver's recklessness, and they realized that the matter was serious.
The commander got out of the turret. He first looked at the position where the two tanks rear-ended, but soon found that the commander behind was also looking toward the position further behind, and kept scolding.
A brake actually caused a series of rear-end collisions, and dozens of people were injured. This is a big bad thing.
Lieutenant Colonel About, who had been in an observation state, was also dizzy when he was suddenly rear-ended.

I don’t know why the car ahead stepped on the brakes, but Mr. Lieutenant Colonel instinctively felt the danger.
After shaking his head for a moment, he quickly raised his telescope and looked at both sides of the simple logging road.
The sky gradually dimmed, and the dense Arden forest gave people a huge sense of oppression.
"Battery Commander, a minefield suddenly appeared in front of him. The driver of Car No. 1 was now urgent..."
"Swish……………………………………”
Before the deputy battalion commander could finish his words, two dazzling flashes suddenly appeared in Lieutenant Colonel About's telescope.
Immediately afterwards, the tank at the front of the team and a half-tracked car at the end were hit by shells, the turret was thrown high, and the flames burned instantly.
Lieutenant Colonel About seemed to see a white ghost sailing out of the Arden forest.
A few seconds later, another shell was attacking, and the combat vehicles in the team were constantly being blown up.
This was a very bad rear-end collision. There was basically no place to move between the tanks. After the first and rear-end cars were blown up, the entire battalion could no longer move.

Needless to say, all the US soldiers knew they were ambushed, and people kept jumping out of the car and running wildly into the forest on both sides.
Some armored soldiers also wanted to move their tanks, and constantly hitting them back and forth, left and right, making the chaos out of control.
The white ghost gradually appeared in the sight of the US armored soldiers, and they turned out to be five tiger tanks.
The appearance looks a bit weird, perhaps because it is equipped with a night vision device.
Seeing this, the soldier did not dare to hesitate anymore, and hurriedly jumped out of the unmovable tank and ran to the other side.
Every Allied armored soldier has heard of the legend of the white ghost. Although they cursed and didn't care when they heard it, no one really wanted to encounter the white ghost on the battlefield.
This is obviously a trap. Whether there is fog or not, they will be ambushed by white ghosts.
Lieutenant Colonel Abbott looked at the last time, and the burning tanks and vehicles kept gritting their teeth and asking for help from Brigadier General McAuliffe behind.
No one realized that a crisis against the 101st Airborne Division was approaching.
This star force will face a huge test again.
