Imperial Overlord

: 1166 New Guinea

"General Patton, how does it feel to be promoted to the commander of the 1st Armored Army?" Marshall sat in a chair, looked at General Patton who walked in, and asked.

Hanging the military cap on the hanger, Patton straightened the short hair on his head and replied, "The kids are finally a little bit like that now."

The 1st Armored Corps is a main force established by the United States imitating the German armored forces. It is the most powerful force in the United States today.

This unit was formed by General Patton, who was also commanded by this general who was very powerful and had a tough and crisp combat style.

As the saying goes, a group of Mianyang led by a lion can also burst into a tyrannical fighting force. Therefore, the 1st Armored Army formed and led by Patton is also the main force in the main force of the US Army.

Originally in history, Patton had not yet taken over the 1st Armored Army at this time, but because of the Japanese invasion, Patton finally emerged in Marshall's bag of the universe and became a new generation of generals in the US Army.

Anyone familiar with Patton knows that he is almost one of the most capable generals in the United States. Almost like Guderian of the United States, he has a good understanding of armored forces.

In order to form this force, the U.S. Army provided Patton with a large number of tank armored vehicles. Only the first armored division of the United States was assigned about 400 M3lee tanks.

The combat effectiveness of the entire 1st Panzer Army is not even inferior to the German Panzer Army, but the tanks they are equipped with are really bad.

Germany's current front-line main force is equipped with uniform Panther tanks or improved Panther tanks. No matter from which direction, the Panther tanks are more powerful than the backward American M3lee tanks.

Of course, the United States does not intend to let the 1st Armored Corps go to the battlefield like this. What they are waiting for is the more advanced M10 tank destroyer and the M4 Sherman tank.

The untested U.S. armored forces, at this point in time, are by no means comparable to the German armored forces.

"If we put the 1st Armored Division into battle now, do you think it will have a positive effect?" Marshall asked impatiently.

I have to say that the war situation is still quite unfavorable for the United States. Although the United States has achieved certain advantages on the Pacific battlefield, this advantage is far from the huge advantage that Germany achieved on the Soviet-German battlefield.

You must know that Germany has now almost captured the entire Ukraine. Even if it finally enters the winter and the attack has to stop, the German victory is already a real victory.

The advantage gained by the United States only allowed the Japanese army to give up the offensive, and the two sides entered a stage of stalemate. Although in the long run, it is certain that the United States will defeat Japan, but in the short term, the United States will not be able to defeat Japan and make it give up resistance.

If you really calculate it carefully, the United States will not necessarily be able to defeat the Japanese army on the Pacific battlefield in the next year, that is, 1942, and make Japan surrender.

But looking at the current Soviet-German battlefield, maybe in the summer of 1942, the winner will be decided! If the United States does not have a good way to allow the Soviet Union to withstand the German attack, then Germany will defeat the Soviet Union before the United States defeats Japan.

At that time, perhaps Germany will immediately turn its guns to attack the United States, and the United States will be attacked by the enemy on both sides, and will fall into the embarrassing situation of fighting on two fronts.

"If it is to fight against the Japanese army, my unit has no problem at all... However, if it is to fight against the German army, it is not fully prepared." Patton replied.

"Those son of a **** Germans are really powerful. I have studied their war cases. They are very cunning and very effective." Patton's words were rude, but that was the truth.

The use of the German armored forces in France, as well as the actual combat of the armored forces in the Soviet Union, were sorted out and sent to the United States.

For Patton, many classic German tactics are no longer a secret. But the more he knew about this terrifying opponent, the less Barton dared to despise this opponent.

Especially in the Battle of Red Tkach, the German army used a battalion of tank troops to contain a large number of Soviet tanks, and finally held the position and wiped out the Soviet field troops on the periphery of Moscow. It can be said that It is a textbook example of the use of tank troops.

The reason why the German army was able to achieve such a huge victory in Hongtkachi was due to the high combat literacy of the German armored troops on the one hand, and the overwhelming advantage of the German tank performance on the other hand.

Patton had rehearsed the battle over and over again, and found that if American tanks were in that position, it would probably have been crushed by a Soviet attack.

"Of course not against Germany... We have no way to gain the advantage of fighting against Germany in Europe... The above intends to let your troops~www.wuxiaspot.com~ be put into the battle against Japan first." Marshall said.

Having said that, he looked at another general beside him who had been silent for a long time, and introduced to Patton: "This is General Eisenhower, the chief of the war planning department of the Army Staff on the Pacific battlefield."

"Hello!" Barton stretched out his hand with his chin raised and said hello. The other party also politely responded to Patton and stretched out his hand: "Hello!"

"We plan to ship your troops to Australia, and then, together with the Marine Corps, will be sent to New Guinea to fight..." Marshall said his thoughts.

"It's not a good place for armored troops to fight. There is simply no armored army there." Patton refused politely: "Sending the 1st Armored Army there is a waste."

"Unless the Japanese army landed in Australia, it would be a stupid thing to use the 1st Armored Army." He waved his hand and gave his advice: "Infantry should be sent to fight there."

The 1st Panzer Corps is Patton's favorite, so he is very hostile to any plans that are unfavorable to the 1st Panzer Corps.

Obviously, Patton's suggestion had a great influence on Marshall and Eisenhower's final judgment, and the two quickly dismissed the idea of ​​using the armored force during the conversation.

"Okay! Since the commander of the armored force said so, it means that New Guinea is really not suitable for the large-scale operation of the armored force." Eisenhower said a little depressed.

Marshall also sighed regretfully: "It seems that it is really not an easy task to open up a situation in New Guinea."
