After the bombardment, the armored division was at the front, and the light infantry division was at the back. They broke through directly and then expanded. This was Wesley's old tactic, and it was also the most useful. Meanwhile, the armored division rushed forward without stopping. The land-based fighter jets covered casually and attacked the enemy artillery positions. The air fighter jets took off to meet the enemy air force. The configuration of the China-US alliance was more reasonable.
Less than an hour after the bombardment, the telegrams that broke through the enemy lines came flying in like snowflakes. The command center was filled with cheers and thunder. Wesley was indeed quiet, as expected.
Even if the opponent was Zhukov, Wesley was not surprised that it went so smoothly. It was possible that the other party wanted to lure the enemy in. Wesley would not be careless in terms of logistics. At the same time, there was no problem with the deployment of troops. If you used the method of luring the enemy, Wesley would guarantee that he would be doomed.
Wesley looked at the map. The staff officers were constantly marking the speed and distance of the troops' advance. Then he began to adjust. He could not let the troops go deep alone. After all, the other party also knew guerrilla warfare. However, the battle line was so long that it was basically impossible for the other party to gather the main force, no matter how fast they moved.
After continuously breaking through the enemy's defense line, the Soviet Union suffered heavy casualties. Meanwhile, the Navy reported that the Soviet Pacific Fleet had been destroyed in the military port and had begun to bombard Vladivostok. Wesley directly ordered, "Surround the area here. Ground troops are not to attack. Let the Navy bombard them every day. The troops continue to advance, but they must not let the people inside out." Wesley pointed to Vladivostok on the map.
"Yes." The staff officer went to deliver the order.
The deputy commander-in-chief asked at the side, "Does the commander-in-chief not want to increase the casualties?"
"That's right. In the hard turtle shell, just don't move and let it shrink. When we solve the Asian part, they should have surrendered by then. Why increase the casualties? They don't have a navy, and the air force is exhausted. Let them guard here. It's a critical time now. We only have three months. After that, we will enter the defense phase. After all, there are too many things to build in the summer. Otherwise, we will suffer greatly when winter comes." Wesley is most worried about the winter here.
"Napoleon was defeated in winter. Although the Germans were not defeated, it was difficult to move in winter. We should really pay attention."
"There are too many things we have to do in the summer. They will inevitably destroy the railway. We need to repair it and clean up the remnants at the same time. You have to take back your homeland. We have to build some political states here and at the same time, we have to build a defense line between Eurasia. These things require a lot of manpower. How are the workers you have gathered?"
"There's no problem with that. With the food and agricultural machinery you support, we can basically meet the food we need now. The labor force has been liberated and we have enough manpower to work."
"That's good. In this way, you can also increase your industrial population. The large land collected is suitable for mechanized farming. Although it is only one season a year, the area is large enough. When the time comes, the Russians will be moved out and you will be able to relieve the tension of your land by immigration."
"But our defense line is a little too long."
"There's nothing you can do about it, but you can occupy more land. No one is really going to measure these. There are a lot of resources here. You'll make a profit no matter what."
"Hahaha…" The two of them laughed and the staff officers around them were confused.
The offensive continued. The frontline troops fought for two days before taking turns with the follow-up troops. They did not stop moving forward and attacked all the way without giving the other party a chance to rest. Meanwhile, Zhukov was completely unable to stabilize the front line and kept retreating. In the end, he had no choice but to start a retreat, otherwise, he would be eaten up.
They did not have the advantage in terms of equipment or quality of soldiers. Zhukov could only use the old method and retreat directly, then wait for winter to come. In less than three months, the army directly occupied the Asian part of the Soviet Union, but they did not continue to move forward and began to build.
Wesley had been well prepared for winter.
The combined power of a huge amount of manpower and natural resources was terrifying. All preparations were completed before winter. Wesley was relieved, and the Soviet Union once again faced the dilemma of fighting on two fronts.
Dividing the troops was imperative. Germany could only help the Soviet Union defend, otherwise they would also be unlucky. After dividing the troops, the pressure on the Western Front increased greatly, and the American-supported air force directly began to bomb every day, while the landing site was still chosen for Normandy.
Wesley's Marine Corps and Landing Ship, trained by Wesley, were ready. Wesley had arrived. He was the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces. He would not take orders from the British, and no one in the British would dare to command him.
On the day of the landing, Wesley directly ordered the warships to bombard the beach. The HNA took off and bombarded the beach. Then, ten large landing ships lined up and directly washed the beach. The ten large landing ships did not need to be filled with people, but tanks.
The landing ship directly hit the beach and was stranded there. It also relied on inertia to rush up. Then, the tanks directly rushed out, and then the landing boats brought the Marines ashore. There were dozens of tanks on the ten large landing ships, and they directly hit the beachhead defense line. Then, the cannons began to extend. The loss of ten landing ships was worth it, and at least a lot of people could be spared.
It was the same in other places. Wesley had to send dozens of tanks up first, and he didn't care how many ships he lost. The Marines were trained for this time, and they could deal with different situations. The landing field was completely open, and then the engineers who built the simple dock landed.
By this time, World War II was basically over, and even if the nuclear bomb was developed, the United States would not use it. This was Europe, and the United States would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
