【Ding, the system prompts that the host has completed the historical event: blitzkrieg on Boran and provoking World War II, and is rewarded with 2,000 points!】
……
As soon as he logged into the system, Mainz heard a series of rewards.
Because he hadn’t entered the system for a long time, he hadn’t received these rewards. Unexpectedly, so many of them piled up!
Mainz carefully calculated that these several major events added up to about 12,000 points for him. Counting his previous points, Mainz now has a total of 34,500 points!
He was worried before that if he had too few points, he might not be able to buy too many equipment. Unexpectedly, the system gave him such a big gift. Now, Mainz doesn’t need to worry about not having enough points!
After taking a look at the balance of points, Mainz didn’t think much and immediately entered the equipment mall, ready to do some shopping.
Because Hans’s current main opponent is the British Empire in the west, and to attack the British Empire, Hans’s navy needs to have a strong force projection capability.
Force projection at sea needs to rely on landing ships. Large landing ships include tank landing ships, amphibious landing ships, dock landing ships and other types.
The beach landing method was not particularly popular in this era, and countries did not like to try this tactic because it was very dangerous for the landing troops. Even if there was a huge gap in national strength and weapons between the two warring parties, it was difficult to guarantee a successful landing if a fight really broke out.
The most typical example was the Dardanelles Campaign between the British and the Turks during World War I for the Dardanelles.
In this battle, the Allies mobilized 500,000 heavy troops and sent a super-luxury fleet including 11 battleships to assist in the battle!
Judging from the strength on paper, the Allied forces, which were fully ahead in terms of manpower and weapons and equipment, and also had absolute control of the sea and naval artillery assistance, deserved to win this battle.
But the result was that after the Allies invested heavily, paid the heavy price of six battleships including the Triumph and the Colossus, and suffered nearly 300,000 casualties among the 500,000 troops, accounting for 60% of the total troops invested in the battle, the British finally gave up and chose to retreat, thus ending this protracted battle!
This landing battle took place in 1915, but it was only 13 years ago, not too long ago, but the shock caused by this landing battle to people all over the world has now subsided.
It was precisely because of the heavy losses of the British in the Dardanelles that made countries around the world become extremely cautious about landing battles.
The national strength of Turkey is less than one-tenth of that of Japan. Before the Dardanelles, they had always been the sick man of West Asia that was bullied by the European powers at will, and they had never been a country that could resist and fight!
But it was such a weak country that left such a heavy memory for the Allies in this landing battle, which can only mean one thing: the landing battle is extremely difficult and extremely unfriendly to the landing troops!
This understanding is actually correct. The landing operation itself is extremely complicated and difficult. As long as the defenders resist a little more fiercely, it will be difficult for the landing troops to gain a foothold on the beach, and the result of not being able to gain a foothold is to be driven into the sea to feed the fish!
Therefore, during World War II, in order to successfully land in Western Europe, the Allies asked the Bear to launch a large-scale campaign on the Eastern Front to cooperate with the Allied actions.
On the other hand, in the process of preparing for the landing operation, they released all kinds of false information to the Third Reich, causing the Third Reich’s defense forces to be transferred to other areas, and the defense forces in the Normandy area were seriously insufficient!
However, even if the Bears invested 2 million troops and launched Operation Bagration on the Eastern Front in cooperation with the Allies, they tied down a large number of German troops, making the remaining German troops on the Western Front basically second-line troops that could not fight or hastily formed marches.
And even these marches, most of them were transferred to the Strait of Calais area to strengthen defense before the war, because the Germans received intelligence that the Allies would land here.
As a result, the defense of the Normandy region was empty, and the Allies took advantage of the situation and dispatched millions of troops to launch landings in the Normandy region.
This large-scale landing operation, which took more than a year and involved the support of millions of troops, thousands of warships, and thousands of fighter planes, still did not go smoothly.
The Allied landing was blocked at multiple beachheads, and they were suppressed by the German firepower points on the beachheads and could not raise their heads.
The Allied breakthroughs in other areas were also very slow, which resulted in their failure to tear open the German defenses!
At this time, hundreds of thousands of Allied troops were crowded on the narrow beachheads, and they could be pushed back into the sea by the Germans at any time!
At this time, as long as the Germans could mobilize reserve forces and dispatch air forces and artillery to counterattack, the Allied operation carefully planned by the Allies would most likely fail!
However, Rommel was not at the command center again, and failed to deploy the German reserve forces, resulting in the German troops on the front line without reinforcements, and were eventually broken through by the Allies, allowing the Allies to successfully advance the front line more than 20 kilometers inland, so that the threat to their beachhead positions was resolved.
In this way, they could calmly unload a large amount of heavy equipment, such as artillery, tanks, tank destroyers and other equipment at the landing site, and continuously put them into the battlefield, further tearing open the German defense line, thoroughly consolidating their positions, and making this landing operation win the final victory!
Hans in 1944 was not Hans in 1942. With a large number of elite troops being exhausted by the Soviet army on the Eastern Front, the landing war jointly launched by the two world powers, the British Empire and the British Empire, was almost driven into the sea to feed the fish. It can be seen how difficult it is to fight a landing operation!
The place where Hans is going to land now is the homeland of the British Empire, and the British Empire will never surrender. They will definitely take up arms and rise up to resist. This battle can be predicted and will definitely be an extremely tragic battle!
Therefore, in order to prevent the German army from suffering heavy losses and to prevent the landing troops from being pushed back into the sea, Mainz must make the best preparations for them so that they have the ability to defeat the defenders head-on!
And to achieve this, the best way is to send a large number of tanks in the first wave of offensive, and they must be heavy tanks with extremely strong protection!
In this way, the German landing troops can rely on these heavy tanks to fight!
