Chapter 257: Chapter 155: [The End of the North African Battlefield] The Birth of the Allied Military Genius (6.8k Double Chapter)
Yu Feng, in the live stream, pulled up the map and explained:
"Currently, the sphere of influence of the Imperial and the Kingdom of Italy in the North African battlefield has been compressed into this corner of North Africa."
"Rommel has already returned to Berlin, and the current commander on the other side is the senior general Messe of the Kingdom of Italy."
"The Allied commanders on this side are Commander Montgomery of the British Commonwealth and Marshal Eisenhower of the United States of America."
"I’m not too familiar with Messe."
"But Eisenhower is indeed in the Hall of Fame."
As he spoke, Yu Feng pulled up Eisenhower’s profile.
[Dwight David Eisenhower (To be unlocked)]
[Title: Supreme Commander of the Allies, Five-star Admiral]
[Rank: Five-star Admiral of the United States of America Army]
[Biography: Born in 1890 to a poor family in Texas, he worked his way into West Point through work-study, lying in wait for 25 years in the military. At 44, he was still a lieutenant colonel. From 1941 to 1944, he was promoted six ranks from colonel to five-star admiral, setting a United States of America record. He commanded Operation Torch (North African Landing) and Operation Overlord (Normandy Landing), amassing 3 million Allied forces and 9,000 ships, successfully opening the second European front with the "feint" tactic.]

Looking at Eisenhower’s profile, Yu Feng felt a toothache:
"Honestly, it’s truly ridiculously impressive."
"In just 3 years, he jumped six ranks to become a five-star admiral."
"Isn’t this like having cheat codes?!"
"But he does indeed have something special."
"Simply commanding that many people and ships is not something an ordinary person could do."
"Opening the second European front must have been the Normandy Landing."
"Speaking of which... when the game first started, we got terribly beaten during the Battle of Normandy."
"Even though it’s been several years since then, the immersive plot’s timeline hasn’t yet reached the ’Normandy Landing.’
"I wonder what the ’Normandy Landing’ will be like in the Immersive Plot mode."
Yu Feng said in the live stream.
The audience in the stream, most of whom had played the ’Normandy Landing,’ knew it had been modified.
It was divided into several landing points, and many viewers found it not difficult.
But back then, there was only Omaha Beach, and it was normal to die a dozen or twenty times in an hour.
Yu Feng was somewhat sentimental in his speech, then switched the topic:
"Currently, the 8th Armored Brigade of the British Commonwealth, along with the New Zealand Division, is advancing toward the Akalit River, while the main force is attacking the Hama region."
"Without Rommel, the other generals of the Imperial really can’t stop the Allied advance."
"Their sphere of influence is continuously being compressed, and this time I shouldn’t die easily; I’m preparing to be a war journalist."
"I strive to survive to the end and broadcast the whole battle live."
Due to his role as a commander, and the current situation totally suppressing the Imperial,
Yu Feng simply took a pair of binoculars, stayed in the car, watched his troops fight, and executed whatever orders were given from above, making sure not to die easily.
The memory of the last death still made Yu Feng gnash his teeth in anger.
Just now knowing of Rommel’s return to his country, those soldiers of the United States of America really took him for some delusional fool from excessive blood loss.
It should be known that it’s been nearly a month.
If there had been any report earlier, he wouldn’t have just found out about Rommel’s return now.
Knowing half a month earlier could have made a difference in many matters.
If there’s a chance to meet those soldiers of the United States of America, he would undoubtedly beat them up, making them realize who really is the fool.
Yu Feng watched as his troops battled.
March 27, the Allies arrived in the Hama region.
March 28, the Imperial began retreating to the Akalit River positions, but the Mareth Line was breached by the Allies.
April 5, the Allies launched a strong attack on the Akalit River front and faced fierce resistance from the Imperial armored forces.
April 7, when the Allies advanced again, they found the Imperial positions empty. After collecting intel from various sources, they learned that the Imperial and Italian forces had retreated to Tunisia and the port of Bizerte.
This was the last struggle of the Axis Powers on the North African battlefield.
Yu Feng’s live streams in these past days have been going too smoothly.
Players who had been consistently oppressed by the Imperial camp found it very satisfying to watch.
Moreover, you could visibly see the Imperial power continuously shrinking on the map.
At this time, in the Polestar Official Website forum.
There were also many discussions about this plot segment, with many people piecing together the plot to create a complete war process.
Although initially the Anglo-American coordination issues led to the failure of the Battle of Kasserine Pass, making Rommel retreat more than 50 kilometers,
with Eisenhower’s mediation and bold delegation of powers,
the command of the 2nd U.S. Army was directly handed over to the British Commonwealth. In the later stages, the fully coordinated Anglo-American Allied Army steamrolled the Italian and Imperial Alliance Army.
It’s just a pity that Rommel returned home due to illness.
Otherwise, Blue Star players would also want to see if Rommel could do anything in this situation.
After all, Rommel is a renowned general of the Imperial, a Hall of Fame figure.
