Introduction to the background of the Allied Death Squad 2

The following is the story background introduction at the beginning of each of the 1 levels of League 2.

Level 1: Night of the Wolves

Historical background: Since June, 194, the German army occupied France and Norway in succession in the battle of the Western Front, and the original extremely unfavorable maritime situation suddenly changed. The German navy quickly established powerful submarine bases in various ports along the coast of Norway and France. Especially from the ports of Laurian, Brost, La Rochelle and Bordeaux in the Bay of Biscay, the submarine can directly enter the Atlantic Ocean, which is 8 kilometers shorter than that from the German base. This greatly strengthened the activity ability of U-boat formation, and the increase in the number of German submarines and the improvement of Marshal Doenitz's "wolf pack" tactics, all of which caused the losses of the Royal Navy and the transport fleet to soar. Although the arrogance of the "wolves" was finally contained by the Royal Navy through unremitting efforts in May 1941, all the supplies and needs transported from the other side of the Atlantic to isolated Britain, especially weapons and gasoline, remained unabated and became increasingly scarce. La Paris, located in La Rochelle, is one of the most important submarine bases in Germany, and its structure is like a solid bunker. The bombing of the Royal Air Force has no effect on the important facilities made of reinforced concrete at La Paris base. And the U boat out of this nest is hitting the Royal Navy with nearly 1, tons of sinking every day!

the second level: imperial submarine-silent killer

historical background: the same as the first level

the third level: white terror

historical background: in May 1945, the number of ships of Britain and its allies sunk by German submarines continued to increase, with a total weight of 7, tons. Since 194, Britain has lost 3.31 million tons of various types of ships, but this unbearable price has finally brought the Royal Navy a long-lost maritime advantage. However, this is limited to the Atlantic Ocean and other European waters, and the North Sea is still the most dangerous area for British and allied ships. There are German submarines and destroyers patrolling around the clock in this sea area, even accompanied by air strikes from Norway, Denmark and northern Germany. Germany is still frantically defending this area that can lead to important docks, ports and industrial zones in northern Germany. Countless icebergs and minefields, together with German destroyers and submarines, have made this sea area a nightmare for allied sailors.

Level 4: Target-Myanmar

Historical background: In May 1942, after successively conquering Hong Kong, Singapore and the Philippines, the Japanese army occupied Thailand and Myanmar in just a few weeks, and its next target was India. The Japanese army plans to deploy a strong force in the Impal area on the India-Myanmar border, advance to Calcutta, the capital of India, and then join forces that landed on the southern coast of India to trap the British-Indian Coalition forces in a cage. Lord Lieutenant General mountbatten, the supreme commander of the British army in the South Pacific Theater, knows very well that winning the Battle of Impal and keeping the Japanese army at the border are the key to the success of the Indian defense war. However, his troops have been hit by the failure for several months in a row, and their strength is insufficient, and they cannot be reinforced because of the encirclement of the Japanese army. It is far from easy to win. At this time, this heroic division stationed in Impal became the only hope for a turning point in the war.

Attachment: The Battle of Impal was a famous battle in World War II. Although the Japanese army had absolute superiority in military strength, it had to rely on the unsafe jungle transportation line and fight with its back against the wide Qindun River. When the rainy season came, its logistics supply was almost completely interrupted, and finally it suffered a fiasco. Western military historians commented that this was the most disastrous battle on land in Japanese history. At the beginning of the attack, there were about 1, people. As a result, 53, people died or disappeared in the battle and retreated to their starting positions. The words of a brigade commander of the British army after the battle can be used to describe the defeated Japanese army: "The enemy has no hope. They can't get food, medicine or anything. They are weak and their mouths are full of weeds.

Level 5: bridge on the river kwai

Historical background: In June 1942, Japanese militarism continued to expand wildly in the Pacific region, and tens of thousands of prisoners were sent directly to prison camps. Due to perennial hunger, epidemics and long-term abuse and beatings, many people died in concentration camps until their bodies rotted. In Thailand, prisoners from a concentration camp were forced to participate in the construction of Tamarkan Bridge, which will become an important part of the life railway connecting Thailand and Myanmar, and Japanese soldiers and strategic materials will be continuously transported to the mainland of Chinese mainland through it. The project was completed on June 17th. On the same day, a special train of Japanese high command will traverse the whole railway line, and of course, it will also cross the bridge erected over the Guihe River.

level 6: artillery on savo island

historical background: on may 28th, 1942, the United States won a great victory in the battle of midway, and after sinking four aircraft carriers of the Japanese joint fleet, the Japanese naval superiority in the south Pacific was wiped out. However, the Japanese army did not realize that its strength was greatly weakened and the strength and morale of the US military were greatly increased, so it decided to continue its attack on the South Pacific islands. It is planned to build an aviation base on Guadalcanal Island first, and then deploy aviation forces to cover the attack on port moresby, new guinea. After gaining a foothold in New Guinea, it will gradually advance to the southeast, advancing on Australia, the most important base of the Allies in the South Pacific, so as to regain the strategic initiative. After learning this information, the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States decided to launch the largest amphibious attack since the start of World War II, code-named "Watchtower". The "Watchtower" operation stipulates that the United States will attack Guadalcanal and Tulaji Island at the same time, and the two forces will be launched through the north and south waterways of Savo Island respectively. However, this small island, located in the north of Guadao, has a strong defensive ability, and there are giant guns in the underground fortifications, which can resist the bomber's attack. If you forcibly land on Guadao under such circumstances, it would be tantamount to suicide. Therefore, the capture of Savo Island became the key to the action of "Watchtower".

the seventh level: the giant of coastal defense

Historical background: In the spring of 1944, Vietnam was nominally a colony of France, but in fact it had already fallen under the iron hoof of the Japanese army. It has become a very important relay base because it can provide supplies for the Japanese navy that has been attacked by allied air strikes one after another. The Japanese army has also built many military ports here, including Haiphong, which is the most important one. There are often some large warships moored here. Today, the carrier Nobuka, the behemoth of the Japanese navy, has come here.

Level 8: Saving Private Smith

Historical background: In January 1943, at the Casablanca Conference, the Supreme Staff of the Allied European Expeditionary Force was established, and the "overlord" plan to counterattack the European continent was started. In November of the same year, at the Tehran meeting, Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin agreed to open up the second front around May 1, 1944. The following month, General Eisenhower was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force and decided to designate June 5, 1944 as D-Day (attack day). At the same time, a set of extremely large and meticulous deception actions-the "resolute" plan made Marshal von Lundstedt, commander-in-chief of the German western front, and his main tactical commander, Marshal Rommel, commander of the B Army, almost completely fall for it, mistakenly believing that the allied forces would land in Calais, the nearest area to Britain, thus relaxing their defense in Normandy. Due to the weather, the allied attack time was finally changed to D+1 (that is, June 6). At the beginning of the landing, the allied forces made smooth progress. Except the American troops at Omaha beach suffered heavy losses and made slow progress, the troops at the other four landing points, under the cover of the strong strength advantage of the navy and air force (the number of aircraft of the two air forces reached more than 22:1), have established solid beachheads and started to develop in depth. Two artificial ports, code-named Mulberry, built to ensure logistics supply, have also been launched on the beaches of Normandy. The next key goal is to seize Cherbourg, the largest port in northern France, in order to establish a permanent port to receive supplies and reinforcements and expand the advantages of the Allied forces in the European battlefield. However, under the command of the "Desert Fox", the German army, which was initially panicked, regrouped, and its armored reserves launched a powerful counterattack against the allies in Karantang and Caen, trying to drive the allies back to the sea. The whole week after June 19, violent storms hit the Strait, causing the port of Mulberry on the beach of Normandy to be seriously damaged and unusable. Cherbourg has now become the most important target in the eyes of the allies, and a more tragic battle is about to begin.

level 9: Cortiz Castle

Historical background: In a small town in eastern Germany, on the top of the hill surrounded by the Mulder River, there is the strongest fortress of the Third Reich-Cortiz Castle. The castle has now been turned into a prisoner of war concentration camp, holding some allied prisoners of war who tried to escape from other concentration camps. Colditz is regarded by the Germans as the most secure and unbreakable concentration camp, and it is the pride of the German prison system, which is called "inescapable". For all allied prisoners held in the castle, the only way to escape from Colditz is to die.

Level 1: Burning Paris

Historical background: In August 1944, two months after Normandy landed, most of France was under the control of allied forces. For political reasons, the Liberation Organization of Free France demanded that the first allied troops to enter Paris must be French troops with one division. So, despite Barton's strong petition, General Eisenhower ordered General leclerc's French Second Armored Division to enter Paris in the early morning of 19th, which had been occupied by Germans for four years. The dream of millions of French people is about to come true. However, Hitler had other plans at this time. He ordered: "Paris will leave the enemy in ruins." General Dietrich von Scholitz, commander of the occupation forces in Paris, was responsible for the destruction of Paris. From the headquarters in the Muelles Hotel, he can overlook the labor of the German 813th Corps of Engineers-they have buried thousands of tons of explosives in downtown Paris ...
