Chapter 863 Canada (5)

As the Americans expected, after declaring neutrality, Canada immediately closed the U.S.-Canada border. The Canadians set up various roadblocks, barbed wire, and even patrol soldiers on the unimpeded U.S.-Canada border a few days ago, strictly prohibiting Americans from approaching. The transport teams in Canada that were heading to Alaska were also intercepted by the Canadian army and sent back to the United States.

"These treacherous guys!" The commander of the Alaska garrison trembled with anger and roared hysterically after receiving the news. The Canadians' move forced them into a desperate situation! Alaska is not a grain-producing area, and all the supplies of these garrisons are transported domestically. Without subsequent supplies, how can they survive this cold and long winter?

What's more terrible is that according to the current situation, even if they want to withdraw from Alaska and return to the country, the Canadians may not agree to lend them a way.

Unless they fight all the way.

They were confident that they could defeat the Canadian army, but doing so would give the Canadians an excuse to immediately turn to the Germans. They might be intercepted by the Germans before they left Canada.

"Are you going to trap us here to death?" After cursing for a while, the commander of the garrison gradually calmed down. "How long can our supplies last?"

The adjutant replied with a sad face. "Even if we save money, we can only last for 20 days at most." Before the reinforcements came, they still had a lot of reserve supplies, but now there are more than 100,000 reinforcements, and these supplies are simply a drop in the bucket.

After thinking for a while, the commander of the garrison gritted his teeth and ordered. "Send people to various places to search for those vacant houses and collect all the supplies that can be used. Even if it is a grain of rice, a potato, or a piece of coal, collect them all for me." The last time the German army dropped leaflets to various cities in Alaska saying that they would carry out indiscriminate bombing, most of the residents were scared away, leaving only a few people. He thought that these people could not take all their belongings away, and they must have left a lot of things behind.

The adjutant said in surprise. "Commander, this is not good." This behavior is enough to make them go to the military court.

The commander of the garrison sighed helplessly. "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Are we waiting for everyone to starve to death in a month? Just give the order and I will bear all the consequences!" The only food available here is fish from the sea, but the ports and docks were bombed to pieces by the Germans. There are few surviving ships. Unless they go to the sea to fish, they can't go out to sea to fish. "Also, send all the soldiers who can be sent out and let them go hunting in the mountains." It is early winter now, and the temperature will drop below zero in a few days. These foods can also be preserved for a long time.

At this time, the shrill air defense alarm sounded outside again, and the German aircraft group came to bomb again. They have two main targets recently, one is the capital of Alaska, Juneau. Located beside the Gastineau Strait on the Alexandria Peninsula. Administratively, Juneau is a county, but there is only one city in the county - Juneau City, so the administrative boundaries of the two are completely overlapping, and the administrative center of Juneau County is naturally located in Juneau City.

Another one is Anchorage: it is the largest city in Alaska, located in south-central Alaska.

The German heavy bombers are responsible for bombing Anchorage, while the attack aircraft taking off from the fleet aircraft carrier anchored in the Gulf of Alaska bombed Juneau City. Both cities were almost bombed into ruins, or in other words, they were no different from ruins.

These bomber groups lined up in a slightly loose formation, flew over the target area, and then dropped bombs on their respective target areas. A bomb fell from the bomb bay of the plane, followed by another bomb that began to fall, and then like the rain getting heavier, the bombs began to fall densely.

"These damn Germans!" Just as the commander of the garrison was gritting his teeth and cursing, the adjutant said depressedly. "Commander, we have run out of steel and cement." The cement and steel needed to build fortifications need to be transported from the country, but now nothing can be transported.

"Cut more wood and use wood instead of steel. If there is no cement, we can only use mud." Only God knows how much defensive capacity the fortifications built in this way have.

The adjutant nodded. "Yes, commander. I will arrange it now."

The commander of the garrison sighed deeply. What kind of thing is this? "Damn it." After cursing again, the commander of the garrison called the communicator and asked him to contact the country to see if there is any way to transport supplies.

The senior US military officials are also anxious. In order to defend Alaska, the troops sent there are the elite of the elite, and there must be no mistakes.

As for the way to transport supplies, there are only three channels: sea, land and air.

At sea, the German fleet anchored in the Gulf of Alaska, which is equivalent to completely cutting off the sea transportation channel. Unless this fleet is annihilated, the transport fleet sent out is equivalent to a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

As for land, unless you fight hard.

As for the air force, Canada's air force is really average. If the American transport planes force their way through, they can only watch helplessly. But in this case, even if Canada does not turn to Germany, the Germans will sell some fighter jets to Canada, which is enough to intercept these transport planes.

In short, it is impossible to transport supplies by sea, land and air, and they can only watch Alaska fight alone.

It may not even be necessary for the Germans to do anything. It is unknown whether they can survive this long winter.

"Can the Soviet Union transport supplies to Alaska via the Arctic Ocean?" I don't know who made such a whimsical suggestion. At first glance, this method seems feasible. Although the Germans have advanced to the gate of Moscow and the Far East has also separated from the Soviet Union; after all, the Soviet Union is vast, and the land lost so far is less than one-tenth (the land is large, but many places are not suitable for human habitation).

The Soviet Union still has many ports available, so it seems to be a feasible way to let them support supplies.

Unfortunately, let's not talk about whether the Soviets will spit out what they have eaten. Even if they are willing to spit it out, will the Germans let them transport supplies to Alaska obediently?

The Germans have built a submarine base in the Svalbard Islands in the Arctic Ocean. The last time they tried to cross the Bering Strait to transport supplies directly from the Arctic Ocean to the Soviet front, they ran into an ambush circle of the German submarine force, and dozens of transport ships were wiped out without exception.

"Are we just going to watch Alaska fall?"

The supplies here can't be delivered, and the troops there can't be withdrawn. The fate of Alaska is self-evident.
