"As for the BFI, we can only leave our hopes to Commander Eisenhower; If not, then we will go directly to the airborne and have an in-depth understanding with those Italian partisans! ”

"Although it is much riskier to do so, in order to complete our Italian counterattack mission, we have to overcome many difficulties and rise to the occasion!"

When Commander Robert Seeing that the meeting was about to fall into an awkward moment in terms of intelligence reconnaissance, Colonel T. Frederick immediately made a decisive decision.

After that, he shifted the discussion of the meeting to the renewal and storage of weapons and equipment, as well as airdrops.

And, of course, where the airdrop will take place, and how to get the carrier force to carry out the support airdrop.

After the meeting, the regiment commander, William Henry Harrison, and the commander, Robert Henryson, and the commander of the regiment, Robert Henry. Colonel T. Frederick was also immediately summoned by Commander Eisenhower to his command room, and asked them to report on the contents of the combat meeting, and asked them to immediately withdraw the two squadrons of airborne troops and prepare for the airdrop the night after tomorrow, the destination of which was the area near the Gustav Line in central Italy, to contact the Italian partisans there, and collect more German military deployment combat operations.

Because after the British and American armies were preparing to cross Messina, they were preparing to divide their troops into three routes to carry out an encirclement battle in the Italian mainland.

Moreover, the Italian partisans were not as neglected as they were often overlooked.

In some historical materials of later generations, and World War II books, it is recorded that the Italian anti-fascist partisans were gradually formed in 1943~1945, and they pinned down and forced at least 9 German divisions to help the Anglo-American allies liberate most of the major cities in Italy.

Moreover, these Italian partisans also secretly conducted in-depth intelligence deals with the British Fifth and Sixth Special Operations Units, as well as the intelligence agencies of allied countries such as the US Strategic Intelligence Agency.

These covert deals include the development of excellent spies, and the airdrop of weapons and equipment, as well as military supplies, medicines and other supplies, and the provision of intelligence; Instructors were stationed to support the guerrillas in their fight against the German army, and these Italian guerrillas also attacked, harassed and besieged a large number of German troops through intelligence work, and gave strong cooperation to the British and American allies in defeating the German army.

Therefore, when the intelligence of the Anglo-American allied forces was reported by Himmler's Gestapo and the SS in the sixth large-scale purge, Commander Eisenhower immediately thought of contacting those Italian partisans to collect the German army's military combat deployment in Italy; Prepare for his Italian assault, conduct adequate information gathering, and make new military deployments.

After receiving the order, the regiment commander Harrison and the commander Colonel Frederick also left Commander Eisenhower's headquarters in a nervous mood and went back to their own units to select airborne troops.

While the two of them were selecting their members to carry out Commander Eisenhower's airdrop order, the newly formed 1st Airborne Division of the German army was also being assembled.

The unit of this air division included the 1st Airborne Machine Gun Battalion, commanded by Major Werner Schmitt; The 1st Airborne Armored Destroyer Battalion, commanded by Major Gerhard Brückner, the 1st Airborne Reconnaissance Battalion, the 1st Airborne Engineer Battalion, the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Airborne Assault Regiments, commanded by Colonel Karl, Colonel Herman, Colonel Erich, respectively.

There was also the 1st Artillery Regiment, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Schramm, the 1st Communications Battalion, commanded by Captain Graff, the 1st Medical Battalion, commanded by Dr. Adolf Eben, and finally the divisional supply battalion, commanded by Captain Bose, and the 1st Field Training Supplement Battalion, also commanded by Captain Hoffman.

As for the commander of the 1st Airborne Division, Richard Heydrich was transferred from Fryer, who was stationed near Caen in southern France as commander of the reserve of the 11th Air Army of Army Group D, and was retransferred back to the German 7th Air Division, which was now reorganized by Chen Yanlong into the 1st Airborne Division.

Of course, the airborne division, which has now been reorganized by Chen Yanlong, is not the 1st parachute division in the original history.

Because all their weapons and equipment are of the latest type, and they do not use parachutes, but take helicopters and advanced transport planes to carry out airborne combat operations.

Therefore, in terms of new weapons and equipment, supplies, and treatment, it is superior to the original historical 1st Parachute Division.

The reason why Chen Yanlong chose Richard Heydrich as the commander of the newly formed First Airborne Division was because the other party not only had rich combat experience in World War I and World War II, but also participated in the Sicilian Campaign and the "Gustav Line" campaign centered on Cassino in the original historical time and space; In particular, the famous "Battle of Cassino Mountain" in the history of World War II.

So in the end, the German 1st Parachute Division led by him also won the name of "Cassino's Green Devil" because of its outstanding performance in the battle of Cassino.

At the same time, the 1st Airborne Division and their division commander Heydrich were again published in the Wehrmacht Gazette on 29 June 1944.

Of course, this history happened in later generations, so Chen Yanlong chose him to serve as the "Cassino Mountain Campaign" and the "Gustav Line" battles that may appear again this time.

When all the subordinate units of the 1st Airborne Division were assembled, Division Commander Chad Haydry immediately stood on the command podium and inspected the troops in the assembly field below.

"The Führer has given us a new combat mission this evening, asking us to arrive at Foggia airport tomorrow in Calabria in southern Italy by transport plane, so as to prepare for the surprise attack of the British and American troops in Sicily, or in central and northern Italy, or even in the south!"

"Once you have arrived at the Foggia airport, your main task is to familiarize yourself as quickly as possible with the latest weapons and equipment that the Führer has given you; Especially new armored vehicles, and wheeled tank destroyers! ”

Division Commander Heydrich, who had a thin face, said neatly and seriously in his military uniform.

Hearing this, all the officers and men of the 1st Airborne Division were in high spirits, and they were discussing what new weapons and equipment the Führer would equip them with, especially the wheeled tank destroyers......

"In addition, the Führer asked me to withdraw an airborne unit from you and go to central and northern Italy to annihilate the Italian partisans and conduct actual combat training for a week!"

"The reason is that our intelligence department has detected that they are conducting intelligence transactions with the intelligence departments of the British and American allied armies, and leaked the secrets of our military operations deployed in Italy!"

"So the Führer let's go and fight these Italian partisans and let them rein in!"

"And all the troops who participate in this airborne combat operation against the Italian partisans, and all the troops who have completed the combat mission excellently, can be promoted by the Führer, and can also be rewarded with the most advanced weapons and equipment in the Empire, as well as a high bonus!"

Then the division commander, Chad Hydry, continued.

As soon as the words fell, many officers and soldiers of the subordinate units boiled as if they had exploded, and they all desperately raised their hands to compete for the qualification to participate.
