Chapter 231: On the eve of the Sicilian landing

"Oh no! Monarch! Rome, Italy, was heavily bombed by the Anglo-American Allies! And even Milan, Turin, Florence, Naples, and Sicily were suddenly attacked by them! ”

"Now the whole of Italy is in the midst of a frenzied bombing by the British and American allies, with heavy casualties, and many places have been blown up!"

When Rome, Italy, was attacked, Garland and Mirch immediately hurried to Chen Yanlong's room and knocked on the door to report. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Chen Yanlong had just entered the room and was about to take a rest.

Because he had been looking at the secret airbase all day inside, the pre-war readiness of all the pilots.

So he was feeling very tired now, so he went back to his room, ate a little in a hurry, and prepared to rest.

But as soon as they heard Garland's shouts, they immediately opened the door and came in.

After listening to the reports of the two of them, Chen Yanlong frowned deeply, and then asked: "Didn't Italy send a fighter group to meet the enemy?" And what is Mussolini's attitude now? ”

"The Italian Air Force has already been dispatched, but they have too few pilots, and the planes are not as advanced as the British and American planes, and their fighting will is very weak, so they were quickly defeated by the British and American aviation and retreated from the battlefield!"

"And now the whole Italian sky is under the control of the British American Air Force, and their Prime Minister Mussolini is still in his private villa, and he is happy with his mistress!"

Garland replied hurriedly.

"What! Now that the enemy army has hit his doorstep, is he still in the mood to be merry? He still has no brains, this Mussolini idiot! ”

As soon as he heard that in such a critical battle situation, Mussolini was not commanding the troops to meet the enemy, but was merry, Chen Yanlong couldn't help but curse.

"What do you two think, should we send planes over to deal with the British and American air fleets right now?"

Before Garland could answer, Chen Yanlong continued to ask.

"I'm afraid that even if we send our aviation units over now, it will be useless, because we are not far from the Italian mainland, and by the time our flying units arrive, I am afraid that those British and American air forces have already finished bombing and left safely!"

Garland and Milch glanced at each other before continuing to answer by Garland.

"Alright! In that case, we can only settle accounts after the fact! By the way, how is Sicily being bombed now? Did our air squadron on the island fight back? ”

Hearing this, Chen Yanlong also shook his head helplessly, and suddenly remembered.

"Hmmm! Our air forces have counterattacked, driven away those British and American air fleets, and they have fought back in the face of a storm; But I feel like the British American Air Fleet, which we drove away, will still come back to raid us! ”

Garland worried.

"Hey! It's good for them to come! I have so many troops deployed in Sicily, and I am waiting for them to attack! ”

Chen Yanlong smiled happily.

"Then the FΓΌhrer, should we now also give the occupied areas of the British and American forces a large-scale air raid in return? Frustrate their spirits? Garland suggested.

"It depends on the situation, I want to see the follow-up actions of these British and American troops after such a big move to bomb Italy, and only then take a relative counterattack strategy! But those Japanese kamikaze forces that have already arrived at us and are ready to assist us in the battle, you can let them prepare for battle! ”

"I will divide them evenly between our east and west lines, conduct forward operations, and consume the living forces of the Anglo-American, American, and Soviet air forces!"

Chen Yanlong responded.

"Everything is under the orders of the FΓΌhrer!"

Garland respectfully agreed.

"Alright! Go out and intensify our pre-war preparations! I believe that soon a large-scale battle will break out! Maybe it will break out tomorrow! The world is unpredictable! Chen Yanlong nodded and said.

"Yes! Monarch! ”

Garland and Milsea immediately replied in unison.

Chen Yanlong waved his hand and stopped talking.

Garland and Milch also left quickly, and immediately dispatched 2,500 Japanese kamikaze pilots, 1,500 servant pilots, and 2,000 German pilots to the Sicily airfield according to Chen Yanlong's orders.

In addition, it was also the same number of pilots who were sent to the Eastern Front to prepare for saturation bombing operations against the Soviet army.

Chen Yanlong immediately called Guderian and asked him to be alert to an abnormal situation in Sicily and strengthen his vigilance.

After that, Chen Yanlong gave again; Rommel called him to immediately mobilize his troops, in case of any crisis in Mussolini or Italy; Or in the case of a mutiny, immediately march the army into Rome and garrison it.

While Chen Yanlong was arranging these things, the storms in Sicily and Tunisia also stopped.

Although the night sky was still dark and dreary, there was no starlight, and no moon came out.

But in the absence of a storm, the British and American air forces, and ships, can begin large-scale security operations.

Eisenhower's operational command was gathering a large number of staff officers at this moment.

"Our air fleet has reached the skies over the major cities of Italy in batches, and the bombing has been successful!"

Chief of Staff Adelaine immediately reported to Eisenhower as soon as he heard the call from the command headquarters.

"Good! Immediately order our 1st Airborne Division; And the 82nd Airborne Division is ready to board and set off for the Airborne Battle of Sicily! ”

"At the same time, Montgomery and Barton immediately led their troops to Sicily, ready for the landing operation!"

Eisenhower nodded in satisfaction.

"Montgomery and Barton's forces were already on their way to Sicily, and were almost there; At any time, we can cooperate with our airborne troops to carry out landing operations! ”

As soon as the words fell, Chief of Staff Adlaini replied immediately without even making a phone call.

"The speed of the two of them is so fast!"

After hearing this, Eisenhower was surprised.

"Yes! They all set off as soon as the storm stopped! They've reported it to you, Commander! ”

Chief of Staff Adelaini reminded.

"Hmmm! All right! I'm so busy that I forgot about it for a while, sorry! ”

Eisenhower looked at Chief of Staff Adelaine and said embarrassedly.

"Then our air force will be dispatched immediately! Before our land forces carry out landing operations, I hope that our aviation units will be able to give Italian units on the islands; And the great shock of the German army, as well as casualties! ”

Eisenhower continued to give orders.

"Yes! Commander! ”

Chief of Staff Adelaine hastened to agree.

"In addition, has our intelligence system determined that Sicily said that there are only two German divisions and four Italian divisions stationed there?"

Eisenhower suddenly worried.
