Chapter 795: Admiral Marshall's Worries

"More than 30 Typhoon fighters have taken off for night patrols, Commander Marshall!"

When the successive Typhoon fighters took off successfully and patrolled the airspace around Algiers, Adjutant Williams immediately whispered to Admiral Marshall's side.

"How's their flight going? Can you adapt to flying at night? Are the radar systems installed on them capable of detecting enemy aircraft? ”

Admiral Marshall asked.

Of course, the Typhoon fighter that Admiral Marshall is talking about today is not a new single-seat twin-engine supersonic Eurofighter named EF-2000, but a replacement for the Hawker Hurricane, which eventually evolved into a "Typhoon" attack aircraft of tank killers.

The Interceptor Radar is a Night Combat IB, but it can be used with tanks that attack enemy forces at night with 60-pound rockets.

These radar-equipped night Typhoon fighters can hang up to 8 rockets, and the destructive power of these rockets is so great that the German tank armor is completely incapable of resisting their attacks, especially the armor on the top of the tank can be easily penetrated.

However, due to the heavy weight of these Typhoon fighters, as well as their poor performance in terms of climb rate and maximum speed at high altitude, the British army converted these fighters into tank killers against German tanks.

In the original history, Rommel was strafed by the British "Typhoon" fighter group on the road near the Normandy front, and his car was destroyed and he was seriously injured.

In addition to him, the Tiger tank of German No. 1 ace tanker Weitmann was destroyed by a British Typhoon fighter jet near Caen with a 60-pound rocket.

That's why this Typhoon fighter will have the title of a famous tank killer during World War II.

"Everything is working normally, and now the entire sky over Algiers is full of British night Typhoon fighters conducting patrol flights, once these Typhoon fighter groups find the tanks we have given them to practice, they can immediately carry out a night attack and see the effect of the attack!"

Adjutant Williams replied in the affirmative.

"What is Eisenhower doing now? Did he sleep? ”

Admiral Marshall abruptly changed the subject.

At the same time, he also lifted his head from a large pile of telegrams, stared at Adjutant Williams, and said with a sharp gaze.

"He, like the commander, is studying all the telegrams and intelligence from the frontline battlefield, especially the loss reports and casualty reports of the frontline battles!"

"And he and his combat staff officers are also working overtime to sort out all kinds of documents and telegrams from the front line!"

Adjutant Williams reported truthfully.

"Alright! He's a diligent commander! ”

"It's a pity that his ability advantage is in dealing with diplomacy and interpersonal relations, rather than in strategic and tactical marching and fighting!"

"Otherwise, he will be a rare general!"

Admiral Marshall nodded slightly silently.

Adjutant Williams did not answer, but stood quietly and listened carefully to Admiral Marshall's words.

"What do you think of this fight? What do you think our odds are? Williams! ”

However, Admiral Marshall did not say much, but once again turned his gaze to Adjutant Williams and asked rhetorically.

"This ......"

When Admiral Marshall asked him this, Adjutant Williamston was stunned for a moment, and for a while he didn't know how to answer and stammered more safely.

"Don't you think we can win? Adjutant Williams! ”

Seeing this, Admiral Marshall looked at the other party's hesitant expression, and instantly smiled bitterly.

"We will be able to achieve victory, and I am sure that God will bless us!"

Adjutant Williams stared at him and immediately agreed loudly.

Although he was also worried about who would win or lose this battle, he knew very well that if he could not show confidence in front of his superiors and believe that his side of the army could win, then his fate would not be too good, at least his career promotion would not be expected

Therefore, regardless of whether the final result of the battle was the victory of the British and American forces or the victory of the German army, he had to immediately give an affirmative answer, and he was firm in his belief that his side would definitely win.

However, as for his performance, Admiral Marshall seemed to see through his thoughts, just shook his head silently with a wry smile, and did not continue to say anything.

After seeing that Admiral Marshall did not speak again, Adjutant Williams immediately followed and fell silent, and continued to wait for the other party's next words.

"I want to go to the front line to observe the battle situation up close, you can prepare a fleet for me!"

Moments later, Admiral Marshall gave the order to Adjutant Williams.

"What!"

"That's not good! Commander! ”

"You're our highest-ranking commander here, and if anything happens to you at sea, how can I account to President Roosevelt and all the high-ranking officers?"

Hearing this, Adjutant Williams immediately stared at Admiral Marshall with round eyes, and said with a panicked face.

"Didn't President Roosevelt personally go to Africa to visit the troops and inspect them during the African campaign? Could it be that my life would be more precious than President Roosevelt's? Williams! ”

"And I hope you will clearly understand that once we are defeated or repulsed by the Germans in this second attack on Sicily and the Battle of Cassino in Italy, then our morale and morale will be dealt an unprecedented heavy blow, and there will be heavy casualties, and it is also unknown whether we will be able to continue to fight with the German army in Europe and open up a second European theater in the future!"

"I don't know if we even Britain will be occupied by the Germans, and even our homeland will be threatened by the German army, don't forget that the Germans already have powerful missile weapons and equipment, and an aircraft carrier fleet with an ocean-going range, as well as an ocean-going submarine group!"

"Their current sea strength is absolutely capable of attacking our homeland in the ocean, which is even more terrifying than the Japanese army that launched the Pacific War!"

"So we can't afford to lose this battle, and we can't afford to lose either!"

"Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable, at least I don't know what kind of terrible predicament we will face after being defeated!"

As soon as the words fell, Admiral Marshall retorted emotionally.

"I see, I'll go and prepare the fleet for the commander right away!"

After hearing Admiral Marshall's resolute decision to speak to the fear of the future, Adjutant Williams was also silent for a moment, and then agreed loudly with determination.

"Thank you for your understanding, Williams!"

Admiral Marshall said gratefully.

"Victory will be ours!"

"God will bless us!"

Adjutant Williams stared at Admiral Marshall with firm conviction, and agreed in a majestic voice.

He immediately turned and left to prepare for the fleet to load Admiral Marshall and go to the front to inspect the battle.

And Admiral Marshall was also in a complicated mood, a little worried, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his clothes and smoked them silently.

It wasn't long before the entire command fell into a smoky silence.
