"Why is this again the case that the Germans have unexpectedly lurked so many troops in Sicily, waiting for the landing of our troops? What do our intelligence services eat, and what kind of goods does the British intelligence system come from, and why does intelligence always make mistakes? ”

"You wretched! Is it really satisfying to kill all our troops in the hands of the Germans! ”

As soon as Eisenhower heard about Patton and Montgomery's front-line battles; He suddenly burst into flames in his command room, scolding loudly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At this moment he was still at the forefront of the island of Pantelleria, listening to Admiral Cunningham, and Montgomery, and Patton; Hewitt and others are in charge of the battle situation, as well as directing the support of logistics troops and aviation units.

And when he was furious, Deputy Commander Alexander was also silently by his side, silent, thinking.

"What do you think we should do now? Patton and the SS, who did not know the details and strength of the troops, were fighting fiercely; Montgomery, the soft-footed crab and cautious fool, was blocked by a large number of German mechanics in the vicinity of Mount Etna and Highway 114! ”

"And they are very close to the Catania plain, which means that they can easily have a tragic tank battle with the Germans there, or if they are bombed indiscriminately by the planes sent by the Germans, then I am afraid that Montgomery's 8th Army Group will suffer a great disaster!"

"If you don't do it, you will be severely damaged by the Germans, or you will be completely annihilated!"

Eisenhower gradually calmed down and said worriedly.

"Probably not! Although Montgomery fought more cautiously and did not have the courage of Ba Stew, the personal qualities of the British troops of the 13th Army and the 30th Army under his command were still okay, at least they were some guys who dared to fight hard! ”

Deputy Commander Alexander, in a comforting tone, tried to comfort.

"Hey! Yes! If that were the case, he would not have been pushed back by the Germans on the first day of the campaign, having captured the two good supply ports of Syracusa and Porto Augusta, so that he could not advance inland as quickly as possible and take Messina! ”

"I will also not be driven to the theater where Patton's troops are located by the Germans with a small number of elite troops because of their indecision, and I will also apply to you and me to occupy the front of Patton's 2nd Army and prepare to go on Highway 124!"

"If I hadn't pressed Patton, with his fiery temper, I'm afraid the two of them would have fought first, instead of fighting the Germans!"

Eisenhower, with a contemptuous and sarcastic expression on his face, glanced at Alexander and said.

Seeing this, Alexander also smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders.

"Hey! Forget it, no matter how much you scold Montgomery now, and the incompetence of those intelligence forces, it will not help! ”

Then Eisenhower sighed, deeply tired.

"Shall we now let Patton and Montgomery's forces withdraw to the harbor of the beach and engage in defensive warfare?"

Alexander proposed.

"Hey! Defensive warfare? Patton had now murderously sent all of his 7th Army Group to the front line to pursue those SS troops, especially the 2nd Army under his command was even more brave and fast! ”

"I am afraid that if I give him the order to retreat, he will not obey me; Otherwise, he wouldn't be a stunned general, these two stunned people are really not worrying at all, and they have a headache! ”

Eisenhower shook his head helplessly.

"He is indeed a very helpless general! Even I can't cure his fiery temper! ”

Alexander also said with a wry smile.

"Since there is no way to get Patton to withdraw now, can Montgomery's side evacuate?"

Then Alexander proposed again.

"Of course he can, and Montgomery's cautious death-fearing ghost will definitely raise his hand and agree that I will let them retreat! It's just that if I really do this, then I'm afraid Patton will be flanked by the Germans on both sides and eaten by dumplings! ”

Eisenhower shook his head in disagreement.

"It can't be that serious! Patton's troops also have a lot of brave soldiers! Moreover, they have also experienced fierce African battles, so they should not lose to the Germans in terms of combat ability! And even without Montgomery's troops, they would not be inferior to the Germans! ”

Alexander wondered.

"Hey! You are naïve, do you know how many German troops are assembled on Montgomery's side now? ”

When Eisenhower heard this, he suddenly laughed bitterly.

"Hmmm! I don't know! It won't be more than 40,000! Even if our intelligence department is incorrect, according to the original more than 40,000 German troops, even if they have hidden troops, at most tens of thousands! And they're going to have to split up to deal with our attacks! ”

Alexander said.

"Who's to say it won't be more than 40,000? If it was as good as you think, I wouldn't have been so angry and wanted to kill like that! ”

"According to the latest information from Montgomery, a total of 160,000 German troops are now being assembled on the Catanian plain and Mount Etna; The newest troops are Herman? The Goering Panzer Division and the 1st Airborne Division, as well as the 29th Panzer Division and the 15th Panzer Division......"

Eisenhower suddenly showed a worried expression and told what he knew was going to be bad.

"How can this be! And how many German troops were there in Patton? ”

Alexander was so shocked that he almost dropped his jaw to the ground, and panicked.

"This is not clear for the time being, but according to Patton's report, there are at least three SS divisions; It was also Hitler's most elite SS divisions, such as the 1st SS Panzer Division, the SS Skull Panzer Division, the SS 5th "Viking" Panzer Division and other SS elite units. ”

"Gah! What the! Didn't these elite SS units all be deployed on the Eastern Front and engaged in fierce battles with the Soviet army? How did they end up in Sicily for no reason? And the gods came unknowingly? ”

"Oh my God! With so many SS units lurking here, are our intelligence spies blind? Why didn't so many SS soldiers see it? They're so wretched that I'm speechless! ”

Alexander's eyes widened in disbelief and surprise.

"Hey! I also fell in love with the five bodies of this group of waste, so I decided to completely exchange these wretched intelligence officers; They have to pay a heavy price for their incompetence, or I really can't face the soldiers and their families who have been killed by their repeated misinformation! ”

"If it weren't for these, how could the Germans have managed to deceive us so many times, and this time they have sent so many troops to ambush in Sicily, waiting for us to stupidly break in and send sheep into the tiger's mouth!"

As soon as he talked about those wretched intelligence departments, Eisenhower's whole body trembled with anger, and he gritted his teeth.

"I agree with you very much, we really need to reorganize our intelligence system again immediately, or we will be killed by them soon! And this time in the Battle of Sicily, we really don't know how many soldiers will die again, what a bad luck! ”

Alexander also responded immediately with a fierce look.
