Chapter 127: Eisenhower's New Order

"Okay, don't be noisy, the StG44 assault rifle and the akm assault rifle have their own merits; The StG44 assault rifle uses an intermediate-power round, which has less recoil than the AKM assault rifle! , but the rate of fire is not as fast as the AKM assault rifle! ”

"And the biggest advantage of the AKM assault rifle is that it can be mass-produced at a relatively cheap price, and the leather is durable; And it can maintain quite good performance in extreme harsh environments such as deserts, tropical rainforests, and severe cold. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

At this moment, Colonel-General Herbert Giller, of the 5th SS Panzer Division, suddenly explained aloud to all the SS.

"But now you're not all of you, just about 10,000 to 20,000 or so! That's because it's important for you to use the Action Rifle with the AKM Assault Rifle with other different types of heavy firepower configurations, so that these Assault Rifles can be used to make them more effective! ”

As soon as the words fell, the 1st SS "Adolf. Theodor Vichy, the SS brigade commander of the Panzer Division of Hitler's Guard Banner, also chimed in.

"The reason for this is that the ammunition consumption of the fully equipped assault rifle is particularly fast, the logistical pressure is high, and the semi-automatic rifle can be used for accurate shooting and fire suppression, and the team can be equipped with a semi-automatic rifle with a scope as an accurate shooter to make up for the sniper's inattention, and most of these AKM assault rifles are within 300 to 400 meters, and the attack effect is the best! If it's too close, or too far away, it won't have any offensive effect! ”

Major General Karl Richter von Oberkamp, a volunteer mountain division of the 7th Prince Eugen of the SS, also chimed in.

In the face of the explanations of the division commanders, all the SS members listened quietly, and no one began to talk noisily anymore.

"If you understand, then quietly take the weapons and equipment assigned to you, and then prepare to train according to the new training standards given to you by the Führer! Because we will soon have a large-scale bloody battle with the British and American troops in Sicily! So if you want to survive, then give me a special training for the best of your ability! ”

When he saw that everyone was quiet and listened, Helbert? Admiral Gille spoke loudly again.

"Yes! Sir! ”

Most of the SS responded loudly.

"What's the matter, don't you have the strength? It's all so quiet! Give me a loud voice! The Führer will be here in a few hours to review your training! Don't give me such a weak response! Or get out of here right away! We, the Waffen-SS, are the most elite troops, and we must not lose face in front of the Führer! ”

Admiral Herbert Gille snarled in displeasure.

"Yes! Sir! ”

Hearing this, all the Waffen-SS soldiers immediately roared in unison, deafeningly.

Glory was a very important thing for them, especially since they had always considered themselves to be one of the most elite troops in all of Germany; So when they heard that the head of the Yuan was coming to inspect them for special training, everyone was nervous and excited.

Because each of them wants to behave well in front of the Führer, maybe they will be able to get on the throne if they encounter good luck.

Seeing the serious and excited expressions of the crowd, General Helbert Giller and the other division commanders also smiled with satisfaction.

At this moment, Eisenhower was taking a deep puff of his cigarette to lift his spirits.

Now this is the 38th camel brand cigarette he smoked, because his mood is also more irritable today.

Especially when he shifted his gaze to the four-star general's flag on the wall, as well as the rice flag and the star-striped banner, his mood was even more annoying.

"How's our Eighth Air Force replenished? How many planes have arrived with us now? Is it possible to carry out a massive air strike on the island of Pantelleria? ”

Eisenhower sat in his leather easy chair, and after a moment of mist, he turned his head to stare at Karl? Andrew? Spatz asked.

"It's been replenished, and we've added some more fighters, and Chief Hewitt is also monitoring!"

Carl Andrew Spatz replied awkwardly.

There was no way because on such a small island as Pantelleria, their Eighth Air Force was annihilated by the German Air Force dispatched by Chen Yanlong, and more than half of the pilots were killed or wounded.

So in the face of such a bad defeat, how could he, as the commander of the Eighth Air Force, not feel guilty and shameless.

If it weren't for Eisenhower and Marshall trying to protect him in front of Roosevelt and the Joint Staff, I am afraid that he would have been removed from his official position by others long ago and let him go home to retire.

"And what about our fleet, and aircraft carriers? How many have arrived? Hewitt told you no? ”

Eisenhower continued to ask.

"More than 4,000 large and small ships, and now more than 2,000! 4 aircraft carriers also came! Two more are on the way! And the aircraft carrier "Admeralti Islands" and "Bougainville" are being prepared! ”

Carl Andrew Spatz relayed what he had asked Hewitt to Eisenhower.

"So what happened to the British navy and air force? Is it possible to go out to battle now? ”

Eisenhower said with a frown after taking another puff of his Camel brand cigarette.

"It's about the same as our replenishment progress, but not as much as ours! And this time they lost more than ours, and they also alarmed Churchill, who was meeting in Washington! When he heard the news of their fiasco, he was furious and scolded all the officers around him, causing his subordinates to complain! ”

Carl Andrew Spatz reported in a cold sweat.

"I don't care about his business! Now you can prepare for me a battle plan for the bombardment of 1,000 planes and the shelling of Pantelleria Island by 1,000 ships! This is my new order for you! Either way, we're going to take Pantelleria in the next week, or you and I will pack up and go back to our homeland, become a reserve, or wait to retire!" ”

Eisenhower suddenly stared coldly, staring at Karl? Andrew? Spatz warned solemnly.

"Yes! Commander! I'll get the job done! ”

Eisenhower looked at it like this, and warned him, he immediately gave a military salute and said loudly and uneasily.

'Hmmm! Don't let me down! By the way, did the 45th Division and Canadian troops withdraw for me? ”

Eisenhower nodded in a gentle tone.

"It's all withdrawn according to your orders! Training is underway! ”

Carl Andrew Spatz replied immediately.

"Alright! Then you go out first! I still have a lot to deal with! ”

Eisenhower nodded in response.

"Yes! Commander! ”

Carl Andrew Spatz also responded immediately.

Then he withdrew from the heavily guarded headquarters, leaving Eisenhower alone smoking a cigarette and flipping through the stacks of papers and telegrams on his desk.
