Chapter 794: Where Are These Typhoon Fighter Groups Going?

And like Chen Yanlong, in such a cold and unusually late night, there are still no sleep, and there are still many people who are worried, at least this is the case with Eisenhower now.

He was now keeping an eye on the casualties and losses of the airborne troops that attacked Cassino on the Italian mainland, and of course he was constantly receiving the situation of the second amphibious landing in Sicily.

In such an anxious situation, Eisenhower quickly watched the information about the battle, while smoking a cigarette and praying for the battle of the Allied troops, hoping that they would achieve a final victory or a successful sneak attack.

The failure of the first amphibious landing operation must not be repeated, if not only the fate of his career was lost, but even the British and American armies would have buried most of their elite forces in this ongoing sneak attack, so that they would not be able to organize a decent battle on the Western Front again.

At that time, not to mention that they could open up a new second battlefield, even self-preservation became a big problem, especially since the British mainland had a great chance of being carried out by the Germans for amphibious landing, or large-scale bombing and siege of sea transportation lines.

For all the unfavorable scenarios of defeat, Eisenhower was a million people who did not like to see and continue to imagine.

So he has been suppressing his negative thoughts and trying to focus all his thoughts on the favorable side for positive thinking.

It's just that all the battle information he can get now seems to be against him, and there is much more negative news than positive news

"So far, more than 130 aircraft have been lost, more than 80 pilots have been wounded or lost, and 50 pilots have been shot down and killed; The paratroopers suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and a large number of weapons and equipment were lost in the airborne battle......"

Eisenhower muttered irritably as he took a deep breath on the cigarette in his hand and looked at the casualty report in his hand about the airborne battle around Cassino.

And the other operational staff officers around him were also constantly sorting out and browsing a large number of reports and telegrams from the front-line combat units.

In short, in the Algiers headquarters, Eisenhower and all his operational staff officers were constantly busy, studying and gathering the latest developments on the battlefield and quickly making the latest and most prepared combat operations to the troops.

Moreover, the personnel of the British and American super-secret organizations had intercepted more than 20,000 telegrams of the German army on this day and deciphered them.

"Has Patton and Montgomery's forces begun an amphibious landing operation?"

"And the 1st Airborne Corps, which was led and commanded by Lieutenant General Browning, reached the skies over Sicily and carried out the airborne landing?"

But after looking at Cassino's battle casualties for a while, Eisenhower was in a violent mood and asked the combat staff officers around him irritably.

"They are being transported close to Sicily under the arrangement of Cunningham and General Hewitt!"

"It should be almost at their scheduled landing site, and they can prepare for landing operations!"

"Admiral Marshall is closely watching their landing!"

An operational staff officer named Greh replied immediately.

"I'm also anxiously following their landing operations, let me find out their combat situation right away, I want the latest information!"

"In addition, our logistical supply must be supervised by me, and we must not suddenly cut off the supply of weapons, equipment and ammunition to the front line, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Eisenhower roared loudly.

"Yes! Commander! ”

Operations Staff Officer Griff nervously agreed.

"Hmmm! You can bring me some supper for Admiral Marshall, too!" ”

"He probably hasn't slept well like me, and he's busy studying the latest battle situation in his headquarters!"

"This night is destined to be our sleepless night, whether we can win the battle and open up the second battlefield, we will see the outcome of the battle at night!"

"May God bless us!"

After Eisenhower looked at the other party's nervousness, and even some nervousness, he tried his best to suppress his irritability, and his tone was a little softer.

"God will bless us, Commander!"

"Because we are now fighting for justice, and the evil German army will never be able to defeat us!"

After seeing Eisenhower's gentleness down, Gregory, the combat staff officer, also relaxed and said with a smile.

"Hmmm! God is with us! ”

Eisenhower looked at the other party's smile, gradually calmed down, and agreed to smile slightly and relaxed.

But at this moment, before the combat staff officer Grili could respond, groups of Typhoon fighters took off in the sky above their headquarters, in accordance with Marshall's combat orders, and flew over Eisenhower's headquarters in a roar, masking all their voices that wanted to continue talking.

"Where are these Typhoon fighter groups going? Is it to Sicily for support operations? ”

"Or was Algiers, where we are, invaded by the aviation of the German army?"

Listening to the noisy sound of aircraft engines over the headquarters, Eisenhower looked responsible and said with a worried mood.

But no one could answer his question, so there was no sound except the sound of the engines and the howling wind of the Typhoon fighter group that was moving away, and everything fell silent.
