So after another hour of bombardment, the British and American air forces slowly withdrew from the skies over Pantelleria Island. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As for their fleet, the artillery bombardment was still going on, and it took another half an hour of shelling of the land on the island of Pantelleria before slowly ceasing the attack.

"Collect the troops! Stop shelling Pantelleria! ”

On a beautiful battleship, Captain Bill ordered an armistice to some of the senior officers around him.

"So fast, but I see that there are still enemy troops moving around on the island of Pantelleria!"

U.S. military officer Tang Fan was surprised.

"This is an order from Commander Eisenhower and the High Command! Don't think about it and talk about it! Follow the instructions above! ”

Captain Bill continued.

"Alright! It's a bargain for these Germans and Italians! ”

Tommy sighed a little regretfully.

"Don't be sorry, those German and Italian troops must have suffered a lot of casualties in our large-scale bombardment! I think they've been blown up too, and there's not much left! When our army units land, we will know the results of the battle! ”

Captain Bill smiled slightly.

"Yes, indeed! All right! I'll give you your evacuation order! ”

Hearing this, Tommy smiled happily.

Because his brother Harold died in the Battle of Tunisia while fighting the German army.

So he always didn't like the Germans, and the Italians; And they are eager to annihilate all these enemy forces, leaving not a single one behind.

If he had not been a naval officer now, but an army officer, he would have been the first to land on the island of Pantelleria to fight.

Subsequently, the U.S. fleet withdrew one by one under the orders of the officers of the various ships.

At this time, the U.S. Army had also successfully landed in operations, with the U.S. 1st Division, the 45th Division and the Canadian 1st Infantry Division; and the 1st Canadian Armored Brigade, which landed successfully in full swing under division commanders Allen and Middleton.

"Search for me! Look how many of the Germans and Italians are not dead! ”

As soon as he landed on the shore, the division commander Allen immediately gave a loud battle order.

"Yes! Teachers! ”

As his order was given, all the soldiers of the 1st Division quickly lined up in battle sequence and replied loudly.

At the same time, they were very cautious, clutching their guns, or other types of weaponry, towards the heart of the island of Pantelleria.

Everywhere they passed, corpses were strewn across the field, or smoke was filled; and saw that many wounded soldiers of the Italian army were wailing in pain and begging for help......

"Shall we rescue these wounded Italian soldiers?"

A staff officer named Yamid questioned Allen, who was following behind the large group.

"Save! Let's get our medical staff to treat them! ”

Alan nodded in response.

"Yes! Teachers! I'll go right away! ”

Staff Officer Yamid immediately nodded in agreement.

"Wait a minute, Amid! I would like to ask why we have not seen a single German soldier or a German corpse after we have been advancing for more than ten minutes! What's going on here? ”

Division Commander Alan suddenly wondered about Yamid, who was about to turn away.

"Maybe the Germans are concentrated in the heart of the island, ready to meet us! As for not seeing their corpses, it may be that the Germans immediately looked for a place to hide when they saw our massive air raids and shelling! ”

Staff Officer Yamid thought for a moment and responded.

"Then why was their counterattack so strong and powerful the other day! We've lost a lot of fighters and bombers, as well as pilots! ”

Division Commander Allen replied disagreeingly.

"Could this be because their ammunition supply can't keep up, or maybe they suffered heavy casualties from the fierce battle last time, so now they don't have enough combat power to fight our thousand-plane bombardment today?"

Yamid pondered for a moment, then replied in a tone of uncertainty that was not quite right.

"After you call those medical personnel to treat those Italian troops, you will go to the front for me to understand the battle situation! I want to know every move of the German army now, because I always feel that the behavior of the German army is really not like their tough style! ”

Division Commander Alan shook his head and disagreed.

"Okay! I will definitely scout the situation of the German army as quickly as possible! ”

Staff Officer Amid nodded with a serious gaze.

"Hmmm! Go ahead! Be careful! ”

Division Commander Allen looked at each other with appreciative eyes and said gently.

Staff Officer Yamid smiled slightly, and then hurriedly left.

Division Commander Allen picked up his military binoculars and focused on the farthest he could see.

An hour later, Alan and his men finally reached the heart of the island of Teleria and captured more than a thousand Italian prisoners.

"Tell me why there isn't a single German on the island! Where did they all hide? ”

Staff Officer Yamid scolded an Italian officer fiercely.

"They've all evacuated, and they've all slipped away before you can carry out a massive airstrike!"

The Italian officer, who had been taken out for questioning, trembled and feared.

"What! How they evacuated! How fast you run? How did we not know! ”

After hearing this, Staff Officer Yamid was shocked.

"Isn't it just a boat and a submarine! And they also have a large number of air forces to cover and expel your reconnaissance planes! So it's no surprise that you're being kept in the dark! Because they retreated just too fast! ”

The Italian officer continued to say in fear.

"Then why don't you retreat with them?"

Before staff officer Yamid could continue to ask, division commander Allen suddenly asked the Italian officer.

"We want to do it too! But those bastards the Germans didn't let us evacuate with them! And we'll have to wait for permission from our superiors before we can evacuate! Although we also have a lot of soldiers and officers evacuated without permission! But we unfortunate people who have no backing can only stay here and wait for you to attack! ”

"Originally, we thought that if we surrendered to you immediately when you retaliated and counterattacked, we could be taken prisoner in peace! Who knew that not only did you not accept our surrender immediately, but you also continued to carry out large-scale bombardment in the sea and air! Many of our soldiers have died in your carpeted bombardment! ”

Seeing that Allen, the somewhat vicious division commander, suddenly stood up and questioned him, the Italian officer immediately told everything he knew in fear.

"What you say is true?"

Division Commander Allen frowned deeply and stared at the other party with a sharp gaze.

"Absolutely! Either you won't find a single German soldier, or a corpse! ”

The Italian officer immediately swore to the heavens.

"Hey! Those bastards Germans! Let them escape like that! I'm afraid I'm going to be scolded this time! ”

Hearing this, the division commander Alan sighed deeply and angrily.
