"According to our latest intelligence, Patton and Omar Bradley, as well as Theodore Roosevelt and Allen, are leading the 7th Army to the areas of Geira, Victoria, Modica, Catania and Ragusa to search for German traces!"

"Commander Allinghower and Admiral Marshall don't know about this yet!"

However, after a moment, Major General Grunser immediately came back to his senses and replied.

"This stupid guy is a waste of time! If there were no Germans in such important strategic areas as Palermo and Messina, how could there be Germans in the more remote areas of Geira, Victoria, Modica, Catania and Ragusa? ”

"Humph! Didn't he even see that the Germans had completely abandoned Sicily? Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for the Germans to abandon Palermo and Messina, the capitals of Sicily! ”

"This is not at all in keeping with Hitler's character, who was fighting for every inch of territory, especially in such important strategic locations as Palermo and Messina; If there were no other major reasons, Hitler would not have given up so easily! ”

Montgomery shouted in surprise as soon as Major General Grunse's words were finished.

"This ...... I don't know either! ”

"But Patton's temper has always been so elusive, and this time I can tell that he is eager to run into those German troops right away, and start a big war!"

"I'm afraid it's because in the last battle of Sicily, he couldn't bear his defeat!"

"That's why I'm in such a hurry to find the Germans, ready to kill and avenge their dead officers and soldiers!"

Major General Glenser smiled bitterly.

"Forget it! Whatever! Anyway, both Palermo, the capital of Sicily, and Messina are now under the control of my army, so I think we should concentrate on fighting on the Italian mainland! ”

"As soon as the air battle of the German army has passed, I will immediately ask Eisenhower and Marshall to fight on the Italian mainland!"

"Anyway, today I have obtained the command of the 3rd Army, which means that the strength of the troops I command now is more than that of Patton's brute fool!"

"At that time, our army will surely sweep through the whole of Italy, and conquer all of Italy by the Yellow Dragon, especially if we want to be the first general and army to occupy Rome!"

"As for Patton's fool, let him and his troops continue to search for the Germans in the remote areas of Sicily!"

Montgomery was immediately in high spirits, waving his big hands excitedly and laughing.

Major General Grunser, on the other hand, smiled bitterly helplessly and did not answer.

And at this time, in Catania, Sicily.

Mandolfel, who had been promoted to general by Chen Yanlong ahead of schedule, also began an urgent operational meeting on the third day after Montgomery and Patton's troops had successfully landed in Sicily.

Catania is the second largest city in Sicily in southern Italy and the capital of the province of Catania.

Catania is located on the eastern coast of Sicily, halfway between Messina and Syracuse, at the foot of Mount Etna.

Catania is also the second most densely populated city in Sicily.

But Mandolfil's battle meetings were not held in the city of the port city of Catania, or in the famous castle of Ursino.

Instead, it was held at a secluded air defense site on the snow-covered Mount Etna, and the German officers present were high-ranking figures of all units.

"Now that the Führer has sent out aviation units to attack the Anglo-American air forces that have invaded Sicily, it means that soon it will be time for us to come out for a counterattack!"

"And now I have summoned you to an emergency meeting to decide on the task of dividing our forces to annihilate the enemy army!"

"Our current targets are the 13th and 30th Armies commanded by Montgomery, as well as the troops of the British 1st Airborne Brigade, as well as the reorganized Third Army, and the 7th Army commanded by Patton, as well as the Great Red 1st Division commanded by Allen!"

When Mandolfil waited until all the officers were present, his first words were straight to the point.

Hearing this, all the high-ranking German officers looked at each other, and quickly wondered whether they were responsible for annihilating Montgomery's troops, or Patton's 7th Army and Allen's Red 1st Division.
