Herman who participated in the Sicilian campaign? The Goering Division is under the jurisdiction of: two tank regiments (including four tank battalions and two assault gun battalions), two armored infantry regiments; two grenadier regiments, an assault regiment from the paratrooper unit; One anti-aircraft artillery regiment, two artillery regiments, a reconnaissance battalion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As well as two armored engineer battalions, a М-21 rocket artillery regiment, an anti-aircraft machine gun regiment, as well as an armored artillery regiment, as well as armored communications units, medical and logistical support units.

At this time, on the beach where the 45th Division of the US Army landed, Hermann Goering's division was lurking an assault regiment, two М-21 rocket artillery battalions, and a grenadier regiment, a tank regiment, an armored engineer battalion, an artillery regiment, two anti-aircraft machine gun battalions, two anti-aircraft artillery regiments, and an armored infantry regiment......

"Get all the troops ready to go! British and American bomber groups have reached the skies over Sicily, and they are still bombing the Italian troops on various beachheads, assisting those British and American troops in landing operations! ”

Christian Christian, commander of the Hermann Goering Division, was in a small beachhead village near the Jera area, staring at the dense crowd of British and American bombers with flashing lights.

"What is the opinion of the division commander, General Paul Conratt? Did he know that the British and Americans had already sent two divisions to carry out the landing at Jerawan Bay? And did the arrival of the Anglo-American bomber group report to him? ”

The commander of the grenadier regiment, Frank, responded.

"Everything has been reported to him, and assistance is waiting for his battle order!"

Captain Christian nodded.

"That's good! We will definitely win this time and survive! ”

Captain Frank still nodded.

"That's right! It's best to be alive! But it's a good thing to be able to kill these British and American troops without leaving a single piece of armor! Because I was not happy to look at their proud posture, and I wanted to beat them up viciously! ”

The head of the regiment, Christian, suddenly grinned.

"Hey! We are on the same page! ”

Frank, the head of the regiment, also smiled happily and responded.

"It's a pity that we have to let the Führer send those recruits to assist us in the battle first, and go to the battlefield first!"

The head of the regiment, Christian, said with a little regret.

"Or may! But this is better for us to know the strength of the British and American forces, and the combat deployment, so that we can speed up the annihilation of them! ”

Frank, the head of the regiment, shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly.

"In that case, then when those British and American bomber groups are bombed, let's launch a counterattack! But to help, let those recruits learn how to resist the landing offensive of those British and American troops! So they can get some hands-on experience! ”

The head of the regiment, Christian, immediately clapped his head.

"Great idea!"

Captain Frank clapped his hands happily in agreement.

"Having said that, do we have to ask the teacher Paul first? General Conratt, and our new deputy division commander, William. Smaltz! Because we have to obey their orders before we can start fighting! ”

Looking at Frank, the head of the regiment, who was in excitement, the head of the regiment, Christian, reminded.

"Hey! If you don't remind me, you really forgot! ”

Captain Frank grinned.

Then the two of them went to the new deputy division commander, William. Smaltz discussed, and after a brief discussion between them, the new deputy division commander, William. Smaltz called the commanders of the other branches of the army over; An urgent operational meeting was held in the makeshift headquarters in the hamlet.

At this time, the sky has not yet dawned, and the dawn has not yet come.

Originally, the soldiers of the 1st Division of the U.S. Army, who had just established their positions, were still thinking about making a cup of instant coffee and eating something; Of course, I also want to smoke at least a lucky card, or a camel brand cigarette to calm down the cold.

Because many of these soldiers were wet by the sea, especially those who were wet by the rough waves because of the transportation of weapons and equipment, and they were even more tired and cold.

But Terry Allen's order to them was to check their M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, whether they were well oiled, whether the magazine of the Thompson submachine gun was loaded, whether the ammunition box was ready, and of course, other weapons and equipment, all of which needed to be checked one by one.

At the same time, they were also asked to march in squads towards the towns where the Italian army had retreated and surrendered, and prepare to occupy them.

It was only when they were halfway through the road that the whole night sky was shaken by dazzling flashes of light and deafening explosions, and the earth shook, and then cannonballs whistled down from the sky.

"What's going on!"

Many U.S. troops who hadn't reacted yet screamed.

As soon as the words fell, those dense, seemingly innumerable high-explosive bombs and grenades exploded on their positions, blowing up large areas of American troops into the sky, or the limbs of the explosion were shattered, and they were scattered to the ground like the corpses of five horses, and the blood stained the ground red.

"It's an attack from the Italian position, everyone fight back! Those Italians still have resistance! ”

"Not the Italian Army! It's the Germans! I saw their helmets! ”

"Fight back, fight back! Don't run! ”

At the same time, the entire 1st Division of the US Army immediately began to boil with noise, and various officers and many soldiers were shouting in panic.

And at this moment, one after another dazzling tracer bullets suddenly drew a light of different colors in the night sky of the war.

At the same time, more than 300 artillery pieces spitting tongues of fire instantly poured thousands of tons of shells into the positions of the 1st Division of the US Army.

In the roar of ferocious artillery fire, the whole earth trembled and shook; It was as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, and it was like an earthquake, which was terrifying.

But what made these bombed American troops even more tragic was that many soldiers were so frightened that they fled to the minefields where the Germans had buried the Italians on the beach.

These minefields are all equipped with a large number of German S-type mines 'Bounce Betty' mines, the most famous of the German mines.

When the U.S. military stepped on these jumping mines, 360 marbles flew in all directions in an instant, first to the waist-height of the U.S. soldiers, and then exploded, shooting the shotgun horizontally at a lethal speed......

This type of mine is specifically designed to attack uncovered infantry in open areas, and is available in two versions: SMi-35 and SMi-44.

In addition to this 'Bouncing Betty' jumping mine, there are also a lot of Shulei mines.

These mines, which contain more than 100 grams of TNT charge, are also very powerful, and they are buried 25-50 mm in the sand.

Listening to the dense shelling of the German army and the explosion of his own soldiers constantly stepping on the mines, Terry Allen immediately had red eyes and decisively let his troops withdraw first, avoiding the German shelling and minefields.

"Inform me of the air force above us, and blow up all those hateful German troops, especially their artillery and minefields!"

At the same time, Terry Allen also snarled in anger at his correspondent.

"Blow me up these bastards Germans! They're so hateful that they're giving us a surprise attack again! ”

Before the correspondent could send his order to the air force, Terry Allen, commander of the 1st Division of the US Army, was already furious, roaring one after another.
