Death, death, death everywhere in the ancient city of Modica, and charred bodies from shells; Or the bones of fragmented corpses, which are also scattered all over the battlefield.

Even the children, adults and elderly who were hiding in the bomb shelters were contorted by the poisonous gases that poured into the bomb shelters and air defense facilities, and their bodies were distorted and died in numbness and fear.

This is war, and in the midst of this sudden outbreak of war, the bodies of the officers and men who were killed by the bombing were not removed from the bomb shelters and bomb craters by rescue teams or burial teams.

Even the corpse thieves who roamed around committing crimes did not appear.

For all the bleak situation on the battlefield, no one paid attention to the officers and men of the German and American armies who were engaged in fierce battles.

Because if they are slightly distracted at this moment, then the next person to die on the battlefield will be their own.

Moreover, when Eisenhower obtained Marshall's consent to attack the P-80 "Meteor" fighter group, he immediately transferred 15 pilot squadrons from the remaining 35 fighter squadrons under his command to Sicily to assist Cunningham's carrier-based aircraft flight unit and carry out air strikes on the German forces led by Mandolfer, who attacked Patton's troops.

As for Cunningham, he was also very generous in dispatching 45 carrier-based squadrons at one time, preparing to annihilate the German artillery and missile units in one fell swoop, and retaliate with a tooth for a tooth.

Hewitt, on the other hand, stood still for the time being, waiting for the latest battle situation before considering attacking, or continued to use it as the last card of the US army to attack the German air force and naval forces that could sneak attack at any time.

Because for the German army and Britain and the United States, the most important key to this battle is the air forces of both sides, who can achieve the final advantage, or who can obtain air supremacy, then who can dominate the main battle of this battle, and even win the final victory of the war.

At least in the eyes of Cunningham and Eisenhower, if the Germans had gained air supremacy, they would have been able to reverse the battle of Sicily, the Battle of Cassino, and the Battle of the Winter Line if they had only to continuously send their air forces to carry out air strikes against their fleets and land.

Moreover, once the German army even fully obtains air supremacy in the English Channel and other areas around the United Kingdom, then the British Navy can only resist the landing of the German army for a period of time, and cannot resist for a long time.

In particular, if the British Navy is unable to resist the invasion of the German naval forces and amphibious landing forces, and if the British Air Force is completely annihilated, then the remaining British coastal forces and beach defense forces, and even the native land forces, will be unable to stop the German amphibious landing, and after the landing, the German tanks and infantry will build bridgeheads on the British mainland coast to prepare for the invasion of the British interior.

Of course, if the German army really wants to completely annihilate all the British flying forces, then in addition to shooting down and destroying more British planes and killing more British pilots, it is also necessary to blow up and destroy all the British aircraft factories and the American transport fleet.

Otherwise, everything is empty talk, although before the start of the war, the number of German planes and the number of British planes was almost 5 to 1.

However, a few years after the outbreak of the war, the British army with the help of the American army, their aircraft manufacturing gradually increased, especially a large number of aircraft supported by the American army, so Eisenhower was able to gather so many planes for reserve use at this moment.

Of course, more than half of the planes were transported from the continental United States by a large number of transport fleets to participate in the battles of Sicily and Cassino and other places.

Moreover, for the current British and American high-level leaders, they also very much want to establish more bombing units, to completely destroy the German army's aviation industry and weapons and equipment manufacturing industry in various industrial centers and aircraft manufacturing plants, to paralyze the supply of weapons and equipment of German troops, and to paralyze the combat effectiveness of the German army.

Moreover, the British and American top brass are also convinced that through continuous ferocious bombing, the German army can cause great damage to the people of the whole country in the moral, material, physical, and spiritual ways, so that they have no intention of fighting and surrender, or they are afraid of the British and American air forces and lose this World War II.

With the constant roar of the sound of the planes, and the voices of the pilots chattering, the various command orders carried out through the aviation radio, and the secret discussion of the battle situation on the front line, the sound resounded over the airfields of Algiers; All the British and American pilots who received Eisenhower's order to attack immediately flew the latest P-80 "Meteor" fighter planes they had acquired, took off from the jet base, and rushed towards Sicily in a fierce manner.

"Attack! Sortie! Sortie ......"

Behind these P-80 "Meteor" fighters, which took off one after another, there were still orders for the take-off of one P-80 "Meteor" fighter after another.

Of course, there are also take-off orders for other types of fighters, such as the P-51 Mustang, which is also the take-off command voice of a new fighter newly developed and produced by the US military.
