For Chen Yanlong, whether it was the Sicilian Campaign, the future Italian Campaign, or the entire European Campaign, the contest between the British and American forces and the German army was actually nothing more than a contest between the capitalist powers and the redivision of territorial forces.

Of course, Hitler's crazy idea of genocide must be eliminated, and the red idea of the Soviet army cannot be counted.

Because Chen Yanlong was divided into two countries after the defeat of the German army in later generations, it can be seen that when the Soviet army was strong, Britain and the United States helped the German army become strong and fight against the Soviet army.

If the same German army is strong, then they will support the Soviet army to become strong and play a balanced role in mutual confrontation.

In short, both the Soviet army and the German army are just tools used by Britain and the United States to balance Europe.

However, the premise is that they have the strength to control the two great powers, otherwise everything is empty talk.

Therefore, for the operational thinking of confronting the British and American forces, as well as the entire European war, Chen Yanlong does not want to rule and conquer; Rather, it was to defeat Britain and the United States, so as to obtain the greatest interests for themselves and Germany, and then negotiate peacefully to redistribute land and interests.

This is different from Japan's imperialist ideology of global conquest, and all he wants is a huge survival benefit.

So when Britain and the United States bombed Italy on a massive scale, and launched the Sicilian campaign; In addition to being nervous, Chen Yanlong didn't have much fear.

Although he knew that if the German army was defeated under his leadership, he would also be slaughtered by the British and Americans; But he knew that these British and American troops were not as fierce as the Japanese army, and no matter how many people were killed or wounded, they would continue to fight until the last moment; Therefore, as long as Chen Yanlong defeats them, beats them painfully, and beats them badly, then Britain and the United States will obediently conduct peace negotiations.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the U.S. military has strong industrial capabilities and can manufacture a large number of advanced weapons and equipment for them, I'm afraid Chen Yanlong really didn't take them too seriously.

Because Chen Yanlong knew very well that the German army's individual combat capability was definitely stronger than that of the British and American troops.

Therefore, when he was not too nervous about the offensive of the British and American troops, Chen Yanlong instead put half of his focus on the battlefield on the Eastern Front.

Because for Chen Yanlong, if there is no comparison of industrial capacity, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to deal with the Soviet army than against the British and American troops.

At the very least, the German army did not have to face the cold and bitter cold winter of the Soviet Union, and there was also the problem of supply lines, the problem of comprehensive national strength, the problem of the iron will of the country's leaders, and the problem of British and American support......

Moreover, for Germany, which has rich experience in elastic defensive operations, if it wants to fight a defensive war, Chen Yanlong is very confident that the German army will never lose to the Soviet army.

At least Chen Yanlong knew in the historical materials of later generations that the Soviet army suffered a lot and lost the battle whether it attacked Poland or Finland.

In other words, the Soviet army is not a country that is good at offensive warfare, and it is not as powerful as the Mongolian army of ancient Genghis Khan who fought in all directions.

As for the later period, the Soviet army was able to invade Berlin in Germany on a large scale and occupy the Reichstag; That's because all the elite units of the German army were consumed on the east and west fronts, so the Soviet army attacked the mainland.

"Now that Britain and the United States have begun to make big moves in Italy and Sicily, then the operational strategy of the Eastern Front, I will continue to operate in the form of defensive operations! Moreover, it is necessary to fully withdraw the troops of the Eastern Front to the border between Germany and Poland as much as possible, and shorten the supply lines to fight the Soviet army! ”

"After I have inflicted heavy losses on the Soviet troops, I will find a way to gradually recover those occupied areas! And divide the Confederate states of the Soviet army and let them disintegrate in advance! In that case, the Eastern Front problem would be almost solved! ”

"When there is only one Russia left, then there will not be so much pressure!"

Chen Yanlong paced back and forth in his room at the Berlin Chancellery.

"As for now, let the troops of the Anglo-American allies try the taste of a crushing defeat! After they are hurt and scared by me, it is time for me to strive for the maximum profit! ”

In the end, Chen Yanlong showed a bright smile and thought happily.

At this time, when the British and American paratroopers were successfully airborne one after another, the black pressure of the British and American fleets also appeared on the sea outside Sicily.

At this time, the time was just over 3 o'clock in the morning, and the sky was not yet bright, and even the whiteness of the fish belly on the edge of the sky had not yet been revealed, let alone the morning sun.

But even so, under the dim light of the moon, the 1st Infantry Division, under the cover of the British and American paratroopers who had successfully parachuted in, and with the assistance of three ranger battalions, charged violently towards their landing beachhead.

Their goal was to seize the small town not far behind the beachhead, and to take the field of Fonteolivo in one fell swoop, thereby destroying the German airfield on Sicily and cutting them off air support for the operation.

"Log in! Before the Italians find us! Clear and occupy these beachheads as soon as possible! ”

A Ranger captain led a large group of Rangers, jumped off the landing craft, waded onto the beach, and shouted loudly.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

It's just that as soon as his words fell, the sound of fierce mine explosions shook his eardrums and deafened.

Looking at the beach where black smoke suddenly billowed and corpses were strewn all over the ground, the Ranger captain suddenly stared at him with blood-red fury in disbelief.

He didn't expect that there were so many mines buried in these beachheads, and that more than a dozen of his Rangers had been killed and wounded in a short period of time.

"Damn the Germans, and the Italians! Lao Tzu must kill all of you devils! ”

As the Ranger captain listened to the crippled soldiers who were not yet dead, but were wailing in pain, he suddenly became green and roared like thunder.

Under his roaring and invective, the soldiers of the other follow-up 1st Infantry Division, at the urging of their respective commanders, carefully carried out the beachhead landing battle.

There are also demining teams to be deployed in front to carry out demining operations.

"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! Dadada......"

"Bang! Bang! Bang......"

At this moment, the Italian troops stationed in this beachhead area, the brave Italian soldiers, shooters, and gunners began to fight back fiercely.

"Fight back! Counterattack! The Italian army in front began to attack us! ”

Looking at the dense stream of bullets, the British and American troops, who were landing and advancing, immediately withdrew to a position more than 100 yards from the beach and began to hurriedly fight back.

Only when they retreated, many soldiers were killed and wounded, including those mine-clearing engineers, and they suffered heavy casualties.

However, the ferocious Italian troops, who had just counterattacked, suffered heavy casualties under the more fiery and ferocious naval artillery salvos of the British and American fleets, and even their will to fight was weakened a lot.

Moreover, many Italian beachhead pillboxes were destroyed and blown up, and the Italian soldiers inside were either killed and wounded, or in agony, screaming and raising their hands to surrender, or were directly burned to the ground by the fuel bombs fired by the British and American troops, burned to ashes, and died.

"Good! Well done! This is how to deal with these dog-day Italian troops, to let them know that our 1st Division is invincible and invincible! Hahaha! ”

Seeing the complete collapse of the Italian troops under the indiscriminate bombardment of his own fleet's naval guns, John, the commander of the 26th Regiment of the US Army, couldn't help but laugh and said happily.
