Chapter 108: Hewitt's angry roar
Because these people were also afraid that if they were careful to say something wrong, they would clean up Chen Yanlong as well. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, Chen Yanlong did not pay much attention to the fear of the crowd, but under the guidance of Garland and Milch, he met the ace pilots in the aircraft factory one by one, and praised and encouraged them with a bright smile.
The pilots were very excited about this, especially those who had been suppressed by the former commander-in-chief of the Air Force, Goering.
"Thank you! Monarch! I'm going to train hard! ”
"Me too! Monarch! I will defend the airspace of our empire to the death! ”
"The Führer is wise, the Führer is victorious!"
"We will be proficient in these new fighters in the shortest possible time! Victorious Führer! ”
"Thank you Führer for being so nice to us! I am willing to follow the Führer forever and forever to defend my homeland and country! Fight in the south and in the north! ”
"Just give me a month, no! In half a month, I was able to familiarize myself with the various performances of these new aircraft, and I was able to fight for it! Victorious Führer! ”
Therefore, when these unambitious ace pilots who had been suppressed by Goering were praised and encouraged by Chen Yanlong, they were as excited and excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood; With a flushed face, he saluted the air force and responded loudly with all his strength.
"Good! You are all the most precious, strongest, and best pilots in our empire, and the air supremacy of our empire's airspace will all be handed over to you to guard! ”
Chen Yanlong smiled with satisfaction and nodded lightly in response.
"Yes! Monarch! Victorious Führer! ”
All the pilots were once again agitated and uncontrollable, trembling with all their might, shouting loudly.
Chen Yanlong didn't say anything more, but smiled slightly, and returned an air force salute to all the pilots who had learned their way of saluting.
In this regard, the pilots were even more desperate, and they made up their minds in their hearts to care about them for this one who knew so well; They are so willing to praise and encourage their Führer to fight the enemy to the end, regardless of their status, until the blood of defending the country is spilled.
In fact, Chen Yanlong didn't know that his imitation of Napoleon's practice of buying the hearts of soldiers would have such a miraculous effect.
Chen then watched the pilots fly the TA152 fighter jet, the Ar234 "Lightning" jet bomber, and the Me262 jet fighter for night flight training, and then encouraged them, and had a supper with all of them before leaving.
Because at this moment, the time they were in was still late at night, and the battle of Pantelleria was still going on.
After eating supper, Chen Yanlong parted from everyone, because he still had to rush to Dönitz to watch his aircraft carrier training and carrier-based aircraft training.
Of course, before going to Dönitz, he was still in the Bavarian aircraft factory, giving Gotthard? Heinrich inquired about the latest information on the battle of Pantelleria.
At this moment, the sea around the island of Pantelleria.
The British Navy's aircraft carriers HMS Invincible and HMS Dreadnought, as well as the naval attack transports HMS Monrovia, the battleships USS Texas, and HMS New York, as well as more than 40 destroyers and more than 30 other ships are floating slowly in the 20,000-meter sea of Pantelleria.
"How's it going?"
On board the Navy attack transport ship 'Monrovia', Hewitt, the most important amphibious warfare expert of the US Navy, asked with a deep frown at the staff officer Bitter beside him.
"Of the four wings of the British air support units we have sent out, only one wing of aircraft remains! All the others are destroyed! As for the anti-aircraft artillery positions of the Italian troops that went to attack the island of Pantelleria, and the air force at the airfield, there were less than 10 planes that were able to safely escape back! ”
Staff Officer Bittel replied in horror.
"How can this be! Why are our Air Force suffering such terrible losses! ”
After listening to the report, Hewitt also asked in a panic.
Because such a loss has never been tried since he joined the army, and for such a huge loss, he does not know how to report to President Roosevelt, and account!
"Because the Germans sent a large number of advanced aircraft and anti-aircraft artillery to counterattack us! According to the returning pilots, the Germans had premeditated the deployment of a wide net of land, sea and air forces on the island of Pantelleria! ”
Staff Officer Bittel wiped the cold sweat on his head and continued to report in shock.
"Bastard! How did the Germans know that we would send a large force to attack the island of Pantelleria! And the last time they were in the Tunisian campaign, didn't they lose a lot of aviation and aircraft, as well as submarines? How come there are still so many air and submarine forces to deploy and attack us! What's going on here? ”
Hewitt roared in a sudden rage.
"I don't know yet! Our intelligence services are investigating! ”
Staff Officer Bittle replied cautiously and apprehensively.
"Why are these wretched intelligence gates such a waste every time! I can't even investigate every move of the German army, and I don't even know about such a large-scale troop deployment, I'm really angry! ”
Hearing this, Hewitt burst into a rage and scolded.
"Does Commander Aehausen-Will know about our current heavy losses?"
Hewitt suddenly remembered.
"Hmmm! already knows, he is also very angry, and now he personally goes to the heads of those intelligence services to have a meeting! ”
Staff Officer Bittel continued to reply cautiously.
"Alright! These useless intelligence services are really going to be reorganized! ”
Hewitt said angrily.
"Yes! The sir's right! ”
Staff Officer Bittel hurriedly agreed.
"By the way, in addition to the huge losses of our air force, what happened to our ships and army units?"
Hewitt calmed his anger and continued to ask.
"All the ships of the forward units that took part in the attack were destroyed, and not a single ship escaped! All of them were annihilated by the German submarine forces! As for the Army, it does not know the situation yet, and it is still fighting desperately; However, according to the telegram report of the whole line, when they carried out the landing operation, many soldiers were also killed and wounded! ”
Staff Officer Bittel thought for a moment, then sorted out his thoughts and replied.
After listening, Hewitt's whole face turned extremely blue, his fists were clenched, his muscles were exposed, and his eyes showed a fierce light.
"These damned fascists! Bastard Germans and Italians! I, Hewitt, swear here, that I will make you pay the heaviest price of blood for killing so many of our warriors! ”
Then Hewitt gritted his teeth and roared in a deafening rage.
