At this time, the P-38 Lightning, P-47 Thunderbolt, and P-51 Mustang fighter groups, together with the Royal Air Force's Typhoon, Hurricane, and Spitfire fighter groups, were indiscriminately bombarding the Italian army's tank groups, army stations, artillery positions, and ammunition storage sites at various beachhead landing sites.

Their purpose was to enable Patton and Montgomery's Army to land smoothly and safely.

"Hey! Do you feel weird? Why have we all attacked and destroyed so many Italian military installations, and tanks, as well as soldiers, German aircraft groups and tank units, and army units have not seen a trace at all. ”

During the carpet bombing, pilot Atkinson radioed to his captain.

"What's the matter, are you afraid of those German troops? Atkinson! ”

Hearing this, Captain Brewer immediately asked without reading.

"It's not! It's just that we've suffered a lot of losses from them a few times before, so we're worried about what tricks they will do this time to raid us and catch us off guard! ”

Pilot Atkinson confessed.

"What was past is already in the past! Now that we are strong and strong, and there are so many planes dispatched, even if the Germans play tricks on us again, we don't have to be afraid of them! Don't you see that we now have more than a thousand fighters, and a large group of bombers rushing over to assist us in our attack? ”

"And there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the landing operation, and more than 10,000 paratroopers have been successfully airborne!"

"Finally, we have a large fleet that is supporting us in the waters of Sicily! So we can really ignore the intrigues of the German army! In the face of absolute strength, the little cleverness of the German army is not enough to see at all! So we just need to press them well! ”

"The final victory will surely be ours in the United States of America! And we must also become heroes in the air and ace pilots in the midst of such brilliant victories! ”

Regarding the negative remarks of the pilot Atkinson, Captain Brewer was righteous and retorted loudly and disdainfully.

"You're right! Captain Brewer! Just now I was too cautious and underestimated our own true strength! With our current combat effectiveness, fighting on a scale of land, sea and air, we are really not afraid of those German troops at all! ”

After listening to Captain Brewer's tirade, pilot Atkinson also began to regain confidence, and also proudly despised the Germans.

"Hey! That's right, to be a pilot is to have such courage, no matter what kind of enemy we encounter, we must have the confidence to defeat them! What's more, now that we are still in a huge position in terms of strength, we must have no scruples! What are the Germans, as long as they dare to come out to meet the enemy, I must make them regret it, and they don't even know how they died! ”

Seeing the pilot Atkinson, who was persuaded by himself in just a few words, Captain Brewer was even more unstoppable, majestic and proud and complacent.

"Captain, awesome! Captain Wise! ”

Seeing the increasingly complacent and arrogant captain Brewer, the pilot Atkinson slapped himself very appropriately. "Hahaha! Of course I'm powerful, and if any German planes dare to come out to meet them, I'll shoot down at least 10 of them, no! It's a minimum of 20 planes for you to see! I'm the best ace pilot of our 8th Air Force! ”

was so praised by the other party, the captain Brewer was even more embarrassed and couldn't help laughing.

And seeing that the captain Brewer was more and more elated the more he laughed, the pilot Atkinson also hurriedly echoed the other party and laughed unscrupulously.

And when the two of them were so happy and happy, they laughed excitedly; 200 Waco gliders, and 120 Hosha gliders; More than 300 C-47 Dakota transport planes and 100 British Albimar transport planes are looking for suitable airborne gliding sites over Sicily.

Because under the illumination and attack of the Italian flares, searchlights, and anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns, five gliders have been lost due to the breaking of the glider's cable, and the death toll is almost 200.

"Why did we just go airborne when we were no longer near the coast?"

Looking at the group of gliders that had already flown over the coastline of Sicily, the glider officer Bidhire shouted loudly.

"Maybe it's because there are too many enemy anti-aircraft artillery groups and shore-based artillery groups on the coast just now, so they flew over the island to find a suitable airborne landing site from scratch!"

On the other hand, the glider officer, Anzia, replied loudly while staring nervously at the battle situation below the island.

"But weren't all the glider units of the British army already two miles away from the coastline, and all the gliders had been released and let them parachute on their own?"

But the officer, Bidir, retorted in a grumpy temper.

"This ...... I don't know! Let's do what we are told! Now I just hope that those German and Italian planes don't show up! Otherwise, we're in big trouble! ”

The glider officer, Anzia, ignored the other party's anger, but watched the battle situation around him intently.

"Hey! What are those German and Italian troops to be afraid of! Didn't you see that our fleet was shelling Italian positions that landed on the beach? Listen to the terrible screams of those Italian soldiers! And aren't our aviation forces attacking all around us? ”

"Under the attack of so many of our aircraft groups, I wonder if those German and Italian planes can still attack us!"

"If it weren't for the fact that we hadn't landed at the designated location like other glider units and those paratrooper units, we would have successfully landed early in the morning, and how would we continue to fly in this war-torn night sky!"

After hearing this, Officer Bidier said with a smile of mockery and contempt.

"But I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm most afraid of just in case! I think it's better to be careful in everything! ”

The glider officer Anzia shook her head in disagreement.

"Tsk! How can you talk like a Chinese, not at all like us Germans! Wen wrinkled! ”

Hearing the other party's cautious words, Officer Bidier said with a gloomy face.

It's just that the glider officer Anzia did not pay attention to the other party's every move and despise the mentality of the German and Italian troops, but concentrated all his energy on the battle situation below.

And keep an eye out for German and Italian planes and the sorties of their troops.

It's a pity that because it's still late at night, it is impossible to see the battle situation below and the terrain from the sky over Sicily.

"Let's hope nothing unexpected happens! I don't know why it always feels like something is wrong! ”

By the flares fired by the Italian army and the light of the searchlights, Anzia, the glider officer who was looking at Sicily, suddenly became uneasy.
