Chapter 61 Chen Yanlong's Operational Conception of the Sicilian Campaign
About half an hour later, Dönitz led his submarine force of about 1,000 personnel, all of whom landed ashore, and when they saw the 'Midway' class aircraft carrier and the 600 carrier-based planes that Chen Yanlong had handed over to them, all the personnel were stunned and their eyes were bulging with shock, their mouths were wide open, and their eyes were full of disbelief, disbelief, and disbelief expressions, and they all stood with their mouths open. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Dönitz, in particular, was even more excited, panting like a cow, his heart was pounding rapidly, and he couldn't even speak.
As for Chen Yanlong's request for him to send a large number of submarine forces and ships to the death to rescue the remnants of the defeated German troops on the Bangjiao Peninsula, and suffered heavy losses and a complete lack of troops and weapons and equipment, how worried he was that Chen Yanlong did not have any supplements to his Admiralty, or gave him some very poor weapons and equipment.
But when his heart saw these advanced aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft in front of him, he was simply elated, wanting to dance on the spot, and shouting like crazy, to express his current excitement and unbearable happiness.
And the person who was a little different from his excitement at this moment was Herman; and Braun.
Originally, when the two of them hurriedly followed the guard captain Kenneth from the port of Hamburg to Chen Yanlong's location, when they saw the huge "Redstone" missile and the design drawings of this type of missile, they were also completely messy in the wind, and the two of them were also red with excitement, dancing around the "Redstone" missile excitedly, and shouting and shouting.
At the same time, he kept observing, studying, and petting the "Redstone" missile as if it were some family heirloom......
It was only when Chen Yanlong told them that the "Redstone" missile, which was 21.1 meters long, 1.8 meters in diameter, and weighed 27,763 kilograms as a whole; It was a superweapon that the United States and the Soviet Union were secretly developing; Immediately, these two of Germany's most famous rocket experts were shocked and petrified, and their minds were short-circuited.
"! Mud Horse's! When did the Yankees and the Russians become so awesome! He actually played rocket and threw us a whole street! No! It should be ten streets! Look at how big and cool this rocket is! And a lot of the parts in them, we don't know what they come from! At first glance, it is a high-end product, and with our current science and technology, it is absolutely NP dead, and it can't be made! ”
At the same time, the two of them were also very miserable in their minds, and tears flowed down their faces.
In this regard, Chen Yanlong could only smile bitterly, comforted the two of them with kind words, and then separated from them.
On the occasion of separation, he also made it clear to the two of them that they should try to mass-produce the A5 missile, and make good use of the design drawings of the "Redstone" missile he gave them to conduct in-depth research and improvement.
Listen, Herman; And Braun hurriedly thanked and accepted Chen Yanlong's order.
As for Dönitz, Chen Yanlong told him that he should find a place to establish an aircraft carrier and a training base for carrier-based aircraft as soon as possible; In addition, it sent personnel to Japan to hire some officers with experience in aircraft carrier command to come to Germany to train the naval soldiers of their future aircraft carrier fleet in a new class.
It is hoped that in the future, a qualified aircraft carrier fleet will be built for Germany.
Before Dönitz could finish speaking, he was very excited to agree, and automatically and consciously launched the military oath; Vowed to build a powerful naval aircraft carrier fleet for Germany to defend the country.
In this regard, Chen Yanlong was also very satisfied and relieved to lead the captain of the guard to leave Rostock.
As for Herman; and Braun, and the Redstone missiles were handed over to Dönitz and his submarine force to transport them back to the Penemünde Research Center.
And those carrier-based aircraft, and the 'Midway' class aircraft carriers were also handed over to Dönitz to deal with.
On the way back to Berlin, Chen Yanlong was resting in the Junkers JU52 transport plane, while thinking about how to get into the Sicilian battle in July; Give the Anglo-American allies a bleed so that he can get more energy points and a chance to survive and develop.
Chen Yanlong clearly recalled that it was recorded in later historical materials: "In the summer of 1943, the Allied forces concentrated a large number of troops in the coastal ports of North Africa to prepare for the implementation of the Sicily landing operation plan codenamed "Husky". Responsible for the implementation of the plan is the 15th Army Group under the command of General Alexander, under the jurisdiction of the British 8th Army and the US 7th Army, a total of 13 divisions (including 10 infantry divisions, 1 armored division and two airborne divisions) and 3 independent brigades, a total strength of 478,000 troops, more than 4,000 combat aircraft, more than 3,300 combat ships and auxiliary vessels, and two British aircraft carriers. ”
"The British 8th Army, commanded by Montgomery, was tasked with landing in the area from Siracusa to Pachino, southeast of the island, and advancing towards Messina; The U.S. 7th Army was commanded by Patton; Its mission was to land in the area from Jera to Likata in the southwest of the island, cut the enemy forces in half through the center of the island, and clear the northwest corner of the island of enemy forces. The landing date was set for July 10, 1943. ”
"At 3:45 a.m. on July 10, the 160,000 U.S. and British landing forces under the command of Patton and Montgomery landed in the southwest and southeast of Sicily under the cover of 3,200 warships and transports, under the cover of 1,000 aircraft...... In the Sicily landing campaign, the British and American allies covertly mobilized a large number of land, navy, and air forces from various places, and they had an absolute superiority in troops, and they were always in an advantageous position of "attacking the weak with the strong," and they were also successful in camouflage and deception, thus ensuring the suddenness of the campaign. ”
After thinking of this, Chen Yanlong clenched his fists and frowned deeply.
"It's still a matter of air supremacy and troops! But even then, I'm going to have a big fight with you in Sicily! Hey! Since I don't have enough planes and ships, I don't have enough of you! Then I will first use my T-54 tank unit and anti-tank armament to annihilate your armored division; As for the army units, I'll slowly put them in and fight, well! And your paratroopers are also put in to kill! ”
"Although I am not a strategic and tactical fighter, as a Chinese special forces in later generations, I still have a lot of experience in our Chinese guerrilla tactics!"
After a long time, Chen Yanlong slowly showed a confident smile that had not been seen for several years, and muttered to himself.
Immediately, he gradually imagined in his heart how to deploy his German troops in the Battle of Sicily, and how to achieve more victories......
