The Monastery of Cassino is located at the summit of Cassino and offers a commanding view of the entire Cassino Valley.

Monte Cassino Monastery, one of the most famous monasteries in Europe; Inside there are the splendid interior of the church, the glittering gilded decorations, the magnificent golden altar, the beautiful dome of the church, and the pleasing exquisite sculpture decoration, and even the walls and carved beam vaults inside the church are carved with many beautiful oil paintings......

Therefore, as soon as Chen Yanlong went up to the Abbey of Cassino, which is located on a peak of more than 1,700 meters above the sea, Chen Yanlong went to the empty courtyard of the monastery surrounded by Kesselring, a large group of German officers and soldiers, and the priests in the monastery, and began to visit the churches and halls of the monastery one by one.

At that moment, Chen Yanlong really felt that if this monastery could be built into a strong defensive fortress, it would probably be enough for the British and American troops to drink a pot of very tragic battles.

Because this is really a commanding height that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is definitely the best defensive fortress to build a defensive position.

But I want to think so, but do you want to do it? Chen Yanlong still spread to the truth, because he knew that the priests here were not easy to convince, and such a beautiful monastery, Chen Yanlong felt that it would be a good thing if it could be saved in the war.

As for whether this monastery will be bombed into ruins by the Anglo-American Allied aviation forces as it was in the original history, it is really unknown.

While Chen Yanlong was thinking about these miscellaneous things, the priests of those monasteries began to discuss with Chen Yanlong about the transfer of valuables and oil paintings in their monastery.

In this regard, Chen Yanlong agreed to them, and asked Kesselring to leave a high-ranking officer to talk to them slowly and in detail.

And he and Kesselring hurriedly left here with a small number of officers and went to other places.

Wherever he went next, Chen Yanlong spread back to Rome, and he continued to take Kesselring around the Gustav Line, the Bernhard Line, and the Hitler Line.

And at this time, at the place where the 1st Special Service of the United States and Canada was stationed in Tunisia.

Dr. Jeffrey Pike of the British Joint Operations Command, Executive Officer and Canadian Lieutenant Colonel John Brown. G. McQueen, Lieutenant Colonel Howard W. R. Johnson, and William Henry Harrisonburg, commander of the 501st Paratrooper Regiment, and Colonel Frederick, and Lieutenant Colonel Paul Brown. D. Adams and other senior officers of the 1st US-Canada Joint Task Force, as well as foreign aid officers, are also gathering together and training their teams.

According to the original historical time and space records of the Bai military intelligence network, according to the establishment sequence drawn up by Colonel Frederick, the 1st Special Service Team was established at the brigade level, with a total of 1,821 personnel, divided into combat echelon and support echelon. Among them, the combat echelon has jurisdiction over 3 combat regiments (417 people), and each regiment has 2 three-company combat battalions, each company has 64 people, and has jurisdiction over 3 platoons; The support echelon is one support battalion, which has jurisdiction over the battalion headquarters company, service company, maintenance company and medical detachment. There was also an air detachment under the command equipped with a number of transport aircraft (the detachment was withdrawn in 1943). According to the original purpose, the 1st Special Service also planned to equip 600 "Weasel" tracked personnel carriers newly developed by the United States (but only about 200 were actually equipped).

But now, in the time and space where Chen Yanlong is located, the number and weapons and equipment of this US-Canada joint No. 1 special service team have more than doubled.

That is to say, the current US-Canada Joint 1st Special Service Unit has at least 4,000 troops, and its weapons and equipment are also doubled, and the air detachment battalion that originally dismantled many transport planes in 1943 has not been withdrawn, but has also doubled the number of transport aircraft.

And their combat missions were the same as the original historical time and space, all of which were raids and sabotage operations against the industrial and military facilities of the German army in Norway, Romania, and the Italian Alps.

That is, the "plow" operation plan proposed by Dr. Geoffrey Pick of the British Joint Operations Command, that is, the special forces composed of multinational forces will enter the German-occupied areas such as Norway, Romania, and Italy by parachuting, raiding, mountain operations, snowy operations, etc., establish base areas behind enemy lines, conduct guerrilla warfare against the German-occupied areas under various difficult terrains and weather, ambush the German army's vital forces in large numbers, and destroy their important military installations, as well as weapons and ammunition storage. and grain storage sites, so as to disperse the forces of the German army to cooperate with the British and American armies on the frontal front.

To put it simply, it is to use special forces to fight guerrilla warfare with the German army and cooperate with the frontal combat of the British and American allies.

Therefore, when Eisenhower made up his mind to carry out another sneak attack on Italy, he immediately dispatched this US-Canada joint 1st Special Service Team, the most famous special forces during World War II, to Tunisia for new weapons and equipment, and replenish sufficient military supplies to prepare for a new round of Italian special operations.
