At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, more than 250 planes successively transported 20,000 artillery shells, 30,000 mortar shells, 30,000 grenades, hundreds of boxes of morphica, 500 units of plasma and 2,000 bandages, more than 2,000 rations, more than 2 million rounds of machine gun ammunition, and more than 1,000 radio batteries and other military supplies to the troops stationed in Tunisia. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But this is only the beginning, as more than 1,000 planes are carrying large quantities of napalm and high-explosive bombs to Tunisia.

It also amassed 1,800 aircraft, including the Lancasters, Marauders, Flying Fortresses, and Liberators.

Batch after batch, these planes are assembled at several airports in Tunis.

Because today they are going to carry out surprise bombardments on Rome, Italy, in order to force Italy to withdraw from the war and surrender completely.

"Fran! How many planes have been dispatched to our airport now? ”

A flight captain named Rick asked another flight captain named Briley.

"The 34th, 44th, 91st, 92nd, 93rd, 94th, 95th, 96th, and 100th bombardment teams of the 8th Air Force, as well as the 303rd, 305th, 306th, 351st, 379th, 381st and 493rd bombardment teams have all gathered, but they are scattered across the airfields of Tunisia, and our airfields also have 800 planes parked at the airfields!"

Brairy replied with a greeting from the other party.

"Then when are we going to start our departure and bomb Rome, Italy?"

Rick continued.

"It should be soon! Anyway, more than 1,200 B17 and B24 bombers from the three air divisions that our Eighth Air Force is going to dispatch this time have all arrived here, and the rest of the planes are Lancaster bombers and Mosquito bombers of the British Royal Air Force. ”

Briley replied with a grin.

"Huh! All bombers, and there are no fighters to escort us? ”

Rick was slightly surprised when he heard that it was all bombers.

"Of course there are fighter groups, and in order to deal with those German elusiveness, the fighters who escorted us this time are all P-47 fighters, and P-51 Mustang fighters, and Typhoon fighters."

"I heard that this time the British Typhoon fighter is also equipped with 4 20mm cannons, 2 227 kg or 500 kg bombs, and 8 27.2 kg rockets!"

"Hey! This time, even if we encounter the German FW190 fighters equipped with rockets, they are fearless, especially our American P-51 Mustang fighters, which are the best and fastest! ”

Seeing Rick's surprised expression, Briley immediately smiled happily.

"If that's the case, it looks like those Italians are going to be blown up by us today!"

Rick's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his face was full of joy.

"I didn't pay attention to the Italians, our main opponents were always the Germans! Especially their mysterious new weapons and equipment, which are the weapons of mass destruction that we must guard against the most! ”

Briley retorted disapprovingly.

"You're right! Otherwise, our Sicilian landing operation would not have dragged on for so long! ”

Rick nodded in agreement.

"Shhhh The Sicilian landing operation is a secret battle plan of our troops, don't say it casually, otherwise if those law enforcement officers hear it, we will be arrested and court-martialed! ”

After hearing this, Briley immediately looked around and said nervously to Rick.

Hearing Briley's warning, Rick also immediately closed his mouth, not daring to say anything more about the Sicilian landing operation.

"All bomber pilots, get into your planes and get ready to attack!"

At this moment, there was a burst of horns and orders to take off from the control tower of the airport.

"Let's go! It seems that our air raids to bomb Rome are going to start early! ”

As soon as he heard the order to fight, Briley immediately said to Rick.

With that, he hurried towards his bomber.

Seeing this, Rick stopped talking and hurried towards his bomber.

And while each of these bomber pilots was quickly in position, ready to take off; On the sea from Algiers to Tunisia, hundreds of warships are sailing towards the island of Pantelleria.

These warships included more than 140 warships of Britain and Canada, 60 warships of the United States, and 30 warships of other allied countries.

These battleships had battleships, cruisers, destroyers and low-board heavy gunboats.

Behind them there are a large number of huge transport ships of all kinds, as well as support vessels, as well as minesweepers.

If anyone could have climbed aboard these ships to watch, they would have been amazed to find Montgomery; And Patton also personally led his elite troops and hid in these ships.

"Is the Sicily landing going tonight? General Patton! ”

Patton's chief of staff, the one-eyed general with a carbine on his back, Hobert? Guy asked excitedly.

"Possibly! However, it is necessary to look at the weather conditions first, because the first attack in this landing operation is our airborne troops, and if the weather is bad at night, I am afraid that it will not be able to launch an attack until morning! ”

"However, what I expected is that there is a high probability that the group will launch an airborne attack at night, because we have not yet investigated the number of new weapons and equipment of the German army, the production location, and the storage location!"

"So if we want to win the war, we can only take a preemptive night attack now!"

"And in order to distract the German army, we also carried out a large-scale air raid on Rome, the capital of Italy, at the same time!"

Wearing a steel helmet, a pistol on his waist, a large telescope, and a large cigar in his mouth, Barton grinned happily and with a fighting spirit.

"Hey! As long as I can fight in person, I can attack whenever I want! I'm going to let those Germans know how powerful our 7th Army commander is! Our strength is definitely not as bad as the soldiers they defeated on Pantelleria Island! ”

"At least this time, if the Germans want to defeat us, I am afraid that they will have to pay a very heavy price! But I'm afraid they don't have the ability and the chance to defeat us! ”

Hobert? Guy said confidently and proudly.

"Hey! Of course! Last time, we just underestimated the cunning character of these Germans, and they killed them once! But this time we're prepared! We will never repeat the same mistake as last time! ”

Patton's eyes were sharp as he stared at the island of Pantelleria that was getting closer and closer, and murderous intent surged out.

"Of course at that time, and this time it was General Patton who personally led the troops and carried out the landing operation, so our 7th Army Group only had victory, no defeat!"

"At the very least, we will definitely be twice as strong as Montgomery's 8th Army!"

Hobert? Guy quickly chimed in.

Hearing this, Barton just smiled happily, and then stared thoughtfully at the sparkling sea.

At this time, the British 1st Airborne Division and the 82nd Airborne Division were also in one of the airfields in Tunis; Waiting for the arrival of those C-47 transport fleets, as well as the order to get on board.

At the same time, a large group of British and American bombers, escorted by more than 700 fighters, went to Rome, Italy, in preparation for a surprise attack.

At this moment, the sudden landing of British and American forces in Sicily, and the bombing of Rome were also rapidly commencing.

The German intelligence agencies, Guderian's troops stationed in Sicily, and Chen Yanlong in Berlin were ignorant of such a sudden combat operation.
