At this time, the soldiers of the three most famous units of the U.S. Army, the 1st Division, the 3rd Division, and the 82nd Airborne Division were severely trained by their respective division commanders. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Master Allen! We're just going to deal with the Italian army on the island of Pantelleria tomorrow, so why do we have to train so hard? ”

"Yes! Those Italian troops are simply a rabble, vulnerable! We don't need to pay so much attention to them! You see the soldiers of the other units are giggling and doing what they like! ”

"That's right! Commander Allen! We have just won the battle of Tunisia, so we should give us a good rest and adjust our mood! ”

"Andrei is right! I'm sticking with you! Master Allen, let's rest! We're all tired from training! ”

A group of soldiers of the 1st Division, who were training in mortar fire, were protesting against their division commander, Allen.

"Yo! I really can't imagine you little devils so verbose, I just want to ask you one question now, that is, do you want to survive on the battlefield? Or die on the battlefield and die in a foreign land? ”

In response to the dissatisfaction and protest of his subordinates, the division commander Allen just disturbed his ears with his fingers and stared at everyone indifferently.

"Of course, surviving the battlefield! Commander Allen! ”

Most of the soldiers replied immediately without thinking.

"Hmmm! That's a good answer! Now listen to it! If you want to live on the battlefield, then train well and desperately, and my first division doesn't need proud soldiers like you! What I need is some real soldiers who obey orders, value their lives, and can face up to any opponent! ”

Division Commander Allen suddenly turned cold, his face was full of anger, and he scolded with cold eyes.

was scolded by him like this, and the entire training ground of the first division was silent; The silence can be heard even if the tip of the needle falls to the ground.

"If you still understand me, pack up your mortars for me now, and prepare for field training and landing exercises. Everyone is in a battle formation, waiting for the order of your company commander, ready to start training! ”

"If anyone is unwilling to train, you protest and leave the First Division forever and ever, and then you can do whatever you like! Because my first division is also not a scumbag who does not obey orders! ”

"Our 1st Division is the most powerful unit in the United States of America, and no one can afford to lose the honor of our troops! Otherwise I would never have let him go! ”

After seeing that everyone was silent, Master Allen continued to roar with a cold face.

At this scolding, the soldiers of the entire 1st Division immediately picked up their weapons, such as rifles, machine guns, rockets, and flamethrowers, as well as 60mm mortars.

Then they scrambled to board the dual-purpose landing vehicle; Drills began on the beaches around the island and in the bays.

Seeing this, the division commander Alan was satisfied and showed a knowing smile.

"Hey! Allen, this guy has a lot of ambitions! How dare you boast that your first division is the most formidable unit in our United States of America! He seems to have forgotten and asked our 3rd Division with satisfaction, and the 82nd Airborne Division agreed! ”

Just when Allen was very satisfied with the reaction of his troops, General Louis, the commander of the 3rd Division, who was standing in the distance watching their every move, shrugged his shoulders, pursed his lips, and smiled at Weber, the commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, beside him.

"Then let's train our subordinates well, kill a little more German troops, and use our strength to speak!"

The commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, Weber, said with a bright smile.

"Hey! Looks like we're both on the same page! ”

General Louis, commander of the 3rd Division, also responded confidently.

Then they both turned to look at their troops, ready to train them.

"Look at what! The Germans are not completely defeated yet! The war is not over yet, you want to be lazy for me? If you don't want to die on the battlefield, if you are sorry for your family and the motherland, give me training and train to the death! Train until you have the real strength to survive the brutal battlefield, and then tell me to rest! ”

When General Louis saw his own soldiers, staring intently at him, he suddenly roared loudly.

As soon as the words fell, all the soldiers of the 3rd Division hurriedly continued their rifle shooting training and landing combat training.

And under the strict supervision of General Louis, they were even more desperately trained than the 1st Division.

And at this time, Gotthard. Heinrich (also translated as Gothard. Heinrich also arrived on the island of Pantelleria with the Göring Panzer Division.

Gotthard. Heinrich's post-mortem comment on the Internet was: "This name may feel a little unfamiliar, because in his 40-year career as a horseman, there really are not many memorable and illustrious military records; And his name is more often in the German army's operational sequence, but as one of the few outstanding defense experts in the Wehrmacht, he once turned the tide under Moscow and saved the German Army Group Center from collapse. ”

After that, he led the 4th Army to garrison the central part of the Eastern Front for a long time, which caused a headache for many Soviet generals who fought against him. He fought tenaciously and demanded strictly, so many of his officers and soldiers loved and hated him, calling the little general "our fierce little man". ”

In this battle on Pantelleria Island, Chen Yanlong did not have the famous defense expert Moder to transfer back; Rather, this strength is second only to that of Moder, one of the defense experts, Gotthard. Heinrich, sent from the Eastern Front.

Because Chen Yanlong felt that the current Eastern Front needed a defense expert like Moder more to delay the pace of the Soviet army's offensive for him.

But Chen Yanlong didn't underestimate Gotthard at all. Heinrich's defensive strength, because he knew very well that during Heinrich's command of the 4th Army and the 1st Panzer Army, his front was often the most solid front on the Eastern Front. This alone would have made Heinrich one of the best army commanders in Germany.

As soon as he arrived on the island of Pantelleria, Gotthard. Heinrich immediately inspected the entire island, and immediately began to assign Hermann Goering's Panzer Division and the 15th Panzergrenadier Division, as well as the 16th Panzer Division to prepare fortifications for defensive positions.

And see Gotthard. When Heinrich and his German troops were digging fortifications for their defensive positions in a frenzy and with great vigor; The Italian troops stationed on the islands were very uncomfortable and could not see them.

Because the island of Pantelleria is also the territory of their Italian army, but as soon as these German troops landed on the island; Not only did he not say hello to them, but he didn't even look at them much; He immediately regarded himself as the master of the island, and came to occupy and dig fortifications for defensive positions.

so disrespectful and unvalued, and even disregardive of their own style; The officers and soldiers of the Italian troops, up and down, were angry and unhappy.

Thus Commander Gauran Wisjek, who was their greatest leader, was pushed out by the Italian officers; Reason with the German army, or it can be said to regain face, and the field.
