"What do you say! Patton's artillery unit was attacked by the Germans? ”

"Where did the Germans attack them?"

"Who was the commander of the German army?"

"How many of them came, and what about the weapons and equipment?"

"What about the casualties of Patton's artillery units now? Seriously not? ”

When Montgomery received Mandofel's German attack on Patton's troops, Eisenhower, who had just returned to his headquarters, immediately received this information from his operational staff officer, and at the same time he shouted in disbelief with round eyes and a face full of disbelief.

At the same time, a feeling of uneasiness that he had never felt before instantly enveloped his heart, making him deeply uneasy.

And Ian Held, the combat staff officer who came back from his impatient tone, looked like he was confused, and he didn't know where to answer for a while.

After a few moments, after finally digesting all of Eisenhower's questions, he began to answer them in an orderly manner.

"Report! Commander! Half an hour earlier, General Patton had ordered all the artillery units of his 7th Army and the 1st Red Division, including the rocket troops, to shell the ancient city of Modica, saying that there were German troops lurking there! ”

"He wanted to force all those German troops out, and many officers and soldiers did not agree! But under the sudden temper tantrum order, so all the artillery units obeyed the order and began shelling! ”

"Who knows, when his artillery fire is covered, not a minute has passed before he is immediately met with a frantic sneak attack by the German artillery team; The situation is still unclear and is awaiting further intelligence gathering and a debriefing from Patton's forces! ”

"As for the current strength of the German army, I don't know it for the time being, and the commander doesn't know either!"

"We will not know until the Germans launch an army offensive!"

"And the casualty report of General Patton's artillery unit has not yet been conveyed!"

Operations staff officer Ian Halder reported everything he knew to Eisenhower.

"Send me a telegram right away to Barton and Theodor Roosevelt, Omar Bradley, and Allen!"

"I want them to give me a full report on the latest battle situation within half an hour!"

"Also, let Montgomery be ready to go to the ancient city of Modica for support operations!"

"Finally, let's see if our aviation units can still send some planes to the ancient city of Modica to bomb and reconnoiter the artillery units that suddenly appeared in the German army?"

"I really can't imagine why the German army is not stationed in the important cities of Messina and Palermo, and suddenly appears in the ancient city of Modica!"

After listening to the report of Ian Held, the combat staff officer, Eisenhower gave his order with a high solemn face.

"Yes! Commander! I'll deal with it right away! ”

Operations Staff Officer Ian Hyulder was very clever this time not to say much, but immediately agreed.

And quickly withdrew and went to do what Eisenhower commanded.

Eisenhower did not take time to relax, but immediately made an urgent call to Admiral Marshall to report the matter.

"Hmmm! I also just learned about the battle situation you mentioned from the combat staff officers under my command! ”

"What do you think? White! ”

When Marshall answered Eisenhower's urgent call at his headquarters, he also asked with a solemn face.

"I've asked Montgomery to send troops to support the operation at any time, and at the same time let people see if our remaining air force can send some planes to the ancient city of Modica to bombard the German troops who suddenly appeared!"

Eisenhower replied immediately.

"But now the German Air Force, which suddenly appeared in Sicily, is still engaged in a fierce battle with our Air Force!"

"We've deployed most of our aviation to support operations, do we have any remaining air forces?"

"And I feel as if we have fallen into a trap designed by the Germans, no wonder our army can land in Sicily so easily, and through there go to the Italian mainland!"

Marshall suddenly said with a heavy heart.

"I'm worried about that, too! Especially the thing we just got about Kesselring having 60 German mechanics, I don't know if it's true or not! ”

"If Kesselring really has so many troops, then our combat troops this time will be dangerous, and they may be surrounded and severely damaged by the Germans!"

Eisenhower worried.

"So we must now pay close attention to the latest situation in the battle, as well as every move of the German army!"

"We must not take this lightly, we must win this battle, and at least we must not give the Germans a chance to succeed in their plot and inflict heavy losses on our army!"

In this regard, Marshall also said in a heavy tone.

"Yes! Sir! I get it! ”

Listening to the worried words of the old boss Sima Schel, who had single-handedly promoted his official position, Eisenhower also attached great importance to the situation of this incident.

The two of them immediately discussed how they could immediately send a group of planes to the ancient city of Modica to support Patton's troops to bomb the German troops that suddenly appeared, and to reconnoiter the total strength of the German army.
