"Oops! We were attacked by the Germans! Admiral Clark!"

Thompson, the combat staff officer of the US 5th Army, shouted at Admiral Mark Wayne Clark, who was dodging the bombing of the German Ar-234 jet bomber group, and at the same time commanding the troops in a panic around him, dodging and counterattacking.

"I'm not blind again, I see these damn Germans, and their planes!"

Admiral Clark burst into a rage.

"Oh no! Admiral Clark! Our telegraph operator has just received that the Battle of Sicily has been defeated and that our troops have been evacuated back to Tunisia! In addition, the aircraft carrier fleet led by Vice Admiral Kincaid was also heavily damaged by the new weapons and equipment of the German army! ”

At this moment, another combat staff officer ran over and reported with a panicked face and panting.

"What!"

Admiral Clark and Thompson, the combat staff officer, instantly stared in horror, and the wind became messy.

"How could this be, such a fierce battle situation, why didn't you report to me at the first time!"

Then Admiral Clark roared in a thunderous rage.

"I think the Allied headquarters in the Mediterranean seem to have forgotten about our existence, and perhaps even the Avalanche operation we are underway!"

The combat staff officer who had just arrived responded with an embarrassed expression.

"Those damn high-ups! They killed me this time! ”

Hearing this, Admiral Clark roared even more angrily.

"So are we withdrawing now? Or continue to fight? ”

Thompson, the operational staff officer, was worried.

"The Allied headquarters has forgotten about us, what are we fighting? Is it waiting for the German army, which has been prepared for a long time, to have a chance to catch them all? ”

"If you don't want to die here, just leave me!"

Admiral Clark shouted angrily.

"Yes! Admiral Clark! ”

Thompson, the operational staff officer, immediately responded.

Because at this moment, he was also very worried about General Clark, and asked him and other troops to fight to the death to block the German attack. Because the ferocious offensive of the German army is now very fierce, it completely frightened the combat staff officer Thompson.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to retreat now!"

The other combat staff officer was pessimistic with a bitter face.

"Why?"

Admiral Clark didn't want to ask in a hurry.

"Because our back road has been blocked by German troops! Unless we fight a bloody way out with the Germans, we have no way to escape! ”

The other combat staff officer pointed to the American troops who were engaged in a fierce battle with the Germans, and said in fear.

I saw that those American infantry regiments were withstanding the German machine gun group, the frantic strafing of the snipers, and the indiscriminate bombardment of the artillery, and suffered heavy casualties.

But they were still desperately trying their way to the direction of their carrier fleet moored on the beach.

"Call for the help of our carrier fleet, and we must retreat to the beach safely!"

Seeing his subordinates fighting so desperately with the Germans, Admiral Clark also anxiously gave orders to Thompson, the combat staff officer.

"Transfer a few more of the British MKIV Churchill tanks to assist our Sherman tank group and break through! Tank troops, hurry up! ”

Then Admiral Clark snarled at the other combat staff officer, as well as the officer of the tank unit not far away.

With his roar, eight Churchill tanks immediately rumbled towards the Sherman tank group, which was protecting the infantry group and engaged in a breakout battle, to assist them in the battle against Germany.

The battle was fierce, and it wasn't long before the enemy and the enemy were even so fierce that they engaged in a white-knuckle battle with bayonets or a grenade throwing battle.

However, because the carpet bombing of the German Ar-234 jet bomber group is still going on in dense turns, the casualties of the US army are definitely several times that of the German army.

In particular, the German army's armored units, heavy artillery units, and rocket artillery groups are also three times more than the US army's artillery and armored units, so under the coverage of the German army's strong firepower, the US army's counterattack and breakthrough are very weak.

In short, at this moment, the group of planes, tanks, soldiers, and artillery on the battlefield is like a hellish death scene; All the soldiers on both sides were constantly screaming, screaming, screaming, fleeing in terror, desperately desperate.

At the same time, these terrible and piercing shouts were constantly mixed with the sound of rifles, pistols, automatic weapons, and explosions from shells.

In the midst of this chaotic war, with bullets and grenades flying in the air, the German army was still mercilessly killing and pursuing the remnants of the retreating US 5th Army Group under the resolute command of Second General Weitinggov.

It's just that this battle was completely unexpected by the German and American generals, because this battle was fought for 3 days and 3 nights before it ended.

In the past few nights, the positions of both sides were lost, they were recaptured, and then they were lost again.

And on the frontline positions of both sides, the fierce fighting is also like a tide rising and retreating, retreating and rising.

And all around was corpses strewn across the field, full of cannon craters, and blazing with thick flames; Or smoky tanks and armored vehicles, and all sorts of destroyed weapons and equipment that have been dropped on the battlefield.

After the battle, the Germans suffered nearly 15,000 casualties, and the Americans also suffered more than 30,000 casualties.

Moreover, the planes of both sides also lost a lot, the German army had at least 60 aircraft, while the American army had more than 180 carrier-based aircraft.

Of course, there were also countless losses of other weapons and equipment, as well as logistical and military supplies, which really hurt the morale of the US 5th Army Group.

However, the Germans also suffered from flesh and heartache for a while, because their losses were quite a lot.

Regardless, the battle ended with a resounding victory for the Germans.

And the avalanche operation commanded by Admiral Clark also came and went quickly, and ended hastily.

It's just that in this battle, General Clark and his 5th Army Group were unexpected and surprising.

Because no one thought that the determination to fight and the will to fight that he showed in this adversity battle were also very different from the cowardly him in the original history.

Although in the end, his troops were able to complete the retreat smoothly with the assistance of the US 15th Army Group, which was hastily led by Deputy Commander Alexander; But the courage of him and his troops in battle is still something else to look at.
