Chapter 880: The Scheming Montgomery

And at this moment, Montgomery was still resting lightly after his lunch.

"Those German planes are really powerful, they actually shot down so many of our planes, and if it weren't for the quick arrival of our aviation reinforcements, I'm afraid that in the fierce air battle just now, our air force would definitely lose a lot of them!"

Montgomery lay comfortably on an exquisitely crafted lounge chair while looking at the report of the German Air Force sneak attack that was still going on in Sicily under the awning of the back garden of the large estate, and his mood did not change much.

"Oh no! Commander! ”

"Where did Patton's troops encounter a surprise attack by the German artillery in the ancient city of Modica, and now they have suffered a lot of casualties and artillery equipment, do we need to support them immediately?"

While Montgomery was patiently and earnestly browsing the air battle going on in Sicily, suddenly Major General Grunser hurried over from the telegraph room, full of men, and said in a hurry.

"Huh? German sneak attack on Patton's artillery unit? ”

"Is there really a German army lurking here? What are their troop strengths? ”

"Patton's artillery unit is quite large, why don't you fight back immediately?"

Hearing this, Montgomery's light flashed, and his eyes stared sharply at Major General Grunser, who was already a little out of breath and ran in front of him, and asked rhetorically.

Listening to Montgomery's series of rhetorical questions, Major General Grunser did not know how to answer for a while.

However, he soon reacted, and began to give them all the details of the attack on Patton's troops by the Germans.

"Barton! This idiot! ”

"How dare you bomb a city without permission? Is this the rhythm of him wanting to go to a court-martial? ”

After hearing this, Montgomery sneered.

"Then Commander, should we immediately send troops over to support him?"

"According to our intelligence, the first and second lines of defense, where Patton's artillery units are located, have been blown up by the Germans!"

"The situation does not seem to be very optimistic, and I am afraid that if we do not come to the aid immediately, I am afraid that Patton will be completely annihilated by the German artillery if he is not careful!"

Major General Grunser was worried, and his face was nervous.

"Then do you know how many troops the German artillery is coming now, and what is their total strength, and who is the commander?"

But Montgomery asked very calmly.

"This ......"

"I don't know yet, and our reconnaissance team and intelligence personnel are still investigating, but we should know soon!"

"Because once the German artillery bombardment is over, then they will definitely send army units to fight!"

"Even if those German troops do not send out the army, Patton's counterattack will definitely immediately dispatch a large number of armored troops and land forces to counterattack the German troops!"

"Being attacked by the Germans so suddenly, Patton will definitely not let those Germans go so easily!"

Major General Glenser analyzed.

"You're right, with the character of Barton's brute bull, there will definitely be revenge, and he is the master who will take revenge immediately!" "It's just that we don't know the situation of the Germans yet, so how do you think we should send troops over to support them now?"

"If I go to buy and send fewer troops, then it will not be of much help to Patton, and even send the reinforcements we sent from the past to the Germans to be slaughtered, and if we send more reinforcements, then once the Germans launch a sneak attack to attack our Messina and Palermo, the capital of Sicily, then what strength do we have to resist their sneak attack?"

"So my personal opinion is to find out first what the strength of the German army is, and who is the commander?"

"And Wang Minghai needs to wait for Barton's request for support before he can send reinforcements to support them in an orderly manner, otherwise we will be good old men in vain!"

Montgomery replied with a sly smile.

"Yes! I see, it's still the commander who thinks thoughtfully! ”

Hearing this, Major General Grunser was also stunned and agreed very much.

Then the two of them talked about some other battles, and about the air battles in Sicily, which were still going on.
