"Commander Mandolfur! The U.S. military is ready to shell the ancient city of Modica! ”

"Shall we also line up to attack the U.S. artillery fleet? Kill them one by surprise? ”

The commander of the 505th Heavy Tank Division, von Bechwitz, immediately came to Admiral Mandolfer to report after receiving that the US army was preparing to cover the ancient city of Modica with full artillery fire.

Because his troops were arranged in the area around the ancient city of Modica, waiting for Mandolfir's order to attack the American troops at any time, when the American troops began to make big moves, he had to immediately fully grasp the movements of the other party.

"That's a must!"

"Let's wait for Patton's troops to finish covering their artillery, and immediately launch our artillery and rocket units, as well as missile units, to raid all the artillery of the US army!"

"When our armored and infantry units are engaged in a frontal battle with their large army, it is necessary to inflict heavy losses on their artillery units first!"

"Now give me an order immediately, let all the commandos lurking in the ancient city of Modica evacuate, and all the troops in the vicinity of the ancient city of Modica will also immediately withdraw to a hidden area, so as not to be discovered by the reconnaissance force of the US army!"

"In addition, send me a telegram asking Commander Kesselring to dispatch the Air Force at any time to support us in the operation!"

"At the same time, our various artillery units will immediately enter the deployment state, and we must fully grasp the coordinates of each artillery unit of the US army, so that we can aim and shoot!"

Hearing this, Mandolfil immediately did not hesitate and issued a series of orders.

"Yes! Commander! ”

The division commander von Bechwitz immediately nodded in agreement.

Von Bechwitz was originally only the commander of the 505 Heavy Tank Battalion, with the rank of captain.

However, after Chen Yanlong expanded the heavy tank battalions starting with 5 into various heavy armored divisions, he also replaced the official position of Captain von Karlowitz, the commander of the original 505 heavy tank battalion, and became the first division commander of the newly expanded 505 heavy tank division.

So for the first battle in Sicily with the 505 heavy tank division, he was also highly serious and cautious.

Because he didn't want to lose the pie-in-the-sky promotion opportunity because of his defeat, and become a low-ranking captain again.

And in order to thank Chen Yanlong for his promotion, he also wanted to show his achievements well for Chen Yanlong to see.

Mandolfer didn't react much to the polite response of the division commander von Bechwitz, but only waved his hand slightly and asked the other party to follow his orders.

He walked out of his hidden headquarters and watched through a military telescope in the distance of the ancient city of Modica, which was tens of thousands of meters away.

"It's finally time to prepare for battle, I wonder if my troops will be able to inflict heavy losses on Patton's 7th Army and Allen's 1st Red Division? Together, the two of them have more than 300,000 troops! ”

"It's also the first time I've led a unit against such a large U.S. force, and the other party is one of the elite U.S. troops!"

Mandolfil muttered to himself with a worried expression as he observed the situation in the ancient city of Modica in the distance.

At this moment, Mantofir, who was originally more experienced in combat, also seemed less confident.

Because he really had never tried to lead his troops so closely, ready to attack an enemy army with more than 300,000 troops.

Once the battle starts, whether it will be victory or defeat is still unknown to him at this moment.

At the very least, he himself did not have much confidence, and he was sure that the 7th Army could inflict heavy damage on Patton.

However, he was confident that his troops would never be surrounded or severely damaged by Patton's forces.

Because the troops that Chen Yanlong is now giving him are all elite units of the German army, and they are also equipped with a large number of new weapons and equipment, as well as artillery and rocket artillery teams.

Although his troops were not as large as Patton's, only more than 100,000 troops, even 200,000 troops were not enough.

"Tsk! When have I become so unconfident, no matter how many troops Barton has, I must defeat and inflict heavy damage on him, and complete the combat mission assigned to me by the Führer! ”

But a moment later, Mandolfil stared at him and made up his mind.

Immediately, he turned around and took his guard team to the rear artillery and rocket artillery teams to inspect and direct the preparations before the operation.
