Anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns have always been the main anti-aircraft weapons of the German army, and they were also vigorously developed and produced by Hitler to deal with the air raids of the British and American allies.

In 1944, about 7,000 bombers were shot down by German anti-aircraft artillery groups in the British and American air forces, and almost 30,000 were damaged for repair or crashed.

Because the 88 mm anti-aircraft guns used by the German army at that time could launch almost 20-pound grenades into the air, and in less than 10 seconds, they could be shattered into almost 2,000 pieces, hitting all British and American planes within more than 200 meters.

However, although the combat power of these anti-aircraft guns is so good, if you want to hit and destroy a British and American heavy bomber, such as B-17 and B-25, and B-29 and other large bombers, then it will take about 20,000 rounds to shoot down.

Therefore, the personnel of the German anti-aircraft artillery group at that time and the air defense personnel deployed on various anti-aircraft fronts were as high as almost 2 million.

However, these are the original historical situations, and the current German army does not have so many anti-aircraft guns, because Chen Yanlong used missiles instead of these anti-aircraft artillery groups to carry out airspace air defense operations in major cities in Germany.

Moreover, in order to make it easier to detect the arrival of the British and American air forces, Chen Yanlong still deployed a large number of new radars, including day and night radars.

Moreover, at night, a large number of searchlights, grenades and flares were deployed for anti-aircraft lighting.

Because the British bomber group preferred to bomb at night, while the American army preferred to bomb during the day.

Because for the British and American forces, or for the German army, whoever can seize air supremacy will be able to have immeasurable air superiority, and will be able to save the lives of thousands of pilots and reduce the casualties of many army officers and soldiers.

At the very least, a large number of enemy military equipment and facilities, as well as weapons and equipment manufacturing factories and other important buildings behind enemy lines, can be bombed into ruins, so that the enemy's weapons and equipment will be reduced, and the factories that manufacture weapons and equipment will be reduced, and there will not even be any guarantee for the safety of food and people's lives.

However, because the new fighters and bombers exchanged by Chen Yanlong caused a lot of casualties to the British and American air forces, the British and American air forces also had a headache for this.

Just like this time, when these people were determined to fight to the death and prepare to fight to the death with the German army's advanced aircraft with numerical superiority, they were also preparing various electronic jamming technical measures to deal with the detection and search of the German army's fire control radar and the appearance of German aircraft.

However, their first round of bombing was very smooth and successful, and they did not encounter any interception and counterattack by German planes at all, let alone any German anti-aircraft artillery or anti-aircraft weapons and equipment.

In this regard, these British and American pilots of the Navy and Army Airlines, who had completed the first round of bombing missions, were all puzzled.

Why the whole of Sicily was bombed by them everywhere with patches of fire, ruins and horrible craters; But there were not half German planes and German anti-aircraft weapons and equipment on the entire island, and not even the slightest figure was found, as if the whole of Sicily was an isolated island without people.

"What is happening in Sicily that we can't have anticipated?"

"Find out right away! I want to know what the hell is going on? ”

"Why did we bomb so fiercely, but we didn't find the slightest reaction from the German and Italian troops, and even the inhabitants of the islands did not have the slightest fear reaction?"

Montgomery, who had calmed down, immediately frowned deeply, and with uneasy emotions in his heart, he ordered.

"I've already sent someone to investigate, and Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower is already aware of this, and let's not act rashly for the time being!"

And Bertramsey, who came to Montgomery's side again at this time, was also a little worried.

"So should our Airborne Forces immediately carry out airborne operations?"

Hearing this, Montgomery asked with a deep frown.

"Yes! And it is also necessary for Patton and our amphibious landing force to conduct landing operations right away! ”

Bertram Ramsey truthfully conveyed Eisenhower.

“......”

"Is this Eisenhower's order not to act rashly?"

After listening, Montgomery suddenly had black lines on his face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but thrust.

"Yes!"

Bertram Ramsay also smiled wryly.

Then the two of them fell into an awkward atmosphere, and finally Montgomery shook his head speechlessly, and then carried out the order.

Although he did not like this order very much, he also felt that it might be the best way to probe the cause of the unusual silence in Sicily under the present circumstances.

Because it is impossible to accurately obtain the situation of the German army by relying solely on the intelligence and spies of the British and American infiltrators in Sicily and within the German army, or else there would not be such a surprising situation as it is now, but they have no idea what is happening in Sicily.
