Chapter 405: Montgomery's Evacuation and Roar

Ten minutes later, a fierce naval and air battle began in the North Sea.

The other U.S. aircraft carrier fleets also encountered the German Army's I-400 series super submarine groups one after another, or the mine areas deployed by these submarine groups, and thus fell into a sudden battle.

At this time, during the Battle of Sicily, Montgomery's troops had already joined up with the ships sent by the brothers and Hewitt to rescue them, and they were also hurriedly evacuating.

At the time of the evacuation, many of the soldiers were hungry, thirsty, and tired.

Even many of the soldiers were scarred or seriously wounded and disabled.

"Bastard! These damn Germans were pinched away by them! ”

On the evacuated port, Montgomery did not leave immediately, but continued to set up bridgehead positions and defensive positions for his most elite troops on the beachhead, as well as sniper to stop the German pursuit, and roared in a violent mood.

"Don't be angry! Marshal Montgomery! If we come back again, we will definitely make these damned Germans pay a heavy price, and we will definitely not be able to forget about it for the heroic sacrifice of our troops who covered our evacuation! ”

While Montgomery was in a strange mood and cursed, Milton, the commander of the 7th Division, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"That's right! We will, we will win again, we will beat these Germans to pieces! ”

In this regard, Montgomery also met a bosom friend, and the head agreed.

"It's a pity that this time my chance was lost, and my original general plan was for our two armies to land together on the south coast of Sicily, and then quickly advance northward, dividing Sicily in half; Then establish a defensive line on the western flank, so that the main forces of our two armies could concentrate and quickly advance into Messina, and occupy it, and prevent the enemy from escaping from there back to mainland Italy! ”

"It's just that what I didn't expect was that the Germans had arranged so many elite troops to ambush us and Patton's troops on such a small number of islands, and they really calculated it!"

Before Commander Milton could respond, Montgomery continued to speak angrily.

"Yes! It's all the fault of our wretched intelligence troops, and every defeat is because of their ignorance of the German army's insufficient deployment of troops, especially the ignorance of the German army's new weapons and equipment! ”

After hearing this, the division commander Milton also shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"However, one of the reasons for our defeat in this battle is that we originally thought that we could seize the air supremacy of Sicily with the air raids of our powerful air force, and then combined with the ferocious artillery fire of our ground forces to cover the attack, those German troops would be bombed by us and would not be able to fight back."

"It's a pity, I'm too naΓ―ve, I really didn't expect that the German army would have so many new fighters, and the bombers were hidden in this Sicilian campaign and suddenly exposed."

"And they also got the Japanese pilots who didn't want to fight with their lives to attack our planes and ships!"

Montgomery said suddenly in frustration.

"The German army has hidden more combat effectiveness in this battle! They also have a large carrier fleet, as well as advanced carrier-based aircraft groups, and I think they may have hidden a lot of submarine groups that have not yet started to attack! ”

"Because of the battle, I haven't seen their submarine until now, there have been sorties! That's why I'm worried about it! ”

Division Commander Milton responded.

"It's useless to worry, we have now been defeated by the Germans and driven back to the sea! All we can do now is hope for a safe evacuation as soon as possible, and then a new battlefield to open up a new battlefield against these damned Germans and reclaim my lost victory! ”

Montgomery said.

"Yes! That's all I can do now! Because of this defeat, we have lost almost a division! And there are countless weapons and equipment such as tanks and artillery! It's really embarrassing, such a defeat reminds me of the situation of the Great Evacuation of Gokerk! ”

Division Commander Milton said in a low mood.

"By the way, how many of our paratroopers have withdrawn? And what's going on on Patton's side? Did they take it down like we did? ”

Hearing this, Montgomery suddenly changed the subject.

"Less than half of our paratroopers were able to evacuate safely, because most of the paratroopers were either killed by the Germans when they were covering our landing attack and evacuated in defeat, or they lost contact and disappeared when they landed in the air!"

"As for Patton's troops, it seems that the situation is even worse than ours, because they are facing Hitler's most elite SS units under Guderian's personal command, and they are also using a large number of new weapons and equipment, and they are supported by a large number of aviation units!"

Division Commander Milton sympathized with Patton.

"Ahh No way! ”

Hearing this answer, Montgomery was stunned for a moment and said in surprise.

"I can't believe that their opponents seem to be stronger than our German troops! So how are they doing now? Is it as bad as our loss? ”

Montgomery then continued.

"They are still fighting fiercely with the Germans, but the battle situation does not seem to be very good, they are also in the process of retreating, as for the battle damage, I don't know for the time being, but I don't think it's optimistic, I'm afraid it's not less than our casualties!"

Division Commander Milton responded.

"I don't really like that guy at Barton, but I hope he doesn't just die! May God bless them! ”

Montgomery sighed.

"Our evacuation has also been withdrawn, Marshal Montgomery, do you want to board the ship and leave?"

At this moment, the division commander Milton suddenly turned around and looked at the evacuation situation around him, and proposed.

"Oops! The German armored forces have arrived! ”

Before Montgomery could respond, suddenly an officer from a front-line position suddenly shouted in a panic.

Then Montgomery and Division Commander Milton saw the sound of the engines of a roaring tank group not far from the beach, and then more than 100 Leopard tanks gradually came into their eyes.

"These damn Germans, how come they still have so many tank groups, haven't we already destroyed quite a few of their tanks? Especially these Leopard tanks! ”

Seeing this, Montgomery roared angrily.
