Chapter 977: Preparing for the Attack

"All ships inspect equipment and weapons, and all personnel are ready for battle."

In the early morning of 1 July, at the deep-water dock outside Port Said, Xu Fei's voice on the intercom made hundreds of warships of the two fleets start to get busy.

"The equipment of the Kunpeng is normal, the Bilang anti-ship missile is loaded for 30 and there is no abnormality in the test, the Bilang anti-aircraft missile is loaded 80 and there is no abnormality in the test, and the Bilang anti-submarine missile is loaded for 20 and there is no abnormality in the test;

The number of radars is normal, the main and secondary guns are normal, the armor protection is normal, the engines and propulsion systems are normal, and the number of ammunition in stock is consistent with the records," the Kunpeng Equipment Management Department, which has an automated detection system, replied first.

Immediately after that, the Carrier Equipment Management Department, which had already started the warm-up, reported:

"The radar propulsion system of the Baodao equipment is normal, the deck armor is not abnormal, the electromagnetic catapult is correct, the air finger system is not abnormal, the carrier-based aircraft on the deck and in the warehouse have been detected, and the early warning aircraft and various types of fighters are in good condition."

"Zhongyu-2 Type 01 missile cruiser, all equipment parameters are normal, there is no abnormality in the shipborne missile test 0304010 equipment is normal." Ten large missile cruisers in the task force also reported the results shortly.

Next came the reports of more missile destroyers and the First Mixed Fleet, Xu Fei sat in his hanger-type mechanical seat and listened carefully;

This time, he led the fleet to attack, and he would not turn around and return to port, and the follow-up ammunition replenishment would rely on the huge replenishment transport ships accompanying the fleet, and the follow-up replenishment would require continuous transportation to Port Said. Then the fleet of front-line operations is supplemented by transport ships.

Xu Fei's Kunlun-class ship has only such a ship, and the factory on it can meet the needs of the entire task force for three months, but it usually guarantees the operation of one warship of the Kunlun. The rest of the warships relied on transport ships for replenishment.

After inspecting all the warships, the task force and the 1st Mixed Fleet began to leave Port Said at night, the destination of the two fleets was different, the task force would only leave Port Said a hundred nautical miles away, waiting for the arrival of the Allied fleet in that deep water, and the destination of the 1st Mixed Fleet was the Turkish port of Rhodes, near Greece.

The order of the 1st Mixed Fleet was to wait for the notification as soon as the Allied follow-up forces were all in North Africa. Then they can attack along the northern part of the Mediterranean, and it will not be easy to wipe out all the coastal ports and ships in a moment and a half.

It was about to enter dawn, and the most important thing about the battle situation at this time was definitely not the task force and the Allied fleet, which were more than 400 nautical miles away. At this very moment, both Churchill and Truman, at the highest echelons of the Allied forces, were waiting for news in the British command;

In contrast, the Allied High Command, who had already arrived in Libya by plane, was also very concerned, especially Eisenhower, as the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, stayed up almost all night to keep in touch with the front line.

Eisenhower did not complete the war against Germany as it normally would, although theoretically it was Soviet Russia who defeated Berlin in Germany and forced the Greek madman to make the German army admit defeat. But in fact, there was no Allied existence, and Soviet Russia was a dish for the Germans.

But after history was forcibly reversed by Xu Fei. Germany has continued to hold on, and even Greek madmen are now alive and well in recovering cities all over Germany;

Eisenhower originally wanted to take Germany completely, but he did not expect that Truman, who was at home, would betray the Globe Group, which had always supported the United States, and eventually caused the financial collapse of the Allied countries;

As a soldier, he didn't want to interfere in politics, but this political incident involved finance and the military, and he had to secretly curse this standard of 255 that Roosevelt had selected several times a day.

The so-called failure to do the right thing will destroy the domestic economic market, and now the military salary issued by the army does not dare to use currency that can be given to one cart at a time, and the tens of millions of troops in the United States now all use grain as military salary. The full monthly amount is distributed to the homes of the soldiers, otherwise these soldiers would have rioted and had no combat effectiveness by now.

In Delna. In addition to Eisenhower, the commander of the First Army of the United States arrived at the same time. Admiral Holt, Commander of the Third Army, George W. Barton;

Commander of the Twelfth Army, Omar. Admiral Bradley, the new commander of the 2nd North African Theater of Operations, Karl Brown. General Sparta, commander of the 15th Army, Mark Brown. Admiral Clark, commander of the Sixth Army, Admiral Walter Across the Road;

The commanders of the rest of the armies of the Mi army are not on the sea, most of them are on the railway, and now there are only a dozen armies and more than 800,000 people who have arrived here, and they are now building advanced fortifications on the high ground along the way.

The British and other Allied high-ranking officials also arrived by plane, but the British first war general, Montgomery, was now captured by the exterminating Japanese and was now helping to build the later coastal highway in Saudi Arabia, so this time the only supreme commander was Arthur, who was in charge of coordinating the British flying forces. Admiral Harris;

Australia, which is already equivalent to the destruction of the country, also has a general, and that is Thomas who is in charge of commanding the Australian Army units. Bremen, but now there are only troops left in Australia, and the people evacuated in the early stage have gone to Britain and Canada respectively, and even the government has only a dozen people in Canada;

As for the other countries, they all sent troops of varying numbers, but none of the top leaders arrived, like Poland, which still does not know the reason for the sudden withdrawal of Mi Ying from Germany, and they have no troops on the southern front, at this time the whole army is still in Poland to assist the Soviet Russian army to launch a powerful offensive against the German army.

After arriving at the provisional headquarters, Eisenhower ordered his troops to begin their defenses, and the subsequent transport ships unloaded and unloaded troops from a dozen ports almost non-stop, and he had to take a break from the busy mobilization of troops to focus on the upcoming decisive battle in Egypt.

"Commander-in-Chief, why don't we just rush up and kill those yellow-skinned monkeys? I can command the armored group to penetrate their defenses directly from the Egyptian desert, and a few million people can't defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Japanese army? ”

At the headquarters, he got up early in the morning with a cigar in his mouth and scolded Eisenhower, that is, the rogue general of the Mi army, George. Admiral Patton.

This guy would have burped in a car accident a few months after the end of the war, but he has always been arrogant and rude, and this kind of general is not uncommon in the rice army;

Eisenhower's tolerance for such a strong subordinate who has a personality and fights is also very great, he rubbed his brain, which has had a headache in the past few days, and said:

"George, let you see more information about the Middle East campaign and the ongoing defense of Soviet Russia, don't you see something from above?" (To be continued......)
