"Shulder? Why did you suddenly come to me? Aren't you on the second line of defense? You're not here to argue with me, right!"

General Paul Conrat, the division commander, was puzzled.

"No! The US military is about to arrive at my place, so I came to Commander Heinrich to get new weapons and equipment for trial! So come and visit you!"

The commander Shuld shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"New weapons? What kind of weapons are they!"

When the division commander General Paul Conrat heard this, he immediately became energetic and said.

"It is the Rambo guns given by the Head of State - the M607.62mm universal machine gun, akm assault rifle, as well as RPG-740 bazooka, and BM21 rocket launcher!"

The commander Schulder replied in a somewhat show-off tone.

"How can you have these new weapons and equipment? Most of my troops are using old-style weapons and equipment! I also want to find Commander Heinrich to ask for new weapons and equipment!"

After hearing this, General Paul Conrat, the division commander, shouted without any pleasure.

"It's as much as you like! Anyway, I'll leave first, and I'll guard the second line of defense! And I'm also interested in knowing the power of these new weapons and equipment given to me by the Head of State!"

The commander Shuld said with a smug smile.

After saying that, he had not yet waited for the retort of General Paul Conrat, the division commander, to whistle and shouted loudly; he waved away happily and show-offly without looking back.

"Damn it! You guy is really here to show off and show off to me! The SS is really a bastard who loves to show off!"

General Paul Conrat, the division commander, angrily gritted his teeth.

After scolding, he hurriedly left his position tomorrow and ran to the headquarters to find Commander Heinrich to ask for new weapons and equipment.

At this time, in the dark Mediterranean bottom, 45 U-shaped submarines were driving towards the closer and closer Panteleria Island at a speed of 17 nautical miles per hour.

In this submarine force, the submarines were sailing while observing the radar very carefully.

Because the U-shaped submarines in 1943 were equipped with new electronic equipment, which was even more advanced than the previous "Biska Cross".

Moreover, many of the submarine troops dispatched this time are new "Walter" submarines, which are a new submarine powered by fuel turbines, with an underwater speed of 23 nautical miles per hour.

Moreover, each submarine is equipped with a "T-5" electric and self-guided torpedo, with a range of 594 meters and a maximum speed of 25 nautical miles per hour.

At the same time, their submarine towers are also equipped with protective substances to interfere with radar detection.

And the air defense weapons on the submarine have been greatly strengthened.

"From the north, 5,000, enemy destroyers and more than 20 ships were found!"

Fifteen minutes later, the captain of the pilot submarine suddenly used it to send information reports to each submarine.

As the report was accepted, the captains immediately ordered to enter combat immediately.

And on the water surface of these submarine troops, a small group of black shadows appeared and disappeared not far away with the waves.

These submarine units include Woodpecker submarine flocks, Ballad submarine flocks, and Thrush submarine flocks.

The Woodpecker Submarine Flock and the Swallow Ball submarine Flock are both submarine groups with more practical experience, while the Thrush submarine flock is composed of 13 new submarines and inexperienced sailors.

In order not to be discovered immediately by the enemy, these submarine troops are all diving below 250 meters.

Moreover, they must listen to all directions and look at each other; they must use radar alarms to guard against enemy aircraft in the sky, and also guard against enemy ships on the sea where they suddenly discovered their traces.

In addition, they should pay close attention to whether there are deep-water bombs or bomb explosions in the distance; whether the sonar detectors of enemy ships and their spirals will be noisy and alarm the enemy ships.

Moreover, the large oil transport submarine "Ducky Cow" that refueled these German submarine forces slowly followed them far behind.

After a short period of careful observation, after confirming that the US fleet did not have the beeping sound of submarine detectors, all submarines began to rise slowly by 50 meters.

"All submarine troops obey orders and continue to maintain a depth of 200 meters, while also preparing for attacks by deep-water bombs!"

"Discover enemy destroyers and cruisers at 35 north and 15 west!"

"All torpedo tubes are ready to be launched!"

At this time, the commander-in-chief Heidelsch, who was ordered by Denitz to command these three submarine units to fight, was giving various attack orders in the command room inside the submarine U-230 with a bright look.

"All torpedo tubes are in place! Sir!"

Not long afterwards, all the submarines that completed their preparations before the attack kept repeating this answer.

"Okay, then everyone can tell you the approximate location of the other enemy ships now; there are only three enemy ships in the north latitude 35 and longitude 11 in the west, and the attack is carried out by the Thrush submarine group."

"North latitude 35, longitude 28, longitude 60, there are 9 enemy ships! The submarine group of Yan Ba ​​Ge is responsible for the attack!"

"All the remaining enemy ships are our Woodpecker submarines, responsible for the annihilation war!"

When all submarines were ready for the attack, Captain Heidelch continued to issue various combat orders.

"Yes! Sir!"

Upon hearing this, all the submarine fleets answered quickly.

While the Germans were carrying out these pre-war attacks, the British and American fleets on the sea had just stopped shelling Pantelleria Island.

"Hey! Lund! Look at the effect of our shelling is also good! The anti-aircraft gun positions on Pantelleria Island, which the Italian army occupied, have been bombed by us!"

"Captain THAAD! Although we have the assistance of the Air Force, our British Empire's navy is still stronger than them!"

Naval officer Lieutenant Lund quickly agreed with a smile.

"That's of course! You didn't see most of the air force being shot down by the Italian army's shore-based artillery and anti-aircraft artillery groups, and they even ran away in a panic! Hahaha!"

Captain THAAD immediately laughed in a good mood after accepting the other party's flattery words.

"By the way! Captain! Why don't we destroy all the remaining enemy anti-aircraft artillery groups while the Italian army's air defense system collapses?"

Naval officer Lieutenant Lund asked in confusion.

"It's very simple! Haven't you seen that our army troops have landed successfully? Then the rest can only be left to them to deal with. Anyway, we are only responsible for providing long-range fire support to the army troops! There is no need to let our Marines, or our navies, land and fight, and capture this small island!"

Captain THAAD stood in the command tower of his battleship, and said with joy.

"Then we will just park on this sea surface and do nothing anymore? If so, how can we get more records and get promoted and make a fortune?"

Naval officer Lieutenant Lund said unwillingly, and said depressedly.

"I have no choice about this issue! I am just a small officer, not a nobleman! I will obey the orders of the superiors!"

Captain THAAD shrugged without caring.

"Hey! Now we can only do this! The first level of official position will crush people to death!"

Second Lieutenant Lund responded with a sigh of frustration.

"Hey! Don't be discouraged! You haven't heard the landing forces of the US military just now, aren't they yelling about the enemy infantry on the island, not the Italian army, but the German army?"

Captain THAAD said with a flashing eyes and a smile.

"They seem to be clamoring like this, but what if there are German troops on the island? We have so many troops, and there are even larger troops behind us, observing our every move! If something happens to us, our large troops will definitely come here to retaliate against the German troops for us!"

Lieutenant Lund said with firm eyes and unbelievable confidence.

"Or! In short, we will treat it as halftime, let's relax our nerves and moods! Otherwise, if we receive the order for a large-scale attack, we will not have time to rest; and we don't know what our final fate will be after fighting again?"
Chapter completed!
