Chapter 352 The surprise of Eisenhower and Deputy Commander Alexander

"Not good! It's the German carrier-based aircraft group, and they have begun to launch a second wave of attacks on us!"

"Hey! What kind of carrier-based aircraft is that? Why have I never seen it before?"

"Don't look, please inform Major General Theobord and other officers! Send carrier-based aircraft to fight immediately!"

"All naval guns are ready to attack, and it is absolutely impossible to bring German carrier-based aircraft and bombers closer to our fleet and bomb!"

Faced with the German second sudden attack on the carrier-based aircraft, all the US reconnaissance personnel immediately burst into tears in fear.

At the same time, all US warships were also hurriedly preparing for counterattack, aiming all anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and large-caliber naval guns at the German army's fierce new carrier-based F-8D carrier-based aircraft group, as well as the more than 100 Ar234 jet bombers group that followed.

However, the pilots of these ar234 jet bomber groups were all German troops, but pilots from German minion countries, and German pilots.

Seeing this, the US military also hurriedly dispatched more than 300 f4f wildcat fighters, f4u pirate fighters, and f6f shrew Hellcat fighters.

In general, Major General Theobord has sent out all the new carrier-based aircraft groups he has on hand to fully face the fierce carrier-based aircraft groups and bombers that are coming from the German army.

Of course, for the sake of safety, Major General Theobord also sent all the remaining P-40 fighters, B-25b bombers, P2a-3 fighters, SB2-u3 reconnaissance-bombers, SBD-2 fearless dive bombers and other aircraft to assist in the operation.

When Marshal Hithofen saw that the US military was not willing to be outdone and attacked all the carrier-based aircraft and bombers, he did not hesitate to send all the carrier-based aircraft and bombers of his aircraft carrier fleet out without hesitation.

At the same time, he ordered his own aircraft carrier fleet to approach the US fleet in full and conduct ship wars.

Of course, even the submarine troops that had been lurking under the sea quickly launched a battle.

So a relatively large-scale naval battle started in the Mediterranean Sea; whether it was a lurking battle, a battleship or a carrier-based aircraft battle, it was in full swing.

The intensity and casualties of this battle actually exceeded the estimates of both parties and unexpectedly.

However, for Marshal Hithofen, who was determined to fight to the death, no matter what the casualties on his side, he had to let himself finally own and form an aircraft carrier fleet, and gain rich practical experience through this battle.

"Don't be afraid of the children, fight bravely and fight back quickly! Let these US troops know that our German navy is not vegetarian either!"

Seeing the increasingly fierce battle, Marshal Hithofen was also excitedly standing in the command room of his Midway aircraft carrier, shouting vigorously.

Although no pilot responded to him during the fierce battle, the German pilots who heard his yelling sound on the radio fought desperately with greater enthusiasm.

Even the pilots of the Servant Kingdom fought wildly without being outdone.

When this naval battle broke out, Eisenhower had already arrived at Pantelleria Island in person by transport plane for front-line supervision and command and deployment.

The reason why he suddenly ran from the rear to the front line to command the battle was because the landing troops in Sicily were being attacked by the German army, and many soldiers and equipment had been killed and killed.

So he was anxious and wanted to know the real situation of the front line now, so he rushed to the front line in person regardless of this.

If it weren't for his combat staff and Alexander, the deputy commander-in-chief of the British and American Allied Forces, who desperately stopped him from going to the Sicily front to observe the situation, he might have come to the British and American fleets outside Sicily to supervise the battle.

"What is the current situation? Have the troops in Sicily landed successfully? Have they launched a counterattack against the German army? We will never be defeated by the German army in this landing battle! Otherwise, the morale of our British and American allies, and even the global anti-fascist morale, will be severely hit!"

"We cannot bear these blows for many times. Let me report them comprehensively and carefully! I must grasp all the situations on the front line!"

As soon as he arrived at Pantelleria Island, Eisenhower immediately said anxiously to Alexander, a group of combat staff and officers in the combat command room near the airport.

"The situation on the front line is being summarized, and it will be known clearly soon!"

"Report! The battle situation on the front line has come out. Now the German troops are evacuating because of our air force's counterattack and the artillery bombardment of the fleet!"

"In addition, the new weapons and equipment used by the German army just now were the rockets that had been bombed by our air force in Berlin, as well as the new fighter fleet that we had never seen before!"

"General Montgomery and General Patton just sent a telegram to ask whether they should continue to advance or temporarily stop the attack? Because the landing sites on both sides were attacked by German troops one after another! Although many German troops have been evacuated quickly now, a small number of German troops still occupy the Italian defensive positions in their respective beachhead positions to resist!"

"In particular, our 45th Division is now fighting fiercely with a division of German troops! They ask us to dispatch air support!"

"In the end, although hundreds of paratroopers were killed, died, injured and captured in the airborne! Most of the paratroopers were successfully airborne and fought behind enemy lines in Sicily, deteriorating and covering the advance of landing troops to fight!"

As Eisenhower roared anxiously, one combatant after another soon reported with fresh telegrams.

Regarding these telegram content, Eisenhower and Alexander, a group of high-level commanders in the rear listened attentively and attached great importance to it.

"In addition, we have also been engaged in a naval fleet that has dispatched President Roosevelt to assist Major General Theoborde in the past to carry out the naval fleet that dealt with the mysterious aircraft carrier fleet of the German army, and have also fought fiercely with the German navy."

"In addition! Our radar system also discovered that there were more than a thousand planes flying towards Sicily from Italy, with a speed of ten. It is expected that in less than half an hour, we can reach Sicily's airspace in less than half an hour!"

Just as all the British and American officers were listening carefully to the battle reports that were useful to them, a tall combat staff member suddenly reported two important battle situations.

"What!"
