Chapter 426 Raid on the 5th Army Group of the United States

According to the original history, Montgomery's 8th Army and Clark's 5th Army should have successfully met several kilometers southeast of Salerno and marched towards Naples.

Moreover, General John Lucas was also promoted to commander of the 6th Army of the United States Army two days later.

Moreover, from September 9 to October 1, in the three weeks, Clark's 5th Army received a total of 190,000 troops, 30,000 vehicles of various types, and 120,000 tons of supplies, and landed on Salerno Beach.

In addition, in addition to the original 3rd and 7th Armored Divisions, Clark's 5th Army also added units of the 34th, 35th, 46th and 56th Infantry Divisions, as well as the 82nd Airborne Division.

However, the 5th Army Group does not have so many troops now, but even so, their landing operations were still very safe and smooth under the intentional release of the German army.

When they successfully landed and began to march towards the ancient Pompeii area, these American troops, commanded by Clark's 5th Army, were not guarded by tenacious German soldiers along the way, nor were they attacked by their machine guns, mortars, or cannons.

Even tanks, armored vehicles, or transport vehicles were not seen.

As for mud, it is relatively rare.

"Have you noticed that our landing operation this time seemed easy!"

While following the army, a US soldier named Hachuls was marching with an m1 Galand semi-automatic rifle on his back and said to his comrade-in-arms beside him.

"I saw it early in the morning. I think it must be the Battle of Sicily that most of the German troops were restrained!"

Mans nodded and responded.

"Maybe! I always feel weird, I don't know something is wrong there! Because I didn't even see a German reconnaissance plane!"

Hachuls looked up at the blue sky and said in confusion.

"Hey! What's there to be afraid of! We also have an aircraft carrier fleet that stays in the Salerno Sea. As long as the Germans attack, they will definitely dispatch planes to support us!"

Mance comforted the other party optimistically.

"But the German army also has fighter jets and navy members!"

Hachuls worried.

"Since you are so scared, I suggest you go back to the Salerno Sea to be a guardian on the beach and be responsible for guarding military supplies! I hate men as cowardly as you are the ones!"

After hearing this, Mans' expression darkened and said unhappy.

"Who said I am cowardly? I am not afraid of the German army. I just worried that they would attack us and catch us off guard!"

Hachuls retorted loudly with a red face, not knowing whether it was because of shame or anger.

"Hmph! So what if the German army wants to attack us? I must have them come and go and let them know the power of our 5th Army Group! I am not a vegetarian!"

Mans retorted with a contemptuous smile.

"You are not afraid, and I am not afraid! If you really meet the German army later, then we will compete to see who killed the German army more! I will definitely be the one who is leaving you alone!"

Hachous roared loudly.

"Tsk! Just because you are such a useless coward, I'm afraid you can't kill one of the ten German soldiers!"

Mans mocked with a contemptuous smile.

"you......."

Hachul was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a moment, and stood aside with anger.

And at this moment, suddenly, the shadows of dense planes appeared above their heads.

"Hey! What's that from? Is it a flock of birds? They seem to be in a lot of them!"

At this moment, a US infantryman in front of them suddenly looked up at the sky and said in confusion.

"Idiot! Find a place to hide. It's the German plane that is coming, hurry!"

Upon hearing this, Mans also raised his head and looked up, but when he saw it, he suddenly shouted with a pale face.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

But before his words could be finished, the German Ar-234 jet bomber group was quickly penetrated over their army and bombed on a large scale.

The bombs of 500 pounds and 1,000 pounds and incendiary bombs seemed to be hail, falling densely from the sky.

After the Ar-234 jet bomber group began to attack, Wei Tingguofu's second-level general immediately commanded the army, preparing to siege and attack the sudden attack of the 5th US Army Group from both directions.

"We must never let these US troops escape. Even if we are suffering heavy casualties, we must take down these US troops and wipe them out! Fight! Warriors of the Empire!"

When the battle began, the second-level general Wei Tingguofu ordered the officers of each unit to die.

With his death order, German Leopard tank groups, together with the Tiger King tank group, rushed to the sky and the earth towards the panicked US troops who were bombed.

At the same time, behind these German tank groups is a black German infantry group.

Further down there is a large group of artillery groups and rocket launchers.
