When the wind gradually weakened and gradually calmed down, the fleet of Montgomery was in a fleet under Hewitt's command, and had successfully arrived at their predetermined landing anchorage position, allowing the fleets to quietly occupy the waters outside Sicily where they were responsible.

We are also preparing to wait for the air force to bomb and the airborne troops to complete the airborne force to carry out amphibious landing operations immediately.

Therefore, the sailors of each fleet gathered on the main deck or crowded bridges, and waited for battle and then dropped the submarines for amphibious landing operations.

However, at this moment, they did not notice or see any lights or bright lights on Sicily, just as if there was no one on the island, they were silent and silent.

"Why is it so quiet! Are the Italian troops and German troops going there?"

"Yes! The whole island of Sicily seems to be trapped in endless darkness, and there is a large area of ​​darkness that cannot be seen clearly!"

"Those German Italian troops have fled Sicily, right?"

"It shouldn't be! They defeated us in the last battle of Sicily! Why did they escape from Sicily as victors?"

"Did they set a trap for us on the island, waiting for us to go up and then ambush us? Just like the last time?"

"This situation is very likely! Because these German troops are very cunning and insidious, otherwise they would not have had a blitzkrieg against Poland, Belgium, the Soviet army and other countries!"

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so afraid of the Germans? Did they be afraid of the last battle of Sicily?"

"Who is afraid of those damn German troops! We are here this time to avenge our previous shame!"

"Yes! We came here late at night to annihilate all the German troops on the island, for the brothers who died in the last battle!"

"Tsk! I said you are all making noises! Now we have not received General Patton's offensive orders, so why don't we eat and drink now, or check the actual situation of our weapons, equipment and ammunition!"

"Potter is right! We must leave our best state for the amphibious landing operation that will be used later. We must also check our equipment immediately when the war has not started yet to start, to prevent any failure of the ammunition or weapons and equipment when the landing operation is late!"

However, while the US and British troops were waiting, they were also clamoring.

However, all the officers responsible for leading the team to remain silent and even joined their heated debate to argue.

For a time, many transport ships were excited by such noisy scenes. As for the bomber groups that were preparing to bomb Sicily, they took off one by one under the instructions of the aircraft carrier's logistics personnel and command personnel.

Between the lights of the planes flashed, one after another of the Curtis SB2C dive bombers took off, and behind them there were one after another to escort.

At the same time, in the rear of the British and American aircraft carrier fleets, there were batches of Lancaster bombers, mosquito bombers, and B-25 bombers arrived at the airspace of Sicily under the escort of the P-51 Mustang fighter fleet. At the end of these fleets was a large number of transport aircraft transporting airborne troops.

Of course, the acceleration performance is good, the firepower is strong, the climb is fast, the sturdy and durable F4U fighter fleet, and the F6F shrew fighter fleet are also constantly taking off on various aircraft carriers to participate in escort battles.

Although they have not discovered any German ships or aircraft carrier fleets near Sicily at this moment, the British and American aircraft carrier fleets have taken preemptive attack operations first

The entire parachute troops of the 1st Airborne Army, assigned to Montgomery, and the gliding troops were also ready to go and pray for their victory in the airborne battle later.

However, no matter how the British and American aircraft carrier fleets or the flight forces are tested and approached.

The entire Sicily, which was shrouded in darkness, still had no movement of German air defense weapons and equipment, nor did there be any searchlights. The lights and tracer bombs appeared. As for the German planes, there was not even a shadow, as if all the German troops had evacuated Sicily, and there was a dead silence.

And Hewitt, Cunningham, Montgomery and Patton were also alert to such surprise and abnormal movements.
