Sicily, 4 a.m.

"Commander! How long does it take to wait before we can attack and intercept these British and American troops?"

"We have been hiding in these air raid shelters for a long time, and the British and American artillery cover and air strikes seemed to have been bombed!

Agothhard Heinrich, commander-in-chief of the German 14th Panzer Army and the 76th Panzer Army, asked irritably to Lieutenant General Heinrich Gotfried von Fitinghof Schell beside him.

"Waiting for the orders of Marshal Keseling, the Head of State is paying attention to our battle!"

Lieutenant General Heinrich Gotfried von Fitinghof Schell said seriously and seriously.

"Actually, I feel that we can kill the British and American troops directly in Sicily, or drive them out of the sea again. Why do the heads of state ask us to let them go to Italy and then counterattack and encircle and annihilate them?"

"Is it the head of state that is to make these British and American troops happy first and then give them a fatal kill?"

Ehad Rous, commander of the 14th Armored Army of the German Army, asked back in a little clarity.

Gothhard Heinrich is the cousin of Marshal Ronderstedt, second only to Model's defensive warfare expert; he participated in World War I and World War II, participated in the Battle of Maginot Line of Defense, Operation Barbarossa, commanded the commander of the 4th Army, served as the commander of the 4th Army under Marshal Gent von Kruger, and then served as the commander of the First Armored Cluster in August 1944, and in March 1945, he succeeded the leader of the SS, Himmler, as the commander of the "Viswa" Army Group, successfully resisted Zhukov's Soviet army's first wave of attacks on Berlin and accepted the order to defend Berlin to death...

At this moment, he was dispatched by Chen Yanlong to the 14th Armored Army as the commander of the 76th Armored Army; and assisted Lieutenant General Scheer to defend Sicily.

"You don't know that our head of state's jumping thinking is not something that ordinary people can understand, so we can only engage in this battle according to his ideas!"

"But I heard from Marshal Kesseling that the head of state had dispatched a large number of Scud missiles to the area of ​​Casino and Italy for defense operations, and there were also powerful bomber groups and fighter groups, as well as various fortifications, including the mountain troops of the Nordic commander General Edward Dieter, who also mobilized more than 100,000 to assist in the operation there. And now, even Marshal Rommel was dispatched by the head of state to rest and replenish supplies and troops. So once the British and American troops fight in Italy, we have a great opportunity to give them unprecedented heavy damage!"

"In particular, hundreds of thousands of reserves that British and American troops can be gathered and trained secretly in the UK, and will also be drawn out to the battlefield, so we can eliminate their future troubles in one fell swoop!"

"That is to say, as long as we can encircle and annihilate most of the British and American troops in Italy, or completely wipe out the war on the Western Front, then the war on the Western Front will fall into a very favorable situation for us!"

"On the contrary, if we cannot cause severe damage to the British and American troops in a short period of time, then the battle on the Western Front still needs to continue!"

"And our troops will continue to fall into two-line battles! If our troops cannot be concentrated, and if they are too dispersed, it will be very unfavorable to our operations."

"We fought in the battle and were defeated by Britain, the United States and France because we were trapped in the battle between the east and west. As for the consequences of the defeat, I think you have already deeply understood it!"

Lieutenant General Heinrich Gotfried von Fitinghof Schell just smiled slightly, and then continued to browse the information on the ground war situation in his hands.

“…”

"Maybe! But why is the head of state so sure that the British and American troops will carry out the Battle of Cassino?"

Gothhard Heinrich was puzzled.

"Maybe it was because of the intelligence collected by the head of state's intelligence agency! But no matter what, Casino's battle has begun now, and Kesselin is also personally directing the battle!"

"I heard that the battle situation there is also going on very fiercely now! Because this time, the British and American Air Force dispatched a lot of airborne troops to carry out airborne combat!"

Lieutenant General Sher replied.

"Okay! Then I'll take a look at the landing and progress of the British and American troops in the area where I'm responsible for!"

Gothhard Heinrich replied after a moment of silence.

"Well! Notify me of any abnormal situation so that I can make a new deployment!"

Lieutenant General Sher nodded and agreed.

"By the way, the Head of State just sent a telegram to promote you to general, congratulations!"

Gothhard Heinrich suddenly smiled and handed a telegram to Lieutenant General Sher and said with a smile.

"Oh! This..."

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Sher widened his eyes in surprise, and said with his mouth wide open without coming back to his senses.

Gothhard Heinrich smiled and immediately turned around and left to do his own military deployment.
