Chapter 864 What is Patton doing with his troops now?

At this time, Montgomery was eating breakfast and drinking morning tea in a scenic olive round by the Messina Sea.

"We must not let the German army choose the battlefield on their own. We must not be led by the German army at will again as before. We must do the opposite. We must regain the initiative in combat. We must let the German army return to the combat plan we have formulated, and then give a complete annihilation in the combat plan we have prepared!"

After Montgomery drank five steaming coffee, a fat and juicy steak, and some other Western meals, Montgomery wiped her mouth with a napkin, staring at Major General Glenser in the seat opposite him with a sharp look.

Major General Alfred M. Glenther was the chief of staff of the Fifth Army, who was previously commanded by Lieutenant General Mark W. Clark, but now he was dispatched by Eisenhower and Marshall to Montgomery's 13th and 30th Army, as well as the troops of the 1st Airborne Brigade of England.

"But now, except for the less than one German company we encountered, we have encountered, we have not found half of the German army at all. So how can we counterattack the German army?"

After hearing Montgomery's words, he stared at Montgomery's favorite parrot and canary, and said cautiously.

"Are you not General Alexander and Liqiwei's troops fighting with the Germans in Italy now? So my personal suggestion is that we should now prepare our troops to join this increasingly fierce battle!"

"As long as we join the battle, I have 100% confidence that all Italian troops can be defeated and defeated by us in more than a month, and even Italy surrenders and withdraws from the battlefield!"

"Then the Germans will be left alone to fight. In other words, with the lack of support from allies, their combat effectiveness and fighting will will definitely be greatly affected. Even if they will persist in fighting, we will gradually divide and surround them and then wipe them out!"

Montgomery took another sip of coffee and said happily with indifferent smile.

At this time, the gentle breeze was mixed with the salty sea breeze, and under the warm sunshine, it slowly blew over, making Montgomery happy both physically and mentally.

Moreover, at this moment, more than 600 ships of the British and American fleets were crowded in various ports in Messina, connecting the European continent to land troops.

One by one, one amphibious military vehicles and landing craft were also carried by an energetic British and American officers and soldiers, constantly transported to the Italian mainland for the front line to support Alexander.

While the landing of these support troops, more than 800 105mm cannons were also performing spectacular performances of instant volleys and roars on various hillsides of Messina, as they were celebrating the successful landing of the British and American troops and the happy record of occupying Messina for more than two days.

The British Royal Navy ships and fleets were also free of obstacles and unstoppable Zen land, entering and leaving the various straits and ports of Messina at will, as if they were entering a no-man.

Even Montgomery is now sending several royal frigates to patrol the nearby sea on the sea outside the olive rounds with coffee and refreshments in his spare time.

"But now the battle between Cassino and the Winter Defense Line is going on very fiercely!"

"I heard that Keselin didn't know that a large number of German troops gathered above, including some elite troops of the SS, were also dispatched to ambush the outside troops and ambush the troops!"

"For this reason, the troops commanded by General Alexander and General Li Qiwei were also suffering a lot of casualties, and they are still clamoring for reinforcements!"

"In particular, a large number of air forces are required to support the operations, because the German air forces on the battlefield there are particularly strong and numerous!"

Major General Glenther said.

"But the German army has dispatched a large number of air troops to the sky over Sicily to fight the air troops outside?"

Upon hearing this, Montgomery said with confusion.

"Yes! So this is very strange. Is the German air force showing much more than the imagined neutral intelligence outside?"

"But why did the German aircraft fleet just fight our air force and not bomb our troops, especially Messina where we are now, and Palermo, the capital of Sicily, where your 13th Army troops are stationed, was not affected by any air strikes!"

Major General Glenther also puzzled.

"Because our air force is still fighting to the death, they have not killed our air force, so there is no way to bomb our army!"

"Why do I still have time to eat here now?"

Montgomery was not worried at all thinking.

"is that so?"

Major General Glenser's mouth twitched, not very well-channel.

"Of course!"

Montgomery responded affirmatively.

"By the way! What are that bastard Patton doing with his troops now? Why didn't I see them appearing in Palermo, or Messina?"

But soon he changed the subject.
