At this time, the soldiers of the 1st Division, the 3rd Division, and the 82nd Airborne Division were severely trained by their respective division commanders.

"Teacher Alan! We are just going to deal with the Italian army on Panteleria Island tomorrow. Why do we have to train so hard?"

"Yes! Those Italian troops are simply a group of mobs, vulnerable! There is no need to pay attention to them so much! Look at the soldiers of other troops are laughing and doing what they like to do!"

"Yes! Commander Alan! We have just won the Battle of Tunisia. We should give us some good rest and adjust our mood!"

"Andre is right! I support you! Commander Alan let us rest quickly! We are all very tired of training!"

A group of First Division soldiers who were training mortar shooting were protesting against their division commander Alan.

"Oh! I really didn't expect you guys to be so verbally nagging. I just want to ask you one question now, that is, do you want to survive on the battlefield? Or do you die in the battlefield or die in a foreign land?"

In response to the dissatisfied protests from his subordinates, the division commander Alan just used his fingers to disturb his ears, staring at everyone indifferently and said.

"Of course I survived on the battlefield! Commander Alan!"

Most of the soldiers answered immediately without thinking.

"Well! The answer is good! Then you guys will listen to me now! If you want to live on the battlefield, then train me hard, and my first division does not need a proud soldier like you! What I need is some real soldiers who obey orders, cherish their lives, and face any opponent!"

Commander Alan suddenly turned cold, his face was full of anger, and his eyes were cold and cursed.

When he scolded this, the entire training ground of the First Division was silent; even the tip of the needle fell to the ground in silence.

"If you still understand what I say, pack up your mortars for me immediately, prepare for field training and landing exercises. Everyone is arranged in combat formations in companies, waiting for the orders of your company captain, and ready to start training!"

"If anyone is unwilling to train, you can leave the First Division forever immediately, and then do whatever you like! Because my First Division should not act like a coward who does not obey orders!"

"Our First Division is the most powerful unit in the United States of America, and no one can lose the reputation of our unit! Otherwise, I would never let him go!"

After seeing everyone quiet, Commander Alan continued to roar with a cold face.

After being scolded like this, the soldiers of the entire First Division immediately picked up their respective weapons and equipment, such as rifles, machine guns, rockets, flamethrowers, and 60mm mortars.

Then they rushed to board the dual-purpose landing vehicle; they started a landing exercise for the beach and the bay around the island.

Seeing this, the commander Alan only felt satisfied and smiled knowingly.

"Hey! Alan is a man with a lot of ambitions! He dared to boast that his First Division is the most powerful unit in our United States of America! He seemed to have forgotten that he had not asked our 3rd Division and agreed with the 82nd Airborne Division!"

Just when Allen was very satisfied with the reaction of his troops, General Louis, the commander of the 3rd Division, who was standing in the distance watching their every move, shrugged his shoulders, curled his lips, and smiled at Weber, the commander of the 82nd Airborne Division beside him.

"Then let's train our subordinates well, kill more German troops, and speak with our strength!"

The commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, Weber, looked bright and smiled.

"Hey! It seems that we have the same idea!"

General Louis, the commander of the 3rd Division, also responded confidently.

Then they both turned around and looked at their troops, ready to train them.

"What do you think! The German guys have not been completely defeated yet! The war is not over yet, so you want to be lazy. If you don't want to die in the battlefield, I'm sorry for your family and motherland, train me and train to death! We will train until you have real strength and can survive on the cruel battlefield before giving me a rest!"

General Louis roared loudly when he saw his soldiers staring at him intently.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the soldiers of the 3rd Division hurriedly continued their rifle shooting training and landing combat training.

Moreover, under General Louis' strict supervision, they were even more desperately trained than the 1st Division.

At this time, Gothard Heinrich (also translated as Gothard Heinrich) also arrived at Pantelleria Island with the Goring Armored Division.

Gothard Heinrich's comment on the Internet in later generations was: "This name may feel a little strange because there are indeed not many memorable and prominent war experiences in his 40-year military career; and his name is more often found in the German combat sequence list, but as a few outstanding defense experts in the German Wehrmacht army, he once turned the tide at the city of Moscow and saved the German Central Army from collapse."

"Since then, he led the 4th Army to be stationed in the central part of the Eastern Front for a long time, which caused a headache for many Soviet generals who were facing him. He fought tenaciously and strictly demanded, so many of his officers and soldiers loved and hated him, calling the small general "our fierce little dwarf."

During this battle in Pantelleria, Chen Yanlong did not send back the famous defense expert, Model; instead, Gothard Heinrich, one of the defense experts who was second only to Model, to be dispatched from the Eastern Front.

Because Chen Yanlong felt that the current Eastern Front needed more defense experts like Model to delay the Soviet army's offensive pace.

However, Chen Yanlong did not underestimate Gothard Heinrich's defensive strength at all, because he knew very clearly that during Heinrich's command of the 4th Army and the 1st Armored Army, his front line was often the most stable front line on the Eastern Front. This alone could also allow Heinrich to squeeze into the ranks of the best army commanders of the German army.

As soon as he arrived at Pantelleria Island, Gothard Heinrich immediately inspected the entire island, and then he immediately began to assign the fortifications of the Hermann Goring Paratrooper Armored Division, the 15th Armored Grenadier Division, and the 16th Armored Division to prepare for the defense positions.

When he saw Gothard Heinrich and his German troops digging fortifications in a defensive position, the Italian troops stationed on the island felt very uncomfortable and could not see it.

Because Pantelleria is the territory of their Italian army, but as soon as these German troops arrived on the island, they not only did not say hello to them, but they didn't even look at them at all. They immediately regarded themselves as the owner of the island to occupy and excavate the fortifications of the defensive positions.

The officers and soldiers of the Italian troops were so angry and unhappy about the German army, and they even ignored their own style.

So Commander Golan Visjek, their biggest leader, was pushed out by many Italian officers to seek justice for the German army, or it could be said that he would regain face and make the Italian army.
