A few kilometers ahead of Patton, several heavy artillery brigades, under the command of the commanders of various artillery brigades, were busily bombarding their targets, especially the buildings in the center of the ancient city of Modica, which had been caught in flames.

In the artillery positions where the US troops were waiting for them everywhere, they were densely packed with heavy artillery and artillery of various calibers, as well as rocket artillery, which had long since faded from their armor, and the muzzles of the guns were shelling frantically until the entire barrel of the guns was hot and hot.

But even with this hot spot, the American loaders quickly pushed wave after wave of shells into the breech and closed the bolt, and then the sighters quickly positioned the muzzle according to the pre-assigned elements.

Then, in a short period of time, thousands of howitzers, mortars, heavy artillery, and rocket artillery were adjusted again at the same time, and the moment the minute hand and the second hand were in a straight line, the commanders of those artillery brigades immediately gave the artillery order to their field telephone.

"Fire!"

Without receiving an order from Patton to stop the shelling, the artillery brigade commanders gave the order to shell very quickly.

"Tom, tom, tom......"

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

With the order of the brigade commanders of these artillery teams, the howitzer positions and rocket artillery positions laid on the various artillery positions; In an instant, there was a continuous sound of artillery, one howitzer after another, heavy artillery, and rocket artillery, which were also immediately fired into roaring shells; While shaking the entire earth, the thunderous sound of cannons tore through the dull earth at the same time.

Even the fierce air battles between the German Air Force and the British and American Air Forces, which were thousands of miles away, were affected a little.

Let those pilots also be distracted for a brief moment to stare at the shelling situation here.

However, since the air battle is still raging, no pilot has yet been able to take the time to come out and inspect what is going on here.

Patton stared unnaturally at his artillery position, the clusters of white smoke and the orange flames that were constantly flashing densely, fell silent.

And those cannonballs still formed an impenetrable loud bang and fell on their respective targets, carrying countless fires and thick smoke screaming through the heavens and the earth, shocking people's hearts.

Because the shelling movement of Patton's artillery unit was so huge, the whole world seemed to be being beaten frantically by the drummers, and it seemed that there were countless sledgehammers on the ground constantly beating and beating, so that the ears of the American gunners were also tense and painful.

But what made him a little frightened from the excitement of the battle was that they suddenly felt that the ground under their feet was also trembling rapidly, and the movement was as unsettling as if there was a great earthquake.

Moreover, the ancient city of Modica, which was bombarded indiscriminately by dense shells and rockets from a distance, conveyed a series of thrilling and huge explosions, which also made these American artillerymen more and more panicked.

Suddenly, when they saw that the intense heat wave was raging unscrupulously inside and outside the bombed ancient city of Modica, coupled with the fact that the ground was shaking and trembling more and more, and the explosions were getting louder and louder in their ears, and even when they could no longer hear any other sounds except the dull explosion produced by those shells bombarding the target, these American artillery and rocket artillery men were even more eager for the bombardment to end soon......

"After this shelling, if there is no trace of the Germans outside, how are you going to explain to Admiral Eisenhower and Admiral Marshall?"

Watching the shelling become more and more rapid, Theodore Roosevelt walked behind Patton with a blank face and said in a somewhat indifferent tone.

"There's nothing to worry about, at most, it's just to get rid of my official position and go back to retire!"

"As long as I can kill the Germans, even if I am asked to face death, I will not hesitate to go!"

Barton came back to his senses from the strange expression, took a deep breath, tried to control his emotions, and tried to calm down.

Because just now, when he saw his shelling inflicting casualties on the original inhabitants of the ancient city of Modica who were unwilling to leave, he was also very uneasy and wanted to stop the shelling immediately.

But his sixth sense kept telling him that if he shelled the ancient city of Modica, he would definitely find the Germans and engage them.

And he has always believed in his sixth sense, so this time he also gambled his career as an officer and acted according to his sixth sense.

But he himself knew very well that this large-scale shelling was definitely the gamble of his life.

If he loses, then he will have nothing, and if he wins, then he will find the German army he wants to find; Moreover, there are still more German troops, and they have fought with one of them and made meritorious contributions.
