"Marshal Kesselring! The Anglo-American aircraft carrier fleet and aviation are attacking Sicily! ”

When Britain and the United States were conducting an amphibious landing operation in Sicily, the operational staff officer Yarman also came to Kesselring and reported to him.

"How many troops are coming? And the air force? ”

Kesselring asked Yarman, the combat staff officer, as he looked at the telegram of the battle situation on the Cassino front.

"According to the detection of front-line spies, there are at least hundreds of thousands of troops, and as for the air force, there are more than 1,000 aircraft, and tens of thousands of airborne troops!"

Operational Staff Officer Yarman replied.

"Hmmm! I really didn't expect that the British and American troops still had so many troops, and I thought that after they had experienced several fiascos, they should have a great shortage of weapons and equipment such as troops and fleets, and it seems that we have all underestimated the British and American replenishment forces and logistics supply capabilities! ”

Kesselring frowned and said solemnly.

"So what do we do next? Fight back now, or continue to lurk and evacuate our troops? ”

Operations Staff Officer Yarman continued.

"Let's wait until the British and American troops have landed and lead them to those bomb areas we have planted on Sicily, and then detonate them to see what happens!"

"Anyway, the order given to us by the Führer is to inflict heavy losses on the British and American troops in Italy itself, especially in the area of Cassino!"

"As for the operational policy in Sicily, it is still in accordance with the Führer's will to try to deplete the living forces of the British and American forces by ambush warfare and defensive warfare, and this time the operational commander Führer intends to form the 14th Panzer Corps, the 76th Panzer Corps, and the newly formed 2nd Airborne Division under the command of Lieutenant General Heinrich Gottfried von Fitzhof Schell, to form the 10th Army, as well as two infantry divisions drawn from the troops of the Northern European commander, Admiral Edward Dieter, to conduct defensive operations together."

"So the defensive operations and mountain warfare in Sicily, I am not worried at all!"

"And when the British and American forces attacked again, we had also built a lot of underground bomb shelters in Sicily to hide our troops, so no matter how the British and American air forces and naval guns bombed, there was no way to injure or kill the officers and soldiers of our troops!"

"So now we need to guard against and ambush those British and American paratroopers who are about to successfully land in the air, as well as the officers and soldiers who are about to carry out amphibious landings!"

Kesselring calmly agreed.

"But in doing so, I feel as if we're very passive, and I'm worried that something unexpected will happen! Marshal Kesselring! ”

After hearing this, Combat Staff Officer Yarman was still a little worried.

"What are you worried about?"

Kesselring asked curiously.

"I fear that if the British and American forces are allowed to occupy Sicily smoothly, and enter the Italian mainland through Sicily, there will be an unexpected situation for our deployment!"

"Because the British and American forces have more troops than us, especially their backup forces!"

"And now the Soviet army on the Eastern Front is also launching a large-scale counterattack war, so I am worried that under such a situation on both fronts of the Eastern Front, our situation, strength, and supply situation will be very weak!"

Operations Staff Officer Yarman replied very honestly.

"Hmmm! Rommel has returned to mainland France with his troops from the English Channel, and is already working on the construction of a French defensive front, and if there is an unexpected situation, then his troops will go to Italy to support us in the war! ”

"So we have to let go a little bit in Italy, inflict a heavy blow on the British and American troops, first let them see hope, and then give them despair!"

Kesselring smiled.

"Yes! Marshal! ”

After listening to Kesselring's confident words, Combat Staff Officer Yarman also let go of the uneasiness in his heart and said with a reassuring smile.

They then continued to talk about the situation on the front in Sicily and the timing of the counterattack.
