"For the time being, there is no latest information yet!"

Chief of Staff Adelaine said with a little hesitation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's accurate to ask the intelligence services for information! Otherwise, we will be in great trouble for this landing operation! ”

Eisenhower looked at the other party's uncertain and confident appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He then gave several orders to Chief of Staff Adelaini and other personnel......

At this time, the paratroopers of the 1st Airborne Division of the British Army and the 82nd Airborne Division of the US Army had boarded the plane one after another at night and went to the skies over Sicily to prepare for airborne operations.

In the night sky, where the moon has just emerged, there is a cool breeze with winds of 35 miles per hour.

A large group of C-47 transport aircraft, as well as Albimars-type aircraft, are training to fly.

In addition, more than 1,000 transport planes towed more than 400 gliders, escorted by more than 1,300 fighters, followed behind.

The scene is very imposing and spectacular.

The U.S. 82nd Airborne Division was the first U.S. airborne force, and its predecessor was the 82nd Infantry Division.

In 1942, the division commander was Major General Blaired, and the current division commander is Ridgway, the future famous American general, who is now being assigned by Eisenhower to command the division in the first large-scale night airborne operation in the history of the American army, which is now the night airborne battle in Sicily.

Now the division has a total of 3 regiments, namely the 504, 505, and 508 regiments.

In the original history, only 505 C-47 transport planes were dispatched to Sicily, and 150 fully loaded C-47 transport planes were sent to Sicily.

But because of the appearance of Chen Yanlong, and also let the British and American troops try to lose several battles; Therefore, in order to win steadily and make no mistakes, Eisenhower not only asked all the paratroopers of the British 1st Airborne Division to fight, but even all the paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division of the US Army to attack and carry out airborne operations.

That's why there are so many gliders, transport planes, and fighter jets now.

At the same time, when the two airborne divisions went to Sicily, they were also divided into six columns, with the left and right roads separated by 2.5 kilometers from the center.

From a distance, it looks like a large group of black pressed ground, like a wild goose flying in a queue, beautiful and orderly.

However, it is a pity that the current 82nd Airborne Division of the US Army is not equipped with 72 sets of "Avenger" air defense missile systems, 188 "Tao" anti-tank missile launchers, 122 Javelin anti-tank missile launchers, 54 M777 howitzers, and 27 M3 recoilless guns.

There are also 54 60-mm mortars, 36 81-mm mortars, 24 improved Vulcan anti-aircraft guns, 30 AH-64 armed helicopters, 43 OH-58 Kiowa reconnaissance helicopters, 3 EH-60 electronic warfare helicopters, 41 UH-60 utility helicopters, Humvees, MRZR all-terrain vehicles, and M60A1 armored bridge-erecting vehicles, transport trucks, and logistics support vehicles and other vehicles 3,741.

Otherwise, Chen Yanlong would be in big trouble, although he has a mobile phone exchange system, but in the face of these advanced weapons and equipment, it is enough for him to be miserable.

With regard to this airborne operation, Li Qiwei, the new division commander, was nervously sitting in the command compartment, listening to the various flight instructions and other situations that the long plane kept transmitting back.

"I hope God will bless us with a smooth and successful victory in this battle!"

After listening to the report of the long plane, he suddenly came back to his senses and said worriedly.

For he did not know why, the closer he got to the realm of Sicily, the more worried he became; It always felt as if something was wrong, which made him unstable and uneasy.

This feeling was very uncomfortable, but he couldn't get rid of it, and the more he drove away this sixth sense, the more worried his heart became.

"Probably nothing big is going to happen! What's wrong with me today, why am I always worried, and scared! ”

Facing the feeling of increasing panic in his heart, Li Qiwei finally sighed helplessly.

At this moment, some of the U.S. troops sitting in the C-47 transport plane were full of worry, some were giggling and laughing, some were praying silently, and some were quietly eating compressed biscuits, because once they were in combat mode, they had no time and way to eat.

In other words, if they don't eat first, when it's time to fight, they will have to fight next to their stomachs.

"Hey! James! Why are you in such a hurry! Slow down and swallow carefully, now there are no German troops to grab you to eat! ”

Paratrooper Johnson smiled in a playful tone at James, who was munching on biscuits.

"If we don't eat enough now, how will we have the strength to fight, and when we fight, we don't know when we will eat our next meal! Johnson! I think you'll come and eat more, or I'll give you something you don't have to eat! ”

James didn't care about the other party's attitude at all, and said with a smile.

Seeing this, the US paratroopers on the same C-47 transport plane all laughed happily.

"By the way, you said that we will wait until our airborne landing will be successful!"

After the paratroopers laughed, the paratrooper Donnie was a little scared and said to Depp beside him.

"It should be! What's wrong, you're afraid? ”

Depp said.

"Hmmm! Somewhat! What about you? ”

Paratrooper Donnie nodded in acknowledgement.

"I'm a little scared, too, but we have so many people and fighter escorts tonight, I think it's going to be fine! And even if there are German and Italian aircraft stationed in Sicily, so many of our fighters will definitely be able to defeat them and protect our safety! ”

Depp also confessed.

"Hopefully! I don't know why I'm so worried all of a sudden! ”

Paratrooper Donnie was still worried.

"Don't be afraid! We have dispatched so many land, sea and air forces this time, as soon as the German and Italian armies appear, we will be able to annihilate them all, just as an elephant can trample a large number of ants with one foot, and it will be as easy and pleasant! It's not difficult at all! ”

Depple replied heewhely.

"Depp is right! Those German troops are nothing more than lost dogs that we have driven out of Africa, nothing to fear! And we are still conducting night raids, sneak attacks when they are at their laxest! So those German and Italian troops don't have to be afraid at all! All we have to do is wait for the slaughter to take over the area we want to occupy and cover up for our landing force! ”

At that moment, another paratrooper Cage, suddenly interjected confidently.

"That's right! That's right! The German and Italian armies had nothing to fear! We just need to beat them to death, they are afraid of the ruthless people we are confident that they are not afraid of death! And I'm a master who can fight ten! ”

Paratrooper Robert also interjected excitedly.

"Hahaha! We're here to kill the Germans this time, what are we afraid of them! And in addition to the current fighter group, we have a large number of fighters and bombers in the rear, and they have not yet been dispatched! ”

"And the capital of Italy and other major cities are now under the indiscriminate bombardment of our bombers! The German and Italian troops will soon be beaten and surrendered by us! Then they will be afraid of us! ”

Paratrooper DiCaprio also suddenly interjected excitedly.

Seeing more and more paratroopers coming over to interject, the paratrooper Donnie could only smile bitterly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Especially when he heard that the other paratroopers were becoming more and more contemptuous and ridiculed those German and Italian troops, he smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

At the same time, his fear just now gradually calmed down, and he gradually felt like the other paratroopers that the Germans had nothing to fear; And the more he thought about it, the more belligerent he became, and he wished that he could be airborne now; And met a few German soldiers, so that he could make a big show of his might and kill once.

Of course, in fact, paratroopers like Downey they are in the mood and talking to paratroopers in various transport planes; and the glider are all performing one after another, coaxing.

At this time, these British and American airborne troops had already arrived in the skies over Sicily with their transport planes and gliders.

After that, all the pilots heard the order of their team leader: "Prepare for a parachute jump!" ”
