Chapter 802: Cunningham and Hewitt

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The sound of deafening explosions resounded in the sky, and the entire area around the beaches of Sicily, which was covered in a rain of shells, was bombarded beyond recognition.

But even so, the huge British and American fleets continued to shell from a distance with their large and small naval guns, all of which were aligned with all the German and Italian beachheads and military zones.

It's just that no matter how they shelled and bombed, they didn't encounter the slightest German counterattack

Even Cunningham and Hewitt were amazed by this, and their faces were full of confusion and worry.

"What do you think? What do you say these Germans are doing? ”

"Why are they not resisting at all when our attacks are so fierce?"

"It's weird! It doesn't feel normal! ”

Seeing that Ning An was in a nervous mood, he said to Hewitt beside him.

At this moment, Hewitt was also wearing a naval officer's uniform, standing beside Cunningham and staring at Sicily outside the aircraft carrier they were on.

"We'll know when our amphibious landing force comes ashore!"

Hewitt thought for a moment and replied.

"Do you think those damned Germans will set an unexpected trap and ambush for us this time? Kill us like the previous times and catch us off guard? ”

Cunningham worried.

"It's hard to say, we can only see one step at a time!"

"But this time we have Admiral Marshall personally commanding the operation, I don't think we should worry too much, at least our backup will be very strong and safe!"

"And Eisenhower is also in the process of forming a reserve army of more than 400,000 people, so we just have to desperately seize the beachhead landing sites in Sicily now!"

"As long as we occupy a certain landing site, even if the Germans really have some conspiracy to set up in Sicily to ambush us, don't be too afraid!"

Hewitt was silent for a moment before responding.

"Hmmm! You're right! ”

"But I feel that we can still step up the air raids again, and in addition, our airborne troops must also be completely airborne as soon as possible, as long as these airborne troops complete the airborne operation, we will be able to counterattack the German army in Sicily!"

"As you said, even if the Germans ambush us on the island or other conspiracy methods, we will not be so easily annihilated and repulsed by them!"

Cunningham nodded in agreement.

"Good! I'm going to rush those airborne troops right away! ”

Hewitt agreed.

"You don't have to rush, I've already told Eisenhower about this, just let him go!"

"We are the Navy, and the Army and Air Force will not necessarily listen to our orders!"

Cunningham said, shaking his head.

"If this is the case, then I will continue to mobilize our logistical supply and transport fleet, so that the amphibious landing operation we are waiting for can be victorious!"

Huey nodded.

"Good! There you go! I will also command our aircraft carrier fleet to meet the possible appearance of the German aircraft carrier fleet at any time! ”

"Because Dönitz is not such an easy opponent!"

"I've been calculated by him a few times, and I've suffered a lot of casualties and a lot of losses in the navy and the fleet!"

"So this time I'm definitely not going to be careless again, and Dönitz's bastard will take advantage of it!"

Cunningham also agreed with a sharp gaze

Then the two of them didn't talk much, but went their separate ways
