The Allied landing went well, although there was some confusion...... This chaos is mainly happening in the US military. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For this, the British army is indeed better than the American army, after all, the British army is a unit that has fought in the African theater for several years, and they know that they must maintain a certain degree of discipline on the battlefield, otherwise it is very likely to endanger the entire army and even their own lives, and this is not a joke, because everyone has only one life.

But many of the U.S. military are new recruits, such as the U.S. 45th Division.

It would be fine if it was just new recruits, but at this time the United States was already seriously short of troops...... After all, the total population of the United States at this time was only more than 100 million, and the United States opened up fronts in the Pacific and Europe to fight at both ends, and it was estimated that 10 million to 20 million troops were needed.

In other words, there is almost one person in a dozen who will participate, and the elderly, women and children have not yet been detained.

The U.S. government is using various means, such as subsidies and tuition waivers to push civilians into battle, and even prisoners serving prison sentences have become the target of conscription...... In the movie "Garrison's Expendables", the recruits are murderers, liars, and robbers.

Poor supply of troops and insufficient training will inevitably lead to some unbelievable situations.

For example, the US 45th Division, they were ordered to land on the beach near Scottriti and move forward, and the two battalions of the vanguard landed without problems, and when they occupied the beachhead and unloaded the supplies...... These troops, mainly composed of poor people and prisoners, not only failed to unload the supplies from the beachhead in time, but began to loot them.

Needless to say, it is not an exaggeration to describe the scene as "completely out of control", the soldiers did not listen to the command at all, and it was useless for the officers to shout and scold or even shoot, and they were all in a mess of looting and looting, which was even more chaotic than a hand-to-hand combat, and as a result, the troops following behind the 45th Division could not go ashore at all.

It is conceivable that if the enemy launches a counteroffensive at this time, the US 45th Division will definitely collapse, and this will lead to the failure of the entire US landing operation.

Fortunately, the Italian troops defending the beach were not very disciplined and well-trained, and they were frightened into fleeing long before the American troops landed.

The Germans did have a few, but only 400 of them.

It is conceivable that these 400 people could not play any role in the face of hundreds of thousands of American troops who were landing, as well as aircraft, artillery and warships, so these German soldiers wisely destroyed the military facilities and port facilities and fled north.

In the end, the U.S. forces only captured three landing sites each 12 to 15 kilometers wide and 3 to 5 kilometers deep, and the U.S. military paid the price of 58 killed, 199 wounded, and 700 missing.

Some of these wounded were even the result of looting supplies, and most of the missing were due to fighting in the dark of night, and many of them went to the wrong place.

The situation of the British was much better than that of the Americans, who captured the landing site 100 kilometers wide on the first day and advanced 10 to 15 kilometers forward.

Of course, the results of the British army also have a lot to do with the better and worse conditions of their landing, as mentioned before, the British army captured two large harbors, and the facilities of these two large ports were largely undamaged, and the American troops transported them almost from the beachhead.

An hour after the U.S. troops landed, Patton called Zhang Chi.

"Damn it!" Patton said on the phone, "Major General, I wonder if I can trust your troops!" ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang Chi asked rhetorically.

Because Zhang Chi did not want the French army to be under the command of the American army, he replied: "General, we each have our own tasks, don't we?" And...... Our idea army is not ready to attack the enemy! ”

"No, no......," said Barton, "I don't mean attacking the enemy, but not robbing things!" ”

"Don't grab anything?" Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, this requirement was too low for an army.

"Yes!" "As long as you don't grab something," Barton emphasized, "it's okay to ...... I can't trust those guys of the 45th Division anymore! ”

At this time, Patton would "ask for help" from the French army, and he also had no difficulty: the American troops had assigned their own tasks, but the 45th Division suddenly had this kind of oolong incident that almost paralyzed the entire division. Although there were reserves, Patton was reluctant to use them to maintain order and transport supplies, so he thought of the French army, which would be used to assist the American army.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi replied: "Yes, General, you can trust us!" ”

At this point, Zhang Chi had full confidence in the Third Army of the Zoaf Corps.

In fact, Zhang Chi even believed that the combat effectiveness of the Third Army was no longer inferior to that of any of the Allied forces, but others did not know or it could be said that it had not been tested.

After putting down the phone, General Zhu An asked Zhang Chi suspiciously: "Maintain order and deliver supplies?" ”

General Juan was bent on making the French army famous, so he was unwilling to let the French army take on this task.

"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied: "Haven't you been complaining that the United States has not given enough equipment? ”

"Oh!" General Zhu An couldn't help but suddenly realize.

Maintaining order was easy for the Zoaf Corps...... Don't look at the chaos of the US 45th Division, no one can control it, but that's just because they know that the US officers don't dare to take their actions against them, which is a bit like those naughty children, in front of their parents, they are the biggest in the world, and they often don't dare to make a noise in front of others.

Therefore, Zhang Chi didn't say a word, and immediately surrounded the American soldiers who were looting supplies after he took the Zoaf Corps ashore, and they were loaded with guns.

As soon as such a lineup was set up, the scene was much quieter, and some American troops also tried to challenge the Zoaf Corps, and gathered a group of GIs who also came up with guns and shouted:

"Fuck it, the French soldiers are here to make a fuss!"

"Go back to France, this is our American territory!"

……

Zhang Chi ignored them, because he knew that there was no reason to talk about these ruffian soldiers.

He only shouted to the Zoaf Corps: "Out of the sword!" ”

"Khooth!" With a crisp sound, the soldiers of the Zoaf Corps drew their scimitars almost simultaneously, and the sharp blades glowed in the moonlight, as if they couldn't wait to drink blood.

The chaotic U.S. troops were shocked by this scene on the spot.

If you don't dare to shoot at friendly troops, then there is no problem with using a knife, because if used properly, a knife can completely injure people without dying......

So sometimes, knives are more powerful than guns.
