At this time, more than 5,000 US paratroopers had successfully landed in the entire southeastern region of Sicily, and they were about 70 miles away from their strategic target area.

As for the British paratroopers, thousands of people were successfully landed in other areas.

At the same time, the British and American Airlines bombers were already on Pantelleria Island and began to take off to prepare to bomb Sicily to assist Montgomery and land on the battlefield with Patton's troops.

Of course, these bomber groups still have a large number of fighter groups to escort.

After several failures, Eisenhower has become very cautious in dispatching troops.

However, the Italian troops, who had never experienced air strikes by airborne troops, and the people on the island, were frightened and panicked and confused.

Especially those Italian defenders were so scared that they almost disappeared.

"What should I do now! The British and American troops have reached our doorstep! Look at the dense airborne troops in the sky and the huge fighter fleet! We will be dead, and we will be wiped out by them this time!"

As the more and more British and American airborne troops and fighter fleets were seen, Italian officer Alfred, was frightened and trembled.

"What's there to be afraid of! At worst, we will surrender to them now! I believe they will not kill those of us who surrender!"

The Tuscan major beside Italian officer Alfred said with no worries.

"But if we surrender to these British and American troops without the consent of Prime Minister Mussolini, will we be executed or taken to military court!"

Italian officer Alfred worried.

"It shouldn't be! There are already many troops in our country that surrender to the British and American forces, and I have never seen anything happen to them! And now our capital and other big cities are also under large-scale bombing by the British and American airlines. I think Prime Minister Mussolini has no extra time to pay attention to us now!"

The Tuscan major thought for a while and said.

"But there are still those German troops on the island! If they know that we surrender, will they rush over and kill us! They are very cruel!"

Italian officer Alfred looked at the direction where the German troops were and said worriedly.

"If you are so afraid of the front and the back, then you can wait to die with the Germans! Anyway, as far as I know, there are only two German troops here, but the British and American troops we are facing now are full of British and American troops, and I think they have support here!"

"Anyway, I'm not optimistic about this battle at all, and I'm tired of this damn battle. I don't want to continue fighting anymore! I want to go back and live a better life with my wife! So I plan to surrender to these British and American troops!"

The Tuscan major insisted on his opinion.

"I'm going home too! Why don't we escape here together! Because no one knows what the treatment will be after surrendering to these British and American troops. If they kill us, or lock us up in concentration camps like those brutal Germans and torture us to death, then we will lose to death!"

Italian officer Alfred disagreed and worried.

"It's not nice to escape! Let's evacuate! But we have to fight and evacuate! No matter how we say we have to do our best to see the Germans and those friendly forces who are willing to stay and fight. If they are treated as deserters, it would be miserable!"

The Tuscan major thoughtfully and said.

"Okay! Then we decided like this! We will wait and find the weakest British and American troops to fight, and while fighting, we will find the right opportunity to escape from Sicily!"

After hearing this, Italian officer Alfred immediately shone with his eyes and said excitedly.

However, there are not many Italian officers or soldiers like them who want to retreat before they fight.

Therefore, the landing battles that Montgomery and Patton were preparing to carry out also many Italian soldiers fought back strongly.

There are 6 fixed and poorly equipped Italian coastal divisions stationed on the coast of Sicily, and there are also 4 Italian infantry divisions deployed inland to provide support and assist in combat at any time.

There are also the 15th German Armored Grenadier Division and the Hermann Goring Infantry Division stationed in the west and east of Sicily. Both units are capable troops, especially after obtaining Chen Yanlong's new equipment, they are twice as powerful as before.

Of course, whether it is British and American troops or troops on Sicily islands, what I still don’t know at this moment is that Chen Yanlong has deployed many elite SS divisions here, such as the Fifth "Viking" Armored Division of the SS, the Sixth Northern Mountain Division of the SS; the First "Adolf Hitler Guard Flag Team" Armored Division of the SS, and the SS SS's Sin's Sin's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army's Army'

Under the fierce raid of British and American airborne troops, these troops were awakened; at the same time, according to Guderian's pre-war arrangements, they were dispatching troops and hiding, waiting for the full landing of all British and American troops to fight.

"Hey! These British and American troops are really coming here! It seems that our heads of state are really wise, they really know their intention to fight!"

Lieutenant General Lotal Debes, the SS's Sixth Northern Mountain Division, said with a smile while observing the airborne situation of the British and American airborne troops using a night vision telescope.

"They are here! I have been waiting for them for a long time, and I want to fight them with great help! My hands are itchy! I want to torture them to death, and I also want to see the combat performance of the new weapons and equipment given to us by the Head of State, and what is the power of the power!"

The captain of the brigade of the SS "Adolf Hitler Guard Flag Team" armored division, Theodor Vichy, smiled excitedly and excitedly.

"Tsk! Even if you fight, we Prince Eugen should have the volunteer mountain teacher attacked first. You two should wait for me first! Our hell-style training is the most serious and strict, so we should go to fight first!"

At this moment, Carl Rickytrite von Obokamp, ​​the SS's Seventh Prince Eugen's Volunteer Mountain Division, suddenly interrupted confidently.

"I said you guys don't have to be so anxious. I think there should be a lot of British and American troops landing in battle later, so we can draw the troops we want to attack. Wouldn't that be better? No one has to hurt the harmony, and we can also wipe out these British and American troops!"

As soon as he finished speaking, General Herbert Giller, the fifth "Viking" Armored Division of the SS, also stood up with a bright smile and interrupted.

"Okay! Just divide it! Anyway, we must have these British and American troops coming and going without a return! Hehehe!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Eugen's Major General Feng Obokamp, ​​who volunteered for the mountain division, smiled evilly.

Looking at his evil laughter as if the devil was coming, the other SS division commanders did not answer, but also showed a belligerent gaze, flashing.

At this moment, these SS generals were very excited and eager to try to prepare for the battle.

The British and American paratroopers who were airborne, as well as Montgomery and Patton who were preparing to land on the battlefield were also ignorant of this.
