When Chen Yanlong rushed to those Chinese female bands, the battle in Sicily was still going on.

The 1st Canadian Division, the 5th, 50th and 51st British Divisions were also conducting landing operations on the beaches east and north of Sicily. The troops they first landed were to let their commandos take the lead in landing, and with the assistance of those paratroopers who had successfully airborne, they crossed the beach and seized a small part of the beachheads received by the Italian military garrison.

"Put down the cabin door quickly! Take advantage of our vanguard troops driving the Italian army out of the first line of defense and speed up the time to rush to land on the beach!"

An officer named Oakley in the 50th Division roared at the voice of the soldiers beside him.

With his loud roar, the British soldiers inside the landing craft where he was nervously lowered the cabin door, and fully armed, rushed out of the landing craft cautiously, and rushed towards the beach that their troops had occupied.

But on the beaches with surging waves and on Shati, these British troops who were carrying out landing operations were not at all easy.

Amid the dense sound of gunfire from the Italian army, many British landing craft were sunk or sunk by the waves.

The British troops who were on landing craft were either shot or sunk into the seabed and drowned.

Moreover, there are many mines and mines hidden in these beaches. If you are not careful, you will be killed or injured.

So in the just-starting landing war, more than 200 British troops died in the sea water or in minefields on the beach.

However, in the face of such a harsh landing operation, the cruisers behind these British landing craft immediately used those large-caliber artillery to fire shells frantically at the beach where the Italian army was stationed.

There were also white phosphorus bombs fired by destroyers for the first time to cooperate with the attack, so in a short while the Italian army was set up on the beach, and the fires of the destruction soared into the sky; thick smoke was rolling, and many Italian soldiers who were burned into firemen by the white phosphorus bombs were screaming in great pain on the beach; and the gradually burned into firemen, and finally became a black and ferocious corpse.

"All minesweepers hurry up and clear all the mines on the beach we landed!"

"Engineers! You also speed up the minefields on the beach and let our troops land as soon as possible! Quick! Otherwise we will lose to the US military's landing speed! We must become the first force to capture Sicily!"

As they watched their fleet show their might, all the British officers who were commanding the soldiers to land immediately shouted loudly and ordered.

At this time, those who were bombed by British naval guns and white phosphorus bombs, or were burned to the sky and the earth; the positions of the shrill Italian army were also changing more and more chaotic, and there were heavy casualties.

"The British naval guns are very powerful! What should we do now? If we continue to fight like this, we may be destroyed here!"

"Then let's retreat! I don't want to be burned to ashes by the new British shells!"

"I can't withdraw it! My left leg was blown away by their naval guns!"

"Save me! Help! I don't want to die like this! I was ignited by those strange bombs! I can't kill you!"

"Go away! Don't run over! Your fire will ignite us together, and you can't extinguish it!"

"Retreat quickly! The British and American aviation forces are here!"

"Oh my god! How can we fight so many planes! I surrender!"

"I surrender too! I don't want to fight this battlefield at all! It's all caused by the two murderous demons Mussolini and Hitler! We're dead this time!"

"I'm leaving! I don't want to surrender, nor do I die here!"

Faced with the British army's increasingly powerful force, fierce naval gun attacks, and the launch and dropping of white phosphorus bombs, the Italian soldiers who had been beaten to lose all their will to fight were all panic and shouted.

Especially when they saw the sudden and dense British and American air forces, these Italian soldiers were even more frightened and shouted in fear.

The British troops that were in the process of landing operations soon saw the Italian soldiers who had not yet died, either immediately surrendered to them or chose to escape desperately; and escape from the terrifying battlefield at this moment as soon as possible.

At this moment, General Guzoni, the commander of the 6th Italian Army, was anxious and frustrated and listening to his combat staff, reporting on the landing operations of British and American troops on various beaches.

But the more he heard it, the more frightened and frightened he became.

"What should I do! What should I do! How could this happen? How could those bastards in the United Kingdom and the United States choose such bad weather to carry out landing operations! And they also dispatched such a large-scale sea, land and air forces to carry out landing operations at one time! Are they going to wipe out my troops here? "

When he heard that the beaches such as Sicily, whether in the east, south, or west were successfully landed by British and American troops, his mood was as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he muttered to himself, pacing back and forth.

"Commander! What should we do now? Should we evacuate? Or should we notify the German army to assist in the war?"

Looking at General Guzoni, who was full of worry and a little lost in his face, the combat staff member Jia Shia also said uneasy.

"Do you know how many troops have the British and American troops dispatched to land for landing operations this time?"

After several consecutive inquiries by the combat staff, General Guzoni tried his best to restrain his emotions, calmed down for a while and asked anxiously.

"The US military has the 7th Army under its command: the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 9th Infantry Division, the 1st Armored Division, and the 82nd Airborne Division; as for the British troops, the 8th Army under its command, Montgomery: the 44th, 50th, 51st Infantry Division, the 1st Armored Division, the 1st Airborne Division, the 9th Infantry Division, the 2nd New Zealand Infantry Division, and the 1st South African Infantry Division."

"Their total force exceeds 470,000, and there are also a large number of ships to conduct naval and air support operations with the aviation forces!"

Upon hearing this, the combat staff officer Jia Xiya answered truthfully.

"What! How did the British and American troops dispatch so many troops to land? Why did I not receive any news? Then how can we fight with them now! The troops on my hands are only 8 Italian Coastal Divisions, 4 Italian Mechanized Divisions, and 2 German Armored Divisions, which together are barely more than 360,000 people, and there are 40,000 German troops!"

"But I know the strength of these troops very clearly. They are just some war-weary guys who are easily defeated and surrendered! Apart from those tens of thousands of German troops, they are all vulnerable troops!"

"Is this the rhythm of asking me to die? How else can I fight! Hurry up and evacuate all the troops!"

As soon as he heard the number of troops on the other side and the strength of the navy and air force, General Alfredo Guzoni was suddenly in a state of dismay and shouted in dismay.

"But if we evacuate like this now, how can we explain to Prime Minister Mussolini and Head of Hitler! And the gap between our forces and the British and American troops is not very big!"

Seeing General Guzoni who immediately ordered the troops to evacuate without thinking, the combat staff member Jia Xiya hurriedly said worriedly.

"Okay! Then I'll call Prime Minister Mussolini and Hitler Yuan first!"

"You should inform the two German divisions now and hurry up and stop the British and American troops that are landing in battle. I hope they can withstand their progress!"

After listening, General Guzoni suddenly remembered the risk of evacuation and the severity of the consequences. Then he was silent for a moment, then he gave an order.

"Well! I agree with this approach! Now I can only rely on the resistance of these two German equipment masters!"

The combat staff member Jia Xiya agreed with it and nodded.
Chapter completed!
