Chapter 381 Barton's upset

However, at this moment, they were also very worried about it. If it weren't for the number of ships on their side and the number of aircraft that were two or three times that of the German army, even if the German aircraft carrier fleet and the carrier-based aircraft fleet were so rookie, they would have been attacked by the other side and suffered heavy casualties.

In addition, there are two things that make them most headache now. The first is the German submarine force, which has been fighting for two days of naval battles, but has not yet encountered a ship dispatched to assist in the battle. Such a thing is very abnormal for the German army with more submarine forces, especially the commander-in-chief of these submarine forces, Denitz, is on the battlefield, so Hewitt and Cunningham always feel something is wrong.

The second thing is the Japanese air force "Kamikaze Special Attack Team"; because this Japanese flying team that attacked by suicide, they all used a "Zero" aircraft tied with 250 kilograms of explosives to hit American warships, and thus died with the aircraft and ships.

The result of the Japanese army's actions was that in the past two days of the Battle of Britain, the United States and Germany, more than 60 British and American ships were destroyed, including two aircraft carriers. Of course, the Japanese army also paid a huge price, because the 2,500 pilots sent by Chen Yanlong had already destroyed more than 1,000 people and killed more than 1,200 pilots. The remaining Japanese "Kamikaze Special Attack Team" pilots and aircraft were less than 700 people and the orders.

Because there are still 200 pilots from the Kamikaze Special Attack Team, who were injured and temporarily lost their combat capabilities. They can only be treated and recuperated on Denitz's ship.

Of course, the casualties of the pilots of the other 2,500 Kamikaze Special Attack Team dispatched to the Eastern Front are not as heavy as the casualties of the Japanese pilots of the Denitz aircraft carrier fleet.

Because the pilot of the Japanese Kamikaze Special Attack Team on the Eastern Front had just arrived at the battlefield on the Eastern Front and had not participated in the battle for two days, and there was no need to hit the Soviet ships to carry out suicide attacks.

"We must find a way to deal with those Japanese suicide squads as soon as possible!"

After focusing on the current naval battle situation for a while, Hewitt suddenly spoke again.

"I agree! Because the most losses of our aircraft carriers and ships are caused by these Japanese pilots who are not afraid of death! So we must get rid of this poisonous point immediately, otherwise I am worried that the losses of our ships and aircraft carriers will be even more serious!"

Cunningham also agreed firmly.

"But we don't have the suicide squad! How can we solve them immediately?"

Hewitt suddenly entangled.

"This... we may have to have a negotiation with our brave pilots!"

Cunningham said a little embarrassedly after being stunned for a moment.

"Are they willing to fight against the Japanese suicide victims?"

Hewitt sighed and said without much confidence.

"I... don't know! Or...it should be!"

Cunningham said with a wry smile after a twitching corner of his mouth.

"I really can't figure out why these Japanese are so unafraid of death. They are really war madmen!"

Hewitt sighed again.

"If they were not war-crazy and madmen, they would not have launched a Pacific War suddenly, killing so many of our soldiers, and occupying so many colonies overseas!"

When Cunningham heard this, he suddenly showed a hint of anger.

But Hewitt did not respond, but lowered his head thoughtfully and continued to look at his combat chart.

Seeing this, Cunningham also fell silent and stared at the latest combat charts, thinking about how to annihilate more German and Japanese troops later.

Of course, he was also considering how to reduce the losses of the naval forces on his side, especially aircraft carriers and ships.

And at this time, in the inland area of ​​Sicily.

The US military's field artillery 105mm and 155mm howitzers were desperately firing white phosphorus bombs and high-explosive bombs to shell the German army.

Each of these ammunition types is more than 2,000 rounds.

Under the high-intensity and dense artillery of the US military, the German positions ahead were silent as if the German soldiers there had been covered with American artillery fire and were blown into pieces, and the entire army was destroyed.

In addition to these shellings, the US aviation forces also dispatched more than 500 b-17s and b-26 bombers to carry out bombings and felt-type bombing.

After rounds of fierce bombing, the US artillery and air force slowly and reluctantly stopped the attack and left with joy and the attitude of a winner.

Because in the Battle of Sicily these days, the US military was rarely able to obtain such an easy bombing mission, and the German army rarely did not fight back tenaciously.

Especially when all the high-level officers of Patton's 2nd Army unanimously agreed to pursue the SS, they were even more embarrassed by the 1st SS "Viking" Armored Division, the 6th SS Northern Mountain Division, the 1st SS "Adolf Hitler Guard Flag Team" Armored Division, the 7th SS Prince Eugen Volunteer Mountain Division and other elite SS Division were defeated in a very embarrassing counterattack, especially the 1st US Division, the 45th Division, the 3rd Strengthening Division, and the Canadian Master were killed many soldiers.

So this counterattack made these divisions distorted mentality that had been shrouded by the SS; they were very comfortable and much more reconciled, and even felt proud.

"Hahaha! Those bastards SS were finally beaten to death by us. It's so satisfying!"

"Yes! Yes! It's so cool! We have been ambushed by them many times in the past two days! And many soldiers have been injured and killed!"

"These damn German guys! This time we will never let them go. We must kill them on the position and destroy their entire army!"

"Hey! I don't think we have to charge, they are already covered by our storm-like artillery fire and bombarded by the aviation troops!"

"That's of course! Our artillery fire cover and bombing were so powerful just now. No matter how elite these Germans were, they would still be buried here!"

Moreover, many American soldiers shouted happily because they were too excited and excited.

"I think it's better for us to be careful. These SSs are very cunning. Last time we watched them pretend to retreat for no reason and wait for us to pursue them, but we were ambushing us in a dense battle? We were ambushed by such cunningly and killed a lot of soldiers!"

"Yes! These German troops are really different from ordinary German troops. They are very cunning and very cruel! So we must be careful of their traps and ambush!"

But there were also a few American soldiers who were scared and said vigilantly by the SS.

But no matter whether they are happy or cautious, Patton was also thinking in his heart whether to immediately launch a general attack after the artillery fire was covered and the aviation troops bombed, and attack the SS's defensive positions in one fell swoop.

"It's so annoying! Should I send troops to pursue now? Or should I wait and see what's going on here! Or should I send only a small number of troops to tentatively attack the SS's defensive positions!"
