Chapter 392: Evacuate, Commander Eisenhower

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

15 B-17 aerial fortress bombers dropped 500-pound bombs at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters.

Several of these bombs hit three cruisers of the Dunitz aircraft carrier fleet, but most of the bombs failed to airdrop and fell to the sea, and burst into bunches of very huge water columns.

When encountering the attacks of these B-17 air fortress bombers, all the ships on the German water surface concentrated all anti-aircraft guns to fire fiercely on these enemy planes that broke through the interception of the German aircraft group and bombed.

The destroyer group, which was also responsible for the escort mission, also constantly released smoke screens and conducted a second wave of bombing to interfere with the British and American aircraft clusters.

At the same time, the German carrier-based aircraft group also quickly pulled out some of them to chase and intercept these B-17 aerial fortress bombers.

However, as soon as these B-17 air fortress bombers were bombed, they rushed and happily fled.

Although the German carrier-based aircraft group still shot down some B-17 air fortress bombers, a small number of them escaped safely.

In response, these new German carrier-based aircraft F8D carrier-based aircraft angrily culled at other British and American aircraft.

In a short time, more than 10 British and American torpedo attack aircraft, high-altitude bombers, dive bombers, and carrier-based bombers were shot down onto the sea and sank into the unfathomable seabed.

At this moment, the fleets of Britain, the United States and Germany were also fighting desperately toward each other, aiming at the shelling.

A large-caliber naval cannon resounded through the heaven and earth and the sea.

The two sides even fired torpedoes at each other to bombard each other.

So the two sides turned the Sicilian naval battle into a fierce battle.

"Report! Head of State! Marshal Richterhoven's aircraft carrier fleet has wiped out the aircraft carrier fleet commanded by Major General Theobord of the US military, and the total number of ships annihilated is more than 40! There are as many as 300 carrier-based aircraft!"

When the Dunitz aircraft carrier and the British and American aircraft carrier fleet were in full swing in the Sicily waters, combat staff Frederick respectfully reported to Chen Yanlong standing in the aircraft carrier command room with a moderate voice.

"Well! Marshal Richthofen did a good job! So what's the loss of our aircraft carrier fleet?"

Chen Yanlong nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

"More than 120 F8D carrier-based aircraft were lost, 80 jet bombers! There are 12 ships and one aircraft carrier!"

Frederick, the combat staff member, was nervous and reported truthfully.

“Is this number accurate?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yanlong glanced at the other party, looked sharp and said seriously.

"These are all the latest and most real, because these information were sent by Marshal Richterhofen to the head of state himself!"

Frederick, the combat staff member, nervously touched his forehead, which was already sweating due to fear, and replied nervously.

"Well! I like real battle reports. If you cheat, it will make us unable to accurately grasp the strength of our enemies and our enemies on the battlefield, the situation of war damage, and it is easy for us to lose the victory of this war!"

Chen Yanlong stared at the combat staff officer Frederick with a sharp look and responded in a stern tone.

"Yes! Head of State!"

When he saw this, the combat staff officer Frederick trembled all over and immediately gave a standard military salute from both sides in fear and replied loudly.

"Just know! How many ships are left in Marshal Hithofen there now, and what is his movement?"

Seeing the other party's fear, Chen Yanlong nodded with satisfaction again and said.

"There are more than 30 left, and there are about 300 carrier-based aircraft! He is now leading the aircraft carrier fleet toward the British waters and preparing to meet with our empire's submarine force!"

Frederick, the combat staff member, tried his best to overcome his inner fear and continue to report what he knew.

"Well! I understand! You will send me a telegram to Commander Goodrian immediately, and ask him to attack Montgomery and Patton's troops immediately. Before this evening comes, I will ask him to wipe out at least one or two divisions of the British and American landing forces. Of course, the more, the better!"

"There are rewards for completing tasks, and immediate punishment cannot be completed!"

Chen Yanlong suddenly issued a combat order.

"Yes! Head of State!"

Frederick, the combatant staff member, suddenly felt a trembling heart and said in a hurry.

At this time, Eisenhower, who was still commanding the battle on Pantelle Island, also received the bad news that Major General Theobord and the aircraft carrier fleet he commanded were destroyed.

"How could this happen? It's just that after three days of fighting, more than 40 ships and hundreds of aircraft, they were all wiped out by Hitler's German Navy!"

"Impossible! When did the German aircraft carrier fleet become so powerful? At the beginning, didn't they say that they were just rookies of recruits? Why are they all wiped out by others now!"

When Eisenhower heard this big bad news, he immediately roared with a blue face.

"Commander! The current situation of the war is not very good for us! Should we immediately evacuate the troops on the Sicily island? I am worried that if we are a little later, the fleet that is fighting with the German aircraft carrier fleet will not be able to withstand their attacks, and will not be able to evacuate the landing troops on the Sicily island!"

Hearing Eisenhower's roar, combat staff officer Hadley hurriedly interrupted.

"Yes! I think so too, because the landing troops of Montgomery and General Patton were not going well, and the number of casualties increased sharply! If we let them continue to fight like this and there are no reinforcements, they may be trapped in a fierce battle and are in a dangerous situation! Let's evacuate immediately! Commander Eisenhower!"

As soon as the words fell, another combat staff member also smiled and interrupted worriedly.

With the proposal of these two combat staff, other high-level officers and combat staff also started to discuss in panic.

"Okay! Don't make noise! ​​President Roosevelt has dispatched a very large fleet of aircraft carriers from the mainland and the Pacific War Zone to Britain."

"Commander Alexander and Prime Minister Churchill have also welcomed them in the UK. After a short rest, they will lead a large army to come to us tomorrow afternoon to carry out support operations!"

"And our battle has only just started for a few days, so we can evacuate immediately just by withdrawing! We have to discuss it through various departments such as President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, and the United Kingdom and the United States Association to issue an order to retreat or not to retreat!"

Eisenhower immediately stared at them with a fierce look at them.

Everyone immediately fell silent about Eisenhower's words and listened quietly.

After the conversation, everyone stared at each other and didn't know how to respond for a while.

Soon, the entire combat conference room fell into unsettling silence.

"It's like this, so I suggest Commander Eisenhower leave here first! Because you are the supreme commander of our Allies. If something happens to you here, then our Allies will be in a situation where there is no leader!"
