Chapter 400 It seems that our old rival Hitler is hiding more and more deeply
"The battle of Sicily is very bad. Commander Eisenhower has just given us an order to assist the evacuation of the troops of Montgomery and Patton!"
On an Essex-class aircraft carrier, Hewitt said to Cunningham with a serious face.
"Did President Roosevelt agree with Churchill? And the members of the MPs who participated in the Joint Conference?"
Cunningham asked back while watching the fierce naval battle on the sea in the distance.
"Commander Eisenhower did not say anything about this!"
"But I believe Commander Eisenhower can definitely solve this problem, and we can't watch Montgomery and Patton, as well as the hundreds of thousands of troops they commanded, were annihilated by the Germans!"
Hewitt retorted.
"Well! I agree with you, then let's take out some ships to rescue them! But the battle situation we assisted is not optimistic! The strength of the German aircraft carrier fleet in front of us is greatly unexpected. We already have a lot of carrier-based aircraft, ships, and submarines in their hands!"
Cunningham's own fleet was constantly driving the German new carrier-based aircraft group with the most fierce air defense firepower on the battlefield ahead, while worried.
"But we also annihilated many German aircraft and ships! We were not suppressed and beaten by the German army one-sidedly!"
Hewitt also watched a battleship named Lexington using the 127mm, 40mm, and 20mm gun group on its ship to shoot down a German carrier-based aircraft that was shot down the sea because it was flying too low, and retorted excitedly.
"Unfortunately, our victory was to defeat the German carrier-based aircraft and ships in a ratio of 3 to 1, or even 5 to 1!"
"Faced with such a tragic victory, how many aircraft and ships can we engage in a war of attrition with the German army!"
Cunningham smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed.
"This... I never thought that these German carrier-based aircraft were so powerful with ships! I didn't expect that we would have to lose several carrier-based aircraft to destroy one of them, even ships!"
"Didn't it mean that there are still many new recruits in these German fleets? Why are their combat effectiveness still so powerful!"
After hearing this, Hewitt also said in awkward manner.
"Who knows! These German troops have suffered a lot of great losses recently, and have also suffered a lot of casualties and consumed a lot of weapons and equipment!"
Cunningham shrugged his shoulders and responded with a look of pretentiousness.
"It seems that our old opponent Hitler is hiding deeper and deeper! He has never used all his combat strength before! He is really cheated by him!"
Hewitt clenched his fists and said with a sharp look.
"You're right! Hitler is really cunning! We were all foolished by them, and there were many casualties!"
"So from today on, we must build up twelve points of energy to deal with the conspiracy and tricks of Hitler, the old fox, and the cunning methods of changing!"
"Or I'm worried about how we die, I don't know! It seems that this time, the Battle of Sicily, which we launched in a fierce manner, was really miscalculated. Before the battle started for many days, Hitler's cunning methods had wiped out so many pilots and soldiers! And they also destroyed a large number of our weapons and equipment and ships!"
Cunningham also said unwillingly and grief.
"By the way! We are staying with your British aircraft carrier group, have we started to come to support us?"
Hearing this, Hewitt changed the subject.
"It's on the way! I'll send a telegram to ask Prime Minister Churchill later!"
Admiral Cunningham gradually calmed down and said.
"It's better to be faster! Otherwise, we will even evacuate Sicily, which is a big problem! The loss of our ships is no longer optimistic!"
Hewitt reminded with a serious expression.
"I will urge you as soon as possible, but I am still very reluctant and unwilling to evacuate after being defeated!"
Admiral Cunningham responded unwillingly as he watched a US battleship shooting a German carrier-based aircraft with a 127mm anti-aircraft gun with a height of 280 degrees, a height of 500 meters and a distance of 7,800 meters.
"Whether we can turn defeat into victory, or whether we can evacuate safely, depends on the speed of our arrival in your huge fleet of aircraft carriers!"
"If they come to the rescue at a rapid speed, then we might be able to turn defeat into victory, catch the Germans off guard, and even wipe them out!"
"On the contrary, our Sicily battle will end in failure, and we will encounter many unpredictable things when we take over the evacuation of Montgomery and Patton's troops!"
"So all the victory or defeat depends on the urging of your superior to rescue efforts!"
Hewitt opened his heart and said.
"Well! I understand. You should dispatch ships and transport ships to rescue Montgomery and Patton's troops! In addition, please inform Commander Eisenhower to do everything possible to dispatch more air forces to cover their evacuation!"
Cunningham nodded and replied seriously.
"Yes! I will handle it! Admiral Cunningham!"
Hewitt saluted the other party with a standard naval salute and replied loudly and respectfully.
Cunningham did not speak anymore, but nodded silently and continued to observe the naval battle not far away in front of him.
And here, six new German carrier-based F8D fighter jets were attacking from high altitude at high speed and launching bomb attacks on the Essex-class aircraft carrier where Cunningham is located.
Cunningham was also prepared for the sudden attacks of these German carrier-based aircraft and immediately ordered the American carrier-based aircraft group on the aviation industry to take off and face it immediately.
At the same time, the inner aviation anti-aircraft artillery was constantly countering the attacks of those German carrier-based aircraft groups.
For a moment, the Essex-class aircraft carrier where Cunningham was located was trapped in a battle of war. The sound of artillery and explosions continued to resound in the sky, and black smoke continued to be in the air, or the aircraft carrier rose up.
At this time, Chen Yanlong was also silent with a serious expression on the aircraft carrier Midway Island where Chen Yanlong was; he was still standing at the combat command of the aircraft carrier, looking at the telegram in his hand.
These telegrams came from the Eastern Front battlefield and were combat intelligence about the troops commanded by Model who were launching large-scale counterattacks with the Soviet army.
