Chapter 770 The angry roar of the five-star general Arnold

The 1st Airborne Army led and commanded the battle, led by Lieutenant General Browning, was formed by the British 1st Airborne Division, the 82nd Airborne Division, the 101st Airborne Division and the Polish paratrooper brigade.

However, the command of this airborne army was left to Montgomery to govern, while the United States and Canada jointly organized the 1st Secret Service and the newly formed 73rd Airborne Division, 68th Airborne Division, and 118th Airborne Division were handed over to Alexander to attack Casino for command and command operations.

The command of more than 4,000 transport aircraft was personally led by Eisenhower and five-star General Henry Harry Arnold, known as the "father of the modern American air force".

The current five-star Arnold Admiral has 16 air fleets (242 combat aviation brigades under its jurisdiction), with about 3 million people and about 80,000 aircraft of various types.

In fact, he originally wanted to stay in the United States to command the aviation war in the Pacific, but because the war on the Western Front became worse and worse, it was becoming increasingly unfavorable to the British and American allies. Especially recently, the British and American aviation forces suffered heavy losses. Not only did they lose a large number of aircraft and pilots, but even the British local airspace was threatened by German air strikes, and they also blew up many buildings, military facilities and weapon equipment manufacturing factories.

As for the civilians and military officers and soldiers in the British mainland, a large number of them were killed and injured by the German air strikes.

That's why he was persuaded by President Roosevelt to go to the battlefield on the Western Front and personally directed the latest Western Front counterattack Battle of Casino and the second landing battle on Sicily.

This time, the new fighter jets participating in the battle not only included P-51 Mustang fighter bombers, but also a small number of F-80 meteor fighters participated.

Although the F-80A Meteor jet fighter that just developed and produced, equipped with a J33-A-11 turbojet engine and six 12.7mm machine guns, has no practical experience, in order to fight against the German new jet fighter, the US military decided to dispatch these new jets.

At the same time, the US Navy also manufactured and developed the Water XF6U-1, the "Piracy" carrier-based fighter, the MacDonald XFD-1, the "Ghost" carrier-based fighter, and the North American FJ-1, the "Furious" or the "Shy" carrier-based fighter.

Because these three fighters are the latest three carrier-based jet fighters that the US military can now develop and manufacture. However, due to the early launch of the F-80A meteor jet fighter, the US military has focused their attention on the development of the MacDonald F2H-1 "Banshee" fighter.

This aircraft is a single-seat jet carrier-based fighter, one of the main carrier-based aircrafts that the US military has entered into the Korean War, and is also the only jet carrier-based fighter used by the Royal Canadian Navy.

Of course, in November 1943, this new jet carrier-based fighter that was beyond the age has not yet been developed and produced.

Moreover, the US military's R&D and production department is still stuck in the research and development design of the XFD-1 "Ghost" fighter and the XF2D-1 "Banshees" fighter. The leaders of this R&D team are Herman D. Bach and his engineering design team.

Although the current J34-WE-22 turbojet engine has been gradually developed, it has not yet had the most complete effect of activities, so a more in-depth research and development process is still needed.

As for the J34-WE-30 and Westinghouse J34-WE-39 turbojet engines, they were not even developed.

"How is our airborne situation now?"

"Have both Casino and Sicily's airborne troops successfully airborne?"

"In addition, how many casualties are there, including our transport aircraft and aviation forces, I need to get a detailed report on these battle situations right away!"

When Montgomery returned to his 21st Army Group, the five-star Arnold Admiral, who was in the Air Force Command in Algiers, issued his orders calmly and calmly, allowing all air force combat staff and correspondents to operate efficiently and immediately report to him in preparation for the battle situation.

"How did the German army know the date and time of our airborne attack? Who betrayed the news of our combat operations!"

When the five-star Admiral Arnold looked at the transport and air force he commanded were ambushed by the German army, his expression suddenly looked very stern.

"Chief William Joseph Donovan is seriously communicating and discussing this matter with high-level officers from the British Intelligence Department 5 and the Intelligence Department 6. It will be a result if it is slower!"

Air Force Operations Staff Bel responded immediately.

"This is the first time that the intelligence leak has been leaked. Are our Intelligence Agency and the British Intelligence Agency really so cowardly? Or are they just decorations and have no strength at all!"

Upon hearing this, the five-star Arnold roared angrily.

Regarding his anger, all the personnel of the entire aviation command lowered their heads in fear and worked hard on their own things. No one dared to touch his anger now, so as not to cause trouble.
