Chapter 795 Admiral Marshall's concerns
"More than 30 typhoon fighters have taken off and taken off for night patrols, Commander Marshall!"
When batches of typhoon fighters took off successfully and patrolled the airspace in the Algiers area, Adjutant Williams immediately whispered to Admiral Marshall.
"How are their flights? Can they adapt to flying at night? Can the radar systems they install detect enemy aircraft?"
Admiral Marshall asked.
Of course, what Admiral Marshall mentioned now is not a new single-seat twin-engine supersonic Eurofighter named EF-2000, but is used to replace the Hawk Hurricane fighter, but eventually evolved into a "typhoon" attack aircraft for tank killers.
Moreover, this night combat NF.Mk IB equipped with A.I interceptor radar, can use 60-pound rockets to attack enemy tanks at night.
These night typhoon fighters equipped with radar can hang 8 rockets, and the destructive power of these rockets is very huge. German tank armor has no ability to withstand their attacks, especially the armor on the top of the tank vehicle can be easily penetrated.
However, because these typhoon fighters are too bulky and their performance is not very good in terms of climbing rate and maximum speed at high altitudes, the British army converted these fighters into tank killers to deal with German tanks.
In the original history, Rommel was shot on the airborne by a British "Typhoon" fighter jet group on the road near the Normandy front, and his car was destroyed and he was seriously injured.
In addition to him, the Tiger tank of the German No. 1 ace tank, Weitmann, was attacked by the British "Typhoon" fighter, and was destroyed by a 60-pound rocket.
Therefore, this Typhoon fighter was named a famous tank killer during World War II.
"Everything is operating normally. Now the entire sky above Algiers are British night typhoon fighters patrolling and flying. Once these typhoon fighters discover the tanks we gave them to practice, they can immediately conduct night attacks and see the effects after the attack!"
Adjutant Williams answered in a positive tone.
"What is Eisenhower doing now? Has he slept?"
Admiral Marshall suddenly changed the subject.
At the same time, he also lifted his head from a pile of telegrams and stared at the adjutant Williams with a sharp look.
"He is studying all the telegrams and intelligence content from the front-line battlefield, especially the loss reports and casualties reports of front-line combat!"
"And he and his combat staff are also working overtime to sort out various documents and telegrams from the front line!"
Adjutant Williams reported truthfully.
"Okay! He is also a diligent commander!"
"It's a pity that his ability advantage is in dealing with diplomacy and interpersonal relationships, not in strategic and tactical marching and fighting!"
"Or he would be a rare future!"
Admiral Marshall nodded slightly silently and commented.
Adjutant Williams did not answer, but stood quietly and listened carefully to General Marshall's words.
"What do you think of this battle? How much do we have in our chances of winning? Williams!"
However, General Marshall did not say much, but turned his eyes to the adjutant Williams and asked back.
"this......"
When General Marshall asked this, Adjutant Williams was stunned for a moment and stuttered steadily without knowing how to answer for a while.
"Don't be optimistic about how we can win? Adjutant Williams!"
Seeing this, General Marshall looked at the other party's hesitant expression and smiled bitterly in an instant.
"We will definitely be able to achieve victory, and I believe God will bless us!"
Adjutant Williams's eyes froze and immediately agreed loudly.
Although he was also worried about who would win or lose this battle, he knew very well that if he could not show confidence in front of his boss and believe that his troops could win, then his fate would not be too good. At least he would not have to expect his career promotion.
So he didn't care whether the final result of the battle was whether the British and American troops won or the German troops won, he would immediately give a positive answer, and he would firmly believe that his side would definitely win.
However, when it comes to his performance, General Marshall seemed to see through his thoughts, and just smiled bitterly and shook his head silently, without further saying anything.
After seeing that General Marshall did not speak again, Adjutant Williams immediately followed and became silent, continuing to wait for the other party's following.
"I want to go to the front line to observe the battle situation up close. You can prepare a fleet for me!"
A moment later, General Marshall gave an order to Adjutant Williams.
"What!"
"It's not good! Commander!"
"You are the highest-level commander here. If you have any situation at sea, how can I explain to President Roosevelt and all the high-level officers?"
Upon hearing this, Adjutant Williams immediately stared at General Marshall with wide eyes and said in panic.
"Didn't President Roosevelt personally arrive in Africa to visit the troops there and conduct inspections? Will my life be more precious than President Roosevelt's? Williams!"
"And I hope you must clearly understand that once we are defeated or repelled by the German army in this Second Sicily attack and the Battle of Casino in Italy, our military morale and morale will be hit harder than ever before, and there will be heavy casualties. Whether we can continue to fight with the German army in the future and open up a second European battlefield will be an unknown number!"
"Maybe even our UK will be occupied by the German army, and even our local area will be threatened by the German army. Don't forget that the Germans already have powerful missile weapons and equipment, long-range aircraft carrier fleets, and long-range submarine groups!"
"Their current maritime strength can definitely attack our local area from afar, which is even more terrifying than the Japanese army launching the Pacific War!"
"So we can never lose in this battle, and we can't afford to lose!"
"Otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. At least I don't know what kind of terrible dilemma we will face after being defeated!"
As soon as the words fell, General Marshall retorted emotionally.
"I understand, I'll prepare the fleet for the commander immediately!"
After hearing General Marshall's decision and fear of the future, Adjutant Williams was silent for a moment, and then made up his mind to agree loudly.
"Thank you for your understanding, Williams!"
Admiral Marshall said gratefully.
"Victory will definitely be ours!"
"God will definitely protect us!"
Adjutant Williams stared at General Marshall with a firm belief, and agreed with a loud voice.
Then he immediately turned around and left to prepare for the fleet to load General Marshall, and arrived at the front line to inspect the battle situation.
Admiral Marshall was also in a complicated mood and took out a pack of cigarettes from his clothes with a little worry and sucked them silently.
