Chapter 881 Who is the commander of the German army?
"What did you say! Patton's artillery troops were ambushed by the German army?"
"The Germans from there attacked them?"
"Who is the commander of the German army?"
"How many people have they come and how are the weapons and equipment?"
"How are the casualties of Patton's artillery troops now? Is it serious?"
When Montgomery got Mandofir's German troops to attack Patton's troops, Eisenhower, who had just returned to his command, immediately obtained the information on the battle situation from his combat staff. At the same time, he also widened his eyes and shouted in disbelief.
At the same time, a feeling of uneasiness that had never been seen before instantly enveloped his heart, making him feel deeply nervous.
But Ian Held, the combat staff member who was questioned back in such an impatient tone, looked confused and didn't know where to answer for a moment.
After a while, he finally digested all Eisenhower's questions and began to answer them in an orderly manner.
"Report! Commander! Half an hour ago, General Patton ordered all artillery units of his 7th Army and the Great Red First Division, including the rocket troops, to shell the ancient city of Modica, saying that there were German troops lurking there!"
"He wanted to force all the German troops out. Originally, many officers and soldiers disagreed! But under the sudden order of violent temper, all the artillery troops followed the order and started the artillery bombardment!"
"Who knew that after his artillery fire was covered, he was immediately attacked by the German artillery team before a minute had passed; the situation was still unclear, and he was waiting for further information collection and reports from Patton's troops!"
"As for how many German troops are now, I don't know yet, and the commander doesn't know either!"
"We have to wait until the German army launches an army attack before we can know!"
"And General Patton's artillery reports have not been conveyed yet!"
Operational staff officer Ian Held reported all the information he knew to Eisenhower.
"Send me a telegram right away, Patton and Siodor Roosevelt, Omar Bradley, and Allen and the others!"
"I want them to report the latest battle situation to me within half an hour!"
"In addition, let Montgomery prepare troops to go to the ancient city of Modica to support the battle!"
"Finally, let's see if our aviation force can draw some aircraft to the ancient city of Modica to bomb and reconnaise the German artillery units that suddenly appeared?"
"I really didn't expect why the German army was not stationed in important cities such as Messina and Palermo, but suddenly appeared in the ancient city of Modica!"
After listening to the report of combat staff officer Ian Helder, Eisenhower gave his orders with a highly solemn expression.
"Yes! Commander! I'll deal with it right away!"
Operational staff officer Ian Helder was very clever this time and did not speak much, but immediately agreed.
And quickly pulled away and acted as Eisenhower's orders.
Eisenhower did not have time to come down, but immediately called Admiral Marshall to report the matter.
"Well! I just learned about the battle situation you mentioned from the combat staff under my command!"
"What do you think? White!"
When Marshall answered Eisenhower's emergency call from his command center, he also asked back with a serious expression.
"I have asked Montgomery to dispatch troops to support the battle at any time, and at the same time, I will also ask someone to see if our remaining air force can still dispatch some planes to the ancient city of Modica and bomb the German troops that suddenly appeared!"
Eisenhower replied immediately.
"But now the German Air Force that suddenly appeared in Sicily is still fighting fiercely with our Air Force!"
"We have dispatched most of the aviation industry to carry out support operations. Do we have the remaining air force?"
"And I feel like we have been thrown into the trap designed by the German army. No wonder our army can land in Sicily so easily and go to Italy to fight through there!"
Marshall suddenly said in a heavy mood.
"I'm also worried about this! Especially the fact that we just obtained about Keseling having 60 German-Armed Masters, I don't know if it's true or false!"
"If Kesseling really has so many troops, then our combat troops this time will be in danger. They may be surrounded and severely damaged by the German army!"
Eisenhower worried.
"So we must pay close attention to the latest battle situation and every move of the German army!"
"We must not take it lightly. We must win this battle, and at least we cannot give the German army a chance to make their conspiracy successful and severely damage our army!"
Marshall also said in a heavy tone.
"Yes! Sir! I understand!"
Listening to the old Simashall who had promoted his official position, he agreed to be worried, Eisenhower also attached great importance to the situation of the incident and replied.
