While thinking, Chen Yanlong was also looking at the quarterly output table of fighter jets forwarded by Sperer from January to May 1943.

From this production report, Chen Yanlong can clearly see that the first five months of 1943 were more than 3,000 BF109 fighters, about 1,000 FW190 fighters, and only more than 650 twin-engine fighters, and the final BF110 was only more than 920.

After reading the fighter production table, he looked at the total number and organization of the German Air Force 1-6 and Imperial Air Force.

After watching for a while, he finally decided to use the 3rd Air Force to protect the airspace of France, the Netherlands and Belgians to remove half of the air force to carry out the Battle of Sicily.

However, before the Battle of Sicily, he knew that he would definitely fight with the British and American allies for control of Panteleria Island in the next half month, that is, from May 15 to June 11.

Although last time he ordered Kesselin to send a large number of fighter jets to wipe out the 12th US bomber brigade.

However, if the British and American allies do not eradicate the nail on Panteleria Island first, once they want to launch the Sicily Battle; then their every move will be fully exposed to the supervision of the Italian army and the German army; at the same time, if they want to send landing troops to capture the island, they will also be counterattacked by hundreds of fighter jets deployed by the Italian army on the island.

In other words, if the British and American Allies want to land on the Battle of Sicily, the German and Italian troops on Pantelleria must be eradicated, even if they have to pay a big price.

Of course, if they change their minds and no longer engage in the Sicily Battle; then Panteleria is optional for the British and American Allies.

"Then let's fight another battle with the British and American allies on Panteleria Island first! But this time they must be allowed to land on the island before launching a large-scale counterattack!"

Chen Yanlong suddenly made up his mind and said.

"It's just that I want to select the fighter units from the 3rd Air Force?"

Chen Yanlong murmured to himself as he looked at the detailed information of the 3rd Air Force.

Air Force: It is the largest front-line combat unit, with several aviation troops, aviation divisions, aviation regiments, brigades and independent troops, mainly responsible for air operations and support to the army throughout the region.

Aviation Division: Command one or more aviation regiments, also called wings, is the largest tactical organization of the German army; generally the headquarters of the regiment and 3-4 brigades, the 4th brigade is usually a training brigade, and the 4th brigades of some aviation regiments since 1941 were also formal combat units.

The regiment headquarters has about 4 combat aircraft, each brigade has about 40 to 50 combat aircraft; the regiment has about 100 combat aircraft in the early stage of the war, about 160 in the middle of the war, and about 200 to 300 in the late stage of the war...

"Okay! Let's draw out the five wings of JG1, JG2, JG3, JG4, and JG26 first! If there is any special situation in the area they are guarding, I will dispatch them from the Imperial Air Force stationed in Germany for air defense and provide support!"

After reading the detailed information of the 3rd Air Force for a long time, Chen Yanlong finally made up his mind.

At the same time, he also decided to replace all the fighters used by the air force wings with Fω-190A-6/R1 fighters.

Because the Fω-190A-6/R1 fighter jets have better combat performance than their current ME109 fighter jets.

Moreover, these A-6/R1 bomber killers are equipped with FuG25 radio and FuG16ZE, and replace two MGFF cannons with the new MG151/20 cannons. Therefore, the armed system is: 2 MG17 machine guns and 4 MG151/20 cannons. At the same time, they can also carry two 210mm Werfer-Granate21 air-to-air rockets without guidance systems.

Originally, these latest fighter jets in 1943 were mainly equipped with the JG1 Fighter Wing and the JG26 Fighter Wing.

But now Chen Yanlong wants five wings, all of whom need to have these powerful fighter jets.

Because he had to consume a lot of British and American air force, but if he wanted to own these aircraft, he probably had to discuss it with Sper.

Although the main production lines of these fighter jets are contracted and produced by companies such as Ago, Aladdo and Fischler, which have already been reclaimed, he has now handed over all the weapons and equipment production, raw material control, and supervision rights of the navy, army and air force to Sperer for management; then if he doesn't ask Sperer for it, who else can he ask?

After deciding to arrange the fighter jets, Chen Yanlong continued to read the information of the 2nd Air Force and pulled out the 3rd Battalion from it; the 122nd Battalion and the 11th Battalion took on the bombing mission.

Of course, the mission of these brigades is to replace all the twin-engine military JU88 bombers, and the latest model of Ju88R-1 bombers equipped with Lichtenstein BC radar.

After the Air Force made a choice, Chen Yanlong immediately called Keseling and asked him to transfer Hermann Goring Division and the 15th Armored Division; and the 16th Armored Division, all from Sicily to Pantelleria Island to prepare for the Battle of Pantelleria Island.

Keselin, who had just arranged the training of his second air team, was stunned for a moment when he received Chen Yanlong's inexplicable order call.

"First of the Year! Didn't you ask me to send these troops to Sicily to defend against the landing of the British and American Allies? Why are you suddenly dispatching them to an island as small as Pantelleria?"

After reacting, Keselin was puzzled.

"It's very simple! Although we wiped out the 12th Bomber Battalion of the US Army on Panteleria Island last time! The landing combat troops of the British and American Allied forces and air strikes were halted for a few days, according to the latest news from our intelligence system, the large forces of the British and American Allied forces are gathering in Algiers, and they are carrying out intense preparations for the Sicily landing combat in two months (i.e. Operation Eskimos)! So that is to say, Panteleria Island will soon become one of the important places they want to capture!"

Chen Yanlong explained in a gentle tone.

"Okay! I understand! I will do it according to your order from the Head of State! But when I dispatch these troops, what troops will I ask to guard Sicily and prevent the large forces of the British and American Allied forces from landing in battle?"

After hearing this, Keselin was silent for a while and said seriously with a serious expression.

"I have called Manstein to transfer the fifth "Viking" armored division of the Eastern Front, the Sixth Northern Mountain Division of the SS; the 1st "Adolf Hitler Guard Flag Team" armored division of the SS, and the 7th Prince Eugen Volunteer Mountain Division of the SS; after they change their equipment fully, I will dispatch them all to Sicily to prevent the landing of large forces from the British and American Allies!"

Chen Yanlong confessed without any lying.

"This... your move is so big, Master!"

When he heard Chen Yanlong transfer several of the most powerful armed SSs to Sicily, Keselin took a breath and said in an unbelievable tone.

"I will do anything for the battle of Sicily!"

Chen Yanlong also responded seriously.

"Yes! Head of State! Victory! Head of State!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Keselin immediately replied loudly.

"In addition, I will also draw your 3rd team of the 2nd Air Force; the 122nd team and the 11th team to Pantelleria Island, ready for the bombing mission at any time!"

Chen Yanlong continued to order.

"Ah! This..."

Keselin shouted in surprise.

"Hmm! You don't want to?"

Chen Yanlong asked unhappily in an instant.

"Ah! No! I just want to say that the 11th Battalion was not from the Bombers, the Head of State!"

Keselin explained awkwardly.

"Well! I know, but your 2nd Air Force pilot is being replenished. There are not many bomber fleets that can be given to me, so I took the 11th Battalion and let them be bomber pilots temporarily. Of course, I will let them train before going to the battlefield. If not, I will change my Fω-190A-6/R1 fighter and return to the fighter brigade and attack the enemy!"

Chen Yanlong also explained.

"Then I understand! Then follow the command of the head of state!"

Upon hearing this, Keseling stopped saying anything and agreed immediately.

Who told Chen Yanlong to give him so many advanced TA152 fighters, and to transfer several of the most powerful German armed SSs from the Eastern Front to Sicily! How could he refute and oppose such an arrangement?

"Okay! But when you are dispatching troops, you must try your best to hide the truth and not let the British and American allies know my latest action plan; at least they cannot let them know how much troops we have, deployed on Pantelleria Island."

Chen Yanlong nodded with satisfaction and continued to order.

"Yes! Head of State! Victory! Head of State!"

Keselin agreed loudly in a respectful tone.
Chapter completed!
