Chapter 127 Eisenhower's New Order
"Okay, don't make noise anymore. The StG44 assault rifle and the AKM assault rifle have their own advantages; the StG44 assault rifle uses intermediate power bullets, and its recoil is less than that of the AKM assault rifle! But the firing rate is not as fast as the AKM assault rifle!"
"And the biggest advantage of the AKM assault rifle is that it can be mass-produced at a relatively cheap price, strong and durable; and can maintain good performance in extremely harsh environments such as deserts, tropical rainforests, and severe cold."
At this moment, General Helbert Giller, of the Fifth "Viking" Armored Division of the SS, suddenly explained loudly to all the SSs.
"But now you are not all personnel changing their gear, but only about 10,000 to 20,000 people! Because the Chief of the People's Republic of China requires you to use the movable rifle and other different types of heavy firepower configurations to use with the AKM assault rifle so that these assault rifles can exert greater attack effects!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the captain of the SS brigade of the Armored Division of the SS "Adolf Hitler Guard Flag Team" also interrupted.
"The reason for this is that the ammunition consumes very fast in the comprehensive assembly of assault rifles and has a high logistics pressure. It can be used with a semi-automatic rifle to shoot accurately or suppress fire. The team can be equipped with a semi-automatic rifle with a scope as a precise shooter to make up for the snipers' concerns. Moreover, most of these AKM assault rifles have the best attack effect within 300 to 400 meters! If it is too close or too far, it will have no attack effect!"
Carl Richter von Obokamp, the major general of the SS's Seventh Prince Eugen's Volunteer Mountain Division, also stood up and echoed.
Faced with the explanations of the division commanders, all the SS members listened quietly, and no one started to talk loudly anymore.
"If you understand, then quietly get the weapons and equipment assigned to you, and then prepare to train according to the new training standards given to you by the Head of State! Because we will soon have a large-scale bloody battle with the British and American troops in Sicily! So if you want to survive, then give me special training desperately!"
When he saw that everyone had calmed down and listened, General Helbert Giller said loudly again.
"Yes! Sir!"
Most of the SS responded loudly.
"What's wrong? Do you don't have the strength? They are screaming so quietly! Let me be louder! The Head of State will come here to review your training in a few hours! Don't respond so weakly to me! Otherwise, get out immediately! Our armed SS is the most elite unit, and our face cannot be lost in front of the Head of State!"
Admiral Hulbert Giller roared in displeasure.
"Yes! Sir!"
Hearing this, all the armed SS immediately shouted in unison, and said with deafening voices.
Glory is a very important thing for them, especially since they have always believed that they are one of the most elite troops in Germany; so when they hear the head of state come to inspect them for special training, everyone is both nervous and excited.
Because none of them want to show off in front of the head of state, maybe they will be able to take office if they encounter good luck.
Seeing the serious and excited expressions of everyone, General Helbert Giller and other commanders also smiled with satisfaction.
At this moment, Eisenhower was taking a deep breath of cigarette to raise his spirits.
Now this one is the 38th Camel brand cigarette he smokes, because he is also in a rather irritable mood today.
Especially when he turned his eyes to the four-star general's flag on the wall, the rice-shaped flag and the star-striped flag, he felt even more bored.
"How is our Eighth Air Force replenished? How many planes have arrived here now? Are there large-scale air strikes on Panteleria?"
Eisenhower sat in a leather easy chair, and after a while he turned to stare at Carl Andrew Spatz, asking.
"I have added more fighter jets, and we have added more fighter jets to us. Chief Hewitt is also supervising!"
Carl Andrew Spatz replied awkwardly.
There is no way, because on an island as small as Pantelleria, their eighth air force was wiped out by the German air force dispatched by Chen Yanlong, and more than half of the pilots were killed or injured.
So in the face of such a bad defeat, how could he feel guilty and ashamed of the commander of the Eighth Air Force?
If Eisenhower and Marshall had not been strongly defended by Roosevelt and the Joint Staff, he would have been removed from his post and allowed him to return home to retire.
"What about our fleet, and the aircraft carrier? How many have we arrived? Hewitt told you that it was not?"
Eisenhower continued to ask.
"More than 4,000 ships of all sizes have arrived, and more than 2,000 have arrived! Four aircraft carriers have also arrived! Two more are on the way! As well as the "Admeralti Islands" and the "Boganville" aircraft carriers are being manufactured!"
Carl Andrew Spatz told Eisenhower Daw what he had found out about Hewitt.
"So how are the British navy and air force supplemented? Can I go out to participate in the battle now?"
Eisenhower frowned after taking another sip of the camel brand cigarette.
"It's almost the same as ours, but the number is not as much as ours! And their battle loss rate this time is larger than ours, and it also alarmed Churchill, who was in the meeting in Washington! When he heard that he knew about their crushing defeat, he was furious and scolded all the officers around him, making everyone under him complain!"
Carl Andrew Spatz touched a cold sweat and reported.
"I don't care about his affairs! Now prepare me a battle plan for bombing thousands of aircraft and bombarding Panteleria Island with thousands of ships! This is my new order for you! No matter what, we will capture Panteleria Island in the next week, otherwise you and I will be ready to pack up and return home, become a reserve, or wait for retirement!"
Eisenhower suddenly looked coldly and stared at Carl Andrew Spatz and warned seriously.
"Yes! Commander! I will definitely complete the mission!"
After Eisenhower saw this and warned him, he immediately saluted a military salute and said loudly with anxiety.
‘Well! Don’t let me down! By the way, have the 45th Division and Canadian troops retreated to me?”
Eisenhower nodded in a gentle tone.
"Everything has been withdrawn according to your order! Now in training!"
Carl Andrew Spatz replied immediately.
"Okay! Then you go out first! I still have a lot to deal with!"
Eisenhower nodded and responded.
"Yes! Commander!"
Carl Andrew Spatz also responded immediately.
Chapter completed!
