At 4 pm, more than 250 aircraft transported 20,000 artillery shells, 30,000 mortar shells, 30,000 grenades, hundreds of boxes of MKA, 500 units of plasma and 2,000 bandages, more than 2,000 rations, more than 2,000 machine gun bullets, and more than 1,000 radio batteries and other military supplies.

But this is just the beginning, because more than 1,000 aircraft still transported a large number of napalm bombs and high-explosive bombs to Tunisia one after another.

At the same time, there were 1,800 aircraft, including Lancaster, Raiders, Air Fortresses, and Liberators.

These planes gathered in several airports in Tunisia one after another.

Because today they are going to raid and bomb Rome, Italy to force Italy to withdraw from the war and surrender completely.

"Flan! How many planes have been dispatched to our airport now?"

A pilot captain named Rick asked another pilot captain named Blaley.

"The 8th Air Force 34, 44, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, and 100 bombers, as well as 303, 305, 306, 351, 379, 381 to 493 bombers, but they are scattered in various airports in Tunisia, and there are 800 aircraft parked at the airport in our airport!"

Braley responded with the other party and said hello.

"So when will we start to set out and bomb Rome, Italy?"

Rick continued to ask.

"It should be soon! Anyway, the three aviation divisions of our Eighth Air Force are going to dispatch this time, and all of them have arrived here. The other aircraft are Lancaster bombers and mosquito bombers of the Royal Air Force."

Braley replied carelessly.

"Huh! They are all bombers, are there no fighter planes to escort us?"

Rick said slightly surprised when he heard that it was all bombers.

"Of course there are fighter groups, and in order to deal with the elusiveness of the German army, all the fighters that escorted us this time were P-47 fighters, P-51 Mustang fighters, and Typhoon fighters."

"I heard that this time the British typhoon fighter was also equipped with 4 20mm cannons, 2 227 kg or 500 kg bombs, and 8 27.2 kg rockets!"

"Hey! This time, even if we encounter the German FW190 fighter equipped with rockets, we are still fearless, especially our American P-51 Mustang fighter, which is the best performance and fastest!"

Breley immediately smiled happily when he saw Rick's surprised expression.

"If this is the case, it seems that the Italians will be blown up by us today!"

Rick said with his eyes lit up and his face was full of joy.

"I didn't care about those Italians at all. Our main opponents are always those Germans! Especially their mysterious new weapons and equipment, that is the most important killer weapon we need to be wary of!"

Braley retorted disagreeably.

"You are right! Otherwise, our Sicily landing battle wouldn't have been delayed for so long!"

Rick nodded in agreement.

"Shh! The landing war in Sicily is from our army's secret combat plan. Don't say it casually, otherwise we will be arrested and went to the military court if the law enforcement officers hear it!"

After hearing this, Braley immediately looked around and said nervously to Rick.

Hearing Breley's warning, Rick immediately closed his mouth and did not dare to say more about Sicily's landing operations.

"All bomber pilots, get into their respective planes and prepare to attack!"

At this moment, there were sounds of horns and commands for taking off and fighting from the airport command tower.

"Let's go! It seems that our air strikes to bomb Rome are about to begin early!"

As soon as he heard the combat order, Breley immediately said to Rick.

After saying that, he hurriedly ran towards his bomber.

Seeing this, Rick stopped talking and hurriedly ran towards his bomber quickly.

And when these bomber pilots were quickly in their positions and ready to take off, hundreds of warships were sailing towards Pantelleria Island on the sea from Algiers to Tunisia.

These warships include: more than 140 warships from Britain and Canada, 60 warships from the US, and 30 warships from other allies.

These battleships include battleships, cruisers, destroyers and low-barrel gunboats.

Behind them are a large number of huge transport ships, support ships, and minesweepers.

If anyone could board these warships to watch, they would be surprised to find Montgomery; and Patton also led their elite troops to hide in these ships.

"Is the Sicily landing war tonight? General Patton!"

Patton's chief of staff, one-eyed general Hobert Guy, with a carbine on his back, asked excitedly.

"It's possible! But we have to look at the weather conditions first, because the first thing we are going to attack in this landing operation is our airborne troops. If the weather in the group is not good at night, we may not be able to launch an attack until the morning!"

"But what I expected was that the group launched an airborne attack at night, because we have not yet investigated the number of new German weapons and equipment, production locations, and storage locations!"

"So if we want to win the war, we can only take pre-emptive night attacks now!"

"And in order to disrupt the German army's attention, we also launched a large-scale ground-based air strike at the Italian capital Rome at the same time!"

With a strong spirit, wearing a steel helmet, a pistol, and a large telescope, and a large cigar in his mouth, Patton grinned happily with a fighting spirit.

"Hey! As long as I can fight in person, I can attack any time! I want those Germans to know the power of our 7th Army commander! Our strength is definitely not as cowardly as the soldiers they defeated on Panteleria Island!"

"At least if the German army wants to defeat us this time, it will probably cost a very heavy price! But I'm afraid they don't have the ability and opportunity to defeat us!"

Hobert Guy said proudly with confidence.

"Hey! That's of course! Last time we just underestimated the cunning character of these German guys and were killed by them! But this time we were prepared! We will never repeat the mistakes we had last time!"

Patton stared at Panteleria Island with a sharp look, and murderous intent emerged.

"Of course at that time, and this time it was General Patton who led the troops personally to carry out landing operations, so our 7th Army Group only had victory, no failure!"

"At least we will definitely be twice as strong as Montgomery's 8th Army!"

Hobert Gay quickly agreed after hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Patton just smiled happily, and then stared at the sparkling sea with thoughtful eyes.

At this time, the British 1st Airborne Division and the 82nd Airborne Division were also in one of the airports in Tunisia, waiting for the arrival of the C-47 transport fleet and the order to board the aircraft.

At the same time, a large-scale bomber group from Britain and the United States, under the escort of more than 700 fighter jets, heading to Rome, Italy, preparing for a raid.

At this moment, the sudden landing of Sicily by British and American troops was also rapidly beginning to bomb with Romans.
