Chapter 393 The German Army Attacks Montgomery Retreat

"I agree with you!"

Looking at the expectant expressions of all the officers, Eisenhower frowned and was silent for a moment, sighed and agreed.

Seeing his agreement, all the officers and combat staff were greatly relieved.

Because for them, it is still a very beautiful thing to go to the front line to die.

And at this time, on the front of Montgomery, Sicily.

"Da da da! Da da da! Da da da!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The German mg42 machine guns kept spitting out red flames, and their devouring was accompanied by the earth-shaking and rocking artillery bombardment of more than 2,000 cannons on the artillery positions not far behind them.

With the extremely fierce artillery fire covered by the German army, the positions of the British and American Allied forces were constantly covered with dense shells, which caused the bombing to be devastated, with heavy casualties and corpses everywhere.

But even so, the British artillery positions, the trenches, minefields, and armored defense positions that had just been built were all over the sky and rain of artillery shells; they were bombarding and destroying them desperately.

In the German counterattack, the temporary combat command established by Montgomery was in a mess at this moment, with the sound of telephone calls, telegraph typewriters, and the noisy shouts of various officers.

At this time, Montgomery not only received a telegram from Eisenhower that he agreed to evacuate Pantelea Island immediately, but also answered the news of bad war reports from various fronts.

However, facing the German army's increasingly fierce artillery counterattack, Montgomery's battlefield communication began to change intermittently.

"His Excellency Commander! The German counterattack is getting more and more fierce! Our armored troops are also engaging in a fierce resistance war with them in the southeast!"

Operational staff officer Andri said anxiously beside Montgomery.

"If the war situation continues like this, then we will retreat immediately! I just received Commander Eisenhower and have evacuated Pantelea Island! And he also sent me a telegram saying that if the war situation is unfavorable, Patton and I have the right to evacuate our troops safely!"

Montgomery said unhappy and unwillingly.

"This...when we really retreat, how should we retreat? Should we retreat according to the original landing location? Commander!"

After hearing this, Andri, the combat staff member, was stunned for a moment and asked quickly.

"It's safe and it's convenient for us to land on the boat, so just retreat there!"

"Also I want to know how the troops on Patton are now progressing? Have they encountered the German army like us, or are they fighting?"

Montgomery waved his hand and said with a sharp look.

"They were also plotted by the German army, and they are now fighting hard with those German troops! And I heard that there were many casualties! The situation is not optimistic!"

Operational Staff Andri reported on what he knew.

"Well! What is the German army they encountered? How many people are there?"

Upon hearing this, Montgomery said in surprise.

"It is Hitler's most elite SS unit, and the most elite SS units. It has at least about 60,000 troops, and it is also an elite legion equipped with many new weapons!"

Operational Staff Andri continued to report with a slightly sympathetic expression.

"No! I didn't expect that there was someone worse than us! I actually encountered Hitler's most elite SS troops. It seems that the 15th Armored Division we are facing now and Hermann's troops are not the worst!"

After hearing this, Montgomery actually smiled like a gloating smile and said with a smile.

"Yes! This is such a pitiful army! It seems that their battle is really not easy to fight!"

Operational Staff Andri also sighed with a full face.

You are really miserable in this world, but there are people who are even worse than you.

"It's so miserable! Commander Montgomery! The German army launched a general attack! They are surrounding us and preparing to encircle us and wipe out all!"

At this moment, another combat staff member ran to their side in fear without a bloody face, sweating profusely, and with gunshot wounds on his body, shouted in fear.

"What! Why did they suddenly launch a general attack!"

Upon hearing this, Montgomery shouted in horror.

"Kill! Crash!"

"Da da da! Da da da! Da da da!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

But his horror was soon covered by the charge of thousands of German soldiers and the dense sound of guns and cannons.

With the huge cover of artillery fire and the support of the Air Force aircraft, the 15th Panzer Division, Hermann Goring Division and other German troops braved the artillery fire and gunfire of the British and American troops. On the suffocating and thick smoke-filled battlefield, they rushed towards the defensive front of the British and American troops like a tide and burrowed.

Rows of German soldiers wearing World War II German helmets seemed to be desperate and retreating British and American troops were constantly gunfire and even fought hand-to-hand combat with bayonets.

At the same time, those tank troops were also advancing and encircling and annihilation under the cover of anti-aircraft artillery fire.

For a moment, the entire battlefield was attacked by the German army, burning a scene of hell filled with smoke, fires soaring into the sky, and corpses everywhere.

"Quickly ask me for air support from the air force, we must evacuate immediately! Don't fight these lunatics! Hurry!"

Faced with the German army's general attack like a wolf, Montgomery did not immediately order his troops to fight to the death with the other side, but immediately decisively issued a cover for the Ministry of Aviation to retreat, temporarily avoiding the German army's general attack.

When Montgomery began to panic and issued an evacuation order, Goodrian personally led his troops to join the SS troops who were fighting fiercely with Patton, and the troops who besieged Patton.

Because Guderian had received the combat order from Chen Yanlong to him, requiring him to lead all troops on Sicily to wipe out one or two British and American divisions before night, or even more troops.

So Guderian went to fight himself because he also wanted to deal with these British and American troops severely.
