Chapter 413 Just wait for the commander of the head of state
At 3:55 a.m., eight British and American battleships and eight cruisers were all at a distance of more than 10,000 meters from the Bay of Salerno, using radar to control all naval guns to target the entire port city, and then launch a volley.
Hundreds of shells flew in the night sky as if they had eyes, densely shot down the entire Bay of Salerno.
Covered by artillery fire, loud noises were shaking throughout the Bay of Salerno.
Soon all the cities and villages in the Bay of Salerno were filled with fire, thick smoke rolling, howlings, screams, and fears came one after another, and the waves became more and more heart-warming and frightened.
However, the shells of the British and American fleets were still ruthlessly bombing every corner of the Salerno Bay like a storm, as if they were to razing the entire Salerno Bay to the ground.
And the most shocking thing is that the shells fired by the British and American fleets were all large-caliber shells such as 400 mm and 350 mm. As for those 150 to 200 mm shells, they only fired a few thousand rounds and then stopped.
"Beat! Fight me hard! Be sure to annihilate all the German and Italian troops on the Bay of Salerno and blow them up to death; so that our landing troops will suffer less casualties, and it is best to successfully land safely!"
Admiral Mark Wayne Clark, standing in the aircraft carrier command room, stared excitedly and shouted happily.
Even when he was excited, he waved his hands to vent his inner excitement. The combat staff officer Thompson and the aircraft carrier captain Edward also echoed from time to time.
When they were fascinated by the use of naval guns and bombarded the entire Bay of Salerno with dense artillery fire; in the ancient city of Pompeii Wei, the six-barrel rocket launchers of these Lebrevvres had calibers of 150, 180 and 210 mm, and even 300 mm calibers.
The combat power of these rocket launchers is very powerful, with a range of 6,900 meters. It is one of the weapons and equipment that the British army fears the most, because 70% of the British troops are killed and injured by these rocket launchers.
In addition to these rocket launchers, various types of artillery such as bee self-propelled artillery, Bumblebee self-propelled artillery, 105mm heavy artillery, 150mm heavy artillery, 100mm heavy artillery, 150mm infantry artillery, 88mm anti-aircraft guns, and 37mm anti-aircraft guns are also equipped.
However, during this time of the artillery fire attack in the ancient Pompeii counterattack, Chen Yanlong gave Wei Tingguofu the most second-level general, the 6-barrel rocket launcher, with a total of 10,000 and sufficient ammunition.
The reason Chen Yanlong did this was because the Germans were not only able to develop and produce these 6-barrel rocket launchers themselves, but also had very cheap energy points for exchange, so he planned to replace the weapons and equipment that exceeded the era with quantity. Moreover, the shelling power of these 6-barrel rocket launchers was definitely not weaker than heavy artillery. Moreover, in the original history, they showed great power and showed their style in the Battle of Normandy, and they also called the "Screaming Minnie" and believed that if the Germans had not owned this rocket launcher, they would have been crippled by British and American troops in Normandy.
"Quick! Everyone move quickly! The British and American landing forces have launched inhumane naval gun bombardment in the Bay of Salerno. If we don't deploy these artillery positions quickly, if we arrive at us, we will not be able to kill them or kill them and wipe them out!"
When Salerno Bay was bombarded by storm-like ship guns, the artillery regiment commander Long Demer also rushed his subordinates to quickly complete the construction and construction of the artillery position.
Although they had arrived here in advance according to Chen Yanlong's order and carried out certain defensive positions and artillery positions and other defensive fortifications, because the second-level general of Wei Tingguofu asked them to establish more artillery positions and more hidden positions, they still had to continue to build these hidden artillery positions.
"Yes! Captain Karenle is right! Everyone move quickly. In order to avenge the civilians who died in Salerno Bay, everyone move quickly!"
When the artillery commander Long Demer finished speaking, his deputy Roger quickly agreed.
The artillery regiment commander Long Demer was very satisfied, so they both loudly urged the German artillery work, and personally checked the installation location of the 6-barvl rocket launchers, as well as the ammunition and sufficient work.
At this time, in a secret airport near the border between Italy and Germany, Marshal Kesering was wearing an air force marshal's uniform and stood at the airport accompanied by several air force combat staff.
In front of him were 200 Ar-234 jet bombers, and a large group of mechanics and logistics personnel were checking the pre-war performance of each aircraft.
Of course, those German pilots were also carefully checking whether the equipment and fuel performance issues of the plane they were about to fly were qualified and safe.
"His Excellency Marshal! The US aircraft carrier fleet has begun shelling in the Bay of Salerno. Should we send a group of jet bombers to deal with them now? Or will they wait until they complete the landing operation?"
Air Force Operations Staff Nikola asked a little warily.
"Waiting for the order of the Head of State!"
Keselin responded nervously with satisfaction.
"Ah! No! Didn't the Head of State fight against the British and American fleets in Sicily with Marshal Dunitz's aircraft carrier fleet? How did he know the situation of the battle in the Bay of Salerno?"
Nicholas, the Air Force Operations Staff, said in surprise after hearing this.
"Did you forget the intelligence capabilities of the newly established intelligence department of the Head of State? If the Head of State does not know the movements of the British and American troops, how could he arrange our aviation troops to deploy here to wait for combat orders, and arrange for Weitingguofu to deploy a large number of troops to set up large-scale ambush positions in the ancient city of Pompeii, and prepare to wipe out these invading British and American troops in one fell swoop!"
Marshal Keselin asked with a smile.
"This...you're right! The intelligence capabilities of the head of state's intelligence department are really powerful!"
After hearing this, Nikola, the Air Force's combat staff, was stunned and stunned. "So now we only need to prepare 400 jet bombers and pilots, and wait quietly for the head of state's combat order! And even if the head of state forgot about our battle situation for other reasons, he also gave me the power to take the opportunity to fight on his own when the battle situation is urgent, and to mobilize troops and flexibly and flexibly!"
Keselin smiled again and added, "The Head of State is so smart! Even the retreat night is ready. I was so arrogant and worried about launching the bombing of the jet. I am so ashamed!"
Hearing this, Air Force Operations Staff Nicholas looked red and said embarrassedly.
Chapter completed!
