At this time, the commander-in-chief in Sicily had also been replaced by Mandofir, and he was also organizing German troops hiding in various underground air raid shelters and hidden air raids to prepare for a counterattack.

At this moment, the remaining troops in Sicily are the 15th Panzer Division, the 14th Panzer Grenadier Division and the newly formed 505th Panzer Division, the 29th Panzer Division, 6 Italian divisions that surrendered to the German army, half of the troops of the Fifth SS Panzer Division (i.e. Viking Division), half of the troops of the Seventh Volunteer Mountain Division (i.e. Prince Eugen Division); half of the troops of the Ninth SS Panzer Division (i.e. Hohenstaufen Division), the 11th SS Volunteer Armored Grenadier Division (i.e. Nordic Division), and the Seventh SS Grenadier Division (i.e. Guz von Berlisingen).

As for Hermann Goring's division, it was transported by Kesselin to the Cassino area for battle early in the morning. However, in order to increase the counterattack power of Sicily, Kesselin also dispatched several armed SSs with good strength to assist in the battle according to Chen Yanlong's combat intentions.

Montgomery and Patton, who were responsible for the main attack on Sicily, were ignorant of this.

Even Alexander, who was in charge of Casino and the winter defense line, and Matthew Bunker Lichwei, the new commander-in-chief of the new 5th Army of the US Army, knew nothing about it.

Of course, including the commander-in-chief of the British and American troops, Eisenhower and General Marshall, have not received any news yet, so they also searched highly vigilantly across Sicily to see if they found the German or Italian troops.

However, the British and American troops that had just landed and completed, did not find many German troops in one day. Although the Italian army had more than two regiments of troops, these Italian soldiers who were found were defeated in one blow, or immediately raised the white flag to surrender to them when they saw the arrival of the British and American troops.

The British and American troops who had successfully landed in Sicily gradually relaxed their vigilance, and even the Great Red First Division commanded by Allen gradually decreased.

"The German Air Force finally appeared! Allen!"

On Sicily, Patton stared at the German planes fighting fiercely in the sky with a military telescope, and said slightly excitedly and bently to the commander of the Dahong First Division beside him.

"Yes! I waited for three days and finally found their traces. I thought the Germans had given up Sicily completely!"

The division commander Alan also looked up at the densely packed German fighter jets in the sky with full fighting spirit and grinned.

As for the division commander Allen's chief of staff, Norman and his deputy, Brigadier General Siodor Roosevelt (son of US President Siodor Roosevelt), they also stared at the air combat situation of the German planes and the British and American air forces, silently.

"Hey! Do you think that Hitler, who is fighting for everything, will really change his character so easily and give up Sicily so easily?"

"This is one of Italy's strategically important islands. Once we break through this place, our troops will continue to enter Italy's mainland and attack Italy!"

"You haven't seen that although we have successfully airborne and transported a lot of troops to Casino and the winter defense line to fight, now there are many troops entering Italy through Sicily, just like Liqiwei's 5th Army Group all entered Italy through Sicily!"

Patton said with a smile.

"Yeah! You're right! Sir!"

"But it is also because of this that I wonder why we have transported so many troops into Italy and occupied almost half of Sicily, but we still haven't found many German troops?"

"Even their aircraft carrier fleet has never appeared again and has lost its trace. I feel that something is wrong with this!"

After Patton finished speaking happily, Siodor Roosevelt expressed his inner thoughts with confusion.

"I want to know too!"

"Maybe they found some hidden place to hide and were caught off guard when they were ready to kill us!"

"Just like when we fought in Sicily last time, weren't they lurking some elite SS men? Maybe this time they did the same!"

Patton sneered when he heard this.

"What should we do then? Should we strengthen our defense and vigilance?"

"Or we'll extend our cordon, and the reconnaissance line? How? Sir!"

After listening, Siodor Roosevelt said solemnly.

"Did you forget the principle of success in combat that I often tell you? No matter what, I hope you can find them as quickly as possible, deal with them, and attack them----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as he finished speaking, Patton immediately smiled confidently.
