Many people were dissatisfied with Allen's First Division. Why did they have advanced equipment and prioritize logistics? They were all in the army, so they were very dissatisfied.

Therefore, when Lieutenant General Brown proposed to let Allen's First Division bear the German attack alone, they all chose to keep silent. Even if someone wanted to raise objections, they didn't dare.

After all, their current boss was Lieutenant General Brown, and it would be bad if they were bullied.

"Sir, the reconnaissance unit has sent back the latest intelligence. The German Hermann Green Armored Division, as well as the 15th and 29th Armored Divisions that have just arrived near the southwest of Mount Etna, are now fighting against our paratroopers. The situation over there is also very serious."At this time, the operations staff took the intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance unit and said seriously:

"How is it possible? How could the Germans have so many troops? Didn't they just say that Allen's First Division was fighting the Germans? How could there be so many troops?"After hearing this news, Lieutenant General Brown couldn't sit still.

"I don't know, but the news from the reconnaissance team confirmed that the Germans were indeed heading to these places."The operations staff shook his head and said.

19"Strange, how many German troops are there? Why do they seem to be coming in an endless stream?" At this time, Lieutenant General Brown's voice changed a little. He really didn't expect that there would be so many German troops here. This was really beyond his expectations.

"Not only that, we found that the Hermann Armored Division was equipped with a number of new tanks, and it is said that the main gun reached 100mm. Our tanks are no match for them at all."The operations staff said another piece of not very good news, which made Lieutenant General Brown's face change drastically.

"Damn it, call the headquarters immediately and ask them to find out how many troops the D Army has. The intelligence department is full of rubbish. They can't even find out this information, bastards."Lieutenant General Brown was indeed panicked. He immediately asked the communications staff to contact the headquarters. He needed to confirm how many German troops were in front of him.

And there were also many German troops fighting with Allen's First Division. He didn't have the courage to attack without finding out how many people there were. The German army was not the Italian army. Even if the Italian army in front of him was several times his, he would not panic. But if the German army in front of him was half of his, he would not order the troops to advance, because the German army and the Italian army were simply a world of difference.

On the other hand, Allen also found something wrong. The number of German troops in front of him seemed to be increasing, which was completely different from the intelligence report.

"Report the current intelligence immediately and let the headquarters find out how many German troops there are."Major General Allen was also very angry and shouted immediately

""Yes!" Soon, Eisenhower received the news and was very annoyed.

Damn it, how many German troops have sneaked into Sicily? And it was not until now that our troops discovered them. Is our intelligence department just for fun? Why did we get the news now?""What has the intelligence department been doing in the past two months? Why is there not a single accurate piece of news?"

Many people are also wondering in their hearts that the intelligence department, which used to be invincible, has now become blind. Now the intelligence they receive must be true, and many of them are false, so they often make mistakes in decision-making. After all, without accurate intelligence, it is difficult for them to make decisions.

"What should we do in this situation? Allen's First Division is fighting an unknown number of German troops, and the situation there is very bad, otherwise they would not ask us for reinforcements."

"The situation is similar for Lieutenant General Brown. A large number of German troops have appeared near Mount Etna. Now they are hesitant and dare not move forward. Who can tell me how to solve these problems?"Eisenhower rubbed his head and looked at everyone.

After this, no one could answer because they didn't know how to answer.

"Commander, there is no good solution at the moment. We can only send more landing troops to support us. Only in this way can we stop the German attack."The operations staff thought about it and made a suggestion

""Your Excellency the Commander, I also think that we should send out support troops.

The situation they are facing right now is not good, and their location is very bad, not far from the Catania Plain.

If German tanks appear on the battlefield, their fate will be miserable.

Moreover, I suspect that German fighters may provide support.

With our current air force strength, we are temporarily unable to resist German fighter planes.

Once German fighter planes appear, they may be wiped out, and our losses will be even greater.

"

Someone analyzed the current situation, and Eisenhower's face became even uglier.

But someone still retorted:"I don't think it should be possible. Although the situation faced by Major General Allen and Lieutenant General Brown is somewhat dangerous, they are not without the ability to fight, especially Lieutenant General Brown. The situation he is facing is not bad, and the overall quality of the legions under his command is still good. At least they fight very hard!"

"Although what you said is very right, the current situation is not like this. If we had occupied Syracuse and Port Augusta directly from the beginning, we might have had a chance to take Mosina directly! In that case, the current situation would be better. It is not like now, which is very passive. We can neither advance nor retreat. We can only wait for the German attack. The strategic initiative is all in the hands of the Germans."Eisenhower shook his head and said

"Forget it. No matter how much we scold them now, we can't change the result. The intelligence department really needs to be rectified. It has not played any role in the past few months. Do you think we should let Vice Admiral Brown 207 withdraw directly to the port and not engage in a head-on conflict with them. Instead, we should choose to temporarily engage in a defensive war to stabilize the situation that is about to collapse?"

Eisenhower made another suggestion. This was something he just thought of. In fact, the original plan was to take over the two major ports in one go, so that the overall strategic initiative would be in their hands, and they would not be as passive as they are now.

According to the intelligence from the navy, the joint fleet of the three navies is already heading towards them, and the air force cannot gain air superiority. There are also a large number of German troops on the ground. The current situation really makes him upset, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.

"Commander, since the D army dared to show up at this time, it means they must have calculated all this. We can only attack now. Other than that, there is no other way."

""Commander, we estimate that there are about 200,000 German troops on the island, including three armored divisions, an airborne division, a mountain division, five infantry divisions, and two divisions of black shirts." At this time, the communications staff came over with a telegram and said seriously.

Hearing this, Eisenhower's jaw almost dropped, his eyes were full of disbelief and surprise.

"How is it possible? How could the difference in the number of people be so huge?"_To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download the Faloo Novel APP!
