Chapter 64

The military power of a country is originally a system, and a complete system will exert its strongest strength. But when a link in the entire system falls off or is destroyed, the losses it comes in will be as heavy as unacceptable.

"Hawkeye" - reconnaissance/command airship, the action and command of ground troops, air firepower, and ground support firepower are adjusted and integrated with the acquisition of battlefield information, thereby forming a powerful combat capability. On the battlefield, the attack or suppression of "Hawkeye" - reconnaissance/command airship will often lead to a sharp decline in the situation of the entire war.

Italy is facing such a problem at this moment. Their air force is even stronger than that of the US military. After all, all the US fighter jets, including the British fighter jets on the Island of Malta, cannot be compared with the Seraph Piston fighter attack aircraft they imported from the Chinese Federation. The maneuverability and fighting ability often make the US fighter jets survive in the air for no more than one week. Although the pilot's casualties are much smaller than in the past due to the existence of the catapult system. However, the losses of the aircraft forced the British and US military to transport a large number of fighter jets here.

On the battlefield of World War II, the equipment elimination and update speed was too fast. When all participating countries felt this pain, they finally understood why, with the scientific and technological research capabilities of the Chinese Federation, they would repeatedly improve Feidi, and have been used for more than ten years without large-scale updates. Now, after the Chinese Federation declared war, the second-generation D/A4 Hell Eagle fighter attack aircraft and D-3 ghost fighter jets appeared on the Japanese battlefield, they discovered that they were about to be the most advanced jet fighter jets in Europe and the United States. They had not yet been equipped on a large scale and were already behind when compared with the Chinese Federation fighter jets.

This shows that the arms research and production institutions around the world were once again fooled by the Federation of China! At this time, when the war began, the Federation of China began to export Feidi-z and Lei Gong-z in full, which was not like everyone cheering in the early stages of the war, but was unanimously denounced the arms merchants of the Federation of China as the largest profiteer in the world.

Now I understand that it was already evening, and those old-fashioned equipment had already taken away too much money from the participating countries. For example, the French army, who used Feidi-z and Thunderbolt to re-equip them with tanks. When North Africa faced the joint attack between Italy and Spain, it still had the ability to resist, but now it has completely lost the means of confrontation.

It is necessary to mention here that North Africa's "Thunder International", which once went to peacekeeping at the invitation of France, has all retreated to their main base in Europe, "Gibraltar". What makes European and American governments happy is that "Thunder International" has not declared war on them like the Chinese Federation, and "Thunder International" is still neutral. This is the puzzle in the international community today. Everyone feels that there are a pair of hands manipulating the whole world. But there are many different opinions on who these hands belong to.

In the early morning, the Seventh Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Omar Nelson Bradley, stationed in Palermo, began to launch an attack along the coastal highway after receiving a lot of supplements. Before that, groups of transport aircraft were dragging the "meteorite" airdrop compartment and appeared in the sky. In World War II, no country used fixed-wing gliders in any airdrop combat. After all, compared with the generally low-powered "meteorite airdrop compartment", the safety factor of the gliders was too low.

Today's meteorites are equipped with batteries and miniature wingtip rockets, and their fuel is fixed in a small container at the top of the wing, which makes it look quite like a helicopter. Especially when landing, electricity and wingtip rockets can provide enough power to slow down its descent speed to a safe indicator. The number of layoffs is comparable to the "meteorites" in the past.

The soldiers of the British "Special Assault Brigade" were in these cabins. As usual, the airborne soldiers were joking and singing under the leadership of officers before fighting, and poured out the huge pressure that war brought to people's hearts. A meteorite could carry 30 infantrymen, or several jeeps and a self-propelled artillery. Some of the British's views on the field of military equipment are more advanced than the Americans.

For example, in the future "Operation Overlord", they provided many new equipment, such as water and land tanks, but they did not need it for the Chinese Federation with enough "momentum ships" and "sea rushing", and Americans with a large number of "straw sandals" landing equipment, but other European allies needed it. Other equipment was like the ultra-light self-propelled artillery that appeared in meteorites. A "meteorite airdrop cabin" can not only carry one, but also all its gunners and enough ammunition.

This seems to be a bit mythical. The British are not as good as the Chinese Federation playing helium. How do they airborne self-propelled artillery? In fact, this self-propelled artillery is really simple. It is just a 120mm self-propelled mortar installed on the Hummer, or a 107mm rocket launcher, recoilless cannon and other equipment installed on the Hummer.

Even the entire Yellow and Black One "Special Assault Brigade" has similar equipment. An infantry platoon will include one mortar and one recoilless cannon, which will provide sufficient fire cover for the airborne troops. In addition, the infantry also includes some four-wheeled motorcycles and Hummers similar to the "Tortoise Son". Everyone should remember that at the beginning of the war, the Chinese Federation dumped a large number of Hummers that replaced the jeeps of the past to the world.

Although the army like Britain and France, which was not too rich, still retained a large number of military jeeps. However, the US military had already been the Hummers of the Qing Dynasty. After all, compared with the jeeps in the past, this type of car had greater power and better protection. With this type of car alone, the Federation of China dumped about 800,000 vehicles into the world. Not only did it supply all the allies, but also all the Axis powers.

Just like the British "Special Assault Brigade", it is actually a light force that uses Hummers and can airborne a variety of tasks. This time their mission captures and occupys some strategic points for the US Army commanded by Lieutenant General Omar Nelson Bradley to quickly pass the coastal highways and advance quickly.

Before they arrived at the airborne location, the air fleet in which Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey, who was personally in charge, had begun to strike the Italian defense line along the side of the ocean. While attacking, the fighter planes on the Italian naval fleet also broke into the sky in one nest. For Italy, Sicily was a battle of life and death. If this was lost, the Italian boots would inevitably fall into the hands of the Allies. For Mussolini, losing Sicily might mean that he would lose everything, even his life!

The huge air warships of the US Navy's Mediterranean Fleet were like a large group of floating clouds. The four "sentinels" - reconnaissance/command/electronic warfare airships were fully powered and battlefield intervention operations were carried out over Sicily. The former radio interference was at its peak. Radio communication was almost completely cut off at this time. Compared with the US military with more advanced electronic technology in Italy, it had a secret special channel for communication. The attacked Italian troops raised their "disc air defense capsules" while being attacked.

The flashing light conveyed information to the distance. As the information arrived, more seraphic angels, Saraph's piston-type combat attack aircraft, took off from near Messina, and headed straight to the battlefield in the air.

At this time, we approached Sicily at an extremely low altitude. At this time, the US Mediterranean fleet suddenly jumped into the air and launched an attack on the southern Italian army on both sides of the highway. The "Needle Tip Series" and "Paving Stone Series" TV-guided gliding bombs were thrown from the "Washington-class Flying Winged Air Warship". From the air warships, we can see the large flashes of those bombs when they exploded on the ground.

These shining points line up along the highway, making the entire coastal road as eye-catching as a beautiful ribbon with diamonds.

"This is really beautiful, isn't it? It's a pity that this is the beauty with death!"

Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey said this very emotionally. This surprised his three adjutants because this guy rarely said these emotional words. Sure enough, the next sentence turned into a "Bull Halsey"-like roar.

"Note, we were attacked!"
