The Allied landing went smoothly, although some chaos occurred... This chaos mainly happened to the US military.

In this regard, the British army is indeed better than the US army. After all, the British army is an army that has fought for several years on the African battlefield. They know that a certain discipline must be maintained on the battlefield, otherwise it is likely to endanger the entire army and even their own lives. This is not a joke, because everyone has only one life.

But many of the U.S. military are recruits, such as the 45th U.S. Division.

It would be fine if it was just a recruit, but at this time the United States had a serious shortage of troops... After all, the total population of the United States was only more than 100 million, and the United States opened up fronts in the Pacific and Europe to fight, which was estimated to require 10 to 20 million troops.

In other words, there is one person in about a dozen people to participate, and there are no elderly, women and children involved.

This will inevitably lead to the deterioration of the source of troops in the later period. The US government has used all kinds of means, such as subsidies, tuition reductions and other means to push the people to the battlefield, and even prisoners serving sentences in prison become the targets of the recruitment... The people who were recruited in the movie "Garrison Expenditures" were murderers, liars, and robbers.

With poor military resources and insufficient training, some incredible situations will inevitably occur.

For example, the 45th Division of the United States was ordered to land on the beach near Scoglitti and advance forward. There was no problem with the two battalions of the vanguard who landed ashore. When they occupied the beachheads and unloaded supplies... These troops, mainly composed of poor and prisoners, were not only unable to unload the supplies on the beachheads in time, but instead began to rob these supplies.

There is no need to say more about the scene. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "completely out of control". The soldiers did not obey the command at all. It was useless for officer Ren to shout loudly and even shoot. They were all in a mess, which was even more chaotic than a hand-to-hand combat. As a result, the troops following behind the 45th Division could not get ashore at all.

It can be imagined that if the enemy launches a counterattack at this time, the 45th US Division will definitely be defeated, which will lead to the failure of the entire US military landing operation.

Fortunately, the Italian army defending the beach was not a disciplined and well-trained force. They were scared to escape long before the US military landed.

Some of these German troops were, but there were only 400 people.

It can be imagined that these 400 people could not play any role in facing hundreds of thousands of landing US troops, aircraft, cannons and warships, so these German soldiers wisely destroyed military facilities and port facilities and fled north.

In the end, the US military only occupied three landing sites with a width of 12 to 15 kilometers and a depth of 3 to 5 kilometers. The US military paid the price to kill 58 people, injured 199 people, and missing 700 people.

Some of these injured people were even caused by looting supplies, and most of them were missing because many people went to the wrong place when fighting in the dark.

The British army was much better than the US army. They captured a landing ground of 100 kilometers wide on the first day and advanced 10 to 15 kilometers forward.

Of course, the achievements of the British army have a lot to do with the better and worse landing environment. As mentioned earlier, the British army captured two large ports, and the facilities of these two large ports were basically not damaged, and the US army almost transported from the beach.

One hour after the US military landed, Patton called Zhang Chi.

"Damn it!" Patton said on the phone: "Major General, I want to know if I can trust your troops!"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Chi asked back.

Because Zhang Chi was unwilling to be under the command of the French army, he replied: "General, we each have their own tasks, right? And... I think the French army is not ready to attack the enemy!"

"No, no..." Patton said: "What I mean by trust is not to attack the enemy, but not to steal things!"

"Don't you steal things?" Zhang Chi was stunned when he heard this. This requirement was too low for an army.

"Yes!" Patton stressed: "As long as you don't grab things, you can... I can no longer trust those guys from the 45th Division!"

At this time, Patton would "seek help" the French army, and there was no way to do so: the US military had allocated their own tasks, but this misunderstanding suddenly occurred in the 45th Division, which almost paralyzed the entire division. Although there was a reserve team, Patton was unwilling to use the reserve team to maintain order and transport materials, so he thought of the French army used to assist the US military in operations.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi replied: "Yes, General, you can trust us!"

At this point, Zhang Chi was completely confident in the Third Army of the Zoafu Corps.

In fact, Zhang Chi even believed that the combat effectiveness of the Third Army was no less than that of any of the Allied forces, but others did not know or could be said to have not been tested.

After putting down the phone, General Zhu An asked Zhang Chi in confusion: "Maintain order and transport supplies?"

General Zhu An was determined to let the French army make some achievements, so he was not willing to let the French army take on this task.

"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied: "Aren't you always complaining that the United States has not given enough equipment?"

"Oh!" General Zhu An couldn't help but realize it suddenly.

Maintaining order is easy for the Zoafu Corps... Although the 45th Division of the United States is in chaos, no one can control it, but that is just because they know that the US military officers dare not take serious action against them. This is a bit like those naughty children. In front of Pang and his parents, they are the biggest, and they often dare not speak out in front of others.

So, without saying a word, Zhang Chi took the Zoafu army to the shore and immediately surrounded the American soldiers who were robbing supplies, and they were armed with guns and ammunition.

The scene of such a lineup became much quieter immediately. Some US troops tried to challenge the Zoafu Corps, gathered a group of soldiers, and also rushed up with guns, shouting:

"Damn it, what are the fun of the French soldiers?"

"Get back to France, this is our territory in the United States!"

...

Zhang Chi ignored them because he knew that there was no reason for these ruffian soldiers.

He only shouted to the Zoafu Corps: "Get out the knife!"

With a crisp sound of "kneel!", the soldiers of the Zoafu Army pulled out their scimitars almost at the same time. The sharp blade emitted a cold light under the moonlight, as if they couldn't wait to drink blood.

The chaotic US military was shocked by this scene on the spot.

If you dare not shoot at random against friendly forces, then there will be no problem with this, because if used properly, the knife can completely prevent people from being injured and not being killed...
