"Major General!"

The first telegram Zhang Chi received for inquiry was from Patton, and his tone seemed very relaxed and surprised.

"What happened?" Patton said: "The two German divisions have moved to the Eastern Front and launched a fierce attack on the British army. How did you do it?"

"Oh! Is that right?" Zhang Chi replied in surprise: "The Germans have actually transferred to the Eastern Front? I thought they were still ready to attack us at any time outside the city!"

When Barton saw this telegram, he couldn't help but smile. He believed that this Chinese major general didn't know that the Germans had transferred.

But of course, I have to say that, because these military telegrams will be kept in the bottom line, and Montgomery even has the right to check it out, so Patton can understand this.

So Patton simply accompanied Zhang Chi to the end, and he called back: "Oh, don't you know yet? The Eastern Front has been in trouble, and the British can hardly hold on!"

"It's so regretful!" Zhang Chi replied: "I hope the British can overcome this difficulty!"

"Yes!" Patton couldn't help laughing: "I hope so!"

Patton likes this result, to be precise, he likes this result very much.

In fact, even if Patton guesses, he can guess how this Chinese major general did this. Of course, it is related to the 500 transport planes transferred to Algiers by the US military. At the same time, Patton also knew that the Chinese troops stationed in Algiers were also "moved" to the airport... If the two were linked, fools knew that this would create an assumption for the Germans to airborne the Chinese troops.

So, after careful consideration, the Germans could only transfer the two elite troops surrounding Palermo to the eastern front, which was the direction of the British.

Thinking of this, Patton admired this Chinese major general from the bottom of his heart... This situation in front of him seemed very unfavorable to the US military, and it could almost be said to have made Patton and all American soldiers angry but helpless. However, this Chinese major general solved it lightly, not only solved it but also taught the British a cruel lesson.

Now, the US military can be said to have completely taken the initiative... Now we just need to wait for Montgomery to come and ask for help.

Moreover, Montgomery was afraid that he would never dare to suppress the US military in order to pick the fruits of victory. After all, he had something to ask for and even had something to do with the life and death of the British Eighth Army. Patton did not believe that Montgomery dared to violate military common sense and act arbitrarily.

From this point of view, all the losses of the British army were actually caused by Montgomery. If he had commanded for the sake of fighting, he would not have made these low-level mistakes at all, the situation on the battlefield would not have become so bad.

Sure enough, Montgomery called Patton in a short while.

"General!" Montgomery said anxiously on the phone: "I hope the Seventh Army can advance quickly, attack the German rear and form an encirclement of the German army. You know, the German army is launching a fierce attack on us!"

"Yes, General!" Patton was a little proud, because this means that the US military can harvest victory without any restraint.

What else is ahead of the US military?

All four German divisions were in the east, and all the Italian troops were blocked in front of the US military were Italian troops that were not good at seeing or using. All the US military had to do was advance and count the prisoners and take over the city.

After putting down the phone, Patton couldn't help but say: "Well done, General Zhang Chi... If there is another next time, I would rather give up an American division than give up you!"

On the other side, Montgomery was dejected like a defeated rooster. Perhaps it was more appropriate to describe him by the word "suffered" because he always attached great importance to the image and was calm, but at this time he didn't even notice that his military cap was being tilted.

No wonder Montgomery was like this. The British army reported the situation very badly. As the commander, Montgomery didn't even know where his troops were... Many British troops lost the radio station when they fled or had no time to contact Montgomery, because the enemy's tanks followed them, and if they had a little stay, they might fall into the enemy's encirclement.

"General!" reminded the staff member: "Even if the US Seventh Army advances forward or even attacks the Germans from behind, it is afraid that the situation will not improve the war... The Germans' attack speed is too fast. When the Americans arrived, they are afraid that the Eighth Army has already..."

"I know!" Montgomery interrupted the staff officer: "So we must keep it! It only takes one or two days to hold on... and we can form a double-sided attack on the Germans with the American army!"

"General..." The correspondent reported to Montgomery a few meters away: "Contact with the 26th Division!"

Montgomery hurriedly dropped a group of staff and walked to the radio station, and sent a telephone to Major General John, the commander of the 26th Division, saying, "Tell me how bad the situation is!"

"It's bad, general!" Major General John replied: "Our team was completely defeated. I don't know where they went, died or escaped into the jungle and hid... I only had more than five thousand people around me, many of them were scattered soldiers from other troops!"

When Montgomery heard this, he couldn't help but feel a "splitting" in his heart. There were only more than 5,000 people left in a division. Does that mean that more than half of the casualties have been killed or killed?!

Montgomery didn't dare to think too much, and immediately ordered: "Listen, Major General! Try to gather all the troops, and then command them to retreat to the east coast, and build a line of defense with the sea... Our navy and air force will provide you with fire support, and they will destroy everything that is trying to approach your enemies, do you understand?"

"Yes, General!"

Although John answered this way, he was not optimistic.

Montgomery's method seems to be feasible, because the US military used this method to block the enemy's attack when it was attacked by the German army.

But John knew that there was a difference between the two: the US military was prepared to fight, and the navy and air force were fully ammunition, and shells and bombs could pour towards the enemy like raindrops.

However, the British army was chased by the German army and retreated towards the sea, and there was no time to build a defense line. As for the ammunition of the Navy and Air Force, most of them were unloaded when they landed in the Port of Syracuse, so the Navy and Air Force also responded hastily.

What's worse is...

John looked at the sky, and the sunset was about to fall to the sea level.
