That night, Major General Alan indeed organized two battalions to launch a tragic attack on the highlands... The reason why it was called a "tragic" rather than a "harsh" attack was because the US offensive could not pose a threat to the Enna Highlands at all.

Major General Allen's idea may be correct. Without firepower or terrain advantages, if he wants to take down the high ground, he can only rely on the cover of the night.

The problem is that Ye Zhan is more inclined to the party with good quality, because soldiers with good quality can consciously form tacit understanding with their comrades. Needless to say, they can cooperate and cooperate with their comrades around them without seeing.

On the other hand, the poor quality needs to use gestures, commands, etc. to complete coordination. In case of chaos, accidental injury is inevitable.

The US military obviously belonged to the latter, so the attack of the two battalions could only leave a pile of corpses in front of the high ground.

Patton didn't understand what was going on. He once thought that the 1st Infantry Division was not firm in combat, and at the same time he believed that the only small German troops on the Enna Highlands were only small units.

Because the Third Division of the Left Wing had advanced 80 kilometers in two days, the British army's advance speed was even more amazing. They advanced 110 kilometers and killed them at the cost of 300 casualties, injured more than 6,000 people, captured 23,000 enemies, seized 67 cannons, and destroyed 28 tanks.

Of course, most of these are the results obtained from the Italian army.

On the other hand, the US military...there were more than 800 casualties in the 1st Infantry Division alone, and what was particularly frustrating was that the 1st Infantry Division was blocked in front of the Enna line of defense.

This situation quickly caught Eisenhower's attention.

"What's going on with the First Infantry Division?" Eisenhower asked.

"General!" Patton certainly had to speak for his troops at this time: "Our supplies are far from meeting the needs of the battlefield. The British army had 80,000 people, 7,000 cars, 200 tanks and 900 artillery landed, and we... until now, only one infantry division and 50 tanks have been landed. All our transportation capabilities are barely enough for the combat consumption of front-line soldiers. We dare not even send these 50 tanks to the battlefield because we have not yet reserved enough combustion and ammunition for them!"

Of course Eisenhower also knew the difference between the objective conditions between the British and American armies, but he still criticized: "This is not the reason, Joe! As you reported, the progress of the unpopular 3rd Infantry Division was very smooth!"

Just when Patton didn't know how to explain, the staff officer handed Patton a photo.

Patton took a casual look, then widened his eyes and asked, "Where did you find it?"

"Enna, General!"

"Are you sure it's Enna?"

"Yes, General!" The staff officer replied: "It's certain!"

"Ike!" Patton said to Eisenhower on the other end of the phone with the photo: "Do you know what our pilots have found?"

"What?"

"A tank, a tank that is on fire!" said Patton.

Eisenhower didn't understand what Patton meant. It was not normal for a tank that caught fire on the battlefield.

Then Patton explained: "The difference is that this is a No. 4 tank hidden in the forest... It is obviously a firebomb that was unfortunately dropped by our bomber! I think this is why the 1st Infantry Division was unable to advance half a step in Enna!"

"You mean..."

"Yes!" Barton replied: "I think they hid the armored forces in Enna, not what we think is Palermo or Messina! This means... the main force of the Germans is in Enna, and I believe that the 1st Infantry Division is definitely not a small force!"

Eisenhower certainly knew the importance of this matter, so he replied: "I'll send the photo here right now!"

On the other hand, Qin Chuan received a call from Colonel Slein.

"Things are not good!" Colonel Slain said: "We have a tank No. 4 exposed. There happened to be a reconnaissance plane over the air at the time of the incident. We have reason to believe that the enemy already knows that we are hiding the tank near Enna!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help frowning. If the enemy suspected that the main force of the German army was in Enna and made adjustments, the German army's raid plan might not only go bankrupt, but the enemy would also surround Enna from all directions in the middle.

"What is General Rommel's plan?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Many people think we should launch an attack in advance, but General Rommel thinks we should wait!" Colonel Slain said: "He thought the conditions for our raid are not yet ripe, and at least we have to wait for a day!"

Qin Chuan agreed, mainly because the British army had not entered the Etna area and it was difficult for German infantry to entangle them in flat areas.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan said, "We may be able to do this..."

At the Allied Command, Eisenhower had just received aerial photos sent by Patton, and immediately handed them to Montgomery.

"Aren't we always looking for German armored divisions?" Eisenhower said: "I think we found it!"

"Where?" Montgomery's eyes lit up: "Palermo?"

"No, we discovered it in Enna!"

"Enna? This is impossible!" Montgomery couldn't help laughing: "If they put the armored division there, they would only be surrounded by us. In fact, Enna is already surrounded by us!"

"Maybe you're right!" Eisenhower said: "But have you ever thought that the Germans will likely launch a counterattack against us?"

"Counterattack? As far as we know, the Germans had only two infantry divisions in Sicily, one armored division and one mechanized infantry division!" Montgomery said: "The two infantry divisions are already in front of us, and Enna is likely to have a mechanized infantry division. Then, the Germans were only one armored division left. Do you think it is enough to launch a counterattack against us?"

"I don't know!" Eisenhower said: "But we should always believe this..."

"Ike!" said Montgomery: "It's just a German tank!"

"But it is a No. 4 tank!" said Elinhower: "The main tank of the Germans!"

"General!" At this time, a staff officer handed a photo to Montgomery and said, "Our reconnaissance plane took a short time ago!"

"Where did you take it?" asked Montgomery.

"Enna, General!"

Montgomery was stunned. After observing the tank, a smile gradually appeared on his face.
