Although other islands in another time and space have always been controlled by the Allies, it does not mean that the current time and space will be so stable.

Not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one, Yang Fan had completely grasped the command of the Allied Forces in the North African War Zone, and made a quick decision to launch a plug-in on the evening of February 22.

After the system bought a "insurance", the submarine force ordered the submarine force to send more than 1,500 engineers, more than 50 medical staff, an anti-aircraft artillery regiment, a 2,000-person reinforced infantry regiment, and more than 2,000 British troops to the Malta Islands in all directions.

At the same time, Yang Fan also distributed a large amount of food, ammunition, anti-aircraft guns, mortars, communication equipment, construction equipment, generators, oil, cement, steel bars and other weapons and equipment and supplies.

After this wave of powerful reinforcements, the Malta Islands suddenly became vibrant, especially with the Hu Ben Army engineers, who could be called infrastructure madmen, in just one or two days, under the bombing of the German and Italian Air Force, a large number of fortifications were urgently repaired and reinforced.

With the newly added thousands of new forces and a large number of weapons and equipment, the defense of the Malta Archipelago was greatly strengthened at once.

Otherwise, according to the German and Italian coalition forces are determined to win today, the Malta Islands will be really hanging.

In an underground air defense command room in Malta, Yu Xueli, the commander of the Huben Army, Bai Liang, the commander of the Huben Army's engineer, Peng Liang, the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery, the commander of the British Major General Limus, the chief of staff Daniel and others were gathered together to discuss defense matters.

"Sir, please see, this is the sand table model of the island of Malta."

Daniel stood in front of the sand table and introduced the terrain and existing defense system of Malta in English. A translator of the Hu Ben Army was simultaneously interpreting:

"The main island of Malta is 246 square kilometers, with steep and straight coasts on the west coast and deep water bays on the east coast. The island is mainly coral limestone highlands, with high cliffs, caves and valleys in the north, and highlands in the south..."

Yu Xueli, Bai Liang and others have been on the island for two days and have a general understanding of the situation in the Malta Islands.

But after all, time is rushed. They have been working hard for the past two days to strengthen the existing defense system, and they have no time to wander around.

In addition, the Malta Islands are currently under the north-south attack of the Axis troops, and a large number of German and Italian combat aircraft groups come to visit every day, carrying out bombardment of various sizes.

Even if they are interested in field investigation and surveying, it is not that easy, so now they have to rely on the British guards to explain and watch the sand table model to understand it in detail.

"Old Bai, the infrastructure task of your engineering troops is very arduous this time. We not only have to resist the bombing of the German and Italian coalition forces, but also have to resist their landing and attack. The terrain is so complex!"

After listening to the careful explanation of the British Chief of Staff, Yu Xueli frowned even tighter.

Bang bang bang bang!

It seemed to be confirming Yu Xueli's words. As soon as he finished speaking, a dull explosion sounded from his head, and then the rock layer on the roof began to fall from dust, and the chandelier on his head shook violently.

Although this underground command post is several meters deep from the ground, it can still clearly feel the violent power of the heavy bomb, as if it will be blown up by accident.

He looked up and took a few glances, slap the flying dust with his hands, Bai Liang said with a smile:

"Hehe, it's not normal to have difficulties. As our chief officer often says, as long as our thoughts don't fall apart, there are always more ways than difficulties. As long as we work together, there is nothing that cannot be done!"

Before coming, Bai Liang had some understanding and prediction of the current difficult situation, so naturally he had already prepared mentally and did not feel any headache or fear. At this moment, he was full of fighting spirit and passion.

According to Yang Fan's instructions, the engineering troops landing on Malta Island this time had their primary tasks. One was to assist in strengthening and strengthening other defense systems of the Horse, and the other was to build a cave hangar that could attack and retreat and defend, creating a material foundation for the large-scale entry of the Air Force troops.

In original history, after July 1942, the Battle of Stalingrad broke out on the Eastern Front of Europe and the front line was urgently needed to fight aircraft, so the German Air Force Wing stationed in Italy retreated and flew to the Soviet Union to fight, which gave the other islands a chance to breathe.

Immediately afterwards, the Island of Malta, which was restored to its vitality, dispatched a large number of aircraft and ships, and cooperated with the British fleet that arrived from the Strait of Gibraltar to launch the "Pedestal Battle".

During the entire combat operation, most of the merchant ships of the British fleet were sunk by the German and Italian naval air force, and the Royal Navy also lost a large aircraft carrier, the Eagle.

However, a small number of merchant ships arrived in North Africa brought a large amount of supplies to the British army under Montgomery, laying a good material foundation for the future turning point in North Africa, "Alaman".

By 1943, there were more than 300 combat aircraft, a large number of ships, and sufficient supplies at the air base on the island of Malta.

In sharp contrast, Rommel's German and Italian African Legion suffered heavy losses, lack of oil and supplies, and military supplies were not yet replenished.

Soon, on May 13 of that year, the 250,000 German and Italian African Legions, which had been completely ammunition, were defeated and surrendered under the east and west attacks of the powerful British and American troops, and the North African War was declared over.

However, the fascist nightmare is far from over.

Because, the British and American Allies used Malta Island as a springboard, after full preparation, launched the Battle of Sicily and landed on Italy, forcing Italy to withdraw from the Axis powers first.

But it is obvious that one time and another time, let alone it is impossible to wait until these things fall from the sky. Even if they appear on the original trajectory, Yang Fan will not wait until he has to be self-reliant.

Although he will cause trouble by the German and Italian coalition air strikes and attacks, he will definitely suffer a lot of casualties, so he must do it!

Only by firmly controlling the Island of Malta and building up the defense system and cave airport as quickly as possible can the Island of Malta play a real role.

Only by protecting the Allied Mediterranean transportation routes can we also carry out air strikes on the North African battlefield and attack the Italian transport fleets heading south to North Africa.

Only by cutting off the supply line of the Axis military forces can the Chinese Expeditionary Force win the North African battlefield at the lowest cost and end this protracted world war as soon as possible.

I don’t know how long it took, but the earth-shaking explosion outside finally stopped. After two or three hours of bombing, it finally came to an end.

"Dingling" and the phone in the command post rang.
Chapter completed!
