Capítulo 1202: Chapter 898: Return on Horses and Guns

For this air raid operation, Italy had prepared dozens of transport planes, each able to transport more than 2,000 soldiers at a time.

Given the proximity between Sicily and Malta Island, the Italian descendants planned to transport an entire division's troops to Malta Island in several batches.

As long as they could occupy Malta, even if the British came to their senses, retaking Malta would not be easy.

After all, Italy's Air Force in the Mediterranean was not inferior to that of the United Kingdom and France, and without air superiority, landing on Malta became very difficult.

As soon as it was confirmed that the British Air Force had evacuated, Italy immediately began bombing key facilities on Malta Island.

Naturally, the focus was on the military bases on Malta Island.

Italy was also aware of the number of British troops stationed on Malta. If they could eliminate a portion of the British forces through the air raid, the subsequent paratrooper attack would be much easier.
