Chapter 275: Raid (1)

The Italians not only replaced all the old Manlicia-Carcano TS M1891 carbines that fired 6.5mm rifles with the old Manlicia-Carcano M1938 rifles that fired more powerful German 7.9mm Mauser rifles, but also added a large number of Beretta 38 submachine guns and Breda 30 6.5mm light machine guns to increase the overall automatic firepower density of the troops.

Even in order to take care of the concealment of the raid, Mussolini distributed white strips of cloth to all front-line soldiers so that the last bit of the color of their disobedience - the color of the guns - would disappear.

And the reality paid off the efforts of the Italian authorities - all the forward units successfully crossed the Italo-French border and reached the intended point of attack.

Of course, this also had a lot to do with the diligent guidance of dozens of German advisers.

"Mr. Major, I suggest that you better divide your troops into two lines, one from the front, and the other from the flank to sneak up on the back of the French." Robin and the Italian major lay together and looked at the French barracks at the foot of the hill, which was not heavily guarded, and said, "In this way, we can cut off their back roads and destroy their living forces as much as possible." Second, attacking the French in two ways can also disrupt and stun the French, thus reducing our own casualties. ”

"Well, I think you have a point." The Major touched his chin, and then smiled treacherously, "Then, the way of the sneak attack, I bother you to take command." ”

He was very clever and knew very well that the road behind the sneak attack was the most risky, because the French army would be desperately broken back when they were attacked from both sides.

However, how could Robin, a "hand-picked" person from the SS, not know about the little ninety-nine that the major played?

"No problem." Robin patted his chest on the surface and agreed boldly, but in fact, he sneered in his heart, reminding himself that he must pay attention to the cooperation with the Italians in the future.

"Good!" The major was overjoyed, "Then I'll hand over the third battalion to you, and you can lead the team to set off!" ”

He is quite atmospheric, Robin said secretly, according to what he has learned in the past two days, the third battalion is the battalion equipped with the most automatic weapons in this regiment, and basically every squad has one machine gun and two submachine guns.

Aside from anything else, it is at least closest to the regular German army in terms of infantry weapons.

Soon, Robin took more than 600 people from the third battalion on the rugged mountain road and touched the back of the French camp, while the Italian major led the remaining two mountain infantry battalions to quietly approach the main gate of the French army.

The tension before the battle seemed to slow down time, and the usual blink of an eye for more than ten minutes seemed longer than a whole year at this moment.

The soldiers checked their rifles with white cloth in their hands with slightly trembling hands, nervously waiting for their regimental commander to give the order to attack, while their regimental commander waited for Robin's report that he was in position.

After a long time, Robin's magnetic voice finally came from the communications soldier's headphones.

"This is the third battalion, and we have arrived at the intended location." Robin said with a headset in one hand and in his left ear, while holding a telescope in his right hand to observe the patches of French army houses and the people who came and went in and out of them.

"Good." The Major's voice trembled a little, full of nervousness mixed with excitement.

Then he ended the communication, replaced by violent explosions and shouts of killing from the other end of the French camp.

"Stay where you are, and kill all the French who want to pass in front of you!" Robin took a deep breath, he had already seen the French soldiers living at the back of the camp begin to assemble, "The rest of the people, come with me, kill the French!" Come on! ”

As he spoke, he picked up the MP40 in his hand, jumped out from behind a rock, and rushed to the French camp first.

"Rush!" "For the leader!" "Long live Italy! Long live Rome! The Italian soldiers let out the same roar, guns in hand, rushed out of the hiding bunker, and followed Robin towards the assembled French troops a hundred meters away.

The distance of 100 meters was simply short for them from high to low, and after a few seconds, Robin slowed down and held up the MP40 to pull the trigger on a group of French soldiers who were staring blankly at him before he could react.

"Da Da~" MP40 shook violently, and the shell throwing port quickly threw out countless bullet shells that exuded a "golden yellow charming halo", while the muzzle flashed fire while shooting out 9mm warheads carrying huge kinetic energy.

Blood mist continued to erupt from the chests of the French soldiers, and with a dull "poof" sound, more than a dozen soldiers fell to the ground.

The bright red blood slowly stained the white snow the same color as the clothes of the French soldiers.

The rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute quickly left the MP40 magazine in Robin's hand empty.

Hearing the familiar "click", Robin quickly rolled on the spot, hid behind a rock, pulled out the empty magazine on the MP40 and threw it aside, then pulled out a full magazine from his chest and reloaded it, pulled the bolt and straightened up again, and opened heavy fire on the French.

Soon, most of the French army, completely exposed to Robin and hundreds of Italian soldiers, was killed, and the remaining 100 or so retreated to the middle of the camp.

Seeing that the French army was routed, the Italian army carried their guns as if in pursuit, but was stopped by Robin.

"Can't chase." Robin said solemnly, "We've got to build a line of defense here!" ”

"Then let the rout go?" A company commander carried his submachine gun and asked suspiciously, "If they join the battle situation on the other end, won't it affect the regiment commander?" ”

"They're a flock of frightened birds now, and we should worry more about ourselves than we should about ourselves." Robin sneered, "Under the surprise attack of our superior forces, the French army must have suffered heavy losses on the other side, if their commander is not dead and his mind is in his right, he will definitely concentrate his forces to open a breakthrough, and we are obviously the best breakthrough here, and at this time, if we go after the remnants, we will definitely run into the breakthrough force - I don't think that with our hundreds of people, we can go head-to-head with three or four thousand French soldiers." ”

"Oh......" The company commander scratched his head, smiled instructively, and then led the way to the side of the road, throwing a bag of sandbags that the French had piled aside as a fence and throwing them in the middle of the road.

Others followed suit, and the tall sandbag wall was quickly torn down and reduced to a makeshift position in the middle of the road.
