Heavy rain rained for three days and three nights after Romei II captured Rome.

When Rome II received the American Avalanche operation and won the victory with the German army, he ordered his artillery unit to gather more than 500 cannons and fire tens of thousands of shells to attack the remnants of the Italian Resistance near Rome.

At this time, Rommel also received Chen Yanlong's request for him to send troops to rescue Mussolini.

Because according to the original historical records: "In July 1943, when he drove to the King's Savoia Palace to meet the King of Italy, he was dismissed from his post by his son-in-law, Marshal Bardolio, and former Foreign Minister Piano and others, together with the King of Italy in marshal uniforms.

and was intercepted by the palace guards of the King of Italy and brought to a white ambulance painted with a red cross; A group of heavily armed guards sitting inside were arrested and became prisoners.

At the same time, at 10:45 p.m. on the same day, Italian radio published a press release: "The king has approved the resignation of His Excellency Benit Mussolini, head of government, and appoints Marshal Podro Bardoglio to replace him." “

The news immediately spread throughout Italy, and soon people all over Italy poured into the streets with cheers to celebrate Mussolini's ouster and their eagerness to end the war.

When Mussolini was arrested, he was taken to the gendarmerie quarters on Corincino Serra Street for about an hour, and then to the police quarters on Via Ingnano.

On the second day, Mussolini was transferred by cart to Gaetta, southeast of Rome, and then secretly transferred to Ponta Island, a small island in the Bay of Gaeta halfway between Rome and Naples.

Finally, he was taken to the island of La Madarena, where the naval base was built, 5 km north of Sardinia, where he was imprisoned in a mansion called the Karen Hill.

And the news of this address was found out by Captain Skozenu, a fellow Hitler countryman.

At this time, Captain Skozenu was following Chen Yanlong's order to lead the 90 elite pilots selected by the 7th Airborne Regiment, and more than 10 experienced spy experts, together with more than 130 commandos of Skozenu, to form a capable commando team, which was coming to Rome, Italy on 12 "DFS-C1" gliders towed by "Lufthansa" light aircraft, preparing to ask Rommel for some air support, and then set off to rescue Mussolini.

Located 120 km northeast of Rome, the Great Sasso is the highest peak in the Apennines. On the mountainside, almost 2,000 meters above sea level, there is a General Camp Hotel, where Mussolini is imprisoned.

The hotel is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and only one side is connected to the village valley below the mountain by cable car, and the natural environment is very steep, so it can be said that it is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.

Moreover, a large number of Italian troops were stationed here, if the Germans made a hard break; There will definitely be heavy casualties, and even if they attack Xianxian, Mussolini will be shot and killed by the Italian army.

Therefore, in order to prevent Mussolini from escaping, the King of Italy and others spent a lot of effort to calculate him and the German troops who might come to the rescue.

Fortunately, in the original history, Hitler relied on the shrewdness and stratagery of Captain Skozenu to achieve the rescue victory.

So this time, Chen Yanlong still entrusted him with the task of rescuing Mussolini, and also asked generals such as Rommel and Kesselring to fully mobilize troops, as well as aviation units and elite paratroopers, and Ali assisted the other party in the combat operation to rescue Mussolini.

The reason why Chen Yanlong also planned to send personnel to rescue Mussolini was because he planned to use the rescued Mussolini as a puppet to control Italy.

However, after Chen Yanlong sent Captain Skozenu to lead the special attack team to set off, he was also a little nervous, and he didn't know if the other party could successfully rescue Mussolini like the original history.

However, in case Mussolini had something unexpected, Chen Yanlong, who had returned to the Berlin Chancellery, was also thinking quickly about what he should do next.

Because the Battle of Sicily, and the Avalanche launched by the American army, it was officially over, and it was also the German army under his command that was victorious; Therefore, he also had to think about the post-war strategy and a new course of action.
