Puff puff

After a burst of dust, the soldiers hiding in the trenches also duly took out their guns and fought back a few times, and then shrank back. Because they were not the main firepower on the defensive line, with the MG-16 machine guns and improvements that Germany had previously sold to Austria, and the later purchase of production equipment by Austria-Hungary, the Austrian army also began to equip the Austrian army with this more advanced automatic weapon that it could produce on a large scale.

After the German Wehrmacht took over the troops, it first counted the Austrian reserves and found that there were some deficiencies, so the country also began to design a new infantry weapon, in order to replace the old 1898 rifle and the Austro-Hungarian Manlixia rifle in the hands of the Austrian army. When the new design had not yet come to fruition, Hoffman distributed the only MP16 submachine gun in Austria's inventory to Fritz's 22nd Army, and the tilt of artillery and other weapons was also more obvious, because the coastal areas were easily destroyed by the artillery positions with the support of the Italian Navy, and Hoffman could only hope that the 22nd Army could open a gap in the north, otherwise it would not be easy to break through the Italian defense line from the south.

On the Italian side, the main direction of attack was to the troops with naval support to the south, with a view to taking all of Veneto with naval support.

Germany's rush to start this war without being fully prepared was not a decision in Eric's brain, but in order to avoid the intervention of other countries more likely, deliberately starting a war with a country like Italy at a low ebb in Germany, and even the great powers that Germany sold off its military-industrial system did not worry that Italy would be defeated by the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, but rather the opportunity to draw Germany into a long-term war of attrition.

Just as there were those who, like Churchill, wanted to kill the Germans with a stick, fortunately, the people in power in various countries did not want to start a major war again, or even a local war.

After the German Wehrmacht took over, the front did not move for several days, but Italy attacked in Treviso, which made Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries a little stunned. Germany can't even solve it in Italy? Who else can be threatened? This is not the idea of any one, but the first thought of Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries.

Plans for a war against Italy began simultaneously with Tiradi's help in deploying Austrian defensive lines. Eric was the one who led the plan, and Hoffman was the one who made it. Based on a certain amount of speculation and strength, and the information that Eric could provide, Hoffmann did have several plans, but Germany had never directly fought against Italy, and had hardly regarded Italy as its main adversary. As far as Germany as a whole is concerned, Italy and Germany have a lot in common, the border dispute between Italy and France, Italy and France are also long-standing enemies, and on the issue of the Mediterranean, Italy also has irreconcilable contradictions with Britain. Under the communication between Britain and France, Britain and France will always try to deploy a little more fleets in the Mediterranean than Italy, and if Italy launches one, Britain and France will also launch one after communication, no more, no less than Italy, this practice is undoubtedly forcing Italy into this naval tug-of-war, and whoever is out of touch will be forced to give up most of the rights in the Mediterranean.

However, with the annexation of Austria to Germany, President Eric was hostile to this natural ally, and finally declared a state of war between the two countries, and it was not the Germans who were frightened, but the Italians.

"These arrogant fellows must pay for their actions! This is unforgivable! It is the territory of Italy since ancient times! Don't let anyone get involved! Not even Germany! Mussolini was furious in his office, and instead of infecting the group of army generals standing opposite, the admirals seemed to want to speak up for the Italian navy.

"Why don't you speak?" Mussolini asked with some annoyance, although the navy is indeed stronger than people, but the issue of territorial disputes must not allow warships to go ashore to fight.

"Dear Führer, we can't fight Germany at all now, we lack weapons and equipment, we can't keep up with logistics, and the trade with the British has been stopped, and even the Americans are thinking about reducing the volume of trade, so sooner or later the Germans will hit Rome." The Italian field marshal is not a fool, and he caught Austria off guard by relying on the information revealed by France in a daze, but it does not mean that Austria is easy to bully. If there was only Austria, he was convinced that Italy would win after all, but once Germany was involved, it was completely different, and the two were not in the same order of magnitude at all.

"Idiot, if you can't do it! I'll do it again! Mussolini turned to the people around him and asked, "Whoever can think of a way to repel Germany is my new field marshal." ”

However, no one in the army generals present spoke at all, which shows Mussolini's embarrassment.

"We have millions of people, what are we afraid of? Germany is not a jackal tiger and leopard either! You don't dare, I'll command it myself! "After calling off the army generals, Mussolini planned to command the troops himself, and he was bound to defeat the arrogance of the German-stirring stick, so as not to bully him Mussolini!

30 km north of Trent in the German occupation zone.

Woooooooooooo

With the roar of engines, the vanguard of the 501st Tank Battalion arrived at the intended location, and the next thing to do was to build a large defensive base so that the follow-up troops could rest on the spot when they arrived.

"Corporal, your tanks are driving to their own area, and they are about to be assigned tasks, so don't waste this opportunity." A lieutenant walked up to the tank number A124 with a clipboard and said: "The 501st battalion, the 1st company, the 2nd platoon are 2 kilometers to your right, young man, don't get too excited, it's not a good thing to follow up with your own team, it's not a good thing to fall behind." ”

"Yes, sir, thank you, sir, we'll leave right away." The corporal was the commander of the tank, so he quickly stood up and saluted and thanked him, then squatted down and got into the tank, threw the half-eaten chocolate bar at his driver, and scolded: "You idiot, tell you to look at women, have you lost it?" Shame. We'll have to tell the 123 guys to laugh at us later. ”

"Lesek Blahnik, you should be glad that this machine gun in my hand can't be aimed at you, otherwise you'll have countless holes in your body, idiot." The machine gunner on the side reached out his left hand and slapped it on the driver's helmet.

"Don't make any noise, if the radio is on, it won't be a problem." Signal soldier Hal Lehmann took off his headset and asked Auguste von Marvin, "Do you want to turn on the radio now?" ”

"You idiot, turn on the radio and listen to the platoon commander swearing? Pig brain: Your brain isn't as good as Macie Ellanda's. Marven kicked Lyman with his leather boots.

"He? Can a guy who graduated from a wild school compare to me, a graduate of the Royal School of Saxony? Lehmann was obviously very unconvinced, because the man in the commander's mouth was Macie Ellanda, a Pole who had graduated from unknown places.

While everyone was still arguing about who was the stupidest, Blahnick said, "Marven, it's here," and then said as uncomfortably as if he had eaten a fly, "The guys from 123 are standing at the camp gate watching us." ”

"Hahahaha, damn it, I'm laughing to death, 124 who can get lost behind our butts is definitely the elite of our platoon!" Standing at the gate of the camp with exaggerated movements is Ethan Carter, the commander of the 123 car group, who is Marven's number one "enemy". Because Carter inherited the best genes from both parents, his mother was Danish, and his father was of mixed Danish and German descent. Growing up in Germany, Ethan Carter speaks Danish fluently, with German Chinese as his mother tongue.

"Blahnik, speed up, rush over, crush me!" Marven leaned out of the hatch and shouted at the crew's circuit communication.

"Good! Willing to serve, if something happens, it's mine. Blahnik didn't slow down, and when he heard the captain shout, he immediately increased his speed, forgetting that he must not exceed 10 yards when he entered the 500-meter range of the camp, otherwise he would be punished.

The 124 team drove a Type IIIA tank and could reach a cross-country speed of 30 yards, although the road was not a concrete road, but it was driven to 30 yards under the acceleration of Blahnik.

Just when Blahnik was driving happily, the guard at the entrance of the camp became nervous, because it was not for nothing that the 124 car group rushed to the camp like this, but it did not end well.
