Wooden-handled grenades! When Amor saw the object under his feet, he was immediately taken aback, and almost without any hesitation, he bent down, picked up the grenade, and threw it at it.

There is no doubt that this grenade, absolutely thrown from above, and now, he can only throw it back as fast as he can!

In the dazzling sunlight, Amor saw this grenade fly up the hillside with a graceful arc, and he was able to become an infantry member in the armored division, his physical fitness was good, and his actions when facing danger released his potential.

The grenade did fly up, but when it hit the hillside, it rolled down again!

What a damn one! Amor didn't have time to throw it out a second time, and as soon as he turned around, he hid behind a rock, followed by a loud bang.

Countless pieces flew over his head, and at this moment, he thought he was going to die.

Luckily, he was unscathed!

At the same time, this explosion also means the arrival of a fierce battle!

Amor put his rifle on the stone and began to aim in the direction of the top of the hill, ready to fire.

"Da-da-da-da." At this time, just above their heads, the sound of machine guns had already sounded, and with the sound of gunfire, the Italian troops, who were climbing up the hillside, fell in an instant.

Of course, not all of them were knocked down by bullets, some people fell because they slipped their feet after hearing the gunshots, and some people wanted to find out if there was any cover nearby.

In short, the sound of shooting from the top of the hillside made the Italian army quite nervous.

Amor couldn't look up, he fumbled for his rifle and waited until the gunfire stopped, before finally poking his head out and firing upwards.

Of course, it is meaningless, most of this way of shooting has to be flying, and even if you can't fly, you don't have much combat effectiveness if you attack upwards.

Because, the rifles they use are not powerful enough.

In this era, the rifles of various countries were made according to the standards of their own countries, Germany used 7.92 mm caliber, Britain used 7.7 mm caliber, and Italy used 6.5 mm caliber.

Yes, the caliber of Italian rifles is almost smaller than the others, which leads to the serious lack of power of their rifles, for example, the effective range of their rifles is only 300 meters, and now the upward attack is even more reduced.

Even Germany chose 6.8 mm when choosing a new generation of caliber, while Italy has always used 6.5 mm caliber, which is too small.

They were pressed down the hillside, not daring to rush upward, and below, General Messer also had a black face.

As he had guessed, the French border guards had set up an ambush position on the top of the hill and, if nothing else, anti-tank mines must have been laid on the main traffic arteries of the pass.

However, the gunfire on the top of the mountain was not violent, which showed that the other side did not have many manpower at all, but his own troops were suppressed and did not dare to rush up!

If it was replaced by the German army, it would have rushed straight up!

"Retreat first, artillery, carry out an artillery bombardment of the enemy's position on the top of the mountain." Major General Messer gave the order.

Now, even if he drives from behind, it is impossible for these infantry to risk their lives to rush upward, anyway, there is artillery behind their own side, bombard the opponent once, and then charge!

Half an hour later, the division's artillery was finally ready.

This can't be blamed on the artillery, although they are armored divisions, the main L3 tanks, only 20 kilometers per hour speed, at the same time, they do not have any self-propelled guns, all towed artillery.

These artillery, unloaded from the car and deployed, wasted a long time, calculating the firing of the yuan, etc., half an hour is not a long time.

"Boom!" The 105-mm field guns, towards the top of the opposite hill, fired their own shells.

The 1913 105-mm field gun, which was developed by Anshardo and Schneider, was produced in Italy and France, and was produced in considerable quantities. It was also the most common field artillery in the Italian army.

It's a pity that it's more than thirty years old and belongs to a kind of old-fashioned artillery. Look at the tires on both sides of it, or solid tires, in fact, it is just a piece of rubber, inside is a thick iron wheel, and at the same time, its gun tail is also a single open foot.

Nowadays, most of the artillery pieces are spread out to both sides with double legs and two legs, so that the artillery is easy to fix when firing, and at the same time, it is easy to change the angle of fire.

But the Italian artillery is still sticking to the tradition, which is also related to the terrain of Italy.

With the roar, a puff of gunsmoke filled the muzzle, and 105-mm shells fell halfway up the mountain. If the Italian army had not retreated just before the cannon fired, it would have definitely fallen on them!

"The elevation angle is raised by one degree!" The cannon commander shouted loudly, just now he knew that the target would not be too high, so the first shot was just a test shot.

The second shot, of course, will be more accurate!

"Boom!" The 105-mm shell, with the hopes of the Italian artillery, flew over, and this time, as expected, flew over the top of the hill and hit the back mountainside.

Far Bounce!

"Lower the elevation angle by three points, adjust a tight position to the right!" The commander of the artillery continued to command in an orderly manner.

Is it that easy to hit? If you think it's easy to fire, you'll be in charge! At this time, the artillery commander was not discouraged at all, and no one in the entire Italian artillery could make the first hit.

"Boom!" Finally, the third shell finally hit the top of the mountain! This time the shooting is correct!

"Artillery regiment, pay attention, three rounds of fire!" The gun commander shouted. At this time, he is extremely proud, he is the commander of the test fire, that is to say, his technology is the first in the entire artillery regiment, and now, he has tried all kinds of data, and other field artillery, only need to fine-tune according to his shooting elements, and it can be fired!

"Boom, boom!" On the artillery position, a deafening sound of fire rang out, and puffs of black smoke came out of the muzzle, and the entire artillery position was filled with gunsmoke.

One after another, the shells of the 105-mm field guns flew towards the top of the opposite hill, and at least 50 percent of the shells hit! Suddenly, there was a bustle on the top, and the stones and dust that kept rising up showed that the French people above must be suffering from pain.

Finally, the sound subsided, and on the top of the mountain, there was no movement, and holding a telescope, Messer took a look at the situation on the top of the mountain, and then gave the order: "Infantry regiment, rush up!" ”
