424 Officers and creeps
With a loud bang, the city wall of Parma was instantly blasted and blasted out a gap more than ten meters wide, and the Xiandeng Company led by Cheng Xiaoyu rushed up like a military exercise.
And the Italian defenders on the walls of Parma had already been beaten by the rifle fire of the Han army an hour earlier......
Cheng Xiaoyu even suspected that there were a few Italian soldiers behind the city wall who insisted on resisting, because when the demolition team broke through to bury the explosive bag under the corner, the city head did not fire a single bullet......
In that battle to defeat more than 100,000 people, Cheng Xiaoyu, who led an infantry platoon to occupy the positions held by two Italian infantry regiments, was successfully promoted to lieutenant and became the acting company commander of a company with a lack of one-third of the number.
I have to say that Cheng Xiaoyu's luck is really good, officers like him who have been promoted by low-level soldiers have always been sent to charge and attack on the front line, and the survival rate is very low, but the glorious tradition of the Italians who fled without a fight has sent tons of military exploits into Cheng Xiaoyu's pocket......
The vanguard troops led by Cheng Xiaoyu always charged without artillery, grenadiers, or machine guns, but they were always able to defeat one regular regimental unit after another in the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy......
No matter how big the water is, it can't stand Cheng Xiaoyu, he has made too many military exploits!
was originally a continuous pioneer status that was about equivalent to death on the battlefield, but it became a shortcut for Cheng Xiaoyu to have to upgrade his rank......
In Lin Haoda's military system, the review of military merits is very strict, because the officers attached to the all-out war system are very professional, so the requirements for the promotion of soldiers are very harsh, after all, there is no so-called recruit supplement in the Han army, and the officers are all a turnip and a pit, and there are not many positions for the fallen officers to sit on the soldiers who are promoted by virtue of military merits.
Most of the mobilized soldiers who have made meritorious contributions have always been non-commissioned officers, and then they are sent to the most dangerous combat missions, or to be the vanguard in the vanguard units, and the benefits of this to Lin Haoda's army's breakthrough ability are obvious.
It's a pity that the weak combat effectiveness of the Italian army has made the mobilization system, which is constantly changing blood and upgrading difficult, and groups of non-commissioned officers and even officers who have made a lot of achievements have emerged!
For example, Cheng Xiaoyu, in addition to the battle that defeated more than 100,000 people, also led more than 20 people to capture ten times the number of Italian regular troops in the battle of attacking the Parma area......
The battle at that time made Cheng Xiaoyu feel that the military merit was too simple, he just fired 5 bullets out of the chamber, and the Italian regular army of a battalion on the opposite side collapsed and surrendered......
Although the rate of fire of the firing pin rifle used by the Italian army was much lower than that of the improved Mauser rifle, the hundreds of men in this battalion, even if they fought bayonets, could not be defeated by the Cheng Xiaoyu reconnaissance platoon without machine guns and grenadiers......
The most interesting thing is that Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know that that mission was actually his immediate boss who felt that Cheng Xiaoyu's military merits were too high, and he was afraid that in the face of the battle of the Italian troops in the future, he would repeatedly make military exploits again and be promoted to the point where he had no position, so he deliberately pulled half of his platoon away, leaving only half of him to order Cheng Xiaoyu to reconnoiter the troops of a battalion of the Italian army......
It's just that Cheng Xiaoyu was the boss, and what the captain battalion commander didn't expect was that Cheng Xiaoyu and more than 20 people could defeat a full battalion of the Italian army, and also captured more than 200 Italian regular troops by the way......
Since that battle, the captain battalion commander has given up the routine of killing people with a knife, and instead put forward a proposal to the above to 'decentralize accumulated military merits', that is, no longer carry out the military merit promotion system, but let these mobilized soldiers who have a lot of achievements but have no basic knowledge of officers have been the vanguard to fight the entire Italian peninsula, and then directly arrange them to be the 'generals' of the local puppet army formed in the future.
Of course, Cheng Xiaoyu and the others didn't know all this, they just rushed into Parma City with bayonets, thinking excitedly in their hearts, after this battle, as the first soldiers, how much they could achieve in their military merit book, and how many people they could be the boss in the future......
Mobilized soldiers also have their own thoughts, their own desires, they are also a person, and naturally they also have the psychology of climbing upward.
Cheng Xiaoyu, who rushed through the city wall, just raised his rifle and pulled the trigger a few times on the panicked crowd in front of him, and ordered his soldiers to hang the Han army flag on the head of the city.
Most of the Italian defenders, who were mainly Parmaans, chose to take off their uniforms and return home to become obedient citizens, and almost all of them were foreign soldiers whose hometowns were not in Palma......
The so-called concept of defending the homeland does not exist in the Italian army, because the ferocity and combat effectiveness of the Han army have long been deeply imprinted in the minds of the Italian people, and Victor Emmanuel II, who is still trying to resist, does not know how big a blow to the hearts of the Italian people is in the avalanche of hundreds of thousands of people on the border!
Cheng Xiaoyu casually straddled his rifle and jogged towards the city behind the soldiers, they did not encounter any organized resistance, the resistance of a provincial capital city like Parma was not as fierce as a skirmish with the Prussian Legion for Cheng Xiaoyu!
Of course, the proportion of casualties of the Italian regular army was also pitiful, and although the city of Parma was lost, the total number of Italian defenders killed was not even in the triple digits......
And that includes Italian civilians who were accidentally wounded!
After entering the city, Cheng Xiaoyu did not accompany those big soldiers to occupy some key areas in the city, he was the acting company commander of the first company, although he had to take the lead when attacking the city, but after entering the city, he would naturally have certain benefits, which was mature in the Han army, whoever entered the city first, who could enjoy the beauty of the city first.
Cheng Xiaoyu walked around the city of Parma at random, selected a building that looked quite wealthy, pulled over a mobilized soldier beside him and ordered: "You follow me first and help me guard the door." ”
Then, Cheng Xiaoyu walked into the residence with a Mauser rifle, and soon, a series of women's screams and men's hysterical roars sounded in the residence, after the two gunshots, only the woman's desperate pleading and the man's heavy gasping were left in the residence, and the soldier who was temporarily pulled a strong man stood at the door excitedly ** laughing, generally speaking, after this kind of thing is enjoyed by the chief, the guards can come to the second shot, so that they can perfectly escape the punishment of the gendarmerie in the Han army.
There is still a big gap between the treatment of officers and petty soldiers!
