Cheng Xiaoyu straightened his big cap, and walked forward with his soldiers in a straggler line at a uniform speed, and only stopped in front of the barbed wire fence arranged by the Italian army, and several people stepped forward to clear the barbed wire, and the other people were half-kneeling on the ground and raised their guns to aim forward.

The cautious Cheng Xiaoyu, after the soldiers under his command cleared several barbed wires, couldn't help but look at the Italian position on the opposite side as quiet as ever.

According to the experience of the battle with the Prussians, the other side would have already fired at this time, and it is impossible to be so quiet!

However, since the Italians on the opposite side did not fire a dense number of bullets, Cheng Xiaoyu, the 'pioneer platoon', naturally had no reason to withdraw.

Lin Haoda's order to feint attack, but it is not an ordinary sense to step forward and fire a few shots and leave, Lin Haoda, who does not care too much about the casualties of the soldiers, strives to make the enemy feel the pressure of real war in every attack!

If the enemy's resistance is not too fierce, a feint can turn into a real attack at any time!

Therefore, Cheng Xiaoyu had to bite the bullet and continue to lead his big-headed soldiers, holding the improved Mauser rifle and moving forward quickly.

This place is already completely within the range of the firing rifle, if you don't rush forward as much as possible while the opposite side is not firing, is it possible to wait for the opposite side to stay in the trench and shoot at yourself?

However, until Cheng Xiaoyu led people into the trenches of the Italian army, he did not see a single Italian soldier......

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the debris thrown everywhere in the trenches with some puzzlement, feeling that all this was like a dream, when fighting the Prussian army in the past, even if the main force of the Prussian army was crushed by tanks, there would be many Prussian soldiers who insisted on resisting, and secretly shot at Cheng Xiaoyu, a mobilized soldier who cleaned up the battlefield, but now the Italian front has not fired a single shot and is occupied by a battalion and hundreds of people where Cheng Xiaoyu is located......

You must know that according to the intelligence of the battlefield scouts, the Italian troops stationed in the positions opposite are two Italian regular infantry regiments!

"Sir, we seem to have won?" The sergeant adjutant beside Cheng Xiaoyu reported to Cheng Xiaoyu in a daze after inspecting the trenches they were responsible for.

Cheng Xiaoyu took off his big-brimmed hat and fanned it, spitting: "Damn, I didn't expect the Italians to be so cowardly, they escaped without firing a shot, and the old man was nervous for a long time!" ”

Obviously, the situation encountered by Cheng Xiaoyu is not an isolated situation, although the Italian infantry regiment that Cheng Xiaoyu faced is called a regular army, it is actually a regular army that has been formed for less than three months......

It was all adapted from the militia that the Sardinian royal family temporarily pulled up in a panic after the arrival of Lin Haoda, and only carried out some queue training and stepping up, as well as a pitiful amount of shooting training (bullets cost money, and with the expansion of the Kingdom of Italy, the number of bullets fired by shooting training is not small. ）。

Of course, the Kingdom of Italy is not without troops who dare to fight, but those really elite troops were arranged under the Italian famous general Garibaldi and placed on the most important line of defense, that is, Lin Haoda's main attack direction, and then, unsurprisingly, in less than half a day, they were defeated by the German No. 3 tank and the 75mm Miss France rapid-fire gun plus grenadiers and Maxine heavy machine guns......

I don't know how the news of the defeat of the main Italian force spread throughout the entire front at a rapid speed, and the vanguard of the mobilized troops like Cheng Xiaoyu did not receive the news of the victory of the main force, but the Italian 'regular army' on the opposite side received the news first......

Although there is a reason why Lin Haoda did not spread the news of the victory to the whole army, and only cared about leading the main force to pursue the Italian rout, the smoothness of the news of the Italian army is still impressive......

Of course, for most of the Italian defenders who were guarding remote areas, they did not receive the news of defeat and retreated, they just saw the Kabuqi uniformed soldiers holding the banner of the Han army rushing up, and they naturally dispersed in a hurry, and even those officers of the so-called regular army took the lead in running away!

The well-informed Italian soldiers knew very well who the enemy opposite them was, that is, the 'heavenly army' that had successfully reduced the French population by several million and defeated the Prussian army of more than 500,000 with absolutely inferior forces......

The Italian elite led by the famous Italian general Garibaldi finally ran away after receiving the fire, but those second-line troops ran wild when they saw the banner of the Han army.

The Italian soldier's idea was very simple, since he couldn't fight, why should he joke with his own life?

The soldiers of the Han army are all demons who kill people without blinking, so it is better to stay away......

Very simple and reasonable idea!

As for the national righteousness and the like, for these Italian 'regular troops' who can only walk in line and march, it is not as good as the military salary that can barely eat enough, and if it were not for the military salary given by the Sardinian royal family, these Italian soldiers would not even come to the front line to dig pits and pull barbed wire......

In this way, the Sardinian royal family patted its chest and assured the Austro-Hungarian Empire that the "steel defense line" garrisoned by hundreds of thousands of "Italian warriors" collapsed in just one day......

Since Lin Haoda only led the main force to chase Garibaldi's Italian elite killing, the vast majority of these hundreds of thousands of 'Italian warriors' who ran away in advance survived, and not many were even captured!

The shrewd Italians, who left their positions without seeing the Han soldiers, naturally did not get captured......

Turin, the foundation city of the Kingdom of Sardinia, was instantly exposed to the rolling torrent of Lin Haoda, and General Garibaldi, who was chased by the heavens and the earth, finally gave up the extravagant idea of gathering troops for the sake of his life......

Garibaldi, who was full of running skills, rode an excellent war horse and took a few of his relatives into the deep mountains and old forests, abandoned the last elite army of the Kingdom of Italy, and disappeared without a trace.

The avalanche on the front line made the will to resist in Turin instantly collapse, and when the Han army came to the city, the Italian magnates in Turin opened the city gate to welcome the 'Wang Shi' after a period of friendly communication with Lin Haoda in private.

The Turin magnates who cursed Lin Haoda as a tyrant's executioner before turned into pugs kneeling at Lin Haoda's feet, contributing to Lin Haoda's rapid control of the occupied area!

The performance of these Italian traitors surprised Lin Haoda, and in the face of such enthusiasm from the Italians, Lin Haoda felt that it was necessary to deepen the battle plan he had formulated before!
