Caisselring's suggestion was tempting to Cosimo, because it was exactly what Cosimo wanted, if not all Italians...... There was no danger, just wait for the Allies and the Germans to split the winners and then take the winning side. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

So without much thought, Cosimo nodded and said, "I have no doubt about this suggestion!" ”

"In fact!" "I hope you will convey these words to Führer Badoglio, a promise that will be equally valid for him!" said Kesselring. ”

"Okay! I'm honored! Cosimo replied.

In fact, Cosimo was cheering excitedly...... He was about to become the hero who saved Italy.

As expected, an agreement was reached between Germany and Italy a few days later.

Of course, this agreement is informal, and Italy has been denying it.

However, there was a rare peace and tacit understanding between Germany and Italy during this period...... Italy ostensibly sided with the Allies and was an enemy of Germany, but Germany's telephone lines, which relied on the Italian postal communication network, remained open, and what was even more incredible was that the German police were still maintaining order and ensuring traffic in Rome, which was full of Italian civilians and troops...... The total number of police forces in Rome is only two companies.

Truckloads of ammunition and supplies, as well as supply personnel, were then transported from the North to Army Group A in the South...... They didn't get attacked all the way.

It was in this way that Italy "surrendered" to the Allies and eventually became the victorious power.

Kesselring's success made Hitler unable to believe that all this was true, and before that, Hitler and all his military advisers in the High Command thought that Kesselring and his Army Group A were playing tricks. But the result was unexpected by everyone.

In this regard, Hitler could not help but sigh: "I really should not have regarded Italy as an ally, but as an enemy from the beginning!" ”

This was manifested in the southern battlefield, when the German Army Group A regained its morale and organized its defense.

And this was the time when the British and American troops exchanged guards...... The U.S. military had fought quite smoothly before, and although it was not advancing fast, it was at least advancing every day and winning the victory.

As a result, as soon as the British army came up, they wanted to advance faster than the American army, but they didn't want to kick on a steel plate with one kick...... The Germans set a trap for the British in the area of Cassino Hill, and the British army, who did not know the situation, plunged headlong into it and suffered a crushing defeat.

The losses of the British army were even heavier than the last time the American troops were ambushed, with more than 5,000 casualties...... This is due to the British army's earnestness, and the German army is more prepared, especially after being chased and beaten for so long, the German army wants to vent its anger on the Allies, and the British army has obviously become the object of their venting.

Alexander still felt a little inexplicable about this, the Germans had obviously become trapped beasts, how could they suddenly burst out with such a strong fighting force.

After knowing that it was the Italians who "let him go", Alexander couldn't help but be angry: "I knew it, I knew that I shouldn't pin my hopes on the Italians, not at all!" ”

And this was just the beginning, and the battlefield soon turned into a tug-of-war between you and me on the defensive line, and the British army couldn't help but complain.

But who is to blame?

The British army was even requested by Alexander himself, and Alexander could only spit out this bitter water.

Zhang Chi is very satisfied with this situation.

For this reason, Eisenhower also looked for Zhang Chi several times.

"Major General!" Eisenhower said: "The battlefield is at a stalemate again, is there anything you can do?" ”

Zhang Chi spread his hands and replied: "General, this is determined by the terrain of Italy, I have reminded you from the beginning, haven't I?" ”

Eisenhower nodded, although there was that bet, the United States could still benefit from the bet, but there were hundreds of casualties on the defensive line every day, and the Allies were never able to push forward...... That's not what he wants to see, either.

These things troubled Eisenhower and Alexander, and Zhang Chi took advantage of the time to look inward.

The first thing Zhang Chi did was to transfer both the Fifth and Sixth Armies of the Zoaf Corps to Italy...... The transfer of these two corps to Italy was not for the sake of their victory.

In fact, such a situation similar to a trench war is very difficult to break easily, because the next high ground is followed by another high ground, and there is no end to it.

The reason why Zhang Chi transferred these two armies was to take advantage of this time to train the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army...... The battlefield is the best training ground, and everything here is real. At the same time, the real threat of death will force the soldiers to study desperately, because those skills are life-saving things.

Generally, there were only two or three highlands on the highlands garrisoned by the French army, and Zhang Chi let the Zoaf Corps take turns to train, just like the People's Liberation Army (PLA) took turns in the war against Vietnam.

To the surprise of all the Allied forces, when other troops were afraid of the Germans' night attacks, the Zoaf Corps repeatedly defeated the Germans at night, and even attacked the German heights at night and gained a lot.

The reason for this is that the Zoaf Corps has a scimitar and is very skilled...... In night battles, it is often face-to-face when you encounter an enemy, and it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and bayonets can only be used for assassination and can easily be ineffective because they are too close.

But if you hold a scimitar in your hand, it's different, first of all, it can be used as one of the characteristics to distinguish friend from foe, and you can't see your face and you can't see what kind of gun you are using, but if the other party is using a scimitar...... Then don't think about it, it's your own people. Secondly, this thing is more suitable for melee combat than bayonets, and it can be slashed and stabbed, so it is often necessary to kill the incoming German army in the dark.

This directly led to the fact that the Germans did not even dare to launch a night attack on the high ground where the Zoaf Corps was stationed, for which the Germans also called the Zoaf Corps "Scimitar Team".

Arrange these, and there will be nothing to do with the rest...... After the stalemate between the enemy and us, the most idle person is actually the commander, because those actions are repeated almost every day, which high ground to capture or which commanding height.

At this time, Zhang Chi sent a telegram to Okinawa to inquire about the progress of the remote-controlled "airplane missile."

Zhang Chi was very excited by the reply he received: "We have produced a batch of remote-controlled 'aircraft missiles' and have gone through a series of tests, and the results have made us very satisfied. Next, we need to put it to the test in battle! ”

"No problem!" Zhang Chi replied: "Italy is the best testing ground now, bring them here!" ”
