The Soviet army set off from the Busarentina Peninsula in southern Italy, and then will land in Vlora and Durrës in Albania on the opposite bank, but the Germans misjudged the situation, in view of the Normandy landing they were deceived, the Allies chose to land in Normandy, the second nearest, so this time the German army also meant that the Soviet army might land in Durres tomorrow, but I didn't expect the Soviet army to even deceive their own people, they went directly from Voro ** land, and Durrës was a feint.

From 8 o'clock in the evening, the Soviet army and the Italian air force began to bomb Vlora and Durrës, because of Yugoslavia, the German troops in Albania were not sufficient, and most of them were transferred to Yugoslavia to suppress the rebels.

The commander of this operation was the British Field Marshal Mountbatten, that's right, he participated in the Normandy landings last time, Eisenhower could not help the Soviet army in the Americas, and the Soviet army itself had no experience, so he could only send him over, of course, he still made up as a senior Soviet general, even if he was discovered by the Germans, even if he took a photo, the British can also be said to look alike, which shows how important the British attach to this operation.

At half past eleven o'clock in the evening, the Soviet troops, with the assistance of night-vision aircraft and the support of Italian surface ships, began to land in Voro.

The Italian Navy used to hide in the harbor and rely on the protection of the air force, but when it came out, it was bombed by British planes, and this time it can be regarded as finding a place to use.

In fact, most of the shells of the Italian army were accumulated in the thirties, and there was no place to fight before, but now if they don't fight, they will be scrapped, and if they are dismantled, there is a great risk, so it is better to take advantage of the needs of the war to scrap them in the flesh and blood of the enemy.

The Soviets were very satisfied with the fire support of the Italian army, and they were originally worried that the Italian army would buckle the rope, but now it seems that that worry is superfluous, looking at the density of shells, almost every inch of land has been attacked by a shell.

The real Soviet commander Chuikov said to the Italian marshal: "At this density of shells, even if there are mines planted on the beach, they must have been detonated." ”

The Italian marshal said: "Of course, you are our allies, and besides, when the time comes, we will divide a piece of territory in Great Yugoslavia." ”

Chuikov said: "Shhh, don't be so loud, when the time comes, it will reach the ears of the Yugoslavs, and they may fall to Germany, and then we can run back to Africa, can you run?" ”

The Italian marshal shook his head sheepishly.

Mountbatten looked at the Italians and was secretly proud, in fact, although the Italian Navy is also a world naval power, but it is only a white colonial white, otherwise Italy would have been killed a long time ago, and now the combat of the Italian Navy is not far from the British Royal Navy, which is also a normal country in the world that is bigger than Italy, otherwise it would be Italy's turn to be a naval power.

"We should land in half an hour before the artillery fire extends, I hope everything goes well." ”

"Don't worry, I'm here, I've commanded the landing of a million troops, and the landing of your two or three hundred thousand people is not a piece of cake for me."

Chuikov also did not demolish Mountbatten, and when the time came, the Italian marshal secretly muttered that Mountbatten was shameless.

At 12:10, the Soviet army began to land, there is no doubt that under the cover of the navy and air force, under the fierce artillery fire, they successfully grabbed the beach, and then the Italian artillery fire extended, the Soviet army landed on a large scale, and the landing force immediately launched an attack on the German army in the hinterland, although the German planes came to harass from time to time, but because the country suffered a major blow before, the aircraft production was not enough for the Western Front, so there were not many planes arranged here, and part of the previous air battle with the Soviet Air Force had been lost, and it was not of much help to give.

The German rescue force will not arrive until tomorrow morning at the earliest, but the Soviets may be able to occupy the whole of Albania in one night.

The German army was defeated and retreated, the German army in Yugoslavia was entangled by the Yugoslav rebel army and could not get out, and the German army in Greece could not catch up for a while and a half, Dönitz received the news and felt that the sky was falling apart, and the Allies had not felt this way for so long, but he did not expect to be attacked by the Soviet army, and there was such a big loophole immediately, usually their forces were mainly deployed on the Western Front and the Eastern Front, which were also the most vulnerable places for Germany to attack.

There were also 500,000 troops deployed in the Balkans, but most of them were attracted by the Yugoslav rebels, and although the German army in Yugoslavia was very large, it had the weakest control over Yugoslavia.

This time, the Soviet army suddenly wanted to attack them, which caught Germany off guard, which had been relaxed, and they thought that they had concluded a peace agreement with the allies, and the United States was confronting another behemoth, so they had no energy to provoke Germany, but Germany's heavy troops were still deployed on the Western Front, where did they think that the allies would be so shameless and would do this.

Dönitz firmly believed that when the Soviet army was driven out of the Balkans, the Balkans would be cleaned up in the Soviet style, and only in this way could the stability of the region be guaranteed.

When the Soviet troops landed in Albania, the local guerrillas immediately jumped out to lead the way for the Soviet troops, which made the Soviet attack much smoother, at least many of the trails were known only to these guerrillas who were in the deep mountains and old forests all day long.

At 5 o'clock in the morning of the 9th, the Soviet army entered Tirana, the capital of Albania, and engaged in a desperate street battle with more than 10,000 German troops in the city.

This time, the Soviet army had sufficient weapons and ammunition, and they also summed up the situation of the Soviet defeat in half a year, absorbed the experience of the Chinese army and the German army in attacking the city, and this time completely used it on the German army.

The German army was surrounded in the city, and the heavy Soviet artillery fire, as well as their only rocket artillery corps, were also taken out, this time to pour ammunition on Tirana for no money.

The Germans in the city suffered heavy casualties, and rocket artillery was the most feared weapon of all armies.

And this way of fighting of the Soviet army also caused a devastating blow to the Albanian people in the city, whether it was the common people or the princes and nobles, any property was reduced to ashes under this devastating blow.

And the Soviets have no mercy, and of course they can't have mercy either, otherwise no one will have mercy on them.

At this time, the Soviet army not only modeled the lives of the Albanians, but also disregarded the lives of their own people, and with Chuikov's orders down one by one, the Soviet ground troops began to bow their heads and cats towards the bombed and ruined city.

From time to time, there were still living German troops in the city who shot at them, but after all, the number was too small to resist the Soviet army, and now the Soviet army with sufficient weapons and equipment was unstoppable, and they bombarded them with artillery at every turn, and they quickly cleared the obstacles.

Some Soviet troops finally really got the feeling of being rich, and they only had that feeling when they used rocket artillery, but although the Soviet Union was good compared to Britain and France, and the second in industrial strength, it was too far behind the United States.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, they finally completely annihilated the German army in Tirana, most of the Soviet troops could not believe that this was true, was this the German army that had beaten themselves to the ground, why is it so vulnerable now, only three hours more than 10,000 people were completely annihilated in the street fighting, you must know that the German army is the defensive side.

Chuikov couldn't believe that this was true, this speed was too amazing, annihilating 10,000 German troops in three hours, this is not a million-strong army battle, this is a serious 10,000-strong ** operation, of course, there are more than 50,000 people on his side.

With such a great victory, Chuikov quickly reported the situation to Zhukov and the Soviet Union in Africa, and Stalin breathed a sigh of relief, and finally raised his eyebrows, but he wondered why his army was so advantageous all of a sudden? In the end, the Germans retreated or their own army could not retreat.

If it is said that the Soviet army has progressed, Stalin does not believe that the army under his command has improved so much all of a sudden, you must know that these troops used to play very well in Africa, and the training was not as good as before, could it be that the black girl became stronger, this is also too, Stalin will never believe it.

In his opinion, the German army fought in Germany for six or seven years, with a population loss of tens of millions, and most of them were young and middle-aged, and now there are many old, weak, sick and disabled, so the combat effectiveness is not as good as before, and even the Yugoslav rebel army cannot defeat it, which shows how bad these armies are.

Thinking of this, Stalin's heart suddenly brightened, in this way, it shows that the Soviet army has a lot to do in the Balkans!

The capture of Tirana marked the fall of Albania under the control of the Soviet army, and Charles de Gaulle in France, George VI and Prime Minister Attlee in Britain, and President Truman and Marshall in the United States were all very excited.

They once repeatedly wanted to land in Greece and open up a battlefield, but the degree was crushed, and then there was no movement, especially after the Soviet Union was eliminated, they thought that it was no longer meaningful to open up any battlefield in the Balkans, perhaps the German army also thought so, so both sides focused on the French border, the Netherlands, and Belgium, where tens of millions of troops were killed, resulting in the death of nine out of ten of the population of the Netherlands and Belgium in the war.

Unexpectedly, now the Soviets have inadvertently seized Albania, and if you look at it this way, I am afraid that Greece, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Romania will soon be captured.

And the Greek royal family was also very excited to learn that Albania was seized by the Soviet Union, in the Balkans except for Yugoslavia, the Greek style was the most resistant, watching Albania being seized by the Allies, both the Greek civil resistance and the government-in-exile saw hope.
