The Italian army would send an infantry company of more than 100 people to attack, which was unimaginable to Li Guang. In his heart, Li Guang set up a variety of possibilities for fighting, but he couldn't imagine that the Italian army would behave so out of tune.

Yesterday, the Italian army held the town and fled without a fight. Today, the Italian army still has so many troops that it wants to recapture the town, and to make such a decision, the Italian commander is simply kicked in the head by a donkey.

Bao Gang, commander of the 1st Field Battalion, had sufficient experience in warfare, and the task assignment of the troops was also decent.

The establishment of the 1st Field Battalion, which is the main force, is also strong enough, and it itself is a mixed unit with a full range of arms, which is called the five-company system of three plus two in the Maritime Resistance Army. It has three infantry companies, a battalion headquarters company (also called a fire company, with three specialized platoons and a headquarters) and an engineer and baggage company, each company has more than 250 people, a total of 1,0030 people.

The company-level artillery of the three infantry companies is a Japanese-made 70mm infantry gun and a 37mm battle defense gun, plus a mortar light and heavy machine gun.

THE THREE SPECIALIZED PLATOONS IN THE FIRE COMPANY HAVE A HEAVY MACHINE GUN PLATOON (FOUR HEAVY MACHINE GUNS), A PLATOON OF IMITATION GERMAN 76MM INFANTRY GUNS (FOUR GUNS), AN ARMORED PLATOON (THREE BRITISH-MADE MATILDA 1 tanks and a French B1 heavy tank), and a platoon composed of scouts and communications troops attached to the command.

This powerful configuration of personnel and weapons also makes the command training of this battalion far more difficult than that of a regiment of the Chinese army in China. However, once such a unit matures, its combat effectiveness is also incomparably strong.

The main force of the field battalion left the city very late, at ten o'clock in the morning. The reason for this is that the soldiers are quite tired after several hours of drifting at sea, plus a lot of physical activity such as getting on and off the ship to unload weapons and ammunition. In order to ensure the physical strength of the soldiers, Li Guang specially arranged for the soldiers to rest for a few more hours.

Although the main force left the city late, the reconnaissance strikers of the field battalion had already been dispatched. As early as last night, a platoon of troops had already laid an ambush in front of the pass where the Italian troops were stationed. Therefore, Captain Esposito and more than 100 men had just come out of the camp behind the pass when the Naval Resistance Army had already received the news.

Two hours later, an infantry company of the Italian army naturally entered the ambush circle of the naval resistance army.

From this battle, Li Guang saw a problem, the Italian army had not experienced the danger of the battlefield at all. A unit went deep alone, and even the minimum reconnaissance unit was not dispatched, so Li Guang didn't know what to say.

The troops of a company of the Italian army, more than one hundred and thirty people. However, the Italian army was very large, although it was infantry, but the ratio of pack horses and war horses was extremely high, there were one hundred and fifty horses and donkeys, and even a few camels. According to such transport capacity, the armament should be good, but in fact, the Italian army, in addition to rifles, had only three light machine guns and a small-caliber mortar.

Looking at the Italian army on the road, which stretched for more than 500 meters, step by step into the ambush circle, Li Guang was a little puzzled.

Li Guang thinks he is a rookie on the battlefield, but he really can't think of a more rookie commander than him. In his heart, Li Guangdu was a little anxious about the Italian army. This is a battlefield, a battlefield where lives are scarred. The Italian army was so careless that they buried themselves in the march and did not even care about the sand dunes on the side of the road. Perhaps the colonial army suppressed the natives so easily that the Italian army changed opponents and was still the same old way.

It's depressing. When formulating the battle plan, Li Guang and Bao Gang were also worried that the ambush force would be discovered by the Italian army, and the troops were not lurking in the sand dunes near the road, but retreated several hundred meters. It's a pity that the Italian army didn't care about the nearby sand dunes, let alone the Naval Resistance Army a few hundred meters away.

Paper tigers should also be taken as real tigers. With Li Guang's order, more than 10 mortars took the lead in firing, and in less than a minute, more than 10 mortars unleashed hundreds of shells.

Suddenly attacked, the Italian army immediately became a mess on the road. In the telescope, Li Guang saw very clearly that these Italian soldiers did not realize that they were seizing the sand dunes and occupying the commanding heights. Instead, they run around on the highway.

The ambush area chosen by the Naval Resistance Army is just a multi-dune area on both sides of the road. It wasn't a Jedi, and due to the caution of the Naval Resistance Army, the infantry's lurking location was still quite a distance from the road. If the Italians were well trained, they could have captured the dunes in the early stages of the battle, and although their annihilation was inevitable, they could hold on for a while.

The confusion of the Italian army lost its only chance. As an armored platoon of the field battalion entered the battlefield, the Italian army was immediately crushed.

The field battalion was an armored platoon with three British-made Vickers tanks and one French-made B1 heavy tank. The four tanks each led four infantry squads, attacking from the front, straight into the hot knife to cut butter, like a bamboo.

The ironclad monsters roared, sending out a rain of bullets and rampage across the road. The Italian army stretched for more than five hundred meters, and these ironclad monsters came out of the formation within three or four minutes. The road was already covered with flesh and blood, and the dead bodies of the Italian army were all over the ground.

The battle ended extremely quickly, and it was less than fifteen minutes in total from the time the cannon was discharged to the time when the gunfire stopped abruptly.

Captain Esposito was shot in the chest, and at this moment he was lying on his back on the sand dunes, his eyes blank, facing the sky. His eyes, which had been refusing to close, seemed to accuse Colonel Bianchi of foolishness.

The battle went so fast that the Italian army was wiped out before it even had time to surrender.

The Italians were unlucky, except for less than ten prisoners, only three or two of the Italians were able to escape from the battlefield.

The fact that there were so few prisoners was definitely not the stubborn will of the Italian army to fight, nor was it Li Guang's brutal killing of prisoners, but the long-term training of the field battalion.

Although Li Guang did not have much intuitive feeling about the tenacity of the Japanese army, there were many descriptions of the tenacity of the Japanese invaders in later literary and artistic works, such as not surrendering to death, and even the wounded would shoot cold guns when the Chinese army collected prisoners, and even attack with meat bullets. Therefore, Li Guang set a standard for surrender, and often publicized it among the troops. There are three main criteria for this, the first is that you must kneel and raise your hands high, the second is that the weapon must be more than three meters apart, and the third is to disarm everything.

These Italian soldiers were unlucky enough, how did they know the standard interpretation of the surrender posture of the Naval Resistance Army. In fact, many have raised their hands in surrender, but their surrender posture is too inaccurate. The hand was raised, but not more than three meters from the weapon. More of them surrendered, but they did not untie their belts, and the grenades were still on their bodies. The battlefield is so cruel, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the soldiers can't be carefully screened in the battle, and although the field battalion is elite, ninety percent of the soldiers are also on the battlefield for the first time.

In addition, the riflemen of the 1st Field Battalion were really good enough to shoot their marksmanship. These riflemen have undergone at least one year of military training, and their marksmanship is basically capable of shooting at 200 meters and hitting seven shots out of 10 shots.

There is also a rather crucial point, the language barrier. Where can these army soldiers of the Navy understand Italian? A limited number of staff officers who know Italian are now following Hu Bofeng to carry out "special logistics" and are looting supplies in Gandara.

Therefore, less than 15 of the more than 100 Italian troops survived, which can be regarded as the total annihilation.

As a commander, Li Guang has a lot to pay attention to. His own casualty figures are undoubtedly his primary concern. When Bao Gang's statistics arrived, Li Guang breathed a sigh of relief. The Naval Resistance Army annihilated a company of the enemy, but no one was killed, and only six people were wounded. Li Guang was extremely satisfied with this result, and the battle was calculated or unintentional, coupled with the huge superiority in firepower, there was no suspense about victory, but with such few casualties, it really illustrated a problem--- the first battalion of the field was already a mature unit. This is what Li Guang values the most.

Later, the battlefield was cleaned up, and the captured Italian army did not have many weapons and ammunition, but the supplies were really surprisingly abundant. From daily necessities to gold and silver utensils, it is almost everything. I don't know whether the Italian army was fighting or traveling, or even beautiful and exquisite coffee cookers, but three sets were captured in this small team. With such a force, Li Guang has nothing but to evaluate the wealthiness.

Although it was only a small battle, Li Guang's understanding of the Italian army and himself was one step deeper. The officers and men of the Naval Resistance Army who first entered the battlefield experienced this battle and quickly matured, with more perseverance in their eyes and less hesitation when they first entered the battlefield.

Battlefield experience is hard to replace with no amount of training. Li Guang has a deep understanding of this.
