For Zhang Shixin, these can be regarded as captured members of the Italian Army, which can be said to be his next safety guarantee. After all, even Mussolini could not ignore the lives and deaths of thousands of soldiers.

Although it is said that they also encountered such a thing, Zhang Shixin has no need to take this into account, because the impact of ** on him can be said to be negligible.

After all, you can't expect a person who is not actually in this world to take the world's ** too seriously.

Just as Zhang Shixin decided to start a fight with the Italian army in Valencia, he also expected that he would have an unpredictable impact on the country of Spain.

Is there anything in Spain that deserves Zhang's attention?

Yes The overall level of education in Spain has declined to a certain point after a few years of decline. However, the Spanish education system, which was dominated by church schools, also produced a considerable number of people with intermediate and advanced academic qualifications.

Zhang Shixin's plan is to vigorously collect human resources in this area to pave the way for future things.

Rome wasn't built in one day. Similarly, the heavy industry base in the northwestern region of Australia, from the official construction to the commissioning of the year-and-a-half, it is difficult to achieve the level that Zhang Shixin expected, to produce light tanks suitable for fighting in China.

Therefore, during this blank period, Zhang Shixin must make some plans for a rainy day.

It's not that he can't trust the Germans, but that Germany will officially enter a period of manpower exhaustion after Barbarossa in 1941 at the latest. It can be said that at that time, it is not surprising that the Germans transferred all the personnel of the industrial base back to Germany itself.

Faced with such expectations, Zhang Shixin had to seek a better solution.

Although China's human resources were quite abundant at that time, there were very few people with academic qualifications. To sum it up in a more straightforward sentence:

At that time, there were more people in China who were illiterate than semi-literate, more semi-literate than people with certain knowledge, more people with certain knowledge than those who could drive cars, and more people who could drive cars than those who could drive tractors.

The above sentence is not a joke, but a person in China at that time was basically in the stage of intellectual ignorance.

Zhang Shixin once heard a story that the Americans were training armored units for the Chinese Expeditionary Force in India, even if it was an expeditionary force based on the student army, and the performance in this regard made the American instructors vomit blood in frustration.

So, this is where the above sentence appears.

Because in general, a tractor driver is the best option to become a driver of a tank armored vehicle.

Therefore, even if you have a certain degree of education, it is also quite difficult to start from scratch.

At the same time, there was another circumstance that made Zhang Shixin have to give up his original plan to recruit production personnel in China, that is, to be able to become a skilled technician in a short period of time, and seven or eight times out of ten are inextricably linked to those two parties. Zhang Shixin was reluctant to make a wedding dress for others with his own efforts.

If the people of those two parties knew about the existence of this industrial base, then it would be strange that there would be no chaos.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin had to seek a better solution.

Obviously, the situation in Spain is in many ways in line with Zhang Shixin's needs.

It can be said that Zhang Shixin did not give up Valencia, hoping to use Valencia as a springboard to gradually enhance his influence on Spain, and then achieve his own goals.

He can do without any rights in the country, but he wants all kinds of human resources that can play a role in the industrial base.

So are there other better options?

Yes, but ...... Many countries do not fit Mr. Zhang's plan to fish in troubled waters.

Switzerland and Sweden, the two neutral countries, Zhang Shixin has no way to make up his mind, and Portugal and the three Low Countries do not have so many talents. As for Austria and the countries of the Balkan Peninsula, Zhang Shixin is not interested in taking the fire.

For the rest of the country, Zhang Shixin knows very well that he doesn't have the strength or the patience to wait slowly.

Therefore, after Spain was caught in the civil war, Zhang Shixin planned to make the country a little more chaotic after establishing his own action steps.

When everything calms down, what does Spain's future development have to do with him?

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

The Italian fleet once again deployed a second batch of army and marines, and the clean-up of the port area was soon completed.

However, in contrast to the first batch of landing troops, that is, the Italian army learned the lesson of being blown up by Zhang Shixin's artillery unit last time, and the second batch of landing troops quickly went to the front line after landing.

Zhang Shixin was quite scoffing at the other party's small abacus, if it weren't for the M12's 155mm howitzer, there would not be much threat to the transport ship, Zhang Shixin didn't mind letting the other party know, it's okay not to use the transport ship too close to the shore to carry out the forced landing of personnel.

A transport ship and a transport boat are two different things, and the first person in the world to use a transport boat to conduct a large-scale landing operation was Yue himself, and when he lost his sea supremacy, his landing tactics gave the Americans in the Philippines a lot of insight.

However, for the Italians, the landing craft still seems to be a concept.

So Zhang Shixin had to let the M12 carry out a scattered attack on those stragglers.

Many people are well aware that the covered strike of artillery has a fairly high destructive power and lethality, but on the basis of losing fire coverage, the power of artillery is much less.

At least, until there are means of precision strikes, this is how artillery is used.

However, for Zhang Shixin, in the effective area of the Hawkeye skill of the artillery unit, whether it is concentrated artillery for fire coverage, or each artillery strikes a target alone, the actual effect is not much different.

Because of Zhang Shixin's artillery unit, the Hawkeye skill is a means of relatively accurate strikes.

At the very least, the gunner will know where the shells will fall. Of course, after the shells are fired, only God knows where they actually landed.

It can be said that the second batch of Italian landing troops had a much less chance of encountering artillery shelling, but many Italian officers and soldiers who were hit and did not die directly were cursing:

"Can this be played? It's not scientific!! ”

If Zhang Shixin knew what these people were thinking, he would stretch out a middle finger to them: "Just allow you to bombard me with a battleship, and don't allow me to give you a precision strike?" You'd better all die for me!! ”

In fact, even if Zhang Shixin's M12 number doubled, it would not change the fact that he had to accept the shelling of the opposing navy's warships to continue to show off their might. Because, Zhang Shixin has nothing at hand that can effectively fight against warships, and those Ju-87s are still in the attack CD.

Count on the 155 howitzer to penetrate the deck protection of the battleship...... Zhang Shixin never had such an idea......

However, with the 2A3 or the large 600mm canister of the Mouse self-propelled gun, the idea may be quite interesting.

It's just that the system won't let these big killers appear at this time, and Zhang Shixin has to continue to fight street battles with the Italian army in the city according to the original plan.

For those Italian prisoners, Zhang Shixin asked the other party to leave Valencia, because they were useless for the time being, and Zhang Shixin could not let them cause trouble for him in the city, so guarding them with a small number of troops with machine guns was the best way Zhang Shixin could deal with them.

……

What awaited the second group of Italian troops to land was not only their precise artillery strikes, but also the armored units that they were all quite frightened about.

At some point, a squad of Italian troops appeared around the corner of a street and "greeted" them not only with a dense barrage of machine-gun bullets, but also with a variety of tanks and tanks that constantly pointed their barrels at them.

Before many of the squads could react, they were all put down in their positions.

With the exception of a few lucky ones who were in agony**, most of the Italian officers and soldiers would never wake up.

However, Zhang Shixin found out that the Italians actually dispatched such a thing as a tank, and he was about to order the troops to treat the enemy cautiously, but he was surprised to find that the other party was actually a FIAT-3000-MOD30 light tank equipped with a 37mm battle defense gun.

For this kind of garbage thing, which is at best a second-level tank, Zhang Shixin has most of the tanks on hand now, and there is no pressure to crush the other party.

However, Zhang Shixin did not take it lightly, after all, the 37mm anti-aircraft gun can also penetrate the weak points of some tanks, especially the T40, which is quite crispy assault guns (TD equipped with short-barreled howitzers, in fact, they are all assault guns. And those equipped with anti-tank guns, in fact, can be regarded as tank destroyers. It can be said that whoever hits first will have the possibility of hanging up the winner.

And the Crusader cruiser tank could not guarantee its own crispy defense, which could effectively block the opponent's armor-piercing shells.

Therefore, to meet these FIAT-3000 light tanks, a tank formation composed of a small number of M6 and a certain number of medium tanks is formed. (Although the type of tank was officially put into service in early 1944, the finalization of the type of tank should be 1941, and the name of the type is mainly derived from the year 2601 (1941) of the Shenwu era of the type, so it is called a type of tank.) The name of the Type 97 tank can also be summed up in this aspect. ）

In fact, it is more of a strengthened version of the Type 97 tank than a new type of vehicle. Although there is not much difference in appearance, as an upgraded version of the Type 1 medium tank, there is a considerable gap between it and the new car in terms of surname, mainly the body of the Type 97 tank, especially the engine joint, which has quite a lot of problems.

Zhang Shixin naturally did not choose the cheap version of the one-style combat vehicle, but chose the new car with the best surname.

The 57mm test tank gun has been perfectly embodied in the surname of the one-type combat vehicle.

Of course, Zhang Shixin found that the type tank in the system did not have the rather clumsy Type 99 75mm tank gun, and Zhang Shixin also knew what was going on, because this thing of mine was not used at all on the type tank.

However, anyway, Zhang Shixin has never had a good impression of his tank gun.

This is also a matter of no choice, compared with those rich and handsome people in the Navy, the weapons and even individual equipment of the Army are more of things raised by the mother.

In one sentence, that is: "I said that my weapons were placed on the European battlefield, and it is estimated that the guerrillas were too lazy to pick them up." ”

It can be said that Zhang Shixin actually didn't come up with this kind of tank, if it weren't for the 50mm armor protection at this time, Zhang Shixin wouldn't mind being equipped with Crusader cruiser tanks, and the surname price ratio could be higher.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

The battle of the infantry and the tan is often to fight each other rather than fight randomly.

It's like a tank that is facing an enemy tank, and if it is not necessary, it will not make a self-defeating move such as aiming its gun at the enemy's infantry.

Italians, naturally, do not make such low-level mistakes.

However, when a group of Italian tank squads met with Zhang Shixin's attacking troops, they discovered a rather embarrassing thing.

And this incident, in fact, was also the depression of the German army several times in a row a few years later......

The turret of a Fiat-3000 light tank was aimed at the M6 tank at the top of the front line, and the gunners fired 37mm shells as they wanted to celebrate their first combat exploits, when what happened next made them extremely embarrassed:

The 37mm armor-piercing shell hit the left artillery team of the M6 heavy tank, and after the shell made a spark trail on the gun shield, it flew towards the sky.

The commander of the "......" as the gunner was silent, and after seeing the M6 heavy tank on the opposite side slowly pointing the barrel at his car, he roared out a sentence in the headset:

"When did 37mm armor-piercing bullets become a stepping stone!!

After the commander said this, a 90mm shell easily pierced the front of the turret of this FIAT-3000 light tank, and then exploded on the rear armor plate of the turret......

And the roar of this commander was not lonely, but resonated with a considerable number of commanders.

The tanks of the follow-up units clearly learned their lesson and targeted those mid-range combat vehicles.

However, the driver and commander of these one-of-a-kind vehicles are also not stupid, and there are all kinds of poses: the hull is placed at a small angle, and the turret quickly rotates at a certain angle after the gun is fired, passively increasing the thickness of the armor plates......

As a result, except for a small number of rather unlucky Type 1 medium tanks were broken through the frontal protection and suffered some damage (the Italian armor-piercing shells of this period should have been kinetic energy shells instead of blasting shells), a large number of shells in various postures and angles, rubbing the armor plates of the Type 1 medium tank, slipped out a spark scratch, and the bullets flew everywhere.

Then, before the FIAT-3000 light tanks could react, the turret of the Suit 1 turned again, and then the barrel was pointed straight at them.

The penetration of 57mm shells has reached 500m/100mm through the systematic increase of science and technology, and the penetration of shells is even higher in this kind of space, which is often only more than 300 meters or even shorter.

However, the 57mm shell can also only be a kinetic projectile, which makes Zhang Shixin feel the only thing that is dissatisfied.

In short, in the battle between Zhang Shixin's armored forces and the FIAT-3000 formation of the Italian Army, the FIAT-3000 light tanks almost "died at the sight", and the number was not as large as Zhang Shixin's armored troops.

"It's not to the point of exhaustion, don't ask for help from the navy."

So...... After about two minutes, Anzu? Aquino again gave the order to attack indiscriminately.

……

Zhang Shixin had long been prepared for this situation, because in fact, most of his tank troops were in places covered by houses, and even if the houses were blown up, as long as these tanks were not directly smashed or directly affected by the power of artillery shells, they would generally not be directly destroyed.

It can be said that this time it was more the second batch of Italians landing force than Zhang Shixin's summons and members of the Self-Defense Forces.

Many of the remaining FIAT-3000s, along with the infantry units behind them, were directly evaporated by a single 305mm shell......

The commander of the armored forces of the Italian army was directly stunned by this sudden blow, and he hurriedly said to the messenger: "Those bastards of the navy have hit their own people!! ”

The communicators quickly relayed the situation to the Navy, but their complaints were pointless......

Because this is in Anzu? In Aquino's eyes, it was a price that could be afforded.

……

Just when the second batch of landed Italian troops were blown to death by the navy's naval guns of various calibers, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Shixin's mouth.

Because, the sortie CD of 30 Ju-87s has finally cooled down.

So, in the clouds above Valencia, thirty Ju-87s appeared again.

However, this time, no one expected that an unexpected visitor would see a sight that she will never forget......

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

On a hospital ship flying the red cross flag, Song Ziyan was standing on the bow of the ship thinking about something.

However, when she looked out into the sea of Valencia, she saw faint black dots, large and small.

She hurriedly asked the officers of the German Condor Regiment who were accompanying her: "Are those warships, please give me the binoculars." ”

The latter was puzzled for a moment, then took off the telescope hanging around his neck and handed it to Song Ziyan.

Produced by Zeiss, it must be a high-quality product.

For the first time, Song Ziyan experienced the benefits of high-powered telescopes and the shock they bringed.

Because she saw dozens of planes flying down the clouds, and then rushed towards two rather huge warships.

After a while, a dense mass of anti-aircraft tracer shells (tracer shells are used to assist in correcting the shooting angle of the shooter, with ordinary shells, it is difficult for the shooter to know whether the shell has missed or not, so most of the tracer shells used by anti-aircraft guns are tracer shells) shot into the sky.

From time to time, planes were hit, but the planes emitting black smoke seemed to rush directly to the nearest ship.

Two rather huge warships began to move, but they could not get rid of the planes, which, having dropped something, quickly climbed away.

However, there seem to be quite few aircraft that are actually able to survive unscathed. Many planes were blown up by volleys during the climb......

Song Ziyan didn't know what happened next, because she was disturbed by the smoke and dust coming from the direction of Valencia.

……

After receiving the losses of nearly 20 planes from the JU-87S formation, Zhang Shixin basically hit the two main targets of the 25 torpedoes launched by the JU-87S formation.

One of the warships was hit by as many as eleven torpedoes, and the other, to a lesser extent, was hit by nine.

It can be said that the two "Count Cavour"-class battleships, unless there is a miracle, otherwise, they are no longer saved.

The rest is simple.

The remnants of the Italian fleet abandoned his friendly forces on shore and fled in the direction of Italy......

After receiving this fact, the remnants of the second group of landed Italian troops also raised the white flag and surrendered.

However, Zhang Shixin, who had not yet fully digested the fruits of playing victory, looked at Song Ziyan in surprise and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Song Ziyan rolled her eyes speechlessly...... (To be continued.) )
