"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ......" Countless artillery pieces roared, and the German, Italian and Bulgarian troops on the opposite side of the position struggled to survive under the artillery fire.

During World War II, Greece had a small and poorly equipped army. But it was this army that directly packed up the Italian army that was trying to capture Greece.

"Hitler always asked me to accept the facts, and this time I wanted to return the favor, and he would read in the newspapers about my capture of Greece." Mussolini's rhetoric was quite good, but the fact was that after his Noodle Army was killed by the Greeks for more than 10,000, he had to choose to retreat.

Fortunately, Greece did not have much of a military-industrial base of its own, and at the same time, the Allies were unable to provide the effective support that history had once given.

As a result, Greece was quickly captured by the Germans without effective support. In order to appease the allies, the Germans largely cut off Greece and handed over part of it to the Italians and Bulgarians.

As a result, Greece was brutally and directly cut off by the Axis powers. At the same time, some Greeks chose to join the Axis powers, thus forming a pro-Axis government.

Germany assisted Italy and other Axis powers in attacking Greece, which led to the failure of the Barbarossa plan to be implemented smoothly. Although they annihilated a large number of the main Soviet forces, they were not able to capture Moscow within the scheduled time.

Even later planted a big heel in Moscow, which was caught off guard by the Allied counterattack. This led to the loss of a large number of troops in the Battle of Moscow.

After the occupation of Greece, it was divided into three occupation zones of Italy, Germany, and Bulgaria after negotiation.

The Germans occupied strategically important areas such as Athens, Thessaloniki, Central Macedonia and several Aegean islands, including Crete.

Eastern Macedonia and Thrace were occupied and annexed by Bulgaria, which had long claimed the land. The remaining two-thirds of Greece was occupied by Italy, and the Ionian Islands were directly ruled by Italy.

Germany, on the other hand, had suffered the losses of Moscow. They grew resentful of Greece, which had resisted and forced them to send troops back. As a result, they have done more to Greece than to any other region in Europe.

All raw materials, food, and machinery were requisitioned without compensation, and the Greek collaborator government was forced to pay for the military expenses of the occupation forces, which caused the extremely high inflation in Greece at that time.

To add insult to injury, Greece was also forced to provide Germany with a large "war loan", which Germany never repaid. This caused the Greek drachma to be severely devalued and even worthless for a time.

Although neutral countries such as Sweden and Turkey provided food aid, the vast majority of it went into the hands of government officials and black marketeers linked to the Axis occupation authorities.

The grain never reached the hands of the Greeks, and those with the background and power would "buy" it from the occupation authorities and sell it on the black market at a vastly inflated price to the desperate Greek starving.

They recklessly squeezed the last vestige of the Greeks, forcing them to exchange their stashed assets for their own survival.

And those Greeks who had nothing left could only starve to death in despair. The Axis powers and local powers contributed to the Great Famine of the winters of 1941 and 1942. In Greater Athens alone, 300,000 people perished.

And the rule of the Germans in Greece was incomparably cruel. Because of their oppression, Greece was full of smoke. Everywhere there was the presence of guerrillas and rebels.

The German ruling authorities, for their part, dealt with the opposition in a manner similar to Japan's "Three Light Policy". During this time, hundreds of small Greek villages and towns disappeared, and tens of thousands of people were able to be found by the mass executioners.

Millions of people have been displaced and homeless. In fact. This is one of the reasons why the Greek government did not want the German-led EU to enter Greece even if it was bankrupt.

Without him, Germany did too much damage to Greece back then. So much so that Greece has been unable to trust Germany, let alone the German-led European Union.

"Attack! Fast!! Follow the tanks and rush to the position!! A roar came from the position, but countless figures in the night jumped out of the trench and rushed forward with a roar.

This is a special unit attached to the Chinese National Defense Forces, and most of the officers and soldiers in this unit are Jewish. Only a small number are Chinese.

This is not the first time they have entered the battlefield, but it is when they are most excited. Once upon a time, they were scattered among the Wehrmacht units for training.

This. It was the first time they had been gathered to fight on a single battlefield.

And on this battlefield, there is another active force. They were the rebels and guerrillas of Greece, and these rebels and guerrillas were supposed to look out for themselves.

Occasionally fighting together, but only a small cooperation does not form a powerful force. It wasn't until Zhang Xueliang was stationed in Turkey that they were twisted together to form a complete combat force.

In order to screw them together, Zhang Xueliang completely attached the system of the National Defense Force to this newly established unit. Even in this unit, many people have studied in the temporary non-commissioned officer training class established by Zhang Xueliang.

"Quick! Those damned Jews and Greeks are coming up! Block them!! The German commander on the opposite side was also roaring.

A large number of German soldiers began to pour out of the anti-artillery holes and entered positions to begin preparations for a counterattack.

In a few moments, the German positions were filled with the roar of machine guns and artillery fire. After all, the German army is not the Japanese army, they have a complete industrial system and a supporting supply of ammunition.

Yes. They still have a large number of artillery and tank armoured groups. This put a lot of pressure on the attacking Wehrmacht, who were under German covering fire before they could reach their positions.

Then, a large number of tanks roared and rushed directly towards them. and the Wehrmacht tanks who tried to break through the position, strangled together.

"It's not easy to fight...... Zhang Xueliang slowly put down the binoculars and sighed: "These Germans." It's not a trivial one. The Japanese are better than them. It's not a little bit worse......"

Wang Yajiao, who was on the side, nodded when he heard this, and said, "It's true, the Germans are not comparable to the Japanese in terms of training and weaponry. That's why the Commander-in-Chief has been postponing a head-on fight with Germany......"

The Germans were indeed difficult to deal with, and in history, the Soviet Union fought the German army by beating itself half to death, and paid more than double the total casualties of the German army in the entire World War II to achieve victory.

And when the Soviet army was attacking the Japanese Kwantung Army, it was simply an adult beating a child without half a minute of delay. In less than a month. Known as the flower of the Japanese Army, the million-strong army of the Kwantung Army was wiped out.

Hundreds of thousands were killed, and the rest were taken prisoner. The casualties paid by the Soviet army were only more than 30,000. Compared with the German army, the Japanese army was not at all a unit of the same grade.

One was a strong army that was enough to give the Allies a headache, and the other was a group of troops that were almost muddy.

"Boom!!" During the attack, an IDF tank was directly blown up. Large-caliber anti-tank guns were also used by the Germans. mounted on their Tiger tanks.

And this anti-tank gun is powerful enough to blast the new tanks equipped in the Wehrmacht directly.

"Tom...... Rumble! The attacking Wehrmacht units were also unable to show weakness, and directly knocked out two German tanks. Suddenly, the roar of the engines, explosions, and the crushing of the tracks in front of the position became one.

Countless black shadows swirled in the firelight, and the air torn by bullets and shells flew......

"Let's withdraw first, we won't be able to get anything good if we continue to fight like this......" Zhang Xueliang looked at the situation on the battlefield and sighed helplessly.

And the chief of staff next to him nodded. Then he hurried down and passed the order on. The troops who received the order began to slowly withdraw from the offensive positions, and the Germans did not pursue.

The two sides were on alert and withdrew from the area of attack.

"Commander, I beg to attack again! This time, we will definitely be able to take the position! Once! Just once!! "Rambham, a division commander of the attacking Jewish legion.

His Chinese name is Xiang Cheng. Because after he finished reading the "Historical Records". Infinite worship of Xiang Yu. I want to be able to be such a powerful person to protect my people.

Therefore, he named him Xiang Cheng.

"Old Xiang, it's not that I don't attack you. But look at it, it's already in a stalemate just now. If we continue to fight like this, we will lose a lot! Zhang Xueliang comforted the bearded teacher.

"We have to adjust the tactics, we can't be so tough! The soldiers are not afraid to die in battle, but this is not a reason for us to disregard their lives. Zhang Xueliang said to Rambham: "I will see if we can seize this position with smaller losses with the staff department." ”

"Yes!" Despite his reluctance, Rambam complied. This is the habit of the Wehrmacht. You can present your opinion to your boss.

But the order must be carried out thoroughly. Whether your boss gives you an explanation or not, obedience is a soldier's duty.

"Commander, sort it out......" After a while, the chief of staff returned to the headquarters with a gloomy face and handed over a document to Zhang Xueliangdao.

"Just now, we lost more than 700 people. Four tanks were destroyed...... "paused. The chief of staff said with a wry smile: "The losses of the Germans are incalculable, but there are three tanks left on the battlefield. The corpses were probably two or three hundred......"

Zhang Xueliang's face was very ugly, although he guessed that his own losses would be great. But he did not expect that there would be so many losses than the Germans.

When Wang Yajiao heard this, he sighed and left the headquarters. He was not the commander of the war, he was only the head of the intelligence agency. This time, I also came out of concern about the situation on the battlefield.

The battle situation was unfavorable, and he didn't have the heart to watch it anymore. What he wanted to do now was to contact the Greek Resistance in the rear and provide as much assistance to the Wehrmacht as possible.

For example, attacking the supply lines of the German army, such as sneaking up on the strategic nodes of the German army. Of course, the crows that are dormant in Turkey should also take action.

After Wang Yajiao left, Zhang Xueliang convened an emergency military meeting. The topic of the meeting was how to attack the German positions. It has to be admitted that the Germans learned a lot from the defeat on the Japanese side.

For example, in terms of positional defense, their fortifications clearly absorbed the characteristics of the Japanese and Soviet armies. The construction of anti-artillery holes and the construction of artillery concealment points in the rear have been completed very well.

The Wehrmacht tried to destroy the German artillery. However, it was found that the German artillery fire was still working after the bombardment. To this end, the IDF sent reconnaissance teams.

Only then did it become clear that the Germans placed the artillery in the anti-artillery fortifications and rolled it out when it was used. And when the bombardment was over, it was withdrawn. Even their artillery counterattack caused certain losses in the Wehrmacht artillery.

The detachment wanted to touch the German artillery positions, but the German defense system was very sharp. Even before they had time to make their moves, they were already discovered by the Germans just by observing.

If it weren't for the quick withdrawal. Perhaps the entire squad would have been annihilated by the Germans.

"It's hard to fight! It's really fucking hard to fight! Liang Dashan looked at the map and frowned, the Germans obviously considered every node where an attack might occur.

At the same time, several counterattack positions were set up. Layer upon layer, even if one part of the Wehrmacht broke into the German position, as long as the rest did not keep up, then it would face the danger of being surrounded and strangled by the German army.

And that's not all, Bulgarian troops and Italian troops on the border are also coming. Several sides were eyeing each other and preparing to cooperate with the German army. A full-scale counterattack against the Wehrmacht.

"You can't fight, you can only attack hard!" Yan Chenghan threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on the cigarette butt and said, "Our fighter unit will clean the airspace first, and then blow up his son of a bitch!" ”

"The armored troops followed, and then we rushed with men!" Yan Chenghan said, paused and said, "Now it seems." That's all we can do. Otherwise, I can't think of any other way......"

Li Yannian, the commander of the Second Artillery Corps, who rushed to the position on the side, said hesitantly when he heard this: "Let the Air Force bomb him first, and then I will blow him up after the bombing!" We haven't tried our new rockets yet! Just in time for them to try! ”

Gao Zhihang, the person in charge of the Wehrmacht Air Force in the expeditionary force, nodded and said, "If we have a good line of sight during the day, our fighters can be dispatched." Clear the airspace first. If they don't come, we'll be on guard first, and then we'll blow it up! ”

The people who came were all veterans of the Wehrmacht. The battles are extremely agile. A glance at the position shows that the German army's defensive strength is completely incomparable to that of the Japanese army.

It's a complete iron box, and there's no other way than to take a hammer and knock it to death. In fact, the Allies in the Soviet Union did not do so?!

They only used their lives to desperately pile up on the top before they finally took the German position. The Wehrmacht over there did not suffer much losses, because the main attack was on American and Soviet troops.

And here, Zhang Xueliang directly faced the German troops. He had no choice but to dodge.

Early in the morning, the adjusted troops began to slowly assemble. This time, the Wehrmacht dispatched 55 tanks and more than 10,000 men. They were all quietly on standby.

By seven o'clock in the morning, the roar of the plane was slowly heard. However, he saw at least 100 or more warplanes flying in the rear of the Wehrmacht. These fighters circled and went straight to the German positions!

At this time, a large group of fighters also flew behind the German positions. But not as many as the Wehrmacht, only thirty or forty.

As soon as the two sides met, they immediately fought together.

For a while, the sky was filled with the roar of fighter engines and the sound of cannon fire. From time to time in the sky, fighters are hit directly. Trailing the tail flame and falling from the sky.

At this time, the ground forces of the Wehrmacht also launched a strong offensive. The fifty-five tanks took the lead, supported by artillery fire from the rear. There was a fierce bombardment of the German positions.

Suddenly, a tragic picture appeared on the battlefield, and the sky was filled with constant explosions and roars. On the ground was countless shells and dust kicked up by tracks.

Countless fighters, under the cover of tanks and dust, rushed towards the German positions.

At this time, German artillery fire immediately came. The first thing they bombarded was the tank troops, but fortunately the infantry and the tanks were at a distance.

Although he suffered some losses, he did not break his muscles and bones. After a while, the German artillery fire began to extend. Wehrmacht tanks, on the other hand, broke through the smoke of artillery fire and went straight to the German positions.

At this time, tanks also appeared on the German positions. They pounced on the Wehrmacht tanks, and the two sides were strangled less than a kilometre in front of the position.

The roar of artillery shells was deafening, and the Wehrmacht fighters who rushed up began to set up anti-tank guns and anti-tank rockets. It was a barrage of bombardment against the German tanks!

"Whoosh......" At this time, Li Yannian's Second Artillery Corps began to make its own voice. They had already figured out the location of the German artillery positions, and they began to plan to destroy the German artillery while the Germans extended their artillery fire.

However, countless rockets dragged their tail flames and swooped directly at the artillery positions of the German troops in the rear. Then a violent explosion sounded, and smoke and dust billowed from the rear of the German army.

"Attack! Don't give them a respite! Right away!! Zhang Xueliang pulled open his collar and roared: "It's now!" Losing this opportunity, the Germans will slow down and it will be even more difficult for us to fight! ”

With Zhang Xueliang's order, a tank unit of the Wehrmacht suddenly swooped out from the flank of the battlefield. They rushed out, and then with a slam brake, they fired directly at the German tanks!
