Chapter 566: Goldfinger

Next, the Italians in Verona were unlucky, and the army group led by Lieutenant General Bliss was a heavy punch that pinned the hopes of the entire Entente on it, super-large caliber heavy artillery, DU gas bombs, white phosphorus RAN burn bombs... In short, whatever is the most ruthless is used, the train behind pulls the ammunition in a steady stream, all the artillery in front of it keeps bombarding, and even dozens of airships, more than 200 fighters, in short, this ancient city is used as an iron block on a cutting block, and all the big and small hammers can be smashed up until it is smashed into its ideal shape.

Or to put it simply, smashed into ruins.

The tenacious British of the poor ghosts of Montenegro had long learned that the plain positional warfare was better, and once they were allowed to enter the mountains or cities to hold on, then these mountain people were more difficult than the Germans, so the British directly acquiesced to Bliss's indiscriminate attack, except for the Italian media, which angrily denounced the criminal behavior of the North Americans, the other Allied media were all silent.

However, Bliss also angered the Italians, and just as he was washing the city in Verona, the Italian Second Army defending Mantua, under the attack of the German Sixteenth Army led by François, retreated westward with almost no decent resistance, leaving his line open to let the Germans in, allowing them to attack the flank and rear of Bliss to the north, but fortunately prepared for the rout of the Italians, the North American Fourth Army on the south bank of the Po River quickly crossed the Po River and also attacked François's flank.

On the side of the Allies, the Greeks were defeated, and on the side of the Allies, the Italians were defeated, and the battlefield in this area actually became a severely reduced German army group against two fully manned North American armies, such a comparison of forces will certainly not have much suspense, and just when the two sides were fighting, a British army group squeezed out of the Belgian front line also began to arrive by train one after another, just two days later, when Bliss bombed Verona into rubble, When the 30,000 Montenegrin troops inside were bombarded with more than 100,000 Italian civilians, the winner was finally decided on the battlefield.

François led the remnants of his German army of about 50,000 to be surrounded by the North American Fourth Army in Mantua. The flanks of the entire Confederate defense line were completely opened, and then the North American Army led by Bliss and some of the British troops who had just arrived went straight to Vicenza. Garrisoned here were the Greeks who had been routed here, and in the face of the powerful American-British coalition forces, these guys did not hesitate to choose to rout again, and the US-British coalition forces continued to advance like bamboos, and in less than three days they directly hit Venice. The remaining Austro-Hungarian 11th Army and the Greek 2nd Army on the Zipo River line immediately panicked, because their logistics would be cut off as soon as the combined American and British forces captured Venice.

At this point, it was pointless to hold the Po line of defense, and Admiral Boroyevich immediately ordered the two armies to retreat, and then a North American army and three Italian armies opposite them crossed the Po River, and the two Italian armies that had been defeated saw that victory was within reach. Also reorganized and then slaughtered to Venice. Boroyevich was forced out by this huge enemy after only a slight pause in Venice and retreated to the east bank of the Piave River, he wanted to hold on here, but unfortunately the Greeks did not have the courage, just after two North American armies and a British army group appeared at the same time, the Greeks did not hesitate to continue to rout, and the grief-stricken Boroyevich had to retreat with his Austro-Hungarian army, and in this way retreated to the east bank of the Isonzo River.

As for François's department, which was trapped in Mantua, after running out of ammunition. The infantry general had to lead the remnants of about 40,000 German troops to surrender to the Fourth Army in North America, the highest-ranking German general to surrender to date, and his surrender also represented the total annihilation of the German Sixteenth Army, which was also the first German army group to be completely destroyed to date.

News of the reconquest of all the lands in one fell swoop quickly spread throughout Italy. The whole of Italy was full of cheers of victory, as if the victory had been achieved, but this also drowned out the accusations that the North Americans had destroyed Verona, and of course it was only the Italians cheering victory. For the Allies as a whole, this was just the beginning, and the next thing they had to do was to face the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack line of the Isonzo River. At that time, an Austro-Hungarian army group was holding back two million Italian troops here, and in this narrow area, the Allies' superiority in strength was of little significance.

The fiasco on the Italian battlefield, although it did not cause much concern to William, but it made Emperor Joseph nervous, he knew very well that if the Isonzo River could not be blocked, the next war would burn to his own land, although now Austria-Hungary and Germany are exhausted, but fortunately, because of the recent Ottoman offensive in the Caucasus and the domestic three-day chaos at both ends, Nikolai drew a lot of Russian troops from the Galician front, so he also squeezed out part of the Austrian army to supplement Borojevich's attrition, After the defeat of the Greeks, a large number of generals were removed one after another in the country, and many of them were even shot, so they barely recovered a little morale.

The Greek government is also very clear that soon the Chinese will be able to rush to reinforcements, and now they must grit their teeth and hold on to this last difficult moment, victory is already beckoning, the colonies are already beckoning, the glory of great Greece is already beckoning, of course they don't know that a devil's claw is also beckoning to them at this time.

On the royal wharf of Tianjin Port, a group of attendants, including the chief attendant, still did not change the emperor's determination to sail alone to go fishing, fortunately, he also knew that there would be no danger on the Bohai Sea now, after asking the Empress Xià to learn that Emperor Yang had often done this before, Yuan finally let Emperor Yang go, but in order to prevent accidents, he still contacted the Beiyang Fleet in advance and cleared the entire Bohai Sea, including the merchant ships that entered Tianjin Port were driven to Qingdao Port.

However, this is also exactly what Emperor Yang wants, and not long after the small boat of the Black Arrow paddle steamer driving him out of Dagukou, this guy disappeared into the sea with the boat and people.

Three hours later, in the Yellow Sea in southern North Korea, a transport ship bearing the Monsanto logo lifted a giant steel container weighing tens of tons to the surface and allowed it to sink to the bottom of the sea.

"Captain, what are we doing here?" A crew member asked inexplicably, the giant container was shipped directly from the Monsanto factory in Gwangju, North Korea, and the destination was supposed to be the port of Tianjin, and the manifest said a new type of pesticide with the name of the two English letters VX.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" The captain glared at him and said.

The crew sneered, but at this moment, he seemed to see that the color of the sea was slightly darker, this guy subconsciously wiped his eyes, and then took a closer look at nothing special, just at this time someone called him, so he left without much thought.

At a depth of fifty meters below the merchant ship, a huge black shadow passed silently like a swimming manta ray, and the container that had been thrown into the sea slowly landed on its back, and then disappeared in an instant.

After another two hours, just when it was just dark, the black shadow that had been quietly parked at the bottom of the sea began to slowly rise, and soon revealed its true face on the surface of the sea, this is a giant jet plane hundreds of meters long, and soon the jet ports at both ends of the wing and the tail of the aircraft turned down very strangely, and the scorching air flow erupted instantly, and the plane began to rise gradually from the sea surface, until it rose to an altitude of five hundred meters, and those vents were leveled in the same strange way, at the moment when the plane fell slightly, Pushed by the jet of air, he raised his head suddenly, and then soared straight into the sky due west, disappearing into the night in an instant.

"Oops, I haven't played for many years, and I'm still a little excited." On the plane transformed from a shuttle, Emperor Yang looked at the big jar in front of him and said with emotion. This jar of Monsanto's latest VX is the golden finger he is ready to give to the Entente, with the current strength of the Entente in the battlefield of the Isonzo River, it is completely possible to break through the defense line of the Austro-Hungarian and Greek alliances, but it will take a longer time, but Emperor Yang's goal is to make them hit Serbia in the shortest possible time, and then block the Chinese European Corps that is about to board the train in Basra to rush to reinforcements, all of which can only be opened to them.

Twenty tons of VX sprayed on the defense line of the alliance, not to mention that they are all dead, and there will definitely not be too many living people left, after all, the power of this thing is there, and this thing is colorless and tasteless, and it is impossible to prevent it, at this time, fly over, and arrive there at a speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour, it is just night, maybe the two sides are still fighting at night, and those Austro-Hungarian and Greek soldiers do not have much reaction time, so that the effect can be maximized.

He guessed correctly, just nine hours later, when this guy flew to Italy, on the battlefield of the Isonzo River, those heroic American and British soldiers were under the cover of dense artillery fire, with the light of flares flowing half a waist deep river towards the east bank of the attack, but under the same dense fire on the opposite bank, these soldiers exposed to the open river were being slaughtered like dogs, and the dead bodies were flowing down the river in patches, drifting with the blood-red river towards the Adriatic Sea.

"Attack, keep attacking! In any case, it is necessary to break through the enemy line tonight, no matter how many people die, this task must be completed, just got the intelligence, the first Chinese army soldiers have already boarded the train in Basra, do you understand? Our time is running out, we must get ahead of them and attack Serbia, or we will lose this war that has lasted for four years! "On the West Bank, a British general, wielding a saber, yelled at a colonel who had begged him to stop the attack.

It was then that he noticed that the colonel was looking at the sky like a fool.

"Bastard, what are you looking at, did you listen to me?" The general rebuked.

"General, general, look, look there!" The Colonel said with his lips trembling as he pointed to the top of his head.

The general turned his head in astonishment, and then he was stupid! (To be continued......)
