The Chinese reinforcements descended from the sky, so that Archduke Ferdinand, who led less than 100,000 Austro-Greek troops to defend Budapest and prepare to fight the Italians here, was almost moved to tears. With more than five million casualties so far, especially the basis on which the Habsburgs maintained their rule, and the losses of the German elite on the battlefield, the already hard-tied empire is showing signs of falling apart, just look at the Italians everywhere in the south.

Bosnia, Croatia, Dalmatia, these places, there is no resistance at all, the Italians occupy these places are basically bloodless, and even now even the Hungarians are no longer willing to continue fighting, the Hungarian government is even in secret contact with the Entente, the Italians really hit Budapest, even he himself does not know what choice the Hungarian government will make, look at the main force he uses to defend Budapest is actually the Greeks, this has to be said to be very funny.

But now that the Chinese are coming, although there is only one army, it means that the Chinese have officially entered the battlefield in Europe, and this alone is enough, and this super empire in the far east will instantly lift the spirit of the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire like a dose of heroyin.

And the fact is indeed as he expected, on the fifth day after arriving in Budapest, the Third Army of the First Army of the Chinese reinforcement army launched a counterattack against the Italians attacking Budapest.

"Your Excellency, isn't this too risky, the total strength of the Italian Second Army will not be less than 200,000 at present, and it also has a tank brigade, although your army is a corps, it has no heavy artillery, not even battle defense artillery, in this case leave the strong fortress for field battles. Moreover, it is also an offensive war, and I am afraid that it is easy to suffer heavy casualties. Archduke Ferdinand kindly reminded the commander of this army, Mi Zhenbiao.

"Your Highness, what is most needed now is to boost the confidence of the people of Budapest, so we must have a victory that is sufficient for publicity, and even if the defense of the city achieves certain results, it cannot really be called a victory for the people, because the shells still fall on their heads after all, and only the defeat of the enemy in the field can really lift the spirits of the people, although this will bring certain casualties. But it is necessary. Mi Zhenbiao said with a holy face.

"Your Excellency, thank you so much!" Archduke Ferdinand said with deep emotion.

"Your Highness, we are friends, and friends should be selfless." Mi Zhenbiao said, in fact, this guy is just for show, he does not have heavy artillery, but he has 105mm recoilless guns, and 107mm rocket artillery, and the special artillery regiment that came from China with the second batch of airship reinforcements is these things. Of course, this is not the main thing. The main thing is that he can get air support from a hundred airships, and a group of Eagle fighter-bombers that have just flown from Sofia will provide him with air strikes against the Italian heavy artillery, and if he can't defeat an Italian army twenty kilometers away from Budapest, then he can just find a place to crash and die.

As for that tank brigade of the Italians. This thing in front of a 105mm recoilless gun and a bazooka, then it would be a pure joke.

The battle took place five hours later, and when he arrived at the outskirts of the Budapest defensive circle, General Baltini, the commander of the Sixth Army of the Italian Second Army, who was busy building heavy artillery positions, heard that three Chinese infantry divisions were coming at him. The whole person couldn't help but be at a loss, he really didn't understand why these Chinese gave up the strong fortress and had to run out to play field war with him? It's not scientific.

But soon the general realized. This was an opportunity for him to make a name for himself, and General Baltini, who had been hot-headed by the recent overwhelming attack, had long forgotten his fear of the Chinese, and then ordered his two divisions to defend with heavy artillery positions as the core, while his tank brigade and another division were hidden in a nearby dense forest on standby, once the Chinese were exhausted and had to retreat from the periphery of the heavy artillery position, these two elites would suddenly come out and disrupt the opponent from the flank with the speed advantage of the tank brigade. Then the two divisions responsible for the defense counterattacked.

It should be said that his plan is still very good, but unfortunately he does not know that his next opponent is not only on land.

"When will the airship arrive?" Mi Zhenbiao, who was sitting on a military off-road vehicle, looked at his watch and asked the communications soldier with the radio behind him.

"Twenty more minutes! Fearing that the Italians would be alert in advance, they came in a circle from the direction of Budapest. The communications soldier hurriedly said.

"Very well, inform the field airfield in Budapest that the fighter-bomber is on!" Mi Zhenbiao said with satisfaction: Immediately after that, on the Austro-Hungarian military airfield in Budapest, dozens of Eagle fighter-bombers began to take off one after another, and the distance was so close that they appeared above the Italians almost before they could climb into the air.

"Fire, fire!" With a series of screams, more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns and more than 20 anti-aircraft machine guns around the Italian heavy artillery positions instantly spewed flames, what they didn't know was that these anti-aircraft fire points were the real targets of these Eagle fighter-bombers, after luring the Italians to open fire, one giant eagle after another in the sky immediately dived down, and then one after another 50-kilogram aerial bombs smashed into these anti-aircraft positions, as the explosion of fire rose one after another, one after another anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns turned into parts and flew into the sky.

The anti-aircraft guns of the Italians were supported by Britain and France, and the anti-aircraft machine guns were imitated according to the Chinese goods in the hands of the Russians, because the material performance was not enough, so the rate of fire was less than half of the former, and these things were a bit difficult even to deal with the Austro-Hungarian fighters with a speed of less than two hundred per hour, let alone against the Hawk with a speed of four hundred, but Italy's luck was also good, they damaged one, but because the airport was too close, the pilot immediately turned around and landed at the airport.

After this round of bombing, the Italian air defense force was gone, and then the huge bombing formation of a hundred airships swaggered over, and when he saw the fierce beasts in the sky that appeared like a cover of the sky, General Baltini was about to cry, and in his sad and indignant eyes, countless solidified bullets fell like raindrops, and his entire defense line directly turned into a sea of fire, and those poor Italian soldiers struggled and wailed in pain in the hellfire one by one, and then turned into piles of curled ashes, This round of bombing alone caused more than half of the Italians to be killed or wounded.

What's more, all their heavy artillery is gone.

The ravaging airship returned satisfied, and just as the remaining fire on the ground was still burning, the Chinese attack began.

"Quick, quickly order the tank brigade to attack!" General Baltini shouted anxiously, he knew very well that the remnants of the defeated army in his hands could not even stop a single charge of the enemy, in fact, at this time the remnants of the Italian soldiers on the position were fleeing, even the whip of the Overseer could not stop them, the poor fools were frightened by this cruel war, they could never forget how those compatriots who were set alight by the coagulated qiyou bullets died in despair, those unquenchable flames are indeed only possessed by hell.

One hundred and fifty British-made Vickers light tanks of the Tank Brigade hidden in the dense forest in the distance immediately started, these tanks made with Chinese engines and gearboxes weighed only nine tons, but they were fast, they could reach speeds of thirty kilometers per hour, and of course if they were off-road, they would be twenty at most.

"Commander, the Italians are in chariot!" The communications officer hurriedly reminded Mi Zhenbiao that in front of the planes in the sky, General Baltini's little trick was just a joke.

"Then give them a greeting first!" Mi Zhenbiao said with a smile, and then waved his hand at the rocket artillery position beside him, and twenty-four twelve-barreled 107 mm rocket launchers immediately poured nearly three hundred shells in an instant according to the coordinates of the Italian army's hiding place that had been reconnoitred, and then the soldiers next to him reloaded them as quickly as possible.

The Italians' chariot brigade is scattered and hiding in the woods, there is no order at all, at this time it has just started to start, and suddenly countless fires with a strange whistling smash down, and in an instant a person is on his back, and if a 107 mm shell is in the middle, it is easy to smash this small chariot into parts, even if it explodes next to it, it is easy to overturn the chariot, and those trees that have been blown up are crisscrossed in the woods, which also makes many surviving chariots unable to move, and less than half of the chariots can still drive out after a round of shelling, And immediately after the second round of shelling was smashed, the half inside had no hope of opening.

However, the commander of the tank brigade was very valiant, which inspired his ferocity, and by this time the Chinese had already set foot on the position of General Baltini, and if he was unable to turn the tide, it was obviously a crushing defeat, and under the cover of a small number of infantry who dared to attack, seventy tanks heroically charged the Chinese.

And at this time, from the Chinese soldiers drove out of the military off-road vehicles, each car has a large thick pipe, before the Italians can figure out what these tubes are, those nozzles have been spewing flames one after another, the 105mm recoilless gun is too cruel for this kind of small combat vehicle, in fact, even if there is no shaped charge, simply touching the grenade is enough to destroy them, after using the shaped charge of the warhead, it is very inhumane.
