Eight hundred forty-nine. Italian allies
Artillery fire roars across the battlefield, and the whistling of bullets can take countless lives at any moment.
The U.S. offensive was ferocious, much more than the previous performance. In fact, this is also a normal reaction of a unit on the battlefield.
When they first arrived in Germany, these American troops never set foot on a real battlefield, but they faced the German army that had experienced the baptism of the First and Second World Wars. As soon as the gunshots rang out, their fear and panic could be imagined.
However, as the war progressed, these new recruits on the battlefield gradually began to accumulate experience and were more proficient in dealing with the terrible battlefield.
No matter what kind of army it is, it will always grow slowly on the battlefield.
They had absolute superiority in firepower, suppressing German artillery fire to the death, and the combined bombardment of the sky and ground made the German defense more difficult. And in such a situation, the attack of the Americans became much smoother.
In any other army, it is afraid that it will collapse under such an intense attack, but the Americans are faced with a group of soldiers with extremely rich combat experience and incredible faith.
Only twenty years have passed since the Second World War, and the German army that emerged from the war knew exactly how the war should be fought. The ordinary soldiers and low-ranking officers in the Great War of the World have now grown into the middle force of the German commanders.
\In the past 20 years, the United States has been developing at a high speed, and Germany is also developing at a high speed. These German officers and soldiers knew how to deal with the challenge. Know how to protect yourself to the greatest extent under the enemy's dense artillery fire.
If it weren't for Kroll, it would not have been certain who would win or lose in the clash between Germany and the United States......
Now there is no point in blaming who resents whom, the only thing that the German soldiers know. It was they who had to be nailed here until the time the baron needed to come.
When the American offensive began, all the fire from the German positions was in full swing. Bazookas, light and heavy machine guns, assault rifles, everything that could be used was put to good use.
And those who don't have a lot of armor power are doing their best to support their companions.
Here, all Germans are one, and they must also be united. It was with a fearless spirit that the pre-war goals could be achieved.
Allied armored vehicles were constantly being routed, and Allied soldiers were dying, but the German positions remained unshaken as if they were made of steel.
Wang Weiyi has been paying attention to the development of the battle situation. He was proud that he had such a unit. Despite being away for twenty years, the German soldiers were still invincible.
However, at this time, Wang Weiyi suddenly got a strange news: the 33rd Infantry Division of the French Army, which had originally participated in the frontal attack, suddenly withdrew from the battlefield, judging from the direction of their movements. It was a movement towards the right flank of the German army there.
What's going on? The frontal Allies did not take advantage in the slightest. Why would you suddenly attack the German flank? Although it was a defensive position of the German Nationalist Army, the German command could quickly mobilize reinforcements in the event that the Nationalist Army was under strong pressure, and the Allies could not take advantage of it at all.
Why did the enemy do this? Is there any conspiracy on the part of the enemy?
The Allied intelligence secrecy was done very well, and the German intelligence agencies suffered very heavy losses under the deliberate sabotage of Kloll and Wolff, so the Allied calls and telegrams, the Germans could not grasp them.
This also reminded Wang Weiyi of Nikolai. Although old Nikolai was an enemy with himself, he did not dare to slack off in the provision of information.
From this point of view. Nikolai the Elder was a real German soldier......
The German commanders were also baffled that there was no point in the Allies doing this. Or rather. Are they engaged in some kind of conspiracy?
Wang Weiyi thought about it for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "The enemy army responsible for the attack on the right flank is Italians?" ”
"Yes, the Italian units of the Terrasu Infantry Division and the Nestans Rapid Mobile Brigade."
Wang Weiyi laughed out loud: "I know what's going on, I guess the Italians lied to the Allied command about the military situation, and they may have occupied our right flank. ”
"Lying about the military?" General Olitz was a little unconvinced: "The Italians dare to lie about the military situation? ”
"It must be like this." Wang Weiyi replied with a smile: "The Italians used to be our allies, and when they were in North Africa, they lied about the military situation many times, saying how great a victory they had achieved, and the German army suffered enough. Now, it's time for Americans to taste the bitterness. ”
Indeed, when Germany and Italy were still allies, on the battlefield of the Second World War, the German commanders were almost crushed by the Italians. They didn't know how many Italians had caught up on the road, and when the Italians told them that a certain position had been captured and that the Germans had launched an attack according to the original plan, they found that the positions that were so-called "captured" by the Italians were still full of enemy firepower, and there was not a single Italian around. The Italians also told them that a certain position was being held by them, and that the Germans could safely hold back the enemy in front of them. But it didn't take long for the German flanks to emerge with a large number of enemies.
Those veteran German generals who experienced the Second World War knew that "never believe a word spoken by an Italian officer"......
The Italians betrayed Germany and joined the Allies, was this a disaster or a relief for Germany? Is it luck for Americans or the beginning of a curse?
"Two assault squadrons from the German regiment were transferred into the skeleton commando, plus the Nordland combat regiment, all under my personal command, and we had to 'welcome' the French." Wang Weiyi quickly made his own decision: "General Guo Yunfeng, General Olitz." The frontal battlefield is in your hands, and I will personally go to our right flank. ”
Hearing that the marshal was going to go to the battlefield in person, General Ollitz was trying to persuade him. Guo Yunfeng shook his head at him.
No one knew the Rambler better than he did, and the Rambler did not want to be this marshal at all, if not necessary. Being a front-line commander is more to his liking.
In this sense, Wang Weiyi is not a competent marshal......
......
Half an hour ago.
"General Katavaso, General Garden's call."
Damn Americans, why are they calling again? Annoyed by the Americans, Katawasso reluctantly took the phone: "Mr. Commander. Is there something you can do? ”
"General Katavaso, two hours have passed, have you fulfilled your promise? The frontal assault did not go well. I need to break through on the flanks. ”
"Of course, Mr. Commander, the promise of an Italian general is completely trustworthy." Katavaso's answer was so unthinking: "Do you hear me, my soldiers are cheering from the enemy's positions. ”
"Congratulations. General Catavaso. I didn't expect your soldiers to behave so well...... Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you...... The Terassus Infantry Division and the Nestans Rapid Mobile Brigade were the first to accomplish their pre-battle objectives, and I order you to continue to break through in depth and launch attacks on the German flanks as soon as possible......"
"Yes, Mr. Commander."
"At the same time, I will send the 33rd Infantry Division of the French Army to assist you."
"Ah, French? Help us? The sweat on Katavaso's forehead came down at once: "No, Mr. Commander. With the help of Italian soldiers, the task was quite possible. ”
"General Katavaso, don't be careless. The reason why you were able to make such a quick breakthrough is that, judging by our intelligence, you are facing the German National Army, they are not regularly armed. But as the breakthrough progresses, you will encounter more and more stubborn resistance, and you must be fully reinforced, good luck. ”
The phone hung up, and General Cartavaso was a little helpless.
Damn, their own soldiers didn't cheer from the enemy's positions. His own soldiers, who had just been repulsed once more, were now happily preparing lunch there. Ah yes, prepare lunch, at a time when the war is so fierce.
At the thought of lunch, General Catavaso felt that his stomach was also a little hungry.
No, you can't think about the stomach for the time being, the French will soon arrive, and you will find out your lies at once, what to do?
When General Garden asked him just now, he bragged about it, who would have thought that General Garden would actually increase reinforcements, this damn Garden, why would he add this trouble to himself?
He looked at Chief of Staff Glotta, who also had a headache, General Katavaso didn't bother to brag about this, what is he doing? But in the face of the commander's answer, Glota had to think for a while: "General, I have a solution. To the west of us, is Pusweiten, and I think our army can go there. ”
"Pusweden? What do we do in Pusweden? General Katawasso listened inexplicably.
"General, we may say that we were suddenly attacked by a large number of elite troops of the enemy, and we drove away some of them, but there were so many enemies that we had to retreat to Pwhiden. Of course, we did our best. ”
"And how can I explain that there are still Germans in the position in front of us?"
"Ah, let's just say that the Germans recaptured this place after we left......"
"My dear Glotta, do you know what I like about you? Because you are always there to help me when I need it. General Cartavaso became excited again: "Just do as you say, and order the soldiers to hurry up and eat." Ah, speaking of which, I'm hungry too, and I need to eat a big meal. Being a front-line commander is hard work. ”
The Italians treated the war as a child's play, and they did not think about the impact of their actions on the whole situation, and even if they lost the war, it seemed that it had nothing to do with them.
And General Garden also made a very serious mistake, he could not have imagined that an Italian general would lie to himself, especially at such an important moment. Therefore, without even basic aerial reconnaissance, he believed the words of the Italians and hastily transferred the French 33rd Infantry Division from the battlefield.
This is also a mistake that commanders who have just stepped on the battlefield without any previous combat experience are prone to make.
This is exactly what Wang Weiyi said. The pain that Germany once tasted is now being tasted by the Americans......
......
"General Oppermann, Field Marshal Ernst has arrived."
"What did you say?" General Opperman was taken aback: "Who did you say was coming?" ”
"Ernst. Marshal Bram has arrived! ”
Oppleman was dumbfounded. Did you hallucinate? Baron Alexon actually appeared here?
But this is not an illusion, Baron Alexon is really here, and he has brought a large number of reinforcements.
"Field Marshal Ernst, welcome to Optmann, commander of the National Army!" In front of the baron, Oppleman could not hide his nervousness.
The soldiers of the National Army, like their own commanders, were extremely nervous, and some of their bodies even began to tremble.
My God. If you tell others to hear it, others won't believe it, but you actually met Baron Alexon here!
"Feng. General Opperman, thank you and the National Army for your efforts. Wang Weiyi eased the other party's nervousness with a smile: "I heard that you once participated in the final attack battle of Moscow?" ”
"Yes. Marshal, I will never forget every word you said that day. I even remember the song of the armored soldiers that resounded on the battlefield. Opperman's face glowed with excitement: "It was the most glorious day of my life!" ”
It was also the most glorious day for every German!
"Whether it's a blizzard or a scorching sun. Whether it's a hot day or a cold night. Even if the yellow sand is blowing in the face. And we're still in a good mood. Our tanks. Race to the storm! Our chariots, galloping towards the storm! ”
When the song of the Panzers sounded, the chapter of Germany's greatest victory also began!
"Very well, then you're a veteran." Wang Weiyi nodded approvingly: "Please tell me, are you afraid of those Italians?" ”
"Hey, marshal, you can shoot me, but you can't insult me." Oppleman cried out, as if in the greatest humiliation, "I might be afraid of anyone." But there will be absolutely no fear of the Italian army. What's wrong with you? When were the Germans afraid of the Italians and the French? ”
Wang Weiyi laughed: "Very good, General Opperman. I apologize for my words. Yes, we have never been afraid of the Italians and the French, they are vulnerable. The Italian army has suffered a huge blow in front of you, and now, the French are coming again. ”
"French? What are they doing here? Oppleman frowned.
"They are trying to deal us the last fatal blow......" Wang Weiyi was still smiling: "I have brought some reinforcements to cooperate with you to deal a heavy blow to the French army." Now, I order, that all the units of the Nationalist Army withdraw drastically, and that the French be brought in! ”
"Yes, Marshal!" Opplemann understood at once what Field Marshal Ernst meant.
Field Marshal Ernst was ready for a small counterattack here in advance.
The skeleton commandos and the Nordland combat regiment had already prepared at the preset location, and when the order of Field Marshal Ernst was issued, the 2nd and 6th brigades of the German National Army also voluntarily abandoned their positions and retreated sharply.
If General Catavaso had known that the Germans had abandoned their positions on their own initiative, he might have regretted his death, and this was the best opportunity for him to show off his exploits......
......
The Americans were encouraged by the Italians, and the French were likewise kept in the dark by the Italians. Let. General Doss and his 33rd French Infantry Division had no idea that they were entering a huge trap woven by the lies of their own people.
But who are they to blame? If you choose the Italians as your allies, you should be mentally prepared for this.
When they arrived at the designated battlefield, they found no Italian soldiers, which made General Doss a little strange, but it was true that no Germans were found on the opposite position.
Didn't the Italians wait for reinforcements to arrive and pursue them in advance?
"General, General Catavaso's phone has been connected."
"Ah, what a shame. General Katavaso? I'm Jean. Doss, I've arrived at the designated battlefield, where are your troops? ”
"Ah, after seizing the German positions, we were counterattacked by a large number of German troops, and we heroically repelled the enemy's attacks again and again, but there were too many enemies, and we were moving towards Pusweiten."
"Really? But I didn't find any Germans on the opposite side. ”
"Huh? Ah, yes. "General Katawasso is confused, where have the Germans gone? I knew that if I was like this, what would I do to move to Pusweiten? "Of course, as I said earlier, our soldiers are very valiant, the Germans have suffered heavy losses, they are in disarray under our blows, a large group of Germans are fleeing to Pwhiden, and I am chasing after them and preparing to kick them in the ass. ”
"Congratulations, General Catavaso, do you need our help?"
"No need, General Doss, please follow the orders of Mr. Commander, break through to the depths of the Germans, and soon Berlin will fall into our hands, good luck, General."
"Good luck too." Let. General Doss put down the phone.
When did the Italians become so capable of fighting? Even the Germans are no match for them? It's a rare thing. Could it be that with the death of Mussolini the Elder, the Italian soldiers suddenly became braver?
"Order, show your bravery to all the French soldiers, go and crush all the Germans!" (To be continued......)
