Donatello felt that he had never been so unlucky in his life. He just ran to join the black shirt army because he avoided debt. As a result, he became the backbone of the black shirt army.
Originally, he was a little proud in those days, because after all, even in the black shirt army, he was a small leader. But this complacency didn't last long. Mussolini, the damned leader, went to war with almost all the countries around him.
In France, Donatello took part in the battle of attacking the Italian French border. As a result, the Italian army, which seemed to be in great numbers, was so confused that it was defeated by the inferior French border forces. The ammunition and ordnance were lost all the way, and everyone wanted to have two more legs to escape backward, so that they could save their lives.
The war did not stop because of Donatello's cowardice. On the contrary, the great war of axis expansion, or the war of the creation of the new world order, has become more and more cruel, and its scale has become more and more huge. And he, the "senior commander" of the black shirt army who escaped from the French battlefield and returned to Italy, changed into a senior officer and was assigned to the regular army of Italy as the backbone.
So he swaggered into a battalion commander, an officer commanding 490 soldiers. Then he led the army to attack the Balkans, and finally, with the help of the Germans, he completed the task of occupying part of the Balkans.
The next thing is a little puzzling. Battalion commander donatero and other officers came to the two young instructors under the German defense forces, and then began to learn various combat methods, how to arrange firepower, and how to allocate troops to form a tight defensive and offensive formation.
After this special training, Donatello knew what a huge gap existed between Italy and Germany. At least he found that his army had a little bit of the appearance of an army. It was not until then that he could see what a real army should look like.
Later, his troops were transferred to the Balkans to take part in the joint encirclement and suppression of the guerrillas by Germany, Turkey and Italy. This time, his troops did not escape, and skillfully used the tactics they learned to block a guerrilla group trying to break through. Donatero's infantry battalion was not defeated by more than 1200 guerrillas, but also counterattacked and eliminated a total of 144 ferocious Balkan guerrillas.
You know, this is really a great achievement. In the face of twice as many enemies as yourself, the Italian army has only one option, that is, to withdraw quickly; In the case of no way to retreat, they have only one option, that is to raise their hands to surrender, so they can open fire and kill their enemies, which is very difficult for the Italian army.
Now, there are many Italian troops trained by German instructors in donatero's battalion, which are no longer under the Italian command system. They have been drawn out and assigned as allies to the command of the southern German theater command. And now they have a new name, the Italian expeditionary force.
In fact, the Italian troops fighting on the eastern front did not go through any hard fighting. Most of the Italian troops were arranged to guard some unimportant transportation lines and warehouses in the rear. Only some very elite and experienced ace troops were placed in unimportant areas of the front line.
Belgorod, to the south of Kursk, was unfortunately the "unimportant area" that the Soviet and German troops had not paid much attention to. Unfortunately, however, two of the most powerful armored groups in human history collided near here. This unimportant place suddenly became the most terrible steel tomb in the world.
Crouched in the trench, donatero held his rifle and enjoyed the most magnificent Requiem of town. At least two Soviet tanks kept firing within 50 meters around him. His whole battalion is now on the verge of collapse, and he, as the battalion commander, already knows very well that he has no chance to escape this time.
"Battalion commander! Commander Donatello, the machine gun position on the left side has been killed by the Soviet tank. The troops of company 1 are trying to retreat backward, but we lack cover. " A sergeant, holding a helmet in his hand, made sure that the only protection on his head would not fall because of running, squinted and reported to donattroeway: "the communication over there of company 3 has been interrupted. We are in a very bad situation now!"
Donatello used his spare light to look at the other side of the trench. Several Italian infantry with rifles were unable to lift their heads when they were shot by the other side's tank course machine gun. He turned to his men and said, "I know! I know what you said, and I don't know what to do now. You know our battalion, we can only build positions in this way. "
The level of German instructors is limited, and the level of these Italian apprentices is even worse. So the final solution is that the Germans mechanically use the most old-fashioned method to regulate the playing method. The Italians simply develop the habit, and everything is well. A certain combat ability army is so "fast". As for the effect, it's self-evident to look at today's embarrassing situation.
"The Soviets did not take the central breakthrough to cut into our defense line, so the anti tank guns could not form cross fire. Single fire, soon they will be killed The sergeant pointed to the Soviet tank which was attacking the Italian position in the distance. He retracted his head and said to his battalion commander, "the enemy has more than three tanks. We can't deal with them."
"If we retreat in this situation, we will lose two-thirds of our troops." Donatero just mechanically remembered the conclusion of the drill given by the German instructor. He remembered that he ran away again, his people were brutally chased and killed, until he was killed, and his opponent did not lose a person. The deep impression of the exercise was another reason to prevent him from throwing away his armor“ Battalion commander!... " The sergeant seemed to be trying to persuade him, but a stray bullet hit his helmet. Blood gushed out of the helmet and flowed down the eaves of the Italian helmet. Together with the owner of the blood, he lay down in the trench“ Ah Seeing his men overturned by one shot, Donatello was so scared that he even lost his gun at his feet. He knew that the Soviet tank in the position was slowly approaching, while the soldiers of the second company in front of him were collapsing at the speed visible to the naked eye. He grabbed an Italian infantry passing by him and gave his operational order: "order the anti tank guns on both wings to fire. We need the support of anti tank fire." The Italian soldier looked back at his battalion commander, then ran away without looking back in the opposite direction of continuing to attack the Soviet Red Army. Donatello gave a wry smile, because it was his familiar figure. More than a year ago, he also ran away from the French position like that. Something different happened. The Italian soldier who ran out was soon screened by the machine gun on the Soviet tank. The tracer bullet penetrated his body like a laser, and then he was piled on the ground like a pool of mud“ Let the anti tank guns fire! Fire Donatello staggered, and then in the trench hysteria cried out: "whoever it is, thank God, let those two cannons fire!"“ Boom I don't know whether his prayer was fulfilled or someone heard his order. In short, the first anti tank gun opened fire. The shell hit the armor of a Soviet KV-1 tank and penetrated its side armor. A rampant Soviet tank was no longer active, but paralyzed in the battlefield, emitting a stream of smoke. Two living Soviet soldiers jumped out of the tank and were screened by angry Italian soldiers without two steps. After all, the tank killed at least dozens of Italian soldiers just now, which also inspired the Italians' desire to revenge from another angle. Another anti tank gun also fired, but for some reason, the shell failed to hit the most dangerous T-34 tank. Later, the two anti tank guns were destroyed by the number of Soviet tanks, and now the Italians have fewer anti tank weapons“ Hey, I said! We just ran away again? " Donatello watched as another footman passed him in confusion and ran to the place where the body of a deserter was lying down, shouting, "don't you have any sense of Italian shame?" Watching his men die one by one in front of him, Donatello suddenly has no idea of running away. He remembered his happy mood when he was in the Balkans and commanding the troops to hold their positions. He was not willing to easily taste the shame of failure after experiencing victory“ Go back and fight! Let these Soviets see the strength of our Italian Roman Legion Donatello grabbed the arm of a soldier who had lost his armor and cried out with all his strength: "we can win! We are the brave Italian expeditionary force“ I'm sorry, lieutenant. I have to get out of here. There are too many Soviets The soldier broke away from Donatello's pull, and then stumbled to the road to "live". It seems to be very bright, it seems to represent hope. Donatello hesitated for a moment, then took a step in that direction, and then he suddenly felt that doing so made him lose his last bit of honor, so he stopped and stood up a little“ Bang Don't know where the gunshot came from, Donatello felt his head was hit by a hammer, and then the boundless darkness enveloped all the surrounding scenery. A few minutes later, the front-line defense forces of the last Italian battalion were completely destroyed. With their own practical actions, they proved that Italy is not all cowards - Long Ling congratulates all readers on happy New Year's Day!
