Chapter 1039

The German troops hardly met any decent resistance in their operations in Italy. When some German reconnaissance teams entered Rome, the Italian troops who swore allegiance to Mussolini basically collapsed. Most of the Italian troops chose to sit on the sidelines, ignoring the fact that Mussolini's few legitimate troops were annihilated by the German army, so as to ensure that their homes would not be engulfed by the war.

"Where is the first army of the Roman city defense group? Can we get this unit to fight back to the north and buy us some time? " Mussolini stood in front of the map of Rome city defense and asked the generals who were guarding him. All his staff had fled, with only a few diehard loyalists of the rank of Colonel still around him at this time.

"Leader, the troops of the first army have been surrounded by the leading German troops in monterotondo. They are trying to break through, but... The enemy's firepower is too strong." An army colonel dejectedly reported the situation. Mussolini's most loyal troops were surrounded by German troops on the front line.

Of course, the city of Rome is now full of loopholes, and even some blocks have been occupied by Pro German forces, so Mussolini's Pro guards can't get in at all. German armored vehicles outside the city have begun to frequent, some German special forces have been mixed into the city.

In such a chaotic situation, coupled with the fact that Rome's defense system has not been established at all, it is doomed that a protracted urban street battle will not break out in Rome.

"Mr. leader! You'd better take your loyal subordinates and retreat to the South... Although that bastard in Garibaldi in the South controls a lot of cities and transportation hubs, after all, he doesn't have enough time to prepare, so he will still leave us some opportunities... "An air force major anxiously looks at Mussolini, who is the leader's loyal, I've been giving advice to Mussolini.

His 20 planes stationed near Rome, as well as his trusted pilots, were all reimbursed by the German fighter forces within a few hours, and he didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief. Just two days ago, he was in his headquarters, planning a bombing operation against Romanian oil fields.

Another Mussolini's confidant, the captain of the Navy, nodded and said, "Mr. leader! You know, I'm fstyle_ txt; Our navy is still loyal to your command. As long as we escape to the corresponding port, we can organize our soldiers again and delay the advance of the German army... "

"Yes! When we get to the ports in the south, at least we can get tens of thousands of American troops to supplement us. At that time, it will not be easy for the German army to eat us in a short time... As long as we stick to it... "Continued the first army colonel.

Everyone knows that Rome can't hold on. At least the city is not ready for war. Once the German army came to the city, it would be occupied by the German army in a few days. Moreover, Mussolini did not intend to take Rome as a battlefield. After all, he launched a war to destroy his country's capital. Even if he won the war in the end, this responsibility was enough to become a stain on him as an Italian leader.

Of course, to be a stain or second... The key is that there are not many real forces to use... There are about 150000 Roman city defense forces. If they are mobilized and expanded immediately, they may reach 200000. However, they lack heavy weapons and fighting spirit. How can they stop the German elite attack?

And even if these 150000 people, Mussolini knows, at least 100000 of them are still in the state that the Germans will lay down their arms and surrender as soon as they come. Of the remaining 50000, it is estimated that 20000 will turn over and give up their defense line to let the German army into Rome.

"Report! Report A soldier rushed into the office in a hurry. He was very nervous and panting. Then he pointed to the sky. Finally, he adjusted his breath and said what he wanted to say: "outside... Outside the sky... In the sky, many, many... Many German planes!"

Mussolini was stunned. Then he leaned over to his window. As expected, he saw more than a dozen German planes throwing leaflets and other paper items to the whole Roman city. He didn't have to take a look to guess that it should be persuading Roman civilians not to resist.

"Damn it! What about the air defense alert? What are these air defense forces? Fire! Why don't you fire? " The air force major yelled angrily. Then he grabbed the phone beside him and yelled into the microphone: "this is the Roman city defense command. Get me the air defense command! Hurry up

Then the whole room was strangely silent for a few seconds, and then continued to be silent for a few seconds. When Mussolini looked back strangely and looked at his confidant, the air force major, the other side just fell the phone receiver on the table in anger: "asshole! I can't even answer the phone here! "

It is just this situation that the so-called general trend has gone. At present, Mussolini has been defeated like a mountain. Even the specific measures to deal with this situation have been unable to show. They can only imagine what happened outside here, because a lot of information can not be delivered to them in time.

"Mr. leader! I still suggest that you take your loyal subordinates and retreat to the south! As long as we get to the port in the south, then we still have the chance of the last war. If we stay here now, everything will be finished! " In the end, the air force major broke the silence. He knew that the only chance now was to join the landing forces of the United States to have a chance of survival. The captain, who used to have a lot of tact, now turned into a yes man. He quickly nodded his head and said, "Mr. leader! You know, our navy is still loyal to your command. As long as we escape to the corresponding port, we can join the fleet... At least, we can set up temporary headquarters on the warships. " Over and over again, we now know that our Italian troops can not be counted on at all. Now the only one who can really save the defeat is the US troops who are expected to land in southern Italy and start fighting against Germany“ Ding Ling, Ding Ling. " The nice phone rings. It's just the Navy's contact number. The captain was overjoyed and rushed to grab the phone. Now they really need good news, and the Navy's action is the only news they can look forward to“ I am... What? Let's be clear... What is a naval announcement? They didn't bombard Fort gibraltarian? What about the Americans? What do you mean you don't see an American? " When I answered the phone, the happy expression was still on my face, but what I said was already the content of despair. The Colonel faltered and nearly dropped his phone“ Needless to say, I guess it's because the U.S. fleet didn't show up in gibraltarian? " Mussolini asked with a wry smile. He has already guessed that the Americans will change their plans in this situation. If it is him, he will also choose to give up Italy at this time. If you don't succeed yourself, don't blame others for not saving you“ The fleet, the fleet also defected... "The captain of the Navy seemed to have been taken away from his soul. Regardless of the image, he found a chair and sat on it, crying and laughing:" the fleet didn't carry out its mission? The fleet is back? Why didn't they get a single telegram back? Why? Why What he didn't understand was that the main reason why the Italian Navy relied on Mussolini was to preserve its strength and avoid war passively. Now let them attack the fortress of gibraltarian, which is impossible to take advantage of, to cover the Allied warships passing through the Strait in a way close to suicide. It is strange that these Italian warships will carry out their orders“ Don't go! I'm not going anywhere. Just wait here! I'll see what the Germans can do to me! " Mussolini laughed, so helpless and desolate. It's not that he is full of courage and spirit at this time. The main reason why he is so single is that he knows that he is really doomed this time. In Rome, he still has a little influence. Once he left the city, he would have to be tied up and sent to the Germans to ask for credit. Thinking of this, he felt that he should stay in Rome, at least he should be responsible for what he did“ Let the soldiers who are loyal to us blockade the surrounding blocks, deploy the defense line, and prepare for the German attack Mussolini took a look at the side of the army colonel, issued the battle order to hold the position: "including my personal guard, hold all the rooms and corridors that can be held, do not let anyone near this room."“ Leader, if we run away from here and hide in a small town or village... "The major of the air force looked at the captain who was still sitting on the chair giggling and put forward his own suggestions to Mussolini. He's young, and he doesn't want to die in a place like this. Unfortunately, Mussolini refused his suggestion: "I'm sorry, I don't want to hide. I want to talk to akado face to face again. I want to ask this great German leader face to face. Does he want to kill all those who don't agree with him?"—— I came back late today, so the update was a little bit late.
