1030th Italian Defection

What finally made Mussolini make up his mind to get rid of the coercion of the Germans was a report submitted by General Diego on the morning of the fifth day on the plan to delay the departure from the Axis powers. He said that a large number of munitions and materials were not ready to be put in place, and the possible outbreak of the war against Germany would result in failure. ﹎>﹏＞Right ``·`=```-`=

But this poor General Diego was dismissed by Mussolini because of this report, and he didn't even give him a chance to explain. Surprisingly, General Diego did not intend to explain all this, but happily handed over his office, and left Rome with a large sum of money, whereabouts are unknown.

After clearing the "obstacles laid by the German," Mussolini felt compelled to act. Because he already thinks that he has dealt with the internal response of the Germans, the relative Germans will immediately be vigilant and act, and there is really not much time left for him.

In this world, many things will happen at one time, maybe while killing someone in one corner, a new life will be born in this world in another corner.

At almost the same time as the founding of the Jewish state, Mussolini was also preparing a speech to the whole country about withdrawing from the Axis powers. He has made up his mind, and the US support fleet has already left the harbor. This is his last chance, and the bet is that the Germans are not ready for a full-scale war.

But are the Germans really not ready for war? At a checkpoint on the border, in front of the Italian defenders who were ordered to block the border, a German police officer smiled and handed over his ID to the other party. His expression was natural and kind, as if there was some happy event generally.

"Sorry, Captain, we have received an order to prohibit any German armed forces from entering Italy... Although this order feels strange, but I have indeed received this order.﹎8﹎＞ =`·" The Italian officer looked in front of him The German police officer, opened his mouth to persuade.

He had to deal with the Germans in front of him in a low voice, because aside from the long-standing strength of the German army, the Panther assault gun parked behind the German captain was absolutely worthy of his awe. three points. That thing is not easy to mess with. I heard that one shot can take down an entire bunker.

"Unfortunately, the order I received is to disarm you and cross the border here to occupy a few towns behind you." The German captain took back his certificate, and then pointed to the park behind him. The Leopard assault gun on the side of the road, as well as an armored vehicle and two trucks, continued to say in a calm tone: "If you refuse, then I will go back and we will meet in another way."

The Italian officer coughed, and then smiled awkwardly: "Look at what you said, I always thought that the orders we received were inaccurate. We have always been solid allies, haven't we? Since you want to take over here, as long as Without harming our personal safety, I will honestly wait in the barracks for new orders to be issued.

"

"Very good! After you hand over your weapons, please take the soldiers on the truck back to your barracks and take over the defense there. I have to go to the next town. I heard that you have strengthened the defense of a regiment there." Army." The German captain turned his head while talking, and walked towards the Panther assault gun that was already in motion.

The Italian officer very cooperatively pulled out the weapon from his waist and threw it to the side of the post where the German guards were already standing. The other Italian soldiers also followed his example and piled up the rifles in their hands. at the feet of a German soldier.

The trucks moved, and the German troops crossed the border defenses and moved into the heart of Italy. The roadside was full of joking Italian defenders, as if those proud German soldiers had stepped on land that was not the land they were ordered to guard. ＞8＿>＞-The Germans drove straight in, as if they were driving on their own land. In most cases, they didn't even encounter any resistance.

"I said, these Italians didn't let us pass on purpose, and then planned to encircle and annihilate us?" A German recruit sitting on a truck holding his Mauser rifle looked at the side of the road with a guilty conscience. Those Italian defenders who were several times larger than them asked the old seniors around them.

The old platoon leader who has served in this infantry company since the establishment of Group J glanced at the recruit beside him, and sneered: "It's just this group of Italians, borrow them twice as many troops, as long as we get out of the car Dig a hole, and you can stay here until the support arrives."

The radio is still echoing Mussolini's announcement that Italy will withdraw from the Axis powers, and the troops of the German Army here have already crossed the Italian border area. Most of the troops have disarmed and stationed in the On the border, the Italian defenders have an absolute advantage in numbers.

One after another, the tanks that the Italians were afraid of, with the sound of rumbling engines, rushed down the fences of the residents from the country road, and the vigilant German soldiers got out of the rice fields with their weapons. Within minutes, teams of Italian soldiers were driven out of their foxholes and improvised bunkers.

"Why? My order is to stand firm. As long as the Germans dare to shoot, you must fight back! Hold your position! Please be clear! What do you mean the Germans took your gun away?" an Italian The division commander yelled angrily in his headquarters. He didn't hear the gunshots and gunfire of the frontline troops. As a result, the direct troops behind reported that they saw German armored troops flying over the road.

"Tu! Tut!" Before he finished his call, the machine gun in a machine gun bunker outside the bunker shot out dazzling flames. As a direct line of Mussolini's troops, at least within the scope of the main force, the order to resist was relatively thorough.

It's just that the target of this machine gun is an approaching German Panther tank. The bullet hit the armor plate of the tank, splashing sparks and knocking off a lot of paint, but it couldn't penetrate the thick steel. Soon the German tanks aimed their artillery at the machine gun bunker, and before the people inside escaped, they shot the bunker up into the sky.

"Master, get out of here quickly! The Germans have already broken through our defense line from both sides, and it will be too late if you don't leave." A staff officer begged his superior, because after all, he still wanted to leave a way for himself and his family to survive. . While begging his boss, he scolded Mussolini in his heart. The concentration camps of the Germans are not a joke. Isn't it mentally abnormal to announce their withdrawal from the Axis at such a time?

"Don't shoot! We surrender!" Before the division commander changed his mind, there was a sound of surrender outside the door. Obviously, German soldiers had rushed into the headquarters, and the dangerous fighting area was outside the door.

"Thuk! Thuk!" There was no answer, and there was the sound of mp-44 assault rifles firing. It seems that the German army did not intend to capture the rebels. They are all occupied.

"Get ready to break the door! Grenadiers! Prepare the grenade!" Outside the door, a German shouted. They don't care what kind of person is standing inside the door. For these German troops who were ordered to kill a resistance force, the person standing inside the door was Mussolini, and that was the best result.

Before the division commander and the staff officer could speak, the door was kicked open from the outside, and then a grenade rolled into the room, rattling all the way, and stopped on the floor under the division commander's feet.

"Boom!" Following an explosion, the German army rushed into the house, and found dust flying all over the sky, and two bloody corpses lying on the ground. A well-known German veteran walked up to the corpse, kicked the corpse with his leather boots, and then curled his lips: "It's a division commander, and the officer is not young."

Rome, in the Italian Border Defense Command, the phone is extremely busy, everyone is coping with the sudden situation, the border defense line that claims to be able to stop the German army for three to seven days, just let the German army waste a few minutes, and the whole line collapsed, as shown in the picture Generally, there is air leakage on all sides.

"Quick! Contact the leader quickly! Let me tell you that there is a problem in the border area! We, our defense line, were easily breached by the Germans!" An Italian officer was in a panic, and finally remembered one thing, that is, to put an end to the chaos in front of him. Reported the situation to the unaware leader, Mr. Mussolini.

"What are you kidding! It's less than a minute now, and the leader is still on the podium. Tell him at this time that our defense line has been breached? How do you tell him? Pull him out of the nationally broadcast broadcast microphone. Is it?" Another Mussolini confidant general asked loudly with his hands behind his back, somewhat annoyed.

Although he had heard that there were many corruptions in the construction of the border defense line, he never expected that it would be so corrupted. He has always believed that even if the border defense system cannot last for 7 days, he is still very sure of 3 days-but now it seems that his estimation is too optimistic, and his troops failed to withstand it for 3 hours. If you stop, you will be defeated and surrendered.

"Order the troops on the second line to start counterattacking immediately! The Germans have tanks, don't we have them too? Order those troops to hold the main towns on the second line as much as possible. I need them to buy a day so that we can strengthen the defense system near Rome. !” The Italian general thought for a while, and issued an order that he thought was the best response Italy could take to deal with the current situation.
