#1066 Flash Flood (Plus 2)

The flood came to the road, and the 20-ton P26 tank, driven by the flood, swayed twice, followed, and was pushed away!

Even the P26 tanks were not spared, not to mention other vehicles, medium tanks and trucks, all swayed and swayed under the raging flood, and then floated and washed away...

The Italian soldiers who were drenched in soup, looked at their vehicles and disappeared like this, and all of them were dumbfounded. What should I do? How to do?

The torrential rain came and went quickly. After half an hour, the rain stopped. On the road below, there was a thirty centimeter-thick silt!

Looking at these silts, Visconti couldn't help but want to scold her mother.

How to do?

"General, a bridge ahead was washed away by the flood!"

"General, our car has been found, but it can't start anymore!"

"General, we have lost most of our ammunition!"

One bad news, Visconti knew that the best plan for him now was to withdraw his troops and go back to regroup. However, he also knew that as long as he went back, his career would be over.

What day is today? It is the anniversary of the victory of the revolution. On this day, there is only good news and no bad news! He also reported to Mussolini just now that his army was advancing towards the heart of the Greeks, and now it was repelled by a torrential rain, without even seeing the Greeks?

If the news came back, the furious Mussolini would definitely dismiss him immediately.

Can't withdraw!

"Find a few guides, let's hike, climb the mountain, it's time to show the tenacity of our Italian army!" Visconti said: "Anyone who dares to retreat secretly will be dealt with by military law! Shoot on the spot! "

After the war, German military observers once made an evaluation of the Italian army's operation, not looking at the weather forecast is just one of the small reasons. The climate in the mountains is complicated, and the weather forecast in this era is still Very primitive, it is impossible to predict all the situations, the main reason for the failure of the Italian army is that the people who made the battle plan are full of shit, didn't they see that those bridges were not washed away by the flood at all , but was destroyed in advance?

It's just that the impact of the flood covered up the traces of man-made damage. The current Italian army, unexpectedly, walked step by step to the well-designed traps of the other side.

Strategically despise the opponent, tactically attach importance to the opponent, although the opponent's defenders are not many, but they occupy the right time and place!

Time, four days have passed.

If it was by car, they could get out of this damn mountain in one day, but on foot it was different.

This is definitely not based on the straight-line distance on the map. It is obvious that the two hills are less than 20 kilometers away, but when they walk there, they have to go around a hundred miles. Under the impact of the torrent, many roads were destroyed, and they had to Take more detours.

How far have they advanced in these four days? Only 30 kilometers away from the border line!

Italian soldiers have never traveled so far. Their feet in military boots have worn blood blisters, their shoulders with weapons are red and swollen, and they are exhausted.

The driving force behind them is military law. Anyone who dares to fall behind will be shot, so they have to move forward slowly.

Ahead, is the Kalamas River! After crossing this river, it is a flat river. The tired Visconti stood on a hillside and looked forward with his telescope.

In the past two days, he has followed the troops and climbed the hills one by one. The military uniform on his body has long been invisible. It is all mud. He is still holding on. He believes that after this battle, he will Will be known in Italy for his perseverance and determination.

"Our coastal combat brigade on the right flank has been greatly troubled, and Greek guerrillas are constantly harassing them along the way." The adjutant said: "Now, only our mountain division is progressing smoothly."

Of all the armies, only the 3rd Alpine Division was successful, because they were a professional mountain unit, they had nothing to fall back on, only two feet, and even rock climbing or something, they were the real ones Elite troops in Italy.

"We must win this battle." Visconti said, continuing to look into the distance.

During the initial advance, the 131st Panzer Division was in the front line, but after turning into infantry in the mountains, the Panzer Division fell behind, and now the 23rd Infantry Division is in the forefront, and they lined up listlessly The long snake formation is advancing.

It is getting closer and closer to the Kalamas River.

At this time, on the river bank, the Greek troops who were waiting for work were also looking at them.

Major General Casimitros stood in a bunker behind a grassy bank by the river, looking at the group of Italian soldiers across from his binoculars, his face full of smiles.

It is true that his troops are not many, there are no heavy weapons, and there is no weapon that can effectively restrain the tanks. However, even God is on his side and has given them a chilling rain. Now, his side is waiting for it. Just kill them!

"Order the troops, fire, and kill the Italians!" he ordered calmly.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Several small-caliber howitzers fired first, accurately bombarding the Italian troops.

In an instant, the Italian army panicked, and there was an ambush ahead!

Just as they panicked, on the hillsides on both sides, countless Greeks, holding their rifles with bayonets, rushed up!

They boldly interspersed and entered the Italian army, dividing an Italian infantry division of a long snake array into pieces, and then eating them!

"Quick, call for air support, quick!" Visconti shouted loudly, when he saw the sudden appearance of the Greeks, he already had an ominous foreboding that his tired infantry division could not have too many Combat effectiveness, he must rely on air support to be able to block the Greek attack.

The entire battlefield was chaotic.

 …

While the Italians were still fighting hard in Greece, in Germany, two specialized Junkers-390 passenger planes, under the escort of more than a dozen fighter jets, flew eastward. Cyric's trip to the Soviet Union took place slowly. The curtain opened.

In the case of many confrontations between the two countries, the German head of state personally went to Moscow to participate in the Moscow military parade, which is of great significance. Cyric's visit will further enhance the friendship between the two countries!
