Chapter 1263 Germans Are Different

In the first round, the defenders lost.

It can be said that the Soviets are still very witty. Originally Major General Aresca was ready to eat all the Soviet tank troops that suddenly rushed out. As a result, the opponent actually retreated at a critical time!

This shrinking made our side wasted this good opportunity. If the two sides just got on the anus, they would definitely lose. After all, their tanks could not withstand the blow of the 76mm tank gun. However, the Soviets will be even worse, they will completely annihilated.

Under the eyes of those defenders, destroying their tank troops, this scene, think of it is very conquest, but unfortunately, there is no such opportunity now.

The other side retracted.

At the same time, Major General Aresca did not continue to let the tanks advance, and the tank troops stopped outside the opponent's fire range.

"General, let's rush in!" The voice of the tank commander in front came from the radio: "We can definitely break through the line of defense."

"No, the other party is already prepared, we have to wait for our infantry to arrive." Major General Aresca is very cautious.

Their tank troops came all the way, leaving their infantry dozens of kilometers behind.

The current German army has been completely motorized. Even infantry divisions are equipped with a large number of cars. They don't have to rush on the land of the Soviet Union on two legs. They can transfer by car.

The Italian army was different.

Italy's industrial level is still not as good as Germany's, but Italy's auto industry is not bad. In the 1930s, Italian Fiat cars were almost always exported, even the French Army was full of praise for Fiat trucks.

Regardless of the ordinary infantry division, at least the current armored group is equipped with enough cars, which are the latest Fiat 262, and the traction is enough to pull the tank.

However, their fuel supply did not keep up. After all the fuel was concentrated on the tanks, the infantry had to wait for fuel to continue to follow up, which was a short distance.

Major General Aresca is quite shrewd. When he was studying in Berlin, he understood this truth. On the field, the charge of the tank group is the most effective. However, if it is to attack the city and leave the infantry protection of the tanks, it is Incomparably fragile.

And now, even if his tanks can get into the city, he can't hinder the opponent's breakthrough, because he lacks enough infantry.

In this way, the Italian army did not continue to advance and stayed outside the city, and the two sides confronted temporarily.

At this time, the commanders of both sides finally figured out the details of each other.

"Is the Italian army here?" Next to the railway station in the city, Lukin temporarily set up his own headquarters: "Isn't the combat effectiveness of the Italian army always weak? How did it become so strong this time?"

The first confrontation between the two sides ended in a hurry. Knowing that their tank troops had not fired a shot, they were forced back. Lukin knew that he had encountered a difficult opponent.

"Yes, since the Germans took control of Italy, the combat effectiveness of the Italian army has increased." His adjutant said: "Fortunately, we have found a lot of 45mm guns in the arsenal here to deal with these Italian tanks. ,should be no problem."

In World War II, German anti-tank guns were famous, such as PAK38, PAK40, etc. In contrast, the Soviet Union was not very famous.

The Soviet Union actually had anti-tank guns, and the 45mm gun ran through the entire Second World War. This gun looks very small, almost like a toy, and its penetration depth is just to deal with the thin-skinned and big stuffing. Black Panther 2 only.

The 45mm gun is an all-rounder. It is not only used in infantry positions, but also shines in street fighting. It can remove fire points and even fire on the roof to penetrate the tank's top armor.

With these guns, their confidence in defense is greatly increased, especially against the Italian army.

"Continue to dig fortifications and push the newly established troops to the front line." Lu Jin thought for a while, and continued: "Arrange the supervising team at the back, whoever dares to retreat will open fire!"

Lu Jin was not at ease with those rout soldiers. If these rout soldiers lost their minds during the battle, it would bring great problems to his own defense. Now is a special period, and special means must be used.

Anyway, what Lukin did here has been enough to shoot him several times. Now he is not afraid of anything. In order to protect Shepetovka, he dares to do anything.

Now, the opponent did not attack immediately, which is also good news for Lu Jin. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he can reorganize the troops in a decent manner.

At the same time, the Italian army outside was not idle either.

It's time to eat, and soon, the smell of noodles wafted from their positions.

When it was dark, the Fiat cars drove over, and the infantry finally arrived!

In the woods just outside the city, a tent was temporarily set up. Major General Aresca was holding a stainless steel rice bowl in his left hand and a fork in his right.

"General, we have finally arrived, when will the attack be launched?" Colonel Driessy asked.

"Don't worry, let our soldiers eat first, rest, come, and each of you will have a portion of noodles." Major General Aresca said, and asked the adjutant to prepare tableware for them.

Although he is a high-ranking commander, he does not engage in extravagance during the war, not even red wine, only noodles.

Several people looked at each other, each ate a pot, and when they were finished, they wiped their mouths, and Major General Aresca finally spoke: "Before, we were always called the Noodle Army, saying that we had the worst combat effectiveness. Tonight, let them see, we The strong combat power of the Italian army, we attacked at night and directly hit the city!"

"However, they have tanks and anti-tank guns around them," Colonel Driessy said. "They will definitely guard against us."

Looking at the dazed expressions of his subordinates, Major General Aresca had a smile on his face: "I didn't say to break through the current defense line. Let's go around the east of the city and enter the city from the east, what do you think? how?"

Now, the two sides are facing each other in the northwest of the city, and the defense lines of the defenders are only deployed to the northwest and west areas.

And now, their eastern part is almost undefended, they circled around and rushed in from the east, catching them by surprise!

All the commanders present had smiles on their faces. After returning from training in Germany, Major General Aresca's commanding level has greatly improved.
