Chapter 850 Iron Army

Donatello's eyes slowly brightened, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep. In short, when he slowly opened his eyes, he only saw a tall German officer in front of him. The sun was a little dazzling, he couldn't see the rank clearly, but the face of the other party looked so familiar.

There were a few people next to him who helped Donatello up. After Donatello sat up, the tall officer said, "What's your name, corporal?"

"Donatello, who belongs to the Italian 27th Division, participated in the death squad," Donatello said.

At this time, there were more and more people around, and his brain became more and more clear. Finally, when he saw the Italian officer behind the German officer, he suddenly became completely awake.

The one at the back, isn't that the supreme commander of Italy in North Africa, Marshal Graziani?

So, is the German officer in front of him Rommel?

Thinking of this, he was a shock.

"Corporal, how was the result of yesterday's battle?" the German officer asked kindly.

"Yesterday, I used a submachine gun to kill more than a dozen enemies. I can't count the specifics, because I really didn't remember it at the end. Well, I ran out of bullets later. The last one was killed by me."

The blood on Donatello's mouth was already dry, but the posture just now, the death of the Indian soldier beside him, certainly couldn't be faked.

Donatello said it very plainly, as if he usually eats a plate of spaghetti, but the people around him felt a kind of shock.

When the bullets are gone, use your teeth to bite the opponent to death. Such soldiers are absolutely invincible! This is definitely the glory of Italian soldiers!

"Corporal Donatello, now I promote you to major." Graziani said: "You are the honor of our Italian soldiers, I hope you will make a careful report on tonight's experience, and I will report it to Mussolini leader see."

Of course, Graziani knew that this soldier would be set as an example for the entire army, for all Italian soldiers to learn from, so that the Italian army would become the same steel army as the German army!

He was promoted several times in a row, and he became a major all of a sudden. This is definitely something that has not appeared in the Italian army for many years. This is also an incentive. As long as you are brave enough on the battlefield, you can get an exceptional promotion!

"Yes!" Donatello stood up and saluted Marshal Graziani.

"Young man, your bravery last night is enough to reward you with a second-level Iron Cross. Now, on behalf of the African Army Command, I promise to reward you with one." Rommel also said.

Iron Cross! For the German soldiers, this is a very high honor, and the Italian soldiers have never received it. Now, Rommel said that he will reward him, which makes him extremely excited. This is the highest honor!

"Thank you Commander," Donatello said, saluting Rommel again.

Rommel returned the salute. At this time, the Italian soldiers who came around were already crowded.

Rommel stepped on a bunker with his boots. He looked at the Italian soldiers below and said loudly: "Everyone may know that in the past, you actually had a nickname called the Noodle Army!"

The noodle army, not only the United Kingdom, France is calling, and even Germany is complaining about its friendly forces in private. Rommel is now saying it, which is even more ironic.

"It is said that you are like noodles. When you fight, you are in a mess. However, the battle last night has proved by facts that you are not an army of noodles, but an army of steel!"

Rommel's words made the eyes of all Italian soldiers burn with fighting spirit.

"In the face of the enemy, even if it is stronger than ourselves, as long as we have the will to fight, we can defeat them, just like this corporal Donatello, who has no bullets and still uses his teeth to bite the enemy's throat If we have tens of thousands of Donatellos, I can say that our Italian army, like our German soldiers, can fight all over Europe and even the whole world!"

"Our flag is dyed with our blood. Our soul will never be destroyed. We are an army of steel! Today, we conquered the Mitria Mountains, and tomorrow, we will be able to rush to Alexandria. , the day after tomorrow, we will occupy the Suez Canal!"

"Our journey is the whole of North Africa and the Middle East, our German army, and the Italian army, will fight side by side, I believe that every Italian soldier will, like Donatello, write loyalty to the country with blood and life Long live the great Axis Alliance!"

"Long live!" A high-pitched shout broke out from the entire position. This voice drifted over the Mitria Mountains, over Alexandria, throughout the Middle East, and around the world.

After last night's battle, Rommel's most powerful North African and Middle East army finally roared like a lion. This most terrifying army will conquer the Middle East and the world!

For the German and Italian armies, it was a moment of victory, and for the British army on the opposite side, the result was unacceptable.

"Our Indian division was really defeated by the Italian army?" Facing the rising sun and looking at the sand table, Montgomery could not accept this fact anyway.

His own army was actually defeated by the Italian army, and the Italian army actually took the initiative to attack!

I was too negligent last night, but if I give myself a chance to choose again, I will still do it. In the north, there are powerful German armored units, and I must focus on the north, and the southern defense line is still not strong. questionable.

Who knows, the noodle army suddenly turned into an army of steel, which abruptly defeated the Indian division and took over the Mithria mountains in the south.

In this way, there will be a gap in the front line of our own, and the German and Italian troops will continue to pour out from the south and rush to the rear of our own troops who are still fighting on the front line. Under their encirclement, their own troops will , there is a danger of total annihilation.

This battle, I am afraid to lose!

"We cannot retreat now. If we retreat, the German army will catch up, and our troops may be defeated in the retreat." Montgomery was quite aware of the experience of previous retreats from France.

His army, most of which were infantry divisions, could not run away from the German tanks at all. Once the fortifications of El Alamein were lost, the retreat could easily turn into a rout. The Germans could even catch up to the front of their retreating troops and set them calmly. enclosing circle.

"We have to stand, with our blood and our lives, to hold our ground until reinforcements arrive," Montgomery continued.

No matter how much sacrifices are made, we must persevere. When a large number of weapons and equipment from the United States are continuously transported, and when we have enough strength to confront the German armored forces, we can turn to the counter-offensive.

Hope you can stick to that moment!
