Italian Prime Minister Mussonili and General Bardorio, Chief of Staff, looked at Italian King Vittorio Emmanuele III! The war has just begun, and the heroic Italian army is resisting the invasion of the Chinese, but

Vittorio Emmanuele III, who died in the deceased king, was actually going to run away. This is a bit disappointing, right? Although it said that he was going to Germany to ask for assistance, isn't it actually just running for life? If it is spread

In other words, this will definitely be a heavy blow to the morale of Italy and the hearts of the people!

"Your Majesty! The war has just begun now. If Your Majesty stays in the country, it can stabilize the morale of the country! This is very helpful for us to resist the attack of the Chinese people!" Prime Minister Mussonilli persuaded!

"His Excellency Prime Minister! The Chinese are coming in full force. With Italy's current strength, it is difficult to withstand the Chinese attack! We must have external assistance! My trip to Berlin was not to escape at the last minute, but to ask Germany for help.

! Italy is an ally of Germany, and Germany should support us with all its strength!" said Vittorio Emmanuele III.

"Your Majesty, we can assign the ambassador to Germany to ask for help from Germany. If it really doesn't work, let the Foreign Minister go there! Now the sky in Italy has been controlled by the Chinese planes. Your Majesty leaves Rome and goes to Berlin.

What should I do if I am bombarded by the Chinese?" Mussolini said. I hope this way can make Vittorio Emmanuele III change his mind! However, he didn't know,

Vittorio Emmanuele III had already made up his mind!

Although Vittorio Emmanuele III was determined to defeat China and avenge his previous shame. However, he was also afraid that the last tragic encounter would happen again! The last time they escaped to the Vatican, China ended up being in China

People didn't even buy it. There was no safe place in Italy in the whole of Italy! Therefore, in the name of seeking help from Germany, he went to Germany to take refuge. It became the best way for Vittorio Emmanuele III to escape from Italy.

An excuse! Anyway, he, the king, has transferred power to the government and the army, and it is useless for him to stay in Italy. Going to a safe Berlin is the best result. In this way, even if Italy is occupied by China

But he would not have any security issues. Even after the Holy Alliance defeated China, he could return to Italy and continue to be his king!

"His Excellency Prime Minister! The Minister of Foreign Affairs went to Berlin, so how could I come forward in person? Needless to say, I have made up my mind! I will leave Italy to you in the future!" Vittorio Emmanuele III insisted

road!

Although Prime Minister Mussolini and Admiral Bardorio were speechless, there was no other way! They were in their hearts about Vittorio Emmanuele III, who left their country and their people and fled.

The behavior is very shameless.

The king is going to escape, but the war has to continue, unless Italy admits defeat now! However, Prime Minister Mussonilli, who has great ambitions, obviously does not want to admit defeat now! After he and General Bardorio left the palace,

I went to the Italian Army General Staff for a meeting and discussed how to deal with the current crisis!

In less than half an hour, General Bardorio ordered the troops around Naples to assemble to Naples in the name of the chief of staff of the Italian Army to block the Chinese. At the same time, an armored division was drawn from Rome, 10

The infantry division went south to support Naples. Finally, it ordered the army in northern Italy to go south and prepare to defend central Italy! Originally, northern Italy was also the focus of the Italian army's defense! However, after the Austro-Hungarian Empire was invaded by Germany, this left northern Italy no longer

Enemy! Originally, the Italian government wanted to take the opportunity to regain the territory occupied by the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the last World War, but China's landing operations completely disrupted their plans!

The Italian Army has two armored divisions, with a total of more than 400 tanks and armored vehicles! However, these tanks and armored vehicles are all equipment eliminated by the German Army, and then they were sold and given to the Italian Army half and half! These tanks and armored vehicles are mainly

The German Army called the T5 Cheetah tank, which was originally imported from China. The German Army called it the No. 2 tank, and the German Army imitated the T5 Cheetah tank, and the German Army sincerely mainly the No. 3 tank! There are also many light tanks.

!Although the performance of the tank is very backward, these two armored divisions have always been regarded as treasures by the Italian army! Now sending an armored division south to rescue Naples shows their determination! However, Naples is 200 kilometers away from Rome

Even if the transportation facilities in Italy are pretty good, reinforcements set out from Rome and to arrive in Naples, at least the next afternoon! Before that, can the Italian army defend Naples? The answer is no!

At seven o'clock in the morning, a regiment of the 8th Division of the Chinese Marine Corps had already arrived. They did not attack the main urban area of ​​Naples at the first time, but instead attacked the port area! The 33rd Special Mixed Fleet of the Chinese Navy

Several destroyers even saw the coast, risking stranding, and fired violently with small-caliber rapid-fire cannons on the warships to provide fire cover for the Marines attacking the port!

Giovanni Messe, commander of the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army, realized the danger! He wanted to send troops to retake the port, or completely destroy the port! But he found that he could no longer do it now!

During the battle, his 89th Infantry Division had suffered heavy casualties, and it was very difficult to defend the main urban area of ​​Naples, let alone regain the port!

Less than half an hour later, the Chinese Marine Corps seized the port in Naples! In the battle to seize the port, they did not use large-caliber artillery, so they caused almost no damage to the port. However, during the process of capturing the port,

The price paid is just a little higher! However, this is totally worth it! After the port is taken, the main forces of the Chinese Marine Corps and the Army can all go ashore at a faster speed! This is very important for landing operations

of!

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the main force of the 8th Division of the Chinese Marine Corps had already arrived ashore, and under the cover of the navy's warships and planes in the sky, it launched a fierce attack on the main urban area of ​​Naples! The absolute main force of the 20th Army Army,

The 20th Armored Brigade has also begun to land. With the help of the port, the 20th Armored Brigade's 'Leopard' tank weighing 40 tons can be easily landed! Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to get such heavy equipment to land.

It's all right!

As the Chinese Army's armored forces are getting bigger and bigger tanks, although their performance is becoming more and more advanced, the difficulty of logistics supply is also increasing! Therefore, the Chinese Army's armored forces have been reorganized! Originally, an armored brigade owned

More than 200 tanks, each tank battalion has as many as 72 tanks! Although this makes the armored brigade extremely powerful, it also brings a heavy burden to logistics supply! The current armored brigade has 5 under its jurisdiction.

Tank battalion, a self-propelled artillery battalion, a baggage battalion, and brigade guards, communications, reconnaissance and field hospitals, the entire brigade has more than 10,000 people! Each tank battalion includes 4 tank companies, each company three.

There are 9 tanks in total in each platoon! In this way, a tank battalion has 36 tanks, and the entire brigade has 180 tanks and 36 105mm caliber self-propelled artillery!

It is not easy to send all the personnel and equipment of the 20th Armored Brigade to the ashore. It was not easy until 9 a.m. when the 20th Armored Brigade came to the ashore! However, at this time, the battle in Naples was coming to an end! The 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army was

The 8th Marine Division suffered heavy losses under the attack! In street fighting, the Italian Army, which had weak combat power, was no match for the Chinese Marine Corps at all! The Q5'Yeon's attack aircraft hovered over the city. Once the Italian Army's firepower point was discovered,

Immediately drop bombs or strafing. The key parts of the Q5'Ye Owl' attack aircraft are equipped with new armor, which can withstand the design of large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns. As long as they are not directly hit by anti-aircraft guns, there is generally no danger of being shot down! In addition, the fierce

Artillery fire, the attack of the 8th Marine Division was very smooth!

At 9:16 am, Brigadier General Giovanni Messe, commander of the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army, ordered the remnants of the 89th Infantry Division to surrender to the Chinese! He had done his best. But the gap between the two sides was too big.

, especially after the 20th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army came ashore, the huge tanks drove into the city streets with the rumbling motor sound, which shocked the Italian Army very much! Brigadier Giovanni Messe saw Italy with his own eyes

An anti-tank of the Army opened fire on a Chinese tank two hundred meters away! However, the armor-piercing bomb only left a white mark on the front of him, causing no damage to the tank! Therefore, Giovanni.

Brigadier General Messe knew that this battle could not be fought anymore. If he persisted, it would only cause all the 89th Infantry Division to be killed!

The Easterners fought to the end, and the horses were wrapped in corpses as the highest honor of soldiers! But Westerners were different. When they lost hope, they were more willing to surrender to save their lives! However, even so, when the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army surrendered,
Chapter completed!
