"Dong dong dong!" The 18 75mm mountain guns of the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army poured shells crazily onto the sea at the maximum rate of fire. Although the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Italian Army was relatively weak, they benefited from the training of the instructors from Germany.
Strict training has enabled these artillery units to exert great combat effectiveness! The 75mm mountain gun is not very powerful, but it is a fatal threat to unarmored landing craft!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The shells that fell one after another exploded on the sea, splashing water columns. The Chinese Marine Corps soldiers who rushed to the coast on the landing craft lay down on the landing craft one by one, avoiding the fire from the shore.
Rain of bullets. At this time, they are the most helpless. Once the landing craft is hit, they will destroy the boat and kill everyone!
"Boom!" A landing craft was hit by a 75mm artillery shell. In an instant, the entire landing craft was torn into pieces in the explosion! Even the soldiers on the landing craft suffered heavy casualties and fell into the water! The navy and marines on the landing craft
The soldiers of the team are fully armed at the moment
Yes, with a load of more than 20 kilograms! Even if you are not killed by the shell, if you cannot throw away the equipment in time after falling into the water, you will be drowned alive! Under normal circumstances, once the landing craft is blown up, the landing craft on it will be destroyed.
The chance of a soldier surviving is very small!
During the shelling of the Italian Army, landing craft were constantly blown up. The battalion of the 8th Division of the Chinese Marine Corps that launched the landing operation suffered heavy losses! However, the warships of the Chinese Navy’s 33rd Task Force on the sea are not just decorations!
When the artillery of the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army opened fire, the Chinese warships on the navy immediately adjusted the target of the bombardment and fired fiercely at the artillery of the Italian Army!
In less than five minutes, the artillery of the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army was completely lost in the fierce shelling. At this time, the landing craft of the Chinese Marine Corps soldiers also washed ashore!
One by one, the Marines jumped off the landing craft, waded through knee-deep water, and charged towards the shore!
"Click, click, click!" The machine gunner set up the machine gun on the bow of the landing craft and fired at the shore. It provided fire cover for the landing Marines!
The destroyers of the Navy's 33rd Task Force also drove directly to a place less than two kilometers from the shore and fired violently at the Italian Army's positions with rapid-fire cannons. The dense shells plowed directly into the positions of the Italian Army's 89th Infantry Division.
However, the Italian Army's 89th Infantry Division lost its
Tragic! Although the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army also built many defensive positions on the shore, such as bunkers and other fixed firepower points! However, under the intensive firepower of the Chinese Navy, these fixed firepower points were all bombed one by one.
God, it didn’t play a big role at all!
"Buzz!" There was the sound of a large swarm of wasps flying in the sky! Fighters taking off from the two aircraft carriers of Task Force 32 arrived on the battlefield! They were all H9C 'Cang Hu' dive bombers, 24 in each group.
!Two 500kg heavy aerial bombs are hung under the belly of each aircraft! When dealing with fixed targets on land, the hit rate of dive bombers is much higher than that of level bombers!
These 'Canghu' dive bombers were hovering over the battlefield. Once they discovered the Italian Army's firepower points or artillery positions, they immediately roared down and dropped the bombs under the belly of the aircraft, destroying the Italian Army's resistance!
The Italian Army's troops are basically newly formed troops! Although many soldiers are veterans who participated in the last World War. However, in the last World War, they were utterly defeated by the Chinese Army. More attention is paid to the Chinese Army.
It has long left a shadow in their hearts. This time they were attacked fiercely again, and it was a trinity attack by sea, land and air. These Italian army soldiers were simply unable to resist. At the same time, their morale was also plummeting!
At 6:40, a battalion of the 8th Division of the Chinese Marine Corps broke through the defense line of the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army on the coast and established a beachhead. With the support of warships at sea and aircraft in the sky
, launch an attack on the deep positions of the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army! The follow-up troops of the 8th Marine Division of the Chinese Marine Corps can be said to have landed! With just one battalion, it is simply impossible to defeat an infantry division of the Italian Army and capture Naples.
Unrealistic!
At 6:45, an attack aircraft from a squadron of the Chinese Army Aviation Force arrived on the battlefield and began to provide fire support to the Marine Corps! The attack aircraft is a main model of the Chinese Army Aviation Force, specially designed to provide air fire support to the army troops!
The attack aircraft currently equipped by the Chinese Army Aviation Force is the Q5 'Night Owl' attack aircraft. The model has changed, but the code name is still the same!
The Q5 'Night Owl' attack aircraft is based on the Air Force's F10 'Lightning' heavy fighter. It has a similar appearance and uses two engines to enhance the power and take-off weight of the fighter. However, the F10 'Lightning' heavy fighter is mainly
In order to increase the voyage, for
The long-range bomber provides protection. The Q5'Night Owl' attack aircraft is to increase the bomb load and airborne time! The Q5'Night Owl' attack aircraft has a top speed of 460 kilometers per hour and an airborne time of 4 hours. It has one 37mm armament.
Aviation machine gun, can target tanks, etc.
Attack the armored target! Although the armor of the tank is thick, if a kilogram is launched from the air, the 37mm cannon is enough to penetrate the top armor of the tank! In addition, the Q5'Night Owl' attack aircraft also has four 12.7mm aviation machine guns
, respectively deployed in two
There are 1,000 rounds of ammunition on the wings! Inside the belly and on the external pylons, bombs weighing up to one ton can also be carried! This makes the Q5'Night Owl' attack aircraft very powerful! It is used to support the army, especially armored forces in offensive
When used, it can play an extremely powerful role!
After a squadron of 12 Q5 'Night Owl' attack aircraft arrived on the battlefield, they dealt an even more severe blow to the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army! These attack aircraft hovered in the sky, sometimes strafing ground targets, and sometimes dropping bombs, as if written
The artillery shells, bullets or bombs that arrived were not used up! It directly caused the collapse of the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army!
"General, more than half of the two regiments on the front line have suffered casualties. The Chinese attack was too fierce! Many of our soldiers were killed and wounded by their aircraft!" said Xiang Giowa, chief of staff of the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army.
Brigadier General Ni Mesai reported!
"Damn it! Order the frontline troops to withdraw and defend the city!" Brigadier General Giovanni Messe said expressionlessly! In this war, Brigadier General Giovanni Messe made one mistake, that is, he did not make a mistake in time.
Blow up the port of Naples, allowing the subsequent main force of the Chinese Army's 20th Group Army to use the port facilities to quickly land in Italy! This directly led to the rapid defeat of the Italian Army in this war!
When the news that Naples was attacked by the Chinese army was sent back to Rome, neither King Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy nor Prime Minister Mussoniri had gotten up yet! When Italian Army Chief of Staff Badoglio sent
After being reported to them, both of them were shocked! Prime Minister Mussonili even rushed to the palace immediately.
"General Badoglio, I don't care what method you use, you must defend Naples and drive the Chinese into the sea! We cannot let them land in Italy! Otherwise, we will be finished!" Vittorio Emma in pajamas
Nuele III roared!
"Your Majesty the King! The Army will do its best! However, Naples is not our focus, where we only have one infantry division! Brigadier General Giovanni Messe, commander of the division, reported that the Chinese offensive was very fierce, and they dispatched
Battleships and Air Force fighter planes! The 89th Infantry Division has now suffered heavy losses! Without reinforcements, they will not be able to hold Naples!" General Badoglio said!
"Then send them reinforcements! We have an army of millions and send two armies of reinforcements to Naples!" Vittorio Emanuele III said impatiently! Obviously, he has been captured by the Chinese army.
The news of the landing in Naples confused everyone!
"Yes, Your Majesty! The General Staff has ordered nearby armies to rush to Naples for reinforcements! However, we need time!" General Badoglio said! In fact, there is only one army around Naples, which is only 50,000 people.
! The troops closest to Naples will not be able to arrive until the afternoon. And can the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army hold on until the afternoon? At least General Badoglio has no hope!
"Your Excellency, Chief of the General Staff! We must stop the Chinese attack as much as possible! If we cannot drive them into the sea, we must block them in southern Italy and not allow them to enter the hinterland of Italy!" said Prime Minister Mussolini!
"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister! The General Staff has begun to dispatch reinforcements! We plan to dispatch an armored division! In addition, we lack anti-tank weapons. We hope that the government can contact Germany and let them support us with a group of advanced anti-tank weapons.
Gun!" Admiral Badoglio said!
"Okay, the government will contact Germany!" Prime Minister Mussolini said! The Italian Army is almost terrifying in the construction of armored forces! The Army's two armored divisions also use tanks and tanks eliminated by the German Army.
Armored vehicles were built! As for anti-tank guns, they are just outdated weapons!
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the defense task of Italy is left to you! I will go to Berlin in person to ask for help from His Majesty the Kaiser!" King Vittorio Emanuele III, the King of Italy, suddenly said!
