After taking down Naples, the 20th Army of the Chinese Army began to land on a large scale. In addition to the 20th Armored Brigade, which first landed, there were the 124th Mechanized Infantry Division, the 125th Motorized Infantry Division, the 126th Motorized Infantry Division, and
The subsequent three infantry divisions and army units have not had many directly under their jurisdiction, with a total of more than 200,000 people. It is expected that it will take about two days to all of them to get ashore! Before that, the 33rd Special Mixed Fleet of the Chinese Navy and the 32nd Special Mixed Fleet of the Navy,
And the Army Air Force will provide them with full cover!
General Wang Qiuyan, commander of the 20th Army of the Chinese Army, and Lieutenant General Shi Deyou, also came ashore as soon as possible! After the troops landed in Italy, they will be the main battles! In terms of the navy, air force and army aviation, the main ones are also
Just provide support for them!
The Chinese army landed in Naples in southern Italy, which caused an uproar in the members of the Holy Alliance! This was the first time that the Chinese army landed on the European continent during this world war, which also means that the iron hoof of the Chinese army is
Settling on the European continent! If the Holy Alliance cannot defeat China, then the European continent will sink under the iron hoof of the Chinese army!
To this end, German Emperor William II even held an emergency meeting to discuss the next step of deployment! The loss of air supremacy in the Mediterranean region, coupled with the Chinese army landing in Italy, gave Germany the advantage gained by sneak attacks at the beginning of the war.
It's gone!
"Marson Falkenhain, with the strength of the Italian army, can they withstand the Chinese attack?" William II asked uncertainly! According to the information obtained by Germany, China's troops landing in Italy only had one group of troops
, that is, more than 200,000 people! And in a short period of time, there will not be too many troops landing in Italy! The Italian Army has 1.3 million people, and this number is still three per month
The number of 100,000 has increased. Although the equipment of the Italian Army is not as good as that of the German Army, it has been greatly improved compared to the last World War! Therefore, William II believes that if the Italian Army can perform well
If it is, a miracle may happen!
"Your Majesty! I am not optimistic about the Italian Army! After deduction, the General Staff concluded that if the Imperial Army does not enter Italy to help them, the Italian Army can last for up to one month!" said Marshal Falkenhain!
"In one month? With the attack of more than 200,000 Chinese, millions of Italian troops can only last for such a little time?" Crown Prince William exclaimed! You know. The current Italian army has been strictly followed by the German instructors.
After training, compared with the last world war, it has been completely transformed! Although it cannot be compared with the great German army, Crown William believes that the combat power of these Italian troops can at least be as good as those short Chinese.
Compare!
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! The Chinese have absolute sea and air advantages in the Mediterranean region! The Italian sky has been completely shrouded in Chinese fighter jets! And the terrain of Italy is unique, and many important coastal areas are in the Chinese naval large caliber ships
Within the range of the artillery! Although the Chinese Army has not invested much troops in Italy, they are well-equipped. It is indeed very difficult for the Italian Army to resist and station! "Martin Falkenhein said! Although the German Army has not yet been with China
The Army has fought. However, the intelligence obtained from the German Army General Staff and the performance of the Chinese Army in the last world war have already made the German Army General Staff give a general evaluation! The German Army General Staff believes that
.The individual quality of the Chinese Army is only a little worse than that of the German Army. If the German Army is one hundred, then the Chinese Army is about ninety! In terms of weapons and equipment, the German Army is even a little behind the Chinese Army, regardless of
Is it heavy weapons such as tanks and armored vehicles or individual equipment? The German Army is catching up with the Chinese Army! With the advantages of the Chinese army in the air force, the German Army General Staff believes that the German Army can draw with the Chinese Army at most!
This is still the case where the number of both sides is roughly the same! What really makes the German Army General Staff arrive is the huge source of troops of the Chinese Army. Without the help of other members of the Holy Alliance, Germany would have almost no one to win.
Possible!
"Your Majesty, we must help Italy, and we cannot let the Chinese destroy Italy easily! Otherwise, if the Chinese deploy a large number of combat aircraft in northern Italy, we can directly threaten Germany! Even the entire Germany will be in the Chinese
Within the range of long-range bombers! Before the new fighter of the Imperial Air Force cannot be installed, it is difficult for the Imperial Air Force to defend our airspace!" said Admiral Schultz, commander of the Luftwaffe Air Force. The Chinese Air Force took off from islands on the Mediterranean and was subject to
Due to the range and other reasons, the Chinese Air Force can only take off long-range bombers and heavy fighters to attack Germany! If the Chinese Air Force obtains an airport in northern Italy, the pressure on the Luftwaffe will at least double!
"Marson Falkenhain, the Army has formulated a plan to support Italy! If the Italian war situation is irreversible, then the Imperial Army will send troops to northern Italy to control northern Italy! To defend the empire's land!" said William II!
The tall Alps are not enough to block the Chinese fighter planes! To ensure the safety of Germany, one can only establish another line of defense in northern Italy to resist the Chinese in southern Italy! The northern part of Italy is rugged and the transportation is inconvenient, and the Chinese Army is
Mechanized equipment cannot be deployed, and the German army only needs to invest a small amount of mountain troops to guard the major transportation routes in northern Italy.
Marshal Falkenhain nodded. Germany's approach to this is obviously to give up Italy! However, there is no way to do this. Compared with other countries of the Holy Alliance, Italy is already within the scope of China's attack!
Italy, surrounded by the sea on three sides, cannot defend against the powerful Chinese army! After research, the German General Staff made a plan to mobilize the Italians as much as possible and hold back the strength of the Chinese! Let the Chinese fall into Italy
In the quagmire of war!
As for the German Navy, they are not helpful to the Italian battlefield! Now the German Navy aviation and carrier-based aircraft units are competing with the Chinese Air Force and Naval Air Force for air supremacy in the British Isles and the English Channel! However, with the Chinese Air Force and Navy
The main force of the aviation force has arrived, and the pressure on the German navy is increasing! Not to mention capturing the Ireland Island, even defending Britain has become a problem! When the strength gap is too obvious, it is difficult for the German navy to win.
Very big!
Later, William II gave another instruction, requiring the German army that invaded the Austro-Hungarian Empire to speed up the progress, capture the coastal province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and incorporate the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire into the German occupation! The Chinese army landed in Italy because of
The blockade of the Alps will not pose too much threat to Germany! But if the Chinese army landed in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, then the German army would have to deploy heavy troops in the Austro-Hungarian Empire! Once the Chinese army breaks through the German defense line, there will be
It may pose a serious threat to Germany!
At noon on January 10, the Italian Army departed from Rome had arrived north of Naples! The 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army and the reinforcements of ten infantry divisions were transported to the northern part of Naples through unblasted railways, only to Naples.
Area less than 30 kilometers!
Faced with the incoming reinforcements of the Italian Army, General Wang Qiuyan, commander of the 20th Army of the Chinese Army, ordered a counterattack! The main force of the 20th Army, the 20th Armored Brigade, the direct artillery brigade, the 124th Mechanized Infantry Division, the 125th
The Motorized Infantry Division and the 126th Motorized Infantry Division, an army of more than 80,000 people, launched an attack at 1 pm on January 10!
At 2:00 p.m., two squadrons of H9C'Canghu' dive bombers took off from two aircraft carriers of the 32nd Special Mixed Fleet in a squadron of F11B'Vulture' fighter jets
Under cover, the Italian Army was bombed violently, and the 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army was undoubtedly the target of key strikes. During the precise bombing of the H9C's "Canghu" dive bomber, the 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army lost more than fifty vehicles.
Tanks and armored vehicles. In addition, infantry deployed along the railway line were also bombed and strafed, causing heavy losses!
At 2:30 pm, a battalion of the Chinese Army Air Force's H9C's "Canghu" dive bomber also came again, causing heavy losses to the Italian army! The commander of this Italian army, Italian Army General Enrico Cavilia
Very angry. But when faced with the Chinese planes, they had no means of counterattack!
At 3 pm, the 20th Armored Brigade of the 20th Army of the Chinese Army, with the cooperation of the 124th Mechanized Infantry Division, launched an attack on the Italian army! The 5 tank battalions of the 20th Armored Brigade, a total of 180 'Leopard' tanks,
He took the lead and rushed towards the Italian army at high speed. Behind them was the armored vehicles of the 124th Mechanized Infantry Division. The other two motorized infantry divisions set out in a detour, trying to annihilate the more than 100,000 Italian troops!
More than 100 "Leopard" tanks formed a steel torrent, emitting an indomitable momentum! This is also the first time that the "Leopard" tank equipped by the Chinese Army has been put into actual combat!
