"Please note of each battalion! Control the combat distance between 500 meters and 800 meters! First destroy the enemy's tanks, and then deal with armored vehicles!" The brigade commander of the 20th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army ordered! Tanks equipped by the Italian Army,
Basically, it is the No. 3 tank eliminated by the German Army and the T5 Cheetah medium tank sold to Germany by the Chinese Army. Its 57mm tank gun is more than 500 meters away, and for the 'Leopard' tank, the armor is 80mm thick.
There is no threat! The armor used in the 'Leopard' tank is, but the latest armor developed by Chinese steel companies has just been added to the alloy synthesized after adding other elements, and its defense is quite strong! As long as it is not close to one hundred meters
Within, if the Italian Army tanks want to penetrate the front armor of the 'Leopard' tank, they will set out to show God's appearance!
However, when the 20th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army was preparing to have a big meal, there were still people faster than them! The Q5 Night Owl attack aircraft hovering in the sky also discovered the Italian Army's armored forces. They would not
These Italian armored troops were given to the 20th Armored Brigade of the Army! Under the order of the squadron leader, 12 Q5' Night Owl's Attack Planes hovered down and launched an attack on the Italian Army's armored troops!
"Boom! Boom!" Boom one by one, bombs were dropped from the belly of the aircraft. Although the 100-kilogram aviation bomb mounted by the striking aircraft was not as powerful as heavy aviation bombs, there was no problem in dealing with these tanks and armored vehicles.
However, the accuracy of dropping bombs from the air is not guaranteed! However, as long as the bomb explodes within five meters from the target, it can basically destroy the tanks of the Italian Army! The shock wave generated by the explosion is enough to blow up the tank weighing 20 tons.
Flip. Those armored vehicles with weaker armor are only dead end!
Under the attack of 12 Q5'Yeon Owl's attack aircraft, the 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army once again lost dozens of tanks before it had even exchanged fire with the 20th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army! The 37mm cannon of the Q5'Yeon Owl's attack aircraft,
Although it is not enough to penetrate the front armor of an Italian tank. However, when fired from above the tank, it can easily penetrate the weak armor above the massage department! Italian tanks after another were named and caught fire and burned! Italy, full of fire, was covered in fire.
Tank soldiers crawled out of the tank and rolled on the ground, hoping to extinguish the fire on their bodies. However, this was basically futile and eventually burned into charcoal!
"Damn it! Those guys from the Army Aviation Army are simply robbing food from the tiger!" The tank soldiers of the 20th Armored Brigade. Seeing the Q5 Night Owl attack aircraft of the Army Aviation Army constantly destroying the tanks and armored vehicles of the Italian Army, they shouted and scolded.
.They have already regarded the 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army as the fat in the bowl, but the Army Aviation Corps has made a thrust!
Fortunately, the Q5'Yeon Owl's attack aircraft carried not many bombs and shells, and they used a lot of them when dealing with the Italian Army before. This made them unable to consume ammunition after a while after ravaging the 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army.
I won't return to the airport. The tanks and armored vehicles of the 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army were not well received. The 20th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army has already come to the front!
"At 1 o'clock direction. A T5 Cheetah tank! Fire!" A Chinese Army's 'Leopard' tank stopped suddenly. After a few seconds, the tank gun opened fire! A 75mm armor-piercing bomb was 500 meters at a high speed
A T5 Cheetah medium tank flying away. In the blink of an eye, the T5 Cheetah medium tank was hit. The front armor was penetrated with a big hole the size of a fist, and the armor-piercing bomb exploded inside the tank, killing
After several tank soldiers inside died, the entire tank was burning! Although the destroyed T5 Cheetah tank was also produced by China at the time. However, when fighting against these tanks, the soldiers of the 20th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army were
Nothing to care about it!
The entire battlefield was almost one-sided! The tanks of the 20th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army frequently opened fire at a distance of 500 to 800 meters! The tanks and armored vehicles of the 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army were not at all fought back.
Force, one after another, caught fire and burned. Finally, it became a pile of scrap iron!
Lieutenant General Rudolph Graziani, commander of the 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army, was stunned! He was extremely capable in the Italian Army.
Lieutenant General Rudolf Graziani knew very well about the combat power of the 2nd Armored Division! In his opinion, the 2nd Armored Division trained by German instructors is definitely the best-selling army among the Italian army, even if
It can be regarded as a powerful brigade in the entire Europe and even the world. But now, on the battlefield, the Chinese Army's armored forces completely suppressed the 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army. To be more precise, this is a total massacre!
The army's tanks are constantly hunting the Italian army's tanks and armored vehicles, while the Italian army's tanks are difficult to hit the target. Even if they hit the target, their tank guns seem to be too small, which is fundamental to Chinese tanks.
It will not cause fatal damage!
In just twenty minutes, the tank battle was almost completely lost in more than 200 tanks of the 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army! dozens of tanks were destroyed by the Chinese Army aviation force, and the remaining tanks were again destroyed by China.
The 20th Armored Brigade of the Army destroyed most of the war. The 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army was lost in this battle! In a panic, Lieutenant General Rudolf Graziani issued an order to retreat.
The dozens of remaining Italian Army tanks and armored vehicles turned around in a mess, trying to escape from the battlefield. However, their move exposed the weak rear and sides of the tank to the front of the Chinese armored forces.
Facing such a good opportunity, the 20th Armored Brigade naturally would not miss it, and they all aimed at the tanks and armored vehicles of the 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army to open fire!
In this tank battle, the 20th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army achieved brilliant results and achieved great victory! Only a few tanks on its own were damaged, and they were basically caused by failure or the damage caused by the destruction of tracks. The Italian Army
2 The armored division's tanks and armored vehicles were almost completely lost!
After the 20th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army annihilated the 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army, it continued to attack northward! The 124th Mechanized Infantry Division of the Chinese Army also caught up and cooperated with the Armored Brigade to launch an attack on the Italian Army's depth!
The Italian Army commander Enrico Cavilia saw that the situation was wrong and quickly issued an order to retreat. More than 100,000 Italian Army immediately gave up its position and retreated in the direction of Rome! However, at this time, the 125th Chinese Army, which was carrying out a roundabout attack, was the 125th.
The Motorized Infantry Division and the 126th Motorized Infantry Division broke out from both wings, cut off the Italian Army's retreat and surrounded more than 100,000 Italian Army. To the south, the 20th Armored Brigade and the 124th Mechanized Infantry Division were also there.
The Italian army is in danger of being completely wiped out by launching a fierce attack!
A squadron of H9C's Canghu' dive bomber also a squadron of F11B's Vulture' fighter jets also rushed to the battlefield and bombed the Italian Army with strafing, which made it even more
The morale of the Italian Army was hit hard! A large number of Italian Army officers and soldiers took advantage of the fact that the Chinese army's encirclement had not yet been formed and fled! However, the main force of the Italian Army could not escape and was gradually closed.
The main force of the 20th Army of the Chinese Army was surrounded.
In the evening, the surrounded Italian army had more than 80,000 people. Although the Chinese army surrounded the Italian army only had three divisions and one armored brigade, the number of troops was not as strong as that of the Italian army. However, under the fierce attack of the Chinese army,
The Italian army was simply powerless to resist!
That night, General Enrico Cavilia ordered a breakout and wanted to break through at night to escape. However, several attacks were blocked back. This made the surrounded Italian army gradually lose confidence!
The next day, on the morning of January 11, the Italian army that had lost confidence surrendered to the Chinese army! Admiral Enrico Cavilia surrendered to the Chinese army on behalf of the besieged Italian army and handed over his own mate.
gun!
From the beginning to the end of the battle, a main force of the Italian Army was wiped out in just half a day. The fleeing Italian army was less than 20,000, which shows the weakness of the Italian army and the strength of the Chinese army!
After winning the battle, the 20th Army of the Chinese Army began to continue to march towards Rome. The landing ground of Naples was handed over to the 8th Marine Division for protection! With the assistance of the Chinese Navy and Air Force, the 8th Marine Corps
The division has enough strength to protect Naples!
The 20th Army of the Chinese Army marched into Rome, which shocked the Italian government. Italian King Vittorio Emmanuele III fled to Germany even more rampantly and left Prime Minister Mussonilli in Rome to preside over state affairs!
Germany also had to speed up its deployment, on the one hand, it stepped up sending troops into northern Italy to build a defense line. On the other hand, it ordered the troops entering the Austro-Hungarian Empire to increase their offensive efforts and conquer the entire country before the Chinese army landed in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire would not pose a threat to Germany’s mainland by using the Austro-Hungarian Empire as a bridgehead!
The German Army strengthened its offensive, which made the Austrian Kingdom's army feel huge pressure! Originally, under the attack of the German Army, the Austrian Kingdom's army struggled to support it. As a last resort, the Austrian-Hungarian Crown Prince Carl had to go to China again.
