At 9:30 pm on the 21st, Qin's advisor believed that the time was about the same and sent hundreds of people wearing gas masks into the valley to investigate the situation.
The A army entered the canyon cautiously. There must be some Italian soldiers alive. If the gun is short at this time, it will be unlucky for itself.
There are indeed people alive in Italy. There are actually more than 5,000 people alive out of 50,000. They only survived by pouring water on military blankets and towels and covering their noses to breathe. They watched the Afghan army sneak in, fearing that it would cause trouble.
Misunderstanding, I immediately put my other hand into my crotch and pulled hard. A pair of white underwear came out. I lifted it up and shook it there.
The Afghan army did not fire, but more and more Italian soldiers were found. It was really scary. They saw with their own eyes the soldiers who were gassed. The officers kept grabbing their throats and faces, and then vomited.
The ones with white foam died, and those who were less poisoned were even worse. They struggled there for an hour before they died, and their heads were scratched and their faces were completely disfigured.
In this battle, the Afghan army only suffered a few hundred casualties at the beginning. It killed more than 45,000 enemy people and captured more than 5,000 people. It also had more supplies, including more than 40,000 rifles, light and heavy machine guns, artillery, and armored vehicles.
Ammunition, food and water are countless
The Afghan army won a great victory, and King Selassie I was overjoyed. The palace immediately informed the citizens of the victory. Countless people spontaneously came out to celebrate. Businessmen and embassy staff from various countries were awakened in their sleep. They had just fallen asleep.
But after asking around, I found out that another 50,000 Italian troops had been wiped out.
The embassies of various countries immediately reported the news to their respective governments. The governments were shocked and another 50,000 troops were killed. It did not look like a fraud. In this way, Italy lost 100,000 troops. How long has it been! If it was right
It's nothing to go to Britain, France, Germany and other countries. Italy is much weaker than these countries, but Abyssinia is much weaker than Italy, and it has been repeatedly eliminated and captured by organized forces.
At this time, the Abyssinian army turned to counterattack, and 60,000 elites and 50,000 feudal militia groups assembled from various places launched an attack on the Italian occupation forces. The Italian army remaining in northern Abyssinia had 30,000 troops, and there were still 30,000 troops left in northern Abyssinia.
There were more than a hundred aircraft. Most of these aircraft were occupied by the Albanian army before they could be destroyed. The Italian troops in various places were too scattered. Under the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops, by the morning of the 22nd, they had all been wiped out.
The Afghan army transferred some of the militia groups who are good at fighting to supplement the regular army.
In this battle, the Afghan army captured countless items, especially airplanes. There was nothing they could do at night. Under the sudden attack by the Afghan army, the Italians were captured before they could destroy them. They also had a lot of gasoline.
In just two days, 80,000 Italian troops were wiped out and captured. This huge victory inflated the national pride of the Afghan army, and the whole nation also benefited from it. They temporarily put aside their estrangements and fought against the Italian army together.
Because Italians are not invincible
The Afghan army was already looking for opportunities to take back Eritrea and drive the Italians out of East Africa. The failure of the Italians and the victory of the Afghan army once again stimulated the oppressed ethnic groups. After the lost land in the north was recovered, the Abyssinian Emperor Haile Se
King Lassi I gave a speech and quoted Wang Jiuling's words, "Imperialism is all a paper tiger." This sentence immediately spread throughout the world and inspired countless people.
The victory of the Afghan army in the north put the 50,000 Italian troops attacking from Somalia into an isolated situation. In the end, they were forced to retreat. On the way, they were subjected to guerrilla warfare and landmine attacks, and they fled back to Somalia in embarrassment.
, all the territory of Abyssinia was taken back
Except for Britain, France and Italy, other countries expressed congratulations on Abyssinia's victory, and Qin was naturally the first to do so. Haier and Selassie I were delighted and gave a knighthood to each soldier in the advisory group.
, although they don’t care, with this identity, it will be much easier to deal with Qin’s activities in Africa in the future.
In other parts of Africa, people of the Xueqin people set off fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate. This victory was the greatest encouragement for them to strive for national independence. For a time, the colonial rule of various countries in Africa and Asia was in turmoil, and Britain and France, which had been tired of suppressing uprisings before, continued to
They are no longer willing to help Italy in such a meaningless dispute. They are very worried about the spread of this national sentiment. If Abyssinia is destroyed, those armed personnel will, for example, flee to the surrounding British and French colonies.
Go and harm Britain and France
Unlike Abyssinia, where national sentiment is at an all-time high, Italy is filled with mourning and anger. Large-scale demonstrations broke out in various places, demanding that Mussolini step down. The first time you can make excuses, but the second time there is absolutely no excuse.
I can no longer make excuses for failure, and I can no longer shirk responsibility.
Italy was in turmoil for a while, but the Afghan army was unprecedentedly powerful and cohesive at this time. One hundred thousand Afghan troops entered Eritrea and took back many areas that were fought a hundred years ago, including the port city of Assab near Djibouti.
, As long as we occupy this place, Abyssinia will have a port again, Haier; Selassie I was worried about irritating the Italians at first, but later he thought that the Italians had been irritated and would not let Abyssinia go, but
Abyssinia has a port, which makes it much easier to buy anything, so it acquiesces to the military operation.
In the end, Eritrea's more than 20,000 troops and some military police could only defend several cities such as Barentu, Akdat, Mendefera, Dekemuhare, and Massawa.
In the end, Britain and France believed that they should not watch Abyssinia bully Italy again. This would be equivalent to Africans fighting Europeans. They clearly saw the impact of the war on African colonies. If it is not curbed, it may cause irreparable losses.
, so that the Afghan army stopped attacking
In this way, in order to continue to maintain his rule, Mussolini agreed to the suggestions of Britain and France and signed a peace treaty with Abyssinia. Although there was a lot of noise in the middle, asking the Abyssinians to drive out the Qin people, etc., but
It’s strange that Selassie I would agree. Without the support of the Qin people, the next time the Italians came over, Abyssinia would be destroyed. Finally, after more than a month of quarrel, the Italians used money to redeem the captives.
According to the rank of the officers and soldiers, the price is also different, but the money soon arrived in Qin State, Haier; Selassie I purchased a large amount of equipment and supplies
At the same time, the south of Eritrea belongs to Abyssinia, and the north still belongs to Italy. Abyssinia has an outlet to the sea again, but Qin is still at war with Britain and Italy and cannot go to do business, and the people of the advisory group finally
With Wang Jiuling's permission, he married a local woman. After all, they now have a title, and Haier; Selassie I and the princes and nobles from all over the country competed for their daughters and nieces. The nieces married them, and once they won over them, Haier;
Selassie I also needed these people to continue serving them. If he married a noble, his loyalty would be much more reliable.
