Volume 2: My Country Chapter 562. The army that makes people collapse!  (Fourth update, please vote for me)

    The direction of the war completely exceeded the expectations of the British high command.

    The accuracy of the German army's judgment and the speed of action were shocking.  The disastrous defeats at "Devil's Land" and Kidney Ridge caused the Commonwealth army to suffer the heaviest losses from the beginning.

    Montgomery hesitated.

    Has the Afrika Korps really reached the point where it has run out of fuel?  At least judging from their current performance, they can definitely continue to carry out the war.

    What¡¯s wrong with this?

    Now, Montgomery placed his hope on the troops who would break through Heights 22 and 23.

    That was a team composed of the 1st Armored Division, the 2nd Royal Artillery Regiment, the 111th Field Artillery Regiment, the 133rd Infantry Brigade, the 1st Greek Infantry Brigade, and the 2nd Free French Brigade.  The Italian troops commanded by General Motta were defending Heights 22 and 23.

    Shortly after the Battle of Kidney Ridge, the British High Command once again intercepted the enemy's "Enigma". In the telegram, the enemy's supreme commander, Marshal Ernst Brahm, was almost there.  Hysterical demands were made that Berlin immediately replenish the Afrika Korps with the supplies they needed.  There are a few sentences in the telegram that caught Montgomery's attention:

    "We are attacking, we are winning, but where is the damn fuel? Our soldiers have seen through the enemy's intentions and are beating our enemies hard, but where is the damn ammunition supply?"

    Subsequently, the "Fighter" also sent a secret telegram to the British High Command. The telegram stated that the Germans had used the last pitiful fuel, they had no replenishment, and their tanks were about to stop attacking because they had run out of fuel!

    Now Montgomery fully understood. He told General Alexander: "Of all the enemies I have known, Baron Alexson is undoubtedly the greatest. His talents far exceed ours, no matter what disguises we make."  , he can always see through it. No matter how confused we are, he will never be fooled. In the ever-changing battlefield, he can always capture our weaknesses most keenly, and then defeat us. If we have sufficient supplies, we will not win.  possible"

    General Alexander nodded reluctantly. Although he was not particularly willing to admit these words that undermined the majesty of the British Empire, this was the fact.

    If supplies are sufficient, no one can defeat Baron Alexon, no one!

    "It is a pity that he has always been a great tragic marshal." General Montgomery sighed: "In the first war, he tried his best and led the Skeleton Commandos to achieve countless victories.  In order to win the reputation of the 'Skeleton Baron' and gain the incomparable respect of our UK, he still failed to help Germany win the final victory. This time he came back and continued to win, but the vital supplies were about to come.  Defeat General Alexon. In fact, from my heart, I don¡¯t want to see him fail.¡±

    "Bernard, if your words are heard by those in the country, they will make a new round of accusations against you." General Alexander smiled.

    "I don't care, I admire it, I even worship our enemy, Baron Alexson." Montgomery said calmly: "To be honest, when this war is over, it is not you and I who will defeat him, but Germany.  The same is true for Rommel. He did everything he could, and no one was better than him. But when the tank runs out of fuel, no matter how good the general is, he cannot win."

    General Alexander nodded: "Then, let's end this."

    General Montgomery grabbed the phone on the table: "Tell General Woodrow to capture Highlands 22 and 23, pursue the defeated Italian army all the way, and cut off the connection between the German armies!"

    After putting down the phone, General Montgomery saw the goddess of victory smiling at him.

    "Marshal Ernst, the enemy has launched an attack on Highlands 22 and 23, and the offensive is very fierce!"

    "Very well, gentlemen, the bet begins now." Wang Weiyi looked at all the officers in the staff with a smile: "How long can Motta and his Italians hold on there?"

    "Marshal, one day, I will bet one hundred marks for this."

    "I bet 12 hours, one hundred marks."

    The officers began to place bets one after another. At such an intense stage of the war, this was very different from the usually rigorous style of German military officers.

    But they already had a commander like this:

    Marshal Ernst Brahm!

    "Guo Yunfeng, write down the numbers they bet." Wang Weiyi smiled and said, "I will bet for 3 hours."

    ? ?Although Marshal Ernst had mentioned many times before that the Italians could only hold on for three hours at most, the German officers did not quite believe it.

    "The Italians don't know how to fight anymore, so they should be able to hold on for three hours, right?"

    But the war is proceeding exactly as Marshal Ernst envisioned

    At 9 o'clock, the British Commonwealth troops, under the command of Lieutenant General Woodrow, launched a fierce attack on Highlands 22 and 23 guarded by the Italians.  The artillery shells of the 2nd Royal Artillery Regiment and the 111th Field Artillery Regiment instantly covered the two highlands.

    And what are the Italian artillery doing at this time?

    The Italian artillery force is actually very powerful. They have artillery and artillery shells that are not inferior to the enemy in any way. However, less than ten minutes after the enemy's bombardment started, the Italian artillery commander General Tavale issued an order:

    Evacuate, get out of this damn place!

    Reason?  The reason is very simple, and it is "noisy": "The enemy will attack before the soldiers have time to eat. I will not let hungry soldiers fight!"

    Crash?  It's really crushing.

    But this is the "outstanding" performance of the Italian army on the battlefield

    General Motta was actually preparing for a big fight on the battlefield. Let the Germans who always laugh at the Italian army take a closer look. Italian soldiers can also fight!

    But damn General Tavale and his artillerymen actually ran away like cowards!

    "I want to report to the leader and shoot this coward!" Amidst the overwhelming sound of enemy artillery, General Motta shouted at the top of his lungs: "He should be shot, shot!"

    "General, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce, and Position 23 has collapsed!"

    "Hold on, let them hold on! Damn it, we can't let the Germans laugh anymore!"

    "There is no way to persist. Those officers are shouting that they don't want to die without the support of artillery fire!"

    "Damn it, have they forgotten the glory of the military?"

    "General, it seems life is more important!"

    Just when General Motta was still unable to make up his mind whether to retreat or continue to resist, the enemy's large-scale attack had already begun.

    The mountains and plains were filled with enemy soldiers, and the Italian army was at a loss.

    When gunfire rang out, some soldiers threw down their weapons and ran away.

    There were no officers to stop them, because officers were also on the run.

    Less than an hour after the war started, Highland 23 fell into the hands of the British army.

    Immediately, the attack on Highland 22 also began.

    General Motta can¡¯t stand it anymore

    To be honest, among all the Italian generals, General Motta is pretty good. At least he seriously wants to fight here.

    Even when Highland No. 23 was lost, he was still working hard to command the troops to continue fighting.

    But the war is not his alone

    "Retreat, retreat!" The helpless General Mota finally issued this order: "Abandon the position, give up the position! Take all my things with you! Yes, that coat was given to me by the leader. You have to be careful.  Hey, that bottle of wine is really good wine from 1910."

    The Italians ran away

    When Lieutenant General Woodrow, the commander of the British army, ascended to Hill 22, he still couldn't believe how easy the victory was.

    The fighting quality of the Italians is simply appallingly poor.  It is a great tragedy that the Germans chose him as their ally.

    "Continue to advance towards Kalman." Lieutenant General Woodrow issued his order: "Officers, let us end this cursed war!"

    12:10.

    "Marshal Ernst, the Italians have failed. Heights 22 and 23 have fallen into the hands of the British. Now the British are chasing after the Italians and will be able to reach Kalman at about 2 p.m."

    "My luck is always so good, ah, I'm talking about gambling luck." Wang Weiyi smiled brightly: "Guo Yunfeng, have you recorded all their bets?"

    "Everything has been recorded, Marshal." Guo Yunfeng said calmly: "I staked a thousand marks on your side."

    "You greedy guy!" Wang Weiyi couldn't help laughing loudly: "Tell Erwin that the enemy is attacking Kalman and order his troops to prepare to attack on the flanks, and I will personally greet the British."??Challenge!  "

    The German officers in the staff were cursing the Italians for their incompetence, which had caused them to lose so much money, but when they heard these words, they all became energetic:

    The Skeleton Baron is about to take action himself!

    The enemy will have to face the enemy they fear the most!

    The myth of invincibility on the battlefield is about to be repeated on the Kalman battlefield!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
