Of the 2,700 men of the 3rd Marksman Regiment of South Rotier, more than 600 were killed, 120 were captured, and the remaining 2,100 were all killed by gas bombs.

After learning of the results of the battle, Xue Xinghua, chief of staff of the Fourth Division, was taken aback, and hurriedly reported to Wang Maoru about the battle situation, saying that the enemy had all died because he had not prepared many gas masks because he was close to the lake. Wang Maoru specially ran over to visit, and saw that the soldiers were collecting the corpses of the enemy, and the rows of corpses could not see the edge, so he cried and said with false compassion...... Good along the way. By the way, Chief of Staff Xue, they took away all their equipment, this is a trophy, I heard that they also have a 100mm howitzer? ”

"Intact, just no shells." Xue Xinghua said, and whispered again: "Xiushuai, there are not many poison gas bombs, don't waste them, let's keep them, keep them well, and put them in my fourth division, no one knows, God doesn't know it." The subordinates think that destroying it is too wasteful, so let's hide it. ”

"Can you hide it? If this thing is leaked, it will kill you. Wang Maoru said with concern.

Xue Xinghua immediately patted his chest and said, "Xiushuai, I promise to complete the task." ”

When Wang Maoru returned to Lodrone Town to hand over the task, Zou Zuobin, the commander of the Fourth Division's Teaching Regiment, asked: "Chief of Staff, this thing is too dangerous, how can you stay in our regiment?" ”

Xue Xinghua said angrily: "You idiot, why did I work so hard to keep this cannonball, isn't it because of the cannon?" If you don't have these three cannons, you can't go to the independent artillery regiment without these gas bombs? You're stupid! ”

Zou Zuobin suddenly realized and said, "The chief of staff is wise." I see. ”

After happily eliminating the 3rd Marksman Regiment of Southern Rotier, Wang Maoru handled the handover with the Italian army, and ordered Xue Xinghua, chief of staff of the 4th Division, and the 4th Division to return to the prisoners at Gong Xiaoqi. It's just that the Austrian 18th Division captured all the baggage, including heavy machine guns and artillery, and left behind. The caliber of the Italians' weapons and shells did not match the Austro-Hungarians, but they did not care about these equipment, and they would not rob what the Chinese captured, but showed Italian demeanor.

The 4th Division of the ** Squadron completely annihilated the 73rd Regiment of the Austro-Hungarian 18th Division and captured the commander of the 73rd Regiment, Haubenstock. Defeated the 1st Bulgarian Supplementary Regiment of the 18th Division, killed the commander of the 2nd Bulgarian Supplementary Regiment, and accidentally captured 16 officers of the 18th Division's General Staff. Captured the Lodrone Plains.

This small battle made the Austrians quite wolfish and played the demeanor of the squadron. Wang Maoru led the Chinese army to withdraw to the Bergamo area, which was very close to Milan, to rest.

The second division feinted with more than 900 dead and wounded, and the fourth division suffered more than 1,600 dead and wounded in the night battle, seized the town of Lodrone and Lake Idro, and advanced the front nearly 20 kilometers.

In this battle, the 73rd Regiment of the Austro-Hungarian Army was completely annihilated, and the commander of the 73rd Regiment was captured alive, and the commander of the 2nd Bulgarian Supplementary Regiment was accidentally hit by a stray bullet and died, and the 3rd Marksman Regiment of South Rotier was completely destroyed. After the war, the squadron collected and counted more than 4,700 Austro-Hungarian soldiers. More than 2,300 prisoners were captured. After the incident, more than 600 people were abused and beaten to death by the squadron.

When World War I ended, the rest of the Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war complained to the Allied forces about the mistreatment of the squadron, but this was stopped by the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The victory of the ** team in the battle of Lodrone Town shocked the commanders of the coalition army, and the ** squadron made trouble for the coalition forces in the back and put it in the front. He quietly took away the valley and acquired 120 square kilometers of land in Austria-Hungary.

Don't underestimate this 120 square kilometers of land, this is the biggest achievement of the Entente on the Italian-Austrian battlefield, and this achievement was actually obtained by the squadron, how can it not shock the Italians.

The Austro-Hungarian army was also quite surprised. The loss of one of the largest plains in Southern Rotil made the Austro-Hungarian Chief of Staff furious and reprimanded the commander of the Third Army for retaking the Lodrone plain.

In order to fight for this small plain in the valley of the Abers Mountains, which covers an area of only 120 square kilometers, the Italian battlefield in 1918, when there was no fighting, the two sides quickly committed a large number of troops.

On the Italian side, the Chief of the General Staff, Armando Diaz, sent forty-two Italian divisions, while Austria-Hungary sent sixteen, only this time the Italian divisions were on the defensive side and Austria-Hungary was on the attacking side.

On August 27, 1918, Wang Maoru, who had led the army to retreat to Bergamo, was praised by Foch, commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, Foch wanted to award Wang Maoru the Medal of Warrior in Paris, and Italian Prime Minister Orlando awarded Wang Maoru the Order of Heroes of Badi in Rome, the capital of Italy, in order to thank the Chinese army for seizing 120 square kilometers of land in South Rottier for Italy.

Although this battle was a small battle, it played the courage and reputation of the Chinese, but this reputation only lit a small flame for the huge Entente ** team, at most in the Italian Cup people talk about it the most. Because Italy was repeatedly defeated against the Austro-Hungarian army, the squadron wiped out a division of the Austrians in one fell swoop, which made the Italians envious. But the praise of the Italians had no effect on the Entente, after all, the Italians were not good at war, and let a country that had been defeated repeatedly praise the army - well, everyone would say that China also had soldiers.

Wang Maoru didn't know why Foch wanted to award himself the Medal of Warrior, could it be that Foch was full of food? But the people were also well-intentioned, so he first ran to Rome and attended the allied banquet.

When attending the commendation banquet in Rome, Wang Maoru was awarded the Lombard Hero Medal by the Italian Prime Minister and became the focus of the scene, and many reporters also took pictures. Then the Allied Victory Ball was held to celebrate the victory of the Allied Allies, and patriotic fundraising was held, and the banquet was attended by celebrities in addition to the military bigwigs, and under the backdrop of champagne and red wine, everyone donated generously, some were smiling, and some were just showing off. Wang Maoru also met the Chief of Staff of the Italian Army, Armando Diaz, again this time Diaz came over with his female companion and patted Wang Maoru on the shoulder and said: "General, you are doing a very good job, I underestimated you, your squadron is also very good at fighting, and you have won honor for yourself." ”

As a liaison officer and interpreter Laziani after conveying, Wang Maoru felt a little proud in his heart, the Italians who had always looked down on China finally faced themselves, and thanks to the results of this battle, he bowed down and said: "Thank you for your praise, Your Excellency, we hope to make greater contributions to the Entente ** team." ”

Diaz waved his hand and said: "Now that the shape of the European battlefield is becoming clearer and the Austrians are gradually showing fatigue, they are no longer justified, now let's enjoy it." The Italians, who were optimistic and lively by nature, cheered and saluted each other with their wines, and the auditorium was filled with cheerful music and merry dances by men and women.

Seeing this qiē in Wang Maoru's eyes, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, these lovely Italians, they are like the hobbits in "Harry Potter", everything can be turned into a comedy in them.

After rejecting the invitation of several enthusiastic Italian girls, Wang Maoru sat on the sofa next to him, drank a little red wine, and thought about the future. Historically, although China had participated in the war, it did not participate in the European War, which led to the distribution of the spoils at the Paris Peace Conference at the end of World War I, and China became a lamb to the slaughter. This time, with his intervention, the squadron entered Europe, and was able to make such a small contribution in the later stage, so that the Europeans' China uselessness theory could not stand. But what about after that? If China remains in disarray, it will not be able to rise. In the past, he just wanted to be a small warlord, and then he wanted to change his fate, and then he wanted to change the recent situation of the country, but for now, even though he has changed some of the country's recent conditions and treatment, he still can't change the fortunes of the country.

Is China bound to be invaded by Japan in the future?

Will it take 30 years for China to become a real country?

Wang Maoru sighed, can he save this great country with many disasters and difficulties?

Laziani walked over with a smile, raised a toast and asked, "How is it?" Didn't a girl invite you? ”

Wang Maoru had a toast with him and said, "I'm thinking about a problem. ”

"What questions bother the recipients of the Order of the Heroes of Italy?" Laziani glared at a girl. He asked.

"Are you Italians always so happy?" Wang Maoru asked.

"What?"

"I said, why are you always so happy?" Wang Maoru pointed at the girl with a red wine glass, "She's very hot." ”

Laziani laughed, unbuttoned the first button of his shirt, and with his black chest hair out, he whispered, "Actually, king, I want to thank you." ”

Laziani is more than 1.7 meters tall, half a head shorter than Wang Maoru, and whispering next to Wang Maoru is like a reward. Wang Maoru smiled and asked, "Why do you say that?" Speaking of which, I want to thank you for helping me. ”

Raziani shook his head and said, "I owe you thanks, king, you know?" I am a poor boy who grew up in Bari, southern Italy, no matter how hard I try in this life, I can't get into the upper echelons of the army, you know, there is a tradition of Italian officers, that is, all senior officers are northerners, and southern Italy, rich in beautiful women and prodigal boys. But because of you, it's the first time I've been able to enter such a banquet. He gestured to the men and women and said, "These people usually don't look down on a boy like me. Just the girl who rushed at me just now, do you know who she is? ”

"Who is it?" Wang Maoru asked.

"She is the widow of the Count of Como Giuliano. ”

"Is it a rich widow?" Wang Maoru asked with great interest. rs
