"The opponent is on the defensive, although they don't have strong cover, but they have houses in the manor that can provide all kinds of cover, and if we rush to launch a frontal attack, we may be ambushed by the opponent's anti-armor fire, so I decided to let the infantry deploy from the side first, and then the armored vehicles will use the 30mm machine gun to cover the infantry from a distance to launch a tentative attack. Howitzers and mortars carry out suppressive fire and attack the exposed heavy fire points of the opposing side at any time. When the enemy's defenses have dropped, we will launch a general attack, and considering the possible fire countermeasures of the enemy, the howitzer and mortar detachments should be careful to move at any time," Adam ordered.

"It's not enough to rely on battlefield firepower, we don't want to attack too fast, if we can get the 30mm short cannon to shoot at close range, we will have an advantage. We have specially equipped these weapons with a 250KG class jeep, which can be pressed on it. A platoon commander added.

"Of course, but remember not to get too close, these vehicles are maneuverable, but there is almost no armor protection." Adam is naturally very clear about the advantages of this army in his hands, the mobility is excellent, and the firepower is good, but the defense is too poor, this is a thin sword, the power is there, but it is easy to break. Especially when fighting this kind of fortified battle, it is absolutely impossible to fight hard, let alone cut through the opponent's defense line with armored spearheads like heavy troops, and the correct way to use it is to constantly exert pressure to expose the opponent's heavy firepower points, and then use superior firepower to remove the threatening firepower points one by one.

Soon, the order was conveyed. The infantry, who was responsible for suppressing the flanks, quickly spread out in formation. "They were very scattered, and one squad was divided into about three combat groups, which were scattered in an inverted zigzag pattern. One of them was a machine-gun group responsible for providing fire cover in the rear, and the remaining two groups alternated cover advances under the leadership of non-commissioned officers. The opposing side did not advance very fast and, under the cover of smoke bombs, began to approach our positions. And in order to defend against the suppression of the opponent's fire, most of our fire points did not shoot. They were very open, and their attacking line was so close that it was only about 400 metres away from us. A German company commander wrote in the report.

The Germans could not wait any longer, and a small number of machine guns began to suppress the advancing Italian troops, and the long burst fire accurately locked the Italian detachments hiding in depressions or behind bunkers. 60MM MORTARS ALSO BEGAN TO ATTACK THINGS THAT WERE DIFFICULT TO REACH WITH DIRECT FIRE. "Come on, thug, taste this." An Italian soldier pulls out a grenadier from behind him. Then the waist pack and special grenade were loaded, the firing strip was pulled, and with a bang, a grenade made a graceful arc in the air and flew towards a German machine gun a few hundred meters away.

A few seconds later. With an explosion. An MG machine gun was tilted to the side, and the shooter was beaten into a sieve by the flying shrapnel, and then, many assault teams took out grenadiers from their backpacks and began to fire at distant fire points, this simple to use, convenient and concealed small projectile weapons are extremely powerful in the hands of skilled veterans, many machine gun fire points were dumbfounded, and the remaining machine gun teams also had to run out of a chain of bullets and quickly move their positions. The originally dense counterattack quickly became sparse. And take advantage of this opportunity, under the cover of smoke screens. The Italians went further, and the distance between the two sides had been reduced to the effective range of their rifles.

Soon, riflemen from both sides began to fire at each other, but the rate of fire of the Mauser rifle could not keep up with the rate of fire of the Chinese-made semi-automatic rifle (a replica of the historical Garand rifle). In addition, the heavy machine gun fire was suppressed, and the supporting artillery did not dare to fire lightly, so the Germans fought very passively, but fortunately, the number of light machine guns attached to Student was relatively large, and the two sides could still confront each other by relying on the advantage of light machine guns.

But soon, a series of muffled sounds like piledrivers completely broke the balance of power on the battlefield! BEHIND THE ITALIAN ASSAULT TROOPS, A DENSE RAIN OF BULLETS FROM A SHORT AND THICK 30MM MACHINE GUN INSTANTLY COVERED THE GERMAN DEFENSIVE POSITION, AND A SERIES OF EXPLOSIONS CONTINUED TO SOUND, AND SCATTERED SHRAPNEL AND IMPACT BROKE THE GROUND AND WANTONLY TORE AT THE GERMAN TROOPS AND THEIR WEAPONS ON THE POSITION. Powerful assault fire instantly penetrated the German Army's defensive line! "Is this the wail of death?" A panicked German soldier said as he looked at the shells falling from the sky.

THIS WEAPON, WHICH IS LIGHTER THAN THE 37MM GUN, MAKES UP FOR THE LACK OF MACHINE GUN FIRE AND MORTAR FIRE, AND CAN BE USED FOR BOTH FLAT AND TRADE-OFF, WHILE BEING VERY LIGHT AND POWERFUL WITH AMMUNITION. When he first entered the battlefield, he played a heavy role. Suppressed by overwhelming superior firepower, the Italian assault detachments began to drive wedges into the positions, and then, seeing an opportunity, Adam ordered howitzers and heavy mortars deployed in the rear to begin rapid fire to block the Germans' attempts to close the breakthrough. And when the armored vehicles armed with machine guns and large-caliber machine guns began to attack in close proximity, the already overwhelmed defense line suddenly became precarious.

"When did the Italians have so many tricks?" Stepent said to himself impatiently, although the situation is critical, it is far from irretrievable. The trump card in the hands of Spudent will definitely surprise the Italians. When the Italians successfully broke through the first line of defense and rushed to the second line of defense under the cover of various light and heavy firepower, the tongues of fire that suddenly erupted from the hidden fire points caught the opponent off guard! "They actually have medium-caliber flat-firing guns?!" THE HEAVY FIRE INSTANTLY CAUSED HUGE CASUALTIES TO THE ITALIAN TROOPS WHO WERE BREAKING THROUGH, AND EVEN SEVERAL 30MM SHORT MACHINE GUNS THAT WERE RELATIVELY FAR FORWARD AND WERE BEING SUPPORTED BY FLAT FIRE WERE DESTROYED BY FLYING SHELLS, AND THE ARMORED VEHICLES IN THE REAR QUICKLY AIMED AT THE SUDDENLY EXPOSED FIRE POINT, BUT WERE QUICKLY BEATEN INTO BURNING IRON BOXES BY THE SECOND WAVE OF BULLETS.

THE HEAVY FIRE OF THE RECOILLESS GUNS AND THE 50MM LIGHT ANTI-TANK GUNS OF THE GERMANS WAS ABSOLUTELY FATAL FOR THE ITALIAN LIGHT ARMORED UNITS, WHICH LACKED HEAVY UNITS, ESPECIALLY IN SUCH A SITUATION OF SURPRISE. Although the Italians knew that the United States was once armed with recoilless guns, they did not expect that they would encounter such a thing in their own country! After containing the Italian offensive, the light howitzers and mortars under Student also began to rain bullets on the Italian artillery positions in the distance.

But this time, Stockent missed a move, the speed of the artillery with the wheeled armored car chassis to transfer the position is very fast, Adam suffered because he did not expect the other side to have a large number of recoilless guns, but after anticipating that the other side may have light howitzers that can find him, he and his men dealt with it very properly, when the fastest rate of fire tilted half a base of ammunition, they fled and moved to a new position, just when the Italians re-entered the position, The Germans' counterattack fire was only too late, and they made craters in the open ground! By the time the Germans' counter-shelling was not over, Adam's howitzers were already firing at the exposed German artillery positions!

The dense rain of bullets quickly destroyed most of the German artillery that could not be quickly transferred, and the two sides almost fought to a draw, the Germans crushed the Italian attack with strong flat fire, while their own support fire was wiped out by the opponent's highly mobile artillery. Both sides were somewhat lacking, and the Italians had the advantage in supporting firepower, but they were small. The Germans and the Italian Blackshirts stranded on the estates, although they may have been outnumbered, lacked long-range firepower. Many vehicles were also injured by flying shrapnel.

Time passed minute by minute, both sides were very anxious, the reinforcements that Petain wanted had not arrived for a long time, not because the Italian blackshirts were high in combat effectiveness, but because the other side had not yet been concentrated, and they were very scattered, which brought great trouble to the clearance operation. And another reason is because Badoglio, who is in charge of the front command, hesitated after receiving Adam's report, if the Black Shirts really have such strong combat effectiveness, they would have seized power a long time ago, this must be a foreign army, and according to intelligence, nine times out of ten are Germans! Considering the chaotic political environment in Italy now, it is not easy to clean up if it really makes a big mess, so after consulting Tycho, Tycho said that he could let the other party go after giving the other party a "sufficient" lesson!

"What do you mean by enough lessons?" Badoglio looked at the telegram and said a little depressed. But for the latter sentence, he understood. Adam didn't come to get the reinforcements he needed, but he did, "with the option to evacuate on his own, depending on the ammunition and losses." In the following time, Adam just continued to harass the other party with artillery, and did not continue to send infantry to attack, and when night fell, Adam chose to withdraw from the battlefield, on the one hand, to guard against the other party's possible night attack, and on the other hand, to uphold the meaning of the above.

"The Italians are evacuated, and we can use the time of the evening to transfer." Looking at the Italian troops who had withdrawn from the battlefield in the evening, Studenko ordered. He seemed to have known the other party's thoughts, and if the other party wanted to fight, then more than 6 hours would be enough time to send reinforcements to surround him. Then the other party has been delayed in coming to reinforcements, and the reason for taking the initiative to evacuate can only be that he does not want to continue to entangle with himself. The two sides fought against each other for a day, and neither took advantage of anything. And Student didn't want his soldiers to shed their blood for that stupid Italian careerist, so he began to evacuate after making some arrangements. Of course, there are a lot of weapons and ammunition that can't be taken away, and after destroying the text or weapons that might reveal their identity, the rest that can't be taken away will be thrown away, and the blackshirts will let them take it if they want to.
