"My main army is gathering in Bologna and Ferrara, there are more than 20,000 of them, I will go there with Your Excellency, and then take command of the whole situation." Mussolini was not at the headquarters in Bologna before the uprising, but in Milan, partly because Ribbentrop had arrived in Milan with 100 German military advisers and armed men to help the Blackshirts from Milan, and Mussolini, as the leader of the party, felt the need to meet with him personally. so as not to be criticized for "not knowing etiquette." On the other hand, for the sake of safety, Mussolini considered it necessary to "see the limelight first", because not long ago, according to his friends in the government, "the Italian navy was very active, and many warships sailed away from the military port, and it was said that exercises were going to be held!" "And just as the Germans were coming, a telegram came that the battleship Caraccino of the Italian Navy and its escort battleships appeared in Ravenna! And it seems to be carrying a transport ship! With the appearance of this news, fools understand the attitude of the Italian Navy!

"Does this guy from Sicily really dare to do it?" Mussolini cursed. And Limbentrop next to him was also very shocked, he was born in the German Army and could clearly feel that things were not good, this was the prelude to military operations, and Mussolini's choice of command center Bologna was too close to the sea, and Ferrara could even be described as leaning against the sea! If the Marines had launched a landing operation from the Adriatic, the Blackshirts located in these two places would have a high probability of being routed. "The success of the Blackshirts' operation does not depend on whether they can stop the attack of the government forces, but on whether the government forces will act! As long as the government forces act firmly and decisively. Even second-rate troops are enough to exterminate these rabble! Ribbentrop later wrote in his report.

At this time, however, Ribbentrop thought first of all what to do with the German infantry battalion that Student had brought. This force was stationed on the outskirts of Bologna and was intended to be used if necessary to remove the "nails" of those who dared to resist. Its ability to engage in a modest engagement at best. If you really engage a front-line army with complete firepower, the double disadvantage in strength and firepower is destined to lead to huge casualties. This is the elite of the German Army, you can't just die here for no reason!

"Listen, if the Marines intervene, I'd better call off the operation immediately, they are definitely no match for the elite Italian Marines, with whom I fought alongside them in North Africa. The combat effectiveness of this army is definitely not inferior to the front-line regular troops of our army! "Just when Mussolini was undecided and Ribbentrop was anxious, a German major in charge of the defense immediately said to Ribbentrop." And Ferrara was almost within the range of the ship's guns. The blackshirts don't stand a chance! "Just kidding, let's not say that the Blackshirts have almost no heavy weapons, even if you have divisional artillery, do you still want to play with naval guns? Their secondary guns are much stronger than your 150 howitzers!

"They don't dare to shoot at the city! They don't have the guts! As long as we're in town. They can't help us! Mussolini was also frightened. As an Italian, how could he not know the awesomeness of the Italian marines, who had always thought that Tycho did not have the guts to take the risk of fighting a civil war to suppress the Blackshirts! But he overestimated himself too much, in terms of the strength of the Blackshirts, even if there was a conflict, it could not be called a war, well, at most it was just a riot! Tycho used a knife to kill chickens this time!

"Hurry up and stop, evacuate. YOUR PEOPLE SIMPLY CAN'T AFFORD TO DEAL WITH WEAPONS WITH A CALIBER OF MORE THAN 20MM! They are a rabble, they have no formal military training. There is also no perfect command and logistics system, and it is impossible to confront the army! Ribbentrop looked at the hesitant Mussolini and could not care about anything else, the blackshirts failed when they failed, but the elite of the German Army under Spudent could not die in Italy in vain! To Ribbentrop's surprise, while the two were still struggling with whether to fight or not, Tycho's saber had already slashed at the Blackshirts in Bologna and Ferrara!

While the leaders of the Blackshirts were still putting the finishing touches on their brains, and while the propagandists were shouting for the Partisans to take up arms and march to Rome, Bardoglio's troops were already attacking the Blackshirts' assembly sites in battalions. In the face of such a scattered enemy that has not yet been fully gathered, it is naturally the best way to deal with it, and if the other party really controls the city and threatens the citizens, it will be much more troublesome, and one of the marines happened to rush to a private farm stationed 30 kilometers northeast of Bologna, which was the temporary hiding place of Spudent and his men.

"Damn, didn't you say that the government forces would not intervene?" Student cursed as he reported the ticket to the blackshirt leader who had been in charge of liaison the other day. "But that damn guy knows to give us enough cars!" In the face of the 3rd Assault Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Brigade of the Italian Marine Corps in the distance, Student had no choice but to repel this wave of attack before evacuating, after all, they brought a lot of things this time, including several radios, codebooks, and even 2 puzzle machines. Some of these things need to be destroyed. And now the situation is not clear, he doesn't know if this is a private action of a certain army, or a premeditated action of the government, so he also needs to take a look at it now!

The 3rd Assault Battalion of the Italian Marine Corps, which had been fighting junglers all the way, had already wiped out no less than two groups of Blackshirts along the way, and while a company was drawn to clean up the battlefield and collect weapons and place prisoners, they learned from the already small leader that there was a very elite Blackshirt stationed here, and with the intention of catching a big fish, this assault battalion launched an attack on the manor!

"It's definitely the army!" The hapless Italian finally realizes the difference between a monster and a quest boss! The machine guns and mortars deployed in the makeshift bunkers instantly gave the opponent a taste of what it means to be a rain of bullets! The fierce battle of protection has been directly upgraded from the Franco-Prussian War level to the 1st Battle level! (The firepower of the Blackshirts is weak, and the assault battalions naturally do not use heavy firepower, and even some surrender without a fight, which is naturally not fierce.) The Germans easily divided the opposing attack formation with crossfire, and then the mortars began to clear the divided Italian paratroopers one by one, and for a while, the sound of machine gun fire and the scream of shells like tearing strips of cloth instantly resounded throughout the battlefield, and the locust-like bullets swept almost against the ground, and the shrapnel from the grenade explosion bloomed one after another on the empty field, completely disintegrating the first wave of the Italian offensive in just a few minutes, and at this time Spudent was far from doing his best.

However, after all, it was Italy's elite troops, which did not break up after being hit by sudden and strong firepower, but immediately turned into a defensive state, and the troops immediately dispersed and relied on the terrain and construction vehicles to build a position, and at the same time, the attached 82MM mortars also began to clean up the opponent's firepower points exposed in the first wave, of course, the most important thing is to immediately report to the headquarters and ask for more troops to come to support. "We caught a big fish." The Italian commander of the front said this in a telegram.

After repelling the Italian attack, Steudent did not delay and immediately began to prepare for a retreat, and the non-combatants withdrew first under the cover of two platoons with classified information and all the documents that had not had time to be destroyed. THE 50MM CANNON BROUGHT BY THE WASTE EFFORT WAS OBVIOUSLY INCONVENIENT TO TAKE WITH HIM, AND STUD THOUGHT ABOUT WHETHER TO DESTROY THESE HEAVY THINGS FIRST. And it was at this moment that the roar of the engine, coming from a distance, made him realize how lucky he was to leave these heavy things behind. Of course, this also meant that it was difficult for the second wave to evacuate quickly by road, and the other side came with a mechanized infantry. And this unit does not seem to appear in the battle sequence of the Italian marines. "Prepare for battle, prepare for a breakthrough at night!" Student ordered.

"THE OTHER SIDE HAS AT LEAST 120MM CALIBER MORTARS AND A LOT OF MACHINE GUN FIRE, BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A TEMPORARY STRONGHOLD AND HAS NOT BEEN REINFORCED. There may be anti-armor weapons. "A company commander of an assault battalion reports to Captain Adam of the lightly armored battalion." Damn the guys. "Adam cursed, but he was not in a hurry, as long as the opponent did not have a medium-caliber howitzer, then he would have an absolute advantage in firepower." ORDERED 150MM HEAVY MORTARS AND 75MM HOWITZERS TO PREPARE TO BUILD POSITIONS. DIRECT FIRE SUPPORT IS PROVIDED BY ALL ARMORED VEHICLES ARMED WITH 30MM RAPID-FIRE GUNS. ”

Since the other side has not strengthened the position, it means that the level of bunker defense will not be very high, so it is enough to deal with it with 30MM machine guns, self-propelled howitzers and mortars, which are thin-skinned and filled with flammable and explosive materials, it is better to stay behind, and Captain Adam brought only 2 infantry companies and 1 firepower company plus a few temporarily attached self-propelled mortars, in terms of numbers, he is not advantageous, and he can have 120MM heavy mortars at least to strengthen the firepower of the battalion. And there are a large number of machine guns, and a machine gun group is at least a squad, if you count it like this, it is very likely that the opponent will have hundreds of people larger!

Faced with such an opponent, Adam also had to be cautious, on the one hand, he immediately reported to his superiors, and on the other hand, he also wanted to touch this opponent to see who he was! And some of the tactics he learned in Huaxia can finally be tested in actual combat.
