In the first round, the defenders lost.

It can be said that the Soviets were still very smart. Major general aresca was ready to eat all the Soviet tank troops that suddenly rushed out. As a result, the other party actually retracted at the critical time!

This contraction makes our own side waste this good opportunity. If the two sides are on the anus just now, our own side must have lost. After all, our tanks can't withstand the attack of 76mm tank guns. However, the Soviets will be even worse and they will be wiped out.

Under the eyes of those defenders, destroy their tank troops. This scene is very conquering. Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity now.

The other party retracted.

At the same time, major general aresca did not continue to push the tanks, and the tank troops stopped outside the enemy's fire range.

"General, let's work hard and rush in!" The voice of the tank commander in front came from the radio: "we can break through the defense line."

"No, the other side is already on guard. We have to wait for our infantry to arrive." Major general aresca is very cautious.

Their tank troops came all the way and left their infantry dozens of kilometers behind.

Now the German army has been completely motorized. Even the infantry division is equipped with a large number of cars. They can travel on the land of the Soviet Union without two legs. They can transfer by car.

The Italian army is different.

Italy's industrial level is still not as good as that of Germany, but Italy's automobile industry is still good. In the 1930s, Italy's Fiat cars were almost always exported. Even the French army praised Fiat's trucks.

No matter the ordinary infantry division, at least the current armored group is equipped with enough cars. They are the latest Fiat 262, with enough traction to pull tanks.

However, their fuel supply did not keep up. After concentrating all the fuel to the tanks, the infantry had to wait for fuel in the back to continue to follow up, which was a short distance.

Major general aresca is quite shrewd. When he studied in Berlin, he understood this truth. In the field, the charging of tank clusters is the most effective. However, if it is to attack the city and leave the tanks protected by infantry, it is extremely fragile.

And now, even if his tanks can hit the city, he can't stop the other party's breakthrough because he lacks enough infantry.

In this way, the Italian army did not move forward and stayed outside the city. The two sides faced off temporarily.

At this time, the commanders of both sides finally found out the details of each other.

"Is the Italian Army coming?" Next to the railway station in the city, Lukin temporarily set up his own headquarters: "isn't the combat effectiveness of the Italian army always very weak? How did you become so strong this time? "

The first confrontation between the two sides ended in a hurry. When he learned that his tank troops had not fired a shot, he was forced back. Lu Jin knew that he had met a difficult opponent.

"Yes, since the Germans took control of Italy, the combat effectiveness of the Italian army has increased." His aide said: "fortunately, we found a lot of 45mm guns in the Arsenal here. It should be no problem to deal with these tanks in Italy."

In World War II, German anti tank guns were famous, such as pak38 and pak40. In contrast, the Soviet Union was not very famous.

In fact, the Soviet Union also had anti tank guns. The 45mm gun almost ran through World War II. This kind of gun looked very small and almost like a toy, and its penetration depth was just to deal with the Panther 2 with thin skin and big stuffing.

The 45mm gun is versatile. It is not only used in infantry positions, but also shines in street battles. It can pull out fire points and even fire on the roof to penetrate the top armor of tanks.

With these guns, their confidence in defense is greatly increased, especially in the face of the Italian army.

"Continue to dig fortifications and push the newly established troops to the front line." Lukin thought for a while and continued: "arrange the supervision team in the back. Whoever dares to retreat, fire!"

Lu Jin was not at ease with those defeated soldiers. If they were lax in the battle, it would bring great problems to their own defense. Now it is a special time, so we have to use special means.

Anyway, what Lukin has done here has been enough to shoot him several times. Now he is not afraid of anything. In order to protect shepetovka, he dares to do anything.

Now, the other side didn't attack immediately, which is also good news for Lukin. Taking this opportunity, he can reorganize the troops properly.

At the same time, the Italian Army outside was not idle.

It's time to eat. Soon, the smell of noodles wafted from their positions.

When it was dark, Fiat cars started, and the infantry finally arrived!

In the woods outside the city, a tent was temporarily set up. Major general aresca was holding a stainless steel rice basin in his left hand and a fork in his right hand. He was sucking noodles. Several infantry commanders came in.

"General, we finally arrived. When will we launch the attack?" Asked Colonel DeRisi.

"Don't worry. Let our soldiers eat and rest first. Come on, you each have a noodle." Major general aresca said and asked the adjutant to prepare tableware for them.

Although he is a senior commander, he doesn't engage in extravagance in war. He doesn't even have red wine, only noodles.

Several people looked at each other and ate a basin. When they finished eating and wiped their mouths, major general aresca finally spoke: "in the past, we have always been called the noodle army, saying that our combat effectiveness is the worst. Tonight, let them see the strong combat effectiveness of our Italian army. We sneaked attacks at night and directly hit the city!"

"But they have tanks and anti tank guns around them." Colonel DeRisi said, "they will certainly guard against us."

Looking at the dazed expression of his men, major general aresca smiled: "I didn't say I wanted to break through the current defense line. Let's go around to the east of the city and drive into the city from the East. What do you think? "

Now, the two sides are facing each other in the northwest of the city. The defensive line is only deployed in the northwest and West. Their hastily constructed defense line can not be fully arranged, but can only be arranged by picking the most important ones.

Now, their East is almost undefended. Their own side makes a circle and rushes in from the East, taking them by surprise!

The commanders present all smiled. After returning from studying in Germany, major general aresca's command level has been greatly improved.
