Wooden handle grenade! When Amor saw the thing under his feet, he was immediately surprised. Almost without any hesitation, he bent down, picked up the grenade and threw it up.

There is no doubt that this grenade was definitely thrown from above. Now, he can only throw it back as quickly as possible!

In the dazzling sunshine, amor saw that the grenade flew up the hillside with a beautiful arc and could become an infantry in the armored division. His physical quality was good. His actions in the face of danger released his potential.

"Gu Lulu..." the grenade did fly up, but when it fell on the hillside, it rolled down again!

Damn it! Amor had no time to throw it out for the second time. As soon as he turned around and hid behind a stone, there was a loud bang.

Countless pieces flew over his head. At this moment, he thought he was going to die in battle.

Fortunately, he was unharmed!

At the same time, the explosion also means the arrival of fierce battle!

Amor put his rifle on the stone and began to aim in the direction of the top of the mountain, ready to fire.

"Dada dada." At this time, just above their heads, the sound of machine guns had sounded. With the sound of guns, the Italian Army climbing up the hillside fell down in an instant.

Of course, not everyone was shot down by bullets. Some people slipped and fell down after hearing the gunshot. Some people also wanted to find something to cover nearby.

In short, the shooting sound from the top of the hillside made the Italian Army quite nervous.

Amor couldn't look up. He touched his rifle and waited until the other party's gunfire stopped before finally sticking out his head and shooting upward.

Of course, it's meaningless. Most of these shooting methods have to fly. Moreover, even if they can't fly and attack upward, they don't have much combat effectiveness.

Because the rifles they use are not powerful enough.

In this era, the rifles of various countries are made according to their own national standards. Germany uses 7.92mm caliber, Britain uses 7.7mm caliber, while Italy uses 6.5mm caliber.

Yes, the calibre of Italian rifles is almost smaller than others, which leads to a serious lack of power of their rifles. For example, the effective range of their rifles is only 300 meters, and now it is even more discounted to attack upward.

Even Germany chose 6.8mm when choosing the caliber of the new generation, while the caliber of 6.5mm used by Italy is too small.

They were pressed on the hillside and did not dare to rush up, and below, general Messe also blackened his face.

Like his guess, the French border guards set up an ambush position on the top of the mountain. If not expected, anti tank mines must also be laid on the main traffic roads of the mountain pass.

However, the gunfire on the top of the mountain was not fierce, which showed that the other party didn't have many hands at all. However, his own troops were suppressed and didn't dare to rush up!

If it was replaced by the German army, it would rush straight up!

"Retreat first, and the artillery will launch an artillery attack on the enemy position on the top of the mountain." Major general Massey gave orders.

Now, even if he drives in the back, these infantry can't risk their lives to rush up. Anyway, there are artillery behind their own side. Blow the other side first, and then charge!

Half an hour later, the artillery of the division was finally ready.

This can't blame the artillery. Although they are armored divisions, the main L3 tanks only have a speed of 20 kilometers per hour. At the same time, they don't have any self-propelled guns. They are all towed guns.

When these guns were unloaded from cars and deployed, they wasted a long time, calculating the firing data and so on. Half an hour was not long.

"Boom!" The 105mm field gun fired its own shells at the top of the mountain opposite.

The 1913 type 105mm field gun was jointly developed by Ansaldo and Schneider. It is produced in Italy and France, and the output is considerable. This is also the most common field gun in the Italian army.

Unfortunately, it has a history of more than 30 years and belongs to a master class artillery. Look at the tires on both sides of it, or solid tires. In fact, it is just a piece of rubber. There are thick iron wheels inside. At the same time, its gun tail is also single split foot.

Now, most of the guns are spread on both sides with double legs and two legs, so that the guns can be easily fixed when shooting. At the same time, it is also easy to change the firing angle.

However, the Italian artillery still adheres to the tradition, which is also related to the Italian terrain. If it is said that the advantage of single foot, it is convenient for marching and conversion.

With the roar, a smoke filled the muzzle, and the 105mm shell fell on the hillside. If the Italian army did not retreat just before the firing, it would definitely fall on them!

"Raise the elevation by one degree!" The gunner shouted loudly. Just now he knew that the accuracy would not be too high, so the first shot was just a test shot.

The second shot, of course, will be more accurate!

"Boom!" The 105mm shell, with the hope of the Italian artillery, flew over. This time, as expected, it flew over the top of the mountain and hit the back hillside.

Far bomb!

"Reduce the elevation by three points and adjust one dense level to the right!" The gunner continued to command in an orderly manner.

Is it that easy to hit? If you think it's easy to fire, you command! At this time, the gunner was not discouraged at all, and no one in the whole Italian artillery could make the first hit.

"Boom!" Finally, the third shell finally hit the top of the mountain! The firing data is correct!

"Artillery regiment, attention, three rounds!" Cried the gunner. At this time, he is extremely proud. He is the artillery commander of the test firing. In other words, his technology is the first in the whole artillery regiment. Now, he has tried all kinds of data. For other field guns, he can fire by fine tuning according to his firing data!

"Boom, boom!" On the artillery position, there was a deafening sound of fire, and black smoke came out of the muzzle. The whole artillery position was filled with gunsmoke.

The shells of 105 mm field guns flew towards the opposite mountain top. At least 50% of the shells hit! Suddenly, there was a lot of excitement, and the stones and dust that kept rising showed that the French people above must be suffering.

Finally, the voice subsided. There was no movement on the top of the mountain. Holding a telescope, Messe looked at the situation on the top of the mountain, and then gave an order: "infantry, rush up!"
