    "Dong, dong, dong!" The 18 75mm mountain guns of the Italian Army's 89th Infantry Division poured shells crazily onto the sea at the maximum rate of fire.  Although the soldiers of the Italian Army have relatively weak combat effectiveness, thanks to the rigorous training of instructors from Germany, these artillery units have exerted great combat effectiveness!  The 75mm mountain gun is not very powerful, but it is a fatal threat to unarmored landing craft!

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The shells that fell one after another exploded on the sea, splashing water columns.  The Chinese Marine Corps soldiers who rushed to the coast in landing craft lay down on the landing craft one by one to avoid the rain of bullets from the shore.  At this time, they are the most helpless. Once the landing craft is hit, they will destroy the ship and kill everyone!

    "Boom!" A landing craft was hit by a 75mm shell. In an instant, the entire landing craft was torn into pieces in the explosion!  Even the soldiers on the landing craft suffered heavy casualties and fell into the water!  The Marines on the landing craft were fully armed at the moment, carrying a load of more than 20 kilograms!  Even if you are not killed by the cannonball, if you cannot throw away your equipment in time after falling into the water, you will be drowned alive!  Under normal circumstances, once the landing craft is blown up, the possibility of the soldiers on it surviving is very small!

    During the shelling of the Italian Army, landing craft were constantly blown up. The battalion of the 8th Division of the Chinese Marine Corps, which launched the landing operation, suffered heavy losses!  However, the warships of the Chinese Navy¡¯s 33rd Task Force on the sea are not just decorations!  When the artillery of the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army opened fire, the Chinese warships on the navy immediately adjusted the target of the bombardment and fired fiercely at the artillery of the Italian Army!

    Less than five minutes.  The artillery of the Italian Army's 89th Infantry Division was completely lost in the fierce shelling.  At this time, the landing craft of the Chinese Marine Corps soldiers also washed ashore!

    One by one, the Marines jumped off the landing craft, waded through knee-deep water, and charged towards the shore!

    "Ta-ta-ta!" The machine gunner set up the machine gun on the bow of the landing craft and fired towards the shore.  Provide covering fire for the landing Marines!

    The destroyers of the Navy¡¯s 33rd Task Force also drove directly to less than two kilometers from the shore and fired violently at the Italian Army¡¯s positions with rapid-fire cannons.  The dense artillery shells plowed directly through the position of the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army, causing heavy losses to the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army!  Although the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army also built many defensive positions on the shore, such as bunkers and other fixed firepower points!  but.  Under the intensive firepower attack of the Chinese Navy, these fixed firepower points were blown up to the sky one by one, and they did not play much role at all!

    ¡°Buzz!¡± There was the sound of a large swarm of wasps flying across the sky!  Fighters taking off from the two aircraft carriers of Task Force 32 arrived on the battlefield!  All those coming were H9C Canghu dive bombers, 24 in each group!  There are two 500kg heavy aerial bombs hanging under the belly of each aircraft!  When dealing with fixed targets on land, dive bombers have a much higher hit rate than level bombers!

    These ¡®Canghu¡¯ dive bombers were hovering over the battlefield.  Once you discover the Italian Army's firepower points or artillery positions, you will immediately roar down and drop the bombs under the belly of the aircraft to destroy the Italian Army's resistance!

    The Italian Army¡¯s troops are basically newly formed troops!  Although many of the soldiers were veterans of the last world war.  However, in the last world war, they were defeated by the Chinese Army.  It has long left a shadow on the Chinese army.  This time they were attacked violently again, and it was a trinity attack by sea, land and air. These Italian army soldiers were simply unable to resist.  At the same time, morale is also plummeting!

    At 6:40, a battalion of the 8th Chinese Marine Division broke through the Italian Army¡¯s 89th Infantry Division¡¯s defense line on the coast and established a beachhead.  And with the support of warships at sea and aircraft in the sky, they launched an attack on the deep positions of the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army!  The follow-up troops of the 8th Marine Division of the Chinese Marine Corps can land!  It is simply unrealistic to rely on just one battalion to defeat an infantry division of the Italian Army and capture Naples!

    6:45.  A squadron of attack aircraft from the Chinese Army Aviation Corps arrived on the battlefield and began to provide fire support to the Marine Corps!  The attack aircraft is a main model of the Chinese Army Aviation Force, specially designed to provide air fire support to the Army troops!  The attack aircraft currently equipped by the Chinese Army Aviation Force is the Q5 "Night Owl" attack aircraft. The model has changed, but the code name is still the same!

    Q5 ¡®Night Owl¡¯ attack aircraft.  It is based on the Air Force's F10 "Lightning" heavy-duty fighter jet and has a similar appearance.?It uses two engines to enhance the power and take-off weight of the fighter aircraft.  However, the F10 'Lightning' heavy fighter is mainly designed to increase range and provide protection for long-range bombers.  The Q5 ¡®Night Owl¡¯ attack aircraft is designed to increase the bomb load and airborne time!  The Q5 Night Owl attack aircraft has a top speed of 460 kilometers per hour and a flight time of 4 hours.  The armament is a 37mm aviation cannon, which can attack tanks and other armored targets!  Although the armor of the tank is thick, if a kilogram is fired from the air, the 37mm cannon is enough to penetrate the top armor of the tank!  In addition, the Q5 "Night Owl" attack aircraft also has four 12.7mm aviation machine guns, which are deployed on two wings respectively, with 1,000 rounds of ammunition!  Bombs weighing up to one ton can also be carried inside the belly and on the external pylons!  This makes the Q5'Night Owl' attack aircraft very powerful!  It can play an extremely powerful role in supporting the army, especially when the armored forces attack!

    After a squadron of 12 Q5 "Night Owl" attack aircraft arrived on the battlefield, they dealt an even more severe blow to the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army!  These attack aircraft hovered in the sky, sometimes strafing targets on the ground, and sometimes dropping bombs, as if they could not use up all the shells, bullets or bombs mentioned!  Directly caused the collapse of the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army!

    "General, more than half of the two regiments on the front line have suffered casualties. The Chinese attack was too fierce! Many of our soldiers were killed and wounded by their planes!" said Xiang Giowa, chief of staff of the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army.  Brigadier General Ni Mesai reported!

    "Damn it! Order the frontline troops to withdraw and defend the city!" Brigadier General Giovanni Messe said expressionlessly!  In this war, Brigadier General Giovanni Messe made a mistake, that is, he did not blow up the port of Naples in time, so that the main force of the subsequent Chinese Army's 20th Group Army could use the port facilities to quickly land.  Italy!  This directly led to the rapid defeat of the Italian Army in this war!

    When the news that Naples was attacked by Chinese troops was sent back to Rome, neither King Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy nor Prime Minister Mussoniri had gotten up yet!  When Italian Army Chief of Staff Badoglio sent someone to report to them, both of them were shocked!  Prime Minister Mussonili rushed to the palace immediately.

    "General Bardoglio, I don't care what method you use, you must defend Naples and drive the Chinese into the sea! We can't let them land in Italy! Otherwise, we will be finished!" Vittorio Emma in pajamas  Nuele III roared!

    "Your Majesty the King! The Army will do its best! However, Naples is not our focus. We only have one infantry division there! Brigadier General Giovanni Messer, the commander of the division, reported that the Chinese offensive was very fierce and they dispatched  Battleships and Air Force fighter planes! The 89th Infantry Division has now suffered heavy losses! Without reinforcements, they will not be able to hold Naples!" General Badoglio said!

    "Then send reinforcements to them! We have an army of millions and send two armies of reinforcements to Naples!" Vittorio Emanuele III said impatiently!  Obviously, he has been confused by the news that the Chinese army has landed in Naples!

    "Yes, Your Majesty! The General Staff has ordered nearby troops to rush to Naples for reinforcements! However, we need time!" General Badoglio said!  In fact, there is only one army around Naples, which is only 50,000 people!  The troops closest to Naples would not be able to arrive until the afternoon.  And can the 89th Infantry Division of the Italian Army hold on until the afternoon?  At least Admiral Badoglio has no hope!

    "Your Excellency, Chief of the General Staff! We must stop the Chinese attack as much as possible! If we cannot drive them into the sea, we must block them in southern Italy and not allow them to enter the hinterland of Italy!" said Prime Minister Mussolini!

    "Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister! The General Staff has begun to dispatch reinforcements! We plan to dispatch an armored division there! In addition, we lack anti-tank weapons. We hope that the government can contact Germany and let them support us with a group of advanced anti-tank weapons.  Gun!" Admiral Badoglio said!

    "Okay, the government will contact Germany!" Prime Minister Mussolini said!  The Italian Army's armor strength construction is almost terrifying!  The two armored divisions of the Army were also built using tanks and armored vehicles eliminated by the German Army!  As for anti-tank guns, they are just outdated weapons!

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the task of defending Italy is entrusted to you! I will go to Berlin in person to ask for help from His Majesty the Kaiser!" King Vittorio Emanuele III, the King of Italy, suddenly said!
