Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    October 24, 1917, morning.

    Preparations for the attack have been made!

    6:00.

    The German 2nd Army, which was secretly assembled in the Villach area, suddenly launched an artillery attack on the Italian army with 1,922 artillery pieces and mortars, and 1,000 poison gas applicators!

    The Battle of Caporetto breaks out!

    The shells fell densely towards the Italians with a crazy momentum. There were explosions, smoke and blood everywhere, and the Italians' screams of terror could be heard everywhere.

    A large number of poison gas bombs were ruthlessly thrown at the enemy's position. For a moment, bursts of yellow smoke floated along with the gunpowder smoke on the position

    This is smoke that can kill people. This is the most terrifying weapon on the battlefield

    Human civilization is becoming more and more advanced, and humans are inventing more and more new weapons. At the end of every war, the number of people who die is completely unimaginable in the era of cold weapons.

    Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of casualties are no longer surprising given the endless stream of new weapons flooding the battlefield.  Those veterans who have survived countless wars can still bear it silently, but those recruits who have just stepped onto the battlefield for the first time can easily collapse under such an attack

    Some of them were shouting, some were crying, and some were even insane

    WarThis is the most cruel and helpless war

    The 3,000 Italian artillery pieces and mortars were also fighting back desperately, but their number was almost three times ahead of the German Italian artillery.  The strength of the counterattack sounds so weak

    The French don¡¯t know how to fight, and the Italians don¡¯t want to fight.  They like to enjoy themselves and hate war.  Their soldiers are unwilling to die, and their officers only talk.  The combat effectiveness of such officers and soldiers combined can be imagined.

    Six hours, the bombardment lasted for six full hours!  What kind of bombing intensity is this?  What a terrible scene is this?

    After six hours of artillery preparations, several German and Austrian assault groups launched a large-scale attack on Plezzo and Tormino!

    In human history, the largest mountain battle since the invention of thermal weapons has begun

    The officers and soldiers of the Skeleton Commando and the German 62nd Infantry Regiment also endured six hours of shelling. They felt that their ears were going to be deafened.

    When the order to attack was given, everyone breathed a sigh of relief Although charging was risky.  But in the eyes of the commando members, it is much better than enduring the terrible sound of gunfire

    Twelve hundred Skeleton Commandos launched an attack on an entire Italian division in Tolmezzo!

    Two A7V tanks broke out at the front and drove slowly towards the enemy's position.  Four Mark 1 tanks closely accompany the main combat weapons of the commando team.

    Trucks with machine guns also began to move forward slowly A large number of commandos also appeared around these mechanized equipment

    The 62nd Infantry Regiment had never seen an attack method before Colonel Stodra held the telescope in his hand and stared straight ahead. He wanted to see with his own eyes how the Skeleton Commandos defeated the enemy.  .

    And the first thing that caught his eye was the huge skull battle flag!

    The officers and soldiers of the Italian 33rd Infantry Division seemed to have not yet awakened from the shelling just now.  Most of them still held their heads and hid in their positions without daring to move. Only a few Italian soldiers bravely raised their heads

    They discovered a terrible scene:

    The Germans have begun to attack!

    "Attacked. Attacked! The enemy attacked!"

    ¡°My God, they have tanks!¡±

    "Damn it. Tank, it's a tank!"

    Chaotic shouts rang out on the Italian position, the soldiers were terrified, and the officers simply forgot their duty to command the troops to resist.

    Major General Cross, the commander of the 33rd Infantry Division, has not forgotten what he should do.

    He promised in front of General Cadorna that even if the enemy came with a few divisions, he would be able to hold on to the Tolmezzo area for several months!

    He issued a death order to several of his regiment commanders. They must defend this place at all costs and not allow the enemy to move forward.

    Under such urging, Tolmezzo¡¯s Italian army finally became somewhat presentable

    They picked up weapons in a mess.  Shooting began in no order.  The officers didn't know what orders to give.Whatever the soldiers are willing to do, let them do it

    Disorganized gunshots began to ring out

    It¡¯s okay that the Italians didn¡¯t fight back, but when they did, the Skeleton Commandos opened fire in retaliation!

    The 57mm artillery on the A7V tank was the first to speak. The two artillery shells told the Italians on the opposite side: The shelling is not over yet

    Then, the Maxim heavy machine gun began to spit out tongues of fire, desperately suppressing the enemy's firepower.

    The shells roared and fell in front of the enemy's position.  Although it caused no casualties, it caused the Italians to become confused again.

    Damn it, the Germans are still firing!  The Germans are still firing!

    Then came the dense bullets from the Maxim heavy machine guns, flying in clusters.  Countless tongues of fire weave the most dazzling "beauty" in the air

    Then, a large number of trucks appeared, and the Maxim heavy machine guns and Madsen light machine guns mounted on them opened fire at the same time, which made the already chaotic Italians even more demoralized.

    Those officers were the first to escape

    They didn¡¯t even give orders to their subordinates. They hurriedly climbed out of their positions and fled toward the rear in a hurry The officers ran away, so what were the soldiers doing staying in their positions?

    So, a large number of Italian soldiers threw away their weapons and followed the footsteps of their commanders

    Those who had no time to escape simply sat down in the position and raised their hands Some people shouted loudly: "Hey, Korlac, what are you doing? Damn it, put down your gun, like me  Put your hands up!"

    "Polly, Polly, stop your machine guns quickly, otherwise the Germans will be provoked and kill us!"

    The Italian soldiers who originally wanted to continue fighting finally gave up their last illusion of fighting to the end after hearing the calls of these comrades

    The German soldiers rushed to their positions one after another. The Italian soldiers who surrendered did not say a word and sat there politely.

    Now, they have to think about their future.  Was there delicious bread and butter in a prisoner of war camp?  This must be made clear, otherwise, they will raise the most serious protests to the Germans or those in the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

    There must be necessary physical activities, otherwise people will gain weight You have to know that you have to exercise after eating, such as playing a game of football or something Ah, when it comes to football, you have to let  The Germans give us more football

    ¡°What would the German soldiers think if they knew what was going on in the minds of the surrendering Italians?

    35 minutes!

    Wang Weiyi looked at the time. Only 35 minutes had passed since he ordered the attack, and the enemy's forward positions had completely collapsed!

    ¡°One member of the Skeleton Commandos was killed and two were injured.  The two injured men were very unfortunate. They rushed too hard and fell into a large crater created by the shell

    Wang Weiyi did not regard this attack as a battle.

    There is indeed nothing worth showing off. This offensive battle is the easiest battle since the establishment of the Skeleton Commando. Many people have not even broken a sweat

    A thousand prisoners were taken, it calmed down and almost every commando took a prisoner.

    Not many Italians died, and it¡¯s no wonder that many of them had their guns uncocked.

    "Italiansthis is the Italians" Rommel snorted disdainfully through his nose.

    From the time he participated in the first battle until now, he has never seen such an incompetent army.

    Even if they can resist a little, the Skeleton Commandos will not occupy this place so easily.

    Never trust the Italian army on the battlefieldthe only thing they can bring to others is one hilarious joke after another

    "What should we do now, Colonel?" Manstein, who was also full of contempt for the Italians, came to Wang Weiyi's side.

    "Assault, continue the assault!" Wang Weiyi's order was issued without any hesitation: "Before dark today, assault to Ponosa. From here to Ponosa, there are still two enemy lines of defense. After ordering Guderian to replenish fuel  , don¡¯t allow any pause to continue the attack!¡±

    "Yes, Colonel!"

    "Order Colonel Stodela's 62nd Infantry Regiment to take over the existing positions immediately!"

    "Yes, Colonel, what to do with these prisoners?"

    ¡°Hell, I don¡¯t have any extraWe have troops to guard them and let them stay here until our people arrive at the position.  "

    "Won't they run away, Colonel?"

    "Escape? Even if you give them a truck now, they won't escape Model, lead your people and set off immediately, don't wait there Four knives,  What are you doing there? The Italians won't run away. Damn it, you are a second lieutenant now, not an ordinary soldier. Leave it alone, leave it alone!"

    Colonel Ernst Brahm¡¯s voice kept ringing, urging each member of the Skeleton Commando to work hard to create their own merits in Italy.
