    "Dear German Commander, please entrust this letter to my wife and I will express my deepest respect for you. Your enemy Diego."

    Wang Weiyi sighed: "Find someone to take Colonel Diego's letter back, and please give the Colonel's body a good burial."

    Although the combat effectiveness of the Italian army is ridiculous, Colonel Diego is undoubtedly worthy of respect from a personal perspective.

    Udine fell into the hands of the Skeleton Commandos.

    Since the Battle of Caporetto, the Skeleton Commandos have never had such an easy time fighting like this.  They encountered little serious resistance.

    Perhaps the most ¡°tenacious¡± one was in Udine.  But in fact, they didn't put in much effort.

    About two thousand prisoners were captured, and the members of the Skeleton Commandos didn't even bother to chase the Italian soldiers who fled.

    But there is no prisoner of war camp that big to house so many prisoners.

    The Italians in Udine also gradually calmed down from the initial panic. They found that the Germans who entered here were not as vicious as they imagined.

    They even had a strong curiosity about the huge tanks

    The capture of Udine is not just a simple battle for a city, but a direct threat to the flanks of the Italian army!

    General Cadorna, the commander-in-chief of the Italian army, was worried that his army would be completely annihilated, so he issued an order to retreat on October 27.

    At this time, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's 10th Army attacked, and the 11th Army also launched an attack subsequently, forcing the Italian Garni Group and the 4th Army to retreat.

    As a result, the Italian army began to completely retreat on a front of more than 3,000 kilometers. The Italian army command lost its ability to command the troops, and the soldiers threw away their weapons, artillery and military supplies and fled in all directions.

    The first phase of the Battle of Caporetto is over.

    During this stage, the German-Austrian Allied Forces achieved a brilliant victory, and there was only one shining star among them:

    Skeleton Commando!

    This magical team captured Tolmezzo and Udine in succession. This was a rapid advance that no one could have guessed before the battle began.

    Now, it's General von Bello's turn to have a headache.

    ¡°Have he ever promised the Skeleton Baron that if he can capture Udine, he must find a way to win the Grand Iron Cross for him in front of His Majesty the Emperor?

    General von Bello just said casually that the task of attacking Tolmezzo was already very difficult, and capturing Udine was simply impossible.  Who would have thought that the magical Skeleton Baron actually accomplished both tasks brilliantly!

    What a pride of Germany!

    But after General von Bello was so excited, he had to become embarrassed again. How could he fulfill his promise?  Does a colonel receive the Grand Iron Cross?  This is simply not possible.

    But the promise made by a general must be fulfilled

    Wang Weiyi would not have thought that General von Bello had this idea. What he has to do now is how to strengthen Udine's defense.  Once the German-Austrian Allied Forces switch from offense to defense, this place will become a very important strategic location.

    He had ordered General Stodella to transport all the Italian supplies captured in Tolmezzo to Udine and mobilized all trucks.  These supplies are enough for them to stay here for a long time.

    We have to thank the Italians for this

    The positions previously dug by the Italians are being re-reinforced. On the frontal battlefield, Wang Weiyi has arranged a large number of machine guns, and their density has reached a terrifying level.

    Once the enemy attacks, Udine will become their nightmare

    A large number of mortars are also in place, and the roaring shells will make the enemy regret very much why they launched the attack.  And all the tanks have entered their combat positions, just waiting to show off their power when the war starts in the future.

    Arranged in the front-line position, Wang Weiyi unexpectedly chose Second Lieutenant Model.

    It¡¯s time for ¡°Iron Wall¡± Model to show his majesty.

    Once all supplies are delivered, the 62nd Infantry Regiment commanded by Colonel Stodra will also be deployed in the defense of Udine.

    ¡°It¡¯s not enough to rely solely on the 1,200 members of the Skeleton Commandos.

    What Wang Weiyi has to do is to exchange for the greatest victory with the smallest casualties.

    His subordinates were a little strange. Judging from Colonel Ernst's behavior, they seemed to have expected that a war was about to break out in Udine.war

    God knows why Colonel Ernst always knew what was going to happen in the war in advance.

    Wang Weiyi even specially hired a large number of Udine locals to join in the renovation of the fortifications. He wanted to build Udine into an iron wall.

    Most of those prisoners of war were sent to prisoner of war camps in the rear. Since the outbreak of the Battle of Caporetto, the German and Austrian armies have transferred tens of thousands of prisoners, but a commando team of more than a thousand people was able to capture so many  Prisoners are a bit rare

    Some Italian soldiers stayed in Udine out of necessity, including Lieutenant Colonel Stino

    The lieutenant colonel did not have time to run away, and he also became a prisoner of the Germans.  However, when it came time to send him to a prisoner of war camp in the rear, Lieutenant Colonel Stino refused the request.

    He met the legendary skeleton baron Ernst Brahm. He told the baron that he begged to stay in Udine. In addition to wanting to accompany Colonel Diego who committed suicide here, he also wanted to take care of the wounded.

    During the Battle of Udine, the intense German shelling injured many Italian soldiers. Some were so seriously injured that they could not be sent to the rear, so they were forced to stay in Udine.  And Lieutenant Colonel Stino didn't want these soldiers to die like this.

    Wang Weiyi was a little surprised that Lieutenant Colonel Stino was actually an outstanding student in medical school. It was only by chance that he entered the army and became a lieutenant colonel.

    After deep thought, Wang Weiyi agreed to the lieutenant colonel¡¯s request

    "Compared to the army, I prefer to be a doctor." After examining a wounded soldier, Lieutenant Colonel Stino told his defeated enemy Lieutenant Colonel Ernst Brahm: "War makes people bleed and die.  Doctors are there to save lives. They are two completely different professions, but I have done both professions now. "

    To be honest, although the behavior of these Italians on the battlefield was very ridiculous, when the smoke of the war cleared, some of their words were quite thought-provoking.

    Wang Weiyi nodded in agreement: "There are many things you don't want to do, but you have to do them. Those things you like to do, you can only put aside helplessly. Lieutenant Colonel Stino, please forgive me for being direct. I  I don¡¯t think you¡¯re a good soldier, but maybe you could try to be a good doctor.¡±

    "I agree." Stino was not angry at all because of the other party's "rudeness": "The war will end sooner or later, right? What else can the soldiers do at that time? Colonel, actually I have thought about it a long time ago,  Regardless of whether Italy wins or loses this war, I will take off this uniform and do what I love. What about you, Colonel? Do you love your profession? Have you loved being a soldier from the beginning?  "

    Wang Weiyi didn't know how to answer for a moment, and Stino continued: "I have heard your name countless times. You are the birthplace of miracles on the battlefield. I have always been curious before, are you born a soldier?  Or do you have other hobbies?¡±

    "I don't know." Wang Weiyi told him frankly: "I have asked myself this question many times, but I have never been able to give an answer. This is a dangerous profession, and I have to face death all the time, but I have no choice.  , I have to do this job to the end, otherwise I don¡¯t know what will happen.¡±

    He sighed softly. The war, maybe in his life, the war will never stop for a moment. Unless a bullet directly hits his heart in the future, he can end this torture.

    "No one has a choice." Although he didn't understand the meaning of Colonel Ernst's words, Lieutenant Colonel Stino said with deep sympathy: "God has arranged all this and it is ridiculous for me to stand with you. You  It is a perfectly equipped war machine, but my biggest ideal is to save people.¡±

    ¡°A perfectly assembled war machine¡±?  This was the first time Wang Weiyi heard someone call him that.

    But Lieutenant Colonel Stino said to himself: "If a person who saves lives encounters a killing machine, failure on the battlefield is inevitable, but I think one day you may ask a doctor like me to save lives.  That's just weird, don't you think, Colonel?"

    Wang Weiyi was startled by these words.

    Yes, maybe one day I will really need this doctor to save my life. Who knows what will happen in the future?  Not only Lieutenant Colonel Stino, but perhaps those enemies in his past will need their help sooner or later.

    For example, the former British Lieutenant Colonel Rosen, without Lieutenant Colonel Rosen, would not have been able to escape from the court so easily.

    Enemies and friends, sometimes the relationship between them is very subtle.

    It seems that I will pay more attention to this aspect in the future.

    ?After bandaging the wound of a wounded man, Lieutenant Colonel Stino stretched his arms: "When the war is over, what will you do with us prisoners? Shoot us, or put us back?"

    "I have no say in this, Lieutenant Colonel." Wang Weiyi pulled himself back from his thoughts: "If it were my own wish, I would be willing to let you go back, but it is a pity that the war is not over yet."

    Lieutenant Colonel Stino smiled and didn't really care about his words: "I think we will go home sooner or later."

    He may not know that Colonel Ernst Brahm in front of him is the one who wants to go home the most.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
