My Italian

Latest URL: "Bombardment, squat down."

At this time, in a trench in Shaal, the French officer leading the team shouted loudly to the terrified Tunisian soldiers in the trench.

At this time, there was a sharp whistling sound in the air, followed by an explosion sound. At this time, the reinforced artillery regiment of the 15th Division was constantly bombarding the position with 75 and 105mm cannons. Thanks to the Italian high-level artillery team, the landing point of its shelling is basically in the trenches.

The constantly exploding positions made the soldiers defending in the trenches panic. At this moment, they were like a fawn plunged into a pack of wolves, not knowing what to do.

The words of the officers did not work on fearing the soldiers, and more importantly, they could not understand the officers' French.

Although France has been in Tunisia for 30 years, the French government has no consideration at all in wanting the people of Tunisia to learn French. On the contrary, the middle and upper classes in Tunisia have learned some French, while the people at the bottom do not have the time and energy.

Therefore, the biggest problem with the conscripted colonial army was the communication between officers and soldiers.

In fact, it is not a problem in normal times, because the French officers have translators and communicate with the soldiers through the translators.

But there are problems on the battlefield. The interpreter may also be injured and killed in battle. How should officers communicate with soldiers. Even if the translation is fine, who knows if the order will be out of shape if the order is conveyed through the translation.

And the officer in this position was injured when the interpreter left, and now he is blinded by his soldiers. Although he also understands some simple everyday language, he doesn't know much military language. In fact, not only his position was like this, but the whole front was similar.

These recruited indigenous soldiers have only been in the army for four or five months, and they need to translate their words. How much training can they achieve?

To be specific, they enter the recruit training for two months, then enter the army for one month, and then are sent to the destination. The average number of bullets fired by each soldier is no more than 30 rounds.

As its opponent, Italian soldiers, the annual training volume of bullets has reached 200 rounds. Not to mention that during the three months of recruit training, at least one hundred bullets must be fired.

As for the officers supported by the army, the gap between the two sides has widened. Because according to the tradition of the French army, excellent officers should serve in their homeland.

Especially after the war broke out, the French army suffered too much loss, and even qualified officers were transferred to the mainland as supplements or to form new troops. As for the colonial army, it was led by the remaining officers. How good do you expect these officers who don't even look down on the local army to be?

It is precisely because he knows the quality of the enemy in front of him that Major General Kazapa, the commander of the 15th Division, who is the vanguard of the Eighth Army, dares to use the strength of a division to attack it.

Speaking of which, Major General Kazapa is also a veteran in the army. Now 59 years old, he is close to retiring. Before that, he participated in all the wars after Carlo succeeded to the throne. Although he was unlucky, although he participated in the war, he was always in the army with no fighting forces, so he didn't make any contribution, but it can be regarded as hard work. well experienced.

Later, he was promoted to major general three years ago and became the deputy commander of the 15th division. After the division commander was reassigned last year, the military took him into consideration that he was about to retire, so he straightened him up.

Unexpectedly, shortly after the restoration, the war broke out, and this man was very familiar with the 15th Division and had good ability, so he continued to serve as the commander of the 15th Division. In the previous Italian-French border war, because the 15th Division was a reserve team, it failed to get any performance opportunities.

As for being assigned to the Eighth Army to participate in the Tunisian campaign, the veteran finally couldn't bear it. He has spent most of his military career, and he is not a talented officer. He can show his style even without wars, but he must rely on wars to express himself. However, since the opportunity has not been caught, it is impossible to talk about the performance.

But this time I finally met, and I had to show myself what I said, so after being incorporated into the Eighth Army to prepare for the Tunisia campaign, I kept saying that I would like to lead the 15th Division as the vanguard.

Faced with the veteran's constant requests, Lieutenant General Brazo, who is the actual commander of the army group, finally agreed to his request. In addition to the indomitable spirit of this veteran, it is also because the 15th Division is the most powerful unit in his hands, which can be seen from the number of the 15th Division alone.

In order to live up to Lieutenant General Brasso's expectations and to prove himself, after serving as a striker in the 15th division, Kazapa has been busy working as a striker from dawn to dusk. In his opinion, he is not gifted and intelligent, so he can only use hard work to make up for his stupidity.

At this time, looking at the French positions that were constantly being bombarded in front of him, Kazapa already had an idea in his heart, but he still needed to wait for a telegram.

I checked my pocket watch, if I'm not late, I should be here soon.

Just as Kazapa was thinking, a communications officer ran up to him with a telegram.

"Master, this is a telegram from the airship unit."

Looking at the telegram in front of him, Kasapa smiled. "Very good, call me Colonel Bogado."

"Master, you call me."

At this time, Colonel Bogado, who was burly and macho, came in front of him. And the group he brought, just like his temperament, had a fierce character.

"Bogado, you came at the right time. I need you to attack the enemy at the distance from the middle of the enemy to the left wing position. Do you have the confidence to break through the enemy's position at once?"

"Leave the division commander to our regiment. We will definitely be able to conquer the enemy's position in one go. Look at the panicked native soldiers. Do they know how to shoot at people?"

Colonel Bogado patted his chest to assure that he thought his regiment had this ability.

"Since this is the case, then you will launch the main attack, and the second and third regiments will be responsible for containment from the two wings. In addition, the airship troops that will help us from Tripoli will arrive soon, and they will be responsible for air support to your regiment."

Kazapa also gave the group the airship he called.

"With the airship, I am more confident."

"Don't allow too many casualties?"

Seeing Colonel Bogado's face full of confidence, Casapa then reminded the other party.

"Don't worry, I will show you a good record, Commander. Hey, the airship that the Commander supports us has appeared."

The rumbling gunfire continued until the airship reached the sky above the French army. Looking at the black airship above their heads, the French officers and soldiers were a little panicked. Because in mainland France, the Italians have used airships to do countless ground attacks.

In response to the threat from the sky, the French arsenal urgently developed defensive weapons such as anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. However, because the current production is not enough, these equipment basically stay in France.

As for Tunisia, which faces Italy directly, the French army allocated some because of their own safety in North Africa. There are a total of 24 anti-aircraft machine guns and 8 anti-aircraft guns. However, these weapons are deployed on the front line in Tunisia. As Shaal, who only slows down the enemy's advance speed, he is not equipped with these anti-aircraft weapons.

At this time, these airships boldly descended to an altitude of 1,500 meters. At this altitude, even the machine guns of the airships would pose a huge threat.

At this time, the sound of the artillery stopped, and a group of Italian officers and soldiers rushed towards their position.

"The enemy has attacked, and they all come out to the trenches."

Under the orders of the officers, these native soldiers ran out with rifles in their hands. At this time, the airship in the sky made these people a little panicked, and some even chanted the name of God.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of machine gunfire in the sky, and then several people in the trench bleed and fell to the ground.

"This is the airship in the sky shooting, everyone quickly fight back."

"Bah~ bah~"

A burst of gunfire rang out, and the soldiers shooting at the airship kept firing, trying to drive or shoot down the airship. However, at an altitude of 1500 meters, these rifles and even machine guns do not have such a high range, so this is just useless work.

"The enemy is approaching soon, don't worry about the airship above."

At this time, looking at the Italian soldiers who had entered the range, the French officer who led the team kept ordering his soldiers to ignore the threat from the sky. Of course, it was difficult for him to give orders by mouth alone, so he used both hands and feet to let these native soldiers who had never seen the market know which one to deal with now.

But seeing that no one cares about it, the airship will be even happier next time. It not only shot at the soldiers in the trenches with machine guns, but also threw bombs at them.

Although the harassment of machine guns and bombs did not cause much loss to the defenders, it made the soldiers uneasy. Coupled with its own poor marksmanship, the shooting effect made people shake their heads.

At this time, the 1st Regiment of the 15th Division had a ferocious character. Under the cover of mortars, machine guns, and smoke bombs, a group of officers and soldiers attacked along the weak points of the defenders given by Commander Kazapa. Under a charge, he even directly broke into the French position. Although the native soldiers on the ground were encouraged by French officers, many of them sneaked away without paying attention.

In fact, even if they don’t slip away, they are not opponents of a group. Bayonet fighting is the most important thing about courage. If you look at the eyes of these indigenous soldiers, they have all kinds of things. They just lack courage, so they were opened by a group at once. gap.

"Immediately ordered the other troops to open a gap along a regiment ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and continue to attack, we strive to defeat the enemy today."

As the breach widened, other French officers and soldiers in Sha'al also began to waver. The enemy is so fierce, and they took down the friendly positions in one charge, so what should I do next?

And Kazapa, who didn't give the enemy time to react, launched a bigger offensive directly without giving the opponent a chance to respond.

At this time, the native soldiers in the French army's position began to flee. Often, the opponent was still in the trench before, and after turning around, there was only one rifle there.

After a group broke through three trenches one after another, no one could stop the defeat of the French army at this time.

At this time, Major General Kazapa, seeing the situation in good shape, has a deep understanding of these indigenous troops. "It seems that not everyone has the combat effectiveness of our servant army in East Africa."

I feel like I am writing three chapters into two chapters.
