Toulon, Southern Alps Cluster Command.

"...Your Excellency, the Japanese army attacking Milan suffered heavy losses. The personnel losses of the 14th and 15th Divisions have exceeded 70%, and the Fourth Division is holding on to aid... Now General Akiyama Yogu is leading the 8th and 9th Divisions to rush to reinforce, and at the same time he makes a request to send more reinforcements to us..."

> Chief of Staff Major General Gan Molin took the battle report that had just been sent and frowned and reported to the group commander Xia Feihui.

"What? The Japanese were beaten so badly?" Xia Fei was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "How many troops are the Italians sent? Who is commanding?"

Gan Molin replied: "The commander of Italy is General Luigi Cardorna, who commands the Italian Second Army, with a total of 10 divisions..."

"Your Excellency, according to our observers in the Japanese army, the Italian army showed extremely high morale and unimaginable courage in this battle. Major Reno said in the report that many Italian soldiers did not retreat even if they were seriously injured. He saw with his own eyes that an Italian soldier even dragged his intestines to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army..." He said with an incredible expression and handed over the report sent back by the front-line observers.

Xia Fei immediately took the report and looked at it. The more he looked at his expression, the more surprised he finally exclaimed, "Oh, my God! Are the troops they encountered really Italians? I read it several times before I confirmed that the warriors they mentioned were not our French soldiers."

All of the frontline reports were filled with praise for the courage of the Italian army, and they were almost praised to the sky.

"Cadorna? As far as I know, he is a capable, but not a particularly imaginative general. I don't think he can transform the Italian army into a courageous army in a short time. Could it be the Germans wearing Italian uniforms? No, they don't need to pretend to be Italians..." Xia Fei felt that his mind was a little lacking, and he felt that it must be the wrong way he got up today.

"Investigate quickly and see what's going on!" He felt that he would investigate this kind of thing before talking about it.

"Yes, yourselves. I have ordered the relevant departments to investigate. But what should I do if the reinforcements the Japanese want?"

Xia Fei thought for a while and said, "We can free up 2 Indochina and 5 African divisions now. Well, just leave one Indochina, and the others are all sent to Akiyama Haogu..."

……………………………………………………………

At this time, Qiushan Haogu, who was on the front line, had already turned pale.

After receiving the emergency report from the front line, he quickly led the 8th and 9th Divisions to reinforce, but this time the Italian army did not look like Italians, and they showed unimaginable courage and morale.

When the two armies began to fight, the Japanese decided to defeat their opponents with their best meat and egg attacks. The Japanese army of four regiments launched an onboard charge against the Italians, and tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers shouted "onboard" to rush towards the Italians. According to previous experience, the Italians should escape or surrender at this time.

But this time it was different. Akiyama Yoko saw him on the front line and never forget him. The Italians on the opposite side not only did not panic at all, but instead jumped out of the trenches and launched a counter-charge at the Japanese army. They roared wildly, rushed towards the Japanese army with bayonets, and then the two sides began a cruel hand-to-hand combat.

Hand-to-hand combat is the cruelest and most test of the combat effectiveness of the troops. This kind of battle will not last too long. Because in such a battle, one side will collapse quickly. The Japanese have rich lessons about this. They broke out with Russia in the Russo-Japanese War, and were fucked so well by the bear. In hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese usually win with five against one.

After the war, the Japanese began to summarize their experience. Of course, the Japanese had no shortage of courage. The reason why they were so miserable by the Russians was first of all because of their racial disadvantages. The Russians were generally one head taller than the Japanese, tall, long arms and strong strength, naturally had an advantage in fighting. Then there was weapons. At that time, the Russian army was equipped with the Mosinnagan rifle. The spear of this gun was relatively long, and the front part of the gun was naturally narrowed, which was very comfortable to use, which was conducive to assassination. The Japanese army used the gold hook rifle at that time. This gun was shorter and the bayonet was shorter, which was not conducive to assassination. Finally, the Japanese army's stabbing skills were still insufficient.

So the Japanese immediately began to improve. Race factors were born and basically no way to improve them. The Japanese put in the last two items, so they changed into the Type 38 rifle, which is probably the longest rifle in the world today. With the long bayonet, it is very suitable for stinging. Then they worked harder to improve their "gun sword technique", that is, stinging technology.

It should be said that the Japanese army has made great progress in terms of hand-to-hand meat compared to that time. Of course, in the Sino-Japanese War, their hand-to-hand combat ability was basically not shown, but it was mainly because the Chinese were too cunning, not the Japanese soldiers were too inferior. Because the Chinese actually used submachine guns and pistols in hand-to-hand combat. Facing the pistols of Chinese soldiers, the Japanese were so frustrated that they were crying. This was simply cheating! What about the bayonet fighting that was agreed to be?

However, the Italians in front of them are obviously wrong! The Italians are from Southern Europe, and their figures are far from being compared with the gray animals in Russia. They do not seem to have much height advantage compared to the Japanese. The Carcano m1891 rifle they equipped is not longer than the Type 38. And they do not have a pistol like the Chinese infantry.

But what's going on now?

The hand-to-hand combat speed was very fast. The two armies shouted and fought together. In the blink of an eye, countless people fell down screaming. It made Akiyama Haogu unbelievable, and most of the fallen were Japanese.

At this time, the Italians showed unimaginable hand-to-hand combat ability. Not only did they have amazing courage and high morale, but their own strength, speed and reaction were much better than the Japanese army. So as soon as they fought, the Japanese suffered a great loss.

The most important thing is that the Italians are like berserkers in ancient legends. As long as they are not killed on the spot, they will still insist on fighting. Akiyama Yoguru saw with his own eyes that an Italian soldier who was stabbed by a bayonet in his belly and flowed out of his intestines still insisted on fighting. After killing two more Japanese troops, he finally died with one Japanese army.

Facing the enemy whose strength, speed and reaction were obviously higher than that of their own, and who was completely crazy, the Japanese horse dung could not withstand it no matter how fierce the Italians were. Under the desperate bayonet attack, the Japanese finally collapsed. The remaining Japanese troops fled in horror, and they were completely scared by the demon-like Italians.

Many Japanese soldiers were even scared to throw away their weapons, screamed in horror, and turned around and ran away. They only hated that their parents gave birth to two less legs. How great would it be if they were centipedes. These were good things to run. Some Japanese soldiers were so scared that their legs were weak and they couldn't escape, so they simply fell to the ground and surrendered with their hands high. This is really not a fault for the Japanese army's incompetence. Faced with such a monster who does not know the pain and is fearless, it is not easy for them to last for such a long time.

The Italians chased after them directly. For the Japanese army kneeling on their backs, the Italians who were red-eyed and ignored these things and stabbed them to the ground with a bayonet. As for the fleeing Japanese army, although they had already used their strength, the Italian army chased them faster. In a blink of an eye, they chased them behind them, and then easily managed them with a bayonet.

What kind of monsters are these?!

Akiyama's ancient eyes were almost falling out. He had already seen monsters like "Tengou", "Shura", and "Rakshasa" appear in his mind, and it is overlapping with Italians online.

Not only him, but almost all the officers and soldiers who saw the Italian performance were shocked.

A French officer was a little mentally ill. He looked pale and muttered: "Is the Roman Empire going to reappear? Could it be that Caesar came to the world again..."

However, after killing most of the Japanese soldiers this time, the Italians did not withdraw and continued to yell at the Japanese positions.

Akiyama Haogu was also a long-standing battle. He immediately ordered: "Order the machine gunners to shoot at the Italians..." More than 100 light and heavy machine guns in front of the Japanese position immediately began to shoot.

Then, they saw an incredible scene. The Italians did not evade at all, and rushed towards the bullets like rain.

"This...this is..." Akiyama Haogu was completely stupid. This is no longer the era of queuing up and shooting. Well, are these Italians fools who set up heavy machine gun positions?

There was no suspense in the final ending. With the roar of heavy machine guns, the Italians fell down like harvesting wheat. When the last Italian soldier fell down, the officers and soldiers of the Allied countries breathed a sigh of relief as if they had a nightmare.

There was a cold situation in the Japanese command center, and no one in the Allies knew how to evaluate their opponents. If it was in the era of cold weapons, or when machine guns were not invented, the Japanese army might have failed today. There is no way. The monster that does not know the pain, does not fear life and death, and is of the highest quality, is really terrible. It is not something that normal people can deal with.

"Report to the Deputy Commander, we have captured a few prisoners..." At this time, a Japanese officer came to report excitedly.

"Quickly interrogate, what's going on?" After calming down, Akiyama Yogu also felt that the Italian army today was too abnormal. If the Italian army was really so capable, they would have shown their power in France.

"Your Excellency, I'll go and see..." Chief Staff Colonel Soichi Desouchi hurriedly said.

"Okay, ask carefully, it seems that something is wrong with those Italians..." Akiyama Haogu said with a gloomy face.
