The Italians were about to collapse.

Major General Kross couldn't believe that his troops were so weak in combat, and he lost the front line position in just thirty-five minutes.

How could I have the face to meet General Cardorna?

But the bad news is far more than that:

In six hours, two positions were broken through by the Germans again, and the Germans were approaching Ponosa:

The location of this Italian 33rd Infantry Division Command!

Major General Cross was stunned.

It's so terrible, so terrible! The enemy spent six hours on shelling, and then hit his command center in one breath.

Did he become a prisoner after six hours?

"Brother General Soqualia, I order you to lead the Svaro brigade to block the enemy. This is an order!" Major General Kros almost gave his order with a roar.

Brigadier General Soqualia was a little worried: "General, you have to know that the Germans who were attacking were very fierce. They had tanks and mortars, and countless machine guns. I was worried about the soldiers..."

"The soldiers' worries are not something I have to consider!" Major General Cross was furious: "What I care about is whether Bonosa can defend it, do you want us to be captives..."

He calmed down a little: "Brother General, you have to know one thing: the glory of the Italian army cannot be lost, otherwise we will all go to the military court... You shoulder the burden for three days. I only need you to stick to it for three days, and then our mission will be completed..."

Once, Major General Kroos promised General Cardorna that he could hold on to Tolmezo for several months, but now this time has been greatly reduced to three days...

I have to submit a meeting, right? If I can withstand three days, Major General Kros can proudly tell anyone that he is leading the troops and facing an enemy that is several times his own, and how to fight bravely with endless artillery fire. He left Tolmezo with glory...

The key to whether this task can be accomplished lies in Brigadier General Soqualia...

......

"Col. Bonosa is ahead. All the failed Italians have fled there now, and the enemy's command is also set up there. If we can capture Bonosa, it is equivalent to controlling the entire Tolmezzo."

Rommel's introduction made Wang Weiyi nod.

At least from the moment, Bonosa's external defense is still very strong, and a large number of Italian soldiers have entered the position and are posing as defending here to the death.

"Who is most likely to order Cross to be responsible for the outside defense?" Wang Weiyi asked calmly.

Elina answered the question: "Col. The most likely candidate is Brigadier General Soqualia, who has been following Cross. He performed well in the battle against the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His Svaro brigade was barely considered combat-effective in the entire 33rd Infantry Division, and he had a lot of machine guns..."

Rommel and the generals couldn't help but smile.

After the outbreak of the General Assembly, the weapons of the Italians seized along the way were piled up like mountains, including machine guns and mortars.

It is really unimaginable that if the Italians could resist with these machine guns, the Skeleton Commando's offensive speed would never be that fast.

However, it is obvious that the Italians are more interested in surrender and escape...

"Col. Goodrian's tank has arrived."

In offensive battles, the speed of the Skeleton Commando can be described as lightning, and the bulky and slow a7v obviously cannot keep up with their pace.

"Don't throw tanks down in the future." Wang Weiyi issued the following order: "Tanks need protection, and you cannot hope to win the battlefield by relying solely on tanks."

"Yes, Colonel."

"Let's talk about Brigadier General Soqualia." Wang Weiyi refocused on the front battlefield: "If there is no error in the information, then we will waste some time. But I don't want to do this. Elina, what is Brigadier General Soqualia's personality?"

"Impulsive, impulsive, and do things without consequences. If it weren't for his relationship with Major General Cross, maybe there would be big trouble several times. So he has always been grateful to Major General Cross."

"Col. Is it possible to use his temper to lure him out?" Manstein made his own suggestion.

Wang Weiyi suddenly laughed: "I have another way... Why don't we attack Bonosa directly?"

His subordinates were stunned there, and Wang Weiyi asked someone to bring the map: "Look, based on the information we have obtained from our previous reconnaissances, there is a small road called Agolivendo, which can be directly reached Ponosa..."

Rommel pondered, "Do you mean to raid here?"

"Not bad!" Wang Weiyi nodded: "This is my idea... Erwin, Fritz, Heinz, command your three teams to attack the Svaro Brigade, use all the artillery, mortars and machine guns on the tanks, drag Soqualia here tightly, and I, lead the first team to attack Bonosa..."

"Col. This is too dangerous." Manstein was the first to object: "Although the Italians' combat effectiveness is vulnerable, in Bonosa, there must be a large number of Italian soldiers who escaped back. The number of people in the first squad is too small. If..."

Wang Weiyi smiled: "Si Dao and Adolf can capture the Italians in two companies, why can't I force Cross to surrender? They don't know how many people we have come, or my plan will be successful... Moreover, even if Cross refuses to surrender and knows that Bonosa is raided, I think Soqualia's first reaction is to give up the position. I can bet with you..."

Although they thought the colonel's words were reasonable, the officers still felt that this was too risky.

Do you attack Bonosa without tank cover with just a few hundred men?

"Okay, that's the decision." Wang Weiyi made up his final decision: "Our mission is not to entangle with the enemy here, but to seize the entire Tolmezo immediately. I don't want time to be delayed. I heard that Udinette is a good city, and I really want to go in and take a look..."

The officers looked at each other, and no one could do anything. Who can change the things that the Skeleton Baron decided?

Wang Weiyi took his first team away overnight without even a minute of delay, and quietly headed towards Agolivendo...

This is a bold plan, no one can predict success or failure, but one thing is certain that all the members of the first team are full of confidence in their Skeleton Baron...

After dawn, Rommel and others, who couldn't wait, immediately launched a shelling attack on the Svaro Brigade!

The cannons and mortars on the tanks opened fire at the same time, and the shells roared towards the enemy's positions, and the light and heavy machine guns also made their terrifying roars...

To give Colonel Ernst the most powerful support, this is the only thing all the officers of the Skeleton Commando thought!

In the face of the crazy artillery fire attack of the Skeleton Commando, the Italians had to endure such torture. Fortunately, they did not collapse and escape.

Thanks to Commodore Soqualia.

This brigade general is one of the few Italian officers who can still fight hard battles, and he also won some victories in his previous battles with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

He understood the importance of holding this position, and knew what it would mean if he lost so many of Bonosa, so he tried his best to prevent the troops from collapsing under the enemy's shelling.

But what frustrated him was that he did not receive the support of his own artillery fire...

The Germans did not rush to attack immediately, but kept using shells to destroy the opponent's determination to resist. To be honest, the intensity of their shelling was not very strong. Often, one shot would be shot again after a while.

But from time to time, the shelling method of the shells hit the soldiers of the Svaro Brigade also had a huge psychological impact...

Damn German, if you want to attack, attack, why do you have to do this? Soqualia thought to grit her teeth.

But what can he do? Now he takes the initiative in the hands of the enemy...

......

Just as the Skeleton Commando attacked the Svaro Brigade, the first team commanded by Wang Weiyi had been traveling all night.

"Rest for an hour." Wang Weiyi gave such an order.

The soldiers were indeed a little tired. At this speed, they could reach Ponosa before the afternoon, so they had to be fully energetic.

A few locals looked at these uninvited guests who suddenly appeared in fear. Maybe they were Germans? But where did they come from? Where did their Italian army? Why did they let them over?

Wang Weiyi asked his subordinates to bring the locals over and found a soldier who knew Italian and asked him to ask these locals: "Is there an Italian army here?"

"There were before, but now there are no more... Yesterday's cannons were very powerful, and all the troops ran away... It's so damn, they didn't even fire their guns..."

This answer made Wang Weiyi feel much more at ease, at least it was safe all the way from here to Bonosa.

"Mr. Officer." A local man asked timidly: "Are you German?"

"Yes, we are Germans." Wang Weiyi answered the question with a smile: "My name is Ernst Bryme, I hope our arrival will not scare you."

What a polite officer, several Italians sighed and thought.
Chapter completed!
