Seven hundred and eighty-four.(1/2)

The emergence of the Baron Guard has caused the situation on the battlefield to change rapidly

After successfully restoring Leipzig, the Baron Guard, the most elite German unit, immediately launched an attack on Chemnis. An Italian army stationed in Chemnis.

I originally thought that this would be an easy battle when facing the Italians, but surprisingly, this Italian army actually maintained a certain combat effectiveness. Under the double blow of German air bombing and ground attack, it persisted for a whole day without letting Chemnis lose it.

This is the most surprising thing. They are Italians, and no matter what kind of combat power they have, they are always defeated! Wang Weiyi was also surprised when he came to the front line to hear the news. During the two world wars, he had encountered the Italian army countless times on the battlefield, and such a team did not even take any effort. Even after the beginning of the Berlin Defense War, the performance of the Italian army was as clumsy as before, but why was it different this time?

Wang Weiyi didn't quite understand.











He decided to test the strength of the Italian army himself, and on the night after he arrived at the front line, he ordered the entire army to launch a general attack on Chemnis.

Judging from the situation of the war, although the combat effectiveness of the Italian army in Chemnis was stronger than that of the previous Italians, it was no match for the German army at all, and many positions were successively broken through. However, the Italians showed no sign of defeat.

Under the fierce attack of the German army, the Italians who had been struggling for a whole day could no longer continue to persevere and quickly retreated into the city. According to past habits, the Italians who fought by this time had already performed the best, and it was time for the entire army to be defeated.

But what surprised Wang Weiyi and the German army again happened.











Instead of defeat, the Italians started street fighting with the German army.











"I have never seen such an Italian army." Wang Weiyi murmured incredibly.

At this time, gunfire sounded across Chemnis. The equipment of this Italian army was obviously inferior to other Allied forces, but its willpower was amazing.

There are only a few Italian soldiers who often appear on many positions, holding weapons from the Second World War and persevering until the entire army is killed.

When the Germans rushed into the positions they defended, they saw the weapons they used in addition to the corpses all over the ground:

German-made MP38 submachine guns, former Soviet-made Poposa submachine guns, even Mauser rifles appeared.











God, their weapons are all old guys, and they are even worse than those guerrillas who are resisting all over Germany.

But they have been using these heinously inferior weapons to this point.











What kind of spirit does this require?











Through the captured prisoners, I finally figured out some general points that this unit was the Italian Diago Infantry Division.

Diago Infantry Division? Wang Weiyi always felt that he seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

That night, the German commando continued to launch assault operations, breaking through a large number of city positions defended by the German army one after another. But even so, the war has not stopped until now.

At 1 a.m., good news came from the front. A German assault squadron successfully locked the location of the division headquarters of the Diago Infantry Division. Subsequently, a large number of German assault squadrons began to reinforce here one after another.

This is another unexpected news.











The highest commander of the Italian army has not retreated yet!

"Don't hurt their commanders, I need to see the living." This was the only order issued by Wang Weiyi to the frontline troops. He had already developed deep curiosity about the commander of this Italian army.

However, it is obviously very difficult to defeat this division headquarters.

Their equipment is better, and they even have two old tanks and a large number of machine guns. With an absolute advantage, the German army was unwilling to suffer too many casualties, so the German army was not willing to pay too much losses to occupy the other party's command.

At 1:20 a.m., the German Supreme Commander Ernst.

Marshal Breme led three "Leopard" cars to appear on the front line.

"Martin Ernst, the enemy's resistance is very tenacious." Colonel Bodemel, the captain of the first-class assault brigade of the Baron Guard SS Bodemel, came to the marshal: "Because you personally instructed to catch the alive, we did not dare to use heavy weapons to attack."

"Have you ever persuaded to surrender?" Wang Weiyi grabbed the telescope and asked.

"Yes, the Marshal has persuaded him to surrender, but the other party has no response."

Wang Weiyi exhaled: "If you still cannot defeat the opponent's defense, then the two tanks I brought will be under your command."

"Yes, Marshal." Bodmer had a clear mind this time.

In fact, at this time, Wang Weiyi was more eager to see the other party's commander than ever before. However, if he had to waste a lot of time here, he would definitely not allow it.



The new attack soon began. Colonel Bodemel concentrated all his firepower and suppressed the Italians on the opposite side. Although the Italians suffered heavy casualties, they had no intention of escaping.

An Italian captain was taken to Wang Weiyi, and from his expression, he seemed to see any fear, his body stood straight, but he did not hide anything from the questions asked by the Germans.

The predecessor of the Diago Infantry Division was the Italian Borza Infantry Regiment!

Borza Infantry Regiment, Borza Infantry Regiment.











Wang Weiyi frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly knew what kind of troops this was.

It was during World War I, in Udinee, Italy, and the Borza Infantry Regiment was responsible for defending this important Italian town.

And their commander was Colonel Diago, the Italian officer who ended his life with a pistol until the last moment when Udine City was broken, and he was never willing to surrender.

He even thought of the letter that Colonel Diago asked him to hand over to his wife before committing suicide.

"Dear German Commander, please pass this trustee to my wife, and I will pay the deepest respect to you. Your enemy, Diago."

Wang Weiyi did not read the contents of the letter, but he fulfilled Colonel Diago's last wish.

During World War I, although the combat effectiveness of the Italian army was ridiculous, Colonel Diago alone was undoubtedly worthy of respect.

"After the end of World War I, in order to commend Colonel Diago's bravery, the Borza Infantry Regiment was named Diago Infantry Regiment and finally expanded into Diago Infantry Division." The Italian captain's words were full of pride: "The people of the Diago Infantry Division will always persist until the last moment."
