Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 459: The fall of Rome (4)
A stern air defense sirens sounded over the city of Rome. At this moment, whether it was hand-cranked or electric, the sirens all over the city were activated, sending out an emergency evacuation signal to the citizens. (WwW.mianhuatang.la no pop-up ads)
The melee in the city is still going on. Both sides of the battle are exhausted at this moment, consuming a lot of ammunition and blood, but the two sides are evenly matched. Most of the battles were carried out at very close distances, resulting in serious casualties. Both sides did not like to keep prisoners, and the severity of the battle exceeded the expectations of the commanders.
The gendarmerie and the gendarmerie, the gendarmerie and the rebels, the rebels and the police, the police and the police, the police and the gendarmerie, and the surrounding areas of Piazza Venezia and the Motherland Altar have become a pot of stew.
With the continuous addition of support from both sides, both sides wore similar uniforms, it became extremely difficult to identify friend or foe on the battlefield, and many of the dead were killed by friendly fire.
The two factions have already hit the real fire. The officers and soldiers completely forgot the original intention of the battle. They only wanted to kill the **** on the opposite side and avenge their comrades in arms.
Mussolini’s supporters did not have as many as the coup d’état had imagined. The conscription in Rome had already recruited a large number of retired veterans. Those are Mussolini’s most iron supporters who are willing to Their leaders and ideals go to fight strong enemies. Those fighting the military police now are mostly active soldiers stranded in the capital. In theory, these people should have returned to their troops, but they stayed in Rome for various reasons. Many people did not want to go to Germany. People fight, but there is no doubt that they are all fans of the Fascist National Party.
This party is not monolithic. There are many senior officials in the fascist party in the coup, but the grassroots members do not have so many complicated ideas. They only know that Mussolini is their leader. What they are doing now is to save their leader, and they are also saving Italy from the shameless traitors.
It must be admitted that these people are more faithful than the coup, which can be clearly compared in the performance of the two sides in the battle. But at this time, both sides of the battle have consumed the bottom line, both in terms of manpower and materials. Even if their belief is still firm, they cannot resist physical and mental fatigue. For German soldiers, street fighting is common, but for Italian soldiers, it is It is a high-intensity confrontation that has never been experienced before.

The battle can reach this point, and both sides have indeed tried their best. It should be fortunate that these people are not equipped with heavy firepower, otherwise this core area of Italy may be razed to the ground by the red-eye fighters.
The sudden sounding of the air raid alarm became a signal for the suspension of the battle. Both sides invariably stopped their preparations for the next round of attacks. The soldiers could finally squat behind the simple bunker and take a breath of water.
"Major, the headquarters urgently ordered. General Galliani ordered us to retreat immediately. The Germans have already entered the city." A motorcycle messenger gave a military salute and then pulled out a document bag on his chest. Zhang written order.
"The Germans have entered the city? The latest chapter of Lightning Summoner
! "The military police major took the paper in surprise.
"Sorry, I am not very clear. I have to go to the next position to deliver the order. Good luck, sir." The soldier salutes again, and then turns the throttle. Piaggio painted in gray The motorcycle roared away.
"Are you kidding? My people are in front, how can we get out now." The military police major handed the order to the deputy battalion commander, took off his two-cornered cap and threw it on the car. The front cover of the car.
"The soldiers are okay, but what about the wounded? There are no more vehicles left. You can't leave them to the bastards." The deputy battalion commander said anxiously.
"There are also Germans. God knows where they came from. Could it be that the eastern line of defense has been breached? It won't be so fast. Yesterday's battle report also said that the line of defense was stable."
"What should I do now." The deputy company commander asked.
"Orders let us retreat to the airport, we can only obey."
"There is not even a plane there. What are we going to do there?"
"If I can understand, I'm also a general. Leave two squads for cover, first withdraw the troops first, leave all the vehicles to the wounded, and everyone else running with the car." The major scratched his head and gave helplessly. Ordered.
"An advance team has entered Rome?!" Major General Sixmond von Foster jumped off his Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle and snatched it from the combat staff Captain von Bonin. Sent that telegram.
"What did the military command say, is General Kucheler indifferent to this?" The commander of the 26th Infantry Division of the German Army angrily crumpled the telegram into a ball.
"This involves issues between services. The commander may have some concerns." Major von Koch prompted.
"You can't make this matter go to the head of state, don't forget that they are also members of the Wehrmacht, and their success is also the honor of the entire German Empire." It was Colonel Mangel who had served in the party. The guard field commander, a **** Nazi member, this time he brought a regiment directly from Berlin to take charge of the security operations in the occupied area.
"You are very correct, Colonel, I am a little too excited." The major general readily admitted his mistake, and began to worry that Mangel would give a small report to his insidious superior.
Now there are some staff officers in the Army who have dual identities as the SS and the Army. They have replaced those annoying National Socialist inspectors and assumed the task of monitoring and regulating the internal thinking of the army. It sounds a bit like The political commissar in the east does not have as much power as the other party.
During the war, it was not a bad thing to control the minds of soldiers, and the generals and marshals all agreed with it. The reason they were disgusted by thought leaders before was because although they were military officers, they were subordinate to Martin Bowerman, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office, and they were accustomed to chasing the wind and picking up and biting indiscriminately when handling cases. This will definitely affect the morale of the troops in the long run. Not a small shock.
Now these officers are all selected and appointed by the High Command. They are directly responsible to the Command. They usually monitor the thoughts of soldiers and officers, and resolutely obey the orders of superior officers during battle. The latest chapter of Hegemony Time and Space
.
"The Second Battalion of the Seventy-seventh Regiment is following the 21st Armored Regiment. They have now reached the outskirts of Rome, less than ten kilometers from the city center." Captain Bonin reminded him from the side, motioning for the army to join forces. Not too far behind.
"Order the 77th Regiment to speed up and connect me to the headquarter of the 21st Armored Regiment. We need their full cooperation." Major General Foster pointed at the signal soldier.
"I believe Colonel Godin knows what to do." Von Koch echoed.
"Gording must be furious." The major general's commander glanced at the SS colonel from the corner of his eye, and then unfolded and smoothed the ball of telegram in his hand, folded it and stuffed it into his chest pocket.
"The group of air force and navy guys stole our honor." Lieutenant Spalu smashed the armor plate severely.
"Lieutenant Colonel Dreyer, commander of the 1st Battalion of the Seventy-seventh Regiment, asked to speak with you." Sergeant Rem reported with his headset.
"It seems that they have also been notified. Let's take it." The captain rubbed his wrist, then straightened the headset on his head.
"Bison, this is the blacksmith, can you hear clearly?" A man's voice came from the headset.
"This is a bison, I heard you clearly, please tell me the blacksmith."
"You have received an order from your superior, right? Over."
"Yes, I have been notified by my superiors, it is over."
"Now I have a plan to save our honor as much as possible. It needs your cooperation and it is over."
"The superior has ordered us to obey your command. It's over." Sparrow supported the command tower wall and turned to look at the rear team.
"Very well, my plan is very simple. I will break directly into the center of Rome and occupy the Palazzo Venezia... I guess there may be fierce resistance~ IndoMTL.com~ so I need armored cover."
"The second company follows your command, it's over." Spalu replied loudly.
"Very well, keep in touch, bison."
"Bison obeyed, it's over." Spalu turned his face and sat back in the turret, letting out a long breath.
"Also, occupying the Italian Prime Minister's Office is also a good topic." The company commander said to the gunner.
"It sounds great, doesn't it." The driver said excitedly.
"We may encounter resistance from the Italian army. We don't understand this city. Street fighting is a bit detrimental to us." Sergeant Rem said.
"With the cooperation of the infantry of the 77th Regiment, the battle will go smoothly. If we are stuck, we can also throw Rem over. He didn't always say that he could defeat a dozen Italians by himself" Lieutenant Spalu Laughed and made fun of his subordinates.
