A large number of Italian troops were mobilized, and with the help of Italian transportation lines, they went from the north to the south. However, the speed was not ordinary slow. The reason was very simple. After the Allies blocked Italy's sea transportation, Italy's entire land transportation system could not afford the transportation of a million troops at all.

The Chinese entered Europe and helped the Germans build huge railways and highways, which greatly increased the conditions for railways and highways in Germany. In other European countries, transportation still remained in the last century, and countries like Italy and Austro-Hungary had poor traffic conditions.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was just a bad place. Most of the territories were in poor traffic conditions, but with the support of the 3B railway, it was still good at least along the railway. However, Italy was different. It was not strong in itself and was unwilling to let the Chinese build it. The transportation was very inconvenient. In addition, the army's strength was very poor. It took a week to establish the troops to go to the expedition, and then set out for another half a month. Next, it was a long march. It was conservatively estimated that it would take almost a month to reach the predetermined location.

It was Italy's delay that gave the Allies the opportunity. After completely occupying Sicily, the Allies continued to transport the subsequent troops and materials to the island. The vanguard troops were fully prepared to land without resting for too long.

After 12 days of occupying Sicily, when the Italian army was still struggling to send who to send troops and determine the troops, the Sicily occupied troops were ready to cross the strait and head straight to Italy's mainland.

Even if it is a 3-kilometer-wide strait, it is still a strait. It is necessary to do a good job of landing. Fortunately, Sicily has been captured. With the help of the port on the island, the Allies can supply materials faster and smoother, which is the biggest advantage. When the 3-kilometer sea surface is calm, there is no need for ocean-going merchant ships or ordinary flatbeds near the sea. When at least 1,000 small ships gather near Sicily, the landing begins.

Also under the protection of heavy patrols and other protections, the login was protected. This time, when the login was ongoing, it encountered a war. Even though Italy had poor mobilization capabilities, it still deployed about 4 divisions on the other side of the strait and built defensive fortifications.

There were 4 divisions, 60,000 people, and it was not too much to say, but the Allies could send 70 people at one time. Ordinary flat boats that could accommodate 70 people were not expensive. They didn't have to worry about being sunk. In the strait that was more than 30 kilometers wide, they started an attack without focus, which was something Italy did not expect. They just made a key protection at several easy-to-land locations. Under the attack of machine guns and artillery, a large number of ships were hit, and at least thousands of people fell from the sea forever. However, more people rushed to the probe position and were landed on Italy's homeland by at least 40,000 people.

Now the Italian army panicked. Two of the four divisions chose to retreat, and the rest also targeted other directions. This is a taboo. Once you pass, you will be more passive. The Allies have a great advantage in the navy. Facing the superior firepower of the coalition forces, there is no way for them to appear. More and more ships began to appear. The beachhead position that had already occupied gradually became a landing field. More and more troops were heading towards depth. When the number of landings reached 100,000, Italy could only choose to retreat.

Unexpectedly, this retreat became the norm. The Allied forces spent 10,000 casualties and finally passed the Strait of Messina and built a solid position. The entire Strait of Messina became the territory of the Allied Navy. A large number of warships were concentrated here, using huge naval guns to support the landing troops' defense of artillery fire. Then the army after rectification began to go north quickly along the Italian seaside. The overall image of Italy was like a person's feet. The Allied did not have time to occupy all of Italy's territory inch by inch, but the entire north was the essence of Italy. Whether it was Turin, Milan, or Venice, as long as these were taken down, Italy was not far from the destruction of its country.

Faced with the aggressiveness of the Allied troops, Italy retreated 75 kilometers in just 7 days and withdrew from a large area. The Allied troops pressed step by step, constantly forcing Italy to retreat. After opening up the landing, the larger number of troops began to board the Apennine Peninsula and gradually deepened along the road opened by the vanguard.

Originally, the Italian troops preparing to go south also stopped. The other side was so fast that instead of passing slowly, it would be better to wait for the Allies to come over. With some preparations, they would have a war with the Allies. The Allies currently have more than 1.1 million troops, and some troops need to be guarded. In fact, they came to the central part, there may be only about 700,000, which is quite different from their 1.5 million people, and more than twice the personnel.

In this way, because the Allies opened up a second battlefield, a decisive battle between the Allies and Italy was ready to start at any time. Italy spent a lot of time and finally concentrated 1.5 million troops in the central region. They showed a trend of resistance with the Allies' 700,000 troops, and a large-scale war was about to break out.

The eyes of the two major groups have noticed that the number of the battle is twice as different, but it is finally at the same level. Most countries, including Germany, believe that Italy cannot win, but no matter what, it has a quantity advantage of about twice, and coupled with the advantage of geographical advantages, it should be able to stand up for a while.

However, the development of the matter surprised Germany. The 1.5 million Italian army was really like pasta, and the noodles were deadly. The first one attacked four US military divisions, all of which were like Germany, strengthened their firepower and automatic weapons, and had strong offensive capabilities. Facing the Italian army of 16 divisions on the other side, they launched a brazen attack. With firepower and courage, they broke through the defense of 12 divisions in just one day, drilled a huge hole in the Italian position in the middle, and then continued to move inward. The cooperation of the Allies was undoubtedly here, with the limits and artillery fire and asymmetric strikes, which made Italy unable to defend. The position composed of 1.5 million troops took only 12 days, and after half of the personnel were lost, they fled.

A million-level war, without special forces, no weapons beyond the times, just a conventional attack, made 1.5 million Italian troops flee. As a result, even the main attacker did not realize that the US military was unable to escape when attacking. After all, he was facing Italy, an important member of the Allies, but unexpectedly, this was a blown balloon, which was broken with one stab.

The Allies made such a performance when they debuted in the Apennines for the first time. This was not only beyond Germany's expectations, but also beyond the Allies' expectations. Britain had long received news that the Italian army was very weak, but it was really surprising that it was so weak. The Italian battle was originally scheduled to be between 4 months and a year, and it might not be decided until 1916. But now, with the performance of the Italian army, it can be completely over in at most 2 months.

The Allied Army continued to advance on the Apennine Peninsula and was about to approach Rome, the capital of Italy. Although Italy had pieced together another 1.2 million troops, the Allied Army faced increased from 700,000 to 900,000. The strength comparison between the two sides not only did not decrease, but instead increased. An undercurrent spread in Italy, and some people with interest began to spread. It was wrong to join the Allied Powers. Italy should not join the Allied Powers.

This is the relationship between countries, and even more so for fiction like Italy. If it weren't for the allies, especially Germany, in the early stages of the European War, it performed particularly well, allowing Italy to see the possibility of getting cheap. Italy would not join the allies. This is true in history. According to relations, the relationship between Germany and Italy is better, but Italy has always been shaking and joined the camp of the Allies under the diplomatic mediation of Britain.

Now history has changed. Italy joined the Allies. Although it did not show strong strength, it strengthened the strength of the Allies, allowing the Allies to launch an attack on Italy, opened up a southern battlefield, and mobilized a large number of troops to come. Who knew that Italy was actually a soft persimmon and was not attacked at all.

After defeating this battle, the Allied forces defeated more than 1.5 million Italian troops, and more than 900,000 prisoners were captured. No more than 300,000 people who actually fled back to the north of Italy, and a large number of defeated soldiers ran away.

After winning the battle, the Allied forces stopped in the middle, but the pressure on Italy not only did not decrease at all, but became heavier. The 1.5 million army was made of paper, not only did not cause much harm to the other party, but instead allowed the other party to enter the Fudi of Italy. Italy, which lost more than half of its territory, could not fight at all. Under some strange sounds, Italy, which could bend and stretch, even sent diplomats to London and went directly to find the British.

In a hostile state, people were sent to London, and the intention was to be ignored. Italy has been prepared to withdraw from the war at least. As for the Lizi, as long as the face stock is coming, it doesn't matter. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
