At the intersection of a major Italian highway, there is a very tall old tree that can be used to cool off. ⊙, and under the old tree, in the knee-high grass, there is a "SD.kfz.222" armored reconnaissance vehicle equipped by the vanguard of the German Wehrmacht J Army. The main task of this car is not to detect the movements of the Italian defenders, but to guide crowded traffic to the main forces passing here.

"The carriages on the left! There are too many things to pull, and the speed is too slow! Let the infantry go down from the highway! Put the tanks and armored vehicles through here first!" A carriage leader standing at the intersection holding a sign indicating traffic was thrown into the investigation car because the weather was hot.

Teams of German infantry carrying their own equipment and luggage were complaining loudly, and began to jump off the roadbed from the highway. The road became slightly looser. A German-equipped Leopard tank drove past the roadside with a roar because there were too many luggage and two slow-moving carriages.

The base of the German active troops is too huge, so huge that it is impossible to fully realize the mechanization of this troops. Therefore, after the German army equipped tens of thousands of tanks and tens of thousands of cars, it still used a large number of horses. These mules and horses played a very important labor role in the second-line troops.

The J Army is obviously not the most important elite unit of the German army. Although it has been fighting against guerrillas for many years, this unit has rich combat experience, but this still cannot change its fate of seriously insufficient equipment. In addition to the elite 8th Armored Army in this Army and the 10th Armored Division of the SS, most of the infantry are still relying on horses as their mobile transportation tools.

"The Ronnie town in front started fighting. I heard that it was the main force of Italy. An armored force crashed into the vanguard of the 8th Armored Army and the two armored battalions' defense areas." An infantry commander who was riding a tall horse and passing by introduced the news he had just heard to the adjutant who was also riding a horse beside him: "The battle was very fierce, and this time the Italians were really fighting a war."

Italy recorded in history is indeed not very capable of fighting, at least it has always been dragging the Germans back when it did not complete its war preparations. The Balkans and North Africa are typical examples of Italy's defeat and then pulling Germany into the water, so the combat effectiveness of the Italian army is indeed not strong.

But no matter how powerful the troops are, they are actually powerful troops who can fight. Are the troops of the Southern Song Dynasty very good? But they still blocked the 30th year of Menghu in Diaoyu City. At this time, Italy has emerged some troops who dare to fight, and there is actually nothing to be surprised about.

In the town of Ronnie in front, an Italian armored brigade attacked the German troops frantically. After losing more than 20 tanks, the troops gave up the attack and were forced to retreat. However, their efforts were not ineffective. At least they killed the first German soldier since the Germans crossed the Italian border.

The battle in Ronnie Town was actually not large. After only one truck was lost, eight German tanks launched a counterattack and repelled the Italians. As time went on, four hours later, the Italian Army deployed in this direction announced that it would put down its weapons and maintain a continued cooperation relationship with the four divisions of the German J Army.

"I said that it is not easy to get to Rome with our propulsion speed. The Head of State would definitely not mobilize only one unit like ours, what about other units? Or, what about our reinforcements?" In the shaking armored command vehicle, General Hort's adjutant asked his boss: "It's not a secret that the operation has begun now?"

"Yes, it's no secret..." General Hort smiled and answered the questions raised by his subordinates: "In fact, we have never been the main force that recruits Italy. Our true identity is actually the reinforcement force."

After saying that, General Hort pointed to his head and said to his adjutant with pride: "The vanguard who entered Italy this time is not our J Army, but them... those soldiers who advance faster than our armored troops!"

...

In the shaking and dark cabin, German soldiers with oil paint on their faces sat in two rows one by one, holding the mp-44 assault rifle and the g43 semi-automatic rifle in their arms. Perhaps because they haven't appeared for a long time, they are a little afraid that the world will forget them, so this time they set out and are ready to use a new victory to remind their opponents that some things must not be forgotten.

"We are about to arrive at the designated airborne location, gentlemen! Check your parachutes and weapons. I need everyone to be very energetic, pay attention to your feet and around you! Shoot out all the threatening targets!" Borol stood up from the last row of soldiers and walked past his men one by one. This time he still led the soldiers of this battalion to parachute from high altitude to the field, seized the airport and controlled all the Italian military facilities around him.

In the dim cabin, the red alarm light finally went out, and the green parachute diving indicator light lit up in time. The weather was very good, so the field of view was also very good. The pilots quickly discovered the terrain signs they needed to find, so they immediately lit up the green parachute diving indicator.

"Okay! Gentlemen! Jump! Jump! Jump! Let's go down and tell the Italians that they completely wrong this time!" Borol pushed open the cabin door of the plane, then shouted loudly to his subordinates: "Start jump! Follow the other! Stretch your body! Quick! Quick! Quick!"

The German paratroopers jumped out of the plane one after another in the slightly trembling plane. The parachute hanging in the plane pulled open the soldiers' parachutes, and a small white flower connected to each other immediately bloomed in the sky. These small flowers quickly formed into a piece, like dandelions, floating in the wind.

Seeing that all his subordinates jumped out of the plane, Borol finally jumped off his plane. The familiar wind blew on his cheeks, making him feel the long-lost sense of belonging again.

"Damanhul!" He shouted this word in the sky that inspired tens of thousands of German paratroopers. This is the pride of German paratroopers and the proof of their invincibility. Every time he jumped from a plane, he would think of the place full of smoke, on the battlefield in North Africa, because they are well-known in the world.

"Oh my God! Germans! German paratroopers!" An Italian soldier standing on duty on the post looked at the German paratroopers flying all over the sky and screamed in fear: "What the hell is going on? Sir! Sir... Germans! Germans are here!"

He quickly jumped off his guard and ran towards the head of the camp's office. A group of Italian soldiers who had just woken up were shaving their beards and washing up by the pool. Seeing the sentries running by in a panic, they also noticed the groups of German paratroopers descending in the sky in the distance.

An Italian soldier was so scared that he swallowed all the toothpaste in his mouth. They had just received an order this morning to strengthen their vigilance and prevent possible invasions by the German army. However, everyone ignored this order as a joke. After all, the alliance with Germany and the slack combat readiness made these Italian defenders not have the intention to prepare for combat.

Unfortunately, the scene that appears now makes their final fantasy vague. The Germans really came over, and when they appear, it is such a shocking scene that falls from the sky.

"Where is the anti-aircraft gun position? Why not fire?" In the office, the officer on duty who received the news called in a furious manner to question the Yongbei anti-aircraft gun fortifications at the airport. There were 20 anti-aircraft guns, but no one of them opened fire and fired the German army in the sky.

"What does it mean to not get the order to open fire? The Germans invaded! Are you blind? Fight back!" The Italian officer holding the phone heard the excuses from the other side and immediately shouted in anger.

Unfortunately, his roar was completely useless, because there was obviously another person on the other side of the phone. A gentle voice rang, but he spoke in German: "I'm sorry, we have taken over here. If you can understand what I said, please give up unnecessary resistance."

Then the phone number over there was hung up, and the Italian officer here had only blank space in his mind.

Boro was not idle. He hung up the phone in his hand and then took his people to attack the airport. The battle lasted for a few minutes. After several Italian defenders were hit by bullets and died wailingly, the Italian defenders commander at the airport wisely announced his decision to give up resistance.

The German paratroopers were like steel knives piercing into the heart of the Italian defenders. In this chaotic situation, they had an unparalleled effect. Soon all the important towns in northern Italy instantly became occupied by the German army. Turin, Milan, Brescia, Bolzano, Venice, one city after another changed its flags and became cities controlled by the German army.
