Volume Three Thousand Ancient Miracles Chapter 406 Going to the Italian Front
w This part of the defense line starts from Lumezane, Brescia Province in northern Italy. Lumezane is located in the Tropia Valley. Although it is the second largest town in Brescia Province, the strategic significance here is not important and the population is sparse. The town of Lumezane has only a population of more than 10,000. Wang Maoru's Second Division and Fourth Division of the War Army, plus four labor supplementary battalions, a total of 30,000 to 50,000 people, which is more than the population of Lumezane town. Moreover, the Chinese war army was deprived of the power to transport materials and instead transported by Indians and locals.
However, a few days later, the coalition forces issued another order, handing over the Idro Lake to the Adamelo Mountains to the Chinese warriors to take over. The Chinese warriors said, because this area is the most difficult to walk in the formal Alps. Not to mention fighting to the opposite side, it is extremely difficult to fight to the opposite side. Moreover, the front line is 100 kilometers long, and its 35,000 troops are spread out, and more than a dozen people are placed in each kilometer. How to defend? However, the Austrian hunters on the opposite side did not use the front line to defend, and they were even smaller. Their defense method was to occupy the top of the mountain and mount cannons. People said that the horses were killed when they looked at the mountain. The length and height between the two mountains were simply out of reach. As a last resort, Wang Maoru's army could only adopt the same defense method as the Austrian hunters.
In order to ensure combat effectiveness, he brought an army of more than 18,000 people from the Fourth Division and a total of 20,000 guard regiments, a total of 20,000 troops, and scattered the Second Division and four supplementary battalions on various hills and defensive positions to support each other. Of course, these people did not play any role. Because the morale of the Austro-Hungarian soldiers on the opposite side was low, it was July 1918. After the United States joined the war, the German-Austrian alliance was almost done. In order to facilitate command, Wang Maoru set up the headquarters in the small town of Baglino in the middle of the defense line. On the left is the continuous Alps, Lake Idro and Lake Garda on the right. Of course, there are mountains and mountains here. The temperature is still low, which is indeed not a good place. Wang Maoru also has to scold the Allies all day long for being bastards.
"Bang!" Wang Maoru was so angry that he smashed his kettle on the ground. He said angrily: "How much flour? How much?"
“Thirty tons.”
"Isn't it fifty tons? Why is it so much less?"
"The Indians in charge of transport said that there were losses on the way..." Ma Liang reported depressedly.
Well, after the Indians were in charge of the logistics, the Indians' attitude towards the Chinese warriors was extremely unfriendly, especially the hatred between them in Singapore was irreconcilable. The Chinese were too cruel and massacred Indian rebels in Singapore for more than a year. Even if they surrendered, they were massacred, which angered all the Indian soldiers. No wonder nearly half of the military rations were deducted.
"They must have done it on purpose, they must have done it on purpose, bastard." Staff Officer He Ping cursed, "Su Shuai. Let's protest, protest."
"Protest? Protest your grandma's leg." Wang Maoru said angrily, "Why do you need the army to protest again? Since ancient times, only the only son has protested, so let's not protest." He felt sad. This is really a retribution in his life. He cheated the Indians and the coalition forces. Now he cheated himself together, and he has no place to deal with it.
"It's not a solution." Another adviser Liu Xiangjiu said. Liu Xiangjiu was originally one of the senior teachers of Zhang Zuolin's Fengtian Military Academy. After the Fengtian Military Academy was changed to the Shenyang Branch of Yakeshi Military Academy. Many Fengtian officers were unwilling to stay away from their hometowns, especially after the battle between Wang Maoru and Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuolin was in a slump and could only stay in a corner. Many officers stayed. Liu Xiangjiu was one of them. This time he and several officers were brought out by Wang Maoru and brought with him to temper and cultivate the relationship between the king and the ministers.
"What do Hongde thinks?" Wang Maoru asked.
Liu Xiangjiu said: "It's better to do this. Let's make some noise, otherwise others will really think that we are not going to fight." Liu Xiangjiu said.
"How to do it? Opposite us are the Austrian mountains. Each hilltop is stationed with a platoon of Austro-Hungarian soldiers, and there are cannons behind us. We will die if we go up rashly." He Ping said.
Wang Maoru touched his chin and was at a loss. Liu Xiangjiu said: "We are very famous for doing business with the locals. Why not do business with Austro-Hungarians? Let them think that we are just a waste army that only cares about making money, and then give them a sneak attack."
Wang Maoru clapped his hands and said with a smile: "You are so bad, you are so bad. You have this idea. OK, OK, Staff Liu, you can do it. Zhang Zuolin did not value you before, but his mistake."
Liu Xiangjiu was praised and was very excited and laughed dryly with a humble voice.
When everyone was reminded by him, they thought about how to act. Everyone hurriedly followed this plan and pointed at the map. Staff Officer He Ping added: "We can also apply for a small-scale attack with the above, and then reach an agreement with the Austro-Hungarian Empire to fire two shots a day. In this way, when we attack, the army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire opposite will be careless."
Gong Xiaoqi said: "You are thinking well. Will the Austro-Hungarian team be fooled?"
"No matter whether he is deceived or not, even if he is not deceived, we have nothing to do." Liu Xiangjiu said.
Wang Maoru, Gong Xiaoqi and others laughed and said, "It's indeed a good idea."
Then Wang Maoru appointed He Ping to do this. He Ping was promoted directly as a college student and had a high understanding. He learned to speak simple Italian these days. He found the local people to ask the people from the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the other side how to contact them. The local people had no feeling about the war between the two countries. After all, Bagolino was not a strategic point, and the local area was mountainous, so the army could not even carry out its operations.
Wang Maoru's 20,000 troops were in the town of Bagolino. In fact, the uneasiness brought to this town was far greater than the stability of the coalition forces. After all, people of different races lived together and were indeed suspicious of each other. However, the soldiers in the squadron seemed to have all their pockets full of money, which brought prosperity to the town of Bagolino. Even prostitutes from other places went to Bagolino to do business, making the flesh-and-skin business here prosperous.
Long Ergou and his team grabbed a bag of money in Singapore, and later learned that there were more than 200,000 pounds in this pocket. The Indian rebels robbed a bank and let them reap the benefits of the fishermen. After paying most of the money, each of them still had two or three thousand pounds in their hands, which was enough for them to squander. However, Chinese soldiers were stingy and were not willing to spend money like other troops. This happened to be the rest of their class. The squad leader Zang Hao and his subordinates, machine gunners Lao Huang, Lao Fang, Diao Delong, Lao Shu, submachine gunner Xiao Fuquan, Li Erpao, Long Ergou, Ren Baiteng, Geng Ming, and the recruits who were recruited in Singapore, Yuan Zhihua, who was wearing white shirts, tied, and military boots and trousers, were walking in the small town of Merano in a look.
It has been three months since I came to Italy. Everyone has learned a little Italian, such as "ciao", how much is "quantolira", looking for a local prostitute, "sesso", and beer is "unbicchieredibirra", and bitches are "puttana", etc. Of course, the fastest thing I learn is still swearing, and those who are in the army will become dirty without speaking. Wouldn't you be sorry for your identity?
Diao Delong was a slut, and he heard him say, "Bench, bench, stool, how did you say that your parents gave you this name and stool? What a broken name? Did you do it on the bench when you were pregnant with you?"
"I did it on the bench when I was pregnant with your father." Ren Banding cursed.
Everyone laughed and Diao Delong said, "Tell me, what's going on? Brother, I'm serious, I want to ask you why this broken name is."
Ren Banding said angrily: "What is a broken name? It's named by our local customs. If you don't know, don't be fooled by the vernacular."
"Oh, I'll go, what a bad custom, I'm calling it the name on the bench." Diao Delong laughed. "Look at my name, Delong, Delong. When my mother was pregnant with me, she dreamed that a dragon entered my mother's belly, so our local gentleman gave her a name, called Delong."
Lao Fang said in surprise: "So that's how your name comes from."
Diao Delong said proudly: "It's not that."
Lao Fang said, "Don't you mean, you are Longsheng, aren't you a human being? " Everyone laughed loudly, Diao Delong was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to beat Lao Fang. Lao Fang laughed and hid, and accidentally bumped into a Westerner. He saw this man staggeringly, obviously drunk too much. When he saw these Chinese people, he angrily said, "puttana!"
"I'll fuck you!" Everyone naturally understood the Italian swear words, and Lao Fang immediately cursed.
"He doesn't understand Chinese in the old house." Diao Delong reminded.
"Puttana, your whole family!" Lao Fang immediately cursed.
This Italian is a mountaineer from the Alps. He has a tough and aggressive personality. When he heard him, he immediately hugged his old fist. The old house accidentally was punched in the eye and immediately squatted down with a star. The Italian laughed.
"Old house, stand up and fuck him." Zang Hao and others shouted at the side with their throats.
Lao Fang scolded, "Fuck you, you're a sneak attack on me." He kicked the mountain man in the crotch. The mountain man was drunk too much, and was put on the crotch by someone, and immediately fell to the ground with a whistle. Lao Fang rushed up, and the old fist opened his bow and hit him left and right. The Italian mountain man also resisted the beating. After being beaten a few times, he couldn't feel the pain in his lower body. He rolled over and turned the old house to the ground, and the two of them rolled up.
Zang Hao and others formed a circle and shouted to come on. The Italians passing by also felt that it was lively. Fighting in this place was too normal, so they stopped to watch the lively. The old house was really brave and was unambiguous to the Italians who were half a head taller than him. The Italians were also thick-skinned and swung their old fists to each other. However, the old house had been injured on the shoulder and was hit by the Italians with a punch. He called out, and jumped away quickly and scolded: "Your uncle, hit the wound." Welcome to your support, which is my greatest motivation.m
