The Sun Never Sets In Spain

At the critical moment, the Prussian Krupp steel guns were ready to shoot. They fired at a distance of 4000 meters, directly suppressing the French artillery and machine guns.

The high terrain is a good cover for the French soldiers. They only need to hide behind when they see the artillery fire. They can greatly guarantee their lives.

But their machine guns and artillery were not so lucky. As the focus of Prussian artillery fire, after only a few hours, most of the heavy equipment could no longer be used.

The fierce battle lasted until the afternoon, during which Frederick III had been trying to restrain the troops and make them retreat, but the effect was not very significant.

In this battle, the casualties of the German army were always greater than that of the French army, but the number of the German army and the artillery was too much. In the end, they succeeded in gaining a foothold in Walter.

The First Army of the French Army could not bear the tragic casualties and returned to Froeskwiller to repair. This time they were equivalent to directly exposing the left wing of the French army to the German army.

However, it was exposed but not completely exposed. The soldiers in the French headquarters retreated. However, with the regiment commander and most of the officers killed in battle, the African soldiers from Algeria still fought in the forest fiercely.

These African soldiers are both cruel and cunning. They use Arabic to encourage each other to deal with the enemy and neither take prisoners nor be prisoners.

Under their tenacious struggle, Prussia was unable to advance from the left-wing breakthrough, and had to first establish a temporary camp on the opposite bank of the Sauer River.

The Battle of Walter is going on here, and on the other side, Alfonso has received a reply from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Perhaps Palermo’s attack gave them a lot of confidence. Emperor Franz’s tone was much stronger than in the past. He promised to do his best to promote the war between Italy, but at the same time he also stated in the letter that it would take time.

At the same time as the letter was sent, the Austro-Hungarian Empire quietly increased its inventory and munitions in Trento under the instigation of the imperial family.

This was quickly noticed by the Italians. During this period, another Sardinian port was attacked, and their nerves became very sensitive.

The small actions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire drew their fierce response-Parliament passed an army expansion bill with absolute superiority. If nothing else, they would have an army of 350,000 in three weeks.

The plan is good, and the government can bite out the money, but a new problem lies in front of Italy...their voluntary military service system in the past doesn't work well!

In the past, because Italy has a large enough population and poor enough people, it is a good way out to be a soldier, so Italy has never lacked a source of troops.

But now that the number of recruits has been expanded in a short period of time, even in Italy, there is a shortage of manpower.

It is not that young and middle-aged men cannot be found in the army, but that the people are unwilling to serve as soldiers.

This is not difficult to understand. Before the World War I outside Rome, Italy broke the world record with a 19:3200 damage ratio.

Even if the government and the army try their best to throw the pot on Cialdini, it is inevitable that the people will murmur in their hearts: Will they be the next cannon fodder?

And everyone has seen the fierceness of Spain, and now they are very likely to be sent to the Roman battlefield when they join the army. They want to make money as soldiers, not to die!

Therefore, on September 27th, three days after the enrollment expansion order was issued, the total number of recruits recruited by the recruiting points in several cities such as Florence was less than 4,000.

If this continues, the recruitment plan will certainly not be completed, and the government and the army are desperate but unable to do anything.

They intend to implement the Prussian compulsory military service system, but the war is imminent and time is too late.

The only way is to win a battle and regain confidence in the country.

So Garibaldi, a firefighter, was once again in danger and became the commander-in-chief of the Italian Volunteer Army and the Italian regular army.

Primm's pressure suddenly increased. With the same number of people, Garibaldi has yet to fail. Moreover, the number of Italians this time is far more than that of Spain.

Garibaldi has never fought such a rich battle!

Sure enough, Garibaldi and Cialdini are two completely different intensities.

As soon as he took office, he reorganized the previously chaotic Italian army, and drew out the machine guns and artillery scattered in each company separately.

Then, according to the plan, they bombarded the walls of Rome day and night.

At this point, it’s okay. The Italian army did the same before. If the city wall becomes ruin, it becomes ruin. It's useless anyway.

But then he didn't know how to contact the navy officer, and miraculously obtained the approval of the other party, and removed nearly a hundred artillery from dozens of old sailing battleships.

When these naval guns fired at Rome, Primm had no choice but to retreat slightly, and the Spanish army suffered more casualties.

Just when everyone thought that Garibaldi was a believer in the doctrine of superior fire mechanics, ready to steadily hit Rome with cannons.

On the night of September 30th, the liberals in Rome raised their anti-flags. They gathered more than 200 people and secretly lurked in eight houses near the Vatican.

As soon as 12 o'clock in time, they armed with light weapons, all the way to the Vatican.

At the same time, the Italian army outside the city also launched an offensive.

It was a rather chaotic night, and Spain and the Papal States had to face both enemies inside and outside the city at the same time.

Moreover, this small rebellious team is very tenacious in combat. They have encountered many counterattacks along the way, but as locals, at night, they are quite flexible.

The remaining troops were ordered not to fire at the Vatican, and could only fight them with light weapons.

The accuracy of the rifle of this era at night is really not flattering, and under the mouse bid, more than 10 people actually rushed into St. Peter's Basilica.

If it weren't for the Pope's eagerness to escape to Castel Sant'Angelo via a secret path, maybe they could really capture the Pope alive, then this battle would not be necessary.

After daybreak, according to statistics, Spain lost 800 people in the night and Italy lost 1,400 people as an offensive team.

Most of the 217 rebels in the city were killed in gun battles or killed by angry Papal soldiers, and only 34 were captured alive.

There was a rebellion here, and Italy just launched the first night battle over there. If there is no connection between the two, no one will believe it.

During the torture and questioning, the rebel soldiers truthfully confessed their origins. A small half of these people were veterans of the Roman Republic, that is, soldiers of the Republic who were not tried after the Roman city was broken in 1848.

Others are either their descendants, or they have developed likes.

As for Garibaldi, Garibaldi was their chief at the time.

Therefore, as soon as they contacted this time, they brought their own dry food and weapons to start the rebellion.
