The Third Reich: The Return of the King
Chapter 61
After discovering that their rear road had been copied by the Germans, the Italian troops on the front line suddenly couldn't sit still.
They began to suspect that the German army was definitely not as small as they thought, otherwise, the Germans would not even be able to fill the battle line, where would they have extra troops to attack them?
The Itali people on the front line speculated that the German army opposite them had at least about 150,000 to 250,000 troops, otherwise, the German army would not have had the courage to take the initiative!
As soon as they thought of this, they were so scared that they no longer dared to take the initiative to attack the Germans, and they began to shrink their defensive lines, intending to hold on and wait for reinforcements!
However, the amount of food consumed by the 100,000 army to eat and drink every day was staggering, plus the battle also required the consumption of weapons and ammunition, and the wounded also needed medicine for treatment, and these materials needed to be transported from the rear.
At this time, their rear road was cut off by the Germans, and if they sat idly by, it would not be a few days before the Italian army at the front would have to run out of food.
People are iron and steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry!
If there is no food, they will starve to death in this ravine!
Therefore, the Italian had no choice but to send troops back to attack the Germans and try to recapture the logistics base.
20,000 people were frightened along the railway, because they were afraid of being ambushed by the German army, so this army was grinding and grinding, and it took 3 days to arrive.
When they arrived in Karnia, they found that the Germans had long since disappeared without a trace, leaving them with only a dozen burnt warehouses!
Seeing this scene, the Italian army suddenly looked at each other!
Although they were lucky enough to open the passage and recapture the strategic fulcrum that was very important to them, all the materials they had hoarded here were burned, which means that they are still facing a huge food crisis!
Therefore, the Itali people hurriedly reported the situation to the front line, and at the same time hurriedly reported to the capital Romer area, asking Rome to provide them with emergency food and grass assistance!
After hearing the news, Roma was a little shocked, how did this battle be fought, why did he ask for a batch of grain and grass in just a few days?
Didn't they bring a lot of grain and grass with them when they went out a few days ago?
Because it was not long after the end of the First World War, the situation was not good at this time, and the situation was not good, and it was not a strong country in the first place, but only a second-rate country in Europe, and the economic consumption of the war was very huge, so at this time, the situation of the Italian and other European countries after the war was the same, there was a situation of soaring prices.
Although the Idully attached great importance to the request from the front, ten supplies were not a small amount, and it took them six hours to raise them, and by the time they loaded them onto the train and transported them to the front, it took another day!
Because of the shadow of the German sneak attack, the Italian army faced a shortage of supplies for more than a week, and in this more than a week, the soldiers in the army already knew the news that their supplies had been burned, so the morale of the soldiers was declining at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Originally, they were asked to storm the German defense line, which had already dampened the morale of the soldiers because of a large number of casualties, and at this time, it was affected by this bad news in the rear, and the morale of the Italian troops on the front line was suddenly completely lost, and some troops even refused to fight!
And they have little will to fight, which does not mean that the Germans are the same!
Encouraged by the news of the victory of the friendly forces, the German morale was greatly boosted, and not only did they constantly harass the Italian army during the day, but also sent some small units to attack the Italian from time to time at night.
Small groups of German troops continued to appear near the camp of the Italins, attacking their sentries, and after a few days, more than a hundred of the Sentries were killed, which caused a lot of panic to the Istellians, and the soldiers were reluctant to go to the sentry, even if they were forced to go out, they did not dare to leave their barracks too far, because the enemy's night attack was too terrifying!
However, although the Germans did not have a good way for a while, if the Germans did not come out, the initiative would completely fall into the hands of the Germans!
Moder was bold and careful, he ordered the Germans to bypass the Italian army, swagger south along the railway, and then blow up six or seven railway bridges along the line!
It is very, very difficult to build a railway in this part of the Alps, and there is nothing more difficult than building a railway bridge in these places!
After the Germans destroyed these railway bridges, the 100,000 Yiduli troops in the north were completely cut off from the rear and became the turtles in the urn of the German army!
However, Moder had no interest in this temporarily incapacitated Italian army, because they were all retracted into their turtle shells, if the Germans took the initiative to attack, they would definitely suffer heavy losses under the artillery fire of the Germans, and once the enemy found out that they only had 10,000 troops, the Italian might regain their confidence and take the initiative to attack them, if so, the situation would be very disadvantageous to the German army!
So Moder gave up the big fat sheep in front of him, and he divided the German army into several groups and sent them south to go deep into the territory of Italy to wreak havoc!
In order to gather 100,000 troops to attack, the Itali people almost exhausted the troops in the northern part of Italy, at this time there were hardly many troops in various places, and because they knew that there was a 100,000-strong army on the front line, they were not worried about their own security at all.
For more than half a month, from October 12 to October 29, the Germans attacked dozens of towns around Udine.
The Germans were very skillful in attacking, they would scout the towns they were attacking in advance, and if they found that the enemy was well-defended and had enough troops, they would abandon the target and find other targets that were easier to attack!
And if it is found that the opponent is negligent in defense and does not have too strong vigilance, then the Germans will attack unceremoniously.
Although the German attack did not result in a terrible massacre, they almost completely destroyed the towns they had captured, and the people in the towns were escorted out with armed escorts.
Soon, an army of more than 500,000 refugees appeared in northern Italy, and after gathering this army, it began to advance towards Weys!
Now, the Italian government is really starting to have a headache!_
