Chapter eight hundred and eighty second deadlock
Keseling's suggestion is very tempting for Cosimo, because this is exactly what all Italians want... There is no danger, you just need to wait for the Allies and Germans to decide the winner and stand on the winning side.
So without considering it much, Cosimo nodded and said, "I have no doubt about this suggestion!"
"In fact!" said Keselin: "I hope you can pass these words on to the Head of Bardoglio, and this promise is equally effective for him!"
"Okay! I'm honored!" Cosimo replied.
In fact, Cosimo was cheering excitedly in his heart... He was about to become the hero who saved Italy.
As expected, a few days later, Germany and Italy reached an agreement.
Of course, this agreement is informal, and Italy has been denying it.
However, Germany and Italy had a rare peace and tacit understanding in the world during this period... Italy appeared to be on the side of the Allies and was enemies with Germany, but Germany's telephone lines relying on the Italian postal communication network have been kept open. What is even more incredible is that the German police are still everywhere in Rome, where Italian people and troops maintain order and ensure traffic... The police force located in Rome has only two companies in total.
Then, truck after truck of ammunition and supplies, as well as supply personnel, were transported from the north to the south... They were not attacked all the way.
It was in this way that Italy "surrendered" to the Allies and finally became the victorious country.
Kesseling's success made Hitler unable to believe that all this was true. Before that, Hitler and all his military advisers in the Supreme Command thought that Kesseling and his Group A were having fun. But the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
In response, Hitler couldn't help but sigh: "I shouldn't regard Italy as an ally, but should treat it as an enemy from the beginning!"
What is reflected in the southern battlefield is that the German Army regained morale and organized defense.
And this was exactly when the British and American troops changed defenses... The US troops had a very smooth battle before. Although the speed of advancement was not fast, they were at least moving forward every day and winning.
As a result, as soon as the British team came up, they wanted to advance at a faster speed than the US army, but they didn't want to kick a steel plate... The German army set a trap for the British army in the area of Casino Mountain, and the British army, who were unknown, plunged in and suffered a crushing defeat.
The British army suffered more losses than the last time the US army was in a vacancies, with more than 5,000 casualties... This is because the British army is eager to make contributions and the German army is more prepared, especially after being chased for so long, the German army wants to vent their anger on the Allies, so the British army has obviously become the target of their venting.
Alexander felt a little confused about this. The Germans had obviously become trapped beasts, but why did they suddenly burst out with such strong combat power?
After knowing that it was the reason why the Italians "released", Alexander couldn't help but make a fuss: "I knew that I shouldn't pin my hopes on Italians, and I can't do anything!"
And this was just the beginning, and the battlefield soon evolved into a tug-of-war between you and me on the defense line, and the British army couldn't help but complain.
But who can blame this?
The British army even asked Alexander himself for his actions, so Alexander could only spit out the bitter taste.
Zhang Chi is very satisfied with this situation.
For this reason, Eisenhower has also looked for Zhang Chi several times.
"Major General!" Eisenhower said: "The battlefield is in a stalemate again. Is there any way you can do it?"
Zhang Chi spread his hands and replied: "General, this is determined by the terrain of Italy. I have reminded you from the beginning, right?"
Eisenhower nodded. Although there was that bet, the United States could still gain benefits from the bet, but there were hundreds of casualties on the defense line every day, and the Allies could never move forward... This was not what he wanted to see.
These things made Eisenhower and Alexander bothered, and Zhang Chi took this time to look inside.
The first thing Zhang Chi did was to transfer the Fifth and Sixth Army of the Zoafu Corps to Italy... The two armies were transferred to Italy not to make them win.
In fact, such a situation similar to a trench war is difficult to break easily, because behind the next high ground is another high ground, one after another, and there is no end to one level after another.
The reason why Zhang Chi transferred these two armies was to train the Fifth and Sixth Army at this time... The battlefield is the best training ground, and everything here is serious. At the same time, the real threat of death will force the soldiers to study hard, because those skills are things that can save their lives.
The French army generally had only two or three high grounds to defend, so Zhang Chi asked the Zoafu Army to take turns to practice just like the People's Liberation Army fought against Vietnam.
What all the Allied forces could not have imagined was that when other troops were afraid of the Germans' night attacks, the Zoaf's army repeatedly defeated the German army at night, and even in turn attacked the German highlands at night and gained a lot.
The reason is that everyone in the Zoafu Army has a scimitar and is very skilled... In night battles, it is often face-to-face when you encounter an enemy, and it is difficult to tell whether it is an enemy or a friend. The bayonet can only be used for assassination and it is easy to lose its effect because the distance is too close.
But if you hold a scimitar in your hand, it is different. First of all, it can be used as one of the characteristics of identifying enemies and me. You can't see the face or see clearly what gun you are using. But if the other party uses a scimitar... then you don't have to think that it's your own people. Secondly, this thing is more suitable for close combat than a bayonet, and you can cut and assassinate, so you often want to kill the attacking German troops in the dark.
This directly led to the German army not even dared to launch a night attack on the high ground where the Zoafu Corps was stationed. For this reason, the German army also called the Zoafu Corps the "Scimitar Team".
After arranging these, there is nothing left to do... After the enemy and us were in a stalemate, the most idle thing was actually the commander, because they were almost repeating those actions every day, capturing which high ground or seizing which commanding heights.
At this time, Zhang Chi sent a telegram to Okinawa to inquire about the progress of the remotely controlled "aircraft missile".
The answer received made Zhang Chi excited: "We have produced a batch of remotely controlled 'aircraft missiles' and have undergone a series of tests, and the results are very satisfactory. Next, we need to conduct actual tests on them!"
"No problem!" Zhang Chi replied: "Italy is the best test site now, bring them!"
