Italy has a warm and pleasant climate and is distinctive all year round. Even in the hottest summers, people can feel cooler in shade and indoors, and even feel cool breezes at night.

The spring months in Italy are from April to May, while the autumn months are from October to November.

Originally, on July 22, 1943, when Rommel led a large army to attack Rome, the capital of Italy, it should have been clear and cloudless.

But for some reason, when Rommel was preparing to command the army to annihilate all the Italian king resistance troops in the city or capture them in one fell swoop, heavy rain suddenly started to fall in the sky.

Moreover, this sudden heavy rain, mixed with storms, turned all the rivers and streams in Rome, Italy into rivers with turbulent floods and constant thunders in just half a day.

Suddenly, the mountains, valleys, and rivers with floods were spread all over Rommel's armored army, and their progress slowed down.

To this end, Rommel immediately ordered the engineers to build bridges or pontoon bridges for trucks, armored vehicles, and tanks to pass through.

If none of these works, use a landing craft to carry it across the river immediately.

Fortunately, this storm situation did not hinder Rommel's army from continuing to attack the Italian King's Army in Rome on a large scale.

Because before the storm came, Rommel's elite troops had already fully entered the city of Rome and were engaged in fierce street battles with the Italian King's Army.

However, what bothered Rommel was that he could not immediately dispatch some elite troops to the ancient city of Pompeii to assist Wei Tingguofu in the second-level general in the battle.

In response, he immediately called Chen Yanlong to ask for the other party's opinions and instructions.

Chen Yanlong's reply came very quickly, and it was very simple, that was, he asked him to capture Rome, Italy immediately and arrest all the rebels such as the Italian king as soon as possible.

As for the battle between Wei Ting Guofu's second-level general, Chen Yanlong made other arrangements.

Rommel's heart and self-esteem were also very disappointed with Chen Yanlong's quick reply.

Because he could have captured Rome, Italy and rushed over to help Wei Tingguofu's second-level generals annihilated the 5th Army Group of the US, then his record would be able to restore his previous glory and even go further.

"It's all these damn Italian kings' troops, and the Italian king who hindered my achievements. I must deal with them immediately! These bastards!"

After reading Chen Yanlong's reply, Rommel muttered angrily.

Then he issued an order for a full-scale attack, and at all costs he had to end the battle in Rome within two hours and capture the Italian king alive.

With his orders issued, one heavy artillery with more than 150 mm and 240 mm was bombarded in the sky, regardless of the casualties of the Italians in the city.

A total of 500 heavy artillery pieces were fired, more than 40,000 shells were fired, and the shelling time exceeded an hour.

However, the area where they were ruthlessly bombarded was beyond recognition, with corpses everywhere and black smoke rolling. From a distance, it looked like an area that was bombarded by countless shells and became ruins, making people feel deeply shocked and impacted from the perspective.

"The armored forces and infantry forces attacked me, annihilated all the resisters, leaving no one left, except the Italian king and some high-level Italian officers."

When the artillery fire was covered, Rommel issued a full-scale attack order without thinking.

With his orders issued, armored vehicles and tanks, followed by a large number of infantry, began to advance and attack in battle sequences.

At the same time, more than a dozen German bombers were eyeing the sky, patrolling the hidden artillery points of the Italian King's troops.

"It's so miserable! Our casualties are already serious and we are about to be destroyed. Now the German army has begun a large-scale offensive battle. Should we surrender immediately or continue to fight?"

Seeing Rommel's army being aggressive and fierce, a captain of the Italian King's Army was looking at the major whose arm had been blown off in fear and asked.

"Surrender! We have no combat power anymore, and our King has also and some important officials, taking advantage of the most chaotic battle, and they have become ordinary civilians and left Rome. Our mission has been completed, so there is no need for us to fight to the end with these German troops!"

The major officer of the Italian King's Army endured the severe pain and gasped.

"But we just resisted so fiercely. Will these Germans let us go? Will they accept our surrender?"

The Italian captain shivered with concern.

"May God bless us! I don't know if they will let us go, but we have completed the mission of protecting His Majesty the King from leaving Rome safely, so even if I die, I have no regrets!"

The major of the Italian King's Army smiled bitterly and replied.

"I understand, then I will lead the remaining soldiers to surrender to the German army! I hope they will not kill the surrendered soldiers!"

After listening, the captain of the Italian King's Army also said dejectedly.

"Surrender! We surrender to the German army, you prepare the white flag!"

Then he called out to his subordinates and ordered.

As his order was issued, the remaining soldiers who had almost wiped out all their ammunition and had suffered heavy casualties came out one after another in their hidden area, responding to the other party's surrender suggestion.

Not long after, in those resistance areas that were not covered by German artillery fire and bombarded into ruins, homemade white flags appeared one after another, or many soldiers were sent out to make a declaration of surrender to the German army.

"Martyr Rommel! The remnants of the Italian King's army are surrendering to us now! Do we accept it?"

Just as these remnants of the Italian King's Army were surrendering, a combat staff member hurriedly came to Rommel and reported to him sitting in the armored command car.

"Didn't the Italian king, his important officers, and those rebels like Zinoah, and traitors?"

Rommel asked with a sharp look.

"Not here!"

The combat staff confessed.

"The bastard ran away!"

After hearing this, Rommel cursed unwillingly.

"So should we accept the surrender of these Italian kings' remnants?"

The combat staff asked again nervously.

"Accept it! It's useless to kill these minions. In addition, I sent someone to force the Italian king and Zinoya to find out where they fled! Italian officers and soldiers who are willing to tell their whereabouts can receive a reward!"

Rommel said decisively after a moment of silence.

"Yes! Marshal!"

The combat staff nodded and agreed.
Chapter completed!
