Bulgarian Empire

Luigi Cadorna is in a good mood now. Since the outbreak of the World War, the morale of his Fifth Army has never been as high as it is now.

Regarding the recovery of Rome, Lieutenant General Luigi-Cadorna thought he had a chance. He had already figured out the deployment of the Allied forces in the city, five Bulgarian infantry divisions plus five French colonial divisions, and some artillery units.

Moreover, these ten infantry divisions have all fought all the way, and they have not had time to replenish their losses. They are all dissatisfied, and their total strength will not exceed 150,000!

The siege of the Italian army has more than 800,000, and they are fighting on the ground. They use 5.3 times the superior force to attack the enemy in the expedition. Naturally, there is no reason to fail.

At the same time, Luigi Cardorna also secretly despised his colleagues. More than 200,000 Italian troops defended Rome, but did not hold on for even a day. It was a shame to throw him at the grandma's house.

He completely ignored that after the Italian government announced its withdrawal from the war, the government immediately held a celebration, which is the "drunk culprit" who lost Rome!

After Italy announced its withdrawal from the war, the Italian garrison in Rome began to take a holiday on its own. As a romantic Italian, how can there be less wine?

I have been holding back for more than a year. I have a rare opportunity to indulge. Naturally, the officers will go to the dance and the soldiers will get drunk.

Then there was no more. Before the Italians could react, the enemy entered the city. In panic, the government Gao Du was busy running away and gave Rome to the enemy!

Of course, these things can't be said out. A proper government black history must of course be hidden. So everyone condemns the shameless behavior of the Allied Powers, and there is no accountability!

...

Luigi Cadorna is familiar with the Roman city, and he knows the weak points of the city defense.

The Chief of Staff said solemnly: "Your Excellency Commander, the 6th Army has issued a combat mission and ordered us to attack on time at 7:20 on September 16th!"

After thinking about it for a while, Luigi Cadorna said vigorously: "September 16 is tomorrow, and we will call back to the 6th Army to attack on time!"

After fighting **** the Western Front for more than a year, he didn't achieve any decent results. Now it's finally his turn to exhale.

Recovering Rome is not the same as attacking France. Now the Italian soldiers have a much stronger will to fight. He no longer has to worry about the soldiers fighting soy sauce.

You should know that when on the Western Front, the Italian army made a lot of jokes, such as to avoid the attack, they shot the opposite side, and lied to the military that the French attacked.

Or maybe it was a sudden emergence of food poisoning for a unit, and the group started to have diarrhea, and the diarrhea was still true, and the painful measures were used very realistically!

More often, when attacking, one rushed out to find a treasured geomancy site and they were killed. Basically, one company was killed every minute, two regiments were killed every hour, and both divisions were killed in the morning. Small meaning, I don't know if you think all the French people on the opposite side are sharpshooters?

When they retreated, one by one was resurrected from the ground and climbed up from the ground to return. In short, with their efforts, the casualties of the Italian army were reduced to the lowest point.

In line with the principle that the law does not blame the public, Luigi Cadorna also took them out of the way, and most of the officers who dared to punish soldiers on the battlefield were killed by stray bullets.

Now Luigi Cadorna no longer has to worry about this issue. At least he hasn't heard the soldiers exchanging life-saving skills on the battlefield recently. Instead, he is cursing the shamelessness of the Allies or discussing **** the enemies in the city.

This is a good start. As long as the soldier has the courage to fight, he believes that the combat effectiveness of the Italian army will not be worse than that of any country!

...

At 7:20 on September 16, as the flare flares went straight into the sky, the Italian army began to attack.

At this time, the genius just started to light up. Under the cover of the artillery, the brave and fearless Italian soldiers took out their life's courage to charge, and then ushered in a shuttle bullet. The Italian soldiers began to fall into the charge one after another. On the way.

Of course, this did not arouse anyone's attention. For the Italian officers, this was a small scene and it was not worth mentioning at all.

On the Western Front, they had seen one or two divisions killed in battle within an hour, and then ordered to retreat after waiting a few hours, and then suddenly died and resurrected.

How many people are killed now? This is almost an hour, and the number of people killed is less than one regiment. It's a trivial matter!

Under the cover of gunshots, they couldn't hear the screams of the soldiers. They couldn't tell whether they were killed in battle or killed in battle. The offensive continued.

With the passage of time, the enemy's line of defense is still as stable as Mount Tai, but Luigi Cadorna has no worries. This is just the beginning.

Luigi Cadorna calmly said: "Send someone to ask, what's the matter with the artillery? Didn't you eat? Why is the hit rate so low today?"

A young staff officer said, "General, I think I should know the answer to this question!"

Luigi Cadorna asked in surprise: "Oh, what's the reason?"

The staff officer replied confidently: "General, the opposite is Rome!"

Luigi Cadorna spit out two words in distress: "Damn it!"

The reason for "Rome on the opposite side" is too strong. It is so powerful that he dare not order the artillery to increase the accuracy. There are too many buildings that cannot be attacked.

In the event that a particularly important building is destroyed, whoever gives the order will bear the responsibility! This is also something that can't be helped. How can one's own family fire unscrupulously?

It's no wonder that when the battle began, the enemy directly abandoned the remote suburbs and fought street fighting in the urban area. This is expected to be a little jealous.

Luigi Cadorna thought with a frown, and if he couldn't use the heavy artillery, what way could he attack?

A staff officer suggested: "General, maybe it is more suitable for us to attack at night. Now our soldiers are exposed to the enemy's line of sight. This will cause too many casualties!"

Luigi Cadorna thought for a while and said, "Well, it's almost time to have lunch now. The idiots on the front line are probably tired. Signal let them come back!"

"Yes!" a messenger staff replied, and walked out of the headquarters after speaking to deliver the order.

...

In the afternoon, the chief of staff walked over and said: "Luigi's situation is very bad, we are in big trouble!"

Luigi Cadorna, who was on his lunch break, rubbed his eyes and asked depressedly: "What's the matter? Can our Chief of Staff make such a fuss?"

The Chief of Staff said frowningly: "This is the number of casualties calculated today. Our Fifth Army alone has caused more than 5,000 casualties!"

Luigi Cadorna said in disbelief: "This is impossible! Do you think our army is a stupid British guy? More than 5,000 casualties in one morning, it must be the people underneath who made a careless mistake. The casualties of a hundred people are against the sky!

You can check it again, I think they missed a decimal point! "

It's no wonder Luigi Cadorna couldn't believe it, he saw a lot of scenes like this during the Western Front.

Unless it is a battle initiated by the French, as long as it is an attack by the Italian army, casualties can usually be well controlled within three digits.

And the famous British Marshal Haig was the object of their contempt, and he could actually set a record of 60,000 casualties a day. If it is replaced by the Italian army, the casualties can definitely be controlled within 600 people.

The chief of staff smiled bitterly and said: "I also think this is a mistake. Unfortunately, I have checked this casualty report three times, and I personally went to the field hospital. It was full of people, most of them were hit by bullets. Hurt!

Our soldiers are too brave. Someone rushed to the enemy's position this time. Many of the wounded were carried back from a distance of one hundred and eighty meters from the enemy! "

Luigi Cadorna was dumbfounded. When did the Italian soldiers become so brave?

You must know that when fighting on the Western Front, a French regiment blocked the Fifth Army's three-day attack, and waited for reinforcements to beat them back.

In the end, Luigi Cadorna could only nodded with a wry smile. The Italian soldiers had indeed become brave, and he was not used to it.

If the Italian soldiers have always been so brave, maybe they are all parade in Paris now, after all, at the beginning of the war, their allies still had a great advantage.

Unfortunately, it is too late now! Seeing the number of casualties this time, Luigi Cadorna was really unhappy. The Fifth Army alone killed more than 5,000 people in one morning. What if several other groups were added? Maybe the strength of the two divisions will be over!

After thinking about it, Luigi Cadorna sighed and said: "We can no longer attack blindly like this. The current situation is different from before. If one is not good, there will be heavy casualties!"

The chief of staff also nodded in cooperation. He suddenly realized that the soldiers had become too brave, which may not be a good thing, at least until they changed their existing tactics.

The chief of staff thought for a while and said: "Let's remind our comrades in arms, if they are careless, the loss will be great!"

Luigi Cardorna smiled bitterly and said: "Well, remind them! By the way, the General Staff will calculate the battle situation and report it directly to the 6th Army, telling them that our Fifth Army has done our best!"

The chief of staff said helplessly: "Okay!"
