My Italian: Chapter 133 There is always 1 suitable
The smoke filled the city of Mara, and the sound of gunfire from time to time made people realize that the enemy had not completely given up their resistance.
However, the result of the battle will not change. The city of Mara, which has been breached, has no room for resistance. Although the resistance of the Abyssinians was fierce, previous battles had left these brave East African warriors intimidated.
Cosenz felt lingering fears when he thought of the Abyssinian counterattack in the morning.
That time, the 3rd regiment of the guards that was launching an attack had just approached the city of Mara and was not ready to blast the city gate. rushed out from inside.
This was completely beyond the expectations of the officers and soldiers of the 3rd regiment of the guards, which made them feel a little caught off guard. Although then under the order of the officer, the soldiers opened fire on the rushing enemy with their guns. But in the end, it was different from the calm and calm time. The fire this time did not stop the Abyssinians. They rushed towards the three regiments of guards with weapons. The fearless look on his face made Cosenz feel that he might have to explain it here.
At this time, thanks to the support firepower of the rear positions, the suppression of artillery and Maxim machine guns allowed them to withstand the enemy's offensive.
As the commander, Major General Wagman immediately took out three infantry battalions for emergency support, which repulsed the Abyssinian attack, and followed the enemy when the enemy retreated. After conquering the gate, let the battle begin in the city of Mara.
At present, the battle in the city is coming to an end, and it is expected that the rebels will be wiped out in less than a while.
Thinking of this, Cosenz couldn't help but look at the prisoners in front of him again. These were the Abyssinians who had surrendered to Italy, and they were being guarded by a company under the command of Cosenz.
The prisoner he was staring at had a worried expression on his face, and the fear in his eyes could be seen by anyone. This made Cosenz think that what he saw in the morning was a hallucination of his own.
"Look what I found?"
Just when Cosenz had an association with this, his friend Barry found him with a mysterious face.
Cosenz watched his friend secretly open a bag full of stems, leaves, and seeds of some plants, which made him curious.
"what is this?"
Facing the expression on his friend's face that he didn't know, Barry said with a smile. "That's why those Abyssinians are not afraid to die."
Hearing his friend's words, Cosenz curiously picked it up and smelled it, and a choking question made him sneeze several times in a row.
"What flavor?"
"It's the smell of marijuana."
"marijuana!"
Barry's words startled Cosenz, because he had never touched the thing before. But although he has never touched it, he knows its effect.
"No wonder these Abyssinians are so heroic. It's the temptation of the devil."
Well, it looks like Cosenz is still a Catholic.
"Yes, this is the temptation of the devil."
The friend looked like he was getting rich and repeated his words.
"You don't want to sell it, do you?"
Cosenz, who saw through his friend's mind, showed an incredible expression.
Cosenz's words made Barry quickly restrain himself. "Cough... how is this possible, I'm going to find a place where no one else is and destroy it."
"Well, let's go and destroy these dirty things together."
Cosenz, who saw through his friend's tricks, was worried that he would act alone.
"Ah, my stomach is upset and I need to go to the toilet."
Barry, who was punctured, immediately made a last move, and then he slipped away like a rabbit without looking back. Running so fast, don't worry about pulling it into the crotch.
Seeing his friend's actions, Cosenz could only helplessly shake his head.
For junior officers like Cosenz, winning the battle is what matters. However, for Major General Wagman, who commanded this battle, the battle of Mara was useless, and it did not achieve its purpose at all except to capture Mara.
"These Abyssinians are cowards."
Well, it seems that what Major General Wageman wants to wait is not the garrison of Mara City, but the main force of the Abyssinians. When he set off, Simeone gave him a face-to-face opportunity.
According to Lieutenant General Simeone's analysis, if the Abyssinians want to keep the enemy out of the country, then Mara is the best choice. Because it is located between the Abyssinian Plateau and the Eritrean Mountains, the ravines here are very helpful for the enemy to hide their forces.
Therefore, Major General Wagman should be aware of possible dangers when attacking Mara. This is also the reason why Major General Wagman only let the three regiments of the guards attack with a force of 8,000 people.
It is a pity, however, that Mara was all shot, and the Abyssinians did not ambush themselves in Mara.
That's right, Major General Wagman just hoped that the main force of the Abyssinians would ambush him in Mara, only in this way could he catch its main force and make himself a miracle. You must know that this time he brought enough supplies and ammunition, and he also had a powerful defensive weapon, the Maxim machine gun, which also brought a full 38.
It's a pity that God didn't hear his prayer and let the Abyssinians escape.
But it doesn't matter, the fast method won't work, then the slow one can make these **** Abyssinians obediently come and die.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and said to the messenger beside him. "Immediately inform General Simeone that our army has taken the horse and awaits further instructions."
"As ordered, General."
...
Major General Wagman took Mara, and in less than two days, Simeone knew.
After reading the report in his hand, Simeone said to the chief of staff beside him. "It seems that our enemy is very clever, and the first plan did not work."
In the face of Simone's words, Bartlett, the chief of staff, said indifferently~www.mtlnovel.com~ It doesn't matter, don't we still have a backup plan, so it's good to start the backup plan. "
In order to deal with various situations in the war, Major General Bartlett, who was from the staff, made a lot of plans. It's just that in order to finish the war as soon as possible, the method of leading snakes out of holes was adopted first.
Seeing that this method is useless, then it's okay, there is still a plan. These are all carefully prepared by Bartlett for the Abyssinians, and there is always one for them.
"Then next, we need time to repair the road to Mara."
Simeone is talking about the most important thing at the moment.
"That's right, it also takes time to contact the Sudanese."
With the two decided, a new round against the Abyssinians began.
As for whether the Abyssinians know about Italy's actions, it is necessary to ask the Johannes IV to know.
However, the performance of Italy's immobility after the capture of Mara made the emperor a little distressed.
