My Italian: Chapter 218 Battle of Tirana Part 2

"My Italian New ( Find the latest chapter!

Under the sunshine in April, the temperature in Tirana is suitable, which is a good weather for traveling.

But now, the atmosphere in Tirana is quite wrong.

Outside the city of Tirana, in the trenches built, Ottoman soldiers are holding weapons and observing the distant scene.

In the distance, it was the position of the Italian army. The incoming Italian army surrounded the southwest of Tirana on two and a half sides, and its cannons were able to penetrate the city of Tirana.

As for the local residents of Tirana, most of them have fled Tirana, which is about to become a battlefield, and a small number of people, apart from being recruited and voluntarily staying, are those lonely old people with inconvenient legs and feet.

And for these old people, the commanders on both sides will not take them into account, because this is war.

Now that both sides are almost ready, the battle is about to start.

In the command of the Italian army, as the commander of this battle, Simeone and his subordinates are determining their respective tasks.

"Major General Pascal, your eighth division, after receiving my order, launch an attack on the Kebek area and the Lake area in the west of the city. You must let the enemy feel the pressure you give."

Although Simeone didn't say it clearly, Pascal had fought a lot of battles, and it was obvious at once that this was to cover himself, so the next must be the 14th Division as the main attack.

Although Pascal was a little reluctant, but the soldier regards obedience as his natural duty, so he can only obey. "As ordered, our Eighth Division promises to resolutely complete the mission."

As Pascal's superior, Simeone still doesn't know the thoughts of his subordinates, but he really can't give him the main task this time. The reason is that the Eighth Division has been fighting all the time before, and its losses are not small, and it cannot be the main task at all.

So Simonyi didn't hear what he said, and then gave a task to Major General Eddie Brasso, the commander of the 14th Division next to him. Major General Brasso is a short and stout middle-aged man, with his dark skin, you can see that he has been exposed to the wind and the sun a lot.

"Major General Brasso, your 14th Division launched a fierce attack on the enemy immediately after the battle of the 8th Division. You must move quickly. I will assign the artillery to you in a concentrated manner to help you open the gap as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Commander, the Fourteenth Division will never let you down."

Major General Brasso's answer made Simeone very satisfied. He looked at it and nodded, expressing his approval.

Then he turned to Colonel Elance, the commander of the Fourth Mountain Brigade.

"Colonel Elance, your fourth brigade's mountain reconnaissance has always been famous in the army. This time I need your brigade to do a good job in reconnaissance and backup work, so that we cannot be attacked by the enemy."

That's right, Simone is most worried about the other units of the Macedonian Second Army in the Dinara Mountains after the battle is launched. Therefore, the investigation and surveillance this time is very important, which is related to the life and death of the Third Army in his hands. And the Fourth Mountain Brigade happens to be very good at this, so there is no reason why he should not use each other.

Of course, it was impossible for the Fourth Mountain Brigade to be dispatched. The strength of the two battalions was enough to cover a radius of 40 kilometers. The movements of the grass and trees here would not be concealed from him.

"Rest assured, Lieutenant General Simeone, none of the Ottomans were more able to sneak past our sight."

After assigning tasks to the various ministries, the next thing will be a brutal battle.

Of course, as a pioneer role, artillery is doing my part.

This time Simone concentrated all the heavy artillery and launched a fierce artillery attack on the army position. As soon as he made his move this time, Simeone fought with pride for a day.

It is now the second day of shelling.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

Heavy artillery shells from Italy made the Ottoman soldiers shivering in the trenches. The explosion of dozens of kilograms of artillery shells was very powerful, enough to cause huge damage to the Ottoman soldiers in the trenches. If the distance is close, then even if you don't get hit, you will be shocked to death.

This was what the Ottoman officers and soldiers saw with their own eyes, and there were more than one or two incidents, which were all killed by close-range explosions. The soldiers who went to check could see these fallen soldiers who seemed to be asleep, with dry blood from their eyes, nose and mouth, which was simply too scary.

Of course, the power of heavy artillery is not only the means of killing personnel, but its strong fortress is also the focus of its bombardment. If the fortress in Tirana was built like various fortresses of foreign powers, then the heavy artillery in Simone's hands would not be enough.

But unfortunately, the fortresses in the hands of the Ottomans were all temporary constructions, and many of them were refitted civil buildings. Although it has a good performance on the regional lieutenant colonel caliber artillery, in front of the large-caliber heavy artillery, it is like a piece of paper.

The fortresses built by the 16th and 31st divisions of the Ottoman defenders on both sides of the southwest lost nearly 70%, most of which were destroyed by heavy artillery. These mighty heavy artillery, guided by artillery balloons, will name the fortress, which is obviously different from the other houses.

These are all weapons of the new era that are different from the Turkish-Russian War. They have taught the Ottoman army, whose minds are still in the Turkish-Russian War, a good lesson on what is a modern war.

After seeing the effect of the artillery bombardment at the rear, Simeone picked up the field phone and dialed the headquarters of the Eighth Division. "Major General Pascal, the Eighth Division can attack."

Following Simeone's order, the Eighth Division immediately threw in a regiment of soldiers and launched an attack on the defenders. The heavy artillery bombardment continued to the rear, obviously this was the purpose of blocking enemy reinforcements.

The news that the infantry attack was finally launched in Italy also gave the defenders a sigh of relief. If they continue to bomb without fighting back like this, the defenders will collapse. How can there be such a prodigal style of play, a shelling can be played for more than a day.

Of course, at this time, you have to tell him what this is. There will be a bombing attack for a week in the future, and the other party will definitely treat you as a fool.

And as the Italian army entered the battle, the battlefield finally entered a familiar environment. The officers and soldiers on both sides each used their rifles to fire desperately at their opponents.

Of course, it's time to look at the performance of the two rifles, and at this point, the Italian officers and soldiers won, because they all held m88 Carcano rifles. Type 1874, there are rifles such as Xia Saibo and its improved Glass~www.mtlnovel.com~ This can be said to be a pain to logistics officials. These guns are a big headache just because of the caliber problem.

Of course, for the Ottoman army now, as long as it can shoot and hit the enemy, it is a good gun, and they have no capital to choose.

Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely in the west, suddenly more violent gunfire broke out in the south. As the commander of the 14th Division, Major General Brasso was a brigade of troops as soon as he made his move, which is really a big deal.

And his unreasonable approach caused the defenders in the west to suffer greatly, and even sent a message directly to the two defender commanders asking for reinforcements.

In the face of such a situation, the two major generals Hasham and Halder still know if the situation is wrong. The two of them didn't have much nonsense, and immediately dispatched the 16th Division and 1st Brigade in their hands.

So a larger-scale battle broke out in the west of the city. The officers and soldiers of both sides threw themselves into the battle, fighting for their respective missions.
