"Dear German Commander, please pass this trustee to my wife, and I will pay the deepest respect to you. Your enemy, Diago."

Wang Weiyi sighed: "Let me find someone to bring Colonel Diago's letter back, and please bury the colonel's body."

Although the combat effectiveness of the Italian army is ridiculous, Colonel Diago alone is undoubtedly worthy of respect.

Udine fell into the hands of the Skeleton Commando.

Since the Battle of Capoleto broke out, the Skeleton Commando has never had such an easy battle. They have barely encountered any strong resistance.

The most "stubborn" time was probably in Udinette. But in fact, they didn't have much effort.

About two thousand prisoners were captured, the fleeing Italian soldiers and the members of the Skeleton Commando were not even bothered to chase them.

But there is not that big prisoner camp to house so many prisoners

The Italians in Udine also gradually calmed down from their initial panic, and they found that the Germans entering here were not as fierce as they imagined.

Even, they had a strong curiosity about the huge tanks

The capture of Udine is not just a battle for a city, but directly threatens the flanks of the Italian army!

General Cardorna, the commander-in-chief of the Italian army, was worried that his army would be completely wiped out, so he issued an order to retreat on October 27.

At this time, the attack of the 10th Army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the 11th Army also launched an attack, forcing the Italian Karni cluster and the 4th Army to retreat.

As a result, the Italian army began to retreat completely on the front line of more than 3,000 kilometers. The Italian army command lost its command ability to the troops. The soldiers threw away their weapons, artillery and military supplies fled everywhere.

The first phase of the Battle of Capoleto ends.

During this stage, the German and Austrian coalition won brilliant victories, and among them, only one of the most shining stars deserved:

Skeleton Commando!

This magical team captured Tolmezo and Udiné in a row, which was a rapid advancement result that no one could guess before the battle began

Now, it's General Von Bello's turn to have a headache.

He had promised the Skeleton Baron that if he could seize Udinette, he would have to find a way to win the Great Iron Cross for him in front of His Emperor.

General Von Bello just said it casually that the task of attacking Tolmezo was already very difficult, and it was impossible to capture Udinette. Who would have thought that the magical Skeleton Baron actually completed both tasks excellently!

What a pride of Germany!

But after General Von Bello was excited, he had to make things difficult again. How did he fulfill his promise? Is a colonel awarded the Great Iron Cross? This is impossible.

But a general's promise must be fulfilled

Wang Weiyi would not have thought that General Feng Belo had this idea. What he had to do now was how to strengthen Udine's defense. Once the German and Austrian coalition turned offensive to defense, this place would become a very important strategic location.

He had ordered General Stodra to transport all the Italian supplies seized in Tolmezo to Udinette, and to mobilize all the trucks. These supplies were enough for them to stick here for a long time.

Thanks to the Italians

The positions that the Italians had previously dug were being reinforcing. On the front battlefield, Wang Weiyi arranged a large number of machine guns, and the density had reached a very terrible level.

Once the enemy attacks, Udinette will become their nightmare

A large number of mortars were all in place, and the whistling shells would make the enemy very regret why they had to launch an attack. The tanks all entered their combat positions, waiting for the future to show their might when the war began.

Arranged on the front line, Wang Weiyi unexpectedly chose Lieutenant Model.

It’s time for the “iron wall” Model to show his majesty.

Once the 62nd Infantry Regiment commanded by Colonel Stodra transports all its supplies, it will also be deployed into the defensive battle in Udinette.

It's not possible to rely on the 1,200 people from the Skeleton Commando.

What Wang Weiyi needs to do is to exchange the smallest casualties for the greatest victory.

His subordinates all had some strange things. Judging from Colonel Ernst's performance, it seemed that a great war would break out in Udine.

God knows why Colonel Ernst knows in advance what happens in the war every time.

Wang Weiyi even specially hired a large number of local Udinese people to join the renovation of the fortifications, and he wanted to turn Udinese into a solid wall.

Most of the prisoners of war were sent to the prisoner-of-war camps in the rear. Since the Battle of Capoleto, there have been thousands of prisoners transferred by the German and Austrian troops, but it is rare for a commando of more than a thousand people to catch so many prisoners.

Some Italian soldiers stayed in Udinette because of need, including Lieutenant Colonel Steno

The Lieutenant Colonel did not have time to run away, and he became a prisoner of the Germans. However, when he was about to send him to the prisoner-of-war camp in the rear, Lieutenant Colonel Steno refused the request.

He met the legendary skeleton Baron Ernst Breme, who told the Baron that he begged to stay in Udine, in addition to accompanying Colonel Diago who committed suicide, he also wanted to take care of the wounded.

During the Battle of Udine, the strong German shelling injured many Italian soldiers, some of which were seriously injured and could not be sent to the rear, and they were forced to stay in Udine. Lieutenant Colonel Steno did not want these soldiers to die like this.

What surprised Wang Weiyi was that Lieutenant Colonel Steno was once an excellent student in the medical school. It was just a chance that he entered the army and became a Lieutenant Colonel.

After contemplation, Wang Weiyi agreed to the lieutenant colonel's request

"I prefer to be a doctor than the army." After examining a wounded man, Lieutenant Colonel Steno told his enemy, Ernst Bryme, who defeated him: "War makes people bleeding and die, but doctors are used to save lives. These are two completely different professions, but I have done both professions now."

To be honest, although these Italians acted very ridiculous on the battlefield, when the smoke of war dissipated, some of their words were still thought-provoking.

Wang Weiyi nodded in agreement: "You obviously don't want to do many things, but you have to do them. Those you like to do can only be helplessly put aside. Lieutenant Colonel Steno, please forgive me for being direct. I don't think you are a good soldier, but maybe you can try to be a good doctor."

"I agree." Steno was not angry at the other party's "rudeness" at all: "The war will end sooner or later, right? What else can the soldiers do at that time? Colonel, I have thought about it a long time ago, no matter whether Italy defeated or failed in this war, I would take off my military uniform and do what I like. So what about you, Colonel? Do you love your profession? Have you ever liked to be a soldier from the beginning?"

Wang Weiyi didn't know how to answer for a moment, and Steno continued: "I have heard of your name countless times. You are the birther of miracles on the battlefield. I have always been very surprised before. Did you be a soldier all the time? Or do you have any other hobbies?"

"I don't know." Wang Weiyi told him frankly: "I have asked myself this question many times, but I have never been able to give an answer. This is a dangerous profession. I have to face death all the time. But I have no choice. I have to do this job to the end, otherwise I don't know what will happen."

He sighed softly, war, perhaps in his life, war will never stop for a moment, unless a bullet hits his heart in the future, he will be able to end such torture

"No one has a choice." Although I don't understand what Colonel Ernst said very well, Lieutenant Colonel Steno said with a deep sense of empathy: "It's ridiculous that God has arranged all this and I stand with you. You are a perfectly equipped war machine, and my greatest ideal is to save people."

"A war machine with perfect assembly"? This is the first time Wang Weiyi has heard someone call him that.

Lieutenant Colonel Steno said to himself: "The person who saved people encountered a murder machine, and failure on the battlefield is naturally inevitable. But I think one day you might ask me to help me with a doctor. Things in the world are so strange. What do you think, Colonel?"

These words made Wang Weiyi stunned for a moment.

Yes, maybe one day I will really need this doctor's life to help me. Who can know what will happen in the future? Not only Lieutenant Colonel Steno, but maybe some day I will need their help from those enemies in my past.

For example, the former British Lieutenant Colonel Rosen, if it were not for Lieutenant Colonel Rosen, it would not have been so easy for him to escape from court.

Sometimes the relationship between enemies and friends is very subtle.

I think I have to pay more attention to this in the future.

After bandaging a wounded man, Lieutenant Colonel Steno stretched his arm: "When the war is over, what will you deal with us prisoners? Shoot us or put us back?"

"I don't count on this, Lieutenant Colonel." Wang Weiyi pulled himself back from his thoughts: "If it were my own wish, I would be willing to let you go back, but unfortunately the war is not over yet."

Lieutenant Colonel Steno smiled, not caring about his words: "I think we will go home sooner or later."
