During the North Africa campaign, Rommel was able to equip the German armored division and light armored division with his command, with a large number of anti-tank guns; as well as the Mark 3, Mark 4 tanks, and the German famous 88mm anti-aircraft guns; he felt that his mechanized troops were invincible in the world.

But now he was equipped with Chen Yanlong, and he was equipped with the Leopard tanks, Tiger tanks, T-54 medium tanks, a large number of 88mm anti-tank guns, and powerful air support. After he suddenly felt that the African battle he had been fighting before was simply a play, not worth mentioning.

Especially when he thought of the Mark 3 tank, which had only a 37mm gun, and his biggest weakness was that the front armor was only 30mm weak, and the 75mm gun of the Mark 4 tank, which greatly slowed down the tank's travel speed because the gun body was too short, he felt that the mechanized troops he now had were more powerful and up-to-date.

At the same time, he was very impressed that if he could have the current mechanized troops and advanced tank types when he went to North Africa to fight, the African battle would have been another ending, and maybe it might be.

At least he believed that after he trained the tank troops, he could definitely defeat the British and American troops in terms of high mobility and coordination in coordinated combat; and after experiencing the cruel African battle, he knew more confidently that even if his mechanized troops could not defeat the opponent's troops, he could definitely give Montgomery's troops a bloodletting.

"Report! Marshal! The encirclement we implemented on Rome has been completed. Please issue new combat instructions!"

When Rommel looked at the German troops that had completed the encirclement and sighed at the change in his strength, a messenger suddenly came to him in a hurry and respectfully reported the military salute.

"Did the Italian army in Rome surrender immediately?"

Rommel asked lightly.

"not yet!"

The messenger responded immediately without thinking.

"So is there anything coming to us?"

Rommel continued to ask.

"No!"

The messenger continued to answer truthfully.

"Didn't my last spy be passed to the Italian king Emmanuele III?"

Rommel frowned and continued to ask.

"They have been successfully passed on as the marshal's order, but the other party did not respond at all! And he also ordered the Italian army in Rome to fight against our entry!"

The messenger suddenly replied with a little nervousness.

"Then pass on the latest combat orders to me and attack the city immediately!"

Rommel waved his hands.

"Yes! Your Excellency Marshal!"

The commander immediately replied loudly.

Then he hurriedly called Rommel's combat order to various troops and sent Rommel's combat orders.

As soon as the order was reached, the German gunners kept loading bombs, aiming at the Italian positions in the city of Rome, and quickly pouring out a large number of rains of shells.

For a moment, amid the rumbling shelling, incendiary bombs, grenades, smokescreen bombs, and white phosphorus bombs fiercely bombed the Italian army's positions, causing chaos to blow up the Italian army, with many casualties, and also fled a large number of them in panic.

As for the Italian Army's tanks, the tanks M13/40 and its improved M14/41 "medium" tank groups were also destroyed by German armour piercing bombs, incendiary bombs, and anti-tank guns.

Faced with the tank group of Italy whose performance is far less than that of Germany's No. 12 and No. 12 tanks, and whose armor is weak, the protection is poor and the inclination is not as good as the tank group of the leopard, tiger and T-54 tanks commanded by Rommel, which is simply a lamb that has no power to fight back and is waiting to be slaughtered.

Therefore, before the German-Italy tank battle broke out, many dead or dying Italian tank drivers were already lying down in the entire Roman city. As for the Italian gunners in the tank, and the Italian soldiers following behind the tank, they were either covered by German artillery fire, or bombed into slags by the fire of the tank group, or burned into black men by incendiary bombs, black carbon, or bombed unrecognizable on the ground where the smoke was rolling and the war was ripped out.

The remaining more than 30 Italian tanks faced Rommel's fierce and powerful tank group like wolves and tigers, and directly surrendered with a white flag.

As for the Italian defenders in Rome, after Rommel's artillery fire lasted for more than three hours, many Italian soldiers were either killed or injured. Many of them lost their will to fight and were ready to surrender with the white flag.

However, under the strict resistance order of the Italian king, they bravely continued to attack fiercely with great force against the German troops.

However, these Italian troops were not brave enough. Under the large-scale bombardment of Kesselin's aviation troops, there were no dead Italian soldiers left; more than 70% of the soldiers threw down their weapons and equipment and surrendered to the German troops who had already attacked Rome.

"Your Majesty the King is not good! Our army is all defeated, and many of the remaining soldiers have surrendered to the German army! And those who have not yet surrendered are also trying to retreat while drinking the German army in street fighting!"

When the Italian troops in Rome were defeated by the German army, a guard captain ran over and shouted with a pale face and ran to the court where the Italian king Emanuele III was located.

But when he ran all over the Italian palace and could not search it, he still did not see the Italian king Emanuele III, and even Mussolini's son-in-law Ziano was missing.

"Huh! Where is His Majesty the King? And the Queen! Why are they gone? Where have they gone?"

Finally, the guard captain shouted loudly in the chaotic palace with confusion.

But now the people of the entire Italian palace are busy packing their parcels and running away with valuable things, so no one answers him or pays attention to him.

But at this moment, he suddenly found that the guards under him, as well as the elite guards of the Italian king Emanuele III, were all missing, and no guards could be found.

"This...what exactly happened? Why do everyone seem to have disappeared from the world?"

Regarding such a strange phenomenon, the guard captain muttered to himself with even more questions.

However, at this time, Rommel and himself led the troops, riding in an invincible posture, and majesticly led the mighty army of tanks and infantry into the city of Rome.
