My Italy

The city of Mara was filled with smoke, and the gunfire from time to time made people realize that the enemy had not completely given up resistance.

However, the outcome of the battle will not change. Mara City, which has been breached, has no room for resistance. Although the resistance of the Abyssinians was fierce, the previous battles had broken the courage of these brave and capable East African warriors.

Cosentz felt frightened even when he thought of the Abyssinian counterattack in the morning.

That time, the Third Guards Regiment, which was launching an attack, had just approached the city of Mara. Before they were ready to blast the city gate, the gate of Mara opened wide, and countless painted Abyssinians, Rushed out from inside.

This was completely beyond the expectations of the officers and soldiers of the Third Guards Regiment, making them feel somewhat unprepared. Although under the orders of the officers, the soldiers fired at the enemies who rushed out with their guns. But after all, it was different from the calm and calm time. This time the firing did not stop the Abyssinians. They rushed towards the 3rd Guards Regiment with weapons in hand. The fearless look on his face made Cosentz feel that he might have to confess here.

At this time, thanks to the support firepower from the rear positions and the suppression from artillery and Maxim machine guns, they were able to withstand the enemy's offensive.

As the commander, Major General Wagman immediately sent out three infantry battalions for emergency support. Only then did he repulse the Abyssinian attack, and when the enemy retreated, he followed the enemy. The gate was captured and the battle began in Mara City.

The fighting in the city is now coming to an end, and it is expected that the rebels will be wiped out in less than a while.

Thinking of this, Cosentz couldn't help but look at the prisoners in front of him again. These are the Abyssinians who surrendered to Italy. They were detained together, and the company responsible for guarding them was the company commanded by Cosentz.

The prisoner he was staring at had a fearful and uneasy expression on his face, and anyone could see the fear in his eyes. This made Cosentz couldn't help but think that the scene he saw in the morning was his own hallucination.

"Look what I found?"

Just when Cosentz was thinking about this, his friend Barry found him with a mysterious look.

Cosentz watched his friend secretly open a bag, which contained some plant stems, leaves and seeds, which made him curious.

"What's this?"

Barry said with a smile when he saw his friend's expression of confusion. "That's why those Abyssinians are so brave."

After hearing his friend's words, Cosentz curiously picked it up and smelled it, and asked a pungent question that made him sneeze several times in a row.

"What does it smell like?"

"It's the smell of marijuana."

"marijuana!"

Barry's words shocked Cosentz because he had never touched this thing before. However, although he has never touched it, he knows its effects.

"No wonder these Abyssinians are so heroic, it's the temptation of the devil."

Well, it seems Cosentz is still a Catholic.

"Yes, this is the devil's temptation."

My friend repeated his words with a rich look on his face.

"You don't want to sell it, do you?"

Cosentz, who had read through his friend's thoughts, showed an incredulous expression.

Cosentz's words made Barry quickly restrain himself. "Ahem...how is this possible? I plan to find a place where no one is and destroy it."

"Well, let's go destroy these dirty things together."

Cosentz, who saw through his friend's tricks, was worried about him acting alone.

"Ah, I have an upset stomach and need to go to the bathroom."

Barry, who was exposed, immediately used his last move, and then he ran away like a rabbit without looking back. Running so fast, I don’t have to worry about getting it in my crotch.

Seeing his friend's actions, Cosentz could only shake his head helplessly.

For junior officers such as Cosenz, winning the battle was the most important thing. However, for Major General Wagman, who commanded this battle, this battle of Mara was useless. Apart from capturing Mara, it failed to achieve its purpose at all.

"What cowards these Abyssinians are."

Well, it seems that what Major General Wagman wants to wait for is not the garrison of Mara City, but the main force of the Abyssinians. When he set out, Simeone gave him face-to-face instructions.

According to Lieutenant General Simeone's analysis, if the Abyssinians want to defend their enemies from outside the country, Marat is the best choice. Because it is located between the Abyssinian Plateau and the Eritrean mountains, there are ravines here, which is very conducive to the enemy hiding their troops.

Therefore, Major General Wagman was asked to pay attention to possible dangers when attacking Mara. This is also the reason why Major General Wagman only allowed the 3rd Guards Regiment to attack with 8,000 troops.

But it is a pity that Mara was captured, and the Abyssinians did not ambush themselves in Mara.

That's right, Major General Wagman hoped that the main force of the Abyssinians would ambush him in Mara. Only in this way could he catch their main force and make great achievements for himself. You must know that this time he brought enough supplies and ammunition, and also a defensive weapon, Maxim machine gun, which also brought a total of 38.

It is a pity that God did not hear his prayer and let the Abyssinians escape disaster.

But it doesn't matter, if the fast method doesn't work, then use the slow method, which can still make these damn Abyssinians die obediently.

Thinking of this, he turned around and spoke to the messenger beside him. "Inform General Simeone immediately that our army has captured Mara and await further instructions."

"As you command, General."

…

Major General Wagman captured Marat, and within two days Simeone knew it.

After reading the report sent in his hand, Simeone spoke to the chief of staff beside him. "It seems that our enemy is very smart and the first plan did not work."

Faced with Simeone's words, Bartlett, the chief of staff, said indifferently. "It doesn't matter. Don't we have a backup plan? In this case, just activate the backup plan."

In order to deal with various situations in the war, Major General Bartlett, who was born in the General Staff Department, made many plans. But in order to end this war as soon as possible, we first adopted the method of luring the snake out of its hole.

If you see that this method doesn’t work, then it doesn’t matter, there is still a plan. These are all carefully prepared by Bartlett for the Abyssinians, and there is always one that suits them.

"Then next, we need time to build the road to Mara."

Simeone said the most important thing at the moment.

"That's just right. Contacting the Sudanese people also takes time."

With the two deciding, a new round began against the Abyssinians.

As for whether the Abyssinians knew about Italy's actions, they need to ask Johannes IV to find out.

However, Italy's performance of not moving after capturing Mara made the emperor a little nervous.

My grades were not very satisfactory, and my mentality was a little depressed. Why……
