2*用大炮机关枪打不过用弓箭的土著人,能用钢铁船打输木船的也只有意大利了。 —————————————————————————————————————— 来看看意军1935——1936入侵埃塞俄比亚主要战役的伤亡比 First Battle of Tembien Strength 意军 Approximately 70,000 埃军 Approximately 70,000 Casualties and losses 意军 Approx. 1,083 casualties 埃军 Approx. 8,000 casualties Battle of Amba Aradam Strength 意军 Approximately 70,000 埃军 Approximately 80,000 Casualties and losses 意军 Approx. 800 casualties 埃军 Approx. 6,000 killed, Approx. 12,000 wounded Almost entire army ultimately neutralized as a fighting force Second Battle of Tembien Strength 意军 Approximately 70,000 埃军 Approximately 80,000 Casualties and losses 意军 Approx. 800 casualties 埃军 Approx. 6,000 killed, Approx. 12,000 wounded Battle of Shire Strength 意军 Approximately 47,000 埃军 Approximately 23,500 Casualties and losses 意军 Approx. 1,000 killed and wounded 埃军 Approx. 4,000 killed and wounded 这叫打不过吗? 再看看意军占领埃塞俄比亚的总伤亡 截至埃塞俄比亚首都陷落: 10,000 killed, 44,000 wounded 反游击战期间 9,555 killed2 144,000 sick and wounded 埃军整个五年的伤亡 Approx. 275,000 combatants killed, 500,000 wounded Approx. 文献参考: Alberto Sbacchi, "The Price of Empire: Towards an Enumeration of Italian Casualties in Ethiopia 1935–1940", in ed.

Angelo Del Boca, The Ethiopian War 1935–1941 (1965), cites a 1945 memorandum from Ethiopia to the Conference of Prime Ministers, which tallies 760,300 natives dead; of them, battle deaths: 275,000, hunger among refugees: 300,000, patriots killed during occupation: 75,000, concentration camps: 35,000, Feb. 1937 massacre: 30,000, executions: 24,000, civilians killed by air force: 17,800.[6] 至于钢铁船打输木船,呵呵,东非意军海军主力在厄立特里亚的马萨瓦,埃塞俄比亚一内陆国家根本就没有海军。
快输给埃塞俄比亚就准备放毒气…… —————————————————————————————————————————— 来看看意军放毒气究竟对战局起了多大作用,可以用美帝观察员的话Norman Fiske引证:几乎没有作用。 However, some historians (for example, Anthony Mockler) consider the effect of this gas weapon in battle negligible, like in the report written by the US Major Norman Fiske. Major Fiske thought the Italians were clearly superior and that victory for them was assured no matter what. The use of chemical agents in the war was nothing more than an experiment. He concluded: "From my own observations and from talking with [Italian] junior officers and soldiers I have concluded that gas was not used extensively in the African campaign and that its use had little if any effect on the outcome." 这段话的出处:Clark DK. Effectiveness of Toxic Chemicals in the Italo–Ethiopian War. Bethesda, Md: Operations Research Office; 1959. p20
偷袭投降前的法国还被打回来的事迹也是家喻户晓… ———————————————————————————————— 事实上,意军还是有点进展的,只不过墨索里尼命令下得太突然,准备不足,战果不大而已 看看第1山地师“陶伦菲斯”的战斗记录: From 10 June to 24 June 1940 the division advanced with other Italian units into Southern France and occupied Bourg-Saint-Maurice, where it was garrisoned after the end of hostilities. 可见意军进攻法国仅仅是进展不大,而非被完虐
美军登陆意大利,与意大利对峙的时候,美军感觉到意大利人毫无战争意志,因此刻意减弱了攻击力度。一次德军侦察机飞过战场侦查,意大利军指挥官心想面子太挂不住而下令装作正在作战的样子攻击,美军也毫无干劲地反击。这场战斗被德军侦察机发现,感慨地说:“厉害!意大利人制止了美军的攻势!”(神啊) 之后德国的增援部队到达,开始了一场真正的激战。 ------------------------------------------------------------------ 其实这是拿西西里岛战役里窝那步兵师是奋战戏说了,其实里窝那师的在吉拉滩头的抵抗还是比较顽强的,只是由于美军驱逐舰的炮火压制导致反击失败 On 10 July Livorno infantry supported by the 155th Bersaglieri Motorcycle Company and a column of tanks poured onto Highways 115 and 117 and nearly retook the city of Gela, but guns from the destroyer Shubrick and the cruiser Boise destroyed several Fiat 3000 tanks (a variant of the French Renault tank). The Amphibious Battle of Gela was reported by an American newspaper: "Supported by no less than forty-five tanks, a considerable force of infantry of the Livorno Division attacked the American troops around Gela. The American division beat them back with severe casualties. This was the heaviest response to the Allied advance." [2] The Livorno regrouped made a further attempt to retake Gela two days later and the 3rd Battalion, 34 Livorno Regiment, is recorded by its Commanding Officer as having made a valiant effort in the Gela Beachhead.
6*意大利夜间曾经有过“我们睡着了的话对方一定也睡了,因此不会被攻击的”这样的说法,最后遭到了英军的奇袭。 ———————————————————————— 夜袭英军的帕维亚步兵师笑了 The division was at the First battle of El Alamein as part of the Italian X Corps, where it defended Ruweisat Ridge before taking heavy casualties and being rendered largely ineffective by New Zealand Infantry and British Armour on the 14–15 July 1942. During the initial phase of the fighting Pavia served as a rearguard for the Ariete Division where, according to US historian Conrad H. Lanza, the division repulsed the advance of the and the New Zealand 23rd Battalion with a night counter attack. 该师在第一次阿拉曼战役中作为意大利第10军的一部分参与了守卫Ruweisat高地的战斗,但是在1942年7月14-15日的战斗中面对英军装甲和新西兰步兵承受了巨大伤亡并且作战效率逐步下降。在最初阶段的战斗中,根据美国历史学家Conrad H. Lanza的说法,帕维亚步兵师作为艾略特装甲师的后卫以一场夜袭击退了新西兰23营的推进。 夜里阻击英军推进的的里雅斯特摩步师第9狙击步兵团笑而不语 1941年11月23日,在十字军作战中,英军第70步兵师在60辆坦克的支援下突破了25半摩托化师“博洛尼亚”的防线。意大利人重新集结后帕维亚步兵师投入反击,封锁了敌人的突破。在25日夜26日凌晨,英军70步兵师再次攻击,但是的里雅斯特师的第9狙击步兵团反击并阻止了英军的这次推进。 On 23 November 1941, during the Operation Crusader, the British 70th Infantry Division, supported by 60 tanks[5]broke through part of the 25 Semi-Motorised Division Bologna. The Italians rallied and the Pavia went over to the counterattack, sealing off the enemy breakthrough. On the night of 25-26 November, the British 70th Division attacked again, but the 9th Bersaglieri Regiment of the Trieste Division counterattacked and check this British advance.
13*拓扑路克之围时,隆美尔一大早巡视阵地,发现一个精锐的意大利火枪点击营的防区里空空如也,只有一地鸡毛。 ------------------------------------------------------- 这傻缺作者根本不知道意大利的神枪手步兵(Bersaglieri)的帽子和钢盔上有雷鸟毛装饰,故意地说成是鸡毛,其用心之毒,可见一斑 相反托卜鲁克之围时神枪手步兵的表现可圈可点: On 1 May 1941 the Germans and Italians attacked Tobruk in considerable strength. Their attack pierces the defences, and the Ariete and 8th Bersaglieri capture the R3, R4, R5, R6 and R7 strongpoints.On 3 May the Australians launched a counterattack with their 18th Brigade. The counterattack only recaptures one strongpoint from what Australian historian Mark Johnston reported to be Italian defenders.[4] This action is later known as the Battle of the Salient. 1941年5月1日,德意军以可观的力量进攻了托卜鲁克。他们的进攻突破了防御,艾略特师和第8狙击步兵团占领了R3, R4, R5, R6 and R7 支撑点。5月3日,澳大利亚人以18旅发动了反击,根据澳大利亚历史学家Mark Johnston的记录,这次反击仅仅夺回了1个支撑点。这次行动就是“突出部战役”
