ʻO nā pūʻali koa Cavalry - Gruppo Carri Veloci "San Giorgio"
I ka lā o ka hoʻouka kaua Kelemania i ka USSR (Iune 22, 1941), ua koho ʻia ʻo General Francesco Zingales i luna o ka Italian Expeditionary Force ma Rusia (Corpo Spedizione a me Russia - CSIR), akā i ka wā o ka huakaʻi i mua ua loaʻa ʻo ia i ka maʻi nui. , a ua paniia oia e Generala Giovanni Messe. ʻO ke kumu o ka CSIR nā pūʻali o ka 4th Army i hoʻonoho ʻia ma ka ʻĀkau o Italia. ʻO kēia: ka 9th Infantry Division "Pasubio" (General Vittorio Giovanelii), ka 52nd Infantry Division "Turin" (General Luigi Manzi), Prince Amadeo dʻAosta (General Mario Marazziani) a me ka brigade kaʻa "Black Shirt" "Tagliamento " . Eia kekahi, ua hoʻouna ʻia nā kaʻa kaʻa kaʻawale, nā pū, ʻenekinia a me nā ʻenekini, a me nā pūʻali hope - he 3 tausani mau koa (me 62 mau luna), i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me 000 mau pū a me nā morta, a me 2900 mau kaʻa.
ʻO ka pūʻali wikiwiki nui o ka Italian Expeditionary Force ma Rūsia ʻo ia ka Panzer Group San Giorgio, kahi ʻāpana o ka 3rd Fast Division. He ʻelua pūʻali koa lio a me kahi regiment Bersaglieri, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻekolu mau pūʻali koa kaʻa a me kahi pūʻali koa o nā kaʻa māmā. Ua kau maoli ʻia nā pūʻali koa lio, a ua hoʻolako ʻia nā bersaliers me nā kaʻa kaʻa pelu, a inā pono, hiki ke hoʻohana i nā kaʻa. Ua kākoʻo pū ʻia ka 3rd Fast Division e kahi hui o nā pahu kaʻa māmā - tankettes CV 35. ʻO ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana o kēia ʻano ʻāpana i makemake ʻia e ka mea i manaʻo mua ʻia nā pūʻali koa Italia e launa pū me nā pūʻali koa, nā ʻāpana kaʻa a me nā pūʻali koa lio wikiwiki. He mea pono keia i na mea halihali koa Italia ma ka Hikina Hikina.
I ka huina, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻekolu mahele wikiwiki: 1. ʻO Celere Division "Eugenio di Savoia" me ke keʻena nui ma Udine, 2. ʻO Celere Division "Emanuele Filiberto Testa di Ferro" ma Ferrara a me 3. ʻO Celere Division "Prince Amedeo Duca D'Aosta" ma Milana. I ka wā maluhia, ua loaʻa i kēlā me kēia māhele he pūʻali pahu pahu. A no laila, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia kēlā me kēia māhele: I Gruppo Squadroni Carri Veloci "San Giusto" me CV 33 a me CV 35; II Gruppo Squadroni Carri Veloci "San Marco" (CV 33 a me CV 35) a me III Gruppo Squadroni Carri Veloci "San Martino" (CV 35), i kapa hou ʻia ʻo "San Giorgio". Ua hoʻokumu ʻia nā pūʻali kaʻa māmā, ʻekolu mau pūʻali tankette, mai nā pūʻali koa lio a aia i loko o ka pūʻali koa like me ke koena o ka mahele. Ua maʻalahi ka hana pū. Ma mua koke o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kaua, ua hoʻonohonoho hou ʻia nā pūʻali koa - no laila aia lākou i kēia manawa he hui hoʻomalu a me ʻehā mau pūʻali o 15 mau pahu māmā i kēlā me kēia - he 61 pahu pahu, me 5 me kahi lekiō. He kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa, 11 kaʻa, 11 tractor, 30 tractors, 8 kaʻa kaʻa a me 16 mau kaʻa kaʻa. ʻO ka ikaika o ke koʻokoʻo he 23 mau luna, 29 mau luna hana ʻole a me 290 mau kānaka i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia.
ʻO ke kumu o nā kaʻa kaua Italia he mau pahu māmā (tankettes) CV 35, nā ʻāpana mua i ʻōwili ʻia mai ka laina hui i Pepeluali 1936. Ua paʻa lākou me ʻelua mau pū mīkini 8mm. Ua hana pū ʻia nā ʻano me ka pūkuniahi 20 mm, ka mea puhi ahi a me ka luna koa. Ua pau ka hana serial i Nowemapa 1939. E like me ka ʻikepili hilinaʻi loa o Nicola Pignato, ua hana ʻia nā tankettes 2724 CV 33 a me CV 35, a ua kūʻai ʻia ʻo 1216 ma waho. I Iulai 1940, ua loaʻa i ka pūʻali Italia he 855 tankettes i ka lawelawe ʻana, 106 i hoʻoponopono ʻia, 112 i hoʻohana ʻia i nā keʻena hoʻomaʻamaʻa, a he 212 i mālama ʻia.
Ua hoʻomaka nā hui Italia i kā lākou hana ma Ukraine me kahi huakaʻi inikua, ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana mai ke kaʻa kaʻaahi, i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā pūʻali koa. I ka hōʻea ʻana, ua pūʻiwa nā Italia i ka nui o nā koa ʻenemi a me ka nui o nā lako hana i hoʻohana ʻia a luku ʻia e lākou. ʻO ka Pasubio Infantry Division a me ka 3rd High-Speed Division, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kaʻa a me nā lio, ua hoʻokokoke wikiwiki loa i ka wahi kaua. ʻO ka mea hope loa i hōʻea mai ʻo ia ka māhele huakaʻi hele wāwae ʻo Turin. Ua hōʻea nā pūʻali Italia i ka mākaukau kaua piha ma ʻAukake 5, 1941.
