Rebirth: Romania Rising

"The commander-in-chief of the Third Army who was ordered to attack South Dobroga this time is Konstantin Prebetoy. This is not the first time he has led a large army in combat, and he has high seniority in the army. Deputy General It’s Anton Karagenberu, who participated in actual combat for the first time and was highly valued by the general.”

"And the other troops are cannon fodder to fill the lines for the First and Second Corps. The credit for attacking South Dobroga cannot be attributed to these cannon fodder..."

"The main reason why I was able to get into this team was because my boss, Ion, had an old friendship with Vice Admiral Constantine. He also wrote me a letter of introduction, saying that I was good at leading troops and had performed well after taking office. He is also responsible for the first practice of this special branch of the Yinlun Army."

Victor thought of a saying: the relationship between people must not exceed six levels, and anyone can be contacted through only six people at most.Victor counted his fingers and estimated that his relationship with King Carol was probably only five or six floors apart!

Therefore, even in the military, relationships between people are still filled with every corner that cannot be controlled by military law.

Victor knew very well that no matter how hardworking he was in his position, after leaving a familiar environment, when competing with people of the same status, he still had to rely on old friendships to obtain key opportunities.

This is the important reason why, from the same starting point, some people finally get help and rise to the top, while others can only stay in obscurity at the grassroots level for the rest of their lives.

Fortunately, relying on his connections and sophistication was conducive to Victor's competition. After all, he was appreciated by Ion, and he also had a silver army under his command, which could accompany the army to attack the important Bulgarian town of Nandobroga, although his position was only that of a regiment commander. .

Because of the Third Army, this army was also poorly organized and not strictly organized. As a result, everyone had difficulties when arranging Victor's Yinlun unit. This unit was difficult to arrange. It marched faster than the infantry, but It is different from cavalry in combat.There is simply no superior to control him, but he directly takes orders from the division commander. The division commander's name is Nicola Bortogano, an infantry general.

The Yinlun Troops belonging to Victor, of course, included the people from the same country he brought with him, as well as some soldiers who cooperated tacitly during the additional training.

The Romanian army is basically divided according to military regions, and different regions are assigned different places of origin. Different regions have big differences in accents and dialects, but they can still be heard clearly. If Victor is assigned to a few soldiers from the Carpathians, he shouts Those people were completely confused by the order given...

Therefore, Victor used dialect to give orders to his subordinates.Victor fully understood the principle of "nepotism" within the army, and put Anton, Alexei, Betif and others he trusted into positions at 01:30.

When Alexey learned that Victor had used such disgraceful methods, he inevitably complained.But Victor shut him up with just one word. "The Third Army is like this. Besides, I am your superior."

Those with lower military ranks obey those with higher ranks unconditionally. This is an ironclad rule in the army.Alexei made up his mind that this time he would be promoted through meritorious service.

The conversation between the two was interrupted by the rapid beating of drums. Under the sun, a tall and mighty military flag appeared. It was brightly colored and held high toward the south. The small flags of the subordinate units also waved southward.

Under the guidance of the military flags one after another, Victor also held the military flags. According to the same pace and rhythm of the army, he commanded his subordinates to move forward, and everyone broke camp and headed south...

The first target of this army is the capital of South Dobroga, dozens of miles southeast, called Dobrich. It is an important and dangerous town on the banks of the Danube River. There are three thousand troops stationed there. This army is Like a nail, nailed into the throat of the southward attack, it is also an obstacle that must be cleared for Romania to go south!

……

The dispatch of more than [-] troops was not a swarm of swarms, but was divided into several parts such as reconnaissance, planning, advancement, logistics, and communications according to the regulations in the army.

In Victor's army, there are more than 200 people in the reconnaissance force. They are all light cavalry scouts. In Victor's opinion, their attire must be very powerful: wearing a pair of tight pants on the upper body, and long ankle boots on the lower body. He wears riding boots, a small hat on his head, a spear on his back, and a long knife tied to his waist.The cavalry troops must move frequently [-] kilometers in front of the main army and be divided into several small teams. Each team is three to five miles apart and is responsible for detecting the enemy's situation on the road ahead.

Behind them are the forward infantry, 2000 of them, all lightly armed. Once the reconnaissance cavalry discovers the enemy's situation and transmits information to the rear, the forward troops must quickly step forward and cooperate with the reconnaissance cavalry to block the enemy and ensure smooth communication with the army. convoy.

The largest army was located behind the forward, with as many as 7000 people. The military flag was held high, where the general was located. There were also logistics troops and artillery carrying heavy supplies of food and artillery in the rear, moving slowly.

On both sides of the army, forward infantry were also arranged to follow the army forward. The forward infantry on both sides were responsible for occupying favorable terrain, chasing the enemy when the battle was won, and protecting the flanks of the army when they were temporarily stationed on standby.

Victor thinks so: "The right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people. As long as the generals can skillfully command these armies to cooperate with each other step by step, and the head and tail are in harmony, how can the marching battle not be successful?"

Just think about it, if every marching battle can be so carefully arranged, like the scene in the movie and TV series where a gunshot suddenly rings out, countless ambushes appear on both sides of the road, and the enemy troops are wiped out, unless it is located at a dangerous pass like a narrow road in a mountain or river, Otherwise it would be really difficult to show up.

The key to victory or defeat is that excellent marching methods eliminate low-level mistakes.The march and formation of the grand army were all seen by Victor. Not only did he secretly admire them, he also remembered these things in his mind.

After all, he is still a newbie on the battlefield when it comes to commanding large corps in operations. This Balkan War must be watched carefully and studied carefully.

No matter what era it is, every official position has corresponding professional skills.If you think about how to get promoted and build military exploits all day long but don't know how to study, even if a pie in the sky suddenly lands you in a high position, you will only be punished for making jokes in your position.

But unfortunately, their "Silver Wheel Force" did not win the main force that was easiest to perform meritorious service, but became the vanguard force that protected the army and communicated with the reconnaissance cavalry... The risk was much higher.

Victor was not too disappointed. In an army of more than [-] people, unless he could get into the direct lineage of the general, it would not be easy to claim credit.

He also reprimanded Alexei, who was muttering that he might have no merit this time: "Speak less, do more, don't complain, and do what you are told. Everyone, take care of the area you are responsible for, Alexei, lead the people Drive away all the people who try to get close! Even farmers in the fields, even the elderly and children, must be driven away!"

This is also the task of the forward troops. Now that they are in a strange Bulgaria, there may be enemies everywhere, so they must be vigilant. If there are enemies with malicious intentions running to the side, if they don't drive them away, they are really looking for death.

Wheat seedlings have grown in the fields next to the road, and occasionally farmers can be seen working in the fields. However, after seeing the Romanian army from a distance, everyone was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly ran back as if they had seen a ghost. village.

On the next road, the gates of several villages passed by the army were closed tightly. The farmers looked at the army trampling through their fields in horror and fear. No one dared to come out.

Romania is not a benevolent or civilized army that advertises "no offense in autumn". Everything prioritizes the convenience of marching, and the damage to the local area is not within the scope of the general's consideration.

The journey was uneventful, and just as we were approaching the city, two children playing in the fields on the roadside accidentally entered the guarded area of ​​​​the Yinlun Army while they were laughing and playing.The two children looked at a group of troops in front of them who were wearing uniforms, speaking a foreign language they couldn't understand, and riding strange vehicles, and they were immediately frightened.

The men of the army had already shown a fierce look on their faces, raised their bayonets and walked towards the two men. However, after Victor scolded them, they put down their swords and guns, and just shouted fiercely to scare them away.

"In a few years, these children will be as old as the new recruits." Victor breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone: "The test of military merit is very strict. They are all children and civilians. Even if they are killed, it will not be enough." It doesn’t count as a military achievement, don’t attack them unless necessary.”

Everyone nodded. Their trip went quite smoothly. They had not experienced any decent battles, nor had they fallen into the "ocean of people's war", so they would not be so nervous that they would not fall into the madness of killing everyone they saw.

Generally speaking, the Romanian army is relatively calm. Although it is not as good as the excellent style of the People's Liberation Army of the previous life, it is definitely not capable of killing civilians and animals.

After all, there is no blood feud between Romania and Bulgaria. King Carol wants unification, not destruction and enslavement. Romania's generals also have the ability to use military law to restrain every move of the troops.After this episode, the Yinlun troops arrived at the city together with the army...

Dobrich is an important city. It is located on an important transportation road. It has a large population of more than tens of thousands of people. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack... Just as the general was considering countermeasures, the soldiers who were gearing up for a big battle received the news - Silver The round force has captured Dobrich.

Later, the troops were shocked to find that Dobrich had already opened the city gate, the Bulgarian flag had been cut off and thrown to the bottom of the city, with trampled footprints on it, while the Romanian flag was fluttering in the wind.

"Isn't it?"

Even the general was a little shocked. The forward troops were only ten miles in front of us. Could it be said that their thousand men on tricycles and bicycles defeated Dobrich in just one hour?

Didn't the defenders mount an effective resistance?Didn't it say that Bulgaria still has three thousand regular troops there?With such doubts, the soldiers were asked to enter the city to maintain order and search for remaining enemies.

When they walked into the city, they discovered that there had been several battles in the city. There were more than a hundred corpses lying strewn around the door. They died tragically, either shot to death or with several bloody holes stabbed by swords.

"Is it the Bulgarian army?"

The adjutant walked up behind the general and whispered. "Look at these people's messy clothes and all kinds of weapons. They don't look like regular troops..." he continued. "Probably the local militia."

The general also guessed their identities and couldn't help but sigh. The regular army stationed there collapsed without a fight. Instead, it was the local militiamen who shed their blood to defend their hometown, even though they knew it was pointless resistance.

Half an hour later, the few remnants of the enemy in the city were also eliminated. The regular army's numerical advantage was too great, and the resisting militia was simply not enough. The Yinlun troops, whom he regarded as a joke, actually captured Dobri in a decent manner. Qida is really a miracle, and it can be regarded as a collective with military merit standards...

In order to prevent disease, the bodies of those who resisted were gathered into piles and prepared for burial. It looked very gruesome.The civilians of Dobrich were driven into their houses by the army, and they looked fearfully through the windows to the street, just in time to watch the Romanian army's entry ceremony into the city.
