Rebirth: Romania Rising

At this moment, the Romanian army is busy counting lists, looking for local officials, and is still looking for local map information.

At this time, the general was surprised to see several bicycles quickly shuttled back and forth in the city to maintain law and order. They seemed to be even more flexible and comprehensive than the cavalry. They could not only transport supplies to the baggage troops, but also provide ventilation for the messengers. Reporting information can even replace mounted police in cities with good road conditions.

I never thought that the humble-looking Yinlun Army could be so efficient. If it were popularized, it would become a must-carry weapon for the army and be widely used.As a result, the general said hello and admired this novel unit.

At this time, everyone in the army was extremely proud, especially the talkative Alexei, who began to brag to his comrades from other counties. "You know who invented the bicycle, but do you know who invented the tricycle? ...What, you have been riding a bicycle for so long and you don't even know who the inventor is? Hey, you are so ignorant!"

He pointed at Victor again and said: "The original design drawing of this thing is none other than our commander Victor! Victor, there are people here who don't believe me. Come and say something!" Victor smiled. , ignored it and let Alexey continue to brag.

He thought: "It seems that in terms of practicality, both the government and the generals agree. After a war, the tricycle design will probably spread with the pace of the Romanian army's conquest. Maybe it will also be used after the war." The depressed economy needs to recover quickly."

The troops stayed in the city for four days and after stabilizing the local order, they also learned that Ottoman Turkey had also joined the war against Bulgaria. Now Bulgaria was under attack from both sides. All its neighbors came to share the pie, and the army's goals also changed.

The general issued a new combat strategy, and tens of thousands of soldiers were divided into four parts: 1000 stayed to guard Dobrich, and several officers also stayed in the city to manage public security.This is what Romania often does after conquering a place, putting officers and soldiers in place and imposing military control.

In addition, 1000 people transported grain from Chen Liucang back to the west, and more than 1 people gathered under the city of Dobroga. Logistics and supplies were a big problem. The purpose of sending people to stay here was to collect local grain and feed our army with war support.

The general's main force of [-] troops continued southward to attack Varna in the south: it was the economic center of Bulgaria's eastern coast. It had [-] troops and backed by the Black Sea. Many militiamen were stationed in an attempt to resist stubbornly. These die-hards must be cleared away.

The good news is that Victor's Silver Wheel unit will also head south, targeting Varna!

"If the enemy army collapses and surrenders at the first touch like last time, military merit will be hard to come by. But in real combat with real swords and guns on the battlefield, the chances of making meritorious deeds will be many times greater!" Victor secretly made a decision. This time He must not miss it.

……

"It seems that the Varna defenders are going to fight to the end."

Victor watched the people he sent to shout and persuade to surrender fled back under the city after being frightened by a hail of bullets. He shook his head and said to his comrades beside him.

The city of Varna is larger. Because it is located in the hinterland of Bulgaria and faces the sea, it rarely encounters wars, so the defensive capabilities of the city walls are far inferior to Dobrich.But at this time, the enemy troops in the city were on alert and fully prepared to defend to the death.

When everyone heard this, they were not worried but happy, because if the city surrendered without attacking, they would not get any credit. "Looking at the preparations at the top of the city, the morale of this Bulgarian army is not low. This may be a tough battle for our army." After saying that, Victor looked back at his own position. The troops were marching slower than his own. Quite a few, except for a thousand cavalry who could keep up with him, the remaining thousands of people set off from Dobrich and took half a day to reach the target location.

Victor, who arrived early, followed the orders of his general Constantine to dig earth and cut trees, and hastily built a camp for the soldiers to settle down. After Victor gained a foothold, he persuaded the enemy city to surrender.

The attempt to persuade him to surrender failed as expected, and combat became the only option. Soon, messengers came to find Victor and asked him and other officers to go to the headquarters to obey orders...

The headquarters is a temporary large tent, which is actually a little larger than an ordinary tent. The commander-in-chief, Constantine Prebettoy, sits in the middle, with his trusted lieutenants on his left and right hands, and more than a dozen regimental commanders sitting on both sides. , Victor's position is very close to the general, which shows that his status in the entire army is not high. It may be because of the Yinlun army, which left some impression on people, so he left an impression on people. Got a position.

Although General Constantine is a veteran figure and likes to be particular about the relationship between superior and inferior, he did not talk nonsense at this time. He quickly asked: "The troops have been ordered by the General Staff to attack Varna south to respond to Turkey. It’s a pity that the Varna garrison didn’t understand the general situation and even called on the police and militiamen in the city to resist. It’s impossible without fighting. Do you have any good strategies for attacking the city?”

Lieutenant General Karagenberu was always good at strategy, so he stood up and was the first to say: "In terms of the number of troops, but now our army only has more than [-] people, but there are thousands of enemy troops in Varna City, and the Yinlun troops are surrounding the city. After investigation, it was said that the east, south and north were upward, and the eastern part of the city was facing the sea.

It is said that there are reports between villagers and the Baojun in several directions. I am afraid that the details of our army have been exposed, and in total, the enemy and our forces are equal, and ordinary siege methods may not be effective. "

The general asked: "Oh, how does the deputy general think the city should be attacked?"

"The city of Varna is strong and I'm afraid it won't be able to be attacked for a long time. In my opinion, it's better to... lure the enemy out of the city!"

Victor listened below and shook his head secretly.This lieutenant general really has a professional background and has learned a lot of military skills, but he has never fought an actual battle, so he is quite self-righteous.

He had previously proposed that the main force march through the night to annihilate the fleeing Bulgarian regular army in the field, and launch night attacks on several surrounding counties. The general adopted his suggestion.

But when Victor and others panted on their bicycles and chased for dozens of miles without finding anyone, when they arrived at the county town, they discovered that the soldiers who fled were not stupid. The Romanians were tracking them, so they hid in the county town and organized defenses. The county town was lit up with torches at night, and farmers patrolled on horseback all night, waiting to attack the extremely tired Romanians overnight!

At this time, the deputy general was still saying excitedly: "Our army can pretend to be exhausted from the forced march, and let the Yinlun troops and cavalry disperse to the city to provoke, while the elite main force is hidden in the woods. The Bulgarian army in the city saw that our army was tired and provocative, He will definitely grit his teeth and fight out of the city.

You can first let the cavalry and forward troops fake a surrender to lure the enemy deeper, and then ambush the elite troops outside, annihilating the enemy troops leaving the city in one fell swoop, and then storm Varna.As long as this is done, the remaining enemies in the city will be demoralized and it will be easy to attack! "

The adjutant was just thinking about how happy he was, but Victor thought of him as a joke but found it funny. The Bulgarians were not idiots. It was undoubtedly a fool's errand to rely on their poor acting skills to lure the enemy and trick them into fighting in the field.Besides, if you can defend the city, why risk going out of the city to fight in the field?

The concentration of population and resources in Varna determines that the Romanian army on the attacking side must capture it as a stronghold. The limited transportation and supply problems will only cause more and more trouble to the Third Army as time goes by. It was destined that the Romanian army would not be able to bypass the city of Varna.

Therefore, the offensive route of the attacker can basically be determined. Bulgaria, the defender, only needs to concentrate its main forces on Varnari, an important city on the enemy's offensive route, and defend it tightly.

Therefore, whether it is at a strategic level, defending the city is indeed beneficial to Bulgaria.In terms of tactics, the defending side has a great advantage. Thousands of people can defend the city and can even engage in street fighting. This can often block the German army that is several times their own number and achieve a high exchange ratio.

Victor thought so in his heart, but his emotional intelligence was not so low that he opposed the proposal of his immediate boss in public. He could only hope that the general would reject the plan.However, what is surprising is that the general smiled and accepted it again, and asked everyone to go down immediately and prepare. They should be responsible for luring the enemy, and they should be responsible for ambush and hiding in the woods.

"Why is this? Could it be that the general is old and confused?" Victor was a little confused. Judging from his words and deeds, the general was not a stupid person who didn't know how to fight.

As expected, after the deputy general's plan was put on show by the Yinlun troops and the cavalry troops for a day, Varna's defenders still stood still and had no desire to attack.

Seeing that his strategy failed again, the deputy general looked a little ugly. At this time, the commander spared him and put forward his own battle plan-attack!

"It seems that Varna is really what I thought. It must be attacked by force!" Looking at the general's plan, Victor in the camp finally figured out the general's intention.

The senior general seems to have no independent opinions and calls everyone together to make suggestions every time he fights, but in fact, he is a very scheming person.He always seems to want to deliberately let others make suggestions, especially the deputy general who likes to steal the limelight to propose some ineffective strategies. After the deputy general is slapped in the face, the chief general stands up again and puts forward what he thinks. Sure enough, he can get into such a position. All dirty!

In this way, on the one hand, he can be praised as being good at listening to his subordinates.On the other hand, he can make the decision at the critical moment every time and reverse the wrong strategy.Sure enough, after the general expressed his opinion, he immediately attracted a burst of admiration from all the officers in the tent.

"In the past two days, although it seems that I have sent people to lure the enemy to attack, in fact, this is just to deceive others. The real purpose is to allow the heavy artillery troops to arrive at the front line and provide fire support. Now the artillery is fully prepared, and the enemy initially The morale that has been shared by the enemy for the past few days may have slackened. Starting from tomorrow, everyone will attack the city with all their strength!"

"Everyone, who wants to be the first to attack the city tomorrow?" As he said this, the general turned his attention to Victor!
