Rebirth: Romania Rising

"Fortunately, okay, the general didn't name me and asked me to be the first to die..."

Early the next morning, standing at the foot of Varna City, looking at the two regiments with high morale in front of him through the faint smoke and dust, Victor shouted thankfully.

The so-called death penalty refers to those who are the first to charge into the battle during the siege. Although if they succeed, they will definitely gain a collective skill, but Victor thought about it in his mind. Ordinary sieges are just fine. In this kind of hard battle where the number of attackers and defenders is almost the same, The first one to charge into the battle will suffer huge casualties, and everyone may be killed!

Furthermore, when you encounter a scheming general like Konstantin Prebetoy, who takes the initiative, you may be paving the way for him, and finally die in confusion...

So when the general glanced over, Victor kept his nose and heart in mind and did not rush forward.Fortunately, there are many reckless men in the army who are eager to make meritorious deeds first. Several regiment commanders around Victor immediately stood up to ask for a fight, and the general also readily agreed!

As for Victor and his group, they lined up behind these groups. As the latter group, they hid in a place a few hundred meters north of the city.

As a thoughtful commander, General Constantine is just like him in battle. He never goes straight, but likes to play tricks.He first ordered the soldiers to collect wet straw, leaves and other fuels, and set fires on the south and west sides of Waihuang, causing thick smoke to billow into the city with the monsoon wind, trying to obscure the view.

Then, the general ordered the artillery to fire volleys towards the west and south of Varna, making a posture of attacking in two directions!He even sat there himself so that the Bulgarian defenders could see his flag.The sound of artillery was high and rapid, stirring the sky, so most of Varna's defenders were attracted, and their main energy was dispersed on both sides.However, the north of the city where Victor and the others were located was the planned main attack direction.

The machine gun has long-lasting firepower and can suppress enemy firepower.Alexei had seen it in Dobriga before, but it was too bulky, difficult to use and inconvenient to carry. It seemed not suitable for siege at the moment.The only thing they had was a few siege artillery pieces that had been hurriedly delivered.

However, heavy artillery is cumbersome and requires several horses to pull it forward. It is easy to get stuck in potholes, and people have to fill the ravines along the way. Even so, in addition to siege vehicles, the Romanian army's main siege method at the moment may also require human lives. fill……

Seeing that most of the Bulgarian defenders were attracted to the west and south, under the order of another regiment commander, the messengers ran back and forth between several siege regiments in the north of the city to deliver the order to advance!

After receiving the order, the soldiers in the north of the city walked one by one through the light smoke towards the northern defense line just like they did during training...

The three regiments in front of Victor and others each have their own tasks.In the first regiment, half of the men used rifles to attract fire, and the other half held weapons such as explosives and grenades to bomb the gaps.

The second regiment, which was pure infantry, would gallop under enemy fire, brave a hail of bullets, break into the enemy's trenches, and then follow the trenches toward the city.

Victor's troops were close behind, and if both regiments failed to achieve their goals, they would have to go up...

Seeing the positions getting closer and clearer in front of him, Alexei was extremely nervous as he walked beside Victor. He swallowed and murmured: "I think these two regiments are a bit mysterious. The tough battle depends on our Yinlun troops."

He originally wanted to encourage himself and boost the morale of his comrades, but his words triggered a burst of laughter. Betif also scolded: "You kid, what are you talking about? You just broke the position, how can you waste two people?" Can’t make it in any group?” Everyone laughed for a while, and the tension eased a little, but soon everyone’s expressions became tense again.

They have entered the position a hundred meters away from the city, and the thick smoke can no longer obscure their whereabouts. The Bulgarians in the enemy position have discovered this menacing Romanian army!Start ringing the warning bell!

……

"Whoosh!"

The commanders’ whistle rhythm immediately changed!From a slow march to a rapid trot, the two regiments began to let go of their rhythm and ran as hard as they could!

However, they had already entered the enemy's firing range. A burst of scattered rifle fire came. Several soldiers who were carrying shovels and trying to build trenches seemed to have been hit by fists and suddenly fell to the ground...

But the attackers also had countermeasures. The two companies on the flanks of the two regiments were all tall grenadiers with slender arms. After they followed up and charged here, they lay down thirty steps away from the enemy trench. Start throwing grenades or explosive charges towards enemy positions...

In movies and TV shows, a single explosive charge can turn an entire trench into rubble, which looks very domineering. However, it is not easy to do in reality. Although it is a temporary trench and the construction is not very perfect, after the shock wave of the explosive passes through several corners, The power is reduced.

And there are only so many explosives, so they can only strike in a short time.It cannot cause too much damage, and its main function is to serve as fire support to gain some openings for the frontline troops.But in the blink of an eye, it was enough for many soldiers to cross the distance of twenty or thirty steps and rush to the trench!

Although those who fearlessly charged were shot and knocked down on the way, someone quickly took up their position. Several trenches were captured without any danger, and the two regiments rushed to the first front line under the city.

The troops who attacked first and searched first had arrived at the bottom of the city. Following several loud shouts, several soldiers crawled into the city along different traffic trenches at the same time!

Someone followed them immediately.Victor's troops also arrived at the city wall at this time. They raised their guns to shoot at the enemy troops to guard against them.

But in this way, people are as fragile as black ants. In the eyes of Victor and others, the boiling water constantly pouring on the city, the falling wood, stone and bricks, and the crossbow arrows released at close range, almost every moment , some soldiers were shot and fell down.

Even if a few brave and incompetent warriors managed to break into a trench despite guns and cannons, they were killed by bright bayonets and lost their lives.After losing its strength, the body lost its balance and fell, hitting the sandbags in the trench heavily...

Another soldier who had just climbed to the top of the city was stabbed in the chest by a bullet before he could jump into the battlements. His body fell diagonally into the trench, almost hitting the enemy soldier's face...

As Victor had expected, the charging regiment suffered heavy casualties and was soon depleted.Victor took a deep breath of the smelly air from the battlefield that was mixed with gunpowder smoke, blood, and gunpowder. When others were not paying attention, he hit his thigh hard to stop it from shaking.Because next, I’m afraid we’ll have to rely on the Yinlun troops to break the situation!

Fortunately, at this time, under the command of the general, more powerful heavy artillery fire support was also in place.Within a few minutes, more than 50 artillery shells were fired instantly, targeting the enemy troops in the trenches who were desperately standing out of the trenches to shoot.

Without any warning, artillery shells came from the sky and hit the Bulgarians. The soldiers heard the whistling sound of the shells breaking through the air and subconsciously raised their heads to check.

The sound of "bang, bang, bang" was chaotic, occasionally mixed with a few painful moans.Due to the lack of strong protection, dozens of enemy soldiers were killed and wounded by violent shell fragments. They fell like wheat blown by the strong wind, and groaned in pain.The defense in the trench in the north of the city stopped. Taking advantage of this gap, Victor shouted to Alexei in the front row! "Silver Troops, charge!"

"Yes!" Alexei yelled. He didn't care about his own safety. He actually took the lead, mounted a machine gun on the tricycle compartment, and charged into the battle!The defenders suffered heavy casualties from the heavy artillery bombardment just now. They could not recover for a while, but the Yinlun troops approached the traffic trench in half a minute.

Alexei had been frustrated for a long time because he had been unable to perform meritorious service in combat. Now that he had the opportunity, he screamed and turned the machine gun in his hand left and right, hitting enemies several times his own.

Relying on the protection of the bulletproof shield of the heavy machine gun, although bullets were constantly fired at Alexei, none of them penetrated the shield. Instead, the shooter was discovered by Alexei, who twisted the muzzle of the gun and killed the opponent.

For a moment, Alexei was invincible and guarded the crenel where the flying ladder was set up. Taking advantage of this gap, the rest of the army also charged one after another, and together with the remaining dozen or so people from the previous two regiments, they fought with the Bulgarians. in one piece.

This is your chance!Victor couldn't just shout "Fuck me!" at this time, because there were soldiers watching from behind. As an officer, if he cowered, he would be held responsible afterwards.

So Victor gritted his teeth, also chose a tricycle to set up a machine gun, and urged the driving soldiers to charge into the city quickly!Although the distance is not far, it takes a lot of courage to attack it in one go...

The surroundings were full of roars, screams, blood, and bullets, but Victor seemed to have never heard of them, because he knew that at this time, the more timid he was, the faster he would die!

Everyone brought out their old skills from training in the military camp, and the fight went quite smoothly!Soon, after less than 50 people died, Victor and the Yinlun troops broke through the defense line. With the powerful explosive force in his body, he tightened his body, turned the muzzle of his gun, and shot all the fleeing enemy soldiers.

"Finally a breakout!"
