Mediterranean Hegemony Road

The Central Army, which broke out in full force, was not as powerful as he thought, and Serbia's will to resist is much greater than before!

The good thing about leaving the ground and running away is no longer there! Now every time you win a position, you have to go through a hard fight! The enemy is in front, and the supervising team is in the back. They are forced to go up!

The war continued, and the casualties on both sides rose sharply as the Serbs fought desperately! In order to reduce casualties, the commander-in-chief of the Central Army, Vasil Ivanlov, decided to wash the ground with artillery fire!

The casualties have come down, but the material consumption has risen sharply, and only after advancing the front more than 30 miles, more than 50,000 artillery shells were consumed!

However, the Serbs' desperate energy was quickly interrupted. The two main groups interspersed in the rear destroyed the traffic arteries, and the supplies of Leskovac could not be transported!

When the Serbian army reacted, the ammunition reserves on the front line were almost exhausted! The garrison commander Ivan Rich is going crazy now. First of all, the domestic machinery insists on the order, and the number of deserters executed on the southern front has reached thousands!

Now that logistical supplies are cut off again, how can we fight this battle? If we talk about food reserves, we can last for more than a month, but ammunition reserves will kill people!

Three days ago, the Serbian army on the southern front added up to more than 80,000 troops, and now it has been reduced by one-fifth!

It hasn't collapsed yet, Ivan Rich has already managed the army well! Now it's good, the food is not exhausted and the ammunition is exhausted! There are only more than 5,000 artillery shells and more than 2 million bullets in the whole army!

The most important thing is that the troops in his hands now dare not act rashly! Up to now, the Serbian army has not collapsed. It is still thanks to Ivan Rich that used the only main division as a supervisor team, used the young men who had just been armed as cannon fodder, and shot thousands of deserters. Stay on the front lines!

Otherwise, with such a large casualty, this group of rabble would have collapsed long ago! Of course, it is almost the same now. Ivan Rich is very clear that the current situation will not last long!

At the military conference, at a glance, everyone was widowed, yawning, and languishing! Obviously, everyone is suffering from the hard work these days!

Ivan Rich's own state is not much better. If he is not careful, the enemy may break through the defense line! Now they have retreated to the last line of defense, and everyone will be shot if they retreat!

Ivan Rich said wearily: Not much nonsense, the situation is obvious now, we can't hold on for long! I have reported the situation here truthfully to the country, but the order of the military is to let us stick to it. For three days, buy time for the main force in the Nis region!

What? How is this possible? In our current situation, let alone three days, whether we can stay until tomorrow is a question! an officer exclaimed.

Yeah! The situation is obvious now. We have been holding back the main force in Bulgaria for four days. The main force in the Niš area has not yet secured a partial division. Are they all rice buckets? Another person said.

Everyone began to talk about it, complaining one after another, dissatisfied with the domestic order!

Okay, anyway, the order still has to be executed! Doesn't the main force in the Nis area take three days? We give it to him!

Now I order five more lines of defense on the way to Nis! You immediately organize the people and build a defense line for me! In any case, we must buy three days for the main force!

Otherwise we will lose this war! Even if the southern front is wiped out, everyone must stick to it!

Everyone answered in unison: Yes!

Obviously, Ivan Richie is playing tricks! From here to Niš, there are still more than 100 kilometers. Such a long distance. In the 19th century, it took two or three days to march alone. As long as you resist and drag the time along the way, you can think of a way at that time. Passed!

A young officer asked suspiciously, General,

What about the enemy army interspersed behind us? If we let them move freely, I am afraid they will cause us trouble later?

Ivan Rich's face changed. If he wanted to run smoothly, he had to kill the enemy at the back first, then he had to draw troops from the front!

After being silent for a moment, he said, Two regiments are drawn from the front line, and half of our reserves are being drawn to form a temporary reinforcement division, with Zach Vic serving as the temporary division commander, to kill these hamsters!

...

The Serbian Front Headquarters in Niš, General Suborovvić is bleeding now! The Left Army sent by Bulgaria is no soft persimmon at all!

It has only been two days since the counteroffensive started, and more than 20,000 heroic Serbian soldiers have fallen on the way to charge, and more than 10,000 more wounded, while the enemy's position stands still!

When defending, it is the most suitable time for machine guns to exert their power, especially heavy machine guns! The Mack core machine gun made its debut in the Balkans and gave the Serbs a blow in the head!

On the first day of the attack, the Serbian army sent more than 10,000 corpses, which made him famous!

In order to block the bullets, the Serbs even took out the medieval shields, but it was still useless!

Suborovich hesitated, he couldn't die even if he tried his best! More than 30,000 casualties have been paid, and it is estimated that the enemy's losses will not exceed 1,000. Such a battle cannot be fought at all!

If you fight again, the soldiers must mutiny! You must know that the supervising team drove the soldiers to charge, and now it is full of complaints, and even some officers have been shot black. If it comes a few more days, God will know what will happen!

The best way to deal with machine guns now is to bombard them with artillery, but unfortunately Serbian artillery is not dominant now! As soon as it emerged, the Bulgarian shells followed!

Moreover, the artillery of the 19th century was not easy to aim. It often took dozens of shells to obtain results. Such a long time was enough to expose the position of the artillery!

Now the average is one artillery, for two or three machine guns! According to this exchange ratio, if the artillery is all fired, it will probably solve the annoying machine gun!

It's a pity that Suborovvic did not dare to do this. Serbia lacks artillery. If it is fired now, what will happen in the next war? How to contain the enemy's firepower?

Turning offense into defense seems to be the best way! But the current situation is not up to Suborovich to choose!

Otherwise, let's attack at night! The dark lights are blinding, and the enemy has no way to aim, so send the death squad to bring the explosive bag and touch it directly~~ a staff officer suggested.

Everyone's eyes are bright, it seems feasible! Serbia lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of death squads! Although it is difficult to attack at night, non-combat attrition will increase a lot, which is better than death!

Suborovich took a deep breath and said, Then try it! If you have any ideas, try them out, don't care about casualties!

The Bulgarian reinforcements are coming, and we have less than three days before we must defeat the enemy in front of us!

In three days, everyone's face changed greatly, what a joke! From the counter-offensive to the present, none of them have done their best, and until now they have only harvested a few abandoned positions that the enemy voluntarily gave up, and none of them have really been captured!
