Romanian Eagle

When the Bulgarian First Army was preparing to defend the Tsarewicz Mountain to the death, the Romanian army was still marching slowly in Popovo, 37 kilometers away. This time the Romanian army's advance was 2o kilometers per day. The reason why the march was so slow was because the general General Lieshan strongly requested. He planned to defeat the main force of the Bulgarian army in the battle of Tarnovo, which was also supported by Eder.

Your Highness, we will arrive in Tarnovo the day after tomorrow.

General Courtois, the minister of the 6th Army, who is now the chief of staff of the Romanian offensive army, said to Crown Prince Eder, who was sitting in the same car with him.

Eder complimented Courtois, who was sitting across from him. This time, the command of His Excellency the Admiral is needed to defeat the Bulgarians and let them recognize the facts.

In the face of the crown prince's compliment, Admiral Courtois did not dare to suffer, he knew that this was the crown prince showing his favor to the officers of King Carroll's faction. Although they are old arms and legs, but the influence is still there. As the king's spokesman in the army, he also knew that the old king was severely broken, and in his heart he already had the idea of ​​retiring after the new king ascended the throne. So in a war, as long as there are no major mistakes, he plans to be a good gentleman.

After thinking about this, General Courtois said. His Royal Highness, the war is not as good as it was before. If I knew how to fight ten years ago. Now, I don't know what to do.

Crown Prince Eder has no good way to deal with this minister who is more slippery than the loach. Since he doesn't want to do this, he can only let the deputy chief of staff, Major General Procy, give him a good life. The general's reason.

Two days later, the Romanian army came to the outskirts of Tarnovo, and the defenders resisted a little when the Romanian army arrived, and retreated to the position on Tsarevice Hill outside the city of Tarnovo. Seeing the dense fortifications on the mountain, at the suggestion of Major General Prossi, the deputy chief of staff, Eder also ordered the Romanian army to rectify first, waiting for the eleventh heavy artillery regiment protected by the twelve divisions.

This heavy artillery regiment is the Romanian big killer 36 21o heavy artillery. This big guy, weighing nearly 9 tons, was towed by ten Dongfeng trucks in front, and a special engineer corps paved the way for it. Even with this guarantee, these big guys can only walk seventeen or eighteen kilometers a day. The Chief of General Staff of Presan took it into account when formulating the plan,

These cannons have been on the march since the start of the war, not a single shell was fired, and there was not a single complaint from the army. Because they all know that such a big killer can only be used in a big battle. Its high 12okg shell and 118oo meters long range will make everyone who uses it think it's worth the money.

After the Romanian army arrived on the outskirts of Tarnovo, the main force of the Bulgarian army led by King Ferdinand I of Bulgaria also arrived here. After arriving here, Lieutenant General Savov, the minister of the 6th Army, who had arrived here in advance, explained the defense plan this time.

Now that the Romanian army has arrived outside the city of Tarnovo, I believe they will attack in two days at most. According to my plan, the focus of this operation is to protect the Tsarevice Mountain, the commanding heights outside the city of Tarnovo.

Speaking of this, Lieutenant General Salvo tapped the Tsarewicz Mountain on the military map with a baton to show how much he liked it. The Bulgarian generals listened carefully to Lieutenant General Salvo's explanation in the war conference room, as did King Ferdinand I.

Now they all know that Bulgaria is besieged from three sides, and they can survive on the front line of Serhi, but this is the mentality of Serbia, Greece and Montenegro who want to let Bulgaria and Romania fight for a while, so they can go forward and get cheap. Here it needs to be said that after Montenegro declared war on Romania, it also declared war on Bulgaria. Then they sent 20,000 troops to help Serbia defend Skopje, the largest city in Macedonia. In addition, Romania has already conquered one-third of Bulgaria, and every general sitting here knows that Bulgaria has reached the most dangerous moment after independence. Now they still have the slightest possibility of slackening, and all of them are energized to face the crucial battle.

Lieutenant General Salvo saw the generals who listened carefully to his explanation, and continued to talk after sighing inwardly. Since the Tzarevitz Mountain is not too big, it is enough to put 70,000 to 80,000 people to defend this key point. I plan to have the seventh division defend the position opposite the Yantra River to the east, because our army has Tzarevitz. Shan, I believe that the pressure of the seventh division will not be too great. The fourth division defends the line from the Tsarewicz Mountains to the town of Livar in the north. The eleventh division defends Hebia in the west to ensure our back road. The third The Independent Brigade is defending the south to prevent Romania from attacking us. The rest of the divisions are ready to reinforce the divisions.

After listening to Lieutenant General Salvo's arrangement, careful people will realize that the 6th Army Minister's arrangement for this battle can only be quite satisfactory. The Tsarewicz Mountains, which will inevitably be attacked by the Romanian army, will be heavily defended. At the same time, a main division will be placed on each side, and a good division will be sent to protect their own back. To the south, near the line of defense that was least likely to be attacked in the Balkan Mountains, a newly formed independent brigade was placed, and the remaining divisions were placed in the city to prepare for support. And the wonderful raid on the Sehi two countries before, they are completely two extremes.

After the explanation, Lieutenant General Salvo asked all the generals present whether they understood.

Based on Lieutenant General Salvo's previous record and the prestige of peacefully managing the army, everyone answered in unison. Understood.

Seeing that many generals were still a little confused about him this time, Lieutenant General Salvo didn't want to explain too much, so he told them. Now that you understand, let's break up.

At this time, a group of generals, like elementary school students, left the combat conference room one by one. At this time, Lieutenant General Salvo shouted to Lieutenant General Kudinchev, commander of the First Army. Lieutenant General Kudinchev, please stay.

When Lieutenant General Kudinchev heard the words of Lieutenant General Salvo, Minister of the 6th Army, he turned and walked in front of him and asked. Lord Salvo, is there anything else?

Hearing Lieutenant General Kudinchev's question, Lieutenant General Salvo rubbed his hands in embarrassment. Lieutenant General Kudinchev, since the Romanian army is expected to attack in the next two days, and the first army is our absolute main force, and you are also relatively familiar with the position on the Tsarewicz Mountain, it is estimated that we cannot change it for the time being. You are down.

Hearing that the Minister of the 6th Army was looking for him because he had promised to switch defenses, Lieutenant General Kudinchev said generously. Isn't this a promise based on the Romanian attack. Now we're not attacked, and there's really no better defender than us, so let's see how strong the Romanian army is.

Hearing that Lieutenant General Kudinchev didn't care at all, Lieutenant General Salvo was also very happy to say. Then I will hand over the key points of the battle of Zarevitz Mountain to you. I hope your Excellency can turn it into a nail and nail it in our hands.

Don't worry, I will.

After Lieutenant General Kudinchev finished speaking, he strode out of the door. He could see that Ferdinand I was still waiting beside him, and it seemed that he had an important discussion with the Minister of the 6th Army.

Sure enough, after Lieutenant General Kudinchev left, Ferdinand I couldn't wait to ask. General Salvo, why can't we raid the Romanian army this time as we did last time?

Looking at King Ferdinand whose face was full of reasons, Lieutenant General Salvo reluctantly told the reason why he didn't want to. Your Majesty, we were able to raid the Sehi two armies because their training and morale were not as good as ours, and we were better than them in machine guns and artillery. When we concentrated all our firepower and slammed into one of them, they were prepared. I don't think we have so much courage. The Romanian army is different. From time to time, they have a mobilization system like us, but a standing army. This makes them a lot better than us in terms of battlefield responsiveness and adaptability. And weapons We can't compare. I know them carefully. There are more than 200 machine guns in a division in Romania. We all know the power of this weapon in defense and offense. We can only use the method before, if we use it again, it will be Inflicting huge losses, then this battle is basically impossible to win. And I calculated before that if there is a surprise attack, the success rate is only 5%, which is too low for me to take this risk.”

After listening to Lieutenant General Salvo's explanation, Ferdinand I expressed his worries. But we are far worse than Romania in terms of artillery. They have almost 900 artillery pieces, and we have less than 800 artillery pieces. There is no way to compare in terms of caliber. We mainly focus on small-caliber artillery pieces. It is medium and large caliber. This time they also brought a 36 21o caliber heavy artillery regiment over. You also know the power of this heavy artillery, and every one of our current fortifications can withstand its blow.

Hearing the king's words, Lieutenant General Salvo knew what the king meant, which was the difference between slow death and early death. But he has no other way now, after all, everyone can see the gap between the two armies.

Lieutenant General Salvo said with a sigh. Then we can only defend Tarnovo with the determination to die.

Hearing that the Minister of the 6th Army intends to defend with human life, this city that Bulgaria cannot give up.

Ferdinand I also knew that this was the last resort, and he now regretted not pulling Romania into his camp.

However, if he knew the price of Romania, it is estimated that this idea would be dispelled.

The ps steamed buns are finally finished now, everyone be happy.
