Chapter 138 Bulgarian Raid

At 2:00 pm on June 29, the headquarters in Miloka town was full of stars, and Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov, Minister of War, was standing in front of a military map where the enemy and allies were deployed. Give them a final explanation.

"When the Fourth Division breaks through the front-line positions, the Third Army must keep up with the expansion of the breakthrough, and the Fourth Division will continue to advance in depth, regardless of the sides, and hand over to the Third Army to deal with it."

Speaking of which, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov pointed to the name of General Ivanov, the commander of the Third Army. "General Ivanov, your third group, you need to send at least half of your troops to follow the fourth division to provide follow-up support."

After hearing Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov's words, General Ivanov stood up and replied with a serious face. "Follow your orders."

After receiving an answer from General Ivanov, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov continued. "The main purpose of this operation is to defeat the Serbian army in our Ohrid area. Of course, we will also consider whether to liberate other parts of Macedonia according to the actual situation, but it still depends on the results of the generals."

After speaking about the Ohrid region, he looked at Lieutenant General Vasil Kudinchev and asked about his preparations. "Lieutenant General Vasil Kudinchev, how are you preparing?"

Lieutenant General Vasil Kudinchev stood up and replied when he heard the Minister of War call him by his name. "We are ready. The 2nd Independent Artillery Regiment (18 75 Mountain Artillery, 36 75 Field Artillery) and the artillery owned by our army group are currently close to the front line position of the Bitolasai Army. We plan to wait until night. The attack is coming. The 1st Division of the striker, which we have prepared for the assault, is resting near the position where the attack was launched."

Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov answered with satisfaction after hearing Lieutenant General Vassil Kudinchev's explanation. “Very good, well done”

He then asked the generals below. "Anyone who doesn't understand the plan now?"

Seeing that no one answered, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov spoke to the general sitting below. "Return to their own troops to make final preparations, and disband them all. General Vidic will stay."

Soon the crowd was gone, leaving the fourth division commander, Major General Vidic. The General Vidic was only 1.6 meters tall, with a pair of glasses and a bookish look on his face. From his face, it was difficult for anyone to regard him as a soldier. However, in this war against the Ottomans, this little general who was not like a soldier had fought a lot of tough battles, so he was chosen as an assault force.

Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov stepped in front of him and asked. "Major General Vidic, your performance this time is related to the direction of this war. Tell me if you need anything else now, otherwise the battle will start."

Hearing the concern of the Minister of War,

Major General Vidic said very seriously. "Our fourth division is now ready, this time I will lead the soldiers to take back our territory for Bulgaria."

Hearing that Major General Vidic refused to mention the needed supplies, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov knew that the Fourth Division was fully prepared, so he let him go. After doing this, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov walked into an adjacent room. Ferdinand I is sitting here, and he can obviously hear the content of the previous meeting.

Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov said after saluting the king. "Your Majesty, now the army is ready, let's see the result tonight."

Ferdinand looked at a Jesus statue in the room and asked without looking back. "My Minister of War, do you think we can succeed this time?"

Hearing the questioning tone of the king, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov said firmly. "Your Majesty."

Major General Vidic left his headquarters in Miloka town and drove to the front, and now his 4th Division soldiers are replenishing their strength before the battle. They didn't wake up until the sun was about to set at 6 o'clock. The food was already prepared by the cooks in the back. There were bread, potato roast beef, pea cheese soup, sausage and other food, which was not bad. The officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division ate their prepared dinners in twos and threes, chatting about topics they were interested in while eating.

After dinner, some of the soldiers looked at photos of their family members, some smoked their pipes, and some continued to fall asleep again as if they were fine. This state remained until eight o'clock. At eight o'clock, everyone in the fourth division got up. They took their weapons in units of companies and started to walk to the launching position 3 kilometers away. No one spoke, they were all silent like a group of ghosts, just making footsteps. the sound of.

Major General Vidic looked at his subordinates on the move, and said to the chief of staff beside him with satisfaction. "It seems that there is still great hope for our raid."

"I don't think the problem is too big." The chief of staff also expressed his judgment.

When they arrived at the launching position, they found that the situation was too optimistic.

Major General Vidic said with an ugly face. "Damn, these Serbs are wary of us, like an extra brigade."

He used the moonlight to observe the Serbian positions on the opposite side, only to find that the first-line positions had increased their strength, and even the fires in front of the positions had increased a lot. But now that the Fourth Division is ready to launch an attack, it is absolutely impossible to stop.

The chief of staff also saw this situation and asked Major General Vidic. "Then what do we do?"

Major General Vidic said to the Chief of Staff after thinking. "Give an order to the troops below, or secretly approach the Serbian position for 400 meters. If there is gunfire and an immediate raid is launched, the artillery will intercept their follow-up support troops."

After hearing Major General Vidic's arrangement, the chief of staff immediately replied. "Okay, I'll give the order now."

In this way, after layers of communication, Major General Vidic's order was known to every soldier who was about to attack.

When the time came to ten o'clock in the evening, the 4th Division quietly figured out its position and began to bend over to touch the Serbian position.

In the first-line defense of Serbia, the 6th Division Corporal Peter Loch is bragging on the position with a new recruit who has just arrived. "You have to know that I, Peter Lodge, killed a total of 5 Ottoman soldiers in the previous battle with the Ottomans, and one of them killed 2 Ottoman soldiers. When the Ottoman army wanted to attack us, I was wise to listen to it. Out."

The recruit asked very politely. "How can this be heard?"

Facing the curious recruit, Peter Lodge recalled the words of the soldier who discovered the attack. "At that time, I was also guarding the position. When the Ottoman army sneaked over, all kinds of bugs that liked to chirping became quiet. I shouted a flare in response at that time, and they were illuminated at once. With our cooperation, we repelled their sneak attack."

After Peter Lodge finished speaking, the recruit listened carefully. "It seems that the insects have really stopped."

Hearing the new recruit's words, Peter Lodge's expression changed, and upon closer inspection, there were no insects, and he shouted behind him. "Hit flares."

A flare hit the sky and illuminated everything in front of the position. Peterloch looked at the group of Bulgarian soldiers three or four hundred meters away from the position, and he shouted. "Someone attacked."

Then the first shot of the war was fired.

ps I recommend the Bulgarian Empire written by a book friend. This is the rhythm of fighting with me. Interested book friends can go and see it. It is still a seedling.
