Romanian Eagle

Chapter 145 Attack Kingdom Sword (5)

"The third house on the right has an enemy."

A Romanian army squad leader shouted to his soldiers next to him. After hearing his squad leader's reminder, a bearded soldier saw that someone was aiming at him in the third house that was about to collapse, and he was so frightened that he ran to the corner quickly.

"Snapped"

Just as he was hiding at the foot of the wall, a gunshot rang out, hitting the wall five centimeters in front of him. His face turned pale with fright, and if he slowed down, he would most likely be hit. At this time, his comrades in arms had already discovered the Bulgarian soldier who shot him. Before he retreated, he quickly raised the rifle in his hand.

"Snapped"

After a single shot, the Bulgarian soldier fell from the window.

"Continue searching."

Seeing that there is no danger, the squad leader said to his soldiers.

They then resumed their search for the remaining Bulgarian soldiers in the area.

Today is the second day of the invasion of Varna by the Third Army. The Bulgarian defenders in Varna were under attack by the Third Army. They have retreated to a few places with strong fortifications such as the City Hall. The Varna garrison, which used to be as high as more than 30,000, is now less than 8,000. The others were either captured or killed, or went back to their respective homes.

Just in case, Lieutenant General Salamik ordered. We asked each division to draw out a regiment and began to search the occupied area. Many remnants were found, the largest of which was the remnants of a company.

Yesterday, Lieutenant General Salamik detected the intention of the defending commander, Major General Shaknosov. Taking advantage of his own artillery and strength, he launched a fierce attack and pulled a large number of artillery into the city. A large number of carefully arranged fortifications of the Bulgarian defenders were destroyed by the Romanian army's direct artillery. Later, when encountering stronger fortifications, the Third Army also pulled 150 heavy artillery into the city. In the face of Lieutenant General Salamik's unreasonable offensive, the defending commander, Major General Shaknosov, had no other choice.

In the face of Romania's powerful artillery, Varna has no other artillery except a few old-fashioned heavy coastal defense artillery. The second independent brigade owned more than 20 small-caliber artillery pieces. On the afternoon of the first day, due to the ferocious Romanian offensive and the situation was critical, Major General Shaknosf ordered a counter-attack, which was destroyed by the Romanian army.

Now facing this situation, Major General Shaknosf is also prepared in his heart. After all, he brings a second-line army and a group of militiamen who have only been recruited for two days, and the number is not dominant, so he can't resist the approach. 70,000 Romanian well-equipped troops are understandable.

In a messy room at City Hall,

Major General Shaknosf is meeting with an envoy of the Romanian army. It was a man who had come to represent peace talks, and it was clear that the Romanian army's intention was for them to surrender.

"Major General Shaknosf, now that we have the winner and loser, there is no point in continuing the fight. This will only cause more casualties to the people of this city. This is not advisable, in order to prevent us from continuing to hurt both sides. In a humanitarian spirit, our commander, Lieutenant General Salamik, wants this fight to end. We guarantee the safety of your life and property and will not have any other thoughts about you.”

After hearing the words of the peace negotiator, Major General Shaknosov knew that he would not be able to resist for long, but as a Bulgarian officer he was now willing to sacrifice his life for his country. So he answered firmly.

"Thanks to the messenger's willingness to bring peace, I am willing to shed the last drop of blood for the motherland."

After hearing the major general's words, the messenger of peace talks decided to do his part again.

"Your Excellency, I admire your respect for honor and your enthusiasm for the motherland. As a soldier of noble character, I think you should ask the soldiers for their opinions."

Major General Shaknosov knew that the representative of the peace talks was not at ease if he asked the soldiers' wishes. Then, every soldier will not love his motherland more than his life. Among them, there must be those who are not firm in their will, if this will shake the will of the army to fight. But he knew that he was going to die, so he couldn't make decisions for the soldiers. In the end, he decided to leave the decision of whether he would like to follow him to the soldiers and let them decide for themselves.

After thinking about this, Major General Shaknosf said to the negotiator. "I also want to give the soldiers the power to choose, so can you wait two hours before launching the attack?"

The negotiator spoke to Lieutenant General Salamik after thinking about the time he had given the defenders. "This should be no problem."

After hearing the representative's words, Major General Shaknosoff said it sincerely. "Thank you for your generosity to our soldiers."

Seeing that the major general had made up his mind, the negotiator stood up and said. "Then we'll never see each other again."

"No more seeing each other."

The messenger strode out of Major General Shaknosf's room. After walking out of the city government building, he came all the way to his army's position and said to Major General Gerasim, the commander of the Eighth Division, who was waiting for news. "The division commander, Major General Shaknosf, is unwilling to surrender, and intends to maintain his reputation and loyalty. I gave him two hours, and he intends to let the soldiers decide whether to follow him to continue the fight."

After hearing the words of the messenger who went to negotiate, Major General Gerasim said it indifferently. "Then let him show his reputation and loyalty."

After speaking, he turned to an artillery officer whose epaulette was a lieutenant colonel. "At that time, we need to trouble your heavy artillery regiment to support us."

The called officer spoke to Major General Gerasim politely. "We originally wanted to support you, so what's the trouble."

Major General Gerasim spoke with his hands on his chest. "Then let's wait two hours."

Nearly two hours later, many Bulgarian soldiers poured out of the municipal building defended by Bulgaria. The leading lieutenant colonel wore a white shirt over a rifle, indicating that they had come out to surrender, and a group of people were downcast in tatters. Seeing such a scene, Major General Gerasim waved his soldiers to let them take them away.

After doing all this. Major General Gerasim said to the lieutenant colonel just now. "Pull up your heavy artillery and fire at City Hall."

The lieutenant colonel of the heavy artillery regiment told him. "sure no problem."

With a wave of his hand, the four 150 heavy artillery guns behind the crowd gradually approached the municipal building, driven by the efforts of dozens of soldiers. There were still seven or eight hundred meters away from the municipal building, and they started to stop to load the shells.

Seeing that his soldiers were ready, the lieutenant colonel shouted. "fire"

"Boom~Boom~Boom"

After a burst of heavy artillery bombardment, the town hall has been reduced to ruins, guarded by Bulgarian soldiers including the loyal commander. Subsequently, several other strongholds in Varna fell one after another under the attack of the Romanian army, and Varna fell into Romanian hands since then.

In this battle, the Third Army suffered 4,567 casualties, while the defending Bulgarian army was almost wiped out, of which 18,071 people were captured and about 12,000 people died.

When the Third Army captured Varna, the First Army also captured Suman, then Targovi, and the Second Army also captured Polski. So far, the first phase of the Romanian army's goals has been completed.

The ps battle scene is not well written, I still have to continue to write it. Otherwise, there will be too many wars in the future without writing about it. The steamed buns are not skilled enough now, but they will slowly improve. Thank you for your support for the steamed buns. Thank you.
