Romanian Eagle

The 323rd chapter Bulgarian campaign (2)

? In Suman, a city not far from Bulgaria's existing border, a large number of soldiers flooded the city.

Residents in the city have become accustomed to this. Since the outbreak of the war more than a month ago, there have been many soldiers in Suman City. They built sandbags, built bunkers, and pulled barbed wire here. At that time, many people felt that this place was going to be a battlefield, and some people were scared to flee to the countryside. As a result, nothing happened, but recently there have been more and more soldiers, which made many people speculate whether they are going to use force against Bulgaria next door.

In fact, there are not only soldiers stationed in the city of Suman, but there are many soldiers stationed in Varna and Ruse, but there is no Sumando. The reason for this situation is that the headquarters of the Bulgarian combat army was also established in Suman.

In the headquarters, Fleet, who had just taken office as a new officer, was making his last preparations before the war.

"Everyone, the target of our operation is very clear, that is, Sofia, the capital of the enemy. According to the information we have learned, Bulgaria has formed a new sixth army as a response, with a force of 180,000 people, and the commander is Kudingche. Lieutenant General."

Looking at the commanders who were sitting quietly below and listening to his own tactics, Feireit lamented that he was one of them once, and that he had a chance to stand out in the Balkan War. After a sigh, Freiette continued to speak.

"This sixth army is currently stationed in Veliko Tarnovo, Pleven and Norwich, completely blocking our army's attack on Sofia. So according to the army's operational plan, the third and seventh divisions are stationed in Ruse. As the vanguard, they will conduct tentative attacks on the enemy in Veliko Tarnovo. Lieutenant General Mandive, the commander of the three divisions, is in charge. The left wing is in charge of the 12th Division, the right wing is in charge of the 2nd Imperial Guard Division, and the other divisions follow the command. ."

Then Lieutenant General Freiit continued to talk about some key points and precautions for the battle one after another. The entire conference room was quiet, and all the generals who participated in the meeting were carefully taking notes and recording their tasks.

"Okay, let's go."

As Lieutenant General Fereit, who presided over the meeting, sounded the end of the meeting, the door that had been pressing for more than two hours was pushed open, and the generals with the generals on their shoulders walked out of the conference room one after another. Lieutenant General Fereit, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, and Major General Salda, the chief of staff, finally walked out.

"Commander, Chief of Staff, this is a new plan for the construction of the fortifications in Veliko Tarnovo and Pleven."

A staff officer spoke to the two with a document.

Before Lieutenant General Fereit reached out his hand, Chief of Staff Salda reached out and took it. "Give it to me first."

Freyte was also not surprised by the actions of the Chief of Staff,

speak directly. "The intelligence department has made a lot of contributions this time, and even got the distribution map of the fortifications. I think I must also give them credit."

"I just don't know which department took the credit."

In the face of the Chief of Staff's inquiry, Lieutenant General Fereit, who knew some intelligence departments, said with a smile. "That's what you need to ask Milok and Carust's captain."

Then the lieutenant general changed the subject. "Look at others first to find out about Bulgaria's domestic situation and troop deployment, and then to find out the fortification defense map. They have already paved the way for us. If the mission fails, there is really nothing to say."

In the face of Lieutenant General Freiette's words, Major General Zelda nodded in agreement.

"Our group army is the most elite, almost all standing divisions, and two of the three major ace divisions have come, there is no reason why they can't win the opponent."

Facing the words of the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Freiit said something else. "I heard that the Battle of Thessaloniki has stopped?"

"Yes, the Allies have sent a telegram, saying that their losses are too great, and the Battle of Salonika is about to go on. However, the Chief of the General Staff has sent them a note, requesting that the Allies must continue this battle. It is related to the opening of our external channels."

The chief of staff's words made Feleit grumble. "These people from the Allied countries are really fighting too badly. Didn't we find out clearly? Bulgaria has about 200,000 elites, and the others are not as good as our second batch of mobilization divisions. These Allied forces can't be opened. situation."

In the face of his partner's complaints, Major General Zelda said with a wry smile. "It's not that you don't know the situation. The environment in Thessaloniki is not good, and it is said that there are 500,000 Allied troops, but in fact most of them are composed of Serbian and Greek troops. We all know the Serbian army and the performance of the Greek army. Oops, don't you know?"

The chief of staff's words reminded Fereit of the performance of the Greek army in the Balkan war, which really can't be expected too much. Then the chief of staff's voice rang again. "And the few British and French troops left, most of them are colonial soldiers, their abilities are not comparable to the local soldiers, the only ones who are better are the Australian and New Zealand soldiers. And I heard that this attack is the Australian and New Zealand soldiers. New soldiers and Serbian soldiers as the main force."

The words of the chief of staff made Lieutenant General Freiit think. "It is better for the Allied forces to continue the Battle of Thessaloniki, even if the offensive intensity is a little lower. This can consume the few materials in Bulgaria's reserves. According to the information, the Bulgarians are about to run out of food."

In the face of Lieutenant General Freiit's question, the chief of staff helped him recall. "Yes, according to intelligence, 42% of Bulgaria is currently lacking food."

Lieutenant General Fereit said disdainfully. "It's no wonder that only 6 million people dare to recruit soldiers in their early 100s. They are not short of food."

Yes, Fereit is right, Bulgaria has the highest mobilization rate among the participating countries, and its 18% mobilization rate far exceeds that of other countries. However, Bulgaria mobilized so many soldiers, but did not have enough ordnance to equip them. Many divisions lacked guns and artillery, and there were even rifle divisions.

Before the Allies did not pay much attention to Bulgaria, because it was too far from the main battlefield. It is different now that Romania joins, except that Russia is defeated and faced with the free German and Austrian army, Britain, France, Italy and other countries pay more attention to the Western Front and the Italian battlefield. As for the situation in the Balkans, we can only wait for Britain and France to block the German attack. Now the Battle of Thessaloniki is their biggest support for Romania.

Lieutenant General Freiit, who knew this clearly, said to the chief of staff. "This time our battle will not only defeat the enemy militarily, but also disintegrate them in terms of people's livelihood. For this reason, the General Staff has asked the government to prepare 40,000 tons of grain. This is also our ammunition, the ammunition for the Bulgarian people. ."
