In the headquarters of the First Army, the commander, General Preeshan, was speaking to the chief of staff, Major General Zamfil.
"The Cavalry Division and the Third Division have already crossed the river, and the Second Division is also crossing the river. Let the 12th Division hurry up."
Major General Zamfiel, chief of staff, persuaded him. "Chief of the General Staff, you are too impatient. You must know that the 12th Division is stationed in Slobozia, the farthest in the entire army. Now they are fast enough, and Bulgaria is completely undefended against us, so there is no It is necessary for them to rush over in a hurry, as long as they follow the stipulated time."
When Preshan heard the words of his chief of staff, he also knew that he was a little impatient. However, he did almost the entire plan, and now he is under a lot of pressure, so he urges the subordinates and teachers in terms of requirements, as if they are afraid that they will not be able to keep up with the plan.
After seeing Lieutenant General Prieshan listen to his words, Major General Zamfiel, Chief of Staff, continued to speak. "Moreover, if we act too fast, it will cause our First Army to form a trend of aggressive advancement, fearing that it will provide opportunities for the Bulgarian army."
When Preshan heard the chief of staff's words, he explained to him. "In this regard, I have considered that the Second Army will block the Bulgarian reinforcements that may arrive early when we and the Third Army respectively attack Suman and Varna. I believe that in front of the Second Army, the 120,000 Bulgarian army will also Can't break through their defenses."
Major General Zamfil knew that this was the chief of the General Staff Puleshan who closed it up. With fortifications and well-equipped Second Army, it is estimated that it should be no problem to resist the Bulgarian army, which can withstand 160,000.
The Romanian Second Army, who was worried by the two men, drove to the next stop by Biaala without stopping after breaking through the small group of enemy troops in Ruse.
The small city of Biala is located between Ruse and Polski, and there is a road to Pleven, which is a strategic point. However, due to the strength of the troops, only one regiment is guarded here, and most of them are militiamen recruited locally. Therefore, Lieutenant General Andrew arranged the 2nd Division of the Guards to take charge of this place, but now the 2nd Division of the Guards is still 30 kilometers away from Byala.
"Faster."
A company commander with the rank of captain was sweating profusely against the sun, urging his soldiers on their way. These soldiers were even worse than the company commander. They were wearing military uniforms as if they were fished out of the water, panting and striding with exhaustion.
The division commander Admia who observed all this nearby saw that his soldiers were really exhausted, and said to a messenger next to him. "Let the soldiers rest for half an hour before leaving."
After speaking, he looked at the fiery sun in the sky, wiped the sweat from his face, and cursed inwardly. "This **** weather."
"Okay, Master, you can save a little effort. It is impossible for us to reach Byala today in this weather."
The Chief of Staff Wedelf saw that his partner was dissatisfied with the weather and spoke to persuade him.
Hearing what the Chief of Staff said, Commander Admia looked at the sky again, still with a dazzling light, and said the rogue. "It seems that only tomorrow will arrive."
"The commander ordered a half-hour break."
Following the order sent by the messenger, the officers and soldiers of the Second Division of the Guards stopped. They each found a place sheltered by the tree to rest. Some people took out the water bottle and sipped a drink. Most of them started in the shade of the tree for a while, regaining their strength.
Commander Admia looked at the still exhausted soldier in front of him, and asked the chief of staff next to him. "Have our soldiers fainted from heat stroke?"
Hearing the question from Admia, the chief of staff told him. "There are about ten of them, and I have arranged for the doctor to help these people, but I walk a bit slower today. There shouldn't be too many people suffering from heat stroke."
Hearing what the Chief of Staff said, Commander Ademia frowned and thought about it. "Without slowing down, we will arrive in Byala early tomorrow morning."
The chief of staff frowned and said with some concern. "However, it is estimated that there are at least dozens of people suffering from heat stroke."
Master Admia said firmly without turning his head. "Heatstroke won't kill people. Let the transportation team at the back take care of these people, and we will move forward at the current speed."
After hearing what Admia said, the chief of staff could only do so.
After resting for half an hour, the Second Division of the Guards began to march towards their destination, Biala.
The next morning, the Second Division of the Guards finally arrived at Byala. A Bulgarian regiment has deployed here to block the footsteps of the Second Guard Division.
Commander Admia took the chief of staff on the high ground and began to observe the fortifications of these Bulgarians. Due to the rush of time, they only dug trenches outside the town and built sandbags in the town. Most of the soldiers stationed in it are elderly people over half a hundred years old, as well as children who are only 15 or 6 years old.
Looking at such simple fortifications and such troops, Major General Ademia felt that if he let them defend for a long time, he would be dereliction of duty. Thinking of this, Commander Admia solemnly instructed the chief of staff next to him. "Let the artillery fire. The second regiment is ready to attack. We will have lunch in the town at noon."
"Ok"
The chief of staff ordered a waiting messenger, and the messenger quickly ran down to convey the order.
With the order of Admia Division Commander, the 18 75 mountain cannons of the mountain cannon battalion that could keep up with the Second Guards Division began to bombard the Bulgarian soldiers stationed in the position.
"Boom~Boom~Boom"
Although the artillery fire was not fierce, the garrison regiment, which was mostly militia, still showed some signs of instability. The officers and soldiers of the Second Division of the Guards heard faintly, and there seemed to be crying from the defensive positions over there. These militiamen, who have only picked up their guns for less than a few days, have trained them to withstand artillery attacks. If they have a good queue, they know how to shoot even if the commander is well-trained.
The shelling was not over, the second regiment launched an attack. After these Bulgarian troops saw the Second Guards Division attacked, many people shot at them with gunfire. However, he was worried, and did not see a soldier of the Second Regiment fall down for a long time.
Commander Admia couldn't help but enjoy seeing this scene through the telescope. If he could hit someone from four to five hundred meters away, it would take God's blessing to do it. He saw that the defenders here were weak. However, he was right once he thought about it. Bulgaria has mobilized almost half a million troops with a population of four million. It will be a **** if there are still adequate troops.
The soldiers of the Second Regiment rushed towards their position with a cat waist. After approaching 300 meters, the artillery stopped the artillery for fear of injuring himself. At this time, the firepower of the Bulgarian defense also increased greatly. Soldiers were knocked down from time to time, but it did not affect the morale of the second regiment. As the distance approached, the second regiment counterattacked the gunfire as expected. They were much better than those who had been in the army for a few days. In the trenches, people were constantly hit on the head and fell to the ground. Moreover, various machine guns of the Second Regiment were also added, making these defensive soldiers unable to look up. Seeing people around him being shot from time to time, these Bulgarian recruits finally couldn't help it. From time to time, some people dropped their guns and fled back.
Seeing the defensive team's morale fell, the second regiment launched a general offensive, completely ignoring the bullets from the opposite side. Seeing such a scene, the defensive Bulgarian soldiers ran more. When the second regiment rushed into the trenches, almost half of the people ran to the rear.
"Yiying chased me over."
The commander of the Second Regiment yelled to the first battalion under the opponent's ~www.mtlnovel.com~, so the soldiers of the Second Regiment split out and continued pursuing. The remaining soldiers began a hand-to-hand battle with the Bulgarian soldiers who were still holding their positions.
Obviously, these soldiers who couldn't even shoot their guns accurately, the opponents of Romanian soldiers who had been training for several years, fell on the ground they were holding.
When Commander Admia saw such a scene, he spoke to the chief of staff beside him. "Let's go over."
Bulgaria, which held its ground, surrendered more and more to the Second Regiment after resisting heavy casualties. After all, hand-to-hand combat requires not only courage but also a wealth of skills, which these Bulgarian recruits and second-line troops lack.
After the Second Regiment settled the Bulgarian soldiers on the position, some of them were left to guard the prisoners. Others, led by a major battalion commander, began to look for the Bulgarian soldiers who had fled from house to house in the town.
