In the headquarters of the First Army, the commander, General Pleshan, was speaking to the chief of staff, Major General Zamfer.
"The Cavalry Division and the Third Division have already crossed the river, and the Second Division is also crossing the river. Let the Twelfth Division hurry up."
Chief of Staff Major General Zamfir persuaded him. "Chief of General Staff, you are too impatient. You must know that the 12th Division is stationed in Slobozia, which is the farthest in the entire army. Now they are fast enough. Moreover, Bulgaria is completely undefended against us, so there is no need for them to rush here in a hurry, as long as they follow the prescribed time."
When Pulesan heard what his chief of staff said, he knew that he was a little impatient. However, he was the one who made almost the entire plan. Now he is also under a lot of pressure, so he presses the subordinate divisions in terms of requirements. , as if they were afraid that they would not be able to keep up with the plan.
After seeing that Lieutenant General Plesan listened to his words, Chief of Staff Major General Zamfir continued. "And if we move too fast, our First Army will form a rash advance, which may provide an opportunity for the Bulgarian army. "
Pleshan heard what the chief of staff said and explained to him. "I have already considered this. When we and the third army attack Suman and Varna respectively, they will block the Bulgarian reinforcements that may arrive in advance. .I believe that in front of the Second Army, even the 120,000 Bulgarian troops cannot break through their defense line."
Major General Zamfir knew that Chief of the General Staff Plesan had stopped this. With the Second Army's fortifications and sophisticated equipment, it was estimated that it would not be a problem to withstand the Bulgarian army of 160,000 people.
The Romanian Second Army, which the two men were concerned about, after defeating the small enemy force in Ruse, rushed non-stop to the next stop, Biala.
The small city of Biala is located between Ruse and Polski, and there is a road to Pliven. It is a strategic point. However, due to the strength of the troops, there are only one regiment of troops guarding here, more than half of which They were still militiamen recruited locally. So Lieutenant General Andrew arranged for the 2nd Guards Division to be responsible for capturing this place, but now the 2nd Guards Division is still thirty kilometers away from Biala.
"hurry up."
A company commander with the rank of captain was sweating profusely in front of the sun and urging his soldiers to hurry up. These soldiers were even worse than the company commander. Their uniforms looked like they had been fished out of the water, and they were breathing heavily. He walked tiredly and exhaustedly.
The division commander Admiya who was observing all this saw that his soldiers were too tired and said to a messenger next to him, "Let the soldiers rest for half an hour before leaving."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the fiery sun in the sky, wiped the sweat from his face, and cursed secretly, "This is damn weather."
"Okay, Commander, please save your strength. It's impossible for us to reach Biala today in this weather."
Chief of Staff Weidelph saw that his partner was dissatisfied with the weather and spoke to persuade him.
After hearing what the Chief of Staff said, Commander Admiya looked at the sky again, still shining with dazzling light, and said ruthlessly, "It seems we can only arrive tomorrow."
"The division commander ordered a temporary break of half an hour."
As the messenger conveyed the order, the officers and soldiers of the Second Guards Division stopped. They each found a place under the shade of a tree to rest. Some people took out their water bottles and took a sip, and more of them were just sitting there. I started masturbating under the shade of a tree for a while to regain my strength.
Commander Admiya looked at the still exhausted soldiers in front of him and asked the chief of staff beside him. "Have any of our soldiers fainted from heatstroke?"
After hearing Division Commander Ademia's question, the Chief of Staff told him, "There are about ten of them. I have arranged for doctors to help these people. But walk slowly today. There shouldn't be too many people suffering from heat stroke."
After hearing what the Chief of Staff said, Commander Admiya frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "If we don't reduce the speed, we will arrive in Biala early tomorrow morning."
The chief of staff frowned and said with concern. "However, there are probably at least dozens of people suffering from heat stroke like this."
Division Commander Admiya said firmly without turning his head. "Heat stroke will not kill anyone. Let the transportation group behind us take care of these people who suffer from heat stroke. We will move forward at the current speed."
After hearing what Commander Admiya said, the chief of staff could only do as he was told.
After resting for half an hour, the Second Guards Division began to move towards its destination, Biala.
The next morning, the 2nd Guards Division finally arrived at Biala. A Bulgarian regiment had already deployed here to block the 2nd Guards Division.
Division Commander Ademia and his Chief of Staff were on the high ground and began to observe the Bulgarian fortifications. Due to the rush of time, they only dug trenches outside the town and stacked sandbags in the town. The soldiers stationed in them
Most of them are elderly people over fifty, and there are also children who are only 15 or 6 years old.
Looking at such crude fortifications and such troops, Major General Admiya felt that if he allowed them to defend for a long time, he would be derelict in his duty. Thinking of this, Commander Admiya said in a deep voice to the chief of staff beside him.
"Let the artillery fire and the second regiment prepare to attack. We will have lunch in the town at noon."
"OK"
The chief of staff gave the order to a waiting messenger, who quickly ran down to deliver the order.
Following the order of Commander Ademia, the 18 75 mountain artillery battalions of the Mountain Artillery Battalion, which could keep up with the footsteps of the Second Guards Division, began to bombard the Bulgarian soldiers stationed on the position.
"Boom~boom~boom"
Although the artillery fire was not fierce, there were still some signs of instability in the garrison, which was mostly composed of militiamen. The officers and soldiers of the Second Guards Division faintly heard that there seemed to be crying coming from the defensive position over there. Only after these were taken
How can a militiaman who has only been armed for less than a few days be trained to withstand artillery fire? If he can line up well and know how to shoot, then the commander will be well trained.
Before the bombardment ended, the Second Regiment launched an attack. After these Bulgarian troops saw the Second Guards Division launching an attack, many people fired at them under the gunfire. However, their accuracy was worrisome, and they did not see a single Second Regiment for a long time.
The soldier fell.
Commander Admiya couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this scene through the telescope. If he could hit someone four to five hundred meters away, it would require God's blessing. He saw that the defenders here were very weak. But when he thought about it
That's right, Bulgaria has mobilized nearly half a million troops with a population of 4 million. It's crazy if there are still enough troops of the right age.
The soldiers of the Second Regiment ducked and rushed towards their position. After approaching 300 meters, the artillery stopped shelling for fear of hurting their own people. At this time, the firepower of the Bulgarian defense also increased greatly. From time to time, soldiers were knocked down, but it did not affect them at all.
The morale of the Second Regiment. As the distance approached, the gunfire of the Second Regiment's counterattack came as expected. Compared with these soldiers who had only been in the army for a few days, they were much more accurate. In the trenches, people kept being hit in the head and fell.
On the ground. Various machine guns of the Second Regiment also joined in, making these defensive soldiers unable to raise their heads. Seeing people around them being hit from time to time, these Bulgarian recruits finally couldn't help it. From time to time, some people dropped their guns and ran away.
go.
Seeing the low morale of the defenders, the Second Regiment launched a general attack, completely ignoring the bullets fired from the opposite side. Seeing such a scene, the defending Bulgarian soldiers ran even more. By the time the Second Regiment rushed into the trench, almost half of them
They are all running to the rear.
"Follow me the first battalion."
The commander of the second regiment shouted to his first battalion, so the soldiers of the second regiment detached themselves to continue the pursuit. The remaining soldiers began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Bulgarian soldiers who were still holding their positions.
It was obvious that these soldiers who could not even shoot accurately were no match for Romanian soldiers who had been training for several years. They all fell on the positions they held.
Seeing this scene, Commander Admiya said to the Chief of Staff beside him, "Let's go over."
After holding on to their positions and suffering heavy casualties, Bulgaria surrendered more and more to the Second Regiment. After all, hand-to-hand combat requires not only courage but also rich skills, which these Bulgarian recruits and second-line troops lack.
After the Second Regiment dealt with the Bulgarian soldiers on the position, some people were left to guard the prisoners. Others, led by a major battalion commander, began to search house by house in the town for the escaped Bulgarian soldiers.
