On November 6, all newspapers in Romania widely reported the news of the kingdom’s declaration of war with Austria-Hungary (Romania has only submitted a declaration of war to Austria-Hungary). Then the newspapers extensively reported the news about the Romanians in Transylvania.
The humiliation by the Hungarians. The postman and the police distributed the recruitment list for the army, and the streets suddenly became depressed.
"Petrosani was taken."
In the General Staff Headquarters, a staff officer who had just received the latest information opened the door and announced the latest good news to the staff officers waiting in the hall.
The words of this reporting staff member made the officers waiting in the hall quiet for a moment, and then they burst into warm cheers. "Uh-huh!"
Then they began to discuss the current situation, and one of the officers seemed to be a senior military officer and began to give instructions on Romania's military layout.
"Really, this is great. We have completely overcome the obstacles of the Carpathian Mountains, and we are not at a disadvantage at all in terms of terrain."
"This is really good news. In addition, the Northern Army has already captured Krakan and Plotz Pass. Both our northern and southern armies have gotten off to a good start."
"That's true. There is currently no news about Army Group Center. Will there be any surprises?"
"This is impossible. After both the north and the south have achieved breakthroughs, the enemy is not stupid and will definitely not be able to send more troops to Brasov. Then the pressure on Army Group Center will be much less. This will definitely allow it to achieve a breakthrough. We will only
Just need to wait patiently.”
Of course, as the Chief of General Staff, Pulieshan must know the information that the staff officers can get before them, and detailed battle reports must be sent to him first. However, Puliesan is not the only one in his office today.
"Your Majesty, the 1st Guards Division has captured Petroshani. Petroshani was captured in less than a day. Lieutenant General Ankodar is indeed the one who dares to attack dryly."
His Majesty Pulishan revealed who the visitor was. Yes, he came to the General Staff in person to wait for the first-hand good news. And Lieutenant General Ankodar in Pulishan Pass was during the Second Balkan War.
Major General Ankodar, commander of the 5th Division who had outstanding performance in the Battle of Tarnovo.
Although he is not as good as Lieutenant General Freit who served as the director of education and served as the commander of the Northern Army in this battle, his ability can also be seen in his replacement of Lieutenant General Bloungat who retired due to old age.
Romania is the commander of one of the three main elite divisions, which puts Lieutenant General Ankodar at the top of the military hierarchy. The three giants of the military will not be without opportunities in the future.
"Have the follow-up troops followed?"
Facing the good news informed by Plesan, Edel was more concerned about the subsequent actions. Because no other troops were mobilized in the plan to keep it secret, Edel was a little worried about being pushed back by Austria-Hungary. However, for the successful attack on Petroshani
Of course he will not forget Lieutenant General Ankodar, but now is not the time to commend him. This will at least have to wait until Transylvania is completely captured.
Preshan, who understood the king's heart, immediately told the news he wanted to get. "Your Majesty's 19th Division has already been reinforced by a brigade of troops, and the remaining troops will arrive in Petroshani tomorrow morning. And now the other troops belong to the south
The troops of the Army Group have been assembled and can move in the direction of Deva."
Hearing the words of General Pleshan, Edel was also relieved. In this battle to attack Transylvania, anyone with a little military knowledge will know the role of the Southern Group Army in this battle. As long as it can
If Deva is captured, then Romania will have an advantage in this battle. Because this is the era, the military role of the railway cannot be overstated. Whoever allows Deva to have a railway connecting Romania and Austria-Hungary will have an important position.
It cannot be valued enough.
Just as Edel and Preshan were chatting about Army Group South, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Preshan knew that there must be something important when he knocked on the door at this time. As expected, his secretary came in and reported good news to him and the king. "Your Majesty, General, Army Group Center just sent a telegram. They captured Redaya."
Ershan Pass, this is the detailed telegram they sent."
The secretary was indeed very sensible and knew what the two big figures in the room were most concerned about, so he immediately handed the telegram out. And through his rapidly rising and falling chest and the steam on his head, it could be seen that he was the first to receive the news.
Run over.
"Thanks for your hard work."
General Pulie thanked him and took the telegram. This sentence made the secretary feel that everything was worth it, and then he respectfully replied, "It's not hard at all." After saying that, he walked out of the room.
Pu Lieshan opened the battle report and read it. He read it briefly and said to Edel, who was waiting for the news. "Your Majesty, Army Group Center had a small accident before, but it has recovered now. The whole process is in this letter."
The telegram says, Your Majesty, please read it."
Edel took the telegram and read it. In the telegram, Army Group Center described the reason why it sent the telegram so late. It turned out that their failed sneak attack alerted the defenders at Redayar Pass, and then they could only let the arrow troops
The 1st Brigade of the 8th Division attacked by force. Fortunately, the attack went smoothly. They captured the mountain pass before the Austro-Hungarian reinforcements arrived in Brasov. Now the 1st Brigade of the 8th Division is resisting the late Austro-Hungarian troops at this mountain pass.
Hungarian 23rd Division.
In addition, Army Group Center also stated in the telegram that other units of the 8th Division are already 20 kilometers away from the Redeyar Pass and will arrive at the pass tonight to ensure that they will not be recaptured by the Austro-Hungarian army.
Seeing the success of the initial raid, Edel couldn't help but ask. "It seems that Army Group Center is also going well, so should our next battle plan be launched immediately?"
Seeing that the king was full of expectations, General Pulie had no choice but to give up his idea. "Your Majesty, we can't do it yet. It takes time to assemble the troops, and it also takes time to transport weapons and ammunition. And we just issued the general mobilization today, all of which will take time.
"
Preshan rejected his suggestion, and Edel was not angry. "Okay, I'm just impatient."
Edel still has military common sense and knows that despite the success of the Romanian raid, it is all based on the standing army that has been trained for more than ten years. And he will soon fight for Transylvania. He also knows that only 400,000 standing troops will be needed.
It may not be possible to defeat the Austro-Hungarian army of one million, not to mention the Bulgarian army and the world's number one German army. This requires general mobilization. Edel can only wait now.
