Chapter 138： Raid in Bulgaria

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon on June 29, the command center in Miloka town will gather stars, and the Secretary of the Army, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov, is standing in front of a military map where the enemy is armed. Give them a final explanation.

"When the Fourth Division breaks through the first-line position, the Third Army must keep up with the expansion of the breakthrough, and the Fourth Division does not take care of both sides to advance in depth, and hand over to the Third Army to deal with it."

Speaking of this, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov named General Ivanov, the commander of the Third Army. "General Ivanov, your third group, you need to send at least half of your troops to follow the fourth division to provide follow-up support."

After hearing Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov's words, General Ivanov stood up and replied with a serious face. "Your Excellency."

After receiving the answer from General Ivanov, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov continued. "This battle is mainly to defeat the Serbian army entrenched in our Ohrid region. Of course, we will also consider whether to liberate other parts of Macedonia based on the actual situation, but we still need the results of your generals to determine."

After speaking about the Ohrid area, he looked at Lieutenant General Vasil Kudinchev and asked about his preparations. "Lieutenant General Vasil Kudinchev, how are you preparing?"

After hearing the Secretary of the Army call himself by name, Lieutenant General Vasir Kudinchev stood up and replied. "We are ready. The supported 2nd Independent Artillery Regiment (18 75 mountain artillery and 36 75 field artillery) and our group army’s own artillery are now close to the Bitola Serbian army's first line of lurking positions. We plan to wait until the night. The advent is pushing to the attack position. The forward 1st Division, which we have prepared for the assault, is currently resting close to the attacking position."

Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov answered with satisfaction after hearing Lieutenant General Vasir Kudinchev's explanation. "Very good, good job"

He then asked the generals below. "Is there anyone who doesn't understand the plan now?"

Seeing that no one answered, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov told the general sitting below. "Return to their troops to make final preparations and disband all of them. General Vidic stay."

Soon the crowd was over, leaving Major General Vidic, the commander of the Fourth Division. The General Vidic is not tall and only 1.6 meters tall, with a pair of glasses and a bookish air, it is difficult for anyone to think of him as a soldier from the looks of it. However, in this war against the Ottomans, this little general, who is not like a soldier, fought a lot of tough battles, so he was selected as the assault force.

Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov stepped up to him and asked. "Major General Vidic, this time your performance is related to the direction of the war. Now if there is any need, just tell me, otherwise the battle will start."

Upon hearing the Secretary of the Army's concern, Major General Vidic said seriously. "Our 4th Division is now ready. This time I will lead the soldiers to take back the territory that belongs to us for Bulgaria."

Hearing that Major General Vidic refused to mention the materials he needed, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov knew that the Fourth Division was fully prepared, so he let him go. After finishing this, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov walked into a room next to him. Ferdinand I was sitting here, and he could obviously hear the content of the previous meeting.

Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov said after saluting the king. "Your Majesty, the army is ready now. It depends on the result tonight."

Ferdinand looked at a statue of **** in the room and asked without looking back. "My Secretary of the Army, do you think we can succeed this time?"

Hearing the king's questioning tone, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov said firmly. "My Majesty."

Major General Vidic left the headquarters in Miloka and drove to the front. Now his 4th Division soldiers are replenishing their strength before the battle. They didn't wake up until the sun was about to set at 6 o'clock. The food was prepared by the firemen at the back. There were bread, potato roast beef, pea cheese soup, sausage and other foods, which were not bad. The officers and soldiers of the 4th Division ate in twos and threes with the prepared dinner, and they ate and chatted about topics of interest to them.

Some soldiers after dinner were watching with pictures of their family members, some were smoking pipes, and some continued to fall asleep again as if nothing had happened. This state remained until 8 o'clock. At eight o'clock exactly, everyone in the Fourth Division got up. They took their weapons in units of companies and began to walk towards the starting position 3 kilometers away. No one spoke, all quietly like a group of ghosts, just making footsteps. the sound of.

Major General Vidic looked at his subordinates on the move, and said to the chief of staff beside him with satisfaction. "It seems that we have great hopes for a surprise attack."

"I don't think the problem is too big." The chief of staff also said his own judgment.

When they arrived at the starting position, they realized that the situation was too optimistic.

Major General Vidic said with an ugly expression. "Damn, these Serbs are wary of us, as if they have added a brigade."

With the help of moonlight, he observed the position on the opposite side of Serbia, only to find that the first-line position had increased its forces, and even the fire in front of the position had increased a lot. But now the Fourth Division is ready to launch an attack, it is completely impossible to stop.

The Chief of Staff also saw this situation and asked Major General Vidic. "Then what shall we do?"

Major General Vidic said to the Chief of Staff after thinking about it. "Give the order to the following troops, or sneak close to the Serbian position 400 meters, if there is a gunshot immediately launch a surprise attack, the artillery will intercept their follow-up support troops."

After hearing Major General Vidic's arrangement, the chief of staff immediately replied. "Okay, I'm going to give orders."

In this way, after layer-by-layer transmission, Major General Vidic's command was known to every soldier who was about to attack.

When the time came to ten o'clock in the evening, the Fourth Division quietly figured out the position, and began to bend over to touch the Serbian position.

Defending Serbia's first-line position, the 6th Division Corporal Petroch was bragging with a recruit who had just arrived. "You have to know that Peter Lodge killed 5 Ottoman soldiers in the previous battle with Ottomans. One time I killed 2 Ottoman soldiers. It was when the Ottoman army wanted to attack us, but I was wise to listen to it. Out."

The recruit asked very honestly. "How can this be heard?"

Facing this curious recruitPeter Lodge recalled the story of the soldier who discovered the sneak attack. "At that time, I was also guarding the position. When the Ottoman army sneaked over, all kinds of bugs that liked to call became quiet. At that time, one of my reactions shouted and hit the flares, and I immediately photographed them. In my comrades-in-arms With cooperation, we repelled their sneak attack."

After Peter Lodge finished speaking, the recruit listened carefully and said. "It seems that the insects really stopped."

Hearing this recruit's words, Peter Rocky changed his face, and when he heard that there were really no bugs, he yelled behind him. "Play flares."

A flare hit the sky to illuminate everything in front of the position. Peter Lodge looked at the Bulgarian soldiers three to four hundred meters away from the position, and he shouted. "Someone attacked."

Then the first shot of the war was shot.
