Ollie has forgotten that day, when he woke up and saw that it was no longer the mountains and rivers of East Prussia, it was once a part of the huge Macedonian empire, and the sea winds of the Aegean Sea blew the land here. Perhaps because he is not used to the food here, he has lost more than 20 pounds, which is an unexpected gain.
After stretching a few lazy waists, Olly stepped out of his tent. The sky was only dim, but the flag of the Ori regiment was already flying against the wind on the camp. This is Turkey's Thessaloniki, the center of the activities of the young Turks. They not only developed organizations in the local garrison, but also established guerrillas in the countryside. The Ori regiment is stationed in a valley far away from Thessaloniki, which is also the base of several other guerrillas. Although the Ori regiment is a large armed force, the Turkish government and army did not notice it.
When Ollie started to wash his face, the wake-up number in the camp had already sounded. The calm camp suddenly became noisy. The sound of waking up, footsteps, and passwords, when Ollie washed his face, the right side of the camp was neat. Thousands of soldiers are standing together. This is the Ori regiment that makes him proud. The experience and tacit understanding of the veterans make every assembly and march neat and rapid. On the right side of the camp is a 200-man guerrilla team led by Kemal and 500 newly recruited locals. Many of them are still looking for their clothes. The officers ran back and forth and shouted passwords, but they couldn't even see To where his team is.
"Alas..." Olly shook his head. Such an army might have to spend a lot of effort to train.
"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, your troops are really enviable!" When Kemal came to Ollie somehow, he could not help sighing at the completely different scenes on both sides.
"It's Colonel Kemal, good morning!" Olly turned to look at the "Guerrilla Colonel" and smiled brightly. Before coming, Chen Tian repeatedly explained that he would work well with Kemal. "These are all It's a veteran! German recruits are the same as your troops, as long as they are trained well, they will also become an excellent army!"
"I have been in the Turkish army for several years. To be honest, they have no way to compare with your German troops." Kemal showed a very helpless expression. "They are backward in equipment, lack of training, and have low morale. Disappointing!"
"Aren't we easier to deal with such an army?" Olly turned to his tent. "Mr. Colonel, can you please have breakfast? I think it's time to discuss the plane!"
"Yes! It seems that the planes are all assembled, when can they fly?" Kemal followed into Ollie's tent.
"I'm afraid it won't work now. First of all, we can't let your government army see them, otherwise there will be trouble!" Olly took the coffee pot from the stove and poured it into Kemal and his cup. A glass. "Besides, we don't have much fuel now. According to our plan, we need to bring in weapons first, then fuel!"
"Oh! What about our weapons? His Royal Highness the Prince promised to provide us with 10,000 Mauser rifles, 20 Makqin machine guns, and 500,000 bullets!" Kemal was not in a hurry to drink coffee.
"I received a letter from the prince yesterday. Most of the weapons are being shipped to the steamship here!" Ori has already begun to enjoy his own breakfast-bread, eggs and coffee.
"That's good. Without weapons, we simply can't organize forces against government forces!"
"Mr. Colonel, can I know when you plan to start your revolution?" Oli glanced at Kemal. He still didn't intend to eat breakfast. Maybe he was worried that Oli's breakfast would become fat.
"This... we originally planned to arouse the military uprising in Thessaloniki. We expect other regions to respond. Next, we plan to force the Sudan to restore the constitution, otherwise we will enter Istanbul. But now with your help, we hope to Our troops begin to revolution after training, which will be a few months ahead of the previous plan!"
"That's great! My Ollie and I are so bored to be sick!" Olly waved his fists happily. "We have to teach those rubbish well!"
Two months later, the weapons requested by Kemal all arrived in Thessaloniki, and Kemal's troops reached more than 2,000 people, and began to take shape under the training of instructors. However, due to the large number of people in the camp, the government forces of Thessaloniki also seem to be aware of it, so Kemal and other leaders of the Young Turkish Party have met several times to discuss whether to launch an armed revolution in advance, but they have not reached an agreement with them. opinion. Fortunately, the fuel for the aircraft had also been delivered to the camp in batches. After discussing with Oli and Kemal, they felt that the aircraft should start flying training near the camp.
Lieutenant Fritz is a pilot in the flying squad that came here. He graduated from the pilot class at the Königsberg Military Academy two years ago and has been flying the Sky II and Sky III aircraft for hundreds of hours. Today he and his co-pilot Nico will fly the Sky III aircraft for the first time in the Turkish sky.
Buzz... the engine started in a roar, how familiar and sweet the sound was to Fritz.
"Nico, let's take off!" He waved to Nico in the back, increasing his horsepower, and the plane flew off the ground after bouncing on a simple airport.
"Oh! Sky, I'm back!"
"Fritz, let's fly back a little bit more! The lieutenant colonel said not to fly to a crowded place!" Nico reminded later.
"Got it! Let's fly a little higher!" Fritz pulled the joystick back, and the plane quickly jumped to an altitude of nearly a thousand kilometers. "Nico, take a good look at the scenery here! This is completely different from Germany! Look at the mountains here, the river here!"
"There seems to be a strange river ahead. I remember this location on the map should be a valley!" Nico suddenly shouted when he found something.
"Let's fly over and see!" At this time, the two guys had completely forgotten the flight range within 5 miles of the camp set up by Oli and Kemal for the flying team, but fortunately they flew over and watched...
"Oh my god! It's an army! It's a Turkish army, it seems there are thousands of people!" Fritz and Nico called out in surprise.
call...
The plane flew over the head of the Turkish army, then turned around and flew in the direction of their advance.
A week ago, the Turkish government received intelligence that thousands of rebels had accumulated in the village of Thessaloniki and were preparing to launch a rebellion. This army is exactly four infantry regiments dispatched from Thessaloniki by the Turkish government, with a total of 5,000 troops.
Fritz jumped down before the plane stopped, and ran to Ollie and Kemal who were watching the flight at the airport.
"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, we found a Turkish army about 15 miles south of us, and they are approaching us!"
"What?" Olly and Kemal looked at each other, "How many people are there?"
"Thousands of people!"
"How is it possible that there are our officers in the Salonika garrison, why have we not received intelligence?" Kemal was very puzzled.
"It doesn't matter! Let's prepare quickly, time is running out!" Although Olly had built a defensive position around the valley before, the time left for them was too hasty.
"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, let's delay them!" Fritz looked at Ollie, and then at the five planes on the airport. They could take off at any time.
"Okay! Lieutenant, these planes are under your command! You can see how to delay them as much as possible!" Olly nodded and ran towards the camp.
"Everyone is ready to take off. The co-pilot is carrying a pistol. It is better to pick up some more stones!" Fritz greeted the pilots to take off, but ran into the hangar himself, picked up a few wrenches and ran towards the plane . Before Nico could react, he threw those wrenches into his co-pilot.
"Nico, throw these things on their heads for a while!" Fritz said as he started the plane.
"Okay! It's a pity that our plane is too backward. I heard that we are already producing a plane that can drop bombs! It would be nice if we had that plane now!" Nico packed up the wrench that Fritz had dropped in. .
"Shut up! Nico! This kind of military secrets are not allowed to talk nonsense!" Fritz had already started the aircraft, then waved at the other four aircraft and took the lead. The pilots of several other planes also seem to have picked up something from the ground and carried it on the plane.
In less than 5 minutes, this special bomber formation flew over the unlucky Turkish army.
The Turkish soldiers saw what had just flown over again and stopped to watch.
Only this time, those things not only flew over their heads, but also gave them some wrenches and stones. The queue of the Turkish army was suddenly in chaos. The soldiers all looked for more places on the roadside, and the officers pulled out their pistols. Helping to watch the far-away plane.
"Um... great! Those Turks must be terrified!" The pilots of the flying team celebrated happily.
"Guys, give them one more time!" Fritz shouted loudly, and then asked Niko sideways: "Do you have any guys there?"
"The wrenches are still down, what should I do?" Nico shook his hand.
"Shoes! Belt! Panties! Throw everything you can!"
Nico sweats...
Fritz took the flying squad back and forth over the Turkish army a few times, throwing away a lot of messy things, and then went away.
At this time, the Turkish officers below were driving the evacuated soldiers back on the belt and waiting for them to go again, almost an hour had passed. At this time, Oli and Kemal had taken their troops to the defensive position in the south of the valley, and the weapons and ammunition were all in place.
"Come on! Hurry up and refuel us!" Fritz stopped the plane and greeted the ground crew to refuel the plane, and he ran to the barracks with his disheveled Nico.
"Hurry up! Everyone follow me to get some guns, ammunition, and grenades!"
Uh... slightly...
In the trenches, the soldiers of Orly and Kemal were loaded with bullets, and the 20 Makqin machine guns were also equipped with bullet belts. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the front, and on the distant horizon, a moving yellow line gradually appeared. ...
The commander of the Turkish army, General Fatih, was the new commander of the Turkish government transferred from Istanbul to Thessaloniki. Before he took office, he had to fire three fires and was ordered to block the barracks by the superiors. The infantry with these four regiments came out to "rebel." According to the information he received, the cause of this incident was that a group of arms, including several artillery pieces, were accidentally discovered when they were smuggled into Thessaloniki. The Turkish government attaches great importance and concerns to them. Prepare for rebellion. At the same time, the government received information that many armed elements gathered in the valley 100 miles south of Thessaloniki, and these people had a lot of response in the local garrison, so they ordered Fatih to close the camp door and suddenly bring troops. Come here.
Fatih looked at the team next to him. These soldiers dragged their heads one by one, their morale was very low, and after a few tossings of the planes just now, the military was even more disorganized. In this "rebellion", the exact number and equipment of the other party are not clear at all, but this time he brought a 6-pound cannon from the battalion. Those rebels from all over the world heard that the gun sounded estimated that they ran faster than the rabbit. Thinking of this, Fatih smiled disdainfully again, but when he thought of the planes just now, the dark clouds quickly climbed to his forehead again. This group of rebels would have such advanced things that they should not be taken lightly.
Fatih saw from the telescope that there were many trenches and trenches dug at the edge of the valley, and the rebels he wanted to suppress were hiding in the trenches behind those trenches.
"Stop the advance! The infantry lined up and the artillery is ready to shoot!" After entering the 6-pound range, Fatih commanded the Turkish army to launch an attack.
On Ollie's side, seeing the opponent's artillery began to prepare and ordered everyone to hide in the trenches. A few days ago, a batch of artillery was originally shipped from Germany, but when the ship was unloaded, it was discovered and confiscated by the Turkish government. Now they do not have any heavy weapons except for those Maxim and several mortars.
Boom... Boom...
A ray of white smoke rose from the position of the Turkish army, and the first battle of the Ori regiment began...
