"We can finally go back to China again!" Chen Tian was deeply moved. He came to this world hoping to change the destiny of Germany, but now he has to stay away from Germany.
Hindenburg is a trustworthy person, and he has the ability to take care of the East Prussian Army when he is away. The Baltic Squadron has not yet found a suitable naval commander, but fortunately, the first task of this fleet is to train a group. The sailors who are skilled in new ships come. The German emperor's intelligence system shocked him, so he repeatedly urged Thomas to develop his own intelligence and counterintelligence system. In addition, he is very uneasy about the various research projects such as airplanes, tanks, and submarines. Without his points, engineers may detour in research and development. Fortunately, the housekeeper Zach decided to work for him for a few more years. He can feel more at ease about his finances, and Zach can handle the financial and weapon support for Kemal.
"I miss that beautiful place too!" Lisa nestled in Chentian's arms like a kitten, "As long as I follow you, I can go anywhere!"
Lisa's thoughtfulness has gradually made him forget the figure he was obsessed with. After seeing the Austrian princess for the last time that night in Vienna, Chen Tian never heard anything about her, and certainly did not hear about her death. Chentian felt that she might not have died, but had gone back to Russia with the Russian prince. Maybe they had already given birth to children, maybe they were enjoying the happiness of family relationship, and Chentian chose to forget.
"Right! You can still see your parents this time! But General Pascal and I will return to Germany after two weeks of handover. You will not see them for a long time by then!"
"Aren't you? Should we stay with Prince Heydrich and his wife for a few days!"
Under Lisa's reminder, Chen Tian remembered that it had been a long time since he had visited his parents in this world. In his impression, the faces of relatives in the world have been blurred in the past. He still has no feelings of relatives for the Prince Heydrich and his wife, perhaps because of the relationship between their identities. Chen Tian has spent time with them since childhood. Very few. But after everything was packed, he took Lisa to live with them for two days.
In April 1909, Chentian boarded the German light cruiser Eisen and began his third trip to China. In the heavens, it was destined that his fate with this ancient eastern country would never be broken.
At this time, thousands of miles away in Turkey, the reactionary government sent 50,000 elite troops including the Turkish Guards from Istanbul, unstoppably attacked the city of Salonika, and occupied it after a day of fierce fighting. The city then pointed its sharp edge at Cassandra where Kemal is located.
In Cassandra's combat command room, everyone sat quietly in front of the map. This time the opponent's main force is the most elite Guards in the Turkish Army. Under the frenzied attack of 10,000 Guards soldiers, the positions defended by the 15,000 Young Turkish Party were all lost in one morning. In the street fighting, this well-trained and well-equipped unit quickly urged the resistance of the resisters.
"This is the most powerful enemy we have ever encountered. Think about how to deal with them!" In the battle to defend Thessaloniki two days ago, Kemal personally led 5,000 reinforcements to support him, and he encountered nearly outside the city. The three regiments of the guards were finally repelled by the opponent, and they lost more than a dozen cannons and a large number of weapons. Now the morale of Cassandra's other troops is also greatly affected.
Everyone remained silent. According to Kemal's introduction, the guards had a large amount of artillery support during the offensive, and the artillery would cease when the assault troops entered the opponent's position. One's own artillery fire killed and wounded, and the extent of this troop's frantic attack is also evident.
For a long time, Ollie took out a piece of paper and drew it, and then explained his tactics to everyone. They were stunned and then gladly agreed.
Two days later, the government began to advance to Cassandra. The main attackers were 9,000 soldiers from 6 infantry regiments of the Turkish Guards, and another 5 general Turkish regiments with 6,500 soldiers and one artillery regiment with 40 artillery. In the attack, they also had 2 Sky I aircraft obtained from Germany for reconnaissance.
"General, an enemy position was found 5 miles ahead!" A plane landed near the moving Turkish army, and the pilot reported the intelligence to the commander of the army.
"Apart from the positions, are you sure there are no ambushes elsewhere?" the Turkish commander asked.
"Yes, General! Except for the hillside where the opponent's position is located, there is no place to hide the troops around!"
"Very good! Report the opponent's strength and artillery!"
"There are about 5,000 soldiers and about 10 artillery pieces! The opponent has arranged a line of defense on the front and the top of the slope, and they seem to have dug a trench behind the slope!"
"Behind the hillside?" The Turkish commander felt that Kemal was probably rusty. When the offensive troops rushed to the top of the hill, they could easily occupy the position behind the hillside. "Order the troops to attack!"
At this time, the Ori aircraft flew over their heads briskly and reported the situation of the Turkish government forces to the ground forces by radio. Their Sky IV aircraft had been equipped with radios that could communicate with the ground.
Half an hour later, the government's artillery fire began to fire at Orly's position, and the Turkish Guards began to advance before the artillery ceased. They didn't know that they were facing 4,000 German soldiers from the Ori Mercenary Corps. These well-trained German veterans had hidden into the trenches behind the hillside when the shelling began.
When the first Turkish Guards soldiers rushed into the opponent's first trench, the Turkish artillery stopped firing. This poor Turk jumped into the trench but released something under his feet...
boom...
boom...
Ollie asked the soldiers to lay many mines in the trenches and positions in front of the hillside. When the Turks were shelling, many mines on the positions were detonated, but the mines in the trenches were basically intact. The Turkish assault force entered the first trench, and landmines were detonated one after another, and the casualties of the Turks increased sharply.
At this time, a short whistle sounded from the back of the hill, and many helmets appeared on the top of the hill. Oli's soldiers quickly climbed up from the trenches behind the hill and used rifles, grenades and "Firebirds" on the top of the hill. The light machine gun attacked the Turkish soldiers on the hillside, and then the Maxim heavy machine gun was also lifted up. The Turkish Guards of the first two regiments were quickly hit near the first trench of Orly, with more than 2,000 soldiers. Only a few hundred wounded soldiers were hiding in the first trench immobile.
Hush...
Soon the whistle sounded again, all of the helmets on the top of the slope disappeared, and Ollie's soldiers retreated to their positions behind the slope.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, the Turkish government army's position sounded the sound of cannon fire. The Turkish artillery industriously bombarded Ollie's positions on the hillside and the top of the slope several times.
It was not until the second wave of Turkish soldiers had all entered the first trench on the hillside that their artillery stopped.
A short whistle sounded, and Ollie's troops appeared on the top of the hill again. They still shot at the Turkish soldiers from a high level. The first trench was dug straight forward and inclined to the top of the hill, so that The trenches did not provide a good protection for the Turks. Ten minutes later, when the barrels of Oli's troops began to burn, the first trench in front of the hill was almost filled with Turks' Dead body.
"Go on the bayonet! Charge!" This time Oli did not let the troops back to the back of the hill, but a beautiful counterattack killed all the Turks in the trenches in front of the hill, and set up a machine gun to move the third one at the foot of the hill. The Polish Turkish soldiers rushed back.
After the previous offensive, the Turks had lost more than 6,000 soldiers and a large number of shells, which annoyed their commanders. He threw the remaining two complete guard regiments and five ordinary infantry regiments into the fourth wave of offensive all at once, and let the artillery shoot at the top and behind the top of the mountain until all the shells were used up. The top of the mountain was blown into dust, and the shells that crossed the top of the mountain fell far at the foot of the mountain, adding countless large holes and small holes.
When the Turks were halfway through, Oli's cannon on the back of the hill also opened fire. Ollie didn't have many shells, but seeing the opponent launching a large-scale charge, he also let his artillery vent all the shells.
The shells exploded continuously in the Turkish infantry. The soldiers of the Guards rushed forward without hesitation. They rushed through the fire range of the opponent's artillery and then rushed up the hillside.
In the trenches in front of the hillside, the German soldiers who remained after the previous counterattack started shooting at the swarming Turkish soldiers with gunfire. The casualties on both sides increased rapidly. When the Turks broke through the trenches, the Ori regiment blew The horn of a full-scale counterattack was sounded. The soldiers lifted heavy machine guns up the trenches on the top of the slope and fired frantically at the charging Turks. Then the soldiers charged from the top of the slope. With the condescending impact and powerful combat power, they used bayonets and Fists fought with the Turkish soldiers who rushed into the trenches on the front of the hillside, and the Turks finally began to retreat. The machine gun on the top of the mountain still roared, and many Turkish soldiers were thrown down before they could flee to the foot of the mountain...
The Turks fled, leaving behind more than 8,000 bodies, more than 2,000 wounded soldiers, more than 1,000 prisoners, and 40 cannons without shells, and fled back to Thessaloniki in a hurry. After this battle, the once invincible Turkish Guards were finally defeated. They never recovered to their former glory. At the same time, Ori's mercenaries also paid the price of more than 1,000 casualties, most of them in the end. In a counterattack, they were injured by the Turks' fire, and more than 1,000 Turks died under their own fire. This has become a peculiar phenomenon in military history.
On the day Oli created the miracle of defeating 15,000 soldiers with 4,000 soldiers here, Kemal also took 8,000 troops and attacked Salonika in a detour, while Ozturk led 1,000 soldiers from Salou. Nika Port landed. Due to the main force and lack of preparation, the 10,000 Turkish soldiers in Thessaloniki were defeated after fierce fighting, and Thessaloniki immediately raised the banner of Kemal.
Oli's excellent tactical command made everyone admire, and after occupying the big city of Thessaloniki, Kemal's troops finally had a suitable foothold, which became his starting point for all over Turkey. .
