Seeing the opponent's infantry withdraw from the city, Marshal Kemal finally breathed a sigh of relief. He checked his watch. It was already 10 o'clock, and the right-wing troops could withdraw from their first position in another hour. According to the report of the commander of the right-wing force, they have so far suffered one-third of their troops and consumed a lot of ammunition, and their opponents have not done much after the previous two failed offensives.
Judging from the previous situation of government cavalry and infantry entering the city, Kemal is still very satisfied with the street fighting tactics he designed. While consuming a large amount of the opponent's forces, his own losses are very small, and most of the casualties of the central troops are It appeared during the defense outside the city and the shelling of the opponent. He felt that even if the left-wing troops of the government army chose to attack the Uzunkoplu city from the south after conquering the first position on the right wing, he could still insist that Olli's right-wing troops defeated the opponent and completed the outflank. Underestimated his opponent, Marshal Carter, after all, he could suppress the old and spicy Marshal Tawant and become the commander-in-chief of the government army, and it would definitely not be a lamp left behind.
When his own artillery shelled the city again, Marshal Carter did not let his infantry who had withdrawn from the city stay in place and waited. Instead, he split up two divisions with about 10,000 troops from outside the city to go around the right-wing troops of Kemal. After flanking with Marshal Tawant's forces and destroying Kemal's right-wing forces, they can flank Uzunkplu from the southeast.
At this time, the 1st and 2nd Regiment of the Mercenaries and the 15th Regiment of the People's Army were using the rare breathing opportunity to consolidate their positions and treat the wounded.
In the trenches, Hildeland waved his newly bandaged arm at Hakkari, "It was just scratched by shrapnel, it's okay!" Hakkari nodded as if he could understand, and grinned. Laughed.
"Strange! Why haven't the Turks moved for so long?" Hildeland climbed up the trenches and looked outside. The battlefield was quiet, some Turks holding white flags were treating wounded soldiers, far in the air. The roar of the hovering aircraft was very clear.
It was the plane that spotted the government troops coming around the city two minutes later and issued an alarm to the ground troops. The commanders of the hired corps and the People's Army looked at the enemy appearing to the north of the position in surprise. They soon Draw part of the troops to defend that direction.
Looking at the officers and soldiers running in the trenches while shouting, Hildeland realized that a new situation had occurred. At this time, Hakari pulled his sleeves and the enemies in front of them began to act.
Soon, a new round of shelling began.
Half an hour later, the artillery that bombarded the city of Uzunkpru and the right-wing forces of Kemal stopped unanimously. Kemal was surprised to find that the opposing forces did not continue to attack the city. At this time, the troops of the three regiments on the right were horrified to see their enemies on both sides attacking at the same time.
"Brother, we seem to be hanging here!" Hildeland, who was lying on the edge of the trench, suddenly put down his gun and sat back in the trench, lit his cigarette and sucked it up. There were at least a large swath of enemies in front of him. Twenty thousand people, and about ten thousand government soldiers also attacked from the north. The atmosphere in the trenches suddenly became tense. Whether it was a German or a Turk, sweat was dripping on their cheeks.
"Oh..." The government soldiers suddenly broke out with an earth-shaking roar, flooding toward the defensive square. Viewed from the air at this time, the defensive position is like a small boat facing a huge wave. The machine gun roared weakly, and after the shell exploded in the crowd, a small gap was instantly filled by the soldiers following.
The 6 Sky X planes soon flew over the battlefield again, but because the soldiers of the government army had already seen their power, and their officers did a lot of ideological work before the attack, the soldiers on the charge did not even look at them. Carry it, let those airplanes drop bombs in vain, or fire them like boots.
The only temporary defensive position to the north of the defensive side was a temporarily transferred battalion and 10 machine guns. They did not bring too much resistance to their enemies. The government forces coming from the direction of Uzunkpullu quickly rushed to it. Before the trenches.
"Get on the bayonet!" The bloody German boys all mounted their bayonets and rushed out of the trenches, then rushed into the opponent's queue. Good German veterans are basically good at bayonet fighting, but their huge bodies are very flexible. They become popular with the bayonet, but there are too many people coming in from the opponent, often several or even a dozen. A Turkish soldier dealt with a German soldier. Gradually, the line of defense was continuously broken. Finally, these brave fighters were drowned in the opponent's crowd...
"Don't kill him!"
Hildeland, who had been stabbed several times on his body, was kicked to the ground by Turkish government soldiers. Just as a few bright bayonets were about to pierce him, Hakari threw down his gun and rushed up to block him. The Turkish begged the government soldiers loudly, perhaps out of surprise, they put the bayonet down, looked at each other, and after smashing them to the ground with their rifles, they continued to rush forward.
Finally, the defense completely collapsed. The soldiers of the 15th Regiment of the People's Army retreated to the rear. Then the German soldiers of the hired regiment also joined the retreat queue. All heavy machine guns, artillery and mortars were discarded on the ground. . After pursuing a certain distance back, the government army's offensive stopped. Except for a small group of soldiers staying to clean the battlefield, more than 30,000 people immediately marched northward, and they will attack Uzunkpulu from the south.
"What? The right-wing troops lost their positions and all three regiments were defeated?" Kemal fell to the chair behind him in a daze. He looked at his watch, and the pointer had just passed 11 o'clock. Although his right-wing troops have survived for 6 hours, they did not retreat slowly as planned to attract the enemy to the second line of defense. Such a rout cannot hold back the opponent's strength. Now except for the hope that Ollie will progress smoothly. Otherwise, you can only rely on the defense of the city.
At 12 o'clock at noon, Rudra, who was taking a nap under the bed, dreamed that he had shot a Turkish general in the head, and then the Kaiser gave him the medal himself. He actually laughed and drooled out. The sound of cannons from the south and east of the city did not disturb his dreams, but when the cannons stopped, he would transform into a messenger of hell...
