The Kingdom of Romania declared war on the Kingdom of Bulgaria.
Its day.
Romanian General Alexandru Averescu led the First Army and headed straight into the northeastern cities of Bulgaria. Under the massive offensive of the Romanian army, the Bulgarian Eastern Army had no time to return to defend and was completely defeated.
General Nikolai Zhenev, commander-in-chief of the Bulgarian Eastern Army Group, immediately asked General Vasyl Kutinchev, commander-in-chief of the Danube Army Group, for help.
However, we have not yet waited for enough troops to support the Northeast.
July 12, 1913.
Romanian General Ioan Curce led the Second Army in a surprise attack on Silistra, the northern transportation hub of Bulgaria.
The offensive of 80,000 men in Dobruja was just a feint for the whole world to see.
The Romanian General Staff has made its decision.
We must break through Silistra at all costs and end the battle in Silistra in the shortest possible time. Once Bulgaria comes to its senses, it will not be easy to capture Silistra.
In the early days, it was exactly as Romania thought.
The defenses of the transportation hub of Silistra were seriously lacking.
The Romanian Second Army used 200 artillery pieces to bombard Silistra, which almost used up all of the Second Army's artillery pieces. It should be noted that the First Army and the Second Army had only 384 artillery pieces in total. It can be said that Romania was determined to win.
According to Romania's plan, Silistra must be captured within three days.
But it was only the first day.
The Romanian frontline headquarters in Silistra received a message from a messenger that the flank was attacked by the Bulgarian army. This made the Romanian frontline headquarters stunned, because the attack did not come from the east. If it came from the east, it would mean that the army in the northeast had not had time to support it, and it would have retreated to defend Silistra. This was normal.
But the flank attack came from the west, and at such a fast speed, which meant that it was a trap that Bulgaria had prepared long ago.
The Romanian command never expected this.
They deployed a full 80,000 men to launch a feint attack on Dobruja, but still failed to fool Bulgaria.
But no matter what.
Romania had to choose to retreat, otherwise its flank would be torn open and it would be in big trouble.
This is true for Romania.
It was a different story for Bulgaria. The defenders of Silistra were ready to sacrifice their lives in the face of the Romanian Second Army, but even they did not expect that reinforcements would come from the west.
In fact, Romania would have realized something was wrong if it had waited a little longer. For example, the number of supporting troops was not as large as expected, and their strength was not strong. If it was really a Bulgarian trap, it would not have been exposed so quickly, allowing the Romanian army to withdraw safely.
But this is the front line of the war.
There is not much time for them to think carefully.
When Major Vasily Slavikov, deputy commander of the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 10th Infantry Division of the 4th Army, rode into Silistra.
He was greeted with hero's cheers.
It's hard to say how confident Hilde is.
Changing the entire war by one's own efforts still depends largely on luck.
Fate was on Hilde's side.
However, Hilde did not follow Major Vasily directly to Silistra, which made Major Vasily not very happy. After all, if Hilde stayed here, it would be easy for others to know.
But there was no other way. He had to rush to Silistra as quickly as possible. He couldn't let Hilde follow him on a thousand-mile expedition.
Hield is playing with fire by doing this.
Just like Major Vasily became the hero of Silistra, if Hilde was really the imperial princess that Major Vasily wanted, then it would be nothing, but unfortunately, Hilde would naturally not be given to Major Vasily for free to do meritorious deeds.
The ultimate power that Hilde wanted.
Compared to the high-spirited deputy leader.
The 3rd Infantry Regiment now encountered an embarrassing situation.
The reason.
Very simple.
Their deputy leader is crazy.
Before the regiment commander arrived, their deputy commander forcibly led 2,400 soldiers to rush to the front line. Now there are only about 300 soldiers stationed there.
The staff officer, logistics officer, medical officer, and battalion commander who stayed behind looked at each other.
One thing they have to consider.
What should they do when the team leader comes to cause trouble for them?
At this time.
Hilde pushed open the door and walked in. Everyone else's eyes immediately fell on Hilde. They only knew that she was brought back by the deputy regiment commander, Major Vasily, and had basically no connection with other officers. This was also because Hilde's German identity was too special.
Hilde came to the chief's seat and sat on top of it.
Theoretically, the person sitting here should be Major Ivanov, the staff officer.
certainly.
No one scolded Hilde,
Hilde tapped the tabletop lightly with her slender fingers as she spoke slowly.
"It was I who sent Major Vasili to Silesia."
This made everyone a little confused.
It sounded a little unbelievable that a German captain ordered a Bulgarian major to arrive at the front line despite the consequences of disobeying military orders, especially since the German captain in front of him seemed too young and handsome.
Even if it was Captain Germany, even if it was General Bello himself, he should not have taken such an excessive action.
This has undermined the system of power.
certainly.
Looking at Hilde's underage face,
set up
I guess this young lady doesn't care about the rules at all.
Hilde may not care, but Major Vasily definitely won't care, so what else can be done.
client
That Hilde is a witch?
but.
The key to the problem still does not lie with Hilde.
The key issue now is how should they deal with this matter when the Grand Leader comes back?
Major Ivanov, the highest-ranking officer in the group, asked.
"What do you mean, Captain?"
"I will explain this to Captain Zhivkov."
When Hilde finished speaking.
Everyone present immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Ivanov's discontent immediately disappeared, and he stood up and poured Hilde a glass of water.
"You're welcome, Captain."
The reason why Hilde stood up.
It was also because after Major Vasily left, the officers here were generally of higher ranks than Hilde, and they had the right to check Hilde's ID.
In order to avoid trouble, Hilde must take the initiative to take the blame.
Others are naturally happy to admit it.
The deputy commander ran away with the soldiers, leaving them unable to report to the commander. Since Hilde was willing to stand up, they naturally had to treat Hilde better. Otherwise, if Hilde ran away, they would be the ones who would be in trouble, and no one wanted to take the blame.
Served as the commander of the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 10th Infantry Division of the 4th Army.
When Colonel Zhivkov arrived in Russet.
It is already July 14th.
There are only 300 people left in the 3rd Infantry Regiment, more than 100 of whom are logistics personnel. When Major Vasily left, he did not take even a single logistics person with him. Now the other regiments are also rushing to Silistra, making Colonel Zhivkov seem like a commander without troops.
And his deputy has become a hero of Silistra.
This made Colonel Zhivkov very angry.
But now Colonel Zhivkov can't do anything to Major Vasily.
Major Vasily is Silistra's hero.
If he said now that Major Vasily violated military orders, it would be a disrespect to General Kutinchev. He could only go with the flow and say that he had trusted Major Vasily very much from the beginning, gave Major Vasily enough power, and could even get some credit for it.
This also made Colonel Zhivkov feel strange. Major Vasily has always been a relatively conservative faction in the army. He is the kind of person who will never do anything unless he is sure enough. Recently, he was suddenly reminded to come to the Danube front in the north, and he went out alone with the army when others had not arrived yet.
The only possibility.
It was information reported to him by his adjutant before, saying that there was suddenly a female captain in the regiment, a German captain at that, who was said to be ve
ry beautiful and was brought back by the deputy regiment commander.
Colonel Zhivkov had not paid attention to it before.
It seems now.
It is something that must be taken care of
