This independent cavalry regiment of one thousand men was the elite of the Bulgarian army.
The actual number was only 912.
The deputy commander in charge of this cavalry regiment was General Pavel Petrovhristov of the 5th Danube Infantry Division.
He was responsible for developing detailed battle plans.
It is naturally impossible to entrust a plan of this scale to Lieutenant Colonel Vasily. As a commander, he also needs to be able to mobilize the entire Silistra to cooperate with this cavalry. In this case, General Pavel is naturally the most suitable candidate.
He is one of the few people who knows the whole story.
Do you know what role Hilde plays in this?
But Hilde has a new identity, the princess of Silistra.
Abbreviation.
mascot.
A war of this magnitude does require princesses and heroes, symbolic beings, to maintain morale and prevent it from collapsing.
Now Hilde has a formal position as the staff officer of this cavalry regiment.
Originally, Major General Pavel thought that Hilde would give some instructions.
But he didn't expect that Hilde was just analyzing the map silently. He hardly interrupted the discussion. He just asked why they did that sometimes, just like a well-behaved student. Even General Kutinchev was shocked.
After that, Hilde was alone in the calculations.
It was mainly a route for artillery to support cavalry. In this era, the artillery in this part of Bulgaria was unreliable, so there were too many uncertainties. In terms of understanding of cavalry, Hilde could not compare to any cavalryman, but in terms of arithmetic, no one could compare to Hilde.
This is a normal thing for Hilde.
No matter how much military knowledge Hilde has in his mind.
After all, it is a memory from a hundred years later.
How could his understanding of cavalry be compared with that of these battle-hardened generals? In terms of actual combat experience, Hilde should just be a mascot.
Major General Pavel rode up to Hilde on horseback.
"There is still one hour before the mission begins. Do you have any instructions?"
"Give your soldiers a morale boost."
"I won't."
For the officers, good oratory and eloquence are not necessary for them. In their view, these are things that politicians should be ashamed of.
"Then I'll go."
Hilde was riding a horse.
Came in front of the cavalry.
All the cavalrymen looked at Hilde, just as Hilde looked at them, but Hilde was in no hurry to start.
This was taught to Hilde by a German man.
Silence itself is a power.
Unlike ordinary soldiers, cavalrymen are high-quality talents who have received a certain level of education and can understand some words that are difficult to understand in classical Chinese.
I waited for nearly three minutes.
Hilde spoke slowly.
"I know you are all curious, who am I? Why am I so young and can stand here?"
"My name is Hildegard, a German, as you can see, and it was I who gave the order for this operation."
"I will answer your most pressing questions."
"You are facing a siege from five countries: Serbia, Greece, Montenegro, Romania, and the Ottoman Empire. It is impossible for you to win this war."
"But... I give you, I give you hope of winning!
"If you want to win this war, you must get the support of the Empire, but support is not free. Before that, what you have to do is to prove to the Empire that you can hold your ground under the attack of the five countries. Only then will the Empire pay attention to you."
"Even so, the chasm in front of you is difficult to cross. You need to use some inhumane methods to spread cholera to those Romanian troops, and commit an irreparable sin. Even so, it is difficult for you to win this war. You commit such a sin just to prove to the empire that you can defend Silistra in exchange for the empire's assistance."
"It's so unfair, isn't it? This land is born so unfair!"
"I'll tell you something fair."
"You die, so that Bulgarian children can live!
"That's fair!
"But I still hope you can come back."
"For those who are still waiting for you to come home, for those who can't come back!"
"For Bulgaria!!!*
"Bulgaria!*
"Bulgaria!!"
"Bulgaria!!!"

The code name of this operation is Operation Stoyan Vigil.
The name Stoyan refers to the leader of the Bulgarian uprising against the Ottoman Empire in the early 18th century. Stoyan Wojvoda was initially a bandit, but later began to serve as an uprising leader, helping the poor in Bulgaria and working with the Ottomans.
He fought against the Ottoman Empire and was eventually killed in the Greek War of Independence in 1821.
The name symbolizes the tragedy that was doomed to happen.
The action plan is not complicated either.
First, the only plane was used for reconnaissance to learn about the enemy's situation, plan troop selection, attack time, and cross the river.
Methods, routes of advance, containment tactics, suppressing firepower, attacking health systems, and finally retreat and return.
certainly.
How many people can come back alive depends on God's will.
Hilde's slender fingers hold the exquisite pocket watch. The exquisite craftsmanship of mankind and the beauty bestowed by God make people feel very
It is difficult to associate Hilde with the kind of general whose success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers.
But when Hilde closed his pocket watch.
The tide of the times engulfs everyone.
"The action begins!"
Hilde gave the order.
All the cavalry moved into action.
The first step was to cross the river under the cover of night. Fortunately, Romania did not have searchlights. Searchlights at that time were still in a very rudimentary stage, nearly two or three meters high. Because the Romanian army wanted to win quickly, they did not bring any searchlights.
Lieutenant Colonel Vasily led a cavalry unit and slowly moved towards the Romanian position according to the route previously discussed.
It also gave the Bulgarian army an opportunity.
Lieutenant Colonel Vasily led the cavalry's advance troops to cross the river and enter Romanian territory.
Every step forward from now on is a journey with death.
"Enemy attack!"
"Smoke bomb!"
Accompanied by a shout from the sentry.
Lieutenant Colonel Vasily and his cavalry immediately released smoke bombs.
The entire front line was filled with shrill alarms.
And accompanied by the sound of alarms in the Romanian camp.
The other side of the Danube.
Major General Pavel gave the order.
"Open the ground!!"
120 artillery pieces were used to provide support and cover for the cavalry.
Under the cover of artillery fire and smoke bombs.
The cavalrymen immediately rode their horses into the Romanian positions. After entering the positions, all the cavalrymen immediately dispersed. Each cavalryman only carried two bombs and two smoke bombs, so they had to throw the bombs and pollution sources accurately, and then try to escape if possible.
Lieutenant Colonel Vasily was no exception.
After throwing all the bombs and smoke bombs in his hands, Lieutenant Colonel Vasily's final target was the Romanian army's large water reservoir. Lieutenant Colonel Vasily threw the last source of pollution towards the large water reservoir.
At the same time, the bullet also pierced Lieutenant Colonel Vasily's arm.
Lieutenant Colonel Vasily gritted his teeth. He couldn't die here. They had to win the war.
The Romanian army would not let them escape like this.
Countless bullets were aimed at Lieutenant Colonel Vasily.
At this time.
Shouts broke out among the Romanian troops.
"Behind, watch out!"
This world is magical.
The disaster on this land will become physical.
Whatever was taken from this land.
It will be repaid.
When the Romanian army turned around.
Under the dim night sky with a faint hint of paleness, under the night sky filled with gunfire and shouting.
It was a headless knight shrouded in ominous aura.
I looked, and behold, a whi
te horse; and its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him.
He came out, victorious and ready to win.
The disasters of this land will be transformed into entities and returned to humans.
