"There are enemies in the third house on the right."

A squad leader of the Romanian army shouted to his own soldiers beside him. After hearing his squad leader's reminder, a soldier with a beard on his face saw that someone was aiming at him in the third house that was about to collapse, and he was so frightened that he ran to the corner of the wall.

"Smack"

When he was hiding at the foot of the wall, a gunshot rang out and hit the wall five centimeters in front of him. His face turned pale with fright, and if he had slowed any longer, he would have been hit. By this time, his comrades-in-arms had already spotted the Bulgarian soldier who had shot at him. Before he could retreat, he quickly raised the rifle in his hand.

"Smack"

After a single shot, the Bulgarian soldier fell from the window.

"Keep searching."

The squad leader saw that there was no danger and said to his soldiers.

Then they again began to continue the search for the remnants of Bulgarian soldiers in this area.

Today is the second day since the Third Army stormed Varna. Under the all-out onslaught of the Third Army, the Bulgarian defenders at Varna. It has retreated to the few fortified sites, such as the town hall, where the defenders of Varna, which had previously numbered more than 30,000, now have less than 8,000 men. The others were either captured or killed, or they hid back to their respective homes.

Just in case, Lieutenant General Salamik ordered. Let each division draw a regiment and start a net search of the occupied area, and it is really found that many remnants of the army are brave, the largest of which is the remnants of a company.

Yesterday, after Lieutenant General Salamik detected the attempts of the commander of the defending forces, Major General Shakhnosv. Taking advantage of his artillery and military superiority, he launched a fierce attack and pulled a large number of artillery into the city. A large number of well-placed fortifications of the Bulgarian defenders were destroyed by the Romanian army with direct artillery aims. Later, when it encountered stronger fortifications, the Third Army also pulled 150 heavy artillery into the city. In the face of Lieutenant General Salamik's unreasonable offensive, the commander of the defending forces, Major General Shaknosv, had no other way to think of it.

In the face of the powerful Romanian artillery, Varna had no other artillery at all, except for a few old heavy shore defense guns. On the afternoon of the first day, because of the ferocious Romanian offensive and the critical situation, Major General Shaknosv ordered a return fire and was destroyed by the Romanian army.

Now facing this situation, Major General Shaknosv is also mentally prepared, after all, he has a second-line army and a group of militia that has only been conscripted for two days, and he is not superior in numbers, and it is understandable that he cannot withstand a well-equipped Romanian army of nearly 70,000.

In a messy room in the town hall, Major General Shaknosv was meeting an emissary of the Romanian army. This was a representative who had come to negotiate peace, and it was clear that the Romanian army's intention was to get them to surrender.

"Major General Shaknosev, now that we have won or lost, there is no point in continuing to fight. This will only lead to more casualties among the people of the city. This is not advisable in order to prevent further harm on both sides of us. Our commander, Lieutenant General Salamik, in a spirit of humanitarianism, hopes that this fighting will stop. We guarantee the safety of your lives and property, and we will not have any other thoughts about you. ”

Hearing the words of the peace delegate, Major General Shaknosv knew that he would not be able to continue to resist for long, but as a Bulgarian officer, he was now willing to sacrifice his life for his homeland. So he replied with a firm expression.

"Thanks to the messenger's willingness to bring peace, I am willing to shed the last drop of blood for the motherland."

After hearing the words of the major general, the envoy of the peace talks decided to do his part again.

"Your Excellency, I admire your importance for honor and your devotion to the motherland. As a soldier of good character, I think you should ask the soldiers for their opinions. ”

Major General Shaknosv knew that the representative of the peace talks was not at ease, if asked about the wishes of the soldiers. Then, every soldier will not love the motherland more than he loves life as much as he does. Among them, there must be those who are not strong-willed, and if this happens, the army's will to fight will be shaken. But knowing the end of his death, he couldn't make decisions for the soldiers. Eventually, he decided to leave the decision of whether or not he wanted to continue to follow him to the soldiers, leaving them to decide for themselves.

After thinking about this, Major General Shakhnosv said to the negotiator. "I also want to give the soldiers the power to choose for themselves, so can you wait two hours before attacking?"

The negotiator spoke to Lieutenant General Salamik after thinking about the time he had given to the defenders. "This shouldn't be a problem."

After hearing the deputy's words, Major General Shakhnosv said sincerely. "Thank you for your generosity to our soldiers."

Seeing that the major general had made up his mind, the negotiator stood up and said. "Then we'll see each other again."

"We don't see each other again."

The envoy strode out of Major General Shaknosev's room, and after walking out of the city hall building, he went all the way to the position of his army, and said to Major General Gelasim, commander of the 8th Division, who was waiting for news. "The division commander, Major General Shakhnosv, was reluctant to come out and surrender, intending to preserve his reputation and loyalty. I gave him two hours, and he intended to let the soldiers decide for themselves whether to follow him and continue the fight. ”

After hearing the words of the envoy who had gone to negotiate, Major General Gharasim said indifferently. "Then let him show his reputation and loyalty."

After saying that, he turned to an artillery officer with epaulettes of lieutenant colonel. "When the time comes, we need to trouble your heavy artillery regiment to support us."

The officer who was called spoke very politely to Major General Gelasim. "We were meant to support you, where is there any trouble."

Maj. Gen. Gerasim said with his hands on his chest. "Then let's wait two hours."

Nearly two hours later, a number of Bulgarian soldiers poured out of the Bulgarian defending municipal building. The leader, a lieutenant colonel officer with a white shirt on a rifle, indicated that they had come out to surrender, and the group hung their heads in tatters. Seeing this, Major General Gerasim waved his soldiers to let them go.

After doing all this. Major General Gelahim said to the lieutenant colonel just now. "Pull your heavy artillery up and shell it at the town hall."

The lieutenant colonel of the heavy artillery regiment told him. "Okay, no problem."

I saw him wave his hand, and the four 150 heavy guns behind the crowd gradually approached the municipal building with the vigorous push of dozens of soldiers. At a distance of seven or eight hundred meters from the municipal building, they began to stop to load shells.

Seeing that his soldiers were ready, the lieutenant colonel shouted. "Open the gun"

"Boom~Boom~Boom"

After a burst of heavy artillery bombardment, the town hall was in ruins, and the Bulgarian soldiers guarding it included the loyal commander. Several other strongholds in Varna then fell to Romanian forces, and Varna fell into Romanian hands.

In this battle, the Third Army suffered 4,567 casualties, while the defending Bulgarian army was almost completely annihilated, of which 18,071 were captured and about 12,000 were killed.

When the Third Army captured Varna, the First Army also captured Suman, then Targovy, and the Second Army also captured Polsky, so that the first phase of the Romanian army's objectives was completed.

PS The battle scenes are not well written, so I still have to continue to write them. Otherwise, there will be too many wars in the future, how can you not write about it. Steamed bread is not skilled enough now, slowly get better, thank you for your support to steamed bread Thank you.
