Chapter 126, Baosai War II

It is difficult to judge exactly when or where Bulgaria will attack, but he knows that now the morale of the army must be stabilized!

At the beginning of the meeting, Subolovich's usual flickering was not right to boost morale.

"Your Second Protectorate War has begun, and a few hours ago, Bulgaria declared war on us!

Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while!

When the national disaster is at the head, the true character of the hero is revealed!

Nine years ago, in the first Bulgarian war, we lost, and the shame is on the head of every Serbian soldier from this moment! The high cost of the war has since been on the shoulders of the Serbian people!

The domestic economic crisis broke out, the political situation was chaotic, and the people were struggling to make a living!

Now the Bulgarians are here again, and the brave win when they meet on a narrow road!

The opportunity for our Serbian servicemen has come, and we have a shame on our foreheads, which can only be washed away with blood!

Winning this war, Serbia will have a new ......"

Unfortunately, before Subolovich could finish speaking, the attendant officer broke into the headquarters in a hurry and handed the telegram to Subolovich!

Looking at the telegram, Subolovich's face became more and more ugly, the Bulgarians actually attacked!

Of course, Bulgaria has already declared war, and it will not surprise him to launch an attack now, the point is that the place of attack is very special!

Subolovvich's military literacy is still very good, the Bulgarian army launched an attack from the Vidin region, and the strategic goal is clear at a glance, directed at the capital of Serbia - Belgrade!

To accomplish this, the prerequisite is that Niš has fallen! It is clear that the Bulgarians have already settled on him Subolovvich!

Otherwise, the army of the Niš region can attack from the flank at any time and cut off their rear route!

Subolovvich slapped the table and smiled casually! Since the Bulgarians are so arrogant, then the opportunity has come!

The Serbian army distributed in the Niš region is no longer 168,000 a few days ago! Reinforcements have been gathered from all over the country, bringing the total number of troops in the Niš region to more than 210,000 people!

The reason is simple, Serbia has given up attacking Tren from the lower reaches of the South Morava River and threatens Sofia! No matter how confident the Serbian general is, he doesn't think it's a good choice to march to Sofia now!

The plan of the Serbian military, the deployment of a small number of troops in the adjacent area of Tren, threatens Sofia and pins down Bulgaria's energy! Concentrate the main forces in the Niš area, lure the enemy deep and then fight a decisive battle!

Theoretically, the strategy of the Serbian army is correct, complete a strategic deception! In the Niš region, 80,000 elites and 130,000 miscellaneous cards have been gathered, which is four times the strength of the Left Army!

The pressure on Subolovvich is great, and for Serbia to win this war, it will have to destroy the Left Army before Bulgaria reacts!

Large-scale troop movements, it is difficult to keep secrets, and even in disguise, intelligence officers discovered the movements of the Serbian army!

Ferdinand, who was far away in Sofia, was discussing with the General Staff!

"What do you think?" Ferdinand asked

Chief of Staff Petrov analyzed: "Serbia is concentrating its forces in the Niš region, and the target is directly aimed at our Left Army!"

Now, the simplest way, or the most conservative way, is to order the Left Army to defend on the spot with the help of fortifications! Even if Serbia concentrates more than 200,000 troops, it is unlikely that it will break through the defense line of Mount Mijul!

Although the number of troops is four times ours, in terms of firepower, we have the upper hand! It only takes a few days to delay, the middle or right army has a breakthrough, and they are finished with a flanking attack from both sides!

The downside is that if this happens, the Serbs in the Niš region will most likely run away before we encircle and annihilate them!

There is also the immediate reinforcement of the Left Route Army, and now there are three new divisions in Sofia, and it only takes three days to reach the Mijul area, and then launch a decisive battle!

In this case, the Left Army will have to face the main Serbian force alone for three days, and there is a certain risk! However, the generals of the front, for the most part, supported the second option, believing that it was impossible for the Serbs to defeat the Left Army in three days! ”

Ferdinand asked hesitantly: "What will be the result if the second option is based on the most pessimistic estimate of the General Staff?" ”

Petrov replied very professionally: "The Left Army suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat to the area of Mount Mijul for defense!" ”

"Your opinion is also in favor of risk-taking?" Ferdinand asked, confused

Petrov explained: "Yes, Your Excellency! It's risky, but we can afford it! It is acceptable to pay tens of thousands of casualties in order to cripple Serbia!

If, according to the most optimistic estimates, it is possible for our Left Army to directly defeat the main Serbian forces, then Serbia will no longer be able to take out troops that have always been able to fight in ten years!

Although there are more than 200,000 in the Niš region, the only real threat to us is the 80,000 main force; The remaining 100,000 people have not received professional training at all, and it is difficult to use them for attack!

In addition, weapons and equipment are their biggest weakness! Serbia's military industry is weak, and most of its weapons and ammunition need to be imported. How many kinds of weapons they are equipped with now, maybe the people in the quartermaster department may not be able to figure it out! ”

Ferdinand thought about it, the combat effectiveness of the Bulgarian army is not bad, and it is a big deal to lose the Left Route Army! It was worth it to cripple Serbia, so he said: "Then let's do it!" ”

……

By dawn, the Right Army was already over the battle! At this time, the sky has slightly exposed the protein, and the clouds are gathering in the sky, as if soaked in blood, showing a faint red.

Popov was busy counting the results while giving an interview to war correspondents!

Frankly, he didn't think it was a great achievement to defeat a group of peasants who had just laid down their guns!

But war requires heroes! As the first unit to achieve results, it must be publicized!

For ordinary people, it is too difficult to distinguish the difference between the main force and the miscellaneous cards with them, it is better to directly say how much the enemy has been destroyed!

As long as the number is big enough and shocking enough, it's fine! Obviously, Popov's right army did a very good job, the number of enemy annihilation is definitely enough, and its own casualties are very small, it is best to use it for propaganda!

"General Popov, what do you think of yesterday's battle?" The Bulgarian Daily reporter asked

Popov had a headache and said, "Sorry, Irene, I'm really busy right now!" The results are still being counted, you look at it and write it, it doesn't matter, I don't care! ”

Irene said, "But Uncle Popov, this is my first time visiting the battlefield, and it is very important!" You must know that I applied for it specifically, and you must cooperate, this is a publicity need! ”

Popov rubbed his forehead and said, "Irene, my dear niece, now I give the order as the commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army, you give me a rest immediately!" This is a military order, if you continue to bother me here, send you to Sofia now! ”

Erin glared fiercely, turned around and walked away!
