The Minister of War reluctantly asked, "Can't we think of another way?" Raise a sum of money from the private sector to help the emergency, or take out a loan from abroad?

As long as the weapons and equipment are sufficient, we can arm a few more divisions, and if this Bulgarian partial division dares to come, we will close the door and fight the dogs? ”

The prime minister gave him a blank look and walked away without saying a word! He knew that the Serbs had given enough for this war, and that the young and strong labor force had been drained!

In order to raise funds, the crazy devaluation of the dinar, the sharp inflation of the currency, has overwhelmed the people, if it were not for the invasion of the Bulgarians, maybe the revolution would have broken out by now!

As for international loans, isn't it a joke? A government that could fall at any moment, who would be so idiotic as to lend him money!

……

Subolovvich probably never dreamed that the prime minister directly drew a big pie for him! Immediately after receiving an order from within the country, the offensive was intensified!

In the dark night, twenty miles away from Mount Mijul, the silence of the night was broken, and Serbian soldiers with explosives bags bravely rushed to the Bulgarian defense line under the rain of bullets!

The guns roared, and in the face of the enemy's attack, the defenders seemed to have been prepared, and the sound of "pop pop" sounded, and the crazy harvest began!

After the heroic Serbian soldiers paid the price of their lives one after another, they finally approached the defensive line, and with a "boom" sound, the explosive package was successfully detonated, and a fire point was terminated!

The heroic stories of singing and crying are constantly staged in the dark night, and one by one, under the cover of their comrades, the Serbian death squads rushed into the defense line and died together with the defenders!

Although the Serbian soldiers had done well, it didn't help the whole situation! The results are insignificant compared to the price paid!

Overnight, after paying as many as 8,000 casualties, only a dozen firing points were eliminated, which was really insignificant for the impact of the entire defense line!

But Subolovvich doesn't care now, this gamble has already begun, there is no way out for Serbia, there is no way out for himself!

Compared to the daytime, the exchange ratio of attacking at night has dropped a lot! It has been reduced from dozens to one to five, although it is still unacceptable, but at least I see the hope of victory!

Now it's Dante Kristoff's turn on the other side to worry, Subolovvic's performance is very abnormal! Last night the Serbian army showed combat effectiveness, and it was completely different concepts from before!

Don't look at the five-to-one exchange ratio is very advantageous, once the defense line is torn apart, the situation will be reversed in an instant, the two sides will be short-handed, and the casualties will definitely increase greatly!

Now that Bulgaria is victorious, he has no intention of taking the Left Army to die with the Serbs!

Dante Kristof asked hesitantly: "What did the chief of staff think of the offensive of the Serbs last night?" ”

The chief of staff said with a smile: "The Serbian army does not have the waste materials we imagined, their officers are still very capable, and it is enough to be impressive enough to lead a group of rabble to burst out with such combat effectiveness!"

But now Subolovvich has no choice and is gambling completely by chance! Our Right Army is now moving towards Belgrade, and if he can't defeat us as soon as possible, then it will be half a month at most before they will be in their capital!

Our first reinforcements, three new divisions, are only fifty kilometers away from us, and they will arrive tomorrow morning, and if they can't defeat us before then, they won't have a chance! ”

Dante Kristof patted his head and suddenly said: "No, the Serbs should not know our strategic purpose yet, after all, the logistics supply line is so long, they only need two regiments to cut it off at any time and come to a counter-encirclement!"

And according to their estimates, our earliest reinforcements should be able to arrive in three days!

Then last night's assault is over, and they think they still have time to destroy us!

Otherwise, they didn't get a breakthrough last night, and they should give up now, after all, our firepower advantage is too great during the day, and it is impossible for them to win!

Even if we break through our defense line tonight, it will be useless, and tomorrow the reinforcements will arrive, and at most it will be finished with our left army!

But Subolovvich will never dare to do that, as soon as the army in the Niš region is finished, Serbia will be finished! ”

The chief of staff's eyes lit up and said, "In that case, it is better to simply fulfill them!" Let the reinforcements speed up and rush over overnight, let's let go of part of the defensive line, set up a pocket formation, and fight them directly! ”

Dante Kristof was a little hesitant, as the commander-in-chief he had to think about the big picture, and the chief of staff's proposal was too bold! Even in the past few days of the war, the Serbian army in the Niš area has suffered heavy losses, but there are still 1450,000 soldiers to fight.

And what about your own side? There are still more than 40,000 people in the Left Route Army who can be put into the battlefield, and even if you add reinforcements to the three divisions that are not under the formation, it is only more than 80,000 people!

It may be possible to defeat the Serbian army, but what about casualties? If you lose 350,000 people, even if you win, what is the value?

Faced with a hard choice, Dandink-Ristov turned his gaze to the others and asked, "What do you think?" ”

The commander of the 1st Division was the first to express his opinion, saying: "I support the opinion of the Chief of Staff, a decisive battle with the Serbs, a strong army needs to be tempered with iron and blood!" ”

"But what about the risks? I have no doubt that now in a decisive battle, victory will be ours, but what about casualties? Such a victory is meaningless for us if the losses are too great! A staff officer asked

……

The crowd was arguing endlessly, and it was difficult to agree on the agreement, and the problem was returned to Dante Christophe.

"Alright, I'll decide! You're right, for good reason, and in line with the current situation in Bulgaria!

We have a limited population and cannot afford to lose too much! But a strong army must be trained in iron and blood!

I've decided to fight the Serbs now, and whatever the outcome, I'll take responsibility, so let's get ready!

Now give me the order that the reinforcements should speed up at once, and they must come this evening!"

Before dawn, the 1st Division made an opening in the southeast direction and let the Serbs in! Set up a pocket array inside, cover it with artillery fire after dawn, and make them regret coming to this world! ”
