Kulistleic, the commander of the 2nd Serbian Division, looked at the casualty report in his hand and was speechless for a long time!

However, in just one day's effort, the second division had already lost a regiment of troops, and such casualties had exceeded his mental capacity!

This is completely different from the previous attack, this is the main force, and it is not the same concept as the ragtag army at all!

That's right, they achieved good results, a defense line that was more than ten miles long, and the Bulgarians, who were short of troops, could not bear it and retreated to the second line of defense!

After all, machine guns are not invincible, they will jam after a long time, and it takes time to load ammunition, as long as you are willing to fill it with human life, you can still seize the opportunity!

Kulistridge was sure that such an offensive would break through the enemy's defenses as long as it lasted for two or three days, but by then the second division would be gone!

As a high-ranking officer, he naturally understood why he was desperate, but seeing the casualties in front of him, Kuristretch hesitated!

After thinking about it and thinking about it, I finally gritted my teeth and walked into the headquarters!

Subolovvich glanced at him and asked suspiciously: "Kulistretz, you are not commanding the war at the front, what are you doing here?" ”

Kulistrich said in a pleading tone: "General, this battle cannot be fought!" Even if we can destroy the enemy in front of us, we will not be able to change the outcome of Serbia's defeat, so stop attacking! ”

Subolovvich stared at him and said angrily: "Do you know what you are talking about now? Kuristreich, don't forget that you are a military man! We have no choice, even if the outcome of this war is already doomed, we must fight!

If we can't get a good record, then Serbia is doomed! It's really over!

We don't have the same chance as we did in 1886, the Bulgarians are already doing it to us, and Austria-Hungary is eyeing us!

If we can't show our determination and give them the courage to see us, how long do you think Serbia can exist?? Would you like to see the great Serbia sink again? ”

Kulistrich was silent, the political problem was beyond his ability!

In the 19th century, the great powers rushed to expand in the world, and now the world has been almost divided, and the expansion of Austria-Hungary to the Balkans is no longer a day or two!

Despite being allies now, judging by the position of Austria-Hungary in this war of Bulgaria, they want to get a weakened Serbia!

You must know that there have always been people in Austria-Hungary who advocate the annexation of Serbia, and once Serbia shows a hint of weakness, then these people will pounce on them like hungry wolves!

By now, the Serbs had to fight, both in the Niš region and in the Belgrade region, they had to fight with the Bulgarians!

However, Subolovvich did not say that a decisive battle with the Bulgarians in Belgrade and lengthening the logistical supply lines of the Bulgarians could increase the chances of victory!

And as long as Austria-Hungary does not want Bulgaria to become bigger, it is likely to intervene!

Fighting this war in the Niš region and Bulgaria is clearly more in his personal interests! Although there is still no way to win this war, in the context of the defeat of the whole country, as long as he wins this battle, he is a hero of Serbia!

Subolovvić is ready to accept Serbia's defeat, and now he is no longer expecting to win this one!

Therefore, it is no longer important to preserve strength, instead of being infamous as a traitor and gambling on that illusory luck, then it is better to do your best to win this battle and make more political capital!

Curlistridge was convinced, and he was not interested in the inside story behind it! The current situation, he is still roughly clear, Serbia has already paid too much price.

Subolovvich is right about one thing, if they don't let people see their determination to defend their homeland and country, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be divided!

……

Ivan Kristov, on the other side, sighed and asked: "How are the casualties of the troops?" How long will it take for reinforcements to arrive on the battlefield? ”

The chief of staff did not answer directly, and said in a low tone: "The situation is very bad, the Serbs have gone crazy, and if they continue to fight like this, even if they win, there is no value!" ”

Dante Kristof: "Hmm! From the point of view of national interests, it is in their best interest to immediately cease the war and preserve their vitality!

From the point of view of personal interests, they can only fight! Neither the Serbian government, which is far away in Belgrade, nor Subolovvić, who is close at hand, dare not propose peace talks! ”

The chief of staff said fiercely: "Since they want to fight, let's fulfill them!" In one day, we paid more than 8,000 casualties, and they paid at least 40,000 or 50,000.

Anyway, this afternoon, our reinforcements got off the train at Mount Mijul and were rushing over, and in another hour or two, the first reinforcements would arrive! ”

Dante Christophe lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said, "That's it! According to the original plan, let go of a hole before dawn and give them the final blow! ”

……

The stalemate on the Niš front created an opportunity for Popov to leave two regiments to plunder on the south bank of the Moravava River, and the main forces crossed the river directly to Belgrade!

Alexander I was in a hurry, the Serbian government was in a hurry! The worst thing happened, the Armageddon of Niš began, and Subolovich was no longer able to divide his troops!

The top of the Serbian government has now become ants on a hot pot, round and round!

Theoretically, Belgrade still has three new divisions, plus the king's guards, with more than 60,000 troops, and it is completely capable of fighting a battle!

In fact, the three new divisions are completely old, weak, sick and disabled, ranging from old men in their fifties and sixties to teenagers in their fifteen or sixteen years, and they are the main components of this army!

And only a simple queue training was carried out, the guns were not complete, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined!

The Guards are just a kind of thing, they just sound majestic! If he really had the fighting power, Alexander I's father, King Milan, would not have been ousted from the throne!

There are more than 1,000 people in the whole army, and it's okay to put up a guard of honor, and you don't have to have too much hope for a war or something!

Looking at the deteriorating situation, the prime minister gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, now that we have reached this point, we can't fight it on our own, ask Austria-Hungary for help!" ”
