Chapter 33: The Angel Descends

Rumble......

Ollie's position began to shake.

The veterans of the Oli Regiment sat leisurely in the trenches, smoking cigarettes or closing their eyes, while Kemal's Turkish partisans and recruits shrank in the trenches and trembled, some daring to try to stick their heads out of the trenches, only to be shouted back by the officers.

In the trenches, Oli observed the situation on the opposite side through a telescope, and the Turkish infantry had already lined up. There was nothing new in their formation, but simply the infantry was lined up in several horizontal formations, about 50 meters apart, and the first two horizontal formations of almost 1,000 men had already begun to advance to this side. As they advanced to the center of the battlefield, Turkish artillery fire also stopped.

"Everybody get into position! Get ready to shoot! "The veterans of the Oli Regiment unhurriedly prepared their weapons and put bullets and grenades in their hands, while the officers ran back and forth, dragging some of the recruits who were still cowering in the trenches.

The two horizontal columns of Turkish infantry began to advance rapidly.

"Ruler 1 km!"

"Ruler 500 meters! Fire! ”

In an instant, countless deadly tongues of fire erupted from the position, and the Turkish infantry at the front fell like wheat.

"Wow......"

The Turkish infantry suddenly turned around and ran, several times faster than they were advancing, and a few of them were fast enough to lead their queue several positions in an instant with a cloud of dust, and the Olympics would have almost won the championship with this speed.

"Ceasefire!"

Ollie reluctantly ordered a ceasefire, and the officers ran back and forth again to get the recruits to stop shooting. With less than a hundred corpses left in front of the position, the Turks were so fast that Ollie, who had intended to inflict heavy damage, sighed.

"Mr. Colonel, are your troops running so fast?" Ollie looked at Kemal on the side and asked with a smirk.

"Uh...... I said that the combat effectiveness of the Turkish army is weak! But another reason is that these people belong to the garrison of Thessaloniki, and the young officers in it are basically our people, so they have no intention of seriously fighting us at all! ”

"Oh?" Ollie looked at Kemal and suddenly had an idea.

"Tell the soldiers that after the next enemy attack, we will launch a counter-charge!" Ollie summoned several officers to give the order, and they quickly conveyed the order to the soldiers.

On the other side, General Fatih of the Turkish government army had a blue face, and as soon as the other side opened fire, his own soldiers fled back like crazy, making him feel really ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors.

"Rubbish! Rubbish! He called the officer who had attacked earlier and lashed out, "Bombard me with artillery again!" Be sure to blow those rebels to death on the ground! ”

"General, we didn't bring many shells this time, we already used up half of them just now!" The artillery commander ran to Fatih and disputed his order.

"What? Why don't you bring more shells? Fatih whipped the poor artillery captain hard.

"General, we usually only carry so much ammunition, that's the rule! Besides, we didn't expect this group of rebels to be so powerful, in the past, we used to open fire, and the other side would scatter and flee! The captain covered his face and explained in a hesitant manner.

"No matter! You guys shoot me all the shells this time! Fatih raised his binoculars and looked at the position opposite, there were no more figures in sight, and the other party should have taken refuge in the trenches.

"A swarm of rats!" Fatih scolded viciously.

Five minutes later, the Turkish artillery had used up all their shells, but they only smashed large and small craters in Oli's position, and there was no loss on Oli's side except for a few soldiers who were injured in the eardrums.

"Attack! Offensive! Whoever dares to retreat, military law will deal with it! Fatih shouted vigorously, and in front of him, four straddles were advancing in a jumbled pace.

"This is the most timid army I've ever seen!" In the trenches, a German veteran complained angrily to the people next to him, "I just fired two shots, and they started to shoot their butts at us!" I hate shooting people in the ass the most! ”

"Yes! This time we are going to teach them a good lesson! Another veteran said as he drew his bayonet and placed it on the trench at hand.

"Ruler 1 km!"

"Ruler 500 meters!"

"Ruler...... 300 meters, fire! ”

The soldiers poured the bullets that had not been vented at the opposite side as fast as they could, but the Turkish soldiers began to turn and flee with a faster speed than before.

"Upper bayonet...... Charge! ”

The veterans of the Oli regiment quickly loaded their bayonets and rushed out, some of Kemal's poor recruits were still trembling on the bayonets, and some of them rushed out after them before their bayonets were ready.

Seeing that the other party chased after them, the soldiers of the Turkish government army began to throw away their weapons and hats, and ran back desperately, so after they were captured, the first thing the German soldiers asked was: "What did you all eat and grow up?" ”

Fatih, on the other side, stared blankly at this comical scene, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Machine gun!" Machine guns ready to shoot! ”

Despite the poor equipment of the Turkish army, this infantry regiment brought by Fatih had 20 light and heavy machine guns. However, hearing his order, the machine gunners all looked at him suspiciously, and now their own people and the other party were mixed together.

"Shoot! Shoot me! Military punishment on the spot without shooting! Fatih yelled like a gambler who had lost everything.

Da Da ......

The machine guns of the Turkish army began to fire, because they did not want to hurt their own people, and the muzzles of these machine guns were almost always pointed upwards.

"Rubbish! Get out of the way, I'll come! Fatih, realizing that the machine guns had not hit a few people at all, hurriedly jumped off his horse, kicked away the soldiers who were operating the Maxim heavy machine guns, and prepared to shoot himself.

"Hey! Waste, how to use this thing! Hurry up! Fatih realized that he didn't know how to use a machine gun at all, and the soldier who had been kicked to the ground by him got up and trembled and taught him how to operate.

Ollie became worried when he saw the opposing machine-gun positions firing through his binoculars. He did not expect that these timid Turks would shoot with machine guns in spite of their own compatriots, so it seemed that their casualties were not much smaller. He remembered that before leaving, Chentian put his arm on his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Ollie! You have to take good care of these soldiers, they are all excellent veterans of Germany, and if they hang one, I will have to pay 10,000 marks to their families! You'd better not let me go bankrupt, or I'll come to your house every day to eat and drink!" ”

Just then, Ollie heard a buzzing roar overhead, and several planes flew by at low altitude.

Second Lieutenant Fritz arrived just in time with his flying squad, and as they swept over the heads of the Turks, the already confused Turks began to flee in all directions, some simply sitting on the ground and waiting for their pursuers.

"Niko! Have you ever seen a battle like this? Fritz was very surprised by this kind of scene, where this is a fight, it is simply a chase game.

"I've never seen a fight!" Niko was a recent graduate pilot who had never even participated in exercises, but his eyesight was exceptional, "Fritz, look below!" There were artillery positions and machine-gun positions for the Turks! ”

At this time, Fatih below also got the machine gun and started firing with a clatter.

"Niko, prepare the grenades! This time I'll try to fly as low as I can! Fritz maneuvered his plane in a circle and swooped towards the machine-gun position.

Rumble......

Two grenades exploded not far from Fatih, and the Turkish soldiers on the machine-gun positions finally collapsed and fled back at once.

"Come back! Don't run away! Fatih shouted hoarsely, but no one heard him, and he frantically picked up his machine gun and shot into the sky.

When Fritz and his plane flew back again, they also found the guy shooting at him frantically.

"Niko, throw it on time this time!"

Rumble......

This time the grenade exploded not far from Fatih, and the shock wave pushed him to the ground, and when he got up again, a rifle butt slammed into his head......

"Niko, good job!" Fritz was about to praise Niko twice, but heard the engine cough heavily, "Oh no, the engine is going off!" It must have been hit just now! ”

Sure enough, after a while the engine stopped spinning, and Fritz and Niko began to glide forward.

When the plane slid silently overhead, many people were startled, and those who chased and were chased, those who surrendered and those who accepted surrender, all stopped to watch the plane gradually glide to the ground.

"Hold on! We're landing! Fritz pulled the lever tightly.

Boom...... Boom......

After a few jumps on the ground, the plane came to a safe stop!

"Oh......" Fritz breathed a sigh of relief. Then he noticed a group of Kemal's Turkish soldiers surrounding him, and they began to cheer around the plane, as if they had seen an angel descend.

"Niko, let's go down and say hello!" Fritz felt like a hero and was welcomed by everyone.

"Well, Fritz be careful......"

"Ahh

Just as Fritz stepped out of the cabin, he tripped over his left foot and descended with an angel's head down......

During the battle, the Oli regiment and Kemal's troops won a complete victory, killing more than 300 Turkish government troops, capturing more than 2,500 people, including their commander, General Fatih, and capturing more than 2,000 rifles, 10 6-pounder guns, 6 Maxim heavy machine guns, 14 Medellin light machine guns, and several ammunition. Kemal's troops suffered 17 casualties, while the Oli regiment had no casualties, only two seriously wounded and 21 lightly wounded, including Second Lieutenant Fritz, who fell down while getting off the plane. For his outstanding performance, the Fritz gentleman was wrapped in gauze and received praise from Oli and Kemal.

With the revolutionary forces exposed, Kemal and the other Young Turks had to start a revolution ahead of schedule, declaring their opposition to the Sudanese government and foreign carve-up plots under the call of "freedom, equality, fraternity, and justice." A few days later, the uprising quickly swept through many units of the Third and Second Army Corps in Macedonia, and soon the Young Turks became the real masters of the entire Macedonian region.
