It seems that the months-long encirclement is not the way of complete encirclement, the Greek army is a little negligent, besides, months of resistance, even if it is a heavy casualty, surrounded by heavy artillery, did not make the Turks succumb, the Greeks did not expect the Turks to leave like this at night, under the cover of night, the change of guard was quickly completed, 32 sentry posts were quickly erected, not for the sentinels to carry out dangerous searches, but to use binoculars and other things, quietly monitored.

The night vision infrared telescope has become a sharp weapon, in fact, this should be the observer of the marksman group, but it was placed here, which was unexpected by the Turkish defenders, and also made the entire city defense safer, even under the cover of night, no one could quietly enter the range of 1 km around C.

The defenders of the fortress of Ioannina withdrew, and above the head of the fortress of Ioannina, a large area was vacated, Wang Erniu didn't care at all, he carefully observed the one on the fortress, and then ordered 150 snipers to enter various positions in the city defense, looking for sniper positions, ready to snipe at any time.

Marksmen have existed since ancient times, snipers are the best among marksmen, a bullet to solve a war, is not unseen in the history of international warfare, compared to scattered and backward crowd tactics, snipers in the defense of 1 battle, has a huge advantage.

Soon, the well-trained snipers all found their respective positions, as the strongest of all the snipers, and the nominal leader of the sniper detachment, Wang Erniu stood at the top, with the help of a wide field of vision. The surrounding 7 kilometers are in full view, so that he can grasp and control the entire battle situation.

Northwest with Turkey. The language barrier is not a big problem. Most of Turkey's army was trained by the Germans, and in the army, there were many people who knew German, and the Northwest Army had a lot of contact with Germany, and the early instructors, including Jiang Baili, paid attention to the study of German. Among the first batch of 600 people, there are almost more than 40 people who know German, and choosing German to communicate, supplemented by some simple gestures, is enough to ensure communication between the two sides.

After this qiē, it was already late at night, all around was quiet, and the Balkan climate in early spring was warm, and there was no noise. It was particularly silent, except for a few men on duty, who, together with the Turkish observation posts, watched the Greeks' every move.

The sun is rejuvenated. At dawn, Wang Erniu finished a simple battle meal, which was actually relative to the Turks. Already delicious, Turkey does not have a special supply of soldiers. They either have dry food, or what they eat. I even go to some houses to eat, but this kind of energy is not guaranteed, and it is a waste of time.

The marksmen, however, carried field supplies, a field meal only the size of a notebook and an inch thick, which was enough to replenish all the calories and nutrients consumed, as long as there was water, it could be heated and eaten, and it was easy to carry and weighed low, so it was the best supply.

As soon as I finished eating, there was a movement in front of me, and the sentry in charge of observation told Wang Erniu that there was movement in the Greek military camp. The Greek garrison was still stationed 3 kilometers away in the traditional way, which was to confirm that the Turkish side had no artillery fire, and then made adjustments, otherwise they would have been 7 kilometers away.

Looking at the movements of the other side, it is not like a feint once a day, according to the words of the Turkish officer, the feint on weekdays is probably one or two battalions, at most one regiment, but looking at the actions of the Greek side, when the sun has just risen, it has already set off, almost two divisions of troops, slowly approaching.

For the city defense, Wang Erniu is not satisfied, just relying on the fortress to make a simple arrangement, there is no three-dimensional construction, a solid fortress, the resistance to artillery and so on is very strong, it was once the mainstream of Europe, in the modern war, it is not very suitable, too much fixed defender's routine, as a fortification in the old era, he has some gun positions, but there is no machine gun muzzle and firing port, the overall protection also has loopholes, if it is he, he will take this as a solid support, jump out, in the periphery, build the Tutu fortifications, and then make a three-dimensional protection, so that the protection of the fortress can be perfectly played, and the defense can be flexible and changeable.

In Wang Erniu's eyes, this protective fortification does not even have barbed wire, and the infantry can easily cross their protective area and directly attack the fortress, which is very unfavorable for protection.

The Greek army is close, already within a kilometer, and before the change, the Greek army may have been worried that the Turkish side will attack with artillery fire, but after more than a month of tug-of-war, they know that the Turkish interior has not only lost its troops, but also almost lost its artillery, in this case, they can attack with swagger.

More than 150 snipers, each of them is looking for a target, as early as on the way here, the Greek military uniform and the mark of the senior commander have been transmitted to them, from the military uniform that looks like a perfect fit, looking for the officer's mark, it is not difficult, the Greeks are not immortals, they cannot know, there are snipers waiting for them here, for the convenience of command, the officer is still eye-catching.

With the help of this information, Wang Erniu clearly distinguished, and when it came to attacking the Greek army officers who were really idle, each of them set a range, communicated with simple gestures, and fought for the first hit. Most of the snipers have found their targets in a short period of time, mostly at the platoon level, or even ordinary non-commissioned officers, as the strongest sniper Wang Erniu, directly aimed at the middle and senior officers, the troops of all countries are the same, when attacking the city, the highest level that can go into battle may be a battalion commander, a commander above the regiment commander, and it is considered a middle and senior commander, they are basically in the back bunker to command the operation.

After looking in the crowd for a long time, finally a target was locked by Wang Erniu, an officer who seemed to be not tall, hidden in the crowd, the badge on his shoulder, and the orders issued from time to time revealed his identity, if there was no accident, it should be the battalion commander of a battalion of infantry around, at least the deputy battalion commander.

After the Greek army entered the range of 1 kilometer, the Greek artillery fire rang out, and the fortress of Ioannina was further attacked, hundreds of shells, in a short time, hit the top of the city, some of the broken walls, fortifications, once again withstood the severe test, the rocks were scattered, and the smoke above the city was a mess.

From the beginning of the Greek army's attack, the Turkish sentry posts that had been placed on the top of the city for lookout were removed, and the order given to them by Wang Erniu was to wait for the order. The sharpshooters, basically are extremely experienced in the left button, the sniper position they choose, the most important point is safety, in the siege battle, in case of being caught by a large-caliber artillery is not good, not only into the solid room, if possible, but also part of the reinforcement of the room to ensure their solidity.

A round of almost 3 minutes of artillery preparation, the city was quiet, the Turkish artillery did not fire, the Turkish officers at that time still disagreed, but with the help of the order of Constantinople and the support of the German side, they were ordered to obey the command of the front in the northwest, but it does not mean that the artillery can be idle, they will according to the accurate map, the shooting elements on the front line position are clearly calculated, and wait for the order here to open the cannon, and strive for the first hit.

The Greek army does not suspect that there is him, and the attack for half a month in a row, this city has been under tremendous pressure, and it has reached the limit, maybe, today, is a good time to take this city, this time the attack, it is the Greek side, the British side of the intelligence, there is a batch of arms, will be sent to Turkey in the near future, so that they are on guard.

Of course, the British side got the intelligence from Iraq, the Middle East, which is the place where the British are stronger, in the spy war a year ago, Germany and the northwest joined forces, almost uprooted the British forces in Basra, but there are still many in Iraq, the northwest transports arms to Turkey, there is almost no cover, dozens of trains, day and night non-stop transportation, Britain can suppress Germany, but there are not many ways to the northwest, and even the blockade of the port of Basra can not be done, It can only be mentioned through guò channels to the Balkan Union.

Of course, the Balkan Alliance knows the seriousness of the matter, and it is precisely under the blockade of Britain and Russia that Turkey will be defeated in the Balkan Wars one after another, as a strong country, it is even pressed by Greece with artillery fire, once he gets a large number of arms and arms the soldiers, these three points are more difficult to clear, and they must be accelerated.

The shun in front of it made the Greek soldiers imposing, waving the military flag, and countless soldiers rushed up frantically, like a Greek storm, which looked very mighty.

The sharpshooters who had participated in the First World War against Russia flashed a trace of disdain in their hearts, the same as Russia's, and even in terms of the speed and firmness of the impact, they were not as good as Russia's army, which put this fortified city of Turkey in jeopardy, it can be seen that their strength is not very good, if according to the three-dimensional arrangement of the northwest, I am afraid that these people will be taken under a charge, and the personnel piled together are simply not enough for machine guns to sweep, barbed wire and machine guns arranged in cross, not more, dozens of them are enough.

The speed of the imposing Greek army was very fast, and in 5 minutes, it had crossed a range of 400 meters, and it was already close, less than 600 meters away from the city wall, and even the soldiers in front could already see the gap above C, there were no soldiers on the gap, it should have been suppressed by their artillery fire, and victory was close at hand.

They didn't know that the crisis and death were approaching, and in just a few minutes, all the snipers had chosen their targets, and a staff officer took out a strong signal, snapped three softly, and three red signal flares suddenly rose into the sky, and the scarlet signal flares reflected the scarlet on one side of the sky.
