Chapter 108: Vojvodina (5)

The situation in the command can be said to be twists and turns, almost falling and controlling the situation again, in which the importance of Ernst is self-evident, but no one knows that the machine gun belongs to Ernst.

The next situation was much simpler, it was difficult for the rebels outside to attack the headquarters with the suppression of machine guns, and even if there were, it was only a few scattered, and in front of a few rifle soldiers who hit accurately, these were enough to deal with.

The machine gun just now frightened the rebels who rushed into the headquarters, even if they were all civilian and staff officers, but the rebels who had lost their combat mentality only knew to flee in a hurry, but in a few minutes the command headquarters returned to the hands of Austria-Hungary.

The machine guns above suppressed it, and the civilian staff officers below also began to go into battle, and for a moment the command made the rebels feel a little helpless.

Blow up here? If the order just now is okay in time, but at this time, it is a problem for them to even get close, how to blow up the headquarters? At the same time, the Heavy had been replaced by another guard in Command, and Talo Balbo was busy carrying boxes of machine gun ammunition from the restrooms.

Cosimo came to the toilet with an incredulous gaze, and seeing that most of this small space was occupied by ammunition, he began to be confused, could it be that there was a secret room?

No wonder Cosimo thought so, because that was the only reason that could be explained, he had been to the toilet before, and there were no boxes of ammunition and machine guns at that time.

Cosimo's doubts were ignored, including Ernst's eyes on the battle outside, as if the opposing commander had abandoned the place, and the attacking soldiers were more than twice as small as they had just begun.

The rebels were indeed a little disheartened, and their losses from the offensive headquarters were close to 300 so far, of which none of the more than 50 soldiers who rushed into the headquarters came out.

From the sound of gunfire, it can be seen that the real Szeged is in chaos, but only the rebels themselves know that their ranks are only more than 2,000, and such an empty city plan is even hidden from Lieutenant General Ragnar.

It was true that there were many soldiers besieging Szeged at the beginning, but due to the needs of other places, more than half of the soldiers besieging Szeged were transferred, and if Lieutenant General Ragnar knew this, the strength of the city alone would be enough to stalemate.

At first, the rebels were not prepared to attack Szeged, their purpose was to paralyze the Austro-Hungarian command system and contain more than 1,000 soldiers here. But by a coincidental chance, he knew that Lieutenant General Ragnar broke out, and the rebels boldly chose to attack directly.

There is no doubt that this gamble led to their final victory, and more than half of Szeged's more than 1,000 soldiers were wiped out with almost no resistance, and the rest, including the headquarters, were barely able to survive.

No one expected that the Austro-Hungarian side would turn the tables, but this was the case, and now the rebels were in a dilemma, unable to retreat, and the offensive was beginning to weaken. These rebels are real rebels, except for high-ranking officers, their combat effectiveness from civilian backgrounds can be imagined!

More than 2,000 soldiers have lost 500 here at the headquarters, and the rest are now no longer able to gather, and Szeged's wealth has made them forget that they still have their commanders, and the rebels are rebels who cannot be compared with the regular army after all.

Originally, there were only about 800 soldiers in the offensive headquarters, and now the rest is not enough to capture the headquarters, even if the remaining combatants in the headquarters are only more than 10, and the total number of civilian staff officers is more than 30.

A machine gun, two snipers, and four riflemen who shoot well, these are the main reasons why the rebels can't attack.

"General, what should we do now?"

What to do? If the head of the rebel army wants to ask someone too, but who else can he rely on here? Command was like a chicken rib, making his almost perfect plan tasteless and a pity to abandon. If he could, now he would like to give the order to retreat, but the order from above has not yet come down, so retreat at this time...... How did he explain?

The order to attack Szeged was given by him, and the order given to him from above was enough to contain this place, and if the other party knew his weak point, the whole battle situation might change.

Just when the head of the rebel army was hesitating, the arrival of a soldier made him determined...... The soldiers with the Austro-Hungarian flag appeared 2 km from the outskirts, and it was not surprising that reinforcements from Subotica should have been.

Shoichi took a final look at the Szeged headquarters, which had never been taken, and the rebel commander, Brigadier General from Serbia, took the lead in withdrawing in the opposite direction of the arrival of Subotica reinforcements.

The rebels' operational command immediately found out that the staff officers were all smart people, and they knew that it was very likely that Lieutenant General Ragnar brought reinforcements, and if they could contain the other party at this time...... Of course, this is just a thought, after all, their number is too small, and who can guarantee that this is not a scam?

The enemy retreated, and the staff officers and soldiers of the command instantly collapsed on the ground, they had been fighting for more than 4 hours, not to mention the dripping water and concentrated all their energy, now it is estimated that what they want most is to drink a good saliva and then sleep. Naturally, this does not include Ernst, whose age and identity are there, and Ernst has always stayed in a small room, with no shortage of food and water, and even a guard to protect and take care of him.

Lieutenant General Ragnar quickly arrived in Szeged with reinforcements, and was relieved to see the badly damaged but obviously not yet fallen headquarters, and it was not the battle situation that could affect his future, but just a little doll who was only seven years old. Ernst had nothing to do, and at best he would have been dismissed, and if Ernst had an accident, Archduke Ferdinand would not be able to forgive him easily, no matter how much he had done so.

During the handover, the staff officers inevitably mentioned the matter of heavy machine guns, and Lieutenant General Ragnar was very puzzled, because he knew very well that there was no such thing in his headquarters.

He was about to ask Ernst but was stopped by Cosimo, claiming that he had brought the heavy machine gun himself, but now that Ernst had slept, he could talk about it tomorrow.

Lieutenant General Ragnar was not very clear about Ernst's salute, although it was a little strange what Ernst was doing with a heavy machine gun, but remembering the various strange hobbies of the nobles, Lieutenant General Ragnar did not continue to ask.

Lieutenant General Ragnar did not follow him when he arrived, and if he talked about the boxes of ammunition, then Ernst's matter could not be explained in any case, but it was fine...... This matter is over.

It's not that there are no doubts, Cosimo is undoubtedly one of them, Ernst's salute is all packed by him, and the lies are also him, not to mention that the boxes of ammunition can't be packed in those small suitcases at all, but they can be loaded What is in the salute he has sorted out He doesn't know? But Cosimo's identity allows him to hide these doubts in his heart, and maybe even in the deepest part of his heart for the rest of his life.
