Inonu always believed that Germany did not really want to occupy the whole of Turkey, and completely pushed Turkey, a strategically important country, to the side of the Central Powers.

They are only threatening, intimidating, trying to force Turkey to make a choice – to take Germany to the United States.

Under this premise, the threat of war is not as serious as the Turks imagined.

And when Kahn secretly returned to Ankara, Inonu's assumption was "confirmed"

The Germans put forward several conditions, except for the day when they left the Allies and joined the Axis powers, which were absolutely not acceptable to Inonu for the rest of the day.

But Inonu was relieved, and although the Germans put forward such harsh conditions, they still verified his assumptions:

Germany was never willing to engage in a full-scale war with Turkey!

And then, the information that made Inonu even more pleased also reached his hands:

The Germans were completely evacuated from Sakarya and Jenishewro!

Yes, the Germans did not want to continue the expansion of the war, they believed that their goal of threatening force had been achieved.

Now, the two sides can sit down and negotiate.

At this time, Inonu was confident, the Germans were not stupid, and once Ankara was threatened with fall, the British and Russians would never sit idly by. At that time, Germany could be bogged down in the quagmire of war.

Inonu made two decisions: first, to send plenipotentiaries to negotiate hard with Karn; Second, the Turkish army under the command of Field Marshal Glerumman to the Bolu of Qukaxia, without his own orders. No military movements may be made.

He was doing everything possible to avoid angering the Germans again

Once a compromise policy is decided, some things are difficult to change.

Field Marshal Grerumman, having received an order from President Innonu, did not think that the Germans would abandon their attempts to occupy Turkey.

All of this is probably that the Germans are plotting a great conspiracy there

Between Kukaxia and Bolu. There is a huge hidden danger:

Gyinick!

Once this place fell into the hands of the Germans, the link between Cükaxia and Bolu would be severed, and the powerful German armoured forces would be able to reach in the shortest possible time, and then attack Cükaxia and Bolu!

Field Marshal Glerumman decided to send a brigade of troops to reinforce Geynik, and the Turkish army began to move. The information was already Ernst. Marshal Bream mastered.

Immediately, in Ernst. By secret order of Marshal Bream, Kahn of Ankara immediately lodged a solemn protest with the Turkish side. He severely criticized the Turkish side for continuing to deploy a military offensive and lacking the sincerity of negotiations, and threatened that the German army would suspend the negotiations if the Turkish side insisted on going its own way regardless of the consequences. Resumption of the offensive.

Inonu panicked. The situation of negotiations, which was so easily created, could have ended because of the willful and brutal actions of Marshal Glerumman.

He quickly sent a very harshly worded telegram to Field Marshal Glerumman, ordering Marshal Glerumman to cease military movements and to remain in his position. Without his orders, not a single soldier is to be mobilized.

Holding the president's telegram, Marshal Glerumman could only look up to the sky and sigh.

If a country is only threatened by the enemy and does not even dare to mobilize its own troops, then what is the dignity and honor of that country?

Marshal Glerumman at this time. It is even more certain that the Germans must have had a great conspiracy to threaten so much.

But the honor of the military. But he could not disobey the president's orders.

In Geynik, there was only one Turkish battalion in strength, and the only thing Field Marshal Glerumman could do was to send his confidant, Colonel Bernaha, to Gejnik in person.

At the same time, he repeatedly explained that once the Germans carried out a surprise attack on Gejnik, they must hold out for more than three hours, and he would send reinforcements as soon as possible.

In Marshal Gleluman's vision, the raiding force was small, the Germans would not move their forces in large quantities to increase the risk of exposure, and there was no big problem with a battalion holding out in Gejnik for three to six hours.

But Marshal Glerumman also ignored a problem:

Turkey lacks the necessary and effective means of reconnaissance!

Late at night on July 16, 1942.

After a series of political blackmail and military fraud, the commander-in-chief of the "Balkan Corps", Ernst Brown. Marshal Bram finally decided to do it.

At this time, the Guo Yunfeng battle group and the Myristel battle group had quickly approached Gejnik.

On the night of July 16th, at 11 p.m., Ernst. Field Marshal Bream ordered the 1st SS Adolf. Hitler's Guard Banner Division and the 2nd SS Reich Division, respectively, attacked Kükathia and Bolu, respectively.

At the same time, the Wehrmacht, Bulgarian Army, and Yugoslav Army were all ordered to go out and drown all resistance outside Ankara with a torrent!

The German army, which had been silent for a few days, once again showed its hideous fangs in Turkey, while Inonu was still completely kept in the dark and was continuing to negotiate the possibility of peace.

23:10, Gejnik.

The night was deep.

The Germans appeared outside Gejnik.

The Turks were still relatively heavily guarded, and they did not completely abandon their vigilance like the Inonu.

A sneak attack was no longer possible, and Guo Yunfeng, who commanded the raiding troops, decisively gave the order to attack!

At 23:20, Guo Yunfeng's battle group and Mylistre battle group's strong attack began!

The Germans, lacking tank and artillery support, did not have any fear. In their view, an order is an order, and once an order is given, there is no possibility of any change

At 23:30, the 1st Assault Squad was detected while attempting to approach the Turkish lines, and the Germans opened fire quickly.

The battle for Gejnik has broken out!

Guo Yunfeng unreservedly invested all the troops in his hands, and all the German machine guns, submachine guns, grenades, and flamethrowers were all fired.

On the upside, the Germans lacked heavy weapons, and the Turks likewise did not have them.

The defensive line of Gejnik had been improvised before, and it was so weak that before Colonel Bernahar had arrived, there was no time to catch his breath when the German raiding force had arrived.

Marshal Glerumman's judgment was correct!

Everything the Germans had done before was completely to disguise their true strategic purpose!

However, the time given to Colonel Bernaha was simply too little.

He was unable to reconstruct his position, unable to readjust his forces, and the German offensive had already arrived

In less than ten minutes, the Meristel battle group had completed a breakthrough on the left flank. Subsequently, Guo Yunfeng's battle group completed the central breakthrough.

To Colonel Bernaha's shock, the Germans had mobilized at least one regiment or more for the assault.

Taking a battalion against a fighting regiment of the German SS had absolutely no chance of victory, and no army of any country could achieve victory.

A regiment of the SS was so numerous in strength and horrific in its weapons that it was beyond the reach of any nation.

Under the heavy fire of the German raiding forces, the first round of the confrontation resulted in heavy casualties among the Turkish troops

Colonel Bernaha knew that he was completely unable to fulfill the trust of Marshal Glerumman!

While directing his troops to desperately resist the German attack, he constantly called for reinforcements to Field Marshal Glerumman.

Grerumman reiterated the order to hold out for more than three hours and told him that reinforcements had been dispatched!

Marshal Glerumman's preparation was still sufficient, the transfer was still fast, and there was only one problem that he could not avoid:

Under the ferocious attack of the Germans with absolutely superior forces and absolute superior firepower, Genik's Turkish army could not hold out for even half an hour!

One by one, the assault teams quickly tore apart the weak Turkish defenses of Gejnik, and then annihilated them one by one.

And the Mylistre battle group, which broke in from the flank, had actually begun to build a defensive line on the spot.

The cooperation of the German army was breathtaking.

The fighting here continues, and the Germans have begun to prepare for the upcoming Turkish counterattack!

Colonel Bernard knew he was going to fail

He is still doing his best, desperately putting the last little troops in his hands on the battlefield, desperately trying to block the German occupation here.

But all the efforts seemed so useless at this point.

Batch after batch of Turkish troops were killed under the blows of the German army, and the fall of Gejnik was inevitable.

１１：５５。 The Germans completed a breakthrough at Gejnik, and most of the Turkish army of a battalion was annihilated.

Colonel Bernaha did not choose to surrender like his former colleagues, and there seemed nothing more humiliating than the surrender of a military man

With the victory of the Germans a foregone conclusion, Colonel Bernaha commanded more than thirty soldiers in the last assault.

Braving the ferocious fire of the Germans

Among the corpses of the enemy, when Guo Yunfeng saw the corpse of an enemy colonel, he was still very respectful

A brave officer, a loyal colonel!

Geynick's defeat actually didn't have much to do with this colonel, he had done everything he could, even at the cost of his life.

What more could he ask for?

The Turkish army of Gejnik was largely annihilated, and the Germans quickly entered the preparations for defensive warfare.

Now the Turks will soon continue to panic again

Ernst. Marshal Bramm's series of fraudulent actions were incomparably resounding success!

Ankara, it seems, can already smell the flames of war

In Guo Yunfeng to Ernst. In the telegram sent by Marshal Bream, only this sentence was written:

"Now, you can calmly launch the attack you need in Kükahya and Bolu!"

The battle between Kükahya and Bolu has officially begun, and the general offensive against Turkey has officially begun! (To be continued......)
