Four hundred and ninety-four. The Germans are on the offensive!!
Now you can unleash the attacks you need in Kükahya and Bolu!
The Germans did not give the Turks any respite, and at the same time as the battle for the capture of Gejnik broke out, the 1st SS Adolf. The offensive of the Hitler Guard Flag Division, and the 2nd SS Reich Division also began in earnest.
A large number of tanks appeared, a large number of soldiers appeared
The steel behemoth roared again, and with a pace that made Turkey tremble, it moved forward without stopping!
The sky was obscured and the earth trembled. The cries of the German soldiers resounded across the battlefield.
Onward - German soldiers!
The tiger's arrogance marched on a battlefield unobstructed, and the pursuers marched at terrifying speeds.
The German infantrymen who rode on the tank, or who accompanied it, sang their military songs in their mouths and smelled the breath of victory.
A tiger galloped, and on top of it stood a soldier holding the scepter of the marshal:
Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Marshal Bream!
He was always with his soldiers!
He single-handedly started the battle of Turkey, and now, it was time for him to end it with his own hands
When he received the last telegram from Colonel Bernaha, Marshal Glerumman knew that Dougynik could not hold on.
While ordering all the Turkish armies of Kükahya and Bolu to devote themselves to the impending assault, he ordered his troops to retake Geynik as soon as possible, and then sent a telegram to President Inonu:
"The Germans are attacking!"
Just a few words
He anxiously waited for a call back from the direction of Ankara. But after waiting for 20 minutes, I finally got a telegram from President Inonu himself:
"This can't be, the negotiators of the Germans are in Ankara!"
Marshal Glerumman is almost collapsing!
20 minutes. Exactly 20 minutes! Every minute and every second on the battlefield meant a change in the tide of battle, but he waited 20 minutes only for a questioning telegram from President Inonu.
He almost gritted his teeth and replied with a telegram: "Take the honor of our soldiers and assure you that the Germans are attacking!" ”
When this telegram was sent, Field Marshal Glerumman made one of the most important decisions of his life:
No more following Ankara's instructions!
Now, Turkey needs a hero to step up, regardless of victory or defeat, regardless of personal glory gains and losses. For the sake of the dignity of the Turkish military!
All the strength - every soldier is thrown into the battlefield, and he must do everything he can. to stop the German breakthrough against Cükaxia and Bolu!
Even if you die, you must die on your own battlefield
Gjnik was the first to fight.
Two brigades of Turkish troops launched a non-stop offensive on Gejnik.
Marshal Glerumman has already given the order to die:
Even if you fight until you are left with only one soldier left, you must take Genik back. Reconnect with Qukathia and Bolu!
Without the threat of enemy heavy artillery and tanks. The Turkish army still showed very strong combat effectiveness.
They unselfishly launched wave after wave of attacks on Geynik.
The vast majority of them have forgotten the threat of death and have put the honor of their country above all else.
It is precisely because of their spirit of sacrificing their lives that the army is completely crushed
Unfortunately, however, they encountered German soldiers who had come out of countless battles
The defensive front is so perfect, and the firepower is so perfect.
It is true that the Germans have temporarily lost tank and artillery support, but the Turkish troops who rushed to the battlefield did not have these either.
Both sides fired at each other with machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles, but once the attackers encountered the enemy's terrible and massive firepower, they were hindered to the frustration of any commander
The flames spewed out by MG34, MP38, and 40 were like a web of death from hell. Covered with every enemy who attempts to cross here.
Then, those grenades rained out. Explosions erupted in the enemy's charging formation, followed by flamethrowers, which submerged the entire battlefield in a sea of fire, and all weapons were used perfectly in the hands of the Germans
Now it is not a question of how long in Gejnik will be able to hold out, but how many Turks the Germans will be able to kill here
Patches of Turkish soldiers died here, and countless Turks lost their lives here
The German shooters happily killed and wounded the enemies who rushed up in groups, and around the muzzles of their guns, countless resentful spirits who died in their hands were coiled there, but the smoke of gunpowder quickly washed away these souls who were unwilling to die like this
The noisy battlefield revealed a terrible silence, except for the sound of gunfire and explosions, there were no soldiers shouting, neither Germans nor Turks
Both sides are just attacking, defending, killing, and being killed by machines!
This kind of "quietness" on the fierce battlefield is actually an atmosphere that is suffocating and even crazy
Ernst. Marshal Bream's telegrams kept coming, but Guo Yunfeng's answer was always only one sentence:
"We're still fighting!"
That sentence is enough
While the battle for Gejnik was in progress, the German vanguard had already reached Kükaxia.
The flames of war were ignited almost at the first minute!
Without hesitation, the pursuers fired their shells, and the tigers arrived at the explosion.
Now, Qukathia and Bolu are in jeopardy!
A large-scale offensive and defensive battle between the German and Turkish armies broke out here.
After daybreak, a large number of German planes appeared, and the bombs fell on Chukaxia and Bolu in patches, and the flames that rose into the sky, mixed with the constant sound of explosions, and the irritating smell of gunsmoke, plunged Qukaxia and Bolu into the most terrible disaster.
Adolph. The main forces of Hitler's Guard Banner Division and the Reich Division had arrived, and now they could calmly attack Kükathia and Bolu.
Gjnick was like a nail stuck between the two cities, completely cutting off their connection with each other.
Now, German planes can also help, making the battle in Gejnik easier
The planes continued to bomb the attacking Turkish troops, and the Turkish troops fell under the attack of the planes.
And those German troops, who were originally holding out, even launched a counteroffensive at this time.
Who, exactly, is attacking?
When Marshal Glerumman learned of this, he quickly gave the order for the Turkish army in Genik to retreat to Kükahya, but this order arrived a little late.
Guo Yunfeng's battle group and Mylist's battle group are all dispatched!
The defender becomes the attacker, and the attacker is routed in front!
The mountains were full of running Turks, not because they were not brave, but because they suffered heavy casualties during the attack for almost half a night.
Especially the appearance of airplanes, the psychological impact on them is very great, and the Turkish army does not even have even one plane to support!
The German soldiers easily strangled the enemy on the battlefield, but they soon felt the fearlessness of the Turks.
When a small group of Turkish troops was besieged and had no way to escape, they actually launched a counter-charge against the Germans with their bayonet rifles.
Their fate was certainly predestined, and the small group of Turkish soldiers was killed in the strafing of German machine guns and submachine guns.
The squadron leader of the assault squadron commanding the German army, looked at the corpses all over the ground, and shook his head helplessly
In a nation or a country, there will always be a large number of heroes. The only difference is that the victors can sing the praises of these heroes, while the losers, perhaps those who died heroically for their country and nation, will never be remembered again
At Geynik, where more than half of the two brigades of Turkish troops were killed and many surrendered, Gejnik was now firmly in the hands of the Germans.
And the effect of this is that Qukaxia and Bolu have to rely on their own strength to fight alone.
Field Marshal Glerumman once asked Bolu's commander, General Otanri, if it was possible to break through to Kukaxia, but General Otanri replied in the affirmative:
"Now, beyond Bolu are countless German tanks and artillery, and if they break through and are about to reach Cükaxia, I can also guarantee that there will be no more than a hundred soldiers alive"
Marshal Glerumman abandoned such an intention. He told General Otanri, who was struggling to support himself in Bolu: "In the name of the Republic, I ask you to hold out until the last moment!" ”
When was the last moment? No one can give this answer
The Germans' shells were frantically covering Qukaxia, and in the face of the terrible tanks and artillery, Marshal Glerumman could even smell defeat.
Who will be able to free the 170,000 Turkish troops of Kükahya and Bolu?
The key thing that Glerumman found ridiculous was that the Germans were now far outnumbered by the Turks outside of Kükahya and Bolu, but the Turks did not have the strength to launch a decisive battle.
It is not that the Turks do not have the courage to die to the end for the sake of victory, but that the gap between the two armies in terms of weapons and the quality of the army is too great.
The huge strength of the Turkish army is gradually losing under the frantic artillery attack of the German army, and the will to fight of the Turkish army is also disintegrating little by little.
The Germans are accustomed to winning more with less, and in Kükaxia and Bolu will once again be vividly displayed in front of everyone! (To be continued......)
