Political blackmail and military deception have thrown the Turkish top brass in Ankara into chaos.

Just before, the top brass in Ankara was immersed in the illusion of peace negotiations, but in the blink of an eye everything changed.

The Germans advanced ferociously and successfully captured Geynik, while Kükaxia and Bolu were under the most ferocious and frantic German attacks.

Judging by the telegram from Field Marshal Glerumman, President Inonu, who was also a soldier and had also served as chief of the General Staff, clearly knew:

These two places can't be held!

Once Kükahya and Bolu are lost, then the gateway to Ankara will be opened, and the Germans can drive straight in with impunity!

Now, it's time to make a choice

The people of Ankara were unaware of the dire conditions on the front line, and the government had repeatedly boosted the morale of the people and told the Turks that the heroic Turkish army was putting up a strong resistance on the front line and that the German offensive would be completely crushed.

They still trust the government

But what the real situation is, the people at the bottom don't know what to do, but the big people at the top can't be clearer

Proposals have already begun to be made to President Inonu to abandon Ankara and retreat to Erzurum, so that the Turkish government can withdraw to the territory of the Soviet Union in the event of a further deterioration of the situation.

However, at this time, President Inonu still showed the courage of a former soldier and the courage of a national leader, and he did not hesitate to refuse this request, and told his staff:

Myself. Will fight to the death for Turkey!

If Inonu is politically indecisive, then he is still qualified as a soldier

While Inonu ordered Marshal Gelerumman to continue to hold on to Kukahya and Bolu, he began to prepare for the defense of Ankara.

In his plans. Ankara will concentrate Turkey's strongest forces, all 500,000 troops. And this is when the military support of Britain and the Soviet Union became crucial.

But then came another piece of news that made the Ankara government very passive:

On July 17, the commander-in-chief of the German "Balkan Army", the legendary Skull Baron Ernst Brown. Alexon. Feng. Marshal Braham issued a solemn statement:

Rejection of the Ankara government's proposal for peace talks and will withdraw the German plenipotentiary negotiator, the German ambassador to Turkey, Kahn! The massacre of the German diaspora was not resolved by the great dictator of Turkey. Inonu did not step down. Germany will not accept any peace negotiations until Turkey has restored real peace, democracy and freedom!

At this moment, the truth of the secret negotiations between Germany and Turkey was all exposed, and the Inonu government was in an embarrassing situation in an instant

Britain and the Soviet Union immediately condemned Inonu's treacherous approach. He also solemnly warned that if the Turkish side continues to negotiate with Germany secretly without informing its allies, the two countries will have to consider giving up their support for Turkey

Of course, Britain and the USSR were not going to really give up on Turkey. But they have not hidden any frustration with the Ankara government

If it were not for the fact that Turkey must not have been lost to Germany. Perhaps now Britain and the USSR have long since abandoned Turkey like a broken sack!

The alliance is still there, but the alliance has already had a huge, irreparable rift

Inonu flew into a rage, and he swore that if he could, he would strangle the abominable Ernst with his own hands. Brahm! He threw himself on the cusp of the storm so despicably!

What's even more hateful is that the so-called "German plenipotentiary negotiator" Kahn is now also "exposed", and once Ankara executes Kahn, it will seem to the Western world that it will be a very cruel act that completely disregards diplomatic etiquette.

So hate again. Inonu could only temporarily put Karn under house arrest instead of executing him immediately

Wang Weiyi protected Karn in his own way.

Never give up on a companion. No matter who he is

Now, the eyes of the whole world are focused on Kukaxia and Bolu, who cannot hold on to the German offensive under the frantic and powerful offensive of the German army, but now the key question is how long Marshal Gleluman can hold out in these two places and how long to buy Ankara.

In fact, at this time, Glerumman knew very well that he might not be able to hold out for even three days!

The Germans have all-round air and ground superiority, their bombs can easily explode in the Turkish army, can easily destroy any defensive position of the Turkish army, and can easily drown countless Turkish soldiers in the smoke of gunpowder

The Turkish army was completely mechanical and passive in the face of the terrible onslaught of the German army

The German tanks were advancing like a wither, the German assault guns were bombarding unscrupulously, and the German assault squadrons were breaking through again and again

Gleruman didn't know what else he could do to defend Kukaxia and Bolu!

Surrender? As soon as this thought flashed, Marshal Glerumman scoffed at it, he could die here, but such a thing as surrender would never be considered.

At most, when I was really desperate, I would end my life with a bullet

Bad news kept coming to Marshal Glerumman, the 12th Infantry Brigade was completely annihilated, and the 15th Infantry Brigade lost all the positions it defended

In one day, the Germans had already completed most of the breakthrough within the pre-set target.

On the flanks of Kükahya and Bolu, the Wehrmacht, Bulgarian and Yugoslav armies were also rapidly completing the encirclement.

Once they reached the designated place of battle, all the Turkish armies of Qukaxia and Bolu were truly finished

Marshal Glerumman knew this all too well, and he could now choose to abandon Kükasia and Bolu and retreat to the Ankara Line, so that at least half of the forces could be retained, but the Germans could continue to push straight ahead and launch a direct assault on the Turkish capital without completing preparations for the defense of Ankara.

There is another option, knowing that it is impossible but continuing to hold on here, even if you lose all your troops. Even if you can buy Ankarado a minute, you can give a minute of respite in the defense of the capital.

Marshal Glerumman did not hesitate to choose the latter

He personally appeared in the most dangerous areas of the battlefield and personally inspired his soldiers to fight to the end for the great Republic of Turkey.

He did not hesitate to shoot one of his most trusted subordinates, because he lost three positions in succession, and he even did not hesitate to send his own son, Colymans of the 25th Infantry Brigade, to the front line, in order to tell all the soldiers:

For the sake of the Republic of Turkey, the Glerumman family did not hesitate to die here with all their fathers and sons!

Grerumman was desperate, and the Turkish army was also inspired by the spirit of the marshal and completely died

However, while the Turkish soldiers of Kükaxia were fighting bloodily under the command of Marshal Glerumman, Boluna received news like a thunderbolt:

Under the ferocious offensive of the German army, General Otanli, who was in danger, chose to start secret negotiations with the German army alone!

General Dietrich, who was storming Bolu, learned of this and immediately stopped the attack on Bolu and personally received General Otanri's envoy.

History has always been like this, while some people fought bloodily for their country, others decided to sell their homeland.

This can happen in any country, in any people

After getting Ernst. After Marshal Bramm's consent, General Dietrich accepted most of General Ortanri's requests.

At 15 p.m. on July 17, 1942, General Otanri ordered Bolu to stop resistance and lead the entire Turkish army to surrender.

The Battle of Bolu ended in eerie fashion!

General Dietrich, who so smoothly captured Bolu, immediately commanded his 1st SS Adolf. Hitler's Flag Guard Division was engaged in the assault on Qukaxia.

Qukaxia, who was caught between the two flanks, was in danger

When the news of Bolu's surrender was learned, Marshal Glerumman was not angry, not even disappointed. Perhaps this day will come sooner or later, and even if General Otanri does not surrender, there are still other generals who will.

There are not many generals like him who are willing to fight to the death for their country

Facing the German attack alone, Qukaxia, if a small ship in the wind and waves, is in danger of sinking at any time. There will be no more miracles, and all that remains is death and destruction.

The cannon was constantly ringing out, and the enemy was already advancing on Kükaxia. All the outlying positions were lost, and soon the Germans would appear within Kükaxia.

Kulymans hurried back to the headquarters, reported to his father about the terrible situation on the battlefield, and advised him to evacuate the terrible place immediately.

"Are you afraid, my dear son?" Gleruman asked calmly.

"No, I'm not afraid." Kulimans' answer was so loud: "I am willing to die for my country, but you are different, you are the Chief of the General Staff of the Republic of Turkey, your responsibilities are far more important than mine, please get out of here, in Ankara you can command your army all the same." ”

"It's not my army, it's the Turkish army." Greruman smiled and corrected his son's mistake: "In Turkey, there are already people who command the army for me, and as for my responsibility, it is to die here!" ”

My duty is to die here! (To be continued......)
