Romanian Eagle

The 291st chapter raid (3)

On the day of the month, all Romanian newspapers reported the news of the kingdom's declaration of war with Austria-Hungary (Romania has only submitted a declaration of war to Austria-Hungary at present). Then there was a big report in the newspapers about the humiliation of the Romanians in Transylvania by the Hungarians. The postman and the police sent out the Army's call-up list, and the streets became sullen.

"Petroshani has been taken."

In the General Staff, a staff officer who had just received the latest information pushed open the door and announced the latest good news to the staff officers waiting in the hall.

The words of the reporting staff made the officers waiting in the hall quiet for a while, and then there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers. "U~la"

Then they began to discuss its current situation, and among them there were officers who seemed to be high-ranking military officials and began to point out the military layout of Romania.

"Really, this is great. We are completely over the barrier of the Carpathians, and we are not at a disadvantage in the terrain."

"This is really good news. In addition, the North Army has won the Krakan and Prots Pass, and our two major armies, North and South, have already got off to a good start."

"That's true. At present, there is no news about the Central Army. Will there be any accidents?"

"This is impossible. After both the north and the south have made a breakthrough, the enemy is not a fool. It is definitely impossible to increase the troops in Brasov, then the pressure on the Central Army will be much less. This will definitely allow it to achieve a breakthrough. We only Just be patient.”

The information that the staff officers can get, as the chief of the general staff, Pu Lieshan, of course, must be known before them, and the detailed battle report must be sent to him first, but Pu Lieshan is not alone in his office today.

"Your Majesty, the First Division of the Guard has already taken Petrosani. Petrosani was taken in less than a day. Lieutenant General Ankodar is still the one who dares to fight."

His Majesty, Pu Lieshan, revealed who was coming, and yes, he personally came to the General Staff to wait for the first-hand good news. And Lieutenant General Ankodar in the Puri Pass was the commander of the Fifth Division, Major General Ankodar, who had outstanding performance in the Battle of Tarnovo in the Second Balkan War.

Although not as good as the director of education, Lieutenant General Freiette, who served as the commander of Army Group North in this battle, but his replacement for Lieutenant General Bloengart, who retired due to his advanced age, can also show his ability. As the division commander of Romania is one of the three main elite divisions, Lieutenant General Ankodar can be regarded as a high-ranking military leader, and the three major military giants will not be without opportunities in the future.

"Did the follow-up troops follow?"

Facing the good news of Pu Lishan's announcement,

Edel is more concerned about the action behind. Because no other troops were mobilized in the plan to keep secrets, Eder was a little worried about being pushed back by Austria-Hungary. However, of course he will not forget Lieutenant General Ankodar who successfully raided Petroshani, but now is not the time for commendation, at least until Transylvania is completely won.

Knowing the king's heart, Pu Lishan immediately said the news he wanted to get. "His Majesty's 9th Division has already had a brigade reinforced, and the remaining troops will arrive in Petrosani tomorrow morning. Now the other troops of the Southern Army have been assembled and can move in the direction of Deva."

Hearing the words of Admiral Preshan, Edel was also relieved. In this battle against Transylvania, anyone with a little military common sense would know the role of the Southern Army in this battle. As long as Deva can be won, then Romania will have the upper hand in this battle. Because this is the role of railways in the military in this era, it cannot be overstated. Who let Deva have a railway connecting Romania and Austria-Hungary, then its important position cannot be overemphasized.

Just as Edel and Preshan were chatting about the South Army, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Pu Lishan knew that there must be something important to knock on the door at this time, and sure enough, his secretary came in and reported good news to him and the king. "Your Majesty, Admiral, the Central Army just sent a telegram that they captured the Radar Yar Pass. This is the detailed telegram they sent."

The secretary was really sensible. He knew what the two big men in this room were most concerned about, and immediately handed over the telegram. And through the rapid ups and downs of his chest, the steam on his head can tell that he rushed over as soon as he got the news.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Admiral Pleasant thanked him and took the telegram. This sentence made the secretary feel that everything was worth it, and then he replied respectfully. "It's not hard at all." After saying that, he walked out of the room.

Pu Lieshan opened the battle report and read it. He briefly glanced at it and said to Edel, who was waiting for the news. "Your Majesty, the Central Army had a little accident before, but it's healed now. The process is all written in this telegram, Your Majesty, please read it."

Edel took the telegram and read it, on which Army Group Center explained why it was so late. It turned out that the failure of their sneak attack alerted the defenders of the Radar Yar Mountain Pass, and then they could only let the 8th Division Brigade, which is the arrow force, attack. But fortunately, the storm went smoothly, and the Austro-Hungarian reinforcements in Brasov captured this pass before the arrival of the Austro-Hungarian reinforcements in Brasov. Now the 8th Division Brigade is resisting the Austro-Hungarian 23rd Division, which is one step behind, at this pass.

In addition, the Central Army also mentioned in the telegram that the other troops of the 8th Division are already 20 kilometers away from the Radar Pass, and will arrive at the pass tonight to ensure that they will not be recaptured by the Austro-Hungarian army.

Seeing the success of the initial raid, Edel couldn't help asking. "It seems that the Central Army is also going well, so should our next battle plan be launched immediately?"

Seeing that the king was full of expectations, Admiral Puri had to give up his thoughts. "Your Majesty, we can't do it yet. It takes time to assemble the troops, and it takes time to transport weapons and ammunition. And we only issued a general mobilization today, which takes time."

Preshan rejected his proposal, and Edel was not angry. "Okay, I'm in a hurry."

Eder still has military common sense and knows that even though the Romanian raid is going smoothly now, it is all built on the standing army that has been trained daily for more than ten years. And he will be fighting for Transylvania soon. He also knows that the standing army of 400,000 may not be able to beat the millions of Austro-Hungarian army, not to mention the Bulgarian army and the world's No. 1 German army, all of which require general mobilization. Well, Edel can only wait now.
