News that Petrila's 2nd Brigade was besieged by nearly three Austro-Hungarian divisions soon reached Lieutenant General Ancodal, who was unfortunately discussing with Major General Dort about the failure of the attack.

"What's wrong?"

Major General Dort asked Lieutenant General Ancodar, who had just finished reading the telegram, and he had just noticed a hint of worry in the lieutenant general's eyes.

Faced with the questioning of Major General Dotrid, Lieutenant General Ankodal did not hide it. "This is a telegram from the commander of my 2nd Brigade, Zoltan, saying that his side is under attack by the forces of three Austro-Hungarian divisions."

Lieutenant General Ankodar's words made Major General Dortryd's heart tighten, and the situation was already very bad for one brigade to be completely crushed by three divisions.

Major General Dotrid asked tentatively. "Should we go back to Petroshani and hold on?"

Hearing the words of Major General Dotrid's retreat, Lieutenant General Ankodar also thought of countermeasures. Retreating like this, Ankodar himself was very unwilling, and finally saw an opportunity, he didn't want to pass away from his hands like this.

But he now needed to dissuade Dort with a good reason. "It's not a good idea to go back now, if we go back, it will become five Austro-Hungarian divisions against two of us, it will be just as difficult to fight, and our unauthorized attack will make it difficult for us to move forward in the future."

Ancodal understood what Dort had heard, and it was entirely their own attack that had led to the point, but he would be more than willing to save it. But now the problem is that if Petroshani is recaptured by Austria-Hungary, both of their divisions will be surrounded, and even if they can escape back to Romania, they will most likely have to go to court-martial.

In the face of Ancodar's words, Dort Red also spoke bluntly. "All this is based on the fact that we hold Petroshany, and if we are recaptured by Austria-Hungary, we will be transferred to the reserves."

In addition, the worse result is that Dortred does not say that Ankodal also understands, that is, he was ordered to retire. They are only forty or fifty years old, and they can still contribute to Romania in the army for at least ten years, and being ordered to retire is also a result that the two of them cannot afford.

However, Ancodal's words dispelled Dotred's pessimism. "Who said that Petroshani needs to be returned, in fact, we can still use reinforcements."

Major General Dotrid immediately understood what Lieutenant General Ankodal meant. "You're going to have the Fifth Division, which will be reinforced later, rush to Petrila to the rescue?"

"Yes."

The Fifth Division was a veteran Romanian unit, and although it was not as well-known as the Janissaries Division and the Third Division, it was also well-known in the army. However, the General Staff also took into account the importance of the Deva when formulating the plan, and they were all arranged with elite soldiers (except for the 19th Division, because the garrison was here, in order not to arouse the vigilance of Austria-Hungary, it could not be changed at will). ）。

As the first batch of reinforcements, the Fifth Division is of course strong in combat, and what is more perfect is that Lieutenant General Ankodar, the former commander of the Fifth Division, has some incense, so it should not be a big problem to ask for his help.

Lieutenant General Ankodal's words reassured Major General Dotred, but he asked another question. "But according to the itinerary, it will take another day for the 5th Division to reach Petroshany, will your 2nd Brigade be able to hold off the offensive of the 3rd Division?"

"Please rest assured of this, I dare not say more, let the 2nd Brigade defend for a day or two, it is still more than enough."

Ankodal understood Dotred's fears that if the defending forces did not wait for reinforcements then the outcome would be disastrous, at least for them. However, he still has confidence in the 2nd Brigade Ankodar under his command, and he is not required to hold for a long time, and if he can't hold it for a day, how can he be called a Praetorian Guard Division.

When solving the hidden dangers of their backroads, the two of them certainly will not forget their original purpose.

"So what are we going to do next?"

Major General Dotrid who asked this question felt that his cheeks were slightly red, and the performance of the 19th Division today made him lack the confidence to say this.

However, Lieutenant General Ankodal is also aware of today's performance on 19. Isn't it just that the Austro-Hungarian elite troops have not fought, this can be regarded as nothing, and it will be good to sum up the lessons next time. Ankodar was not in the mood to care about the current situation of the 19th Division, he spoke himself. "We don't have much time left, and then we have to get Hazeg as soon as possible."

Ankodal meant that Dotrid also understood that this was to make everyone not afraid of casualties. It seems that the battle of 19 is today that Ankodal is a little unbearable, but Dort has some grievances in his heart. The 19th Division was one of the four new divisions during the great expansion, and although Dotred, who was the commander of the division during this time, paid close attention to training, the training time lagged behind the other divisions. You must know that in the past, at most, there were only two divisions a year, and when it was their turn to form the 19th Division, four divisions were formed at the same time, so the quality of their officers was far inferior to that of the troops that were trained before.

Ankodal thought for a moment and continued. "In this way, your 19th Division is responsible for the main position attack, and my 1st Praetorian Division is responsible for the flank attack, so it seems to me that this Austro-Hungarian elite 17th Division will be met."

It seems that he still has some understanding of the situation of the 19th Division on the flanks. As long as the 19th Division continues to be used as a flank cover, it is not very useful, but fortunately, the 35th Division that defended when the 1st Guard Division attacked the main position was miserable, so he planned to change it, and he would better gnaw the hard bones himself. In the face of Lieutenant General Ankodar's request, Major General Dort could not ask for it, and of course he readily agreed.

The next step, of course, is to share the information of the opponent they know with the other party, whether it is the 19th Division for the 17th Division on the defensive flank or the Praetorian Guard for the 35th Division, everyone knows more or less about the style, technique and tactical level of the opposite side, and everyone can at least avoid a lot of losses by communicating with each other.

At the same time, the 5th Division, which had already arrived in Terguzhu, was also making its final rest. The Fifth Division, which has already arrived in Terguzhiu, is said to be the Fifth Division, but this is also incorrect. Because only the 1st Brigade and 2nd Regiment of the 5th Division have arrived here, as well as a 75 field artillery battalion of the Artillery Regiment, plus some military police officers and other personnel from the division headquarters, less than 5,000 troops.

However, this did not affect the mood of the commander of the 5th Division, Major General Fergus, who had already sent a report to Lieutenant General Ankodar on the front line, telling the other side that the 5th Division had arrived in Terguzhu, and that the implication was that everyone would enjoy any benefits, and at the same time he also sent a report to the commander of Army Group South, General Salamik, reporting his whereabouts.

Originally, this was just a polite remark, but I didn't expect Lieutenant General Ankodal to really give him a big gift. Looking at the soldiers of the Fifth Division on the platform who kept coming out of the carriages on the platform, Major General Felgus felt a little depressed. What he was holding in his hand was a telegram sent to him by Lieutenant General Ankodar. In this telegram, Ankodal first compared the great benefits of his plan, then described the difficulties that existed at present, and finally offered the hope that the 5th Division would quickly reinforce the 2 Brigade at Petrila.

Seeing that his division commander had been thinking, the chief of staff who sent the telegram couldn't help but ask. "How do we reply to Lieutenant General Ankodar?"

Hearing his chief's inquiry, Major General Fergus said with self-deprecation. "Everyone else has sent us the battle plan, can we still refuse? Besides, we didn't see their 2 Brigade defending at Perila facing the attack of three divisions, and we had to reinforce this time. ”

After understanding what his division commander meant, the chief of staff went to send a telegram to the 1st Praetorian Guard Division on the front line. Seeing the departure of the chief of staff, the division commander of Fergus gave a big order. "Record, the order was given out of the logistics troops, so the soldiers immediately prepared to pedal the car, and we headed for Petroshany. At the same time, a telegram was sent to the follow-up troops, telling them not to stop in Targuzhu to recuperate, but to go directly to Petroshani to fight. ”

"Yes, I'll give the order."

Division Commander Fergus watched the staff officer who gave his order leave, and also put on a thick military coat and walked out of the station building. These soldiers are going to battle tomorrow, and he plans to go to the platform to see the state of his soldiers (https:)
