Chapter 991
Halfway up the mountain, the Turkish officers and soldiers who had retreated from the front line were retreating along the path on the hill towards the rear.
In a way, they are like a swarm of headless flies at this moment.
In fact, if it were another Turkish army here at this time, I am afraid that it would not be so unbearable. Yes, the Turkish army was indeed very weak, but it was also remarkable for the whole of the First World War.
For example, in the early days of the Caucasus campaign, the Russians suffered some big losses.
It was only later that the situation changed because of the change in the tide of the war and the Russians becoming more cautious, so the situation changed, and gradually Turkey fell into disadvantage again.
The same was true of the Battle of Mesopotamia, in the early stages of which the British were almost eaten whole by the British, surrounded by the Turks. Of course, this is also related to the poor combat capabilities of the Indians.
There is also the Battle of the Dardanelles, which is also considered the most classic battle of the Turks during the First World War.
It was this battle that the British did not gain the slightest gain, although it took a long time. On the contrary, he paid the price of hundreds of thousands of casualties, as well as a large amount of materials, and even Churchill, who later served as British minister, had to resign because of this incidentββββββ of course, he resigned purely because he deserved it, and it can even be said that he should have borne at least half or even seventy percent of the responsibility,
After all, if it weren't for the fact that he had to provoke the Turks, seized the battleships that the Turks had purchased from the British, and forced the Turks to finally choose Germany, then this battle could have been avoided.
Then there was the Dardanelles Strait and the Black Sea, which would have been an important lifeline for the Allies to send supplies to Russia. But it was because of Churchill's move. As a result, everything was empty.
Of course, this may also be because Churchill's ambitions were too big, and he felt that the war that would determine the fate of Europe had already begun anyway. So why not just play bigger? Turkey is weak though. But with Britain, France, Russia, Germany, Austria and Italy all involved, it can be said that all the European powers have basically intervenedββββββ except for Turkey.
Turkey is weak though. But it can also be called across Europe and Asia.
Fighting to the death on your own side, leaving the Turks to watch the excitement on the side? This is also too sorry for the balancing strategy of the British. What's more, Churchill also looked down on the Turks at that time, and it should be very easy for the bureau to clean up the Turks, so why not simply drag Turkey into the water, so that after Turkey is cleaned up, Turkey can be carved up by the way.
It's just that...
The British apparently did not expect Turkey to be so difficult, and it turned out during the Battle of the Dardanelles. It was clear that a large number of troops were also needed in the European direction, but the British wasted a huge number of troops on this strait, which could not have been feared ...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
In any case, as mentioned earlier, the Turks have had their moments of glory in a way. It can even be said that Turkey is very likely to be stronger than the Chinese government of the same period, well, to be exact, the historical Beiyang government.
After all, the Beiyang government at the same time seemed, probably, probably, and as if it did not have the ability to engage in a battle similar to the Battle of the Dardanelles.
This also means that the Turks do have a certain elite force.
It's just like what was said before. These elite troops were largely concentrated in positions of confrontation with Greece. After all, it was the main area of operations, and the minor troops were deployed on the border with Middle-earth. Used to guard against the Chinese.
Finally, slightly worse troops were also deployed on the border with Syria to defend against the French. Only the weakest group of troops remained in the Caucasus direction, no way, who called Soviet Russia an ally of Turkey at that time, of course Turkey could not guard against Soviet Russiaββββββ besides, the situation at that time was so complicated, and the objects that needed to be guarded against by the Turks could be said to be countless, and in this case, it was natural to separate a key point...
And it turned out. The troops that were originally used to defend against Soviet Russia were almost all third-rate troops. And also a third-rate unit within the Turkish army, from the point of view of the whole world. It can be said that it is not in the stream.
Not only is the combat effectiveness weak, but the most important thing is that there is not much morale, which also leads these troops to collapse at the touch of a button when facing Soviet Russia...
And the task of Wang Ruhui and He Wenyuan at the moment is to gather all these people and let them stand on the front line to fight with Soviet Russia!
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After making all the Turkish soldiers support them with their words, Wang Ruhui and He Wenyuan quickly rushed down the mountain with them and came to the deserters.
"What are you guys doing..."
Looking at the soldiers in front of him, a Turkish officer said with some anger.
Don't look at him when he seems to be very cowardly in front of the Russians, but in front of these so-called compatriots, he can be called very temperamental. Therefore, when he saw these small soldiers stop in front of him, the officer's temper was about to explode.
Seeing this officer, he seemed to be very annoyed, and the soldiers who stopped them under Wang Ruhui's order looked a little frightened, especially the soldiers in front couldn't help but take two steps back.
Noticing this, the officer's face showed a smug expression, and he was about to reprimand them before continuing to run away.
At the same time, Wang Ruhui and He Wenyuan on the side couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time, they also knew that it was time for them to come forward.
So after glancing at each other, the two of them stepped forward in unisonββββββAs for the adjutant? At this time, of course, how far away it is, just hide as far as you want, after all, if you still show your head at this time, if you are remembered by a chief, it will be a fatal thing...
"Who are you?" Although the Commune government sent soldiers from the officer corps. There are quite a few people on the Turkish side who know about it, especially those officers at the front. But this is just a very ordinary major, so naturally he is not qualified to know this. So after seeing two yellow men wearing Turkish military uniforms appear in front of him, the officer suddenly showed a puzzled expression...
"I'm sorry. Disturbing such a majestic moment for you..."Glancing at the officer with a smile, Wang Ruhui said to the soldiers on the side. "Remember my command? Give me all the deserter's weapons and take them to the mountains! β
Although he didn't know what Wang Ruhui meant, the officer still understood his words. Therefore, after hearing Wang Ruhui's words, the officer suddenly burst into a rage. "You dare!"
After speaking, he glanced at the soldiers in front of him, and said angrily. "I see which of you dares to !!"
Not only him, but also the deserters behind him.
And yet look at this officer. The smile on Wang Ruhui's original face slowly faded, and was replaced by a stern look.
"What are you afraid of, you know, these guys in front of you are no longer officers, nor are they some superiors who can reprimand you at will, their identity is deserters, just a group of deserters!"
"Although I don't know exactly what your Turkish military discipline is, do you need to be polite to a group of deserters!"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After all, it was a group of outsiders, and Wang Ruhui definitely didn't know what the Turkish military law said about deserters. It is even less clear what the content of Turkish military law is. However, he believed that the military law of any country was very harsh on the punishment for desertion.
This is the case, for example, in the case of desertion, as long as the punishment is absolutely severe.
This is not surprising. Because in the beginning, there were also deserters in the Wehrmacht. Even during the period of the Anhui military government, there would also be another phenomenon of desertion, which can almost be said to be unavoidable, after all, the position of the Anhui military government at that time was not very stable.
By the time the Nationalist Government was established, the Nationalist Government basically did not have much control over the local armies.
Especially during the Shandong Campaign, when troops from various places were transferred to Shandong, soldiers often fled on the way.
Naturally, their fate was also miserable.
And not just because they were caught after they escaped. squatted in prison, but also because they were looked down upon by almost all the countrymen. In some cases, they also include their families...
There's no way, if it's still the original period of chaotic military law. Then it's nothing for them to be deserters. Because at that time, China was still pursuing the adage that a good man should not be a soldier, and a good iron would not be nailed, so if some people were unwilling to be soldiers and finally chose to run away, the people around them would also agree.
But this time is different, these wars are almost all related to the honor of the country. With the growing prestige of the national government and the gradual realization of the benefits by the people in China, the concept of national honor has also begun to take root in the hearts of the people.
In this case, these deserters will naturally be despised by others.
In some cases, even family members can be affected.
In this regard, Yan Shao naturally felt a little unbearable, because he knew very well that these people were just in a habit. If they are reformed over a period of time, they may not choose to become deserters. Just like in later China, how many soldiers would choose to be deserters? Of course, this also has to do with the fact that there was no war at that time.
However, Yan Shao knew very well that he could not be soft-hearted, because the Kuomintang government at that time had just been established, and if he was soft-hearted, it would easily cause other troops to follow suit. At that time, it was the time when they were fighting the Japanese, and if they all turned into deserters, then it seemed that the battle would not be necessary...
Fortunately, after the initial punishment of a group of deserters, there were very few deserters after that...
It is not surprising that during the first days of the European Expeditionary Force, there were many people who wanted to become deserters, but they all arrived in Europe. Even if you want to run, where can you run?
And after a while, the sense of honor of the soldiers brushed up, and naturally no one would run away lightly.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Although it is unclear what the punishment for deserters will be on the Turkish side, it will not be easier in comparison. At least after hearing Wang Ruhui's words, the soldiers who were still a little cowering suddenly changed their expressions. It's as if the whole person has changed.
And at the same time, after noticing this, the officer who was still arrogant just now. His face couldn't help but change.
Just when he wanted to say something and turn the situation around. I saw that the soldiers had already come up with bayonets. At the same time, the red-eyed appearance of those soldiers also made him understand that these people were definitely serious.
On one side are deserters who are about to escape, and on the other side are a group of soldiers who are preparing to fight for their lives. Compared with the two parties, which side is stronger, it seems to be a matter of self-determination?
At least in the face of bayonets, these Turks, who were busy running for their lives, had no room for resistance. And after a long journey, they really didn't have much body to resist.
So after a bit of struggle. These people could only follow a small group of soldiers up the hill in obedience.
"Remember, take out all those officers and let them use them as a separate squad..."
When a platoon commander escorted people to the mountain, Wang Ruhui reminded on the side.
He was well aware of the officers' ability to agitate. What's more, they are also officers anyway, and they will definitely have some influence in the army. Although now that I am a deserter, I will definitely be affected a little, but don't forget, they are also surrounded by a group of deserters, and they are all the same as each other, but it is easier to have a sense of closeness.
In addition, these deserters are now the time to accuse the Russians. Who knows what they will do to escapeββββββ they are afraid of the Russians, but that does not necessarily mean that they are afraid of the Turks, who are their fellow citizens.
To know. Countless examples have proven that many people are weak on the outside but also cruel on the inside. This is true of any country...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Hearing Wang Ruhui's instructions, the officer felt a little inexplicable at first, but soon understood what Wang Ruhui meant, and quickly nodded. "Don't worry, I'll arrange it carefully." After all, it's for his own net worth and life, so he can't help but be careless...
But on the other hand, it may also be because of this success. made him have some confidence in Wang Ruhui and them, and he was more or less willing to listen to their orders...
Uh-huh. It must be made up within half an hour!!
