At noon on the D2nd, the Russian command still did not receive accurate information, and there was no way to judge in what direction the international column was attacking.

But the commander of the Front, Boris? Shaposhnikov, judging from scattered intelligence, did not attack the international column to the east along the coastline of the Sea of Marmara.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of the D2nd, Shaposhnikov ordered the reserve of the battle concubine in his hand to start moving to the west to stop the attacking troops of the international column that was breaking through in the direction of the back of the neck of the Russian army.

When the communications staff officer entered the map room, Sissi was briefing General Lundstead, who had just arrived, on the front line.

"Report!" The communications staff officer interrupted Sissi's words without hesitation, "The air team report found that the Russian army's reserve Zhanji troops were dispatched, and the entire force had about sixty magic guide armors, and they were moving westward. ”

As he spoke, the communications staff officer handed the telegram in his hand to Sissi.

Sissi took it and looked at it, then drew a line on the map.

"This is the direction of the attack of the Russian army?" Lundstead asked.

"Yes, the Russian warriors are moving along this road, accompanied only by cavalry and a small number of trucks." Sissi paused, then asked, "What do you think is the current situation......

Lundsteder raised a hand and shook his head slightly: "Don't ask my opinion, I'm just here to make a show, before leaving, Miss President told me not to interfere with your front-line command, so I just sit here and watch, you fight your battle, don't worry about me." ”

Sissi's expression was a little embarrassed, she pondered for a moment, and then said to the old general: "No matter what Miss Viola tells you, I personally admire you very much, so please be sure to teach you a lesson or two." And although we are now in the name of an international column, everyone knows that it was the German army that went on the offensive, and the Wehrmacht also made up a considerable proportion of this army, so you must not want this army to lose on the battlefield, right? ”

Lundstead was silent for a while before he sighed: "Of course I don't want this army to lose on the battlefield, but if you want to ask my opinion, then I will say that your entire battle plan is, and the war should not be fought like this." However, it was Mr. Lin Youdelin, who was now bedridden, who had defeated us with a group of untrained and poorly equipped workers, so I could not guarantee that my opinion of his battle plan was correct, and perhaps I was the one who should be denied. ”

After speaking, Lundstead looked down at the map, and then knocked on the map table and continued to say to Sissi: "Putting these aside, in view of the current situation, my opinion is that if your forward can really advance so fast, then this battle Ji unit of the Russian army will miss the attack group and establish a defense line behind the attack group." ”

Sissi looked at the old general with some surprise: "How do you judge the ...... of the Russian army?"

"I couldn't be clearer about the speed of the advance of the Russian army's Zhanji troops, if this Russian army is still the Russian army in the past. Mrs. Ludendorff and Mrs. Hindenburg, who had been cultivated in Liechtenstein, must know better, or Miss Sissi could send a telegram to ask for their opinion. ”

"No, no." Sissi shook her head and made a gesture of please, "You go on." ”

"The battle concubines of the Russian army will not be able to stop the attack at all, but they will cut off the supply of our army to the front line. The news was much better than if the attack had been forcibly stopped, as it was just a force with few accompanying troops, and it might have been very strong throughout the morning, but by the afternoon it would quickly weaken as their magic armor needed to be refurbished. ”

"What do you mean ......"

"Now immediately rush to the assault clusters ahead to get supplies so that they can continue their attacks until we open the supply lines. At the same time, the rear is ready to use wave attacks to consume them as soon as the Russian warriors appear, until they have exhausted the parts and other supplies they carry and have to retreat. It won't waste much time. Of course, in order to prevent these Russian warriors from receiving support from nearby Russian troops, you must disperse all Russian units near the intended area of engagement. There is no way for a war queen army of this kind to affect the entire offensive side, and that is the task of a legion. ”

As he spoke, Lundstead drew a circle on the map.

"This is the area where we are scheduled to engage the enemy's Senhime forces."

Immediately afterwards, Lundsteder crossed several squares representing Russian infantry units around him.

"These Russian units must be eliminated within today's time, even if it is a night battle!"

In the village of Velikoy, northeast of Chorlu, as soon as night fell on D2, the artillery fire of the international column began to roar.

After a short but ferocious artillery fire had passed, the infantry units of the international column near the village had already been detected and charged.

No sooner had the shouts of slaughter been heard, a flare was fired into the sky, followed by a ferocious fire from the buildings outside the village that had been blown to ruins, knocking down the attacking international column soldiers like wheat.

Immediately afterwards, the black behemoth smashed through the low wall of the village, spitting tongues of fire and charging at the attacking troops.

"Stop!" The lieutenant of the international column leading the charge of the attacking force found out about the situation and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers who were lying on the ground next to him to fight back, and then he took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, took the rifle of the soldier next to him, tied it to the bayonet and raised it.

At this time, the black monsters drove right in front of the attacker's skirmisher line, and under the light of the flares, the people inside obviously noticed that the situation was wrong.

The fierce gunfire soon quieted down, the lid on the steel giant's head opened, and a hand holding a white cloth stretched out, and then the head with the soft felt hat of the armored soldier poked out: "Damn, which unit are you?" ”

"The 30th Infantry Regiment, ordered to clear the Russian troops here!" The lieutenant replied loudly, "Damn it, where did you guys come from?" ”

"We took this place in the early hours of this morning! Where did the Russian army come from! We've been bombarded by your cannons, bastards! ”

A few dozen minutes later, the commanders of the two armies met.

"Erwin? Joe Hansen? Eugen, commander of the armored repair squadron of the Combat Engineer Brigade. The middle-aged man in the uniform of the armored corps said to the infantry commander in front of him.

The latter looked surprised: "I...... I remember you! You are ......"

"Yes, I used to be an instructor at the Dresden Infantry Officer School, but unfortunately I don't remember your face. Let's get down to business, the artillery assigned to you is good, and the artillery is accurate and fierce. "Of course, I think the problem is mainly in the communication of the higher command organs, I participated in the last war, I have seen this kind of thing a lot, especially the situation of artillery shells falling on their own heads, which can be seen almost everywhere on the battlefield." ”

"I'm sorry." The commander of the infantry regiment had a very sincere expression, "But, what are your troops doing here?" ”

"Our strikers routed the Russian troops here in the early hours of this morning, and then the command ordered our armored repair team to stop here and go to tow the broken down tanks, so we did so, and we were all rushing to repair the armored vehicles towed back by the armored repair vehicles until you started shelling."

After hearing this, the commander of the infantry regiment said to Erwin: "I'm afraid you have to lead your troops and start moving, Lieutenant Colonel Eugene. ”

"It's Eugen, damn it." Erwin scolded and corrected the pronunciation of the infantry commander, "Why do you want us to leave?" I agree with the Combat Engineer Command that this is a good location, surrounded by fields, the ground is just right for armoured maintenance vehicles, and the key is that the vegetables grown in this neighborhood taste good. ”

"Uh," said the infantry commander after a moment's hesitation, "Headquarters—I mean the commander-in-chief of the international column has received information that a unit of the Russian army has set out from their main base and is heading this way. The command expects this area to become a combat zone, so the Russian infantry units in the vicinity must be cleared before they arrive tomorrow. ”

Erwin raised an eyebrow, and the look on his face, which was very ugly because he had been inexplicably blown up, unfolded into the expression of a child who was excited when he saw a novel insect - of course, this is a child who is not afraid of insects.

"Warrior Princess? How many of them are there? ”

The infantry regiment commander looked dazed, and it was obvious that the command would not tell him this kind of information.

Aware of this, Erwin turned and looked at the village that had just been set on fire by the shelling. He called out to his adjutant: "How many tanks do we have available?" ”

"Those who stay in charge of guarding and those who repair them, we have sixty-five of them that can be used." The adjutant reported very quickly.

Alwyn bit his lip and looked at the still black ground in the village under the light of several fires.

Suddenly, he pointed to the distance and said: "This road through Velikoy, it forks there, the one to the east leads to Kemel Bernal, and the one to the north leads to Saraj, and if the Russian warriors come from the east, they will inevitably pass through here." And I've been around the terrain in my beloved jeep with a couple of tank commanders during the day, and I think we can ambush them here. ”

Then Elwin turned around, pointed to the commander of the infantry regiment, and said, "You, and the artillery attached to your regiment, are now under my command, and we are going to ambush the enemy here." ”

**

"Report," the communications staff officer snapped behind Sissi, "the Fifth Infantry Division was transferred to the commander of the Combat Engineer Brigade Armored Maintenance Team Erwin?" Joe Hansen? Eugen's request was to ambush the Russian army in Velikoy. ”

Sissi frowned, and at this time Lundstead said: "I don't think there is a problem, our purpose is to consume this Russian army's battle army, as for whether it is an ambush or a wave attack, it is not much different, anyway, it is filled with human lives." Still, Erwin? It's a familiar name......"

"I heard that he used to be an instructor at the Dresden Infantry School, and he also used to teach as a guest at the Infantry School in Vienna Neustadt." Sissi immediately explained that she had read the information of all the senior officers under her name overnight before coming to Turkey.

"Ah, I remember." Lundsteder nodded, "He won several Iron Crosses as an infantry company commander in the last battle, and once led three people to repel an attack of twenty men, and held out until reinforcements arrived. He didn't even continue to teach at the academy, and he came to you to command something...... Repair team? ”

"Yes." Sissi nodded.

Lundstead shook his head, the expression on his face very subtle.
