Romanian Eagle

Chapter 291: Raid (3)

On the day of the month, all Romanian newspapers reported on the news of the Kingdom’s declaration of war with Austria-Hungary (Romania currently only submitted a declaration of war against Austria-Hungary). Then, it was reported in the newspapers that the Romanians in Transylvania were bullied by the Hungarians. The postman and the police sent out the army's call-up list, and the streets suddenly depressed.

"Petrosani was taken down."

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

The staff informant's words calmed the officers waiting in the hall, and then there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers. "U~la"

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

"Really, this is great. We completely crossed the barriers of the Carpathian Mountains, and were not at a disadvantage in the terrain."

"This is really good news. In addition, the Northern Army has already won the Krakan and Protz Pass, and our two major Army groups have already made a good start."

"This is indeed the case. At present, there is no news from the Central Army. Will there be any surprises."

"This is impossible. After both the north and the south have a breakthrough, the enemy is not a fool. It is certainly impossible to increase Brasov's troops. Then the pressure on the Central Army will be much less. This will definitely allow it to achieve a breakthrough. We only Just wait patiently."

The news that the staff members got, as the chief of the general staff, Preeshan, of course, must have been known before them, and the detailed report must be sent to him first, but Preeshan is not the only one in his office today.

"Your Majesty, the First Division of the Guards has already taken Petrosani. It took Petrosani in less than a day. As expected, Lieutenant General Ankodar is still the one who dared to play.

His Majesty Preeshan revealed who came, and he came to the General Staff to wait for the first-hand good news. The Lieutenant General Ankodar in the Puli Pass was Major General Ankodar, the commander of the Fifth Division who had outstanding performance in the Battle of Tarnovo in the Second Balkan War.

Although not comparable to Lieutenant General Feleit, who served as the director of education and served as the commander of the Northern Army in this battle, his ability to succeed Lieutenant General Blongat, who has retired due to his old age, can also be seen in his ability. Serving as the commander of Romania is one of the three main elite divisions, so that Lieutenant General Ankodar can be regarded as one of the top ranks of the military. In the future, the three giants of the military will not lose their chance.

"Have the follow-up troops followed?"

Faced with the good news from Preeshan, Edel was more concerned about the subsequent actions. Because no other troops were mobilized in the plan for secrecy, Edel was a little worried about being pushed back by Austria-Hungary. However, of course he will not forget Lieutenant General Ankodar, who successfully raided Petrosani, but now is not the time for recognition. At least it needs to wait until Transylvania is completely taken.

Preshan, who understood the king's heart, immediately told the news he wanted to obtain. "Your Majesty currently has a brigade of reinforcements from the 9th Division, 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 what Admiral Pule had said, Edel was also relieved. In this attack on Transylvania, anyone with a little military knowledge knows the role of Army Group Southern in this battle. As long as it can win Deva, then Romania will have an advantage in this battle. Because this is the era, the role of the railway in the military cannot be overstated. Whoever allows Deva to have a railway connecting Romania and Austria-Hungary, then its important status cannot be overstated.

Just when Edel and Preeshan were chatting about the Army Group South, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Preshan knew that there must be something important to knock on the door at this time, and as expected, his secretary walked in and reported good news to him and the king. "Your Majesty, Admiral, the Central Army has just sent a telegram. They have taken the Radar Yar Pass. This is the detailed telegram they sent."

The secretary was really sensible. Knowing what the two big men in this room cared about most, he immediately passed the telegram out. And through his rapidly rising and falling chest, he could see that he was rushing over as soon as he got the news with the heat on his head.

"Thanks."

Admiral Preeshan 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 speaking, he walked out of the room.

Preshan opened the report and read it. He briefly looked at it and told Edel who was waiting for the news. "Your Majesty, there was a small accident in the Central Army, and it is all right now. The process is written in this telegram, please see, Your Majesty."

Edel took the telegram and read it. In the telegram, the Army Group recounted the reason why the telegram was so late. It turned out that their unsuccessful attack alarmed the defenders of the Raid Yar Pass, and then they could only force the 8th Division as an arrow force to attack. But fortunately, the storm went smoothly~lightnovelpub.net~ Before the arrival of the Austro-Hungarian reinforcements in Brasov, the mountain pass was taken down. Now the 8th Division Brigade is resisting the late Austro-Hungarian at this mountain pass. 23 divisions.

In addition, the Central Army also stated in the telegram that the other units of the 8th Division are already 20 kilometers away from the Radial Pass and will arrive at the pass tonight to ensure that they will not be retaken 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, the predecessor would have to dispel his thoughts. "Your Majesty, we can't do it yet. It takes time to assemble troops, and time to transport weapons and ammunition. Also, we only issued a general mobilization today. All of these take time."

Preeshan rejected his suggestion, and Edel was not angry. "Well, I am impatient."

Edel still has military knowledge and knows that the Romanian raid is going well now, it is all based on the standing army that has been trained for more than ten years. And he is about to fight a battle for Transylvania. He also knows that the 400,000 standing army alone may not necessarily be able to defeat the Austro-Hungarian one million army, not to mention the Bulgarian army and the world's number one German army. This requires general mobilization. That's fine, Edel can only wait now.
