My Italian: Chapter 234 Battle of Thessaloniki End

(Wait for half an hour, it will be finished soon)

The news of the fall of Kalamaria was known to Lieutenant General Ouz last night. For Major General Akyol, who committed suicide because of fear of crime, he couldn't vent his anger on the dead.

However, the problem that Major General Akyol left him made it difficult for him. The news of the loss of the coastal defense fort could not be concealed from the officers and soldiers below, and without the coastal defense fort, the enemy warships could directly bombard the city of Thessaloniki. In this way, the battle that could have been fought in the first place will become more difficult.

Moreover, as a senior Ottoman officer, he is not ignorant of the strength of the enemy's warships, but at present he has no weapons that can deal with the opponent, and he can only be beaten in vain.

Faced with such a situation, Lieutenant General Ouzzi didn't know what to do.

Although he didn't know what to do, the Italian Army would not give him time to think slowly. Early the next morning, the Italian fleet appeared in front of the Saronic defenders.

Although the defeated soldiers came back last night and brought the news of the fall of Kalamaria, how can ordinary soldiers have so much insight. But they will soon find out. Why Calamaria is so important to Thessalonica.

"Immediately order the ships to shell the Saronica in turn."

On the flagship Turin, Lieutenant Admiral Yagier, the fleet commander, immediately gave the order to fire. Following his orders, heavy artillery from Italian warships showed the Ottomans the power of the navy.

"Bounce~Bounce~Bounce!"

The seven battleships of the fleet, in turn, used their main guns to open the eyes of the Ottoman bumpkin.

"boom!"

A shell fell on a house, and after the deafening explosion, the house was no longer here. Not only was there a house missing, but the surrounding houses were damaged to varying degrees.

And more than 30 meters away from the explosion, many people were still injured.

"boom!"

A shell fell on the city wall, directly blasting a gap in the solid city wall.

The fierce Kalamaria offensive and defensive battle has been going on for the third day. In the first two days, the Guards and the Second Marine Division and the First Brigade suffered a lot of casualties. Of course, as a price, the enemy's 14th Ottoman Division also suffered a lot, but even if everyone lost a lot, as long as it is dawn, then The battle continues. The armies of the two sides are still fighting together again, it depends on who can't bear it first.

The sound of cannons, gunshots, roars, and screams intertwined, and a sound of death was played on the battlefield.

Petty was calm? He tried to get rid of these voices? He carefully hid behind a pile of stones, and put the front sight through the stone cracks into the figure of a defending soldier on the position? This soldier's marksmanship is very good? Petty Several comrades were shot by him. He aimed hard at him, then pulled the trigger.

With a "pop", I saw a blood hole on the head of the Ottoman soldier with good marksmanship? Then he fell into the trench without saying a word.

After killing the defending soldier? Petty took a deep breath, hid behind a pile of stones, motionless, and waited for a while before he stuck his head out to observe the battle.

This time, he saw the target at a glance? This is a commander of the garrison? The Ottoman officer wearing an officer's cap is constantly directing the battle. However, it is a bit difficult to kill the opponent, because of his good military qualities, he is not like other soldiers at all? He has his head exposed all the time, and he walks back and forth with conscious dodging movements? Let Petty be here The hunter, whose hometown is praised, is a little troubled.

Hold your breath, calculate the pattern, and wait until the next time the officer comes up again? It falls right into his crosshairs.

"Pop" was another bullet that slammed into the head of the low-ranking officer in the position? A red and white liquid rushed out.

I have to admit? The new rifle in hand is really good? At a distance of about 300 meters, the accuracy is still so good.

But Petty won't have time to observe the specific situation at all, because this time the movement is too big and his position is exposed.

After Petty hurriedly hid back to the pile of rocks, the sound of the bullets slicing through the air stream told him that if he was two or three seconds at night, the bullets would not just pierce the air stream.

Petty, who had escaped life and death, naturally did not dare to stay here, but it was not easy to leave. According to his estimation, there were at least three or four guns aimed at him.

Yes, Petty is a precision marksman. At this time, there is no sniper, but for a marksman like him, the army naturally uses it differently. They do not need to storm enemy positions like other infantrymen, but on the battlefield, they give strong support to their comrades with their excellent marksmanship.

Therefore, the players naturally hope that they can have a sharpshooter among their teammates to help them reduce the pressure. Of course, help is also mutual, and sometimes sharpshooters also need their help, for example, Petty now needs their help very much.

"Quick, cover me!"

Petty, who was unable to lift his head under the firepower of the opponent, cried out to himself for help.

In the face of Petty's loud cry for help, his comrades naturally also paid attention to his dilemma. They immediately opened their rifles to the fastest rate of fire, trying to use the advantage of firepower to suppress the enemy.

The m88 Carcano rifle in their hands also fully demonstrated its trustworthy side, at least much better than the weapons in the hands of the Ottoman army.

The opponent's sudden increase in firepower did indeed suppress the defenders' firepower. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Petty quickly ran out of Shi Tui and quickly jumped down a slope.

And after doing all this, Petty felt scared, and was almost told by that Shi Wu before.

But at this time, suddenly they heard a burst of cheers~www.mtlnovel.com~ What happened? "

Someone asked curiously.

Suddenly their company commander, Captain Barron, ran over and told them the details. "The three regiments next door have broken through the enemy's line of defense and have already entered Kalamaria."

This sentence immediately aroused cheers on the battlefield, and also greatly improved their morale. If others can do it, so can they. In the next battle, it is obvious that the morale of the two sides is different from the previous one.

And these news are not only a huge improvement for the officers and soldiers, but also good news for Lieutenant General Grove, who is leading the overall situation of the battlefield.

You must know that in the two days of battle, the landing force has lost nearly 3,000 people and more than 30 artillery pieces. This number is not small for the landing force with a total strength of less than 40,000. If he still can't get in, then he should consider asking the navy for help, and let them use warships to attract the attention of the enemy's coastal defense battery.

Fortunately, he has not sent this request for help, so this time the third regiment did give him a face.

"Major General Pulev, the lads of the third regiment played well, and I will take credit for them."

Regarding the words of Lieutenant General Grove, Major General Pulev, who had previously served as the head of the regiment, naturally felt a light on his face.

"The third regiment did a good job this time, and it really deserves an award."

Facing the words of his deputy Pulev, Grove continued to ask, "Have the reinforcements gone up?"

Compared with praising the meritorious troops, he is more concerned about the development of the battle situation. Since there has been such a breakthrough, expansion is also the idea of ​​every commander.

"It has already gone up. At present, we have transferred one regiment and one battalion from the second regiment, and another regiment left by the First Marine Division to form a strengthened regiment. They have already joined the third regiment."
