Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Political blackmail and military deception have made the top Turkish officials in Ankara a mess.

    ¡°Just before, Ankara¡¯s top leaders were still immersed in the illusion of peace negotiations, but everything changed in the blink of an eye.

    The German army advanced fiercely and successfully occupied Guinik, while Cukashya and Bolu were also under the most violent and crazy attack by the German army.

    Judging from Marshal Greluman¡¯s telegram, President Inonu, who is also a soldier and once served as Chief of General Staff, clearly knows:

    These two places cannot be defended!

    Once Cukashya and Bolu are lost, the door to Ankara will be opened, and the German army can drive in unscrupulously!

    Now, it¡¯s time to make a decision

    The people in Ankara are still unaware of the harsh conditions on the front line. The government has repeatedly encouraged the people's morale, telling the Turks that the heroic Turkish army is resisting bravely on the front line and the German offensive will be completely crushed.

    They still believe in the government

    But what is the real situation? People at the bottom don¡¯t know, but the big shots at the top know it all too well.

    Some people have begun to suggest to President Inonu to abandon Ankara and retreat to Erzurum, so that if the situation deteriorates again, the Turkish government can withdraw to the Soviet Union.

    However, at this time, President Inonu still showed the spirit of a former soldier and the courage of a national leader. He refused the request without hesitation and told his staff:

    I will fight to the end for Tš¹rkiye!

    If Inonu is politically indecisive, then he is still qualified as a soldier

    While Inonu ordered Marshal Greruman to continue to hold on to Cukashya and Bolu, he began to prepare for the defense of Ankara.

    In his plan, Ankara will gather Turkey¡¯s final strength, all 500,000 troops.  At this time, military support from the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union became crucial.

    But then another piece of news came that made the Ankara government very passive:

    On July 17, the commander-in-chief of the German ¡°Balkan Army¡±, the legendary Skeleton Baron Ernst Alexander von Brahm, issued a solemn statement:

    Rejects the Ankara government¡¯s peace talks proposal and will withdraw the German plenipotentiary negotiator, German Ambassador to Turkey Kahn!  Germany will not accept any peace negotiations until the massacre of German citizens is resolved, before Turkey¡¯s dictator Ismet Inonu steps down, and before Turkey restores true peace, democracy and freedom!

    Now, the truth about the secret negotiations between Germany and Turkey was exposed at once, and the situation of the Inonu government instantly became embarrassing.

    The United Kingdom and the Soviet Union immediately severely condemned Inonu's treacherous approach and solemnly warned that if Turkey continues to secretly negotiate with Germany without informing its allies, the two countries will have to consider giving up their war on Turkey.  support

    Of course, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union will not really give up on Turkey, but they have not concealed their disappointment with the Ankara government at all.

    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Turkey must not be thrown to Germany, perhaps the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union would have abandoned Turkey by now like a broken sack!

    The alliance is still there, but there have been huge and irreparable rifts in the alliance

    Inonu was furious, and he swore that if possible, he would strangle that hateful Ernst Brahm with his own hands!  How despicable he was to put himself at the forefront of the storm!

    What is even more hateful is that the identity of the so-called "German Plenipotentiary Negotiator" Kahn has now been "exposed". Once Ankara executes Kahn, it will seem to the Western world to be a very cruel act that completely ignores diplomatic etiquette.  .

    So no matter how much he hates him, Inonu can only temporarily put Kahn under house arrest instead of executing him immediately

    Wang Weiyi protected Kahn in his own way.

    Never give up on any companion, no matter what his status is

    Now, the whole world has focused its attention on Cucassia and Bolu. Under the crazy and powerful offensive of the German army, Cucassia and Bolu cannot be defended in any case, but the key question now is that Gulleru  How long can Marshal Mann hold on to these two places and how long can he buy Ankara?

    In fact, at this time, Gleruman knew very well that he might not be able to hold on for three days!

    The German army has all-round advantages in the sky and on the ground. Their bombs can easily explode among the Turkish army, they can easily destroy any defensive position of the Turkish army, and they can easily drown countless Turkish soldiers in the smoke of gunpowder.?

    The Turkish army was completely mechanically and passively facing the terrible impact of the German army.

    The German tanks were advancing like a mammoth, the German assault guns were bombing recklessly, and the German assault squadrons were completing breakthroughs again and again like lightning.

    ?Gleruman doesn¡¯t know what else he can do to defend Cukasia and Bolu!

    Surrender?  When this thought flashed across his mind, Marshal Greruman sneered. He could die here, but he would never consider surrender.

    At best, when you are really desperate, you will use a bullet to end your life

    Bad news kept coming to Marshal Greluman. The 12th Infantry Brigade was completely wiped out, and the 15th Infantry Brigade lost all its defensive positions.

    In one day, the German army had completed most of the breakthroughs within the pre-set goals.

    On the two wings of Kukasia and Bolu, the German Wehrmacht, Bulgarian Army, and Yugoslav Army are also rapidly completing the encirclement.

    Once they arrive at the designated combat location, all the Turkish troops in Cukashya and Bolu will be really finished

    Marshal Gleruman knows this very well. He can now choose to abandon Cukasia and Bolu and retreat towards the Ankara defense line. This way he can retain at least half of his troops. However, the consequence of this is that the German army can continue to advance straight in.  Without completing preparations for the defense of Ankara, a direct assault on the Turkish capital was launched.

    There is another option, knowing that it is impossible but continuing to stand here, even if all the troops are lost.  Even if it can buy Ankara one more minute, it can also give the battle to defend the capital a minute of respite.

    Marshal Gleruman chose the latter option without hesitation

    He personally appeared in the most dangerous areas on the battlefield, personally inspiring his soldiers to fight to the end for the great Republic of Turkey.

    He did not hesitate to shoot one of his most trusted subordinates because he lost three positions in succession. He even did not hesitate to send his own son, Culymans of the 25th Infantry Brigade, to the front line in order to tell all the soldiers.  :

    For the sake of the Republic of Turkey, the Gleruman family did not hesitate to kill both their father and son here!

    Greruman tried his best, and the Turkish army was inspired by the marshal's spirit and completely gave up on him.

    However, just when the Turkish soldiers in Cucasia were fighting bloody battles under the command of Marshal Greluman, news like thunder from the blue came from Boluna:

    Under the fierce German offensive, the endangered General Otanli chose to conduct secret negotiations with the German army alone!

    General Dietrich, who was conducting a fierce attack on Bolu, after learning about this situation, immediately stopped the attack on Bolu and personally received General Otanli's envoy.

    History is always like this. When some people fight bloody battles for their country, others decide to betray their motherland.

    This will happen in any country and any nation

    After getting the consent of Field Marshal Ernst Brahm, General Dietrich accepted most of General Otanli's demands.

    At 15:00 on July 17, 1942, General Otanli ordered Bolu to cease resistance and led all Turkish troops to surrender.

    The Battle of Bolu ended in a strange way!

    General Dietrich, who had so successfully captured Bolu, immediately commanded his 1SS Adolf Hitler's Leibstandarte Division to engage in the attack on Kukasia.

    Being attacked from both sides, Kukasia is in danger

    When he learned the news of Bolu¡¯s surrender, Marshal Greruman was not angry or even disappointed.  Maybe this day will come sooner or later. Even if General Otanli does not surrender, there will still be other generals who will.

    There are not many generals like him who are willing to fight to the death for their country.

    Facing the German attack alone, Cukasia was in danger of sinking at any time if it were a small boat in a strong wind.  No more miracles will happen, all that's left is death and destruction.

    The sound of artillery continued, and the enemy was already advancing towards Cucasia.  All the outer positions were lost, and soon the German troops would appear within Cucassia.

    Cuillimans hurried back to the headquarters, reported to his father the terrible situation on the battlefield, and suggested to his father that he should evacuate this terrible place immediately.

    "Are you afraid, my dear son?" Gleruman asked calmly.

    "No, I'm not afraid." Cullmans's answer was so resounding: "I am willing to die for my country, but you are different."??You are the Chief of General Staff of the Republic of Turkey. Your responsibilities are far more important than mine. Please leave here. You can still command your army in Ankara.  "

    "It's not my army, it's the Turkish army." Gleruman smiled and corrected his son's mistake: "In Turkey, someone is already commanding the army for me. As for my responsibility, it is to die here in battle!"

    My responsibility is to die here!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
