Buddhist monks in the late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 1109 Military Prodigy
From ten o'clock in the morning to about ten-thirty, the first wave of attack by the six Greek battalions had not yet begun, and they hurriedly retreated temporarily, leaving behind dozens of corpses.

The Bulgarian soldiers in the trenches looked at the man on the bunker with awe, and asked who he was.

They asked one level after another, and finally found out that they had reached Kliment Boyaziev at the command post.

Kliment Boyadyev thought for two seconds and told his adjutant: "Tell them the truth."

The adjutant was stunned: "What if Zhao Chuanxin is unhappy?"

"Telling the soldiers the truth can boost morale. I've already paid, so why should I care whether he's happy or not? Besides, he didn't forbid me to tell the soldiers the truth."

The adjutant told the soldiers that the truth was out.

It turns out that the man on the bunker is the legendary Zhao Chuanxin in the military, the butcher that makes Europeans and Americans shudder.

Kliment Boyadzhiev's timing was perfect.

Zhao Chuanxin made his debut first, trying out his skills. When his identity was revealed, the morale of the troops on the 123rd line of defense was greatly boosted.

"He is Zhao Chuanxin!"

"It's really amazing."

"I heard that he led the cavalry and stopped two regiments of the Greek Second Division at the Galikos River."

"I hope he can keep me alive."

"To survive, you have to rely on yourself..."

Zhao Chuanxin glanced around the battlefield. He didn't think the Greek army would stop because of a few minor casualties.

Sure enough, he understood when he saw the armored truck.

This is a tracked armored vehicle with an open top. The front two wheels are tires and the rear is a track. It has a unique shape.

It has bulletproof plates, firing holes, and a heavy machine gun installed.

The soldier hid behind the car, occasionally turning his head to take a quick look at the road, and then continued driving.

Rows of infantry hid behind armored vehicles and crouched forward on the sides, trying to use the vehicles as cover.

Although it's tiring, it's better than being shot.

This type of armored vehicle was used by the British during the Russo-Boer War of 1899-1902.

It is more like an armored tractor than an armored vehicle, and is far from being a tank.

During the First Balkan War, Zhao Chuanxin not only saw one, but also robbed one, dismantled it on the spot, asked Xingyue to memorize the drawings, and gave them to the students of Juanwang Technical College for research.

Therefore, war can cause the people of one land to suffer, but it can also nourish the development of another land.

Zhao Chuanxin counted them and found there were ten in total.

The armored vehicles seem to be slower than humans walking, no wonder they have to be used only as a last resort.

He flashed five hundred meters away, flashed five hundred meters again, and then squatted on the side of the road carrying a cruise missile launcher.

The tail flame is ejected from the launch tube.

whoosh...

boom……

boom……

After Zhao Chuanxin destroyed five cars in a row, the remaining five quickly turned around.

But they are too slow.

The soldiers behind the armored vehicle ran away first, and the soldiers left on the vehicle were in panic.

"Jump out of the car."

Even the driver ran away.

Zhao Chuanxin sighed: "1000 big eyeball gold coins are gone."

The Bulgarian army cheered.

Some people were so excited that they jumped out of the trenches, raising their hands and jumping to celebrate the grand fireworks.

At this moment, Greek cavalry came roaring and the man was shot dead on the spot.

The rest of the people were so frightened that they hid behind the trenches and fired back at the cavalry.

The cavalry was the vanguard, and soon, two regiments of the Greek 2nd Division, which had been blocked by Zhao Chuanxin on the Galikos River, arrived.

Fortunately, Zhao Chuanxin ordered the 600 Bulgarian cavalry to retreat first in time.

The two Greek regiments were blocked and they quickly used radio to contact their cavalry to come back for support.

Whenever the Bulgarian cavalry retreated straight back, they would collide head-on with the Greek cavalry.

Seeing that the encirclement was complete, the Greek side's morale was boosted, and both sides advanced together.

Zhao Chuanxin heard the gunshots and hurried to Bunker No. 4.

Once there are more than ten thousand people, it becomes a sea of ​​people, endless and boundless.

This kind of positional warfare is different from Zhao Chuanxin's personal guerrilla warfare, and the battlefield is cruel.

Relying on the trenches to protect the 123rd Line of Defense, the Greek army suffered heavy casualties during the outflanking and encirclement.

The Greek army's mountain artillery rear team in the west fired at the 123rd defense line.

Mountain artillery is not very accurate, but it is very deterrent.

Zhao Chuanxin was operating the Maxim rifle to fire when Xingyue suddenly gave a warning. Zhao Chuanxin hurried to Bunker No. 6. Bunker No. 4, where he was originally, was blown up on the spot.

Zhao Chuanxin was furious and immediately took out his mountain cannon to fight back.

Zhao Chuanxin specially set up a Krupp M1904 mountain artillery turret next to it.

The elevation angle is 3°12 minutes, plus the height of the turret, the range is 1380 meters.

boom.

The horizontal firing range is fine-tuned by 0.6 degrees.

boom……

Zhao Chuanxin and Xingyue had already recorded the elevation and horizontal angle data of this cannon as early as the battle against the Tsarist Russians in Lubin Prefecture.

Zhao Chuanxin fired smoothly, and the second shot destroyed a mountain cannon and artilleryman of the Greek army.

The adjutant went to report to Kliment Boyagev at the command post: "The battle was fierce, and the Greek army's offensive was fierce. But the 123rd defense line was impregnable. Zhao Chuanxin destroyed the enemy's armored vehicles and mountain artillery positions..."

Kliment Boyadyev's eyes sparkled, and he clapped his hands together and said excitedly: "This money is not wasted at all..."

Ah... so fragrant!
The Greek military's reaction was exactly the opposite.

King Constantine of Greece received a radio call from the front at his command post.

The military newspaper said: The Bulgarian army's No. 123 defense line resisted stubbornly. They had special artillery that could destroy armored vehicles and aircraft. In the mountain artillery bombardment, we also fell into a disadvantage. At this time, the total number of casualties on the front line exceeded more than 900 people...

Constantine I received military training in Prussia in his early years. He led the Greek army to a disastrous defeat in the Rare Earth War of 1897, but performed well and won many battles during the First Balkan War.

He is the kind of person who becomes braver as the battle goes on and will not give up easily.

This time, under his command, everything went smoothly until they were blocked in Kilkis.

Constantine was shocked after reading the telegram. He quickly adjusted his strategy and issued orders: bypass the No. 123 defense line and launch a roundabout attack to encircle the enemy.

He guessed that the Bulgarian army had placed its most elite troops and strongest weapons on the front line of defense No. 123.

In Kilkis, the Latvian army received more and more reinforcements, and other regiments of the 2nd Division arrived one after another.

Zhao Chuanxin was firing through a telescope and after he emptied an ammunition feed plate, he blinked and felt something was wrong.

He immediately flashed to the command post and told Kliment Boyagiev: "The Greek army is trying to bypass the 123rd line of defense and attack other lines of defense. You should be prepared in advance."

Just now Kliment Boyagev received a telegram from his adjutant saying that Zhao Chuanxin was on the bunker, and the next moment Zhao Chuanxin appeared at the command post.

Kliment Boyaziev opened his mouth and was about to speak when Zhao Chuanxin disappeared on the spot.

Fifteen minutes later, the Bulgarian soldiers in the trench of Line 123 also noticed something was going on.

They were fighting fiercely, but the 4567 defense line seemed to be broken.

This made them very uneasy.

On the battlefield, soldiers' psychological activities are directly reflected in their shooting accuracy, speed, and rhythm.

In the trenches, the sounds of chickens and dogs could be heard. When the adrenaline surged, people's observation abilities became particularly strong and panic spread horizontally.

Zhao Chuanxin cannot do two things at once and will not deliberately observe the reactions of his soldiers.

But Xingyue gave scores on the display screen based on the intensity of the exchange of fire between the two sides.

The Greek side had more people and more power, while the Bulgarian side had the advantage of trenches.

The original scores of both sides were: 14679-VS-15846.

At this time, the scores of both sides are: 16328-VS-13262.

Zhao Chuanxin occasionally glanced at the data.

After reading it, he was slightly stunned.

I was clearly trying hard to put out the fire, so how come the situation changed in an instant?
He really still lacks battlefield experience.

In the distance, the adjutant was watching the battle with a telescope.

Seeing that the defense line behind No. 4 showed signs of collapse, and that the defense lines No. 123 were also unstable, he hurriedly asked someone to report the battle situation to the command post.

But when he looked again, he found that no one was firing from bunkers No. 12356, which meant that Zhao Chuanxin had left the bunker.

He wondered, could it be that Zhao Chuanxin ran away when he saw the situation was not good?
You know, just now the Greek soldiers concentrated their fire on the bunker, causing flames to fly and stones to fly, but Zhao Chuanxin did not stop his firepower at all.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin flashed into the trench. He did not crouch, but ran behind the soldiers: "Cheer up, cheer up, I will fight with you to the end, cheer up..."

He repeatedly flashed in the trench, repeating the same words over and over again with his vocal organs.

After the Bulgarian soldiers heard his words and saw his face which was also blackened by gunpowder smoke, they regained their confidence.

Zhao Chuanxin inspected the area, wiped the outer lens of his head-mounted telescope, came to the trench of position No. 2, squeezed aside two soldiers and set up a machine gun.

Others dare not show their heads, but he does.

Tata Tata...

At this time, others were just shooting back and forth.

Zhao Chuanxin's shooting was extremely efficient. Greek soldiers would be shot if they bent over, and they would not be able to escape even if they crawled to avoid being shot.

Suddenly, Zhao Chuanxin lowered his head, and a rifle bullet hit the wall of the trench behind him, creating a smoking mud pit.

The people around were stunned.

I...did you dodge a bullet? Did you see that correctly?
Zhao Chuanxin held a cigar in his mouth and said to his left and right: "Take a break and smoke a cigarette. I'll hold the line for a while. You guys go up later and I'll replace the other defense lines."

As he spoke he continued to shoot, shooting smoothly and leisurely, as if he was working in his own backyard.

This atmosphere is also contagious.

The No. 123 defense line was stabilized instantly.

In the distance, the adjutant was shocked when he saw this scene: "Zhao Chuanxin is truly a war genius." He was almost out of his depth.

Now that the defense line was stabilized, Zhao Chuanxin felt a little more relaxed.

He teleported to Bunker No. 5, hid behind the stone wall, and rested against the wall.

Greece VS Bulgaria = 12538-VS-18341.

The data is limited to the comparison of the battle situation of the 123rd line of defense.

This was when Zhao Chuanxin did not open fire.

A strange sight appeared in Kilkis's defense system. The No. 4 and subsequent defense systems were about to collapse, but the No. 123 defense lines were as solid as a rock.

Xingyue reminded Zhao Chuanxin, but Zhao Chuanxin remained unmoved: "I'm only responsible for defense line 123."

As he finished his cigar, the data began to become unstable again: 15373-VS-13491.

Zhao Chuanxin threw the cigar out of the bunker, twisted his neck, put on the chaos armor, and flashed to the No. 1 defense line.

"Don't worry about others, just take care of your own job."

A Bulgarian soldier with a young face asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Mr. Zhao, can we hold on?"

Just as Zhao Chuanxin was about to answer, the young man kept talking and had to show his head, and was shot in the skull.

Old Zhao calmly took out a rag and wiped the red and white stuff on the Chaos Armor mask. He pointed at the corpse with half of its head broken and said, "Line 123 can definitely be defended. You can go with peace of mind."

The rest: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin bent his bow, drew his arrow, and shot an explosive arrow out.

boom……

He shot as he walked, and leisurely shot to the No. 2 defense line, which gave his arm some buffer time.

"Not bad. Look, the Kilkis defense system has collapsed, and we are the only ones still fighting."

He said frightening words in a calm tone. No one knew whether to laugh or cry. Most people had become numb.

Make a concerted effort at the first blow, then make a concerted effort at the second blow, and then make a concerted effort at the third

It's good to be numb. They forget their fear and listen to whatever you say.

At this time, a battalion commander crouched and ran to Zhao Chuanxin and said, "Mr. Zhao, the command post requires us to engage the enemy and let the main force retreat. Kilkis can no longer be defended."

When the people around heard this, there was a hint of sadness in their numb and empty eyes.

Those who come last are always cannon fodder.

In fact, the pressure on the defense line here is already very small, and the enemy is just bluffing in order to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.

Zhao Chuanxin even stopped shooting and leaned against the trench wall to smoke.

Of course, if the Greek army comes out empty-handed, they will turn around to deal with the most stubborn Line 123.

"Oh? Then just guard it, it won't be a big problem."

"..." The battalion commander was a little excited: "Isn't this a big problem? Mr. Zhao, tell me, do we still have a way out?"

When Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth, only his teeth were white.

"I've just warmed up, and you're asking me if I have a chance to survive?"

At this time, a team of Greek soldiers close to the trench threw grenades here.

Zhao Chuanxin leisurely took out the Ares M1907 submachine gun and started firing.

Chug tug tug…

Boom boom boom...

This row of grenades actually exploded in the air because of him.

The battalion commander stared with his eyes wide open.

That group of Greek soldiers were immediately killed by the concentrated fire from this side.

Zhao Chuanxin put away his gun and flicked the ash off his cigarette: "Don't panic, we are just getting started."

When the soldiers on the rest of the defense lines began to retreat, Kliment Boyagev ordered the No. 123 defense line to retreat, which was equivalent to spending money to use Zhao Chuanxin to death.

Zhao Chuanxin thought of the future battle.

He chuckled and said: Just consider it as building a good reputation for myself.

He first teleported to the bunker, climbed up to the height and looked around the entire area, then returned to the trench and told the regiment commander in charge of the 123rd defense line: "Don't retreat directly to the north, take your men to the south, leave a battalion of troops for me, and I will cover you."

The main force had already retreated to the north, but Zhao Chuanxin asked the regiment commander to go south. The regiment commander asked with a stern face: "Mr. Zhao, the south has been occupied by the Greeks. If we retreat to the south, won't we just run into their trap?"

Zhao Chuanxin frowned: "If you want to survive and protect the remaining troops, then you have to listen to me. Go south for 4 kilometers and walk north along the mountain. Someone will pick you up."

"Who will pick us up?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Out of trust in Zhao Chuanxin's ability to lead a team, the team leader led his men to retreat.

The 1500 soldiers who stayed behind waited anxiously for Zhao Chuanxin's orders.

Zhao Chuanxin took out two bamboo poles wrapped with a piece of white cloth from the secret realm. He wrote on the spot in Greek: Request for negotiation.

Then have someone lift it up from the trench.

The battalion commander who stayed behind to accompany Zhao Chuanxin had a buzzing feeling in his head: Is he going to surrender and become a prisoner?

It’s not bad, at least I don’t have to die now.

Half of the Greek column went to pursue Kliment Boyaziev's defeated troops, and the remaining half prepared to encircle and annihilate the Bulgarian soldiers on the 123rd line of defense.

They were impressed by the unit.

According to historical records, the Greek side suffered more than 5600 casualties in this battle.

But because of Zhao Chuanxin's presence, their casualties were close to 10,000, or perhaps even more...

They held up a white cloth with the word "negotiation" written on it. Soon a young Greek officer rode up to them and asked, "What do you want to discuss?"

Zhao Chuanxin asked the soldiers who knew Greek to come forward and talk: "Our leader said that his name is Zhao Chuanxin, you can ask him about it. If you let us go, we will say goodbye forever. If you insist on your own way and want to wipe out this 1,500-man team, you will have to pay at least three times the price!"

There are thousands of troops on the opposite side, but we only have 1,500 people.

So the soldier's legs were shaking, fearing that the enemy would kill him directly and then launch an attack.

Fortunately, the Greek officer looked at him deeply and turned back.

The soldiers returned.

The battalion commander asked Zhao Chuanxin anxiously, "Mr. Zhao, will they agree?"

"Hmm... hard to say." Zhao Chuanxin couldn't help but light another cigarette: "Anyway, you should be prepared to die in battle."

Everyone: "..."

Can't you just tell us a lie to comfort us?

Zhao Chuanxin simply took out all the cigarettes in stock and distributed them to the people around him.

There were more than 1200 cigarettes distributed among people, and some people shared one cigarette among two people.

This directly emptied Zhao Chuanxin's inventory.

He hoped the Greeks would not be ungrateful, or he would only have two cigars left to smoke.

Without firing a single shot, a cloud of smoke rose from the trench...

After a long while, the Greek officer came back and said, "Mr. Zhao, our commander wants to see you. If you agree, we will let you go."

Everyone became excited upon hearing this and turned their eyes to Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin used the megaphone to reply: "Deal."

battalion commander:"?"

Is this enough?

One man's reputation saved more than a thousand lives.

So cool!
Zhao Chuanxin hung a copper eye around the dazed battalion commander's neck: "Please don't touch this, I'll be back in a moment."

If he moves, Zhao Chuanxin might not come back, haha.

As he spoke, Zhao Chuanxin teleported Daniel Zhivkov's Cavalry Battalion on the spot.

The cavalry battalion received the news of retreat, but did not join the main force. It waited in confusion for follow-up orders because that was what Zhao Chuanxin had instructed.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly appeared in front of him. Daniel Zhivkov, who was originally dissatisfied with Zhao Chuanxin, became excited at this time: "Finally he is here."

Zhao Chuanxin saw that they were making a fire and cooking, and they were much more leisurely than the soldiers on the front line.

"Hurry up and eat. After dinner, lead your men to walk southeast along the mountain. You will encounter about two regiments of soldiers. Help them scout and retreat to Petrich. Leave a company behind to welcome the next battalion of soldiers and take them to Petrich as well."

Daniel Zhivkov took the order and took action.

Zhao Chuanxin took his Bronze Eye away and teleported it back to the trench.

The battalion commander felt relieved, for he was afraid that Zhao Chuanxin would never come back.

Zhao Chuanxin walked slowly along the trench, looking at the remaining soldiers, and said in an excited tone: "After this battle, you have walked on the line of death, and you can be regarded as one of the elite troops of Bulgaria. But I, Zhao Chuanxin, have promised in advance that I will be responsible for you to the end. Now that the negotiations with Greece have been successful, I will give you a way out. Everyone, see you again if we are lucky!"

The numb faces of the crowd changed.

They became increasingly excited, their eyes turning red.

It is said that if you have fought together on the battlefield, you will be considered a friend for life.

Zhao Chuanxin jumped out of the trench and landed more than ten meters above the ground. The Greek officer opposite him looked in disbelief.

At first he was puzzled as to why Constantine I would use the lives of these soldiers in exchange for a meeting with Zhao Chuanxin.

Now he understands.

Zhao Chuanxin dodged and stood in front of the Greek officer the next moment: "Lead the way."

In the trenches behind, Bulgarian soldiers shouted in unison: "Zhao Chuanxin, Zhao Chuanxin, Zhao Chuanxin..."

It seemed as if it was seeing him off, and also as if it was expressing its joy of having survived a desperate situation.

It was just that Zhao Chuanxin's name was distorted, and Zhao Chuanxin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

At this moment, Zhao Chuanxin's name shone brightly on the European battlefield!
The Greeks pursued the Bulgarian army but gained little. As the Bulgarians were on the defending side, they had more energy when they were running. The exhausted Greeks failed to catch up, and Kliment Boyaziev cut off their connection with each other.

The Greeks did not dare to continue the pursuit, fearing that Bulgaria would strike back and make it impossible for them to take care of both ends.

Besides, they didn't have the energy to chase.

Soon, Kliment Boyaziev received a radio message and learned that the soldiers on the 123rd defense line had successfully escaped with shockingly low casualties, which was a miracle!

"Zhao Chuanxin is truly a military genius!"

He made a decision and proposed to Nikolai Ivanov, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Macedonia battlefield, to pay more money to hire Zhao Chuanxin to help Bulgaria...
