Greece’s Roman Road

Chapter 128: patrol

After being stunned for a while, Feillard immediately asked the messengers to notify the officers at all levels, command the soldiers, and clear the remaining enemies around.

After the shelling, the Marines moved much more smoothly and encountered little effective resistance.

The fierce shelling completely destroyed the enemy's will to fight.

Thirty minutes later, the staff at all levels gathered information about the battlefield.

In the mountains and forests around Mudros Bay, a total of nearly 200 casualties of the enemy were found, of which more than 50 were injured.

According to the reaction of the captured wounded soldiers, after the shelling began, the enemy commander quickly issued an order to evacuate the troops.

It was just the violent explosion that had cut off the effective communication between the troops scattered all over the place. Seeing that nothing could be done, he led a small army of less than 100 people to evacuate the battlefield and headed for the northern foot of the mountain.

Generally speaking, if a unit suffers more than 30% casualties, it is considered a loss of combat effectiveness.

This 300-strong Ottoman island garrison lost two-thirds directly.

Hearing that the soldiers reported that the remnants had entered the forest, Federa sighed. It would take a lot of effort to completely resolve this army.

According to the navy's next strategic deployment, Mudros Bay on Limous Island will be a temporary berthing port for the rapid response fleet for the next period of time.

These remnants are a hidden danger.

In case the enemy finds a loophole and takes advantage of the dark night, like a frogman army, sneak attack the warships moored in Mudros Bay, and lose these expensive weapons of war, it will be a big disaster.

In his heart, he could not help but sigh at the mental toughness of the enemy commander, who still insisted on fighting and did not surrender even when there was no hope.

In order to eliminate the remaining enemies, Ferrad directed all the soldiers of the Marine Corps to land, divide them into several groups, and enter the mountains and forests on the island to encircle and suppress the remaining enemies.

Feillard personally led a team of 300 people, climbed over the ridge in front, looked down from above, and saw a small village on the mountainside at the northern foot of the mountain.

In the shadows of the trees, a dozen low-rise houses faintly appeared, and there were people walking around in the village.

The most conspicuous building is a small church with a towering white cross on the roof.

Obviously, this is a village inhabited by Greeks.

Because they were not familiar with the terrain of the island, the other search troops searched around like flies, and they didn't know when they would be able to clear this group of mouse-like enemies.

Feillard thought about asking the Greeks in the village about the terrain of the island, so he led the troops to the village.

The sudden appearance of hundreds of soldiers naturally attracted the attention of the villagers, who welcomed them out of the village in a panic.

A young boy dressed in linen caught Feillard's attention.

The little boy had black curly hair, and his dark eyes stared at the heavily armed soldiers without blinking.

Feillard joked, "What are you looking at, kid?"

"Look at you Greeks!" The boy raised his head and replied without any fear.

The boy's answer surprised Ferrard for a moment, and asked subconsciously, "We are Greeks, who are you?"

"We are Romans," the little boy replied quickly.

"Romulus, what nonsense are you talking about!" The sudden screeching interrupted Feillard, who was in a trance.

A man in a red silk robe stepped forward. The cross on the robe indicated his identity.

"I'm sorry, sir, this child was deceived by the Ottomans. I'm a priest in the village church, Rofus," the man said apologetically to Feillard.

Ferrard, who had come to his senses, said, "Father Louvres, hello."

"A few days ago, more than a dozen soldiers came to the village to promote these things to the villagers, what Romans, Greeks, etc." Loufus explained that he seemed worried that Romulus' words would anger the soldiers.

Now Greece is at war with the Ottoman Empire, and there are a large number of Greeks living in the Ottomans.

Conservative estimates put the number of Greeks in the Ottoman territory at no less than 2 million.

In order to win over these people, the authorities proclaimed them as Romans, intending to cut off their emotional ties with the Greeks and separate them from their compatriots living in Greece.

Kontoriotis was very happy to learn that the Marine Corps had successfully gained control of Mudros Bay, and immediately informed the Greek General Staff of the successful capture of Limous Island.

A response was quickly received, and the General Staff sent a radio, requesting the fleet to annihilate or severely damage the Ottoman Navy as soon as possible, and effectively block the shipping along the Thracian coastal route.

In the following days, due to the delay in the appearance of the Ottoman fleet, the Greek marines, with the cooperation of the fleet, successively occupied Imbros Island, Thassos Island, Agios Everest in the Aegean Sea. Strath Island and other islands.

The Greeks continued to occupy the islands in the Aegean Sea, and the Ottomans seemed to be completely indifferent to the loss of these islands.

In the flagship conning tower of the Trikupis

"The main force of the Ottoman navy shows no sign of leaving the Dardanelles at all. Is there any way to lure them to the Aegean Sea?" Aprus, the fleet staff officer, said while looking at the chart on the boat.

"If they can't hold on, we don't have a very good solution. The islands in the Aegean Sea, according to the current state of the Ottoman Empire, seem to be really planning to give up," Cantoriotis replied helplessly.

Originally thought that the naval strength of Greece and the Ottoman Empire is similar~www.wuxiahere.com~ There will be a fierce naval battle in the Aegean Sea to determine the true master of the Aegean Sea.

Unexpectedly, the Ottoman navy did not intend to fight at all.

The accompanying destroyers, for several days, ventured to the Dardanelles for reconnaissance, but the Ottoman Navy turned a blind eye.

"If that's the case, then send destroyers to completely block the offshore shipping from the coast of Thrace in the Dardanelles."

 

On October 26, at 6:00 in the morning, in the coastal area of ​​Thrace, 120 nautical miles northwest of Limous Island, a formation of two destroyers was quietly advancing in the morning fog on the sea.

As the commander of this small fleet, Captain Chris stood on the bridge of the temporary flagship Xianlin, feeling very excited.

The mission of this small fleet is to search for imperial ships along the Ottoman coast and completely block the Ottoman Empire's offshore shipping.

"Ah... Morning patrols are really annoying," Sergeant Herum complained while dozing off at the observation post of the Xianlin destroyer.

From three o'clock in the morning, when the human body was the most sleepy, Herum had been on this towering lookout post for three hours.

The fleet was on a patrol mission, and the unchanging scenery on the sea made Herum very bored.
