Romanian Eagle

Chapter 456 Cavalry Battle Tanks (End)

"Boom, boom, boom"

The light artillery blasted violently towards the cavalry division's position, and the artillery on the position also launched a counterattack.

The artillery of the two sides is much less than that of the Demblin-Parchev line, but the lethality can be not small. Here Romania destroyed a Soviet Russian artillery, causing a lot of casualties among the soldiers around, while the Soviet Russian artillery over there killed a Romanian artillery, allowing the sound of looting explosions to spread over the artillery positions.

When the artillery on both sides aimed at the opponent, the dismounted Soviet soldiers rushed to the position with their weapons. They were about to seize Romanian positions and open the door to victory.

"Machine Gun Fire"

The Romanian soldiers did not get close to the Russian soldiers this time, and when they were still five or six hundred meters away, the defensive machine guns fired at these soldiers.

The attacking Soviet Russian soldiers were also unequivocal. They took out their cart machine guns and opened fire on the positions. This setup of mounting the machine gun on the cart was originally used by the Cossacks, in order to facilitate the movement of the cavalry. The Soviet Russian cavalry also learned this trick, and also developed a tactic of large carts with machine guns to cover the soldiers' attack.

First of all, you need a sturdy cart, and set up an iron plate on it as a shelter. Then the machine gun is set up on it, and it is pushed forward by manpower or charged force as a cover fire. One advantage of this design is that there is no need to follow the attacking troops with machine guns, and not only need to be re-erected but also need to find cover. This cart machine gun comes with a bunker, and this bunker has been specially reinforced.

However, there are also disadvantages, that is, the large area is easy to be called by the opponent's artillery, and it is not suitable for combat with complex terrain. Obviously the current battle, it can be said that the terrain is very suitable for such a large car machine gun.

The appearance of this kind of large truck machine guns has attracted some Romanian shelling, and many large trucks have been named. In the face of this loss, Budyonny was not angry but happy. This shows that the Romanian position has no extra artillery, so what are you waiting for if you don't increase the investment of troops at this time. Following his order, another two regiments of Soviet Russian soldiers attacked the position with weapons.

In the face of the Soviet Union's increase in troops, the pressure on the front-line positions increased immediately.

And Lieutenant General Weidesiqi, who was watching all this, did not increase his troops. He had to let Soviet Russia see the hope of victory in order to gain greater victory for the arrival of the Armored Brigade.

However, this suffered the Romanian soldiers on the front line. They fought back against their opponents with difficulty under the attack of several times the number of Soviet Russian soldiers.

Soldiers on both sides fell every moment, and it was time to test the soldiers on the front line.

"You guys go to the left row for support."

A Romanian officer loudly gave orders to several soldiers.

"We're going right now."

The soldiers who had just fired bullets at the enemy immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed to the left with their waists down.

"First platoon leader, we're here to reinforce you."

The soldiers who rushed to the left flank said loudly to a non-commissioned officer with the rank of sergeant.

The leader of the platoon, who was shooting at the enemy with guns, told them without looking back, "Find your own position to shoot."

Just as he was talking, a soldier beside him collapsed into the field with his neck covered. And the platoon leader immediately leaned down and looked over, the soldiers couldn't hold it at all and the blood was gushing out. The platoon leader took out the gauze and hurried him to hold it down, and then continued to use his hands full of blood from his comrades to pick up weapons and shoot at the attacking enemy.

He knew the soldier's name, and he knew how many people there were in his family. But now he is just a wounded soldier. Whether he can survive and wait for the arrival of the medics can only depend on his luck. No crying, no sad expressions and no tears, this is war, just so ruthless.

Scenes like this happen all the time. Every soldier is not only fighting for the country, but also for his own survival. In the hands of Eder or Preshan, they are one of the numbers on the report, just like Lenin and others read the Soviet-Russian casualty report.

Although the soldiers on the position were fighting fiercely, the Soviet Russian soldiers still prevailed by virtue of their superiority in numbers and firepower. They slowly but firmly attacked the Romanian position. After a distance of almost 100 meters, the Soviet Russian soldiers jumped up and charged the position with the slogan of 'Ulla'. The Romanian soldiers relying on the terrain immediately mounted their bayonets and welcomed the next hand-to-hand battle.

After seeing his soldiers attack the position, Budyonny immediately sent a third wave of reinforcements.

In the face of the fierce attack of the Soviet Union, Lieutenant General Weide Siqi arranged a second-line position on the one hand, and prayed in his heart on the one hand, Hoffman should come earlier, or he would suffer a great loss.

And Hoffman, who was remembered by Lieutenant General Wideschi, was actually near the battlefield, and even the sound of guns on the battlefield could be heard. But Hoffman didn't plan to rush straight ahead like this. Instead, he planned to bypass the battlefield and attack the enemy from behind.

To this end, he also found Antonescu to discuss his idea, and Antonescu is also a daring guy. After hearing about the best possible results, he did not care about the safety of his immediate superior, Lieutenant General Wideschi, and instead fully supported Hoffman's plan.

So when Lieutenant General Wideschi was struggling to resist the Budyonny offensive, the two were rushing back around the battlefield with reinforcements. Among them, Antonescu's cavalry was responsible for driving away the nearby Soviet-Russian outposts.

Soon the news that a Romanian cavalry was circling behind them reached Budyonier. When he learned from the messenger that this was a cavalry force of less than 2,000, he thought it was Budyonny, who was about to fight to the death by Lieutenant General Widerschi, and immediately called Timoshenge. (This future Soviet Russian marshal is serving as a cavalry division commander)

"You take your troops to kill these Romanian cavalry."

"As ordered, Comrade Commander."

Facing Budyonny's order, Timoshenko took the troops on the road immediately after receiving it.

In order to prevent accidents, Budyonny not only asked Timoshenko to bring his own cavalry division but also transferred another cavalry regiment, so that he would face nearly 8,000 cavalry against about 2,000 Romanian cavalry. Even a small discrepancy in the reconnaissance figures is enough to defeat the enemy.

So Timoshenko was full of confidence in defeating this Romanian cavalry.

After Budyonny ordered Timoshenko, he immediately increased the attack on the defending Romanian cavalry division. This time, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he put 20,000 troops into the attack on the enemy's second-line positions. Because he always felt that if the fighting time dragged on, it was estimated that reinforcements from the opponent would arrive. So shortly after the first-line position was captured, the battle started again. This time, Budyonny wanted to defeat his opponent in the first battle without giving him any chance.

As for the cavalry commanded by Timoshenko, they soon found the Romanian cavalry that was detouring. Seeing that his opponent was only 2,000 cavalry, Timoshenko immediately commanded his troops to entangle his opponent, and nearly 8,000 Soviet-Russian cavalry rushed towards the opponent he discovered. In the face of the large-scale Soviet Russian cavalry, Antonescu was not ambiguous, and immediately turned his horse and led his cavalry to retreat quickly.

Seeing that the opponent wanted to run, how could Brother Timoshen let them wish, and immediately ordered to follow the opponent. The cavalry from both sides chased and fled along the field, which was spectacular.

After running for nearly three kilometers, a mound appeared, and Antonescu immediately ran towards the mound.

Seeing the opponent rushing towards the mound, Timoshen, who was still a little strange, was about to order to stop and take a look, when he heard gunshots coming from all sides. His own cavalry fell in pieces, causing Timoshenge to be shocked. At this time, he could only order: "Rush over, rush over quickly."

As a qualified cavalry general, Timoshenko had no problem dealing with it. The cavalry is no better than the infantry, and the cavalry that is rushing up cannot stop just like that. Therefore, the response of the cavalry that has already rushed to the attack is to speed up and pass. If they stop, they will be knocked down by the cavalry behind them, which will cause more confusion.

Following Timoshenko's orders, the cavalry bravely charged forward. After they plan to rush over, they will hit these sneak attack guys hard.

At this moment, the sound of rumbling came from all around, and these firepower points began to move.

"Armored vehicles, tanks?"

Looking at the tracked vehicles that were still camouflaged, these two words flashed in Timoshenko's mind.

No matter what kind it was, at this moment, Brother Timoshen knew that he had been fooled. At this time, he had an idea, he must rush back to report to the commander, this is the enemy's trap.

However, with more than 80 tanks in operation, it is difficult to say whether they can be given a chance. Under the command of Hoffman, these monster guns fired in unison, constantly reaping the lives of the Soviet Russian cavalry. In the face of these monsters with fire, many frightened cavalry forcibly turned their horses. The result of this was very tragic. They were knocked off their horses by the cavalry behind them, and they were trampled by the cavalry behind them before they could even scream.

Timoshenge's eyes were red with grief and anger, watching his subordinates continue to fall under the attack of the enemy's tanks. Many of them followed him and made great achievements against the white bandit army, and died in this unknown place.

However, since ancient times, there has been no shortage of bloody men in the army, and some people watched their comrades being knocked down. With red eyes, they pulled out grenades and rushed to these monsters. They planned to use their own lives to drag these monsters that slaughtered their comrades.

Under the infection of these warriors, many cavalrymen also rushed towards these tank monsters. And the actions of these people are objectively very useful. Many tanks see the cavalry rushing towards them, and they point their guns at these dead soldiers.

A group of Soviet Russian dead fell under the gun, but there were still people who continued to charge fearlessly. Finally, someone broke through the blockade and threw the tangled grenades at the tanks, and a violent explosion blew on the tanks.

"it is good."

Many Soviet Russian cavalrymen saw this scene and applauded loudly for their comrades. However, when the smoke cleared, the attacked tanks were unscathed, which made many cavalry feel discouraged.

At this time, an officer shouted loudly: "Don't throw it around, blow the tracks."

Then another breakthrough cavalry threw bundles of grenades at the track.

"boom"

After a blast, the tank could only spin in place.

After seeing that the attack was effective, many cavalrymen broke through the blockade and threw grenades on the tracks, damaging the tracks of several tanks one after another. In the face of the tanks spinning in place, many cavalrymen climbed on these tanks and threw grenades into the observation holes and hatches, completely scrapping these monsters that killed their comrades.

But such a move did nothing but boost the morale of the cavalry on the brink of collapse.

After seeing the encounters with the teammates, many tanks began to move closer to each other, and the infantry also began to pay attention to these suicide cavalry. As a result, many cavalry soldiers who were determined to die failed to break through the fire blockade, and fell in a pool of blood with their beloved warhorses.

At the same time, Antonescu also returned to the battlefield with his cavalry troops.

Under the pressure of tanks and cavalry, nearly 5,000 cavalrymen led by Timoshenko could not see the sun tomorrow.

Faced with this situation, Timoshenko shouted that he wanted to rush to the tank and die with the other side. However, under the desperate interception of his subordinates, he could only retreat to the rear.

And Hoffman and Antonescu, who defeated Timoshenko's cavalry unit, rushed to the battlefield non-stop. At this time, they have been exposed, and they need to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible.

"What did you say, the cavalry of the commander of Timoshenko was defeated by the enemy tanks."

When Budyonny got the news, his hands and feet went cold, and then he grabbed the collar of the cavalry who reported the news and shouted angrily, "What you said can't be true, you are lying to me."

The cavalry in blood was shaky when he was caught by Budyonni. He said in a voice that was about to cry: "Commander, what I said is true. When we were chasing the enemy cavalry, we were ambushed by enemy tanks, and our comrades suffered a massacre. We There's nothing I can do about those monsters. My company commander is dead, my platoon leader is dead, and my squad leader is dead. I dragged it to the back, and when I saw something was wrong, I quickly ran back to report."

After hearing his explanation, Budyonny continued to roar, "I'm going to kill you, a deserter, you abandoned your comrade-in-arms."

And the political commissar Voroshilov on the side quickly stopped him and said: "Commander is not the time to worry about this, we need to organize the evacuation immediately."

He was talking and suddenly heard a roaring sound, and then his face changed.

And Budyonny's face changed greatly at this time.

The two hurried out of the tent of the temporary command headquarters and saw enemy tanks and cavalry appearing on the outside of the battlefield.

"Immediately order the troops to evacuate."

Voroshilov yelled at Budyonny eagerly. Budyonny, who was stunned by this scene, said with a wry smile, "It's too late."

Sure enough, seeing the appearance of their own reinforcements, the Romanian soldiers who were defending the position rushed out of the position and entangled with the Soviet Russian soldiers whose morale had dropped. Now the soldiers on the front line are completely unable to withdraw, and a collapse is just around the corner.

At this time Voroshilov suddenly ordered the guards. "Take the commander away immediately, we will evacuate here immediately."

And Budyonny, who was caught by two guards, reacted at this time. He struggled and yelled, "I can't go. My soldiers are still fighting the enemy. I can't leave them behind. Let me go."

Facing the guard's questioning eyes, Voroshilov immediately shouted: "Execute the order."

Then two strong guards forced Budyonni to leave. And Voroshilov immediately gave the order. "Order the troops to leave immediately."

In his mind, the troops on the front line can only resign themselves to fate, they can run as much as they can. Everything depends on providence.

With the withdrawal of Budyonny, Voroshilov and others, the situation of the First Cavalry Army collapsed. Almost everyone was running to the rear, and what made them uncomfortable was that they were attacking on foot, and their horses were all in the rear, and Hoffman took his armored brigade across a mountain between them and the horses.

In the face of the enemy's tank monsters spraying fire, these soldiers have absolutely no way. They organized several attacks and were beaten back. Without warhorses, they were destined to be prisoners of Romania.

And Antonescu took their cavalry units and was responsible for chasing the remaining Soviet troops that escaped. The number of these troops, who were far ahead of him, was terrifying, and seeing his pursuit, they could only go forward desperately. And Antonescu followed the fleeing cavalry all the way to Fevodava. Considering that my troops are not afraid of the enemy's reaction, they stopped at Fewo Dawa.

In the end, the largest cavalry battle between Soviet Russia and Romania ended in Romania's victory. In this battle, Romania lost 6,247 people (3,154 killed and 3,093 injured) and 17 tanks (broken down and could not be repaired), and took 20,000 annihilations (including 14,200 prisoners). win.

And this great victory also marked the annihilation of the last mobile unit on the Soviet-Russian battlefield. In the current Polish battlefield, the role of cavalry is simply irreplaceable.

And with the fiasco of the first cavalry group, the Demblin-Parchev line could no longer hold on. On the 19th, the 14th Army of the Parchev line was the first to be broken through. Then in the afternoon, when the 11th Army learned that Parchev had been breached, it could only retreat to the rear, but Lieutenant General Mandiv, who seized the opportunity, attacked violently and turned into a rout.

The Soviet-Russian army on the southern front had been defeated by Romania, and they could only retreat along the road to Belarus. Admiral Fereit commanded the Romanian army to pursue them, and from time to time, good news of the annihilation of the Soviet-Russian army came to him. hands.

The first phase of Romania's mission has been completed, and his next goal is Brest, a major transportation city.
