Xu Rui then thought that the combat effectiveness of the Romanians should be higher than that of the Italians, and on par with Spain. The difficulty lies in the Finnish army to the west. Xu Rui has fought against the Finnish army, and he knows that their combat effectiveness is very strong, not as good as that of Germany.
How different people are.
However, there are only tens of thousands of troops in Finland, and no more than 10,000 can come to the Soviet Union. If they are divided into three battlefields, the Finnish army in Smolensk is only a regiment at most.
However, the combat effectiveness of this regiment should be very strong, so Xu Rui was not prepared to touch them. He decided to let Kosygin, who had the strongest combat effectiveness, lead a battalion to sit in the center to defend the Finnish army in the west. At the same time, Xu Rui
Leading all the rest of the troops, Yegor's regiment has been reduced from more than 2,000 to less than 1,000. However, Xu Rui incorporated more than 1,000 Soviet prisoners of war into his army. As a result, Yegor
There are more than 2,000 people in our regiment, all following Xu Rui.
Paul, Moloff's troops and Diana's female military battalion also followed him.
In addition to more than 1,000 Soviet prisoners of war who supplemented the Yegor regiment, more than 2,000 other Soviet prisoners of war were organized into a regiment, headed by Colonel Safin, the highest-ranking Soviet prisoner of war.
As a result, the number of troops operating with Xu Rui reached more than 5,000.
Leng Tiefeng asked: "Old Xu, the total number of troops from all countries outside is at least 50,000 or 60,000, and we only have 5,000. How do you plan to fight this battle?"
Xu Rui said: "Although these German servants are large in number, they do not have the courage to fight. They only know how to stand firm and do not know how to support each other. Because of this, we destroyed the Italian and Spanish armies, and the remaining armies were not enough."
Therefore, I plan to adopt an axis-shaped attack method."
"Axis attack?" Leng Tiefeng frowned.
Xu Rui said: "Veteran, have you ever seen a clock?"
"I've seen it before," Leng Tiefeng said.
Xu Rui said: "If Kosygin's battalion is the pivot point, the rest of the troops are the pointers. Then we will continue to advance from south to east, and then north. After we have wiped out the Romanian army in the east and the Russian People's Liberation Army in the north, we will finally
Deal with the Finnish army in the west, so that we can defeat them one by one and level the entire Smolensk."
"This is a good idea. In this way, although our troops are small, we can only face part of the enemy at the same time, and the enemy's advantage in strength cannot be used."
Xu Rui said: "Yes, but this method of warfare has a prerequisite, that is, we must have strong assault capabilities and be able to break through the enemy's defense line. Only in this way can we pursue and fight fiercely until all the enemies are defeated."
Eliminate them, and then concentrate all your efforts on the Finnish forces."
"Lao Xu, how confident are you?" Leng Tiefeng asked.
Xu Rui said: "Originally, this plan was impossible to implement, but after getting veterans like Safin to join, I am 70% sure that it can succeed."
Safin and his veterans are all former standing army soldiers of the Soviet Union. They have strong combat effectiveness, much stronger than the newly formed supplementary forces of the Soviet Union. Xu Rui is confident in using these Soviet veterans to deal with the servant army.
Xu Rui has always believed that soldiers should be elite rather than numerous. A ragtag army without morale, no matter how large the number is, will only add more heads to the opponent. In a war, the decisive factor is always a small number of veterans.
Fortunately, there are many such veterans in Xu Rui's troops, including Kosygin, Paul, Morov, and Safin's troops, all of whom have extremely strong combat effectiveness. They are Xu Rui's confidence.
At that moment, Xu Rui led the troops to launch a front-line attack and first launched an attack on the Romanian army guarding the eastern part of Smolensk.
Romania sided with Germany in World War I. Due to the stupidity of those in power, Romania was on the wrong side, so its national interests were greatly damaged after World War I.
After the start of World War II, Romania again sided with Germany and became a slave state of Germany. It sent many troops to the Soviet Union. In the direction of Moscow, there were nearly 20,000 troops to form a reinforced division.
Led by General Abraham.
General Abraham is a veteran of the Romanian army. In World War I, he was a major and led a battalion to capture a British division in the first battle. From then on, he became famous and became a Romanian national hero.
After World War I, Abraham was demobilized and returned to his field. He idled at home for a period of time. He was later reactivated and became a general step by step. After Germany invaded the Soviet Union, Romania followed Germany into the Soviet Union. Abraham led a reinforced division of nearly 20,000 people.
, following the actions of German Army Group Center and stationed in Smolensk.
Although he was a national hero in the past, Abraham no longer had the high-spiritedness of his youth and was a little depressed. He was repulsive about coming to the Soviet Union. He believed that there was no hope for Romania to follow Germany in attacking the Soviet Union, and it would definitely bring disaster.
Romania brought disastrous consequences. However, as a soldier, he had to obey the orders of his superiors, which often made him fall into inner conflicts.
After the German offensive was blocked in Moscow, Abraham felt that the situation of the war had changed inadvertently. If the war continued like this, not only would the Germans be finished, but Romania would also be finished.
However, Abraham was a soldier, and it was his bounden duty to obey orders. Even if he knew that there was a dead end ahead, he could only go on.
At this time, Abraham had received the news of the defeat of the Italians and the Spanish. Abraham was shocked. Italy had 30,000 troops, and the Spanish division was more powerful than the Italian army. How could they all fail overnight?
At this time, a piece of news that shocked Abraham even more came: the German army guarding the central area was completely wiped out.
Abraham felt his head buzzing. The German Army was the backbone of the entire Smolensk defense system. If they were eliminated, it would mean that the entire Smolensk was in danger of being occupied.
"Immediately order everyone to enter combat positions and prepare to fight!" Abraham said.
"General, can we hold on?" an officer asked.
Abraham remained silent for a long time. The Soviet offensive was so fierce that he really had no confidence in resisting the Soviet attack. Now, he could only do his best and obey fate.
"Ula!"
Xu Rui's troops began to sweep away the German troops in a clockwise direction. Five thousand Soviet soldiers gave out an overwhelming roar. Paul pushed out several Italian cannons captured from the Italians and aimed them at the Romanian military camp.
With a fierce bang, he let out all the sullenness he had been holding in his heart.
After the shelling, the Soviet army launched a charge towards the Romanian military camp. At this time, the Romanian army was in great chaos. Abraham had to personally come to the front line to take command and ordered the troops to guard and defend to the death.
In the darkness, Safin looked at the Romanian army position in the distance with his binoculars, frowning.
One day ago, Safin was just a prisoner of war of the Germans, and now he has become the leader of the Red Army. Safin was in a very excited mood at this time, thinking about proving himself on the battlefield.
The firepower of the Romanian army was very fierce. Safin had people charge several times, but the results were all in vain. However, Safin was not discouraged. He found an imagination that the Romanians only knew how to defend and did not know how to attack. In this way,
, you can deploy it calmly.
Safin fought very bravely. Seeing the strong resistance of the Romanian army, he selected 200 officers and non-commissioned officers to form an officer death squad, led by himself, and prepared to launch a desperate attack on the Romanian army positions.
Safin looked at the two hundred officers and non-commissioned officers behind him, and felt a little proud. The entire death squad was equipped with German MP40 submachine guns, and each person brought two grenades. Safin said: "Comrades, we finally
When we can fight for our country again, let the blood of the enemy wash away the humiliation we suffered in the prison camp. Long live the Soviet Union!"
"Ula!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
"For victory, move forward!" Safin jumped out and charged towards the Romanian army position like a ferocious beast.
"go ahead!"
Two hundred warriors followed Safin and charged towards the Romanian army position, constantly approaching.
"Throw grenades!" Safin yelled. Although these Soviet soldiers were a little weak after living in a prisoner of war camp, they could still throw grenades thirty meters. Then, hundreds of grenades fell into the German formation.
Facing the desperate charge of Safin and two hundred warriors like beasts, the Romanian army finally collapsed, and the soldiers on the front line dropped their weapons and ran away holding their heads.
"Go back! Go back to me!"
Abraham shouted and shot several retreating soldiers with his own hands, but this had no effect. Pursued by the Soviets, the Romanian army continued to retreat like a tide.
In the distance, the Soviet pursuers could be seen. Abraham knew that this time, he was really defeated. Although he had expected it, he did not expect that this day would come so early. Abraham did not want to become a prisoner of the Soviets, so,
He raised the pistol, pointed it at his temple and pulled the trigger.
"Snapped!"
As a crisp gunshot rang out, Abraham fell to the ground, and his blood soaked the white snow on the ground...
When he heard that Safin led the troops to defeat the resistance of the Romanians and successfully advance forward, Xu Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally defeated the Romanians. Next, it was time to talk about the Russian Liberation Army.
This Russian Liberation Army was led by Vlasov, the biggest traitor of the Soviet Union. Xu Rui felt sad when he thought that Vlasov was fighting side by side with him a few days ago, but now he has become his opponent.
Vlasov is definitely a military talent, but it is a pity that he is not strong-willed and has become a weakling. He surrendered to the Germans. In any case, he must pay the price for his actions...
