The Romanian army always cooperated with the German army in fighting. The German army had the right to mobilize the Romanian army, but the Romanian army also had a certain degree of autonomy.
Especially the Romanian troops who have retreated to the rear for rest and supplies will give priority to obeying the orders of their marshal Antonescu.
As for the Romanian 6th Infantry Division, they obeyed the orders of their superiors, Commander Dumitrescu of the Third Army.
Asking the Romanian army to help clear out the guerrillas? Dumitrescu should have dismissed this kind of thing, but considering that this was actually a request from the local German garrison, he was keenly aware that this matter was not a demonstration of Romania's
A moment of military prestige?
Anyway, the 6th Infantry Division has rested enough, and a large number of wounded have recovered well. They can return to the army. In this way, this infantry division can continue to fight as the main force! Considering that the Soviet front in Donbas is very strong, Dumitres
Kudos no longer plans to send this infantry division to the east. They will fight in Crimea with their friendly forces in the same group army!
So before entering Crimea, let the 6th Division score some more results, firstly to gain some glory, and secondly to warm up! Dumitrescu paid great attention to the inquiries of his subordinates. He had just fallen asleep at the time but was
After hearing the news, his whole body was shaken up. He issued an order that the 6th Division must reinforce the German 634th Division.
It is also Dumitrescu's decision that the wheel of history has slightly deviated from the track.
If Yang Mingzhi did not exist, history would develop like this.
Romania's Third Army will participate in the campaign to attack the Caucasus. They cooperated with Manstein in fighting and were highly praised by the German general. When the German army advanced to the Caucasus Mountains, the Romanian army moved northward to attack
Don River Basin.
In Operation Uranus launched by the Soviet army, the 6th Infantry Division of the Romanian Third Army suffered heavy casualties. They were subsequently defeated in Operation Little Saturn launched by the Soviet army. At this time, it was already the end of the Battle of Stalingrad...
…
The Romanian army lost twenty divisions in one breath. At this point, Romania's strength in invading the Soviet Union was severely weakened. Until the country switched sides and stood on the anti-fascist front, their military strength in the Soviet Union never recovered.
However, in this plane, the breeze fanned by a small butterfly cannot change the macro situation, but it can create a key impact locally.
Let’s talk about the Romanian Army’s 6th Division. The division commander dispatched a limited regiment to Snovyanka. They assembled all the trucks in the team, injected all the gasoline they could control into the fuel tanks, formed a motorized regiment, and headed towards the goal.
Other troops moved on foot with their baggage carriages.
At midnight on May 6, Miroshniko took action!
He personally led an army with a total strength of 5,400 men, fought out of the forest, and headed straight for Gorodnia!
The 17th Guerrilla Brigade encountered little resistance, and at a negligible cost, the army entered the city.
However, after entering the city, the German resistance suddenly increased!
There are currently no less than 20,000 civilians living in the city of Gorodniya, and German troops are mixed in the residential areas.
When the guerrilla brigade fighters searched the city, they found a large number of civilians.
These poor, hungry and ragged guerrilla fighters did not immediately defeat the enemy. Many of them searched for clothes, shoes, and bread in the houses! What's more, they even threw their guns aside and forcibly had sex with the women in the houses.
relation.
There were only a few soldiers who turned into bandits, but the Soviet army was still forced to slow down the offensive pace due to the obstruction of the German army.
Gorodnia was in flames, and gunfire was heard one after another. The German commander immediately reported the enemy situation to their division commander Hendrickson. Suddenly, the city of Chernihiv exploded! Alarms blared loudly!
The German troops and police regiments in the city, as well as the city's security police, were all mobilized.
Because Gorodnia was too close to Chernihiv, Hendrickson did not dare to neglect, so that night he asked for help from his compatriots in neighboring troops and his superior's army group.
The German army responded quickly. There were two German divisions stationed east of the 634th Division. When they learned that a large number of guerrillas were attacking Gorodnia and the German army was about to fall, no matter how much the officers despised the Soviet guerrillas, they still
We must ensure that the city is not lost! No enemy is allowed to harass Chernihiv!
Two infantry regiments organized by the German army urgently advanced towards Chernigov. The German army's reinforcement order was also given to the Romanian army.
This time, the Romanians could raise their heads proudly, and Dumitrescu proudly replied: "We have already received intelligence that the 6th Infantry Division has advanced towards Gorodnia."
Let’s talk about the 17th Guerrilla Brigade. They were locked in street fighting with the German army! Fortunately, the Soviet army was well prepared and they rushed to produce a large number of throwing explosives. Miroshniko also had a small arsenal on hand, and they could not produce any big weapons.
It's okay to make some low-power grenades.
With these grenades, captured mortars, and a large number of casualties, the Soviet army successfully occupied a street.
This street is unusual, it leads directly to the airport! The Soviet troops attacked along the street, intending to capture the airport.
Just when Miroshniko and his troops arrived at the outskirts of the airport, the German troops guarding the airport suddenly unleashed powerful firepower.
This is an airport after all!
The German army took advantage of this place, and an aviation team was stationed here at this time! It is currently used as a backup airport, with five Stukas being repaired here and ten light reconnaissance aircraft in idle hangars.
The Stuka was relatively expensive to build. In order to ensure the safety of these aircraft, the German army had to guard it desperately. Fortunately, the anti-aircraft machine guns placed here to defend against the Soviet Air Force were now put to great use.
There were five 14.5mm four-batch anti-aircraft machine guns. They turned their muzzles and swept across the attacking 17th Guerrilla Brigade with outrageous firepower.
The more than 300 soldiers on the front line were instantly killed by powerful firepower.
This situation directly shocked Miroshniko, his morale was frustrated, and the attack on the airport was forced to reach a stalemate. So, relying on this street called Peace Street, the guerrilla brigade began to comprehensively clean up the German troops in the city. As for the airport
The Germans continued to hold on, relying on the buildings and their heavy firepower.
This was the battle situation in the early morning of May 6. Miroshniko was very dissatisfied. Why did the intelligence personnel not inform them of this? What was even more crazy was that they did not find a contact intelligence organization in the city at all!
When the sun rose, the fierce fighting was still going on, but the intensity was not as serious as when the fighting just broke out.
By eight o'clock in the morning, an extremely bad fact was placed in front of Miroshniko! With five thousand people, he couldn't take down the city! There were still many buildings, and the German army was stubbornly resisting. The airport was suddenly attacked.
Restricted area! Even after the sun rose, the Germans launched a counterattack.
Keep fighting! Who knows how long this battle will last and whether the German army will have reinforcements.
Evacuate quickly? After paying so much to enter the city, you just evacuate cowardly?
He sent a telegram to the guerrilla movement headquarters to report his contradictory situation. However, the other party issued a fatal order to evacuate the city because the intelligence organization in Chernihiv had deciphered two coded orders from the German army.
The army is ordered to counterattack on Gorodnia! How many people will the German army mobilize? More than 15,000 people!
