If Yang Mingzhi had not planned the night raid, Luo Jun's reconnaissance company could have stayed in the forest and finally conveyed a wrong intelligence to the Luo Jun, that is, Slavdich was undefended. This possibility was completely unexpected by Yang Mingzhi. Now,
I also don’t know that the Roman army already thought that Slavdzic’s fortifications were like iron barrels.
After all, Luo Jun made a wrong inference based on the wrong intelligence from his reconnaissance company. They guessed that the city was fortified, but they didn't know that the Soviet troops were hiding outside the city, and their combat strength was ten times that of Bovinescu's objective estimate! The Soviet troops were even more
It's not a weak military force, but a powerful force equipped with powerful rocket launchers.
These Romanian soldiers had no idea that the enemy they were facing had changed a few days ago, and they foolishly thought that they were fighting a Soviet guerrilla brigade in yesterday's encounter.
Today morning, many soldiers knew that this might be the last battle of their lives. Everyone might die suddenly in a war, so shouldn’t they have a good meal before death? They ate up all their food one after another, so that they could not survive.
The Corps' food reserves were officially exhausted.
There is no atmosphere of a last-ditch battle in the army. The soldiers know that large reinforcements will arrive this afternoon, so they have no worries at all! As for if the city cannot be captured before noon, the responsibility lies with the officers, and the soldiers have no time to worry about the regiment.
How will the leader be punished?
They hoped to break through the city directly and give the Russians a decisive blow to win quickly, but they never wanted to be hit by bullets.
With uneasiness and excitement, at eight o'clock in the morning, the infantry regiment, led by its commander Bovinescu, set off for Slavtich.
In front of them was a five-kilometer-long road built on a small plain between forests.
They quickly found some dead bodies on the ground. After identification, they found that this was the scene of the exchange of fire between the reconnaissance company and the enemy last night. When they found the bodies, many Roman soldiers were shocked. They did not continue to check. If these people carefully rummaged through the grass
, you can find some Soviet Makarov pistol cartridge casings.
Smart officers can realize that these shell casings themselves tell a lot of important information, and today, no one cares about it.
The farther west you go, the narrower the plain becomes. This kind of terrain is a good place for an ambush, and no one will like it!
The Luo army had formed a skirmish line from the beginning. Their reconnaissance company was seriously damaged, but the remaining scouts were sent to the front line.
Did the Russians really lie about the city's fortress? They told so many lies that they could believe it, and the scouts already believed that the enemy's fortress was ahead of them!
The army was on high alert from top to bottom, and the safety guards on their firearms had been turned on. Aiming and shooting was a matter of seconds. Five kilometers was only an hour away. Luo Jun walked even more carefully. At half past nine, the scouts arrived first.
Near Slavdzic.
The plain became increasingly narrow, and finally turned into a narrow passage of less than 200 meters. After passing the narrow section, the field of vision quickly became brighter. The reconnaissance company saw the true appearance of Slavdzic, which was completely different from what they had imagined.
——This is simply a ruin.
Where are the enemies? Do they really exist? The scouts did not dare to enter rashly and only used binoculars to look for a while.
The charred land, rubble all over the ground, collapsed buildings, there was no life here. Under the sun, the world was extremely quiet, and an occasional turtle dove flew by, completely attracting the attention of the scouts.
"It's really unlucky. Where is the enemy?" The reconnaissance company commander hammered the ground. He closed his eyes and quickly thought about how to go back to deliver the mission.
The Roman army's large force only followed the scouts. Seeing them coming back, Bovicescu asked urgently: "How is your reconnaissance going? What deployments did the enemy make? How many firepower points are there?"
"They didn't! The only living thing we found was a bird flying through the sky. The city was sacked by the Russians. They destroyed it and left us with nothing but ruins? There may still be snipers in the city, but their defenses
I don’t understand, the enemy may have all withdrawn! They deceived us!”
"Really? You mean that Slavdzic has no enemies now?"
"Yes! It's so quiet, this is so abnormal!"
Immediately, Bovinescu realized that he might have overestimated the Russians. He asked the deputy commander beside him: "Are the Russians afraid? Or is the night harassment also a hat trick done by them? They have wrongly guided us to where we were already.
Are the destroyed cities actually buying some time for their large forces to retreat?"
Brimayu frowned and shook his head. He really couldn't figure anything out, so he didn't draw any conclusions.
But an order is an order, and the city must be taken down.
"Since the Russians have escaped, we can occupy the city without spending a single soldier, so that we can report to the division commander!" Bovinescu waved his hand: "All troops! Keep moving forward!"
However, Bovinescu is not the kind of officer who only charges with brute force. He prefers to believe what he sees with his own eyes as to what the city is like.
Through the map, he also discovered that Slavtich and the surrounding road plains. This unique terrain is quite like a huge beaker. The current position of the army is exactly the mouth of the beaker. Breaking through this mouth, they will enter the belly of the beaker.
, on the map, the city is in the center of Beaker’s belly.
This circular plain surrounded by forests made him feel unspeakably uncomfortable!
He was more thoughtful, put on the steel helmet of an ordinary soldier, passed the "pass" with the reconnaissance company, and crawled on the grass.
He personally picked up his telescope and conducted a survey. As the reconnaissance company said, the city was in ruins! Where was the enemy? There was no trace.
The city and the surrounding environment were so eerily quiet that Bovinescu did not dare to act rashly, but he still planned to keep an eye on it for a while.
In fact, just these reconnaissance actions were clearly seen by the Soviet sentries. Yang Mingzhi deployed the sentries at the edge of the forest due west of the city. This group of sentries carried radios! They also used grass to dress themselves as grass.
The group was lying under a big tree. They saw the sudden appearance of a figure and immediately reported it to their superiors.
At the same time, Yang Mingzhi and the Soviet army were ready for battle. After receiving the warning, he immediately issued combat orders to all battalions.
The real battle had to wait until all Luo Jun's troops entered the encirclement. He ordered the sentries to continue to secretly observe Luo Jun's every move.
On the other hand, Bovinescu was still a little worried. After thinking about it, he ordered the reconnaissance company to go directly into the city for investigation.
This was still considered a risky move. More than fifty soldiers began to appear in the sight of the Soviet sentries. They formed a wide skirmish line, hunched their backs, and groped their way toward the city.
"Now let's see if there are any enemies lurking in the ruins! If everything is safe, shall we enter the city?" asked the deputy commander.
"No! Wait! It's still early before twelve o'clock, we have a lot of time!" Bovinescu sighed, "I hope the enemy has indeed escaped!"
There is a distance of nearly one kilometer from "Jingkou" to the city. The Luo Jun scouts walked smoothly through this distance and entered the ruins safely. For a while, they were very nervous as they groped around in the dilapidated houses.
Check, as observed before, there is really not even a living thing here. What’s even more amazing is that not to mention living things, there are no dead bodies!
Didn't a battle just happen here? There are a large number of craters in the city, as if a large amount of explosives were used to blast it. The city obviously suffered severe bombardment to become what it is now. Could it be that the ammunition depot of the Russian garrison was also
Exploded? But where are the bodies of the defenders?
Being in the city, the reconnaissance company commander had a lot of questions. He could not explain the scene he saw, that is, there were not even dead bodies in the city. After thinking about it, these problems were not what he should understand.
Therefore, the Romanian army in the distance quickly saw the waving Romanian flag. What does this mean? There are indeed no enemies in the city.
Deputy commander Burimayo was overjoyed: "Great, the Russians really escaped! We have completed the mission!"
"No! It's too abnormal! I always feel like something is wrong!"
"Captain, are you still worried about the enemy? There are no enemies here, only an empty city!"
"But what kind of battle can destroy the city like this? These grasslands have been blown into black coal. The Russians we have been chasing for a long time still have such abilities! This doesn't make sense!"
"There are many unexplainable things on the battlefield. Who knows what is happening here!" Brimayu shook his head, "If you are worried, we can continue to observe."
"Just continue to observe. We are sending people to the surrounding forests to take a look. Now I am afraid that the group of Russians will suddenly come out and seek death!"
