The horse-drawn carriage team, which had always been quite large, marched struttingly on the dirt road leading to Slavdzic. The road surface had long been dry, and the team's progress was smooth.
Yang Mingzhi received Balzen's victory report at 1:30 in the afternoon. Balzen shouted into the walkie-talkie in an excited tone: "We have won, there are no casualties in our army, and the enemy's army has been completely wiped out. The seizure of supplies has begun."
Transport to the city.”
There is no suspense about the outcome of the battle, and Yang Mingzhi is very concerned about what they have captured.
This horse-drawn convoy entered the Soviet army's sight more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and the convoy quickly drove in front of Yang Mingzhi.
Yang Mingzhi personally inspected it and found that there was strangely no military rations in the enemy's baggage, but only a large number of ammunition boxes. When he opened a box, he found a dazzling array of loose Mauser ammunition. There were also twenty rounds of ammunition for ZB26.
Box, this thing Yang Mingzhi is very familiar with.
In addition to a large number of bullets, there are also many Xiangzi loaded with mortar shells. From the appearance alone, Yang Mingzhi knew that it was difficult for him to use this kind of shells - the caliber was wrong. If they were used as some fixed explosives, they would have considerable use value.
Generally speaking, the most important items among the seized materials were the horses, more than a hundred tall military horses. Not to mention Womansky and Salinchkin, even he liked to see them.
He issued an order to the scouts who were escorting the captured supplies: "You don't have to worry about the rest. You take some food and ammunition and return the same way, and take action immediately!"
These scouts rested for only ten minutes and then rushed to the camp at the edge of the forest carrying a lot of supplies.
Aren't these soldiers tired? Of course they are, but the war situation forces them to be energetic. From the grassroots soldiers to senior officers like Yang Mingzhi, everyone has firmly understood that before the sun sets today, Luo Jun
The main force will definitely reach the edge of the forest.
The enemy is on the way.
…
This is indeed the case!
Grisescu's large forces were heading in the direction of Slavtich, but the speed of movement was seriously unsatisfactory. Furthermore, he did not think that he needed to be too hasty in ordering the troops to move forward at high speed. After all, the Germans would not be able to encircle and suppress Soviet guerrillas.
He actually treacherously withdrew his troops and gave the so-called glory of victory to Romania. Such high-sounding words only made him happy for a while.
The battle lasted for too long, and the whole division complained endlessly. This operation was simply carried out in a hurry, and the logistics of the troops were inherently insufficient. The Romanian army had to supply supplies on the spot. But many Ukrainian villages that obeyed the Germans could not withstand the second round.
Exploitation. At this time, the villagers also found backers, namely a small number of local German garrison troops. In the end, the Roman army received very limited supplies, which objectively delayed its advance.
Another reason for their slow action is that they have no clear attack target.
After the main body of the enemy's huge guerrilla force broke through, the participating troops hid in Tibet. This group of stragglers was indeed not afraid of death, and would not lie dormant due to military power, but would create chaos on a large scale. This kind of harassment could not give
Luo Jun caused no real damage, but he actually created a kind of battlefield terror.
Except for the Bovisescu regiment, which clearly knows the approximate location of the enemy's main force, the remaining two infantry regiments have taken many detours these days! Until the group army issued an order that the Sixth Infantry Division must seize the Slavic areas occupied by the guerrillas.
Only then did Ji Qi and the various Luo army units scattered on the vast battlefield really have an offensive direction.
As the war reached this point, division commander Grisescu felt increasingly useless.
"Those damn Russians, if I catch you, I will shoot you all!" He said these angry words countless times in the mobile headquarters, and the chief of staff's ears could already hear the callousing.
When he received Bovicescu's telegram on the morning of May 20, his anger was relieved. For a long time, he finally got the good news, that is, he could regain Slavdzic on May 20. As for the enemy
After escaping into the forest, we can only wait for orders from our superiors as to how to proceed with the encirclement and suppression work.
Grisescu also learned of such a major event on May 19, that is, in the early morning of that day, the Soviet army launched a huge military offensive in eastern Ukraine. The length of its front was shocking.
As a division commander, he also received an order from the group army: "After your troops have eliminated the Russian guerrillas, they will immediately rush to Chernihiv and take a train south."
The Soviet army's battle against Kharkov officially began, and the German army was well prepared for this battle. Although the Soviet army's offensive momentum was very fierce and it achieved huge results in a short period of time, the German army, especially Paulus, the commander of the Sixth Army, believed that he
The chances of winning are also very high.
The elite German troops are stationed in eastern Ukraine. Not only do they have their own strategic reserves, but they can also quickly transport troops to the Donbass region through the railway system. They also have servant troops. Two Romanian armies have received mobilization orders, with a total of
Twenty Romanian divisions will cooperate with the German army. They are not currently on the front line of the war, but as a strategic reserve force, starting the eastward movement.
The Sixth Infantry Division is naturally within the mobilization range, but they are already deeply involved in the battle to encircle and suppress the guerrillas!
From the standpoint of division commander Grisescu, his biggest task at the moment is to capture Slavdzic. As for the issue of the enemy's remnants escaping into the forest to continue the encirclement and suppression, that is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Romanian army!
Therefore, as long as Grisescu receives the telegram that his subordinates have captured Slavdzic, he can order the troops to stop their actions. He can then ask the group army for instructions and wait for the latest orders.
He believed that the city could be captured without any effort. Moreover, Colonel Adam Ciobanu's infantry regiment, led by his general, also quickly reached the target. Although this infantry regiment had only fought with stragglers, they
A lot of food has been obtained in the Ukrainian villages. The favorable support of this infantry regiment can just solve the urgent need of Bovisescu's troops!
The battle situation seemed to be under Grisescu's control. Ciobanu's infantry regiment and his carriage filled with various supplies were about to arrive at the edge of the forest.
It was already 3:30 in the afternoon on May 20. The former battlefield had already fallen into silence, and the executed Romanian soldiers were in a state of rigor mortis.
Several Soviet scouts climbed up the tall red pine like monkeys, hiding among the pine needles. They held high-power reconnaissance binoculars and scanned the surroundings.
What is supposed to come will come. The scouts discovered the huge crowd in the distance, and the information was immediately passed to Balzen.
"Alas! What is coming has finally arrived! Order all investigation teams to pay close attention to changes in the situation, and do not open fire unless absolutely necessary!"
The Soviet intelligence system immediately acted efficiently. After the scouts saw the army in the distance, the intelligence was transmitted to Slavdich within five minutes. Yang Mingzhi and his troops also operated efficiently, that is, they stayed in the position in the forest.
Telegrams were sent to Blacksmith Village and Missi Ferry. In addition to reporting new enemy warnings, they also issued orders to fight at any time.
The Roman army who came from afar knew nothing about this, and the infantry commander Qiao Banu was in a good mood.
When they were marching, they were still too far away from Slavtich, and coupled with the interference of the wind, they could not hear the artillery fire from the distance at all. The smoke from the explosion was also blown away by the south wind immediately and could not be seen.
It was as if nothing happened.
Ciobanu did not receive the telegram from his colleague Bovisescu, and he did not even pay attention to it! He led a total of 2,100 troops, 230 horses, and 60 carriages, walking in half
In the wilderness of meters high and barren grass, I was ready to distribute the supplies to my colleagues to save the group of comrades who had run out of food at noon today!
The reconnaissance company also opened the way in front of this mighty team. They were the first to make a surprising discovery in the wilderness - a Romanian flag fluttering in the wind.
They ignored the report and accelerated towards the target. The next scene was shocking. There were no living people here, only dead people. The scene of the dead was also extremely miserable. They wore nothing and were shot in a queue.
He was shot in the back of the head and died. The scene was very bloody!
