The Romanian army scouts immediately rushed to the main force and reported this appalling situation to their regiment leader Ciobanu.
"What? What you found is a camp of our army?"
"Yes! We saw the proposed trenches dug, the machine gun positions made of dirt, some shell casings scattered on the ground, and the dead bodies!"
"Dead body?" Ciobanu asked in surprise: "Is that one of ours?"
"Probably yes, they were killed deliberately. The Russians must have killed them!"
"Russians? Have you found the Russians?"
"No! Quiet and hungry! Not only are there no Russians, but friendly forces also don't seem to exist. There are only some corpses suspected of being ours."
What the scout said was so confusing that Ciobanu's good mood came to an abrupt end. He couldn't help but tremble in his heart, so he ordered the entire army to be more vigilant.
The Soviet scouts were always lying in the grass, and the grass acted as a perfect cover. They finally saw clearly the appearance of the enemy. These were indeed Romanian troops. Although they wore the same helmets as the German troops, their military uniforms directly showed that they were
its unique identity.
The Romanian troops formed a skirmish line and arrived at the position where the national flag was flying. Their pace did not stop, so the Soviet sentries had to retreat.
After this reconnaissance, the newly arrived enemy reconnaissance battalion has completely figured out the enemy's strength and even made a rough assessment of its combat effectiveness.
Without Commander Luo's knowledge, his details were completely known to Yang Mingzhi five kilometers away.
"This enemy has only two thousand people. There are no obvious field artillery, and there are a lot of carriages and horses! It's really interesting. Are they full-time logistics troops?" Yang Mingzhi closed his eyes and thought for a while, especially thinking about the one who had been killed.
The officer who was taken away, Brimayo, confessed that the infantry regiment that had been eliminated was short of food, and the following friendly forces would provide food and ammunition supplies. Considering this, it is not surprising that the newly arrived enemy has a large number of baggage carriages.
Which soldier is not greedy for food and ammunition? These are two materials that determine life in troubled times!
The enemy is coming fiercely, and there will definitely be enemies coming here later! They may already know about today's battle and the fact that the Luo army was defeated!
Yang Mingzhi had no choice but to overestimate these enemies and once again ordered Balzen: "You continue to do a good job in investigation and continue to report any new discoveries."
The order was sent out, and Yang Mingzhi immediately held an emergency meeting.
At this time, most of the soldiers who had participated in the morning battle were taking an active lunch break to recharge their batteries. But judging from the current enemy situation reported by Balzen, he had indeed missed a good opportunity!
Since the enemy's armaments are average and they are dressed like heavy troops, if they had known this, they would have sent all the troops to the front line at noon to launch a surprise attack. The chances of winning are not small.
There is no chance for large-scale combat today. It is already afternoon. Maybe there can be a night attack at night.
The military meeting was held unexpectedly, and Yang Mingzhi explained the truth about the arrival of the new enemy.
"Comrades, the enemy has sent me guns and ammunition again, and they have also brought a large number of horses! We can still achieve great results in the future battles!"
These words truly stimulated the restless hearts of the officers present, and more than one person expressed their determination and physical confidence to fight immediately.
Yang Mingzhi waved his hand and rejected the desire of his subordinates to fight. "Today, it is not suitable for us to engage in all-out combat. In one hour, reinforcements from Misi Ferry will arrive. Our army needs to be well supplied. Everyone returns to their respective places.
Wake up all the soldiers in the camp and continue to rest after a good meal. Today, the main force of our army will no longer take the initiative to attack!"
Two Soviet regiment-sized Soviet troops are hiding in the forest north of Slavdich. The only available things in the city are a handful of steel fragments that cannot be taken away immediately. The strategic value of the city is basically zero, and there is only
A lifeless ruins of war.
Yang Mingzhi's personal plan is to start a war with the Romanian Army on May 21. By then, his own troops will be recharged and a large number of reinforcements will cross the river. If by tomorrow, all the remaining troops of the Romanian Army's infantry division will arrive,
A decisive battle is about to take place.
The fact that the battle turned into such a division-level battle was not based on the original battle plan. However, the poor strategic performance of the Luo Army Infantry Regiment had greatly strengthened the confidence of Yang Mingzhi, and even the majority of Soviet officers and soldiers, to make a difference.
In a large-scale battle, the entire Romanian 6th Infantry Division will be defeated in an instant! Isn't it a great gift to Timoshenko to eat an enemy division in one go?
However, the fact that the main force was ordered not to fight today does not mean that the Soviet army really did not fire a shot and only quietly observed. Yang Mingzhi also knew that the battle situation would never completely develop in the direction he hoped. Luo
The army has poor combat effectiveness and is by no means a pure fool. The enemy will also conduct reconnaissance and even send troops straight to Slavtich to explore the road. After seeing the ruins of the city, can they still feel calm? They will look for the missing friendly troops and conduct further investigation into the forest.
Look for it. By then there is no need to hide anything. As long as you fire at it, the Soviet army will declare its existence.
In this case, it is better to open fire early so as to attract the enemy. According to the reconnaissance information, they do not even have large-caliber field artillery, but they are covered by the firepower of the Soviet catfish rocket launcher. Who can take advantage of it?
The advantages are clear at a glance.
Therefore, Yang Mingzhi is waiting for Balzen's next investigation report!
…
On the other hand, even after retreating into the forest, the group of scouts disguised as grass regiments under Balzen were still observing closely.
The Roman soldiers did not go further into the forest. After a brief survey, they set up sentries on the edge of the forest. After all, the Roman soldiers only had 2,000 people, so it was impossible for them to place too many sentries.
Balzen naturally despised these sentries. After the enemy posts were relatively stable, the retreating Soviet scouts returned to their original positions. In addition to continuing to observe the enemy's large troops, they also stared at the enemy sentries.
Also because of the placement of sentries, the regiment leader Ciobanu had no worries. He had no idea that the Soviet army was ambushing nearly 500 people not far away. What’s even crazier, these people were all wearing Romanian military uniforms!
He was eager to check out the dead bodies and did not worry too much. Under the escort of more than a dozen guards, he entered the former military camp of Bovisescu.
When he actually saw these dead bodies, in addition to being violently shaken in his heart, he also lamented: "These dead are indeed our compatriots! They were killed by the Russians! Those Russians lacked clothing and ammunition, so they were like locusts.
, took away all the valuable supplies here!"
No one questioned their leader's words, and the onlookers mourned their dead compatriots. What else could they do next? The soldiers used the foxholes that existed here to throw the dead bodies in and bury them properly.
Ciobanu looked at the Romanian flag flying alone on the battlefield, and then thought about the dead bodies that had just been buried. He realized that this matter was not simple. He immediately convened a military meeting, and all battalion commanders gathered in the camp.
"The enemy is still there! Bovinescu's regiment is missing! They may have occupied the city, but this camp was attacked by the enemy!"
This explanation seemed reasonable, but the communications soldiers accompanying the army gave elusive intelligence. They said they sent telegrams to friendly forces, but they got no response. If they really occupied the city, they should have sent back telegrams, but
No news.
This situation can be explained by the damage to the telegraph machine during the battle. However, when the enemy really attacked here, they still allowed the Romanian flag to fly. This is incredible!
The most elusive thing is the traces of friendly forces!
Ciobanu and his men were in a military meeting, and at the same time, the Soviet scouts also began to report their important discoveries.
