Chapter 1105 The right wing of the formation was attacked
The luck of the Soviet army was good or bad. These rockets did not blow up the Romanian artillery immediately. Only two rockets exploded at the edge of the enemy's artillery position. The powerful shock wave only knocked down two field guns.
artillery, and did not cause the very welcome explosion of the ammunition depot.
But these rocket launchers had a major unexpected harvest.
The two infantry regiments of the Roman Army are on the front line, and their division headquarters can only be with the artillery regiment.
Their large number of carriages and horses were fixed in a large area, and most of the rockets exploded on the grass. The violent explosion frightened a large number of horses! The horses went crazy, jumping up and down, and many of them broke free from their restraints.
Scattered for their lives in the wilderness.
Some horses were actually killed by rocket launchers, many were stunned by the shock wave, and some were directly torn apart by shrapnel, turning into bloody corpses.
According to the normal establishment, the number of horses carrying supplies for the Sixth Division of the Roman Army was more than 2,000. They acted in a hurry, but more than 1,000 horses were brought out to participate in the operation.
If it was just horses and some supplies that were damaged in battle, then Luo Jun would be completely able to accept such losses.
But there was a clever and brave rocket that flew towards the frontline headquarters of Romanian division commander Grasescu at a tricky angle!
It exploded not far to the east of the headquarters, and the shock wave mixed with shrapnel swept across the place. For a time, the temporarily dug semi-crypt headquarters was plunged into a smoky atmosphere.
Grassescu was unprepared for the sudden attack, and his staff were even more unprepared. He was very lucky. After the explosion, he fell into a deep unconsciousness for a period of time, and his whole figure seemed dead.
generally.
He was not dead! After the smoke almost dissipated, Gracescu struggled to get out of the pile of corpses. After a little inspection, he found that his uniform and face were covered with blood, and it was not his own.
Looking at his staff, he came to a very simple conclusion - they were either dead or injured!
"Damn! You damn Russians!"
After roaring for a while, Gracescu regained his composure and saw smoke rising everywhere in his camp! Panicked horses, running soldiers, and artillerymen fleeing from their artillery positions, the scene was a mess.
What kind of attack is this? There are still white ribbons in the sky. What are they? Thinking of this attack and those strange clouds, Grassescu realized that he was hit by the Soviet Katyusha rocket.
It exploded!
"No! We can't stay here any longer. This must be their experimental bombardment! Their bombardments will continue! They must become more and more accurate."
Division Commander Grasescu made a major mistake in the crisis. Without notifying the frontline soldiers, he ordered the artillery regiment and other heavy equipment to move two kilometers eastward.
Don't underestimate these two kilometers. This distance is not far in the wilderness, but it is still very effective in avoiding the Soviet rocket bombardment.
Grassescu could no longer take care of the injured. He took the remaining staff and began to transfer the headquarters. All remaining troops also followed their division commanders to retreat. However, this evacuation for the purpose of avoiding shelling was very difficult.
The trend develops into a collapse.
It was a lie that the Roman army did not desert. Many people actually witnessed the whole process of the rocket bombardment! When Grassescu stopped, there were actually soldiers running eastward, and some were even escaping in carriages.
In this case, Grassescu had no choice but to order the soldiers of the artillery regiment who had turned into infantry to open fire on those who continued to escape on the pretext of stabilizing the morale of the army!
This method indeed prevented the rout from happening, and the troops gradually gathered together again in Grassescu. However, the newly stabilized troops encountered new attacks. But this is all a story later.
Shortly after the rocket launcher was launched, the right-wing guard troops of the Soviet formation saw a large number of shaking figures. After confirming that they were enemies, they opened fire immediately!
This is Dmitriscu's infantry regiment of the Romanian Army. They were merged with the Romanian Army's reconnaissance battalion, with a total strength of nearly 2,500. After encountering fire resistance, they immediately chose to attack.
The Dmitriscu Regiment also suffered more defeats and fewer wins in previous wars with the Soviet regular army. The main reason for its failure was its poor weapons and equipment.
However, when destroying the guerrillas, they found that their weapons were at least better than the guerrillas. During this period of fighting, they always had the upper hand.
But this time, everything seemed to be back in Odessa, back in Crimea! The soldiers of this regiment recalled the fear of being dominated by the defensive positions lined with Soviet Maxim machine guns. In that kind of battle, their own side still had
Mortars can be used to try to blow up Soviet firepower points. But in this battlefield densely covered with trees, mortars are useless.
During this war, Dmitriscu and his brothers were well aware that the German army was using a new type of infantry support weapon, the rocket-propelled grenade. This weapon was used by both the Soviet Union and Germany, but their German allies refused to use it.
These cutting-edge weapons are provided to Luo Jun.
Dmitrisku knew too well how disgusting this weapon would be if it was specifically used for anti-infantry, so when he was bombarded by a large number of RPGs, his first feeling was shock! "How could these Russians equip this? Even if
It’s equipped, how come there are so many equipments?!”
He didn't have time to think about these problems, so he ordered the troops to retreat a certain distance and continued to shoot at the enemy positions with bullets!
The Roman army is by no means the kind of army that retreats when its attack is frustrated. Dmitriscu received the task of supporting friendly forces. His current total strength is 2,500 people! If he retreats like this, he is not a coward!
Even though he heard the whooshing roar and saw something dragging a huge smoke front in the sky, he did not interrupt his attack at all!
On the Soviet side, thanks to the Soviet army's triangular formation, both offense and defense can be taken into account. Located on the far right side of the formation are the Ninili Battalion and Titov Battalion of the 284th Division's Second Regiment. The former is a promoted militia battalion.
It is a regular army, and the latter is the original Lavrenti Battalion. The second regiment is a combination of one strong and one weak, but its total strength is only one thousand people, and it faces twice as many enemies.
The messenger rushed to the headquarters in a hurry and explained the situation of the enemy on the right wing.
Yang Mingzhi had long heard a large number of gunfire coming from the south. He asked anxiously: "How many enemies did the right wing encounter? Don't say they encountered enemies! I need an approximate number!"
The messenger also made up a worrying statistic, that is, two enemy regiments were encountered on the right!
"What? Two regiments? Is this true?" Yang Mingzhi was greatly surprised.
The messenger responded with a sullen face: "We found that the enemy attacked from two angles, and their firepower was very strong! They are not two regiments, is there still only one?"
Yang Mingzhi believed this to be true. He also knew that the right wing was currently commanded by Lavrenti. He and the veterans were all his old subordinates! The bullets were ruthless and one or two more would be killed or injured. The veterans from the Far East, especially his own
There really aren’t many veterans left in the direct line!
