Yang Mingzhi made an immediate decision and gave the paratrooper brigade, which was still stable on the left wing, an order to reinforce the right wing.
However, just from the walkie-talkie, he heard that the other party's environment was filled with gunshot noise.
"What's going on? Tepunov? Are you under enemy attack?"
"Yes, sir!" Tepunov shouted with a hoarse voice: "They must have thought that attacking from the north would be promising, so they attacked us. But don't worry, we can easily repel them."
"Okay! I believe you! Tepunov, you send at least one battalion to reinforce the right wing. It is reported that the right wing was attacked by two regiments! That is the most critical battlefield!"
Tepunov was surprised. He had no right to speculate whether this was true. Since the right wing was attacked by so many enemies, why did the elite paratroopers have no reason to act sluggishly?
Reichev's battalion took action immediately. In order to enhance its combat effectiveness, Tepunov also transferred some additional machine gunners and temporarily incorporated them into the battalion to form a firepower-enhanced battalion.
Yang Mingzhi's reinforcement order not only involved the paratrooper brigade, but also Balzen's reconnaissance battalion. These scouts no longer had to serve as positional infantry, and they reinforced the right wing earlier than the paratrooper reinforcements.
The Soviet reinforcements quickly showed results, especially the scouts under Balzen's command. Many of their machine gunners were also at the level of precision shooters. These shooters launched a sniper feast. They replaced RPGs and recoilless rifles.
Soon, the hiding Roman soldiers were severely beaten.
In this battle, Natasha and the sniper team were also specially assigned. After all, the anti-tank gun could ignore the obstruction of the big tree and hit the people behind it through the trunk with ease. It was this huge advantage that made Yang Ming frustrated.
Don't send her to take charge of sniping!
In fact, Natasha herself is also the leader of the fighting spirit in the hearts of the soldiers. She is weak, but once she holds a weapon, she is the strongest shooter!
Although she urgently moved to the right wing with Igor, one was for emergency relief, and the other was for improving the record. But her existence really inspired the fighting spirit of the majority of soldiers!
The increasingly accurate bullets dealt a huge blow to the Romanian army, and Dmitriscu had no choice but to make a wise move - to withdraw to a safe area and confront the enemy.
In fact, the so-called Soviet army was attacked by two regiments of the Romanian army, which was purely a false alarm. They mistakenly identified the Dmitriscu regiment and the divisional reconnaissance battalion as two infantry regiments.
During the battle, the reconnaissance battalion had very strong firepower due to equipment reasons. Dmitriscu also assigned some people to supplement them and ordered them to attack from another angle. This caused the Soviet army to misunderstand.
However, the Soviet army was still at a disadvantage on the right wing. In terms of the firepower of the troops and the momentum of the soldiers, the Soviet army was able to crush the Roman army in all aspects. Even if the Roman army really sent out two regiments, it still continued to attack. In doing so,
The ending of World War I has been presented by the downright bloody meat grinder of Verdun!
Luo Jun finally had to consider how to prepare for the second round of offensive after reorganizing their forces.
The regiment leader Dmitriscu was already sweating profusely, and he was even more worried about the casualties of his own troops.
"Damn it! We can't rush forward at all. In this situation, we can only let the artillery continue to bomb!"
He immediately ordered the telegraph operator accompanying the army to send a telegram to the division headquarters. The telegraph operator was surprised to find that the division headquarters had adopted radio silence? This was unreasonable!
Only then did Dmitriscu think carefully about his terrifying speculation: "The enemy did indeed fire rocket launchers. Could it be that these shells were aimed at the division headquarters? Could it be that the division commander has..." He did not dare to continue thinking.
Putting himself in his situation, he retreated without permission and violated the military order before receiving the retreat order. Even if he escaped, he was still a deserter! Should he continue to attack? Many people in the army have died. Look at the soldiers who retreated. They were all frightened.
!Driving this group of frightened soldiers to continue charging, this...
Dmitricescu couldn't think of a good way, so he had to order to delay! If we don't attack rashly, we will confront the enemy here. Furthermore, since the telegraph communication was inexplicably interrupted, we will use traditional means.
The signal corps was organized. They stuffed in their pockets a handwritten request for artillery support and information about the unit's battle status from their regiment commanders, and quickly rushed to the division headquarters.
These signal troops did not encounter any Soviet obstruction along the way. They ran lightly and quickly broke through the forest and witnessed the wilderness with billowing black smoke.
This is the so-called artillery regiment position. The barrels of the artillery are still standing high. Where are the artillerymen? The artillery is now unattended and the position is basically lost. Those soldiers have not disappeared either. There is a large crowd further east.
.
The signal soldiers knew that the task was arduous. They had no time to take care of the position full of debris and ran towards the crowd. While running, they were actually shot!
Obviously, the comrades regarded themselves as enemies! These signal soldiers shouted loudly in Romanian, and in the end it was their military uniforms that proved their identity.
They broke into the crowd and paid no attention to the half-kneeling comrades holding guns. One of them even shouted: "Where is the division headquarters? Do we want to see the division commander?"
After shouting several times, someone pointed out the location of the temporary division headquarters. When these signal soldiers saw their division commander, these grassroots soldiers deeply felt that this battle was unwinnable.
Grisescu was in a very depressed mood at this moment. The rocket launchers killed most of the staff officers. The deputy division commander was killed on the spot and the chief of staff was seriously injured! The rockets even fell into the temporary field hospital, and the bandaged wounded were lying flat.
Here, they just escaped from the hands of death, and were eventually killed by the bomb. This is fate!
His armor was full of holes and there were contusions on his arms. Now he was almost alone. Fortunately and unfortunately, his staff were either dead or injured, and there were only a few minor injuries left. They couldn't make any reliable decisions.
All the burdens rest on one man's shoulders. This is the heaviest loss the troops have suffered since he led his troops into Ukraine. There is even the possibility of all casualties in the troops! In fact, the current casualties suffered by the troops are enough to withdraw and continue to rest and recuperate.
Got it!
On the one hand, Grisescu was worried about his own casualties, and on the other hand, he was really worried about how to report it to the commander of the group army.
The general also had great hopes for the 6th Infantry Division, counting on this unit that had made great achievements in Crimea to move south here and cooperate with the German army to launch a strategic counterattack against the Soviet army that was attacking on a large scale! This was based on the troops
With sufficient troops, the current command system is about to be paralyzed, and the troops have suffered huge casualties. Grisescu even thought that if he reported the truth, he would be sentenced to death by a military court!
The signal soldier suddenly came, which gave Grisescu some hope. He needed some good news!
I could only hear the signal corps say: "Division commander, our regiment was ordered to provide support, but encountered a tenacious resistance from the Russians! Our army suffered heavy casualties! This is a letter from our regiment commander Dmitriscu!"
This is bad intelligence! Grisescu took the letter with trembling hands. After scanning the contents, he knew that there was no chance of winning in this battle.
What's the point of being angry now? If you can't beat him, you can't beat him!
The content written on this note was of course very shocking. It actually claimed that there were about two regiments of the Soviet army defending! This was written in the handwriting of the regiment leader Dmitriscu, and Grisescu was convinced that it was true.
Thinking of what happened to the combat troops this time, it is obvious that the enemy was well prepared!
The Roman army's battle was indeed hurried and lacked preparation. However, the division commander had determined that even if the two armies were fighting in the wilderness, the Soviet army would lose its dual advantages in strength and weapons! Can this battle continue?
He thought for a while and asked the messenger: "Tell me how many combatable troops your unit still has, and give me an estimate!"
"Including the reconnaissance battalion, our total strength may be less than 2,000! And the enemy is at least 3,000 or more! We..."
"Okay! Stop talking! The battle can no longer continue!" Grisescu tightened his mouth and shook his head helplessly. He was finally faced with a choice. To retreat, he had to go to a military court. If he continued to fight, he was afraid that the Soviet army would go crazy.
Killing, the soldiers fled one after another after being defeated. The entire infantry division was so humiliating in combat that its designation was revoked!
He finally made a decision and ordered the messenger: "The radio battery is exhausted and the backup battery no longer exists! I order you to return to your front immediately and inform Dmitriscu to retreat eastward immediately!"
The order to retreat needs to be sent to all three regiments. The radio is temporarily unavailable, so we can only rely on the messengers to run wildly on the battlefield.
A large number of messengers ran towards the forest where there were still sporadic exchanges of fire, and a large number of artillerymen ran back to the artillery positions they had just abandoned.
