It was only one o'clock in the afternoon when Grisescu ordered a retreat. Although he had his own reasons for retreating, it would have been better if the retreat was very orderly. His men behaved as if they were retreating.
The artillery regiment is the artillery that officers and soldiers have to protect to a limited extent. After the enemy's rocket launcher bombardment, two field guns were reduced to pieces, and three more were taken away because their wheels were damaged and could not be repaired for a while.
The artillerymen could only take away the remaining fifteen guns. They struggled to close the spread recoil buffer brackets and then pushed them away by people. This work required the participation of a large number of soldiers, and more soldiers were responsible for carrying ammunition.
Grisescu immediately ignored the soldiers who threw away their bullets and rifles. These cannons and artillery shells must be taken care of. This time he lost the battle with the suspected Soviet 284th Division. He could abandon a lot of baggage and let the army evacuate lightly, but
If the field artillery can be taken away, it must be taken away! This group of enemies will always be a tough nut to crack. He is willing to accept the crime of incompetence in combat. If he ends up with a reputation for abandoning heavy equipment and feeding the enemy, he cannot afford it.
The evacuation of the artillery regiments and baggage troops was delayed, and the soldiers could no longer form a neat queue. A large number of infantrymen ignored their carriages, and many people threw away useless loads, such as a large amount of spare ammunition. The soldiers just wanted to pack lightly.
Withdraw, even if the equipment is thrown away, it can still be replenished, but if their lives are gone, it is all over! They know that if they continue to walk some distance eastward, they will encounter a Ukrainian village, and as long as they get there, they will be completely safe.
But how much physical strength does it take to run wildly in the wilderness of half-meter-high grass? At least a large number of baggage carriages received a lot of assistance, and the chauffeurs beat the horses crazily, but they only gained limited acceleration.
It has to be said that Grisescu's retreat order was largely based on the exaggerated description of the messenger of Dmitriscu's regiment and the pessimistic narrative of his regiment commander. However, the messenger only withdrew from the battlefield and ran to the battlefield.
The transfer of the division headquarters took an hour.
On the battlefield, an hour is too long. Sometimes, a dramatic change in fate only takes five minutes!
After the Romanian army encountered a Soviet rocket launcher attack, 2,700 Soviet troops ambushed nine kilometers north of the battlefield and began to bravely move south. Anatoly led all his soldiers and ran all the way at the junction of the forest and the wilderness.
The cavalry battalion accompanying him did not advance rashly, because Womansky did not want to break into the enemy's position and become a target of public criticism.
Yang Mingzhi claimed in the order that the Romanian army's rear defense was empty. Anatoly completely believed this situation and did not have the slightest doubt.
These Soviet soldiers, especially the female soldiers, half of the 1,800 female soldiers in the third regiment actually went to the battlefield for the first time. This first battle was no small matter. They received the order from the regiment commander,
Just install the spur on your rifle and charge towards the south!
"This is a golden opportunity that our army has seized to defeat the enemy's logistics troops and artillery. We and the main force should cooperate inside and outside to completely annihilate the enemy!"
Anatoly's simple mobilization easily pushed morale to the highest level, and these female soldiers also began their first assault operation of the Patriotic War with great vigor.
Volmansky Jr. and more than 300 cavalrymen under his command. According to the study at the April Congress, Salinchkin approved the cavalry to equip the cavalry with lances.
This so-called lance is a wooden stick inserted into the spearhead, and the total length is actually only two meters. The real Soviet cavalry, the rider usually has a Cossack scimitar with a cold light, but Womansky was unable to equip the soldiers with this.
The lance became their only offensive cold weapon.
Just like the Red Army cavalry during the Soviet-Russian Civil War, Womansky Jr. and his soldiers also carried rifles on their backs, bolt-action rifles and even submachine guns on their backs. They all wore Budyon-style military uniforms.
Hat, with a huge five-pointed star cut from red cloth sewn on the hat.
They don't look like the army of the 1940s at all. For them, time seems to have returned to 1920!
This mighty army maintained an orderly formation at the beginning, with the cavalry clearing the way. They advanced at a high speed of more than six kilometers per hour. When they saw the black smoke rising into the sky in the distance, everyone knew that what was ahead was
It’s a battlefield!
It is best to hold a short military meeting at this stage to lay out the next battle.
However, little Warmansky is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. This is the first time he has participated in a battle. There is no fear of death in battle. He can be said to be completely sincere to the country, but in fact he is more of a surrender.
A natural desire to fight.
He was like a shark that smelled the smell of blood, or a brown bear that saw its prey. He stood up with his spear raised, and the lance tip tied with red cloth shone brightly in the scorching sun!
Little Womansky ignored Anatoly at all. He shouted to his men: "Comrades! The opportunity to make contributions to the country has come! We are cavalry! Rush over now and wipe out all the enemies! Ula!"
For a moment, the horses neighed and the soldiers roared. A horse team of more than 300 people launched a brazen attack on the retreating Romanian artillery regiment and heavy supplies.
These troops, who were essentially light cavalry, could still maintain high-speed maneuvers in the wilderness of half-meter-high green grass. They came very quickly. When the retreating Roman soldiers noticed these people, it was already too late!
The chaotic Luo army immediately opened fire on the approaching cavalry. The bullets were really powerful. Due to the panic, only a handful of them actually hit the target.
Warmansky suffered a certain amount of losses, and he knew that he could not retreat, not to mention that he actually arrived at the enemy camp and witnessed a large-scale evacuation.
"Comrades! The enemy is about to retreat! We can't let them go! Eliminate them as much as possible and seize all the carriages and horses!"
The cavalry did not just use cold weapons stupidly. Before poking people with their lances, most of the cavalry still raised their Mosin Nagant rifles and shot at the enemy. There were even soldiers who held gun sand in one hand and aimed roughly at the target.
Just shoot like crazy.
These shots from the cavalry could not kill many enemies. The significance is that their appearance became a catalyst for the enemy to flee! The Luo army had some order at the beginning, but in the end the order was gone.
Luo Jun also had more than a thousand war horses and more than 200 carriages retreating eastward. Being disrupted by the Soviet army, the carriage drivers had to go even more crazy to whip the horses. If the horses ran unsatisfactory, they would not hesitate to do so.
He got into the carriage, skillfully untied the reins, and rode eastward directly on his horse.
If the Roman army could organize a simple resistance, even if the infantry lined up in an ancient line formation and fired volleys at the enemy cavalry, Warmansky was afraid that he would be defeated! However, these soldiers
They actually fought on their own, so it was inevitable that they would be massacred by the cavalry.
Little Warmansky broke into the crowd of Roman soldiers, and their shooting became more accurate. They could even use their lances to aim at the enemies who were fleeing for their lives and pierce them with a spear!
After Womansky Jr. stabbed one of them, he pulled out the revolver from his waist and fired at the enemy with his back exposed!
As the cavalry battalion commander, his first task is to maximize the results of the surprise attack, which cannot be measured simply by how many enemies are killed.
The cavalry battalion's raid enabled them to capture a large number of Roman carriages. Like his uncle, Womansky had a special liking for horses. The enemy dropped a large number of tall horses, and they were all military horses. With them, soon
Can we train a larger cavalry unit?
Furthermore, it has become increasingly difficult to continue the pursuit eastward. After all, the cavalry battalion only has more than 300 cavalry. Some of them have been damaged in the battle. The effect of the surprise attack has been achieved, and the remaining pursuit cannot be achieved.
There were still soldiers firing at the enemy, and even cavalry continued to pursue them.
Warmansky Jr. quickly issued an order: "Everyone should stop chasing immediately! Protect these trophies! Rescue wounded comrades and execute all wounded enemy soldiers!"
This order could only be received quickly by some of the subordinates. Those who continued to pursue saw that none of their comrades had followed, so they had no choice but to withdraw angrily and look for the trophies they needed among the various supplies dropped by Luo Jun!
