The Romanians were not intimidated by the Soviet army at all. Even though the elite tank force was almost completely wiped out, only a few tank crews and maintenance troops left the battlefield.
They were retreating and encountered the attacking Roman army.
The division commander loudly questioned these defeated troops: "Where is your commander? Did he allow you to leave the battle line without authorization?"
The defeated troops had just encountered a very terrible thing. Two tank soldiers said in horror: "Our regiment commander has been killed, and the armored regiment no longer exists."
The division commander shook his head, the problem was a bit difficult. But now the large force was approaching Mozyri and the whole division was advancing, so the battle was unavoidable.
On the front line of the attack, a Romanian infantry regiment was advancing. More than two thousand people were advancing along with a small number of armored vehicles. They were not blocked during the attack.
This is Kuznetsov's order: "The troops must not act rashly. Put the enemy close and then fire hard."
At first, they moved forward in small steps, but in the last few hundred meters, they began to hunch their backs.
Yang Mingzhi knew that the frontline artillery position that had just attracted firepower was bound to attract firepower again at this moment. In fact, this was not bad. It attracted the enemy and then fed it a meal of mortars. Anyway, he was too lazy to take away the extra shells.
Yang Mingzhi lay on the trench mound, with the altitude line of his telescope pointed at the enemy, and could easily determine the distance between the enemy and the position.
"There are still five hundred meters left, all soldiers are ready to fight!"
Yang Mingzhi and other officers received the order to fire violently when the enemy advanced to 300 meters. After all, at this distance, the weapons of the entire army could be effective.
The Soviet army had M1908 Maxim, DP light machine guns, and a large number of captured German general-purpose machine guns.
The strength of the attacking Romanian army and the Soviet army are actually quite close, but their combat awareness and equipment are very different. The Soviet army is defensive and fighting on the ground, so the Soviet army has a relatively greater advantage.
Before the battle had fully begun, the division commander of the Luo Army ordered his subordinates to immediately report information to neighboring troops, especially the friendly troops behind them. "The Soviet army has occupied Mozyr, and all nearby friendly troops are sending reinforcements here."
He knew that he, a mere Romanian division commander, could not mobilize the Germans. Anyway, the message had been sent out, and Mozyr had been recaptured by the Soviet army. The rest of them knew what to do.
Therefore, the Imperial Division listened to the radio report from their allies almost immediately. The Imperial Division eliminated the Soviet army that broke through, but they found that it was not the 284th Guards Division that was eliminated. Just when they were upset, they never expected Mozyri in the distance.
The city was recaptured by the Soviets. There is no need to guess too much. That was the main direction of attack for the Soviet breakout troops, because after passing the city, they quickly reached the swamp.
The Imperial Division took matters into its own hands and ordered the two attached motorized divisions to urgently move closer to Mozyr and get there as quickly as possible. It sent a telegram to the Führer, "The murderer who defeated the 14th Armored Division has been exposed."
When the telegram was sent, a full-scale battle between the Soviet army and the Roman army had already broken out.
Even though the Romans maintained high vigilance, they slowly advanced towards the city. Suddenly there was loud gunfire, and the Roman soldiers in the van rushed to the end.
"Now! Comrades! Shoot!" Yang Mingzhi gave an order. He ordered his own people to give priority to attacking the enemy's armored vehicles.
The enemy's current heavy weapons are those advancing armored trucks, and the machine guns on them are a great threat. Fortunately, these guys are very weakly armored, and the hot spots in the machine gun towers were quickly eliminated, and even the driver was shot and killed.
The Soviet army was pouring out firepower like crazy, and the Romanians were immediately stunned. After suffering heavy casualties, they were suppressed by the firepower and could not even lift their heads.
To make matters worse, seeing that the fighting had begun, the Romanians began a general attack.
Yang Mingzhi's weapon was changed to a Mosin Nagant, and he slowly fired at the Germans with a water ball in his hand. Whether he hit or not depended on luck. For safety reasons, he took off his glasses, wrapped them and handed them to him.
"Xiao Tao, you must lie down in the trench, I won't allow you to show your head."
Yang Tao naturally understood and did whatever her husband asked her to do. She squatted and listened to countless gunshots. Fortunately, she found that almost no one in her own army was injured.
In the past, the Soviet army always paid a high price for blocking. This was because the German Wehrmacht had very good tactics, while the Romanians mostly followed the battle pattern of the First World War.
The attack of this motorized division was still based on infantry. Even though it was no longer possible to organize a dense formation charge regardless of the consequences, the skirmish line offensive was still exposed to the Soviet guns.
Yang Mingzhi thought he had knocked down a few, which was enough. In a positional battle, an ordinary rifleman was far less effective than a machine gunner. Of course, from the perspective of attracting hatred, machine gunners and artillery were too tough.
.
Sure enough, the prominent artillery position became the target of public criticism. The Romanians attacked there in large numbers, but were beaten down by three general-purpose machine guns.
Yang Mingzhi was pleased to see the scene over there. His own mortars were also pouring firepower into that area. The Romanians passed by the wreckage of the tank, and soon they too turned into wreckage.
But the good times did not last long, the Romanian artillery was set up, and their heavy artillery finally lost the position on the salient.
Yang Mingzhi was horrified and hit the ground with his hammer. "These guys still attract too much hatred."
"Brother! What happened!" Yang Tao looked at her husband and asked loudly.
Yang Mingzhi rolled into the trench and looked at his wife, "The man is dead. The position has been destroyed, and the Romans have begun to use artillery."
The Roman artillery was only three kilometers away from the front line and could even be seen through a telescope.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Kuznetsov "ordered the ambush troops to open fire immediately."
In an instant, the dozens of squads that had been lying in wait for a long time carried a large number of automatic weapons, especially machine guns with abundant bullets. The intensive firepower from the left and right wings caught the attacking Romanians by surprise. They were overwhelmed and formed crosses in three directions.
Firepower, the morale of the entire army suffered a huge setback.
The Romanian infantry is mainly equipped with bolt-action rifles, and its firepower is very poor. It poses little threat to the Soviet machine gunners hidden in the grass. On the contrary, the Romanian advance has been successfully blocked. Mortars and 88-guns are harvesting heads.
Artillery fire struck the rear half of the Romanian army, and their retreat was being bombarded.
Kuznetsov felt that the enemy's morale had almost collapsed. "Order the armored vehicles to swarm and dispatch them all."
This was a deadly tactic that was not reserved. Twenty half-track armored vehicles rushed out from the left wing, targeting the enemy's artillery position. The Romanian army suffered heavy casualties and was unable to even resist these running guys. Many soldiers felt that these armored vehicles belonged to them.
friendly forces.
The Romanian soldiers had a huge illusion, as if these vehicles with the Iron Cross Peugeot were coming to support the German army. Many of them did not shoot at the convoy. On the contrary, the Soviet target hidden in the vehicle was the Romanian artillery position.
Compared to the soldiers' doubts, Commander Luo Jun could see through it.
"These are the Soviets! Don't be fooled by them! Shoot quickly!" At this time, Luo Jun began to fight back, but it was already too late.
The machine gun tower was spraying fire, and the Romanian army's artillery was hit hard at close range, and countless artillerymen were killed. These old men were already red-eyed, and there were a lot of artillery shells piled on the ground, but they were still firing.
Then the vehicle door opened, and eight people got out of each armored vehicle, each holding a submachine gun. The Romanian army's artillery position was directly occupied.
The division commander of the Romanian army ordered the troops to retreat and at least recapture the lost artillery positions. Unexpectedly, the Soviet army was already using the newly captured artillery, quickly adjusting the direction and shooting angle, thinking of the returning Romanian army to fire flatly. At the same time, the Soviet artillery
They are also bombing their retreat, and this Romanian army is equivalent to being surrounded.
This is not a battle, more like a massacre.
"Go to hell! Enemy! When you follow Hitler and invade us, you must be prepared to be killed!" a soldier shouted loudly.
Yang Mingzhi heard what he heard. Although he had no grievances against this group of Romanians, since they were invaders, there was only one solution - to eliminate them.
The Romanians suffered huge casualties. Kuznetsov saw that the time to counterattack had arrived. As long as another straw was put in his mouth, the camel would collapse completely!
"Order the troops to mount bayonets and launch a general attack on the enemy!"
Yang Mingzhi received the same order. He glanced at his wife. "Xiao Tao, I dare not disobey the military order. We are going to attack."
Yang Tao's eyes were determined, "It's okay. I'm not afraid. Husband, I'll follow you."
"Okay." Yang Mingzhi looked at his subordinates. "All of them are here! Put on the bayonet and replace the submachine gun with new ammunition. For victory! Ula!"
The Soviet army's specialty Ula Charge began, and the Romanians were shocked. They paid a heavy price and obviously did not eliminate many enemies. On the contrary, the Soviet army attacked overwhelmingly, and they had at least 10,000 people.
The path of the Soviet army's advance was littered with the corpses of Roman soldiers. Yang Mingzhi held his wife's hand. The two of them ran quickly, and they just happened to see the brutality of the battlefield.
The Romanian army had collapsed. Their retreat road to the south was blocked by a group of armored vehicles, and the machine gun fire was very fierce. Their own artillery fire was also occupied by the Soviets, who were firing at their own people.
The troops of the Luo Army that were not involved in the battle had fled on a large scale. They were mainly responsible for the logistics of the entire division, and there were nearly 3,000 troops in this group. The troops in the encirclement suffered heavy losses, and the mayor led the remnants to break out of the encirclement to the west. They had the advantage in numbers.
After all, he broke out and ran all the way.
The Soviet army was ordered to stop pursuing the enemy.
Yang Mingzhi heard the soldiers around him cheering happily, and some even shouted loudly. "Go back and tell your friends that the great Soviet Red Army is invincible. Flee back to their hometown with fear!"
