A Romanian frontline officer was angrily giving orders to his soldiers to fire.
Following the officer's order, the Romanian soldiers, who were already angry, immediately fired vengeful bullets at the Hungarian soldiers who were charging towards them.
What did the Hungarians do to make the Romanian officers and soldiers on the front line so angry? In fact, it was nothing. They just shelled the fighting area. It was just that the time of the shelling was when the first attack was about to be withdrawn. This made the Romanian officers and soldiers panic.
Not on guard.
In fact, this sudden shelling caused more casualties to the Hungarian soldiers, but the Romanian officers and soldiers believed that they had been deceived. Yes, when fighting in Europe, even if everyone is fighting desperately on the battlefield, there are still some unwritten rules that need to be followed.
It was obvious that the Hungarians broke the rules, which made the Romanian soldiers extremely angry.
The continuous angry gunfire made the attacking Hungarian soldiers suffer. Facing the most accurate marksmanship, the Hungarian soldiers were like the blocked tide, unable to suppress the invisible line. From time to time, there were
The brave and talented Hungarian soldiers tried to cross this invisible line, but this only added another innocent life to the battlefield.
However, everything has special consequences. Just when the Hungarian soldier was unable to lift his head under the weight of the dense hail of bullets, a vigorous figure rushed out dodging left and right. I saw this Hungarian soldier using the terrain to move quickly,
Many bullets intended to knock him down were dodged.
The performance of this soldier caused the Hungarian soldiers, who were so overwhelmed that they could not lift their heads, to applaud again and again.
"Tamut, rush over."
"Let Romanians know how powerful we are."
The behavior of this soldier named Tamut attracted more attention on the battlefield, so more intensive gunshots were fired at him. At this time, Tamut was not simple. After feeling that he had received too much attention, he lowered his voice.
He took a quick step and hid in a crater that was still smelling of gunpowder smoke.
The airflow of bullets flying over his head also knocked the military cap on his head to the ground. This made Tamut, who had just gone through strenuous exercise and was still sweating on his face, feel scared. He almost almost did it just now.
He just felt that he was about to fall into the arms of death.
Tammut's behavior greatly boosted the morale of the Hungarian soldiers. At this time, the leading officer saw this opportunity and immediately encouraged him loudly: "The enemy has nothing to fear, just charge with me."
After saying that, he immediately bent down and rushed towards the Romanian position. Seeing how brave the leading officers were, the Hungarian soldiers immediately followed. The actions of these soldiers immediately caused a chain reaction. When they saw someone leading the charge,
Later, other commanders made the same choice. So on the battlefield, Hungarian soldiers charged across the battlefield.
These soldiers were not afraid of the oncoming hail of bullets and rushed towards the Romanian position not far away.
Landelier, who was observing the battlefield situation from behind, looked at the scene through the telescope and said excitedly: "This is the tactic I want, good fight."
Then he ordered the staff around him: "Call the artillery immediately and ask them to block possible enemy reinforcements."
"yes"
The communications staff officer who received Landelier's order replied and immediately rushed to issue the order from the commander-in-chief.
After the communications staff left, Landelier continued to pick up his binoculars to observe the battle on the front line. In Landelier's expectant eyes, the Hungarian troops attacking on the front line endured huge casualties and finally rushed into position.
Fierce hand-to-hand combat began.
"kill"
A Hungarian soldier roared and jumped into the trench with a rifle equipped with a bayonet, and other Hungarian soldiers following him also jumped into the trench. As for the Romanian soldiers who defended the position, except for the initial raid, they lost a few people.
In addition, others picked up rifles with bayonets and started fighting fiercely with the Hungarian soldiers.
A Hungarian soldier faced the Romanian soldier who was looking at him. Both of them were holding rifles on high alert. They looked at each other so seriously, fearing that if they were not careful, they would bring endless regret to themselves.
At this tense moment, a speck of dust may become the key to determining the fate of both parties.
This tense and solemn atmosphere was constantly oppressing the nerves of the two soldiers, making them feel beads of sweat on their foreheads. At this moment, the sweat beads on the Hungarian soldier's forehead rolled into his eyes.
He rolled his eyes inadvertently.
Seeing the opportunity, the Romanian soldier stepped forward, thrust the weapon in his hand forward, and roared in anger. The Hungarian soldier, who had lost the opportunity, hurriedly used his rifle to block the attack.
Seeing the opportunity, the Romanian soldier used his rifle to challenge him. He lost his position and was exposed to an empty door. Then he was kicked in the lower abdomen, which instantly made the Hungarian soldier sit on the ground. The severe pain in the lower abdomen made the Hungarian soldier's hand holding the gun weak.
Trembling slightly, the Romanian soldier would not show mercy to his opponent at this time. He continued to push the opponent's rifle away with one blow, then stepped forward and solved the opponent with a thrust.
It seems very complicated to say, but in fact, it took just a few seconds for the two of them to decide the winner. The result was also obvious: life or death. This is the cruelty of hand-to-hand combat. Hand-to-hand combat requires strict training and excellent psychological quality to be able to win.
Let yourself survive this kind of close combat.
Hand-to-hand combat scenes like this are everywhere on the battlefield. However, unlike Hungary fighting alone, Romanian soldiers have good cooperation with each other. They rely on their teammates in twos and threes to fight with their opponents.
Therefore, the Romanian soldiers on the position were not afraid of the Hungarian soldiers who were not much more numerous than themselves in hand-to-hand combat. And the situation on the battlefield was indeed like this. The absolute majority of the soldiers who fell in hand-to-hand combat were Hungarians. But when they saw their comrades falling one after another,
In a pool of blood, the Hungarian soldiers who spent less time training than Romania could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts and were driven out of their positions one after another.
This attack, which Landelier had high hopes for, completely failed.
After seeing his soldiers being driven out of the position, Landelier threw away his military cap angrily, especially after seeing the casualty figures, he cursed: "Damn it, we can't take the position even after losing so many people."
.”
It turned out that the fighting caused the attacking Hungarians to lose nearly 20,000 people. According to Landelier's observation, the Romanian army lost no more than 4,000 people this time. The casualty ratio of 5:1 was really ugly.
Regarding this battle, Romania also concluded that the main reason was that there were not enough front-line suppression weapons, which allowed Hungary's group charge tactics to work. This does not mean that there were too few machine guns to suppress the front-line positions, but that there were too many losses. The Hungarians did not want
Under the heavy fire, many machine guns failed to function as they should.
In response to this situation, General Salamik's approach was simple and crude. He directly mobilized many machine guns from the second and third line positions to strengthen the first line positions. In this way, there can basically be 1 heavy machine gun every 100 meters on the first line positions.
, 4.1 light machine guns, with such ferocious firepower, if the Hungarian People's Army is still allowed to use the group charge technique, then the position commander will need to be transferred back to the military academy to learn it all over again.
Sure enough, in the following days, the Hungarians were completely suppressed under the more violent rain of bullets and could not get close to the Romanian positions. Even if their artillery troops bombarded the front-line positions regardless of Romanian counterattacks, they could not make the slightest change.
However, when Romania stubbornly resisted the impact of Hungarian soldiers, the losses of its front-line support weapons such as machine guns were also very high. The number of light and heavy machine guns it was equipped with plummeted from 5.4 guns per 100 meters to...
The inconvenient heavy machine gun wears out very quickly.
While the main force of the People's Army was fighting fiercely with the Central Army, the Romanian troops on both wings were not idle either. Under the leadership of Lieutenant General Mandive, commander of the third division, and Lieutenant General Ankodar, commander of the first Guards Division, they attacked Monoul fiercely.
