Chapter 392 The biggest hand-to-hand battle in history
"Rush towards me."
On the battlefield, a brave Romanian officer shouted to his soldiers and immediately rushed towards the position in front of them. Encouraged by the leading officer, the soldiers also burst out with high morale and faced the enemy with fearless spirit.
Pounce forward.
The firepower on the position could not stop them at all, which directly caused the Romanian army to invade the position, and a brief but fierce hand-to-hand battle broke out.
Lieutenant General Mandev, who was observing the battle from behind, saw the troops entering the position. He put down his telescope and complained: "This is the first time we have encountered blockades. These Hungarians are not finished yet."
Major General Modelk, the commander of the 18th Division who was also observing the battle situation, replied: "This is the fifth time we have blocked the attack. In just four days after leaving Sorgotauryan, we encountered
There were five interceptions. It seems that these Hungarians are just using their lives to delay our rendezvous with His Majesty the Admiral."
At this point, Major General Modelk said with some concern: "I don't know if the middle route army led by the general will be in any danger."
Seeing the concerns of his colleagues, Lieutenant General Mandif explained: "Didn't General Salamik send us a telegram just yesterday? At present, the Central Route Army is not in danger, so we don't need to worry."
"I know this too, but after all, the Hungarian army is three times the size led by the general, which will inevitably make people worried."
Major General Modelk was worried about Lieutenant General Mandif and didn't know what to say. In fact, he was also a little worried about it.
At this moment, a messenger came over to report: "Report, the position has been captured by us, and the enemies have fled in all directions. Should we pursue them?"
"So fast."
After the messenger finished his report, Lieutenant General Mandif said with a smile: "It seems that your division has a very strong fighting capacity."
"Where, where."
After Major General Modelk smiled and said modestly, he told the messenger: "We can pursue it. Let Brigadier Soles lead the team and drive the enemy out of the area where we are marching."
It seems that Major General Modelk still knows what the most important task is at the moment.
Just when the two division commanders were happy about breaking through the enemy's blockade, a communications staff officer ran over: "Report, the news we just got is that an enemy position was found nine kilometers directly in front of us. It should be to block us."
"Mader, these Hungarians are really looking for death. This time I want to make them look good. Follow my orders and have the Third Division set out immediately to destroy this blocking position for me. I want to see if it is their shields that are thicker or mine.
Quick gun."
Lieutenant General Mandev, who was disgusted by these Hungarians, slapped the table and decided to use his own troops to get rid of these Hungarians.
You must know that in these four days, they only walked a total of 60 kilometers and only reached half of the distance. It would not be feasible to continue like this. Therefore, Lieutenant General Mandif played the best card in his hand and allowed himself to recharge his batteries for a long time.
The third division opened the way and quickly got rid of these disgusting Hungarian troops.
Facts have proved that the third division is indeed worthy of the name of Romania's three trump cards. When they faced the Hungarian army's blocking position, they defeated it in one go. Of course, apart from the fact that the third division is indeed extremely elite,
The many previous blocking battles caused the People's Army heavy losses and low morale, which also had a lot to do with it.
Although they can slow down Romania's march through segmented blocking, the impact of their defeat cannot be eliminated in a short time. Not to mention, too many of these troops are newly recruited soldiers. And Romania passed through Northern Molda
We know from the bloody lessons of the Via battle that it is best not to let these newly recruited soldiers participate in battles unless absolutely necessary, even in urban defense operations.
Therefore, the defeat of the revolutionary Hungarian People's Army was not unjust.
Coincidentally, Lieutenant General Ankodar on the southern front is also disgusted with the Hungarian troops currently entangled with him. However, the difference with Lieutenant General Mandev is that he is leaving a division of troops to tangle with these Hungarian troops, while he leads
After getting rid of the entangled Hungarian People's Army, the main force quickly rushed towards Monor.
The two commanders were worried about the safety of General Salamik's center army, and both had the same reaction.
On the battlefield of Monoor, the fighting between the two sides became even more brutal.
"Prepare the bayonet."
A Romanian officer looked at the People's Army soldiers who were about to rush in front of him, and loudly gave orders to his soldiers. After hearing the order, the soldiers silently pulled out the bayonets on their waists after firing the last bullet in the barrel.
Put it on the deck.
They waited for the People's Army soldiers who were very close to come and die. As they wished, these soldiers quickly jumped into the trenches, preparing for another fight with the Romanian army defending here.
Looking at the Hungarian soldiers rushing toward him, the leading officer drew his pistol and pointed it at them, firing off all the bullets in one breath.
Looking at several Hungarian soldiers who fell unwillingly, the officer took a deep breath. Then he picked up an engineer shovel beside him and roared towards the Hungarian soldiers. Behind him, a group of Romanian soldiers also followed the officer's example.
He took his own weapon and rushed towards the Hungarian soldiers who appeared.
On the battlefields on all fronts, Hungarian soldiers surged into position like a tide, while the defending Romanian soldiers were like rocks, preventing the spread of these Hungarian soldiers. At this time, the weapon advantages of both sides were useless, and the competition was fierce.
That is courage and courage, and Romanian soldiers who have been trained for this are not lacking.
The commanders of both sides are also constantly adding chips in order to tilt the balance of victory towards themselves.
"Let the five newly formed divisions rush over immediately, and do it quickly."
Seeing his troops rushing into the position again, Landelier ordered to the staff around him. He completely ignored the Romanian artillery blocking the bombardment between the two positions. He only had to quickly break through the position in front of him to make his plan unstoppable.
As for failure.
Yes, Landelier already knew that his plan to block the two Romanian wings had failed, but he was unwilling to use up a large number of troops and retreat in despair after the enemy's large number of men and weapons.
He wanted to win again. As long as he defeated the enemy's main force in the middle, he would still have a chance.
So under his command, the soldiers who had just been recruited from the west bank of the Danube were thrown into this battle.
That's right, the number of troops the Hungarian People's Army invested in the Monor battlefield this time was no longer 240,000 but 310,000. From this we can see the terrifying mobilization capabilities of the Hungarian Communist Party, which still only gave them a few
They have been in power for several months. If the time were extended, no one knows how powerful they could be.
On the Romanian side, General Salamik was doing the same thing.
"Order the second and third line positions to deploy troops to reinforce the front line, and immediately dispatch the 24th Division to reinforce."
"etc"
After giving the order to the communications staff officer, General Salamik stopped him again.
"Admiral, do you have any other orders?"
Facing the staff's inquiry, Salamik thought for a moment and waved his hand and said, "That's it."
After seeing the staff leave, Salamik also let go of his somewhat agitated heart. It turned out that the general still had a reserve team, which was the armored brigade led by Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman, but as a final counterattack
Salamik planned to wait a little longer because he believed that the Romanian soldiers on the front line could withstand this Hungarian attack.
When there was no one else around, Salamik said, "Hey, I still underestimated these Hungarians."
These words were like a warning to himself, or a warning. No matter what, it was the result of him underestimating these Hungarians. And now everything can only depend on the outcome of the frontline battle.
"kill"
A Romanian soldier roared with a ferocious expression and thrust his bayonet into the chest of a Hungarian soldier. The Hungarian soldier, who had fair skin and a gentle appearance, looked like a student, and fell into a pool of blood with an unwilling face. His hands were still in the air.
waving in the middle, as if trying to catch the lost life.
The Romanian soldier who had just eliminated his opponent was about to take out his bayonet and look for his opponent again when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back and a sense of weakness. He used his last strength to look back and found a young-looking man with a young face.
The Hungarian soldier was looking at him in horror, and in his hand was the rifle that was stabbing him.
"Is he over fifteen?"
This was the last thought in the Romanian soldier's mind, and then he fell in a pool of blood. Less than twenty centimeters away from where he fell, the Hungarian soldier who was killed looked at him, as if saying two things.
People will continue to fight.
On the battlefield, there are too many examples like this, and every soldier is fighting for his own survival.
With the arrival of reinforcements from both sides, a larger-scale bloody fight unfolded on the battlefield.
The largest hand-to-hand battle in the history of Hungary and Romania lasted until noon. In this hand-to-hand battle, Romania invested 41,000 troops, while the Hungarian People's Army invested 97,000 troops. (According to subsequent inspections of the positions,
, 17,000 people fell here, so Hungary should have reached the position with 80,000 troops.)
The battle ended with Romania winning, but this victory cost the Romanian army 10,000 people, most of whom died in battle. The Hungarian army also lost up to 57,000 people this time, most of whom had fallen.
On the battlefield. After this battle, both sides were a little unable to fight.
At this time, the Romanian troops on both wings were just showing their fangs.
PS: I would like to ask, in order to celebrate that I have been recommended again after a lapse of a year (a faceless recommendation), should I add more updates or not? (To be continued)
