When a large-scale hand-to-hand fighting broke out in Monoor, the left army commanded by Lieutenant General Mandif had already arrived at a small village called Vano, less than 15 kilometers away from Monoor.
When Lieutenant General Mandif heard that a large-scale and fierce hand-to-hand fighting broke out in Monor, he immediately issued an order: "Order to leave one brigade to protect artillery and other heavy equipment. The others are lightly equipped and march quickly. We speed up and rush to Monor."
"yes"
The messengers who received the order from Lieutenant General Mandif immediately ran to give the order. Then the divisions of the left army gave up their heavy backpacks, carrying only ammunition and two days of rations, and all went into battle lightly and rushed to Monoul. There they were
The comrades who are struggling to resist the Hungarian attack need their help.
When the Right Army received the news, their vanguard had already arrived at a small town called Sals, less than 13 kilometers away from Monor. However, what arrived here was Romania's only cavalry division, led by Lieutenant General Ankodar.
The main force of the left army is still 10 kilometers behind.
After receiving the news, Lieutenant General Mandiv made the same choice. Lieutenant General Ankodar also asked the troops to put down their burdens and go into battle lightly. The artillery and logistics troops carrying these supplies would catch up at their own speed. The cavalry division immediately rushed to Monoor.
, threatening the supply lines of the People's Army.
In this way, both armies made the same choice. In their hearts, in addition to worries about the Central Army being attacked, fear of letting the People's Army run away was also one of the reasons. No one wanted to fight an urban offensive and defensive battle with their opponents. This
It is simply an abyss that swallows the lives of soldiers.
…………
In the headquarters outside the city of Monor, Landelier was looking at the list of losses that had just been calculated and was secretly feeling sad. At this time, a staff officer rushed in in a hurry. He did not care about other people's faces and said in a hurry: "
We just received news that a large-scale enemy cavalry was found five kilometers behind us."
The staff officer's words caused Landelier to drop the list in his hand. He stepped forward and grabbed the staff officer and asked, "Where is the enemy? Point it out to me."
Then he took the staff officer in front of the battle map, and the staff officer who was tightly grabbed by him quickly pointed to a place marked Qiurgo and said: "This is where the enemy's cavalry was found."
Landelier was impressed by the place Gourgo. There was a river passing through it, and there was a hill next to it. Therefore, between Monoul and Budapest, there was a rare good position that was conducive to defense.
After Landelier thought for a while, he called a staff officer: "Immediately order the 17th Division, 19th Division, and 25th Division to immediately drive away the enemy cavalry troops that appeared in Gourgo. In addition, after driving away the enemy cavalry, let them do the following
Good protection along the way.”
"Yes, sir."
After receiving Landelier's instructions, the staff officer responded and immediately rushed to convey the order.
It seemed that God was going against Landelier today. When the staff officer was passing by the door, a figure bumped into him. The collision caused the two people to fall to the ground at the same time, and the staff officer who was delivering the order was just about to stand up.
When he got up, he found that the person facing him was faster than him, and he bounced up in a swish. Just before he could figure out why this person reacted so quickly, this person immediately ran to Landelier quickly, and then a
Shocking news reached his ears.
"What are you talking about? The enemy's left army has arrived at Borchi, which is six kilometers away from us. Only when the enemies arrived in front of us did I know what they were doing for food."
Landelier was stunned by the news. This was not a small number of enemy cavalry, but a total of fifty or sixty thousand people. With such a large force appearing on his left rear, he certainly knew the consequences.
God seemed to want to make Landelier despair. At this moment, another staff officer rushed in and brought him another bad news. About 40,000 people of the enemy's right army were discovered ten kilometers away.
According to their direction of travel, it is very likely that they are in the Qurgo area where enemy cavalry is present.
This news completely broke Landelier's inner defenses and made him feel helpless and despair. The enemy formed a three-sided encirclement, and he had just fought a wave of attrition war with the enemy. It was a moment of low morale. How did this make him
Is good.
Not even God can save him from this situation.
Seeing the dejected look of his commander, the several staff officers who brought the news were all looking at each other, and no one knew what to do.
Under the concerned eyes of several staff officers, Landelier slowly recovered. He is the commander-in-chief of the People's Army, and there are currently 200,000 People's Army waiting for him to lead him out of the predicament, so he cannot be knocked down.
He saw several staff officers in front of him, including the staff officer who issued his own orders, and said to them: "You guys wait outside for a while and let me think about it."
After seeing that his commander-in-chief was fine, the staff waited outside the door. After seeing the staff leave, Landelier felt a sense of weakness and dizziness. He immediately held on to the stool next to him to slow down.
At the same time, he suppressed the dizziness and thought about countermeasures in his mind.
Now he faces two problems. The first one is that he cannot hide the news that he is surrounded by the enemy. This will make the already demoralized soldiers even more confused, and he must boost their morale.
The second one is how to break through the enemy's siege and return to Budapest.
Moreover, Landelier had an idea in his heart that Budapest could not stop the enemy. If he had not broken out into a large-scale war with Romania in Monoor and lost so many troops, he would have been confident that he could stop the enemy in Budapest. But now.
I can only lead these soldiers and find a way to escape from the enemy's encirclement.
As for boosting the morale of the soldiers, he currently has a preliminary idea, which is to use the soldiers' desire to go home to encourage them. As for breaking through the enemy's encirclement, this requires first reconnaissance of the enemy's deployment.
While Landelier was looking for a way out for the Hungarian soldiers, General Salamik suppressed his inner sadness and made deployments against the Hungarian People's Army.
The arrival of the two-wing army finally put his worried heart into relief. Now he wanted to vent his frustration. There was nothing more satisfying than beating back the enemy who had beaten him so violently.
He looked at the division commanders sitting in front of him and said: "I have already negotiated with Lieutenant General Mandev and Lieutenant General Ankodar. The next step is to strengthen our encirclement. When their heavy weapons are in place, we will
We will launch a general attack. But before that, in order to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall in a hurry, we need to coordinate the attack with the two lieutenant generals when they break through."
"When the enemy breaks through, the pursuit corps will be formed by Major General Fergus's 5th Division, Major General Faucto's 7th Division, Major General Dotrid's 19th Division, and Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman's Armored Brigade.
Under the leadership of Major General Fergus, we will launch an attack on the enemy to contain its breakout. Then I will be responsible for commanding the remaining troops and provide support as a reserve force."
"Does everyone understand?"
"clear."
After General Salamik assigned the tasks, everyone stood up. Next, they needed to reorganize their troops, distribute weapons and ammunition, and prepare for the next battle. The commander of the Second Division, Major General Doles, was a little reluctant to leave, but
Thinking of the heavy casualties suffered by his division, he finally left without saying anything.
When Romania was preparing to make it difficult for the Hungarian People's Army to escape, as a target of encirclement, the People's Army had already investigated the current situation.
A staff officer was reporting to Landelier on the results of the recent investigation.
"Commander-in-Chief, according to what we have detected, the enemy currently has three divisions in Gourgo, and the enemy in Borchi stopped four kilometers away from us. They are currently building fortifications. And the enemy cavalry has already
Disperse, they should be responsible for monitoring our movements. In addition, the enemies of Monor also have large-scale gathering movements."
During the staff narration, Landelier had already imagined the Romanian deployment in his mind, which was mainly to defend various traffic arteries, and to send cavalry to monitor other vast areas.
This method is aimed at the People's Army that has assembled a large-scale army, because they know that they will not go anywhere else but through traffic arteries.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Currently, the People's Army with 140,000 people left has no way to pass through other places and can only take the main traffic road. And currently, it seems that the enemy is strictly guarding its way back to Budapest.
This is also the most spacious road. As the main thoroughfare from Budapest to Szolnok, this is a road that can accommodate four trucks, or 20 people walking abreast. Other roads are not so spacious, but the number of troops defending them is not as large.
There are many. How should you choose?
Landelier, who was lost in thought, could not make up his mind, but at this moment the staff officer said something that made him make up his mind immediately.
"Our troops discovered a strange thing during investigation."
"What's up?"
"No car marks were seen on the way the enemy came."
They saw no car marks. Landelier's brain was spinning rapidly. The lack of car marks meant that the Romanians were traveling lightly and they still had a chance to break through.
Landelier, who wanted to understand, immediately issued an order: "Order the 17th Division, the 19th Division, the 27th Division, and the 34th Division to form the vanguard. The target is Qiurgo. The 19th Division, the 21st Division, and the 26th Division will leave the rear, and the others will
March with me and we will take action tonight."
Seeing that his commander was in such a hurry, the staff couldn't help but asked: "Commander-in-Chief, are you in such a hurry?"
Landelier, who was in a good mood, said with a smile: "We are in such a hurry that we cannot leave time for the enemy, otherwise we will not be able to escape when the enemy is fully equipped."
"yes"
Following Landelier's order, the People's Army left its defensive troops behind and rushed back to the rear overnight. They planned to launch an attack on Chergo tonight to break the siege.
The large-scale operations of the People's Army were not hidden from Romania's eyes. After General Salamik of Monor heard about the Hungarians' movements, he immediately ordered the pursuit corps to set off immediately to hold back part of the enemy's forces. Lieutenant General Mandif
The troops he led also immediately pounced forward, trying to entangle the enemy. The troops led by Lieutenant General Ankodar in Qiurgo were well prepared.
For a time, fighting broke out around Monoul. One side wanted to go home, while the other side blocked its move, causing the two contradictory armed forces to fight fiercely.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, the troops led by Lieutenant General Ankodar finally came into contact with the enemy.
"Break through their defenses and let us go home."
With the sound of going home, the soldiers of the People's Army regained their morale. Under the guidance of home, these People's Army rushed towards the Romanian soldiers one after another. However, the right army, which had arrived here not long ago, had no time to build fortifications. They relied on the local
Using the terrain as a cover, they fired continuously at the Hungarian troops charging towards them.
The ferocious firepower made it impossible for the Hungarian army to rush over. At this time, the few remaining artillery pieces of the People's Army were already in place. They fired their own artillery shells regardless of the direction of the Romanian fire, because the commander-in-chief Landelier had given the order.
, requiring them to use up all their artillery shells tonight. So the Romanian soldiers, who had no cover at all, could only endure the shelling while firing at the charging enemies.
The fierce fighting continued, and Qiurgo did not stop for a moment. The two sides continued to invest their troops in order to compete for this place.
However, as time went by, the Romanian army discovered a serious problem, that is, they did not have enough ammunition. As a lightly armed march, each of them only carried not much ammunition, and when the battle was fierce, their ammunition was consumed very quickly.
, there is not much ammunition now.
When the news that there was not much ammunition was reported to Ankodar, the satisfied lieutenant general was furious. "Damn it, it's like this."
However, the Lieutenant General could not change his ammunition, so he could only act in a hurry. Faced with the fact that he did not have much ammunition, the Romanian soldiers could only use it sparingly, and this situation was quickly discovered by the Hungarian soldiers.
"They don't have much ammunition. If you want to go home, come with me."
An officer of the People's Army loudly said that the enemy was short of ammunition. This boosted the morale of the suppressed Hungarian soldiers, and each of them saw hope of returning home.
He immediately followed the officer's footsteps and rushed towards the Romanians.
In the end, Lieutenant General Ankodar's obstruction failed, and a total of nearly 80,000 Hungarian troops broke through the obstruction and fled towards Budapest.
General Salamik, who wanted to annihilate the People's Army here, was so disappointed that he could only sigh with joy as he watched the People's Army break out of the encirclement.
In the decisive battle of Monor, the Hungarian People's Army invested a total of 410,000 troops, but in the end only 130,000 troops escaped (the main force was 80,000, and the remaining troops blocking the two wings were about 50,000). The Romanian Army invested a total of 180,000 troops.
, with 5.2 casualties, which also greatly weakened the Romanian army. However, they finally won the victory. I believe that in the following time, the People's Army will no longer dare to have any undue thoughts against the Romanian army.
Although this battle was not perfect, it fulfilled Romania's expectations and annihilated the main force of the People's Army. Next, Budapest exuded the fragrance like a ripe apple, which can only be picked by people.
