While the air force carried out large-scale air strikes against the enemy, the Romanian army on the border had already crossed the border and broke into Poland.
The border town of Lubeca is only eight kilometers away from Romania. The 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Polish 93rd Division is stationed here and is responsible for defensive tasks.
Faced with the sudden declaration of war between the two countries, the regiment was not prepared at all and was violently attacked by the 3rd Armored Division. At a distance of eight kilometers, there was no time to react in front of the maneuver of the armored division, and it was directly disabled.
.
In the face of the Romanian invasion, the Polish army showed their tenacity. Before receiving the order to retreat, the Polish soldiers made full use of the terrain to fight back.
However, their counterattack was destined to be in vain when faced with the 3rd Armored Division, which had absolutely superior strength.
"9 o'clock, machine gun."
In a three-story building, a heavy machine gun was firing at the Romanian soldiers who were clearing them. The Polish soldier operating this machine gun could even see the anger in his eyes. The previous Romanian army's surprise attack,
He lost many comrades. Now he wants to let these Romanian traitors know how powerful the Polish army is.
Yes, many Polish soldiers are now angry about Romania's invasion. The two countries have been allies for a long time, but now that Romania has abandoned Poland and does not let them know the power of the Polish army, these people will not regret it. Wait until Britain and France
When the reinforcements arrived, we also wanted to let them know how powerful Poland was.
Although this machine gunner hated the Romanian attack very much, hatred alone could not kill anyone. As soon as his machine gun fired, the soldiers of the 3rd Division immediately looked for bunkers to hide, so except for the two unlucky ones,
Except for the eggs, the firepower of its shooting can only suppress the soldiers.
After the machine gun fired, other Polish soldiers opened fire.
Such a counterattack did not leave the Romanian soldiers helpless. Although they were restricted from sight and could not use mortars, they had another weapon.
I saw an R20 tank appearing in front of the Poles. Its thick armor could not be penetrated by the weapons in the hands of Polish soldiers. The 75mm main gun was enough to eliminate any firepower point.
After seeing the appearance of this tank, the machine gun obviously lost its momentum. As soon as the sound of the machine gun stopped, the shooter wanted to pick up the machine gun and move his position. But how could the Romanian soldiers who had let him run wild for so long be willing? But he didn't.
When they fired back, the R20 tank aimed a shot at their position.
The firepower points deployed by the Polish army were eliminated in this way.
The Romanian soldiers who received the tank bonus immediately went back to the battle to clear out the remaining enemies in the room.
Such battles can be seen everywhere in small towns. As an armored division, there are not many other things, but there must be many tanks. Only armored divisions can use tanks to cooperate with soldiers to clear the enemy. And this is not a waste, because it can be done quickly
Clear the town and save time for the subsequent battle.
As the commander of the division, Major General Bordas was somewhat dissatisfied with the troop clearance work. "It has been almost three hours, and we are still being delayed in Lubeca. This is not going to work. We must speed up the process."
The words of Major General Bordas attracted the approval of Chief of Staff Liebin Cole. "It is indeed too slow. You must know that the task given to us by Lieutenant General Hoffman is to seize Zamosc within two days. If we are like this all the time,
If we break through the enemy's interception, we may not be able to complete the mission."
That's right, Lieutenant General Hoffman serves as the commander of the Northern Front Army. Currently, the Romanian army is divided into two groups in the war against Poland, with the targets being Krakow and Lublin respectively. Because the pressure on the Northern Front is heavier, the Romanian army is assigned
There are more elite troops. Troops such as the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Armored Divisions that prioritize the installation of new equipment are prioritized for use on the northern front.
As his old subordinate, Major General Bordas was given the task of being a vanguard. Since he has such trust from the old commander, there is no reason not to use all his strength, and Major General Bordas naturally planned to do so. But it can be said that
It was a bad start. They actually blocked him for almost three hours in a small border town, which really put his face in disgrace.
Major General Bordas thought for a while and then said. "Let the soldiers clear the buildings on the side of the road first, leaving two battalions to wait for the follow-up troops. We will continue to advance towards Zamosc, and we must arrive there today."
Major General Bordas said as he punched the location of Zamosc on the combat map.
Among them, the 9th Division on the southern front captured the border town of Przemysl, opening a gap for Romania to capture Western Galicia. In the important border town of Yaloskov, the 5th and 11th Divisions have also captured half of the town.
, the enemy's 24th Division of the Polish Army has suffered more than half of its casualties and is about to be unable to support itself.
Major General Bordas was also a decisive person who did what he said. As the order was issued, the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Armored Division immediately changed their strategy and prioritized resolving the battle along the road.
Of course, this does not mean that the results collected previously will be given away to others. It is just a matter of consolidating the results and waiting for reinforcements.
However, the cessation of the siege by the Third Armored Division made some Polish soldiers unable to recognize the situation. They thought that reinforcements were coming, and emerged from their hiding places one after another, trying to contain the adjustments of the officers and soldiers of the Third Armored Division. After being severely beaten, these soldiers
Be honest.
After leaving two battalions of officers and soldiers behind, the 3rd Armored Division immediately headed towards Zamosc along Route 17. This Route 17 is the main road connecting Warsaw to Lviv. It is precisely because of this that
That's why the 3rd Armored Division took the lead.
While Major General Bordas's 3rd Division was worrying about possible delays, Hoffman in the command car was rejoicing at the good news everywhere.
He took a piece of good news and said to the chief of staff beside him. "Monar, you see, our army has broken through the enemy's first-line position and completely disrupted the deployment of the Polish army. I think now Modokski
The general is cursing at his headquarters."
Major General Monaer, the chief of staff, answered with a smile. "The Polish army still fights with the mentality of World War I. Its troops are basically deployed within 15-45 kilometers of the border. How can such a weak defense line stop our country's attack? And its military strength
It’s not enough, there are only 210,000 troops, and they are sprinkled on the front line like pepper noodles. As soon as we broke through, every line was broken. I really don’t know what they were thinking.”
Yes, what the two men were laughing at was Poland's defense deployment against Romania. Poland deployed only 210,000 people on the Romanian border, and was organized into the Transkarpak Army. Its commander was General Modokski.
It's just that this general's thinking is still stuck in World War I, and his troop deployment is also arranged in this way, which gives the Romanian army a better opportunity to show off.
