Chapter 619: The Controlled Chaos (21)

Eat delicious raw ham at the front headquarters, and its paper-thin raw ham slices prove that the chef has quite good knife skills. The British observer group www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" was not surprised by this. Looking at the armies of the world, even poor countries that cannot afford to eat food and put on a shelf have huge hierarchical differences. Only the Guangfu Army, which is recognized as the world's most powerful army, openly claims that officers and soldiers are one, and that the food of officers and ordinary soldiers is no different. The slightest ridicule is probably that the delicious ham in the Russian command came from Hungary, and that's it.

"Our army has spread along the north bank of the Danube, and the army of 300,000 is by no means hostile to the Hungarian bandits." The chief of staff of the Russian army is full of confidence.

Most of the Russian forces on the south bank of the Danube were annihilated, and the remaining troops fled to the Danube and formed a cluster on the north bank. This kind of substantive recognition did not make the British look down on Russia, and it was their turn to bend and stretch. The British have their own experience.

On the contrary, the French had an inexplicable sense of superiority, and the head of the military observer group muttered a lot of mockery with guns and sticks. The Russian commander, who is also an old fox, turned a deaf ear to such. With the characteristic arrogance of a high-ranking person, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have contacted Serbia, and they are about to send troops to attack Hungary. Romania issued a national mobilization order, and the Hungarian bandits who invaded Romania were about to fall into the sea of the army of King Qin, which was composed of subjects of the Kingdom of Romania. Our army stabilized its position here, and the 300,000 men on the northern front stepped up their attack. The Hungarian chicks won some victories by sneak attacks, and it didn't take long for them to spit out. Under siege on three sides, the Hungarian chircans will definitely be eliminated. ”

The military observer group is full of soldiers, Hungary is not big, listening to the explanation of the commander of the Russian army, the British observer group can easily sketch the situation in their minds. The Russians in the north, the Serbs in the south, and the Romanians in the east, the simultaneous efforts of the three directions can indeed make Hungary unable to take care of the end. It is also a good move for the Russian army on the north bank of the Danube to stand still, and with such a large group eyeing it, the Hungarian army does not dare to withdraw from the Western Front rashly.

At the same time that the Russian commander was describing the map of the Hungarian downfall, the Hungarian Red Army was also in session. Like the Liberation Army, all senior commanders have a large pot of rice, and the style and weight are no different from those of ordinary soldiers.

On the map, clusters of Russian troops on the north bank of the Danube are highlighted. At this time, the chief of staff, who had already arrived at the front command, stood up and said: "We are all from the army, so our words will not be considered a mockery. Those brave infantry did not hesitate to march through the night in order to engage the enemy as soon as possible. But by the time they reach the front, how much physical strength will they have to put into battle. Even if armored vehicles and motorized vehicles are bumpy again. Put on a fixed cover, and everyone can always recuperate when they close their eyes. Therefore, the actual field strength of our army is only 300,000 at most. ”

Present here are the commanders of the armored corps, the commanders of the motorized infantry, and the commanders of the pure infantry corps. As the Chief of Staff who spoke at the floor said, there was no objection to this by all. Seeing that the troops had no emotions, the chief of staff of the Red Army was quite relaxed in his heart, but in fact the chief of staff himself had emotions. Zhou Shuren and the advisers of the Republic of China made a reasonable presentation of the facts, and it took great efforts to get the chief of staff to admit the fact that compared with Britain, France, Germany, and Russia, Hungary's strength was far from enough. If the strength is insufficient, we must have the consciousness of insufficient strength.

"So we can't fight a long-term war, and after beating the Russian Maozi in the short term, we can seek neutrality." As he spoke, the chief of staff almost wanted to shed tears in his heart, and with sadness, he admonished his comrades, "Hundreds of years ago, Da Bo Ping was alone in the town of Lu, and hussars and axe infantry were crisscrossing all directions. After successfully arousing the fear and hostility of the three countries of Austria and Russia, where is Da Bobo, who was really rich in his ancestors, now? I think it's clear to everyone. ”

When the Hungarian comrades heard the phrase of seeking peace through struggle, their faces immediately showed some displeasure. It was not easy to obtain the complete independence of Hungary, and finally survived to the killing of all sides, and the bird's spirit accumulated over the years. People are really looking forward to having a good time. However, as soon as they heard the fate of Lu Da Bobo in Pingduzhen, these soldiers who had at least a junior high school education were silent.

It used to be located in the northern part of the Hungarian Slovak Republic, across the North Carpathian Mountains from Hungary. After the last partition of Poland in 1795, the Great Pobo became a historical term. Of course, the Kingdom of Poland actually existed, but the Polish king was concurrently held by the Russian Tsar.

Back in 1683, the Ottoman Empire wiped out Hungary and attacked the Austrian capital of Viena. The hussars and axe infantry of the Great Bobo smashed the Ottoman army under the city of Viena and saved Christendom. However, 100 years later, Da Bobo was ruthlessly annihilated. The first partition of Poland took place in 1772, less than 100 years after the Battle of Viena.

"Comrades, if you are warlike, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. If you are addicted to death, you can't do it! The chief of staff said that at the end, his voice was a little choked. The thought that such a powerful force could only protect itself made the heart of Comrade Chief of Staff ache as if it had been slowly cut by a blunt saw. It was precisely because Hungary was really strong that the chief of staff of the Hungarian Red Army really realized that Hungary was really just a small country. The chief of staff's eyes turned red, and tears flowed down his face.

It was not only the chief of staff who suffered, but also the comrades of the more strategically minded Hungarian Red Army. Think of how the powerful nations of the past acted unscrupulously, destroying the old world with the sword in their hands and creating a new world according to their own wishes. Now Hungary can only solve the problem through peace talks with the foreign powers. In particular, to address the security issues of Hungary......

The repair of the equipment, which was expected to take seven days to complete, was completed in just four days, and the Hungarian Air Force was fully loaded with reconnaissance in four days. As a result, two reconnaissance aircraft were dropped in the Russian-controlled zone. The British observer mission learned of this the next day, but they found that the Russian command did not react at all.

Even if they knew that the Russian army was rotten and degenerate, the British did not expect that the Russian army would be so sluggish. Like turtles, they ordered the Danube to be guarded, believing that the Hungarians, whose main force was on the south bank of the Danube, would seize the bridges as the Russians had predicted.

Some in the British Observation Mission felt that the Russian deployment was very stable, but the youngest lieutenant Montgomery, the youngest lieutenant in the army, felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart. The Tsar's grey cattle were not for nothing. During the Crimean War, the Anglo-French forces only won a crushing victory. Not long ago, the Hungarians killed six divisions of the Russian army like chopping melons and vegetables, and beat the Romanians to the point of wailing 'Hungary has committed a massacre against Romania'! You know, even now, Romania claims that Hungary has not captured a single Romanian city. To call one's own defeat a 'massacre' of the other side is not the slightest sympathy in Europe, and it will provoke great contempt from others.

At the ensign's very firm request, the Mission sent several men to the Danube to see the situation. Some Europeans refer to the Danube as the mother river, but this mother has a bad personality. The Danube River is extremely meandering, passing through many lakes and wetlands in Europe, some of which are fast-flowing, some of which are only dry channels, and some of which even exist as underground rivers.

The famous blue Danube is considered to be the famous scenery of Viena, in fact, there is not a single day of the 365 days a year when the Danube is blue. When the Danube entered the territory of Romania, it became the Yellow Danube. At this time, it is summer, and there is a lot of precipitation. What Ensign Montgomery and the others saw was a large yellow river, and the thick water rolled like an evil dragon. The surface of the river is full of whirlpools that feel sinister when you look at them. As far as the eye could see, there were no boats on the river.

"Montgomery, you're thinking too much." The captain, who had also come, said in an unhappy tone. Such an environment was a huge obstacle to any idea of crossing the river, and the Russians were extremely familiar with Romania, and field trips proved that the Russians had made the right choice. The only option for the Hungarians was to fight for the bridge.

Montgomery did not flinch from the reprimand, and walked to the river without saying a word. Squatted down to take a closer look, threw stones into the water for testing, and even pulled out a pistol and shot at the surface. Amused by this childish act, the captain sneered and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I'm just sure there's probably no way to swim across the river." Montgomery replied.

"I said it was impossible!" The captain replied unhappily.

"But the river doesn't feel as turbulent as it could be." Montgomery went on to elaborate on his analysis.

"Enough!" The captain said angrily. The Russians were not fools, they had already gathered all the boats on the river, and since it was impossible to swim alone, the Hungarians could not have made so many boats to cross the river.

Before the captain could continue to shout, Montgomery suddenly straightened up and looked across the river. The captain wanted to continue to criticize the lieutenant's pretending to be a ghost, but his eyesight was good, and he had a vague sense that something was wrong on the other side of the river.

"Retreat!" Montgomery shouted suddenly. After shouting, he grabbed the captain and began to run backwards. The captain was stunned at first, then suddenly understood what was wrong. The bushes on the opposite side are moving! In a normal world, bushes never move on their own.

Sure enough, after a minute of running, the Mission heard the sound of artillery behind it. Everyone turned their heads to see that the place where they had just stood had been bombarded with mud. If Montgomery hadn't reacted quickly enough, the Observer Mission, which did not have the ability to physically resist shells, would probably have suffered casualties.

"Keep running!" Montgomery shouted calmly, and led by example, jumping like a rabbit on the dirt and running as fast as he could.

"Ahh The captain screamed as he accidentally stepped into a dirt pit covered by grass and broke his foot.

Montgomery immediately stopped, turned and ran back. On the way, a lieutenant was also pulled, and the two came back to set up the captain and continue the retreat. The captain could not care how many injuries he had suffered on his feet, and it was important to escape from the range of the Hungarian shelling first.

After running for about two kilometers, the group finally stopped behind a small slope. Montgomery and the others hid behind the slope and did not forget to look for the enemy. The Captain had a great affection for Montgomery at this time, and was appreciative of it. Then he heard Montgomery whisper, "Come on, come and see." Right away! ”

The captain didn't have time to deal with the injury on his foot, so he crawled to the edge of the slope with his leg propped up, and the others followed. The crowd was silent at first, and after more than a minute, someone gasped in surprise. And the captain pressed his hand to his chest and muttered, "Oh God! My God!! ”

From the small slope, it is clear that some of the iron guys drove to the river under their own power, and some soldiers put something on the outside of these iron guys, and then the iron guys slowly drove into the river. The ones on them spread out like skirts and floated on the water with the iron guys. And they marched across the river.

As Montgomery and his party fled, the Iron Fellows had already driven into the water, and now they had crossed the wide yellow Danube and appeared on the other side of the river. Behind the iron guy was some ropes, and on the other side of the river were tied something to one section of the rope. In the binoculars of these people, those things look like tightropes.

The Hungarians didn't just swim with iron guys, some trucks drove up to the river and erected something from the trucks as if they were driving piles.

"They're going to build a pontoon bridge!" Montgomer said in a grim tone. The captain also suddenly realized. However, the news did not surprise the captain, whose attention was drawn to the turrets of the iron guys. It was not a ship, but a 'machine-gun carriage' that has gone viral among the Russian army these days. The Hungarian chariot was able to swim like a boat, and the captain could hardly believe his eyes.

"It's a tank!" Montgomery continued.

"What? Water tank? The captain was puzzled at first, and then felt that it made sense. The tank is hollow, and a hollow sealed tank can certainly cross a river like a boat.

"Before we came, one of the pieces of information we received from the military department was that for several months, China had sold a lot of strange steel plates to Hungary. It is said to be used to weld water tanks. So the intelligence services had a water tank plan, hoping to figure out what was going on. These things must be water tanks, these are tanks! Montgomery's voice sounded very calm, but to the emotional crowd, it felt magical.

"What now?" The lieutenant who was holding the captain with Montgomery asked in a trembling voice. There are more and more tanks crossing the Yellow Danube.

"Let's withdraw." Montgomery replied.

Before everyone could answer, they heard the faint sound of horses' hooves and shouts in the distance. The British Observation Mission, which was about to retreat, stopped again with tacit understanding. A moment later, a patrol of Russian cavalry arrived on horseback, and they were stunned at first when they saw the 'machine-gun wagon' that had crossed the river. Moments later, with a call for peace, the Russian cavalry drew their sabers and launched a brave charge at the enemy.

A few moments later, several tanks approached the Russian cavalry, and after a few seconds of planting, the tanks were gunfire and cannons, and the captain of the Mission saw the Russian cavalry being knocked off their horses as if they were cutting rice. There was an unfortunate ghost with a 20mm cannon at the neck, his brain soaring into the sky, flying high, and his headless body clutching the reins, maneuvering his horse to continue to charge.

For a moment, the battlefield became magical.
