Chapter 700: Polish Campaign (3)

By the time the Air Force was carrying out massive air strikes on the enemy, the Romanian troops on the border had already crossed the border and broke into Polish territory.

The border town of Lubecha, just eight kilometers from Romania, is home to the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 93rd Polish Division, which is responsible for defensive tasks.

Faced with the sudden declaration of war by the two countries, the regiment was not prepared at all and was hit hard by the 3rd Panzer Division. At a distance of eight kilometers, in the face of the maneuver of the armored division, there was no time to react at all, and it was directly disabled.

In the face of the Romanian attack, the Polish army showed their tenacity, and before receiving the order to retreat, the Polish soldiers made full use of the terrain to counterattack.

It's just that they counterattacked, and it was doomed to be in vain in the face of the 3rd Armored Division, which had absolute superiority.

"9 o'clock, machine gun."

In a small three-story building, a heavy machine gun was firing at the Romanian soldiers who had cleared them. The Polish soldier who operated the machine gun could even see the anger in his eyes, as he had lost many of his comrades due to the previous Romanian raid. And now he wants to let these Romanian traitors know how powerful the Polish army is.

True, many Polish soldiers are now angry at the Romanian invasion. The relationship between the two countries has long been allies, but now that Romania has abandoned Poland and does not let them know the strength of the Polish army, these people will not repent. When the British and French reinforcements arrived, let them know how powerful Poland was.

Although this machine gunner hated the Romanian attack unusually, hatred alone could not kill anyone. At the first moment of machine gun fire, the soldiers of the 3rd Division immediately looked for cover and took refuge, so except for the two unlucky ones, the fire of its fire could only suppress the soldiers.

And after the machine-gun fire, there were other Polish soldiers who took advantage of the situation.

Such a counterattack did not leave the Romanian soldiers helpless, although limited by their line of sight and could not use mortars, but they had another sharp weapon.

I saw an R20 tank appear in front of the Poles, its thick armor was not penetrating by a weapon in the hands of Polish soldiers, and 75 guns were enough to destroy any point of fire.

After seeing the appearance of this tank, the machine gun obviously lost momentum, and as soon as the sound of the machine gun stopped, its shooter wanted to carry the machine gun and move his position. It's just that the Romanian soldiers, who had let him presumptuous for so long, were willing, but before they could return fire, the R20 tank aimed at its position and fired at it.

The firing points set by the Polish troops were thus eliminated.

The Romanian soldiers, who received the tank bonus, immediately threw themselves into the battle to clear the remaining enemies in the room.

Such battles can be seen everywhere in the town, as an armored division, there are not many others, but there must be a lot of tanks. The use of tanks in conjunction with soldiers for clearance is also something that only armored divisions can do. And it's not a waste, as it can quickly clear the town and save time for the rest of the battle.

As the commander of the division, Major General Bordas was somewhat dissatisfied with the clearance of the troops. "It's been almost three hours, and we're still delayed in Lubecha, so it's not going to work, we have to speed it up."

Major General Bordas's words drew the approval of Chief of Staff Leebinkor. "It's really too slow, you must know that Lieutenant General Hoffman gave us the task of capturing Zamohich in two days, if we have been like this to break through the enemy's interceptions, we may not be able to complete the mission."

True, Lieutenant General Hoffman served as the commander of the Army Group on the Northern Front. At present, the Romanian army is fighting against Poland in two ways, with the targets of Krakow and Lublin, respectively. And because the pressure on the northern front is heavier, there are more elite troops attached to it. Units such as the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Armored Divisions, which were given priority to new equipment, were given priority to the Northern Front.

And as his old subordinate, Major General Bordas, is the task of obtaining the vanguard. Since he was so trusted by the old chief, there was no reason not to exert all his strength, and Major General Bordas naturally intended to do so. It's just that it can be said that the teacher is not good, and in a small border town, he actually blocked him for almost three hours, which can be said to make his face gloomy.

Major General Bordas said after thinking for a moment. "Let the soldiers clear the buildings on the side of the road first, leave two battalions for the follow-up troops, and we continue to advance towards Zamošić, and we must get there today."

Major General Bordas said as he slammed his fist into the combat map, where Zamošić was.

Among them, the 9th Division of the Southern Front captured the border town of Przemyśl, opening a gap for Romania to seize Western Galicia. In Yaroskov, an important border town, the 5th and 11th Divisions have already taken half of the town, and the 24th Division of the enemy-Polish army has already suffered more than half of the casualties, and it is almost impossible to support it.

Major General Bordas was also a decisive man who did what he said, and as the order was given, the officers and men of the 3rd Panzer Division immediately changed their strategy and gave priority to solving the battle on the side of the road.

Of course, this does not mean that the results of the previous settlement should be handed over, but just to consolidate the results and wait for reinforcements.

However, the Third Division stopped encircling and suppressing, which made some Polish soldiers unable to recognize the situation, thinking that their reinforcements were coming, and they appeared from their hiding places one after another, trying to contain the adjustment of the officers and men of the Third Armored Division.

Leaving two battalions of officers and soldiers, the 3rd Panzer Division immediately marched along Route 17 towards Zamošić. Highway 17, the main road connecting Warsaw to Lviv, is why the 3rd Panzer Division will take the lead.

While Major General Bordas's 3rd Division was worrying about a possible overdue, Hoffman, who was in the command car, was rejoicing at the good news everywhere.

He took a good report and talked to the chief of staff beside him. "Look, Monar, our army has broken through the enemy's first-line positions and completely disrupted the deployment of the Polish army. I think General Modoksky is scolding his mother at his command right now. ”

Major General Molnar, who was the chief of staff, replied with a smile. "The Polish army is still fighting with the mentality of World War I, and its forces are basically deployed within 15-45 kilometers of the border, how can such a weak defense line block our attack. And its troops are not enough, only 210,000 troops, and they are sprinkled on the front-line positions like pepper noodles. We broke through the lines at a moment's notice, and I really don't know what they think. ”

True, the two ridiculed Poland's defense of Romania, which had only 210,000 men on the Romanian border, and was organized as the Transcarpathian Army, whose commander was General Modoksky.

It's just that the general's thinking is still stuck in the First World War, and his troop deployment is also arranged in this way, which gives the Romanian army a better opportunity to show.

So what is this General Modoksky following?
