"Let's go."

A Russian commander waved his soldiers to attack.

A group of soldiers, shouting and following the commander, launched a charge towards the enemy's positions. On either side of them there were the same Russian soldiers who also charged together. The attack of the Russian soldiers soon provoked a counterattack by the Romanian soldiers.

The fierce artillery fire in Romania caused many Soviet and Russian soldiers to fall in pools of blood. And in the face of such a situation, Yegorov, who was watching the battle in the rear, had nothing to do.

Although there were artillery pieces in Soviet Russia, most of them were small guns with a caliber of less than 100 mm. Although you can fight back and forth when fighting the White Bandits, after fighting with the well-trained Romanian artillery, you will not be able to find the north at all. And in terms of numbers, Soviet and Russian artillery was at an absolute disadvantage, so it was only right to be suppressed by Romania.

However, the Soviet and Russian troops were not helpless in this regard. They took advantage of the fast-moving characteristics of small artillery to change places with one shot. Every effort is made to ensure that fire support is available. However, this kind of support is better than nothing, and can only give the soldiers moral support, so that they know that the Soviet Russian artillery is still supporting them.

And the Russian soldiers, under the bombardment of artillery, continued to rush towards the enemy's positions. At a distance of close to five or six hundred meters, machine guns rang out from Romanian positions, and the lives of Russian soldiers were harvested by them.

Such a scene that was close to slaughter, Yegorov, who watched it, took off his military cap and threw it on the ground. However, in order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers in the next battle, this charge must continue.

When the Russian soldiers rushed to a distance of 300 meters under the heavy casualties, the continuous sound of rifles sounded on the position. The gunfire didn't sound as dazzling as the machine guns, but the casualties were still on top of it. The wave of Soviet and Russian soldiers' charges fell layer by layer like someone peeling an onion. At this time, Yegorov held up his glasses and stared at the situation on the battlefield.

Observing keenly, he found that many of the soldiers who fell on this section of the charge were veterans with sharp technical and tactical movements and officers with pistols.

These Romanians were consciously demoralizing the stormtrooping officers and soldiers. This shows that the Romanian shooting level is very high, which is not at all comparable to the vast majority of Soviet and Russian soldiers who have just been drafted into the army. It seems that the soldiers will not be able to use counter-fire with the Romanians, which will be a big loss.

"This is the army of the great powers, I didn't expect us to be so far behind them."

Egorov, who had summed up the lessons in his heart, felt that he had seen almost enough, and said to Smirga, who was commanding the battle beside him: "Let the fighters retire and come back, I have seen almost enough." ”

As the order for the Russian retreat was issued, the Russian soldiers, who were about to collapse on their own, fled back like rabbits.

A tentative assault performed specifically for Yegorov left thousands of Russian soldiers in pools of blood.

However, he believed that the attack was worth it, because it would save at least tens of thousands of Russian soldiers. Without this attack, how could he have seen the true strength of the Romanians.

Moreover, the Entente army, which was dominated by Britain and France, had nearly one million troops in Soviet Russia, and if it were not for this temptation, they would have suffered great losses in the future.

"I didn't expect the Romanians to be so strong now, I don't believe it at all if I don't see it in person."

Egorov smiled wryly and told Smirgar beside him how he felt.

"yes, I couldn't believe it until I fought them."

Smirga smiled and responded to Egorov more bitterly. After all, this attack is completely about sending people to death, and they are still sending their own subordinates. It's good that he can make a laughing face, but I really want him to laugh happily.

Having learned about the strength of Romania at the front, Yegorov rushed back to the command of the Western Front overnight.

As soon as he entered, Stalin, who remained behind, asked: "How is the situation?" ”

Faced with Stalin's inquiry, Yegorov answered truthfully: "Very bad, this is not Smirga's problem. ”

"Is the Romanian army really that strong?"

Yegorov's words surprised Stalin a little.

"Yes, at the front I felt like facing the Germans. No, it should be in the face of the Germans 16 years ago. ”

Feeling that what he said was a bit of a morale boost for his opponents, Yegorov added: "The main thing is that the gap in weapons and equipment is too large, and the group charge that we are good at is completely like sending us to death." ”

Hearing Yegorov's words, Stalin was somewhat silent. If it is really like facing the Germans for 16 years, then the 500,000 people of their Western Front must not be considered an advantage. After all, there are more than 400,000 people on the other side, and the gap in equipment is too large, and this battle is very difficult to fight.

Seeing the silent comrade of steel, Yegorov tried to ask: "Can we ask Moscow for some more reinforcements?" ”

Yegorov's words, Stalin did not think about it. But just because reinforcements will be required after 2 days of fighting, this will make the central government think of the Western Front and Stalin. As a qualified communist, it is not his style to seek out his superiors when he has difficulties.

So in the face of Yegorov's plea for help, Stalin retorted: "Comrade Egorov, we can't stop fighting just because the enemy has a big advantage. The central authorities have mobilized the greatest support they can, and it is time to test our military capabilities. Therefore, we need to solve the problem more by ourselves, rather than letting the superior figure it out for us. Otherwise, what is the role of the central government in sending us to lead the Western Front? ”

Stalin's words made Egorov a little ashamed.

After he became the commander of the front army, he fought the white bandit army, and some forgot how to fight a strong enemy. I became a little timid when facing them.

After thinking about it and readjusting his mentality, Egorov said: "Comrade Stalin is right, I did have some gains and losses before. Communists should not be knocked down by the difficulties in front of them. The Romanians are also not invulnerable, they must have shortcomings and vulnerabilities. ”

Letting go of his psychological baggage, Egorov began to carefully observe the battle map and tried to find a feasible way to find it.

This search is two days. During this period, Stalin ordered in addition to food and water to be sent. Others forbade to disturb the commander.

"I found it. Hahaha, I found it. ”

A somewhat haggard Yegorov shouted in the war room.

Stalin, who had just received the news, pushed through the door and asked: "Have you found their weakness?" ”

Seeing that it was the political commissar Stalin, Yegorov said with a lot of restraint: "This is not a weakness of Romania, and a small reverie of their defense." ”
