After the Romanian army captured Bletus, the Polish army led by Pilsudski finally arrived at Ostrov and Mechnets on the East Prussian border before the Soviet 4th and 15th armies. At this point, his plan was successfully completed, and the Soviet troops of up to 400,000 troops in five armies were surrounded by him on the Mazoshev field.

And when the news reached Minsk, Tukhachevsky was stunned. Lenin and others, who had been following the war in Moscow, immediately sent him a telegram when they heard the news, demanding that the besieged Soviet Russian army be rescued at any cost.

So Tukhachevsky immediately dispatched troops to prepare to rescue the besieged Soviet troops. The 3rd, 7th, 9th, and 17th armies were forcibly assembled in Minsk and marched towards Bretts in just three days. The besieged Soviet army also organized troops and prepared to break through. A final battle will be avoided.

On August 21, the Romanian troops already stationed in Bletus were ready in the fortifications, and the Soviet relief troops outside the city were ready for the battle.

This time, the Soviet army was able to come to the rescue so quickly, thanks to the battlefield instincts of Commander Tukhachevsky. When he received the news of the counterattack of the Lobo coalition forces, he immediately realized the danger to the Soviet troops in Poland. In addition to giving the order for him to retreat immediately, he also ordered the Soviet troops in the rear to immediately assemble in Minsk. And his reaction was not unpleasant, but the speed of Luo Bo's two armies was faster. The Soviet troops in Poland could not be withdrawn due to the delay of the Polish defenders, so the rescue he had prepared had to be carried out.

That's why it took only one day for Romania to capture Brittus, and Soviet and Russian reinforcements arrived.

Seeing that this key city, which was captured by Romania one step late, Tukhachevsky immediately ordered an attack, regardless of the fatigue of the troops' march. Because he knows that if he rests for one more minute, he will give his opponent one more minute to prepare.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Fierce artillery openings are the hallmark of this era, and no one is exempt.

And the defending Romania, of course, would not let the Soviet artillery sing a one-man show, and immediately launched a counterattack against the plundering Soviet artillery. As soon as the artillery of the two sides opened, you went back and forth, so it was not lively.

While the artillery was focusing on the opposing side, the Russian soldiers, under the command of the leading officer, jumped up and charged the position. Tukhachevsky was also generous, there was neither fire reconnaissance nor tentative attacks, and the Soviet army, which was a division, launched a full-scale offensive. It's not to blame him, who let the rescuers be like fighting fires, he can't afford to delay.

And in the face of the fierce attack of the Soviet army as soon as it came up, the commander of the front-line defenders also responded calmly.

"Command machine-gun fire, intercept the enemy in two parts."

The Romanian officer on the position saw the menacing Soviet troops and immediately gave orders.

At present, in the Romanian infantry drill code, the tactics at the grassroots squad and platoon level are all carried out around machine guns, especially focusing on the role of machine guns at both offensive and defensive ends. The effectiveness of the squad and platoon commander is to command his subordinates to conduct offensive and defensive drills under the cover of machine guns. In addition, this tactic was created by Marshal Prisan and supplemented by Admiral Fereitt.

With the firing of machine guns on the position, it was obvious that the offensive Soviet troops had begun to break down. This is not because the attacking soldiers are slow, but because the interception fire is significantly increased at this distance. This is also the skill that Romania learned from the German army, and in the Somme the German army used the shooting technique of crossing the heads of the British soldiers in the front row, causing the British army to lose 60,000 men in one day. After the war, Romania learned this technique from Germany.

So the charging Soviet troops tasted the power of this combat skill, and the machine-gun bullets projectiles fell from the sky and smashed into the middle of the charging team, forcibly intercepting the formation into two sections. What's worse is that the Soviets did not use metal helmets, which made the machine gun projectile even more powerful. Many Soviet soldiers fell on the battlefield under the silent blows of such blows.

However, the Soviet army deserved to inherit the Russian tradition, and in the face of increasing casualties, they gritted their teeth and persevered, completely ignoring the casualties of their comrades.

This lifeless charge of the Soviet army put a lot of pressure on the front-line positions. As the commander, Fereit of course saw it, but he could not care about the first-line position at the moment, because the 11th and 14th armies of the enemy that had been defeated before could get closer to Brittus. The 7th, 11th, and 17th divisions intercepted the other side in an unknown strip 15 kilometers from Bretts.

In addition, the Soviet First Army, which had suffered heavy casualties, also collected the remnants and tied up to make some replenishments, and made a roundabout attack on the rear of Bletus, but they were stopped by a mobile corps composed of cavalry divisions and armored brigades. The two sides fought a battle near the Bug River, and at the moment the fighters of the Soviet First Army were repulsed.

However, Lieutenant General Vydeschi did not dare to relax their vigilance, for fear that the supply line would be intercepted by the Soviet cavalry, which would be really fatal. It is important to know that the Romanian army is very dependent on supply lines.

However, while Admiral Fereit was dealing with intelligence on other fronts, the attacking Soviet troops finally rushed to the position despite casualties.

"Quick, rush in."

A Soviet lead officer, brandishing a pistol, shouted loudly to his soldiers.

"Get them out."

Similarly, the Romanian officers on the positions were commanding the soldiers, intending to drive them away.

So the soldiers of the two sides fought together.

"Kill"

A Romanian soldier on the position, holding a rifle with a bayonet, rushed at a Soviet soldier who had just jumped into the position.

And on the other side, several Soviet soldiers jumped into the position and immediately met the Romanian soldiers who arrived,

Soldiers on both sides fought in narrow trenches, with bayonets, daggers, shovels, stones, etc., becoming weapons. As long as it can inflict lethal damage on the opponent, they don't mind using it.

A Soviet soldier here took the bayonet out of the belly of a Romanian soldier, and a Romanian soldier over there directly brandished a shovel to bring down a Soviet soldier.

In the trenches, more soldiers from both sides gathered together, each clearing their own section of the trench by virtue of their numerical superiority.

However, at this time, one of the Romanian tools on hand became a weapon of mass destruction in the trenches. The sapper shovel, as a tool for digging trenches to fortify positions, was particularly useful in trenches, and many Soviet soldiers fell on such inconspicuous tools. In addition, the MP18 submachine guns and shotguns in the Romanian army were even more powerful in the trenches, defeating the Soviet soldiers one after another.

These two weapons, which were born with the United States and Germany, were specially introduced by Romania when they saw that they had worked well in World War I. At present, seeing that they are worth their money, with the sound of shotguns and submachine guns and submachine guns, the Soviet troops who rushed into the position for a while were defeated and retreated. Many soldiers were squeezed out of the trenches, which made the Soviet officers who led the team jump to their feet but could not do anything.

The Mosin-Nagant rifles they used had a bayonet of 1.7 meters in length, which was completely unwieldy in the trenches. So in the face of various Romanian trench mass killings, Soviet soldiers were driven out of the trenches one after another.

When the Soviet commander in charge of directing the battle saw this situation, he had no choice at all, and his angry general's hat fell to the ground.

So the first attack of the Soviet army ended hastily in this situation.
