The afterglow of the sun shone on the land, and the town of Sol was no longer what it used to be. The smoke and choking smoke envelop the place, giving the town a bit of a fairytale bleak atmosphere. And on the other side of the town, the Austro-Hungarian soldiers were retreating. But judging from their frightened expressions, they were now only thinking about running for their lives.

These frightened soldiers could only lighten their burdens as much as possible so that they could escape from what seemed like hell to them. So along the way, you can see discarded weapons and supplies, from guns and ammunition to heavy artillery and armored vehicles, all of which are abandoned on the roads and in the wilderness.

In fact, these actions of theirs can only strengthen the belief of the chasing soldiers behind them. So a larger pursuit was underway, and the warriors from the Romanian cavalry division galloped on horseback, and they approached quickly from both flanks, driving the Austro-Hungarian soldiers. It's like a pack of wolves ready to hunt, picking the best prey.

Hoffman poked his upper body out of a jackal tank and watched the harvest. For him, this battle was really a good fight, and he fully exerted the power of his armored forces.

When they arrived at the town of Sol three days earlier, the Austro-Hungarian army had already set up its defenses. However, due to the lack of time, there was a lack of fortifications, especially anti-tank trenches, which required a lot of work.

Lieutenant General Mandiv, who was their interim commander, was also experienced and immediately spotted the flaw. He immediately used his 3rd Division as a fist, coupled with an armored brigade to intensify the strike, and launched a fierce attack on the enemy's main position. The 7th Division was responsible for pinning down the flank positions and preventing the enemy from drawing troops, while the Cavalry Division was responsible for blocking the battlefield and pressing the enemy's rear.

Lieutenant General Mandiv is a brutal and unreasonable way of bullying you with few troops and support weapons, which will make the defenders uncomfortable at once. After three days of resistance, the morale of the army finally collapsed, and they scattered and fled to the rear. Now Adela is the ripe fruit in front of their eyes, which can be picked at the stroke of their hand.

Romania tasted the sweet fruits of victory, then the Austro-Hungarian army had only tasted the fruits of defeat. In the city of Adra, the commander of the 10th Army, Lieutenant General Sam, was already slumped in a chair in the battle hall. Around him were people busy preparing for evacuation, loading the items they needed to take with them onto the car, and the black smoke of burning the documents that could not take them with them was already in the air. Everyone had a more or less frightened look, and the atmosphere in the command was quite dreary.

As his partner, Major General Hans was directing the evacuation of the staff.

After arranging things in order, Major General Hans came to his partner's side. Looking at His Excellency the Lieutenant General, who looked uncomfortable, Hans said, "Sam, now we need to evacuate. ”

Faced with the Chief of Staff's words, Lieutenant General Sam did not answer, but asked him a little confused. "This battle shouldn't have been like this, is it my fault that I commanded, Hans, tell me?"

Seeing his partner's disheartened appearance, Hans replied with some reluctance: "Sam, it's not your problem. None of us expected that the combat effectiveness of the troops below would be reduced so quickly, and this was all due to the rumors spread by those damned politicians. ”

The words of Major General Hans also represent his inner thoughts. In his opinion, these politicians are self-serving guys, at a time when the empire is in a difficult time and needs everyone to work together. They cooperated with the enemy for their own selfish desires, which caused the empire to suffer even more. If he had the chance, he would definitely send them all to the gallows. In fact, Hans's ideas are very marketable in the middle and upper echelons of the army, but now the soldiers are encouraged by these people, but they are tied up.

Hans's words did not make Sam recover, but he said, "Hans, don't comfort me. I am well aware of this battle, and I am very responsible for not finding out the state of the army. I hope you can evacuate with the rest of the soldiers, I'm tired and don't want to endure this anymore. ”

As soon as Hans heard the secret 'no', his old partner had a will to die. With a quick turn of his head, he immediately said, "Sam, I can't do what you ask." You also know my ability, and I can't do what you ask for. Now it's up to you to get the rest of the Tenth Army out of danger. Don't forget, there are still tens of thousands of people on the front line who have not been able to evacuate, and I can't come up with this retreat plan. You don't want these bloody soldiers to suffer even more losses. ”

Perhaps it was Major General Hans's persuasion that worked, or perhaps it was the thought of the tens of thousands of soldiers who were still on the front line, Sam's eyes finally had some brilliance.

"You really can't help it?"

"Really, the evacuation of the headquarters has made me anxious, and I haven't been able to come up with a way to retreat from the front line so far."

In the face of Sam's inquiry, Hans told a little white lie.

"Indeed, these soldiers who fought bloodily should not accept this result."

After Lieutenant General Sam said this, he immediately came to the military map that had not yet been removed. He looked at the map in front of him and said to the chief of staff beside him: "Let the troops on the left flank immediately withdraw in the direction of the Ninth Army." A telegram was sent to Lieutenant General Van Sten of the Ninth Army, asking him to send troops to meet him. The troops of the right flank were withdrawn to Serbian territory. As long as the withdrawal of the Mulie River into Serbian territory, it is believed that the Romanians will not be in pursuit. As for the three divisions in the middle......"

Lieutenant General Sam said that he was stuck here, and with both the left and right flanks withdrawing, their end was already doomed. Lieutenant General Sam thought for a moment and said, "Let them evacuate on their own." ”

Now it will be up to them how many of them will be left to retreat to the Austro-Hungarian realm, only God knows.

"Also, send a telegram to the Sixteenth Army and tell them about our decision."

The 16th Army did not want to be overwhelmed by the defeated troops, then they would definitely retreat. At present, the only one that can be used as a line of defense is the Tisza River, and I believe they will know these basic common sense.

Lieutenant General Sam said this, thought for a moment and then said: "Leave the guard regiment behind, collect as many defeated soldiers as possible, and we will retreat to the west of the Tisza River to defend." ”

In the face of a series of orders from Lieutenant General Sam, Major General Hans immediately asked a staff officer to take note and send a report.

Looking at Sam, who had recovered, Hans stretched out his hand and said, "Now let's evacuate, don't give the enemy the honor of capturing the commander of the Imperial Army Group." ”

"Alright, I'll go."

The two walked out of the headquarters and left the city that was about to fall, escorted by a handful of soldiers. And the Austro-Hungarian people who fled on the streets flocked away. This has saved Romania a lot of trouble in the future.

The Romanian soldiers, who had pursued the defeated soldiers, finally entered the city a few hours after Lieutenant General Sam left.

The cavalry division, which was the vanguard, did not stay here for long. Having left a regiment of troops to wait for the arrival of the infantry, they immediately began the pursuit again. Because their task was not to allow these defeated soldiers to gather and delay the Romanian army, this time they were to drink their horses on the Tissa.

And Lieutenant Colonel Antonescu was unlucky, he was drawn to wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops. Looking at the cavalry brigade as they marched away, His Excellency Lieutenant Colonel spat fiercely into the ground, and then he roared at his men. "Keep order in the city for me, and don't let me find out you're lazy."

The Transylvanian Army Group after defeating the 10th Army under Lieutenant General Sam and capturing Adela. The Austro-Hungarian Ninth Army, located on the northern front, feared being outflanked, and immediately abandoned its position and retreated to the first line of defense on the Tisza River. And a large part of the vast area east of the Tisza River was occupied by the Romanians.

For this battle, the Entente, in addition to praising the fighting power of the Romanian army, was surprised by the decline in the morale and morale of the Austro-Hungarian army. Many of its newspapers trumpeted that Austria-Hungary could no longer hold out and that victory was at hand. Austria-Hungary naturally refuted the remarks of these Entente powers. However, for the defeat in Hungary, many people in Austria-Hungary had other thoughts. Let this dualistic state become even more crumbling like a dilapidated house.
