You must know that Rakovitza has the strength of an army group in his hands, while Chaubert has only one infantry division.

So it was hard for Chaubert to imagine that Rakovitza would ask him for help.

But Rakovitza did need to call for help from Chaubert, because the outer line of defense had collapsed, and no matter how much Rakovitza redeployed his troops, it would be useless.

However, the war has reached this point, and even the Germans are powerless.

"General!" At this time, Rakovitza still cared about any demeanor, and asked Chaubert for help in horror on the phone: "The Russians have broken through our defenses, and their tanks are advancing in depth towards us!" ”

This is not a fact, the Soviet tanks did not only advance in depth towards the Romanian and German lines, but divided their troops into two routes, one advancing in depth, and the other main force advancing in the middle zone between the outer and middle lines.

This was Shulka's strategy with Major General Tokaliv.

Originally, Major General Tokaliv really wanted to push in depth and hit Odessa in one go, but Shulka did not approve of this approach.

"Comrade General!" "I don't think it makes a lot of sense to do this, although it is possible to break through two lines of defense, but it is possible for the enemy to fill the gap and build a new line!" Shulka said. ”

There are 20 kilometers between the first and second lines of defense, which is a distance of at least more than an hour for tanks to capture the second line of defense...... If all goes well, two hours is a must.

Two hours was enough for the Romanian army to react and build a line of defense vertically, and then the Soviets were only given a narrow passage that could easily be cut off again by the Romanian and German armies.

"I think!" Shulka said: "We should attack the weakness of the Romans, that is, to penetrate the middle ground as quickly as possible!" ”

This time the Romanian army was in disarray.

This is because the Romanian army stationed in the middle ground is a unit that needs to be protected and vulnerable, such as engineers, artillery, field hospitals, logistics units, command headquarters, etc.

First of all, they are not combat units, not units that fight the enemy head-on, to be exact.

Secondly, they did not think at all how the Russian army could suddenly appear in this rear, and it was a tank.

As a result, they were caught off guard and confused, and many people didn't know where to run if they wanted to.

"Block them!" Chaubert shouted orders at Rakovitza.

At this time, Shawbert's heart was already a thousand grass and mud horses whistling by, but he knew that this was not the time to curse, because his fate was already tied to these bastards.

"I'll reinforce you right away!" Chaubert said, "Hold your ground! ”

"Yes, General!" Rakovitza replied.

Then Chaubert gave the order, and a regiment from the 22nd Infantry Division went out to the front.

The reason for the transfer of a regiment was, on the one hand, that Chaubert had only a car carrying the infantry of one regiment...... These cars were also from the Romanian army, and the German 22nd Division landed here was basically not heavily equipped.

On the other hand, it was the Germans who needed to hold their offensive line.

Of course, this is the right approach, and Chaubert knows that the more this happens, the more he must maintain his defensive line, and if the east wall is demolished to make up the west wall, soon the Soviet army in Odessa will pounce on it.

However, just because Chaubert knows this doesn't mean that anyone else knows.

Unbeknownst to Chaubert, Rakovitza, in a hurry, urgently transferred the troops attacking Odessa back to the middle ground.

This is an even bigger hole: the middle line of defense is useless, because it has to face the enemy in both the middle ground and Odessa......

Petrov was not a fool either, at this time he did not know what to do, and at the moment of the order the defenders of Odessa launched a counteroffensive in the rear of the Romanian army.

If it was possible for the German army to plug the gap with the Romanian army before, now this landslide-like failure will bury as many people as they pile up.

At this time, Shulka was advancing forward after the tank...... The more you are chasing the enemy, the more you should be steady, after all, the dog will jump over the wall if you are in a hurry, and the enemy may spontaneously organize at any time in order to escape and save his life.

Therefore, most of the Soviet troops followed the tanks and advanced forward.

There were also a few troops who attacked beyond the tanks, but soon disappeared like mud cows...... After all, the enemy is a group army of more than 100,000 people.

In fact, sometimes there is no need to rush the pursuit, because those who flee in a hurry will block their way in the panic.

For example, when Shulka and others were advancing, they saw that a bridge that was not too narrow to pass through was blocked, and when Shulka and others followed the tank, it immediately caused panic in the Luo army, and then pieces of people rushed into the river desperately...... As a result, many people who could not swim drowned in the river, and those who did not rush to flee raised their hands and surrendered.

Cars discarded by Romanian troops were littered along the way, with artillery, ammunition, and supplies.

At first, the Soviet soldiers would grab the supplies when they saw them, but then they didn't even bother to look at them, and some people even laughed at their crazy behavior of grabbing bread in the first place.

"I regret it!" The thief looked at the discarded cans of beef on the side of the road and exclaimed, "I grabbed three cans and brought them all the way here!" ”

"And the piece of horse meat you cut?" Leonev asked.

"Eat a little, lose the rest!" The thief replied, "I find you right, I really shouldn't have taken it with me!" ”

The warriors burst out laughing.

What impressed Shulka the most was the capture of a field hospital.

It was also clearly an abandoned field hospital, full of mutilated limbs and broken arms, and of course the dead and the immobile wounded.

When you walk in, you have the illusion that you have walked into a slaughterhouse, except that it is not animals but people.

The wounded looked at the Soviets walking towards them one by one, their eyes were complicated, not all fear, Shulka believed that many of them actually hoped that the Soviets could help them end their suffering.

"What are we going to do with them?" The actor asked.

"Let's just not see it!" Shulka ordered: "Keep going!" ”

It was basically impossible for the Soviet army to heal them, and the Soviet army itself did not have enough medicine to treat the wounded soldiers, not to mention that these people were still invaders.

So, it's not hard to guess what will happen to them in the end.

When there was a burst of artillery from the south, Shulka knew that the enemy's defeat was assured...... That was the sound of the Odessa counteroffensive.
