The 9th Soviet Army fought all night that night...... In fact, it cannot be said to be a "fight", but rather a "hunt", because the Romanian army has not been able to organize a decent resistance along the way.

In fact, they are not to blame for this, objectively speaking, the Romanian army is good in the servant army, except for Finland, it belongs to the Romanian army.

The problem is that they are poorly equipped and do not have a bitter hatred with the Soviet army...... It is understandable that the Finnish army fought bravely, the Soviet Union had invaded Finland not long ago, and the hatred of the country and family had prompted them to actively participate in the war against the Soviet Union, so they could not even be said to be "servant troops", they could be regarded as real allies of Germany.

As for the Romanian army, their feud was precisely their own comrades, not their enemies...... Hungary and Bulgaria, both German servants.

It is for this reason that Germany has never dared to place these armies on the same battlefield, let alone in coordination.

So how else can the Romanian army be claimed?

But the battlefield is the battlefield, and there is no reason to talk about it.

The penetration of the 9th Army in the weak position between the two lines of defense of the Romanian army inflicted heavy losses on the Romanian army...... They lost almost all their artillery and supplies, and the headquarters were occupied by the Soviets one after another, and major generals, lieutenant generals, and senior generals of various ranks were captured and killed one after another.

But there's one that makes it special.

It was just after dawn, and Shulka and the others were still advancing behind the tank.

If there was any reliable tank in the USSR at this time, it was the T26, although it was thinly armored and poorly defensive, but the point was that the firepower was quite good and the failure rate was low, which allowed the infantry to at least have a working tank.

For example, on occasions like this, if there were no T26 working together, Shulka would have had a hard time believing that there would be such a result.

I don't know if it was because of the excitement of victory or some other reason, but the tank in front of Shulka drove for ten hours without the driver complaining that he was tired.

As the sun slowly rises in the east, the world around it becomes clearer, and the ground is littered with discarded equipment and clothing from the Romanian army...... Bullets, firearms, overturned cars on the side of the road, a few ammunition boxes fell out and shattered, bullets and shells scattered all over the ground, and even clothing and underwear hanging from tree branches.

Judging from the ashes underneath the garments, it seems that the Romanians were trying to dry them.

This can also be seen in the panic when they fled.

"There is a situation!" At this time, the long legs who walked in the front shouted: "Germans, two o'clock position!" ”

The soldiers, who were about to fall asleep, immediately woke up as if they had been pricked by needles, the infantry raised their rifles and hid behind the tanks, and the tank followers immediately passed the information to the tanks, and the two tanks stopped, turned their muzzles, and then two shells passed.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot!" Shulka heard shouts from the opposite side, in an unfamiliar Russian: "We surrender!" ”

This situation has become accustomed to Shulka and the others, because similar things are repeated all night long.

But this time it was a little different, Shulka leaned out with a few soldiers holding rifles, and found two barrel trucks parked in front of him, German-style barrel cars.

This is not surprising, German-style barrel cars can be found everywhere on the battlefield, even if this is the battlefield of the Romanian army.

The difference is that it was the two colonels who got out of the car and surrendered, the German colonel, and these two colonels still looked like they were retinue, because the door of the back seat of the barrel car was open.

The German commanders had a habit of preferring to sit in the passenger seat, although this position was theoretically more dangerous.

However, this seems to be normal, because the passenger seat has a good line of sight and can be the first to know the situation or danger...... The officers in charge want to know the situation as soon as possible, which can be said to be an occupational disease or subconscious.

These are certainly not Shulka's concerns.

At this time, Shulka was thinking, if the colonels are all retinues, then what is the rank of the commander?

Major general?

Lieutenant General?

The truth was to everyone's surprise, and in the barrel car was an admiral.

In Shulka, I couldn't help but be surprised to see a German general collapsed in the passenger seat.

"Who is he?" Shulka asked in English.

The German colonel, who was raising his hand and looking nervously at Shulka and his party, was stunned, and then replied in English: "He is General Schubert, Eugen Ritter von Schubert!" ”

"Shawbert? Commander of the 11th Army, Chaubert? Shulka was incredulous with the answer.

"Yes!" The German colonel nodded, his voice trembling a little: "Our barrel car triggered a mine, General Schubert ......"

Needless to say, the rest is because Shulka saw it all.

The Soviet soldiers cheered in unison, after all, it was not uncommon to encounter a German general, even though he was not captured or killed by them.

Shulka had mixed feelings.

It's not because he's a general, Shulka knows that the battlefield doesn't care about your rank, both the general and the sergeant have to take risks, it's just that the general will be less dangerous.

Shulka just felt that creation was confusing...... In history, this Chaubert died because the plane mistakenly landed in a minefield laid by the Soviet army, but I didn't expect that he would die because of a mine in a different way now.

Ironically, it is likely that these mines were planted indiscriminately by Romanian soldiers in order to fend off the pursuing Soviets in the rear.

If Admiral Chaubert had been alive at this time, he would have been afraid to scold these stupid Romanians again.

But now he clearly can't do that.

Then Shulka thought that this might not be a good thing for the Soviet army, because it was the famous German general who succeeded Schubert as commander of the 11th Army...... Manstein.

After the actors carried Shawt's body out of the barrel cart and put it on the side of the road, Shulka ordered: "Keep going!" ”

The group followed the tank and continued to advance into the morning fog.

In this battle, the Soviet 9th Army not only successfully rescued Odessa, but also defeated the Romanian 4th Army and annihilated 81,000 Romanians, of which more than 30,000 were captured.

In addition, there are a large number of artillery, ammunition, cars, etc., but because of the backward equipment of the Romanian army, it seems that only cars can come in handy.

Regrettably, tens of thousands of people still passed through the Dniester Gulf, and more often broke through the Soviet encirclement and fled back...... The Soviet army was insufficient, and after the main forces broke through to the middle ground, there were not many troops to complete the encirclement.

However, this is not important, because by this point, the Soviet 9th Army has already been encircled in the general direction, that is, from Kiev to Odessa, the encirclement of the German Army Group South.
