Rostov-on-Don, another important city in southern Burussia in addition to Josephgrad, is also the largest city in the Don River basin. Especially after Ukraine became independent from Russia, it was regarded by Russia as the forward position against Ukraine.

It's just that with the easing of relations between Buenos and Russia and Germany, they have even entered the honeymoon period. As a gesture of friendship, the Russians took the initiative to withdraw their troops from the front. It was only after tensions between the two sides that more troops were redeployed to the front. But even so, the entire army near Rostov-on-Don was less than two hundred thousand. And it's not yet an elite front-line force.

After the 1st Army of the Ukrainian Army entered the territory of Burussia, it quickly advanced along the road line to Rostov-on-Don. Thanks to the early cooperation between Burussia and Germany, the transportation facilities in many places in Burussia have been greatly improved. The Ukrainian army is now able to advance rapidly along these lines of communication.

Although, the Ukrainian army is far less equipped with trucks than the German army, and the vast majority of the troops can only rely on foot when they are on the march. However, the commander of the 1st Army of the Ukrainian Army, Lieutenant General Vladimir, is still optimistic that in two days they will be able to reach Rostov-on-Don. Even the 1st Armored Division and the 1st Cavalry Division were able to arrive one step ahead.

When the Ukrainian army marched towards Rostov-on-Don, the Russian army in this area also received an order to block the Ukrainian army. But unfortunately, the Ukrainian army dispatched the most elite troops, even against the elite troops of the Russian army, they did not fall behind at all. What's more, now they are only facing the second-line troops of the Russian army.

In particular, the 1st Armored Division of Ukraine, with its strong field combat capabilities, made the Russian army's blocking completely a joke. In the face of a torrent of steel composed of hundreds of tanks, the Russian army is simply unable to resist and often collapses at the first touch. This allowed the Ukrainian army to quickly advance towards Rostov-on-Don, and the Russian army's blocking could not delay their pace at all.

"General, the 1st Panzer Division has advanced to less than fifteen kilometers from Rostov-on-Don, General Carlos asks if it is possible to continue the offensive." An officer reported to Lieutenant General Vladimir.

Lieutenant General Vladimir looked at the sky, and then shook it: "Tell General Carlos to be stationed on the spot first." Tomorrow wait until the main forces arrive, and then continue the attack! In addition, the 1st Cavalry Division was ordered to rush to join the 1st Panzer Division. ”

The 1st Panzer Division is the precious unit of the Ukrainian Army, and he does not want this unit to fall into the encirclement of the Russians because it is alone. If the 1st Panzer Division loses, even if Rostov-on-Don is taken, they will lose this battle. What's more, Lieutenant General Vladimir knew that they were not really trying to fight the Russians this time by attacking Russia, but only to provoke the Russians and then find an excuse for the German Empire to go to war.

"Yes, General." The officer immediately conveyed the order.

On the afternoon of September 2, the Ukrainian army reached Rostov-on-Don. At this moment, the Russian army is still frantically shrinking its forces, trying to resist stubbornly in Rostov-on-Don.

Lieutenant General Vladimir was not a memophil either, having studied at the German Army University.

Lieutenant General Vladimir did not order the troops to attack immediately, but cleared the perimeter of Rostov-on-Don with the 1st Panzer Division and the 1st Cavalry Division as the main force, and then used the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade as the main force to train heavy artillery bombardment on Rostov-on-Don.

Hundreds of cannons, shelled from the afternoon to the evening, and I don't know how many shells were fired. Heavy shelling destroyed a large number of buildings in the city of Rostov-on-Don. At the same time, the Russian troops stationed inside also suffered heavy losses. There are still many Russian people who were not able to flee in time, and they inevitably paid a heavy price in the shelling.

On the morning of September 3, Lieutenant General Vladimir threw four infantry divisions into the attack on Rostov-on-Don. At this time, in the city of Rostov-on-Don, there were only tens of thousands of Russian troops. Moreover, they are demoralized and simply cannot resist the offensive of the imposing Ukrainian army. Although under the coercion of the political workers, they had to take up arms and fight. But it often collapses at the first touch. In such a situation, if the Ukrainian army wants to take Rostov-on-Don, it will undoubtedly be very simple.

On the afternoon of September 4, when the sun went down, the Ukrainian army had successfully captured Rostov-on-Don, and most of the Russian troops in the city surrendered to the Ukrainian army, and only a small number broke through.

Kyiv, General Staff of the Ukrainian Army. Although Admiral Maxim is close to the front line, he has been paying attention to the movements of the front line, this is the first foreign battle after Ukraine's independence, especially if all the main forces are invested, if there is any mistake, the loss is enough to make Ukraine hurt for a long time.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Vladimir reports that they have taken Rostov-on-Don!" A staff officer reported.

"Good, very good. Report immediately to the Prime Minister's Office and the War Department. Admiral Maxim was overjoyed.

"Also, tell General Vladimir that the whole army will go on the defensive, and after two days of garrisoning Rostov-on-Don, withdraw at full speed!" Admiral Maxim ordered.

"Yes, General." The staff officer replied.

Although, after the capture of Rostov-on-Don, the rapid evacuation, which made many feel that it was a pity. However, the Ukrainian military did not dare to go against the will of Germany. Not to mention anything else, if they refuse to retreat, as long as Germany does not send reinforcements, once the main Russian troops arrive, the little troops invested by the Ukrainian army will definitely not be the opponent of the Russians. Unless Ukraine can continuously invest more troops, in that case, it will become a competition for national strength. The national strength of the Kingdom of Ukraine is obviously not comparable with that of Burussia.

Lieutenant General Vladimir, faithfully carried out the orders of Admiral Maxim. In two days of garrisoning Rostov-on-Don, several Russian attacks were repulsed.

On the afternoon of September 6, the Ukrainian army suddenly withdrew from Rostov-on-Don and began to retreat at full speed towards the territory of Ukraine. This surprised the Russian army, and they were a little puzzled why the Ukrainians would retreat at this juncture? You know, they've always had the upper hand before!

However, the Russian army still took advantage of the situation to recapture Rostov-on-Don, and then launched a pursuit. After all, this is a battle feat sent to the door!
