Chapter 10023: Large-scale Battle
Chapter 10023 Large-scale Battle
November 19, five a.m., Romanian military camp.
During World War II, the Romanian regime joined the German, Italian, and Japanese fascist alliances, becoming the Nazis' most loyal thugs.
The country's combat effectiveness is not good, and it is entirely with the help of the Germans to build momentum.
In 1944, the Soviet Red Army entered Romania, and on August 23 of the same year, the Romanian Communist Party led an armed uprising against fascism, overthrowing the Antonescu regime, and Romania joined the anti-German fascist war.
The festival fell to the ground.
But who can predict history?
I can only come step by step.
"Lieutenant Gerhard Stor, here's your number." A corporal handed the microphone over.
"Okay, thanks." Haggard took the microphone, thanked him, and then asked who the other party was, "Hey, who is it?" ”
Haggard was a lieutenant in the Romanian Army who was responsible for gathering intelligence on the front lines.
"Sir, the Soviet army has the momentum of the offensive, please inform the War Department." On the other end of the line were Haggard's men, who were now being scattered around Stalin's Grad and lurking, spying on the enemy.
"The momentum of the offense? Can you be sure? Can you be responsible for what you say? Haggard asked impatiently.
He received no less than a dozen calls like this every day, and each time they ended up in nothing, and the commander of the war department almost scolded him to death, because every emergency pull was a great drain on the troops.
Haggard was accustomed to it, and he did not intend to report such news to the War Department, in his opinion, this was just another exercise of the Soviet army.
"I'm not sure, but today the Soviet artillery has been carrying shells, and I have a feeling as if a war is about to start." Said on the other end of the phone.
"Like? Feel? Are you going to let me report to my superiors like this? Bastard, call me when you have quasi-news! Haggard hung up impatiently.
"What a damn rice bucket, what time is it, the Soviets are going to attack? And with cannons. Looking at the damn fog and snow outside, did the shells of the Red Army have eyes? Let me report, do you want me to be scolded by the chief and bloody head? Haggard cursed, walking on the battlefield for a long time, emotionally depressed for too long, and drinking a little.
The subordinates did not dare to speak one by one, for fear of being scolded by the chief.
In this way, not daring to wake up his superior officers with unverified information, Hagd did not report the news he had received to the command of the Romanian Legion, and the last chance for the Romanian Legion to escape was lost.
Soviet artillery command.
"General Wang Liang, thanks to you for arranging for the scouts to conduct detailed ranging ten days in advance, otherwise you would have been killed by this thick fog." The artillery colonel looked at Wang Liang with gratitude and was moved.
As soon as the battle order is issued, the departments have to complete the corresponding tasks.
The task of artillery is to destroy the enemy's positions with artillery in the shortest possible time, and in such dense fog weather, it is often difficult to correct the shelling by visual observation.
But the superiors don't care about this, just look at the results.
If the shelling could not be successfully completed, the artillery colonel in front of Wang Liang would definitely be sent to a military court for trial.
It was Wang Liang who organized the surveying and mapping in advance, so now the colonel is very confident in his heart, and his gratitude is also sincere.
"Colonel, you can order your soldiers to fire, I haven't seen what it's like to fire a thousand guns in unison." Wang Liang said with a smile.
"Okay, no problem." The colonel nodded, and then notified the artillery positions by walkie-talkie of the start of shelling.
In total, the Soviets mobilized as many as 3,500 artillery pieces, which could fit as many as three or four football fields alone.
"Here is the artillery command, now I order, the shelling begins!"
An order was given, and a thousand cannons were fired in unison.
Boom, boom –
Through the binoculars, Wang Liang saw thousands of shells smashed into the enemy positions on the opposite side.
In the face of such a density of shells, even supermen are powerless, and Wang Liang feels the sourness of large-scale operations for the first time.
The artillery bombarded the northern shoulder of the flank of the Romanian 3rd Army and the German 6th Army, and the target area was immediately engulfed in a sea of fire, with explosions occurring one after another.
With the Axis forces disrupting their lines of communication, their temporary ammunition accumulations destroyed, and their forward observation points destroyed, many Romanians who had survived the shelling began to flee to the rear.
But it was too late, where there were shells on both legs to run fast.
The heavy artillery used by the Soviets to shell the Romanian artillery positions and the second line of defense also hit the retreating soldiers.
The Nazis, who had mercilessly killed innocent civilians, were burned to death.
"Well done!" Wang Liang couldn't help but praise the colonel and his soldiers, and the dense fog did not affect the effect of the shelling in the slightest.
According to the lookout post, all targets were hit, and the enemy positions were completely destroyed.
"Haha, it's all your credit, thank you very much." The colonel also gave Wang Liang a thumbs up and thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
For Wang Liang at this time, it was full of shock, in the end, it was a big country, and the strength of artillery like this should definitely not be underestimated.
"Alright, Colonel, it's time for me to charge with the Panzers." After speaking, Wang Liang dragged Rychagov to the 5th Tank Corps and went straight into the hinterland of the Romanian Tank Corps.
According to the predetermined plan, the Soviet Union, led by the 21st and 65th Infantry Corps and the 5th Tank Corps, launched an attack on the Romanian 3rd Army Corps.
However, two successive attacks were not smooth, and both were repulsed by the Romanian defenders.
The shelling did destroy the living forces of the Romanian regiments to a great extent, but the large-scale shelling also made it difficult for Soviet armored units to pass through minefields and difficult terrain.
Romania took advantage of the difficult terrain to wage guerrilla warfare, hiding in all corners, waiting for an opportunity to blast Soviet tanks.
In just a few minutes, six tanks have already been destroyed.
The Soviet army showed a tendency to retreat.
"Don't back down! The infantry pressed up with me, cleared the remnants, and opened the way! Wang Liang jumped from the tank, and rushed forward with a PPSH-41 submachine gun.
With such a good example, the soldiers who had been cowering and waiting for the commander to order a retreat were suddenly encouraged, and rushed forward after Wang Liang.
The PPSH-41 submachine gun, almost every soldier has one, a magazine capacity of 71 rounds, and a combat rate of fire of 900 rounds per minute, which is definitely a sharp weapon on the battlefield.
The advantage of the Romanian soldiers was gone, and after this counterattack by the Soviet army, it suddenly showed a rout.
Then the Soviet Red Army clung to it, attacked continuously, and finally crushed it in one fell swoop.
