Romanian Eagle

After the Romanian army captured Bretes, the Polish army led by Piłsudski finally rushed to the Soviet 4th and 15th Army to take down Ostrov and Mesinets on the East Prussian border. So far, his plan was successfully completed, and five groups of Soviet troops with a total of 400,000 troops were surrounded by him in the Mazoshev field.

When the news reached Minsk, Tukhachevsky was stunned. Lenin and others, who had been following the war in Moscow, immediately sent him a telegram upon hearing the news, demanding that the besieged Soviet Russian army be rescued at all costs.

So Tukhachevsky immediately dispatched troops and generals, ready to rescue the besieged Soviet army. The 3rd, 7th, 9th, and 17th armies were forced to gather in Minsk and march towards Bretes in just three days. The besieged Soviet army also organized troops to prepare for a breakthrough. A final battle will inevitably be avoided.

On August 21st, the Romanian army, which had already stationed in Brites, was waiting in the fortifications, and the Soviet rescue forces outside the city were ready for the pre-war preparations.

This time the Soviet army was able to come to the rescue so quickly, thanks to the battlefield intuition of the commander-in-chief Tukhachevsky. When he got the news of the Rhopo coalition counterattack, he immediately realized the harm to the Soviet army in Poland. In addition to giving him an order to retreat immediately, he also ordered the Soviet army in the rear to immediately assemble in Minsk. And his reaction is not unpleasant, but Luobo and the two armies are faster. The Soviet army in Poland could not withdraw because of the delay of the Polish defenders, so the rescuers he prepared had to act.

That's why it took only a day for Romania to capture Brites, and Soviet Russian reinforcements arrived.

Looking at this key city that was captured by Romania one step too late, Tukhachevski immediately ordered an attack regardless of the exhaustion of the troops marching. Because he knows that one more minute of rest is to give his opponent one more minute of preparation.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Fierce artillery opening is the characteristic of this era, and no one is exception.

The defensive Romania, of course, would not let the Soviet artillery sing a one-man show, and immediately launched a counterattack against the ravaged Soviet artillery. The artillery of the two sides hit you and me as soon as the game opened, so it was so lively.

When the artillery focused its attention on the opponent, the Soviet Russian soldiers leaped up to the position and launched a charge under the command of the leading officer. Tukhachevsky was also generous, with neither firepower reconnaissance nor tentative attacks. The Soviet army, which came up as a division, launched a full-scale offensive. It's not to blame for him, who can't afford to save soldiers as fire fighting.

In the face of the fierce attack by the Soviet army as soon as they came up, the commander of the frontline defender also responded with heaviness.

"Order the machine gun to fire and intercept the enemy into two parts."

The Romanian officer on the position saw the menacing Soviet army and immediately issued orders.

In the current Romanian infantry exercise code, the tactics for the first level of the grassroots squad and platoons are all centered on the machine gun, especially the role of the machine gun on the offensive and defensive ends. The test results for the platoon leader are all offensive and defensive drills conducted by subordinates under the cover of machine guns. In addition, this set of tactics was created by Marshal Prieshan and then supplemented by Admiral Feleit.

With the firing of the machine guns on the position, it was obvious that the attacking Soviet army had a fault. This is not because the attacking soldiers have slowed their hands and feet, but the interception firepower at this distance has been significantly strengthened. This is also the skill that Romania learned from the German army. In the Somme, the German army used the shooting technique over the head of the British army in the front row, causing the British army to lose 60,000 people in a day. After the war, Romania learned their skills from Germany.

So the charging Soviet army tasted the power of this combat skill. The machine gun bullets dropped from the sky and hit the middle of the assault team, forcibly intercepting the formation into two stages. What's more terrible is that the Soviet army did not use metal helmets, which made the machine gun projecting more powerful. Many Soviet soldiers fell on the battlefield under the silent blow.

However, the Soviet army deserves to have inherited the Russian tradition. In the face of increasing casualties, they gritted their teeth and insisted, completely disregarding the casualties of their comrades in arms.

The Soviet army's desperate charge put a lot of pressure on the front line. As a commander, Fereit is of course in his eyes, but he can't worry about the front line at present, because the 11th and 14th armies of the previously defeated enemy can get close to Breites. The 7, 11, and 17 divisions intercepted the opponent in an unknown area 15 kilometers away from Brites.

In addition, the Soviet First Army, which suffered heavy casualties, also collected the remnants and got some supplements. After getting some supplements, they made a roundabout attack posture to the rear of Bretes, but they were stopped by the mobile corps composed of cavalry divisions and armored brigades. . The two sides fought a battle near the Bug River, and the soldiers of the Soviet Army's First Army have been repelled.

However, Lieutenant General Weedschi and the others did not dare to relax their vigilance, for fear that the supply line would be intercepted by the Soviet cavalry, which would really kill them. You must know that the Romanian army is very dependent on supply lines.

However, when Admiral Fereit was dealing with intelligence on other fronts, the attacking Soviet army finally rushed to the position with the casualties.

"Quickly, rush in."

An officer led by the Soviet army, waving a pistol and shouting to his soldiers.

"Kick them out."

Similarly, the Romanian officers in the position are also commanding the soldiers, intending to drive them away.

So the soldiers from the two sides fought together.

"kill"

A Romanian soldier in the position, holding a rifle with a bayonet, rushed towards a Soviet soldier who had just jumped into the position.

On the other side, a few Soviet soldiers jumped into the position and immediately greeted the arriving Romanian soldiers.

Soldiers of the two sides fought hand in hand in the narrow trenches, and bayonets, daggers, shovels, stones, etc. became weapons. As long as it can cause fatal damage to the opponent, they don't mind using it.

A Soviet soldier here took the bayonet out of the belly of a Romanian soldier, and a Romanian soldier over there directly wielded a shovel to put a Soviet soldier down.

In the trenches, more soldiers from the two sides gathered together, relying on their number advantages to clean up their own trenches~www.readwn.com~ However, at this time, a standing tool in Romania became a big kill in the trenches. Device. The engineer shovel, as a tool for digging trenches and strengthening positions, works particularly well in trenches, and many Soviet soldiers fall on this inconspicuous tool. In addition, the MP18 submachine guns and shotguns in the Romanian army are extremely powerful in the trenches, defeating the Soviet soldiers.

These two weapons, which were born in the United States and Germany, were specially introduced by Romania when it saw good results in World War I. Seeing that they are worth the money, with the sound of bang, bang, and bang shotguns and the bang, bang, and bang submachine guns, the Soviet army, which rushed into the position for a time, was retreating steadily. Many soldiers were squeezed out of the trenches, which made the Soviet officers who led the team jump straight, but there was no way.

The Mosin-Nagan rifle they used had a bayonet that was 1.7 meters long and could not be used in the trenches. As a result, in front of the various weapons of Romanian trenches, Soviet soldiers were driven out of the trenches one after another.

The Soviet commander who was in charge of directing the battle saw this situation and had no choice. The angry general's cap fell severely to the ground.

So the Soviet army's first attack came to an end under these circumstances.
