He's surrounded by all sorts of bad news, and this old-fashioned old man is throwing a tantrum. "Damn, what is Tersvko doing, Przemyśl was captured by the Romanians so quickly."

After scolding this Tersfko, Modoksky's beard rose even more angrily. It's just that the bad news won't stop coming because of his anger, I saw a staff officer come in with a telegram, and after seeing his expression, he didn't dare to come forward at all.

And the chief of staff, General Martinkos, who happened to appear at this time, resolved the staff officer's problem.

"Give it to me."

Relieved, the staff officer hurriedly slipped out, and now the general is not in a good momentum, so let's hide to the side first.

"Mox, we need to calm down now. If even we are at a loss, then others will be even more frightened, which is very bad for the current war. ”

The words of his chief of staff, Modoksky also knows very well, he is also an old soldier, so he naturally knows how to deal with it. It's just that he knows what he knows, but when the real thing comes, he still can't suppress the anger in his heart.

There is no way that this battle is too ugly, several points will be defeated in a few hours, you must know that he is expected to hold on for half a month. Although there was an element of a surprise attack by Romania, it should not have been captured like this. However, the face of his chief of staff must be given, so Dzerfko's complexion is better than that of the previous birth.

Martinkos watched his partner lose a lot of anger, and picked up the telegram he had received from the staff officer before and read it, which didn't matter, and almost turned him back angrily.

"What, a massive enemy armored force appeared outside the city of Zamošić."

Martinkos's words immediately attracted the attention of Dzersfko, who snatched the telegram from the hand of his chief of staff and read it carefully.

Above it was a telegram from the defenders of Zamošić, stating that a Romanian armoured unit had been sent outside the city, supposedly a division, and that the defenders hoped to be reinforced.

As the commander of the Transcarpathian Army Group defending Romania, Dzersvko certainly knew the importance of Zamošić. It can be said that as long as this place is captured, the troops on the left flank will be encircled, and as long as the enemy continues to attack Lublin in the rear, then the entire right flank troops will be finished. They didn't even have a chance to retreat, they could only be divided and wiped out by the enemy.

As a commander, he naturally would not tolerate such a thing, and after some weighing, Dzerfko gave his own order. "Let the 3rd Cavalry Brigade and the 7th Cavalry Brigade go to reinforce Zamošić."

True, Dzersvko intended to use cavalry against the Romanian armored forces. Of course, it is not like some later literary works to make cavalry cut tanks with sabers.

As a qualified general, despite the fact that Dzerfko was somewhat conservative, he would never have thought that the cavalry would be able to deal with tanks.

He also did this for his own reasons, that is, to use the maneuver of cavalry to quickly reinforce Zamošić and improve his defensive capabilities. Moreover, the 3rd Cavalry Brigade and the 7th Cavalry Brigade are also the closest to Zamošić, and they are also the most threatening reinforcements, and they are also the few trump cards in his hands.

The Polish military had a total of 13 cavalry brigades, and due to the influence of Romania, although Poland still stubbornly insisted on keeping cavalry units, many armored units were mixed in.

Its cavalry brigade is subordinate to three to four regiments, and its cavalry regiment is actually equivalent to a battalion-level unit, with three regiments and four regiments depending on the unit.

General cavalry regiment jurisdiction; There were 4 cavalry companies with 3 platoons each. A machine gun company, a bicycle platoon, an anti-tank gun platoon (4 guns), then an engineer platoon, a communications platoon, etc.

Each brigade has an armored battalion with two armored companies (one with 12 7TP light tanks and one with 9 TPL medium tanks). An armored reconnaissance company (equipped with armored vehicles) and a motorized support company.

There was also an infantry battalion, the same as the battalion in the regular infantry division, three infantry companies plus a machine-gun company, each with a heavy platoon armed with three 46-mm mortars.

A cavalry artillery battalion had 12 75-mm field guns, a motorized anti-aircraft battery (2 40-mm anti-aircraft guns).

This differs from history mainly due to the increase in armor power, in which the TPL medium tank is a Polish modification of the Jackal tank. Poland after the improvement of armor (frontal armor increased from 45 mm to 45 mm), after the improvement of artillery (the caliber of artillery increased from 37 to 47 mm. ), the domestic version after optimizing the power.

However, only 139 of the tanks were produced in Poland, and only 13 cavalry brigades were equipped (with three brigades with one more company).

As a response to the Transcarpathian Army Group of Romania, Dzersvko has 4 such elite cavalry brigades in his hands, and the use of two cavalry brigades at one time is not a big deal.

Regarding Tersvko's decision, Chief of Staff Martinkos did not have any objections at all. For the danger that the left flank might encounter, it was also appropriate to send two cavalry brigades to reinforce it. As for the Romanian armored forces, they still remember that they showed heroism in the Soviet-Polish war, and the local war in Romania also showed their might.

Following the orders of Terskovko, the 3rd and 7th Cavalry Brigades began to advance towards Zamošić.

Poland responded, but what about on the side of Romania?

Inside the headquarters of the 3rd Panzer Division, outside the city of Zamošić, a quarrel was taking place.

"What, let's continue our assault on Lublin?"

Major General Bordas watched Chief of Staff Liebincol say the latest order and couldn't help but say it out loud. "My Chief of Staff, have you reported to the general about our situation. In order to continue the assault on Lublin, it is necessary to organize at most the strength of an armored reinforced regiment. With this number of troops alone, it is very likely that they will be besieged by the enemy's superior forces. ”

The general in the mouth of Major General Bordas will only be Lieutenant General Hoffmann, which is the usual title from the former armored division generals.

As for the difficulties in his mouth, what he said is also true. Although the 3rd Panzer Division later adopted the method of detouring to defend the stronghold, the long-distance breakthrough led to a sharp increase in the failure rate of tanks and vehicles. Along the way, the 3rd Panzer Division has broken down 51 tanks, 29 armored vehicles, and hundreds of other vehicles.

The equipment and troops were sparsely dumped on the 80-kilometre road from the border to Zamošić, and they were being repaired or waiting for the rear forces to follow up and contain them.

At present, the Third Armored Division has been reduced from a state of full strength to the point of losing nearly three layers. And after encountering this order for the 3rd Panzer Division to continue its advance, Bordas would argue.

And for Bordas's words, where would Liebincol not understand. It's just that he has already sent the losses suffered by the Third Division before, but the order is still being sent, so the superiors have their own considerations.

I saw him persuade. "Division commander, the superiors are well aware of our situation, and they still give such an order, they must have their own considerations, we only have the share of execution, and there is no possibility of questioning."

The truth in Liebinkor's words, Bordas himself is very clear, where the soldier has the right to question the orders of his superiors, he just complains casually.

Moreover, the superiors were not unreasonable, and at the same time proposed that a mixed aviation group would be organized to provide air cover for them.

So he thought about it for a moment and said. "In that case, then let's replenish the tanks of the mechanized infantry regiment to the armored regiment and restore its strength. Then I took an armored regiment and a motorized rifle regiment, plus self-propelled guns and anti-aircraft guns, to form an armored battle group and marched towards Lublin. And the chief of staff, you organize the remaining troops to hold the defense and wait until the follow-up troops arrive. ”

In the face of such a division of labor, Liebincol had no objection. They were not at all afraid that the defenders would suddenly rush out and launch an attack on the positions of the 3rd Division after the division of troops. You must know that the remaining troops are at least two thousand people, and they are fully equipped. The other and more important thing is the 87th Motorized Rifle Division behind them, which is less than 30 kilometers away from them and can be reached at any time.

And with the division of the 3rd Panzer Division, Bordas, with the newly formed armored battle group, bypassed Zamošić and advanced in the direction of Lublin.

Unbeknownst to him, the 3rd Cavalry Brigade had just departed from Krasne (a key town between Zamošić and Lublin). Now the two forces are rushing towards each other, and more importantly, neither side knows about it.
