By the time a large-scale white-knuckle battle broke out in Monor, the Left Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Mandif, had reached a small village called Vano less than 15 kilometers from Monor.

When Lieutenant General Mandiff received a large-scale and fierce white-knuckle battle from Monoor, he immediately ordered: "Order to leave a brigade to protect artillery and other heavy equipment, and the others march lightly, and we will hurry to Monor." ”

"Yes"

The heralds, who had received orders from Lieutenant General Mandif, immediately ran to give orders. Then the divisions of the Left Route Army abandoned their heavy backpacks one after another, carrying only ammunition and two days' rations, and all of them rushed to Monor lightly. There were their comrades, who were struggling to resist the Hungarian attack, and who needed their help.

By the time the Right Army got the news, their vanguard had already arrived in a small town called Charles, less than 13 kilometers from Monol. However, it was the only Romanian cavalry division that arrived here, and the main force of the Left Army led by Lieutenant General Ankodal was still 10 kilometers behind.

In the same way that Lieutenant General Mandev chose when he received the news, Lieutenant General Ankodar also asked the troops to put down their burdens and go into battle lightly, and the artillery and logistics units carrying these supplies would catch up at their own speed. And the cavalry division immediately rushed to Monoor and threatened the supply lines of the KPA.

And just like that, both forces made the same choice. In their hearts, in addition to worrying about the attacked Middle Route Army, the fear of letting go of the People's Army is also one of the reasons. No one wants to fight an urban offensive and defensive battle with an opponent, which is simply an abyss that devours the lives of soldiers.

…………

Inside the headquarters outside the city of Monol, Rundelier was secretly saddened by the list of losses that had just been counted. At this time, a staff officer hurriedly broke in, he completely ignored the faces of others, and said urgently: "I just got the news that a large number of enemy cavalry has been found five kilometers behind us. ”

The staff officer's words caused the list in Landreel's hand to fall to the ground, and he stepped forward and grabbed the staff officer and asked, "Where is the enemy, you point it out to me." ”

Then he brought the staff officer in front of the battle map, and the staff officer who was dragged by him hurriedly pointed to a place marked as Kulgo, and said: "This is where the enemy's cavalry was found." ”

Rundelier has an impression of the place in Zulgo, where a river flows through it and a small hill next to it. So between Monol and Budapest, it is rare to find a good position for defence.

After thinking about it for a while, Landliel called a staff officer: "Immediately order the 17th, 19th, and 25th divisions to immediately drive out the enemy cavalry units that appeared in Kulgo." In addition, after driving out the enemy cavalry, let them do a good job of protecting them along the way. ”

"Yes, sir."

After receiving the order from Landreel, the staff officer immediately rushed to convey the order after answering a word.

Today, as if God was going against Rundelier, a figure crashed into him as the staff officer passed by the door. The two men fell to the ground at the same time, and the staff officer who conveyed the order just wanted to stand up, but found that the other side was faster than him, and bounced up with a whoosh. Before he could figure out why the man was so quick to react, the man immediately ran to Rundelier, and then a startling news reached his ears.

"What do you say, the enemy's Left Route Army has reached Bauerch, which is located six kilometers away from us. I didn't know until the enemy came to us, what they were doing to eat. ”

Landreel was stunned by the news, this was not a small number of cavalry of the enemy, but a full fifty or sixty thousand men. Such a large force appeared in his left rear, and of course he knew the consequences.

As if to make Rundelier despair, another staff officer rushed in and brought him another bad news. About 40,000 men of the enemy's right army were found ten kilometers away, and according to the direction of their march, it was very likely that the area around Kulgo, where the enemy's cavalry was infested.

This news completely broke Rundelier's inner defenses and made him feel powerless and hopeless. The enemy has formed a three-sided encirclement, and he has just fought a wave of attrition with the enemy, which is the moment of low morale, which makes him how good.

Even God could not save him from such a situation.

And seeing the dejected appearance of his commander, several staff officers who brought the news were all you look at me, I look at you, and no one knows what to do.

Under the concerned gaze of several staff officers, Landreel slowly recovered. He is the commander-in-chief of the People's Army, and there are still 200,000 People's Army waiting to take him out of the predicament, so he cannot be knocked down.

He saw several staff officers in front of him, including the one who gave his orders, and said to them, "You wait outside for a while, let me think about it." ”

After seeing that his commander-in-chief was fine, the staff officers waited outside the door. After seeing the staff officers leave, Rundelier felt a feeling of weakness and dizziness, and he immediately held on to the stool next to him to slow down, while he was thinking about countermeasures in his mind as he resisted the dizziness.

Now I am facing two problems, the first; The news of being surrounded by the enemy could not be concealed, which would further discourage the already demoralized troops, and he had to boost their morale.

the second; is how to break through the enemy's encirclement and return to Budapest.

And there was an idea in Londelier's heart that Budapest could not stop the enemy. If he hadn't lost so many troops in a large-scale battle with Romania at Monoor, he would have been confident that he would have stopped the enemy in Budapest. And now he can only lead these soldiers and find a way to escape from the enemy's encirclement.

As for boosting the morale of the soldiers, he currently has a number two to give the initial idea, that is, to use the soldiers' desire to go home and encourage them. As for breaking through the enemy's encirclement, this requires reconnaissance of the enemy's deployment first.

While Landlier was looking for a way out for the Hungarian soldiers, General Salamik was also holding back the sadness in his heart as a deployment against the Hungarian People's Army.

The arrival of the two wings of the army finally made his heart, which had been worried, fall into place. Now he had to vent his frustration, and there was nothing more effective than beating back the enemy who had beaten him before.

He looked at the division commanders sitting in front of him and said, "I have already negotiated with Lieutenant General Mandiff and Lieutenant General Ankodar. The next step is to reinforce our encirclement, and when their heavy weapons are in place, we will launch a general attack. But before that, in order to prevent the enemy dog from jumping off the wall. We need to make a coordinated attack with the two lieutenant generals when they break through. ”

"When the enemy breaks through, the pursuit corps will be formed by Major General Fergus's 5th Division, Major General Foctor's 7th Division, Major General Dortrid's 19th Division, and Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman's Panzer Brigade. Under the leadership of Major General Fergus, he launched an offensive against the enemy to contain his breakthrough operation. After that, I will be in charge of the remaining troops and support them as reserves. ”

"Do you understand?"

"Understood."

After Admiral Salamik had finished assigning his tasks, the group got up and needed to regroup their forces, distribute weapons and ammunition, and prepare for the battle that followed. The commander of the second division, Major General Doles, was a little unwilling, but thinking of the heavy casualties of his division, he finally left without saying anything.

While Romania was preparing to make it impossible for the Hungarian People's Army to escape, the People's Army, as the target of the encirclement, had already investigated the current situation.

A staff officer reports to Rundelier on the results of the reconnaissance he has just received.

"Commander-in-chief, based on what we've detected. At the moment the enemy has three divisions in Kulgo, and the enemy in Bauerch has stopped for a moment approaching four kilometers to us, and at the moment they are building fortifications. And the enemy cavalry has dispersed, which should be in charge of monitoring our movements. In addition, the enemies of Monor also have a large-scale build-up. ”

In the staff officer's account, Landlier already had in mind the deployment of the Romanians, mainly to defend the various communication arteries, and the vast rest of the area to be monitored by cavalry.

This is aimed at the KPA, which is massing large armies, because they know that they will not go anywhere else, but only through the main transportation routes.

In fact, it is true that there are still 140,000 KPA troops left, and there is no way to pass through other places, so they can only take the main transportation routes. For the time being, it seems that the enemy is guarding his way back to Budapest.

It is also the most spacious road. As the main thoroughfare from Budapest to Solnok, it's a large road that can accommodate four trucks, or 20 people walking side by side. None of the other roads were so wide, but they weren't as heavily defended. How do you choose?

Lost in thought, Rundelier couldn't make up his mind, and at this moment the staff officer said a word that made him immediately make up his mind.

"Our troops discovered a strange thing when they were investigating."

"What's the matter?"

"There were no car marks on the way the enemy came."

There were no car marks in sight, they didn't see car tracks. Landreel's brain was spinning rapidly, and there was no trace of the car, which meant that the Romanian was traveling lightly and still had a chance to break through.

Randelier, who understood it, immediately gave an order: "Order the 17th, 19th, 27th, and 34th divisions to form the vanguard, and the target is Qiulgo." The 19th, 21st, and 26th Divisions stayed behind, and the others marched with me, and we will move tonight. ”

Seeing that his commander was in such a hurry, the staff officer couldn't help asking: "Commander-in-chief, is you in such a hurry?" ”

Rundelier, who was in a good mood, said with a smile: "It's just so urgent, we can't leave time for the enemy, otherwise we won't be able to escape when the enemy is fully equipped." ”

"Yes"

With the order of Rundelier, the KPA left the defending units behind and rushed back to the rear overnight. They intend to launch an attack on Kulgo tonight in order to break the encirclement.

The large-scale actions of the People's Army did not hide from the Romanian eyes at all, and when Admiral Salamik of Monol, hearing the movement of the Hungarians, immediately ordered the pursuing corps to set off at once and hold back part of the enemy's forces. And the army led by Lieutenant General Mandiff immediately pounced and tried to entangle the enemy. And the troops led by Lieutenant General Ankodar, located in Khurk, were ready for battle.

For a time, the battle unfolded around Monoor. One side wants to go home, while the other side prevents it, leaving the two contradictory armed forces to fight each other.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, the troops led by Lieutenant General Ankodar finally exchanged fire with the enemy.

"Break through their lines and let's go home."

The sound of going home restored the morale of the soldiers of the People's Army. Guided by their families, the People's Army rushed towards the Romanian soldiers one after another. The Right Army, which had not long arrived here, did not have time to build fortifications, and they relied on the local terrain as a cover to continuously fire at the Hungarian troops rushing towards them.

The ferocious firepower was completely overwhelmed by the Hungarian army, and by this time the few remaining artillery pieces of the KPA were already in place. Fired at the direction of the Romanians, regardless of the firing of their own shells, because the commander-in-chief, Landreel, had already ordered them to run out of shells tonight. So the Romanian soldiers, who had absolutely no cover, could only endure the shelling while firing at the charging enemy.

The fierce fighting continued for a moment, and the two sides continued to fight for the place.

However, over time, the Romanian army discovered a serious problem, which was that they did not have enough ammunition. As a lightly armed marcher, they only carried little ammunition per person, and when the battle was fierce, they ran out of ammunition quickly, and now they are running out of ammunition.

When the news of the low ammunition reached Ankodar, the ambitious lieutenant general was furious. "Damn it, that's like this."

However, His Excellency the Lieutenant General could not conjure up ammunition, so he could only do it in a hurry. Faced with the fact that they did not have much ammunition, the Romanian soldiers could only use it sparingly, and this situation was quickly discovered by the Hungarian soldiers.

"They are running out of ammunition, and those who want to go home will rush me."

A KPA officer spoke out loud about the enemy's lack of ammunition. This gave a boost to the suppressed Hungarian soldiers, and each of them saw hope of returning home.

Immediately following in the footsteps of the officer, he rushed towards the Romanians.

In the end, Lieutenant General Ankodal's resistance failed, and the Hungarian army, which numbered nearly 80,000 men, broke through the barrier and fled towards Budapest.

Admiral Salamik, who was bent on annihilating the KPA here, was so disappointed that he could only look at the KPA that broke out of the encirclement and sighed.

In the decisive battle of Monol, the Hungarian People's Army invested a total of 410,000 troops, but in the end only 130,000 men were lost (80,000 for the main force, and about 50,000 troops were left to block the two flanks). The Romanian army invested a total of 180,000 people and suffered 5.2 casualties, which also greatly damaged the Romanian army. However, in the end, the victory was won, and it is believed that in the following time, the People's Army will no longer dare to think anything wrong about the Romanian army.

Although the battle was not perfect, it also met Romanian expectations and annihilated the main force of the People's Army. Then Budapest is like a ripe apple, which can only be picked by one person.
