Hearing this, Egorov pulled the officer to his side with his hand and asked him loudly: "When did it happen?" ”

Seeing that his face was pale and staring at him, the officer who was a little out of breath hurriedly said, "Is it 1:40 in the afternoon?" ”

"Why are you reporting now?"

"Because the telegraph of the 16th Army was broken, and the telephone lines were cut by the enemy. They sent a letter from the cavalry, so they arrived now. ”

Yegorov was a little speechless when he heard this, and now he didn't care about anything else, and this crisis must be resolved immediately. Otherwise, the enemy's front and rear flanking and his own troops will face collapse.

Thinking of this, Egorov knew it was time to prepare for a retreat. But it is definitely impossible to go like this, and a force must make sacrifices. At this time he thought of the 16th Army.

Egorov let go of his grip on the officer's collar and ordered him: "Give Smirga an order to hold his position to the death, and give time for the rest of the fraternal units to reorganize their ranks." ”

Poor Smirga was abandoned by Yegorov, his superior.

"Wait."

Yegorov stopped the officer who was about to leave.

The officer who was stopped immediately asked: "What else is the order, Comrade Commander." ”

"Send a telegram to Comrade Sklev, tell him that the plan has failed, and let him evacuate on his own."

Previously, because of the sudden situation, Yegorov was so busy that he almost forgot about the 6th and 9th armies that were still fighting in Nemilov. They must now be informed of this result, or they will most likely face a siege by the Romanian army. Of course, it is now to inform Sklev that it is unknown how many of them will be able to escape. After all, if they want to evacuate, they need to move slowly over the mountains, and Romania has been waiting outside for a long time.

After giving these orders, Yegorov was also ready to leave. He could not give the enemy a chance to capture the commander of the Front, otherwise he would be a disgrace to Soviet Russia, and no one would be able to save him at that time.

With the departure of Egorov, the big war is nearing its end. But for the Romanian army, it was time for victory.

As the Russian army retreated from the captured positions, the Romanian counterattack began on all fronts. Admiral Fereitt left one division as a mobile force, and he played all the cards in his hand.

All kinds of heavy artillery shells smashed on the head of the 14th Army, the last defending group of Soviet Russia, as if they didn't want money. Huge shells smashed on the position, making the defending Russian soldiers, like a lonely boat facing a huge storm, look lonely and helpless. It's like everyone is facing an earthquake and doesn't know when it's going to end. The deafening sound of shells exploding made many people bleed from their ears and nostrils.

At this time they knew to pray that the shells would not fall on their heads. In fact, this kind of large-caliber heavy artillery does not need to fall on the top of the head at all, as long as it is nearby, it is very likely to kill them.

A large number of soldiers lost their lives without even seeing the enemy. Such a fierce artillery fire made many Soviet and Russian soldiers worried. And in fact, when a 305 super-caliber shell fell at a distance of fifteen meters from a bunker, all the Soviet and Russian soldiers in the bunker seemed to be asleep. It was only from their bleeding faces that they knew that they were all dead.

The fierce and rapid artillery carried out for a short time, stopping only an hour.

This was not so much because Romania was short of ammunition, but because it was to facilitate the pursuit of the enemy. Because now all kinds of ammunition are open for Romania. Whether it is German, British and French ammunition of the same caliber, Romania needs it and they have it in their warehouses, and they can all pull it away. So now Romania can play the kind of shelling on the Western Front for several days, but it is not necessary.

After the artillery stopped, the positions of the defending 14th Army were in shambles, and everywhere was as potholed as the surface of the moon.

"Attack."

With an order, with the armored brigade as the lead, the second, third, and seventh divisions of the Praetorian Guard as the fist, and the other divisions as the two wings, the black pressure pressed towards the 14th Group Army.

"Fire."

In the face of the overwhelming Romanian army, the few remaining Russian artillery pieces let out a final roar, as if to tell them that Soviet Russia would not give in. However, Romanian artillery is not vegetarian, and when they see these remnants, they dare to come up and immediately return the color. The Soviet Russian artillery, which did not fire a few shots, was wiped out in this way. But in the end, they gave their infantry time.

"Shoot."

"Click~Click~Click"

The Russian Maxim heavy machine guns opened heavy fire on the attacking Romanian soldiers.

And the Romanian soldiers, who were led by tanks, mostly hid behind them.

Ding Ding Ding

Machine gun bullets hit tanks had no effect at all.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Many of the heavy machine guns that were fired were named by the Romanian small-caliber artillery, which weakened the firepower on the position a lot.

When the tank drove to a distance of 100 meters, the 37 tank guns and machine guns strafed the position again, so that the Soviet and Russian soldiers could not raise their heads at all.

And the Romanian soldiers took advantage of this opportunity and immediately pounced on them and fought with the Russian soldiers. This time, however, the Russian soldiers could not take advantage of them.

In terms of numbers, the first wave of Romanian soldiers was not small, and almost every man of them had an MP18. The MP18 with 20 rounds of ammunition is completely like a father beating his son against the Soviet Russian Mosin Nagant rifle. The 9 mm pistol bullets were invincible in the trenches, and the Russian soldiers screamed when they wanted to assassinate them.

Seeing his soldiers defeated by the Romanian army, Smirga was furious. However, he knew that he could not act rashly now, because he was still on a mission to stop the enemy.

When Yegorov informed him that the 14th Army was needed to block the Romanian army, he was ready to die. Because the enemy's planes and tanks were all over the sky at that time, he knew that he would definitely suffer this time. Their prediction was correct, and then the Russians were easily driven out by the Romanians like fleeing sheep.

At this time, Egorov informed him that he needed to hold out until the last soldier. Smirga knew that it was Yegorov who wanted the 14th Army to drag the enemy at the cost of his own life and create an opportunity for the escape of other units. And he had no complaints about this, because he knew that no one would be able to leave without a single force.

For the sake of the ideal in his heart, he is willing to make sacrifices for it. This is the perseverance of a revolutionary with ideals, and now he wants to complete this perseverance.

And Smirga's 14th Army did indeed hold its ground, even at the cost of his life, as he himself said.

So until the sun set, the 14th Army was still holding on.
