In the sky above the small city of Monoor, the solemn atmosphere seemed to be about to turn into substance, making people breathless.

Of course, it was the Hungarian People's Army led by Rundelier that made the atmosphere so solemn, and in fact General Salamik in Monol had already received the news before the Hungarian army was ready to leave the city. His Excellency the Admiral immediately ordered the troops building the fortifications to speed up, so that after nearly a day and night of rush repairs, the fortifications built in Romania had begun to take shape.

When Rundelier arrived in Monor with the People's Army, he was presented with a series of large and small fortifications. On the front are barbed wire, trenches, communication trenches, etc., and on the sides there are firing points, machine-gun positions, flank counterattack trenches, etc. As for the artillery positions and observation balloons in the back, it is not enough to explain them one by one.

So when he saw the rolling Romanian position, Rundelier gasped. He knew that it would only take about two days for the Romanians to arrive here, and he didn't expect it to be completed so soon. There are still places where the excavated dirt is exposed, but this is no longer relevant for defense.

While Landelier was observing the Romanian positions, Admiral Salamik was also in a well-placed observation post, checking the performance of the Hungarian People's Army. Watch as the Hungarian soldiers, under the command of their own officers, begin to build basic fortifications, while next to them there are people singing songs to cheer them up. His Excellency the Admiral put down the binoculars in his hand and said with a smile: "The morale is good, and the spirit is better than during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. ”

Yes, the Hungarian People's Army is also assessed in his eyes. Well-equipped and well-trained, in the opinion of Admiral Salamik, it is too far from this Hungarian army, and at the moment it is only a good morale. The only thing that made him a little jealous was the strength of the enemy. The 240,000 army has achieved three to one with them in terms of strength, which is what makes him feel a little jealous.

Yes, no matter what era it is, the side with absolute superiority in forces occupies the initiative. This is also the reason why Admiral Salamik led Rundelier's People's Army out of Budapest. In the defense of the city, the Hungarian Revolutionary Government was able to hold off the Romanian advance by virtue of its huge superiority in troops. Even if it can't be stopped, at least it will cause a lot of losses to the Romanian army.

And this intervention operation, Admiral Salamik does not want to let himself lose too much, and he will not be able to explain it to the country. So luring the Hungarian army out became his only option.

However, although there were too many Hungarian troops this time, Salamik was jealous, but he was not afraid at all. For this battle, Salamik prepared a lot of good things to entertain these Hungarians.

After a calm night, the battle between the two sides is finally about to begin.

Early in the morning, the Hungarian artillerymen, located behind the positions, turned on the horns of the battle, and dense thunder sounded from the rear. This time, Landreel did not have many artillery units, but this was the essence of the remaining Austro-Hungarian army, and the Kosda heavy artillery it was equipped with was also famous in Europe.

And the Romanian artillery, which was their opponent, was not a vegetarian, and the 210 and 240 large-caliber heavy guns they were equipped with immediately responded strongly. You must know that in addition to the small number of 280 large-caliber train guns, these 210 and 240 large-caliber heavy guns are the treasures of the Romanian Army.

These heavy artillery regiments, which had participated in the Balkan War and had just ended World War I, gave the Bulgarians, Austria-Hungary, and Germans a taste of their power. Not to mention the artillery training with these heavy artillery for more than ten years, it is almost exhausted. So for the heavy artillery of the Hungarian People's Army, the Romanian heavy gunners were not afraid at all.

The heavy artillery of both sides crossed the position with a fearless attitude, and kept firing fiercely at the artillery positions of the opponents who were observed.

At a heavy artillery position in Bulgaria, the soldiers were loading the heavy artillery in front of them with shells, while the officers kept urging: "Hurry up, get down these Romanian dogs, and let them know how powerful our revolutionary soldiers are." ”

At this time, a low whistling sound came from far and near, and the officer, who had served as an artillery officer for many years, immediately changed his complexion: "Run, shell." ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the soldier to react, he immediately ran to the side with all his strength. He remembered very well that there was an anti-artillery hole there. Although it can't block a direct hit, it can at least avoid the impact of the artillery.

The soldiers, who were shocked by the officer's yelling, immediately broke out in a cold sweat when they saw the officer's actions, and everyone immediately scattered and fled, and the organic spirit immediately ran after the officer.

It's just that the people can't outrun the shell, and when they just run two steps, a large-caliber shell falls directly on the side of the gun position. Only a violent explosion sounded, and a Kosda 210 caliber cannon on the gun position directly disintegrated. The soldiers, who had not had time to escape from the gun emplacement, disappeared immediately. The soldiers didn't even have time to scream out and said goodbye to this world.

Scattered broken parts are like shrapnel, indiscriminately attacking the surrounding area. Two huge metal wheels, one fell in the woods, knocking down several bowl-sized trees in an instant, and the other fell into the nearby farmland, plowing the soil in the field into a deep mark. The broken barrel of the cannon is like a heavy hammer, striking everything around it.

In the face of the secondary metal storm caused by the shelling, the soldiers who fled in all directions could not dodge, and many fell to the ground silently.

And the officer who was the first to dodge failed to run into the artillery hole. He was hit in the leg by a large piece of shrapnel more than ten meters away from the anti-artillery hole, and the shrapnel that was speeding at high speed cut off his left calf from his leg like a sharp knife. The spurt of blood stained the dirt beneath his feet red.

The officer could only scream while pinching the position of the broken leg to prevent himself from dying of excessive bleeding. At the same time, I also prayed in my heart that the medical rescue team would come soon.

Scenes like this are common in heavy artillery fires from both sides. Now the comparison is the ability of the heavy artillery of both sides to endure, and whoever loses will lose control of the artillery fire on the battlefield.

However, as the inferior side in the number of artillery, the commander of the Hungarian People's Army, Landreel, was a little unbreathable.

"We can't go on like this, our heavy artillery is completely on the inferior side. If we really have to divide the winners and losers, we don't have a good chance of winning. ”

After saying a word to the commissar beside him, Landlier picked up the field phone and said: "I order, immediately launch an attack on the enemy's position. ”

While the shelling was still going on both sides, the Hungarian People's Army launched a rare attack.

Next, it is necessary to look at the performance of the Romanian army.
