Three consecutive days of fundraising made the Greek Army Group under the command of General Mandiff more well prepared.

Moreover, the attack of the air force also let Greece know what a modern air strike is. During three consecutive days of high-intensity air strikes of up to 4000 sorties, the defenders lost 80% of their anti-aircraft weapons. It lost 281 artillery pieces, 981 vehicles, 21 trains, destroyed more than 4,000 tons of ammunition, and suffered more than 15,000 casualties among officers and men, and more than 8,000 civilian casualties.

Such huge casualties and equipment losses have already made the Greek army resentful. Although the casualties among the soldiers were not serious, the losses of its equipment were too large, and the entire Greek army was less than 600 artillery pieces.

And at the height of the Greek defenders' struggle, a large-scale Romanian offensive began.

Outside the defensive line, more than three hundred artillery pieces of caliber of more than 150 mm were concentrated, and their task was to blast a gap in the line of defense less than 30 kilometers from Lyptocalia.

In addition to these more than 300 large-caliber heavy guns, there are also more than 600 medium-caliber cannons of 105 and 120 mm, which will also join this chorus.

In the early morning of November 13, under the order of Admiral Mandiv, thousands of medium and large caliber artillery pieces began to shell Greek positions.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The fierce shelling made the earth tremble, and the officers and soldiers on the positions of the Greek defenders felt the artillery fire of the Western Front of World War I for the first time. The heavy shelling left the position without a foothold, and the violent blast wave destroyed everything that could be seen in front of the eyes.

"Boom!"

A field pillbox was blown to pieces by large-caliber heavy artillery.

"Boom!"

An anti-artillery hole was hit, the dirt on the top floor was directly blown down, and no one escaped.

"Boom!"

A well-hidden cannon was hit, and this cannon, which was turned into parts, formed a second shock wave.

The dense rain-like shelling, which many Romanian officers and soldiers had never seen, watched the bombardment. Now they were not at all worried about their own safety, because the defenders had now decided that they had no energy to take care of them, and the defenders should now have a priority of surviving this earth-shattering shelling.

Captain Ridley, who had personally experienced the bombardment and survived the bombardment, wrote in his diary. "The shelling of the Romanians made me feel like the end of the world. My soldiers and I were terrified, and everyone in the shelter was praying to God that he would bless us through this disaster. ”

"And I have to admit that our prayers worked, and after the shelling we saw a 210mm shell on the top of the anti-gun hole, but fortunately it was a dud, otherwise I and the platoon would have been killed. It's just that my second and fourth platoons were not so lucky, they were all hit by the enemy. At the time, I thought I was lucky, but we realized that this was just the beginning......"

True, this time the Romanian shelling not only caused heavy casualties to the Greek defenders, but also dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the defenders.

The Romanian side, which inflicted such a blow on the Greek army, threw 30,000 tons of artillery shells on the heads of the Greek defenders in just four hours, although the cost was huge, but the effect was also very good.

And Admiral Mandiv's gift for Greece was of course more than that, and at the end of the shelling formation, nearly four hundred bombers, under the cover of more than a hundred fighters, pounced on the defenders. More than 100 of them are RU18 dive bombers capable of delivering bombs with precision.

This aircraft was very popular with the Navy and Army, and its role on the battlefield was far higher than that of the RU28 twin-engine bomber. Because of its swooping screech, many people have called it the Stuka of Romania. Although the performance of the RU18 dive bomber is better than that of the Stuka, its reputation is far inferior to that of the German Grim Reaper.

Just for this air support, the Air Force Southern Air Force has collected most of the bombers in its hands. The warplanes flew from Thessaloniki, Serre, Kavala, and other places, with the nearest airport on the Halkidiki Peninsula and the nearest airport from here, the Gulf of Sermai, less than 50 kilometers.

With the arrival of Air Force fighters, ground forces also began to attack the defenders' positions. Only this time tanks from the 4th Panzer Division were also mixed in.

Although the Romanian armored forces are very adept at using tank raids intensively, it does not mean that they will not use infantry coordination. Led by a large number of tanks, Romanian soldiers were able to better exert their combat effectiveness. Peerless Tang Gate fo

In the face of the offensive of the Romanian army, which was coordinated by ground and air and abutan, the Greek army was in a panic.

"Enemy tank!"

A soldier saw an R20 tank slowly moving towards the position and let out a heart-rending shout. It's just that his reminder is useless against the ground, because there are no anti-tank guns in the entire position. Not to mention anti-tank guns, not even a single anti-tank gun. Why are there no such anti-tank weapons in the positions, because there are no procurings in the Greek army.

True, at the time of the rapid development of armor technology, the Greeks considered their country's terrain unsuitable for the use of tanks.

So Greece lacked anti-tank weapons, with only 36 37-mm anti-tank guns and 48 Beuys 14-mm anti-tank guns (even fewer in history).

Such anti-tank weapons cannot stop even an armored battalion, which the whole army has, and it is impossible to concentrate them in one position. And unfortunately, there was not even a single anti-tank gun on this position.

So in the face of such a situation, let the defender commander catch blind, he could only shout loudly. "Prepare the explosives pack."

True, the Greeks now intend to use manpower to blow up the slowly approaching tanks, but they don't know enough about Romanian in-step coordination. Several daredevils who attacked were all killed before they could touch 100 meters of the tank.

In Romanian infantry tactics, the infantry needs to protect the tank, which in turn helps the infantry clear the point of fire.

"Boom!"

The R20 tank aimed its 75mm gun at a firing point and sent it into the sky with one shot.

"Boom!"

Another point of fire was sent into the sky.

Faced with a succession of fire points destroyed by tanks, the defending commander was blinded. He gritted his teeth and could only continue to exchange his life for this tank that made him old, but the attacking Romanian soldiers would not let him get his wish, and the G33 semi-automatic rifle in his hand made any Greek soldier who tried to get close to the tank unsuccessful.

And in the face of such a scoundrel, the defenders had no choice but to carry it themselves. It's just that the practice of non-stop life procrastination, where can it last.

"Ah, I'm going home!"

A Greek soldier could not stand the pressure and threw down his weapon and ran. Led by him, more Greek soldiers threw down their weapons.

"Come back, you'll all come back."

Seeing the collapse of their own soldiers in pieces, the defending officers shouted in a hurry.

It's just that he alone can't save this situation, in fact, it's not just his position, almost the entire position has such a situation. If you look down from the air, you will see that the defenders are retreating in the face of the Romanian attack.

And this is all due to the pressure given by the Romanian army. Historically

The Greek army, which had routed the Italian army and occupied southern Albania, could not survive a round in the face of Romanian modernization.

And in the face of the collapse of the Greek army, Admiral Mandiff also saw it clearly, and he picked up the phone. "General Hoffman, now it's your turn."

With the order of Admiral Mandev, on the Romanian side, an even greater roar sounded.
