Chapter 1098 - Fight hard
The reconnaissance battalion withdrew more than 1,000 meters one after another to stabilize its position, and they were not far from Yang Mingzhi's position.
Balzen pragmatically did not report to his superiors that they had killed the "big officer", but described it as "an officer who fell in a volley of platoon guns from a company, along with his guards."
Yang Mingzhi was a little unhappy, and he himself was no longer on the scene, so he had to listen to Balzen's words.
He ordered: "The reconnaissance battalion continues to investigate, but it is not allowed to open fire again, and it is not allowed to sneak attack at night, and it is ambushed and awaiting orders." ”
The guy who was suspected of being a high-ranking officer was at least injured, and in short, Balzen's decapitation operation was more important to contain than to kill the enemy. In such a situation, the Romanian army will also take Slavdzic as an offensive target! After all, only if they dare to go deep into the city, they will have a chance to achieve the results of the war at a small cost!
On the Romanian side, their situation is really terrible.
The regimental commander Chobanu was indeed lucky, and when the bullets hit, there happened to be two guards covering his body with flesh and blood. However, the barrage was too dense, and his left arm was hit by two bullets, and the powerful kinetic energy of the Mauser bullet directly shattered the bones and tore the muscles, and his entire left forearm was torn off.
In this era, there was no such thing as suturing limbs, and in the battlefield, military doctors could only tie their arms with cable ties to stop the bleeding.
Even so, Chobanu lost a lot of blood and was in a trance.
The infantry regiment caused this incident, which really shook the heart of the entire army. Now everyone knows that the so-called friendly forces are fake enemies, but what about the Bovisescu regiment all the time? News of the annihilation of that army quickly began to circulate in the army.
The army had a tendency to collapse and chaos, and at this time, the deputy regimental commander Vladscu stood up to act as the commander of the regiment, which stabilized the morale of the army.
After this attack by the enemy, Vladscu was also confused, and he had to order his troops to immediately set up a ring of defense, placing the baggage in the middle, and aiming the muzzle mainly at the forest. According to previous intelligence, the Russians defeated the defenders of the city, and the friendly forces were ordered to retake the city, but they disappeared into the forest.
Vladscu also knew that another infantry regiment and artillery regiment were also heading here, especially the moving division headquarters, and the division commander was still waiting for good news! How do I report now?
Vladscu had no choice but to bite the bullet and sent a very realistic telegram to the division commander Grisescu.
"The 97th Infantry Regiment entered the western forest, and our unit was attacked by guerrillas, and the regiment commander was seriously wounded. Our department found no trace of the 64th Infantry Regiment, and our department estimated that it had been completely wiped out! ”
The message exploded, hitting Grisescu in the heart like a bullet. He didn't believe it at first, and even folded the newspaper a few times and tore it off.
However, after his follow-up telegram was sent, he received a more detailed and worse reply.
Grisescu refused to believe all this, he did not believe that Bovisescu and his 2,000 men had been wiped out. He even did not believe that the Russians would disguise themselves as their own and carry out a decapitatory sneak attack on the commander.
The information was so sensational that he roared into the air at the divisional headquarters in the wilderness: "This group of officers is an idiot! The formed line of defense was easily broken by the Russians! The Russians fled for several days, but they ran out of food and couldn't catch up! Catch up with them and be wiped out! Is my subordinates such an idiot? ”
The staff officers saw such an angry division commander, no one dissuaded them, and everyone just bowed their heads silently, waiting for the commander to vent his anger.
Grisescu's heart was not at all calm after a thunderous outburst, and he shouted at the telegraph operator: "Give me orders to the artillery regiments, let them whip the horses and speed up the artillery march!" Then, he directly gave Dmitriscu, the commander of the 56th Infantry Regiment of the Romanian Army, who was escorting the division headquarters, to speed up the advance as soon as possible and make peace with the 97th Regiment on the front line.
The entire 6th Division of the Romanian Army seemed to advance quickly, but nature seriously delayed its march. The so-called roads they traveled on, many wildernesses, and the weeds half a meter high especially slowed down the speed of the baggage wagons, but the horses were able to graze as they went.
Fortunately, they finally found the road at four o'clock in the afternoon, and by studying the map, Grisescu determined that the road would go west and reach Slavzich!
The rest of the journey was very smooth, and the long march had no choice but to do a lot of physical damage to the soldiers. Many soldiers had blisters on the soles of their feet, and their movement speed naturally slowed down, and many even had to stop and let the military doctor treat the soles of their bloody feet......
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the soldiers of the 6th Division, who had been struggling to move, finally reconciled with the Chobanu regiment.
The division commander was anxious to confirm whether this was true, and when he saw Chobanu, who was in a state of shock, had been cut in half and had countless bandages, he was completely convinced of the disgusting experience of this unit.
He didn't roar at the deputy head Vladscu anymore, but asked coldly: "Where is Bovisescu's regiment?" ”
Vladscu shook his head: "We don't know! Perhaps, they are in the city to the west, alive alive, alive already dead. Perhaps, there is some kind of mysterious power in this forest, and if you enter it, you will die! ”
"It's the partisan forces of the Russians! Your telegram reports that you heard the sound of the enemy's submachine guns, is this true? ”
"It's true! We still have a group of wounded, and the military doctor is urgently doing battlefield rescue! Judging by the warhead taken out, it is certain that it was a pistol bullet! ”
"Pistol bullets!" Grisescu's mind was a little confused, and he asked again: "Are you trying to remember, what you heard was really the sound of dense submachine guns?" ”
"I swear by that honor, it is indeed a submachine gun, and the sound will never be wrong, it is the sound of a Soviet-made submachine gun!"
Hearing this, Grisescu already understood something. He looked up at the blood-red sunset and sighed, "We don't have to wonder where Bovisescu and the two thousand warriors went, they are all dead!" If you don't die, you are captured! Our enemy is no longer that partisan brigade, but the enemy in the swamps on the other side of the Dnieper, the 284th Infantry Division of the Soviet Army! Only they can achieve such results! ”
The 284th Guards Division, the name of which was deliberately spread a few months ago, was no longer used to describe the highly combative resistance in Belarus and Ukraine.
It was a genuine Soviet Guard, which confirmed their identity as the elite of the Soviet army, and also allowed the German 707th, 715th, 722nd and 734th divisions to save some face in defeat.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Grisescuna is very self-aware. This war is not won by relying on machine guns and rifles and the number of troops, the key to victory is heavy weapons. In terms of heavy weapons, Luo Jun is too good at what is the situation.
In this artillery regiment, the largest caliber gun is only 75 mm, and the number is even smaller! Even so, the equipment of the 6th Division is considered good!
Now Grisescu was finally able to put an end to his confusion, and he urgently opened the map, especially studied the traces of the Bovisescu regiment, and made the following judgment.
That is, this infantry regiment pursued the Soviet partisan brigade, the guerrilla brigade captured Slavzich and killed the defenders, and the Soviet 284th Division in the swamps joined forces with it, and fought fiercely with the infantry regiment, resulting in the destruction of Bovisescu's army.
So the question arises, will the infantry divisions continue to march to Slavzich next? Or is it an on-the-spot investigation? Or do you ask the army group for instructions to retreat?
He knew too well the attitude of the commander of the army group, that this encirclement and suppression of the enemy's guerrilla brigade would be a great victory for Romania, and that if the task was not accomplished, the commanders at all levels would have to go to court-martial.
He can roar at his subordinates, but he will never dare to go down, let alone say a word to the commander of the group army!
However, Grisescu was really aggrieved in his heart, and at present, he was only analyzing that the enemy had become the 284th Division of the Soviet Army, which had become powerful in combat, and he was more and more sure that this was the reality.
Let your own weak troops fight the enemy, if they fight with integrity, what about their people? Did you cross the river and run? Or continue to hide in the forest?
In the midst of the contradictions, Grisescu finally made a decision that was almost a simple vent of anger - when the artillery regiment was in position, bombard in the direction of Slavtish, no matter what it hits!
These rumbling cannons are the anger of the Luo army, and they also symbolize their claims!
Grisescu also devised a strategy for the arrival of the artillery regiment before dark and the construction of the gun emplacements during the night. Tomorrow morning, fire will be fired at Slavdish, and then a reconnaissance infantry battalion will be sent to the city to find out!
