The vanguard of the Romanian army arrived at the deserted outpost, and they planned to continue the pursuit, and to their surprise, they found that this was the road to Slavdish.

Bovinescu quickly learned of this, and when he looked at his troops, the soldiers were out of breath, but the enemy was even more tireless! He was sure that the road that the troops had found led to the target city! The enemy is indeed rushing towards the city, they have already run a long way south, why do they have to go all the way west again?

Bovinescu became suspicious, and in the midst of the situation of his troops, he immediately ordered the whole army to stop the pursuit and rest at this post.

After some inspection, he was surprised to find that this was actually a German outpost! There is also a German flag on a large wooden house! It's just that the big wooden house is in shambles, and the looters must be those Russians.

Therefore, he placed the regimental headquarters in this wooden house, and hung the military flag on the wall. The table was propped up, the soldiers wiped it clean, and the debris scattered on the ground was cleared out, giving it the appearance of a command center.

Seeing that several battalion officers had entered the house, Bovignescu immediately began a military meeting.

He sighed a little helplessly: "Gentlemen, now that the Russians have fled in the direction of Slavdish, I have absolutely no idea how many of them are there!" They should have a maximum of three thousand people! At least half of them can fight! Judging by today's engagements, the will of the Russians to fight has not been destroyed! I have to admit that they dared to take the initiative to attack us with a small force, and this spirit is worthy of admiration! ”

"Phew! I think they're just crazy! "They must have been planning to attack us, but our scouts discovered that they had to fight!" They had no idea how powerful we were, but the group ran fast enough to get away with it. ”

The words of the deputy commander reminded Bovinescu that perhaps the enemy had indeed sent elite troops to plan a sneak attack. In the previous battles, the Russians did not do less, so that the infantry division suffered some losses.

Bovinescu concluded: "Regardless of the madness or cowardice of the Russians, we cannot continue the pursuit!" The devil knows what Slavdzich looks like now! Maybe the Russians planned to hold on to the city after they got rid of the defenders, or they just gave up, grabbed the supplies and fled into the forest! As he spoke, he knocked on the table in various ways: "Gentlemen, we must be aware of the fact that on the other side of the Dnieper, there is another very strong Russian partisan force!" ”

His remarks quickly aroused the dissatisfaction of the officers.

A battalion commander said disdainfully: "Guerrillas! They are partisans after all! Their greatest strength is running away! ”

As soon as these words came out, Bovignescu slapped the table angrily: "Groniscu! You say such things only to prove your stupidity! The swamp guerrillas on the other side of the river are by no means something we can defeat, even if the whole division comes, we can't defeat them! They are not ordinary guerrillas! After the Germans investigated, they learned that their number was the 284th Infantry Division, and there was even a title of Guards! The Germans tried so many times, and at one time even sent two divisions! The result? Fiasco! ”

Then, calming his mind, he sat down steadily, and continued: "Therefore, if the guerrilla brigade that has been fighting with us for so long finds a way to cross the river, we can no longer pursue. And the worst thing is that the Soviet troops on the opposite bank crossed the river to reinforce! I am even afraid now that they have entered Slavdish, and only in this way will the enemy have the courage to attack us! ”

His fury made the battalion commander under his command dare not speak, as did the other officers.

The Romanian army has a high degree of hierarchy, and the officers' decisions are absolute, and even if the staff officer makes a good suggestion, the officer can choose to refuse. The commander of this infantry regiment, Bovinescu, could not even listen to the advice of his deputy. This is true for senior officers, as well as for junior soldiers.

This so-called military meeting is also completely the words of the regiment commander, and the intervention of the battalion commander Groniscu is already very bold.

Eventually, Bovignescu ordered all of them to set up camp, and it was here that he sent a telegram to the divisional headquarters, not only to report on his own encounters, but also to inquire about the next plan of action.

In this way, the Luo army built overnight camps on both sides of the main road at the entrance to the forest. Due to the haste of the operation, the tents were not brought, so the majority of soldiers mainly carried a blanket on their backs and lay on the ground to wrap themselves up for the night.

There are also many soldiers digging their own foxholes, and the devil knows if there is an enemy ambush in the surrounding forest, and if they attack at night, they can still lie in the foxholes to effectively avoid stray bullets.

The Luo army built camps and fortifications in accordance with their rules and regulations.

The regimental commander Bovinescu was most afraid of night attacks, and he naturally established a ring defense system.

He also ordered the reconnaissance company to advance first towards Slavdish, but the company commander ostensibly agreed, and indeed led his men westward, and after a certain distance, he burrowed into the forest. The company commander didn't want him and his people to die in an unknown place, so he simply set up an ambush! Just report the situation tomorrow! The "kindness" of this company commander was good for himself, but not for the regiment as a whole.

On the other hand, Balzen hurried back to Slavzich and stood in front of Yang Mingzhi smoothly.

This hairy strong man is full of the smell of gunsmoke, mixed with some fox odor. Yang Mingzhi nodded: "It seems that you are at war with the enemy!" Tell me quickly, how are these Romanians? ”

Without hesitation, Balzen replied arrogantly: "They are all a bunch of fools!" ”

"Oh? Are you deliberately laughing at them? Or is this group of people just a bunch of stupid people! ”

"They're not just stupid, they're cowards!" Balzen froze and recounted all the events that had happened a few hours earlier.

These things surprised Yang Mingzhi a little, in his concept, the Romanians were the most powerful and ambitious in the client state, but their combat effectiveness was completely inferior to their ambitions! The Luo army was a poorly armed rabble, but Balzen described their artillery fire as ferocious. In particular, the huge skirmish line has the implication of human sea tactics.

Being able to play the tactics of the sea of people with a lot of World War flavor at least proves that these people are by no means cowards! Yang Mingzhi knows very well that Balzen will only belittle the enemy, and his description of the Luo army can only show that the combat effectiveness of the Luo army is definitely stronger than the Ukrainian puppet army that quickly surrendered after being bombarded by rocket artillery!

Yang Mingzhi continued to ask: "In this battle, your casualties are like this?" ”

"Fourteen died, and two were wounded in the arms. I now have less than 500 troops. ”

"Such casualties are not too serious! Now that the enemy must have reached the road, you should go down and rest first, prepare some capable soldiers, and at night, I will have to send them to reconnoitre!" ”

"Scouting?" Balzen was a little confused, "Wouldn't it be better to attack at night?" They're camped over there! We might as well take advantage of the darkness to annihilate them in one fell swoop! ”

Yang Mingzhi immediately vetoed: "No! Everyone is so tired, we'll let them go once tonight! The enemy is coming to this city eventually, and this is a trap we have prepared for them! I've prepared so much, and by the time we get a good night's sleep, the enemy has also penetrated into the encirclement, and the rest of the battle will be handled by the rocket artillery! Besides, Evgeny will return in the evening with a lot of supplies and ammunition, and I can't change my tactics suddenly! ”

Balzen nodded: "You are so wise anyway, I completely obey orders!" There is one more circumstance that I must explain. ”

"Oh?"

"The reconnaissance battalion didn't all return, and I still left a squad to observe secretly. They will gather some information before it gets dark and withdraw under the cover of night! ”

Yang Mingzhi's eyes lit up: "You are also very wise!" It's just that this class didn't carry a radio, right? ”

"Yes!"

"So I have to send people, scouts, telegraph operators, and radio stations, to be the eyes of the troops. You just suggested that I go to the night attack, today, I am against the night attack, and it is okay to harass me! We need to keep an eye on the enemy's every move, but we shouldn't just stare at it. I will not allow the enemy to get a good night's sleep tonight, when I will give direct orders to the front scouts, I will hear the gunfire with my own ears! ”

Balzen burst out laughing instantly, and he readily agreed: "Yes!" The enemy wants to live in peace tonight! ”
