An infantry regiment under the 6th Division of the Romanian Army was having lunch in the wilderness, but the situation in which it was located was relatively sunken, and even if the scouts who instructed the Soviet army climbed the tree, it was difficult to detect the slightest abnormality.

This infantry regiment, under the command of its commander Bovinescu, was ordered to pursue the fleeing Soviet partisan brigade.

In this pursuit battle, because the German army announced halfway that "the honor of the award will be left to Romania", this operation has a very positive significance for the Romanian army. At first, the officers and men of Luo were very disdainful of the liquidation of the guerrillas, but as the battle became stronger, they were greatly surprised, and because of the light enemy and the merciless slap in the face, the annihilation of this guerrilla force of several thousand people has become a task that must be completed.

This infantry regiment was the closest to the enemy, as it took on the most urgent task of pursuit. Because it was a hasty operation, where did the ordinary soldiers bring so much provisions, and to make matters worse, their ready-to-eat dry food was very limited! After several encounters, the 1,900 men of the infantry regiment alone could not defeat the enemy at all, but the infantry rushed too fast, leaving behind the more than 30 wagons of the infantry regiment that were transporting food and ammunition.

That's why the infantry regiment is grinding on the march! The regimental commander, Bovinescu, could have followed the enemy's footsteps into the forest on May 18, but the vast number of soldiers ran out of food and the ammunition consumed had not had time to replenish. In addition, it was already evening, and the whole group had to stop and have a good rest.

The time entered May 19, and at ten o'clock in the morning, Bovinescu received an order from the division headquarters that Slavzich was actually occupied by the enemy, and the Luo army had one more task, and the city must be recaptured!

However, the commander of the Russian army, Grisescu, also had a huge miscalculation of the information sent by the German army, because Slavdzich was occupied by the Soviet army on the morning of May 18, and the German army sent information in the early morning of the 19th, claiming that the city was occupied. At this moment, one of the Luo army is already on the outskirts of the forest, and even witnessed the fact that the Soviets escaped from the forest!

It can be said that there was a huge miscalculation from top to bottom of the Luo army, and they unanimously believed that it was precisely because they failed to annihilate the thousands of Soviet guerrillas on the afternoon of May 18 that the Soviets took advantage of the situation to take the city, which was equivalent to killing all the defenders of the city.

Therefore, the regimental commander Bovignescu did not dare to act rashly. His intention was that after dawn, the whole regiment would immediately advance towards Slavdzich, join up with the friendly forces of the local Ukrainians, and trap the enemy in the forest waiting for the next order.

Now that the enemy has taken the city, the plan must be changed. As a result, the forest became more and more dangerous, and the regimental commander had to send several teams of scouts to explore the edge of the forest.

In the wilderness, the sound of gunfire can travel far away, and even if it is covered by the wind, the characteristic low-frequency heaviness still reaches the ears of Bovignescu, who has a sensitive ear.

He jerked down the bread in his hand and stood up!

"It's gunshots! It's gunshots! Have we met an enemy? ”

"There is a high probability that it is the enemy!" Deputy Head Brimayo said worriedly.

It was not only the officers who stopped lunch, but also the soldiers who put down their crumbs of bread and lunch boxes full of potato stews. These warriors all knew that because they were close to the forest, they were close to the enemy, and the battle could break out at any time.

The area where the Scouts of Intokov and the Romanian Army briefly exchanged fire was two kilometers from the resting place of the Romanian Army. The Romanian army placed some machine guns on the periphery of its camp, and the muzzle of one of the guns was pointed at the forest to the west, but because of the distance and the good camouflage of the Soviet troops, they only faintly heard the gunfire, but found no trace of the enemy.

The regimental commander immediately made the decision to send a company due west to find out.

The army immediately finished lunch, and all the soldiers hurriedly finished their meals and returned to their companies, and the cooks quickly put the iron pots back into the wagons and put out all the bonfires.

The regimental commander, Bovinescu, knew that his infantry regiment alone could not completely annihilate the enemy, and if he could determine the exact location of the enemy, the battle would be much easier when the large force arrived. But only if you get the information of the scouts, it is better to capture one or two prisoners and ask what is going on.

In this way, an infantry company of the Romanian army began their search. Because the positions of the Luo army's scouts were all arranged in advance, the gunfire must have been fired by the scouts.

The infantry company was unaware that they were in the midst of a catastrophe and was even somewhat suspicious of the enemy's existence. Is that really not a scout gun misfire? Or maybe the regimental commander is having auditory hallucinations?

The company's ninety men formed a traditional skirmish line and headed for their reconnaissance posts.

They never expected that their actions would be seen by the Soviet army.

Tokov kept a close eye on the situation, and the large number of people who simply jumped out of the grass pits were literally lined up to be shot!

"Ahh If it weren't for their uniforms, I would have thought it was a bunch of Germans! Tokov hammered the ground and ordered the herald to give the order: "Don't shoot without my orders." We're going to wait until they're close and catch them all! ”

The technical and tactical level of the officers and men of the Soviet reconnaissance battalion was very good, but the ambush was 200 meters away from the three dead bodies. Such a distance made it possible to significantly reduce the accuracy of the submachine guns, and in the imminent ambush battle, Tokov's company would not be able to fight with full firepower.

Under his close watch, the infantry company of the Luo army could be said to be on the reins, until they saw three white-flowered objects in the green grass, and when they looked out, they found that they were corpses!

Suddenly, the soldiers of the company gathered around to find out, and this behavior naturally became their fatal mistake.

"It's now! Fire! ”

Tokov's submachine gun was the first to fire, and as a signal, rifles and machine guns erupted tongues of fire.

This sudden attack immediately hit a large number of living forces of the Luo army, and the living soldiers lay on their stomachs in the grass and shot wildly into the forest in front of them!

Grass debris from the bullet flew everywhere, and it is unknown what it hit. The battle entered a state of melee, and even Soviet scouts with rich combat experience had difficulty aiming at them.

The battle seemed to have turned into a competition for who had the most firepower, and in the chaotic battle, the Soviet army suffered casualties, and the Romanian army suffered even greater casualties. A number of Soviet soldiers were wounded, mainly from the only two 50mm mortars in the Romanian infantry company.

This inpowerful shell still caused a lot of trouble to Tokov, but the green smoke fired by the mortar also clearly exposed its position, and the Soviet RPG quickly dragged the trail of green smoke and smashed it, with a violent explosion, kicking up a large amount of dust, blowing the gunner and the mortar into pieces......

At this point, this ambush battle lasted only five minutes, and the Romanian infantry company began to retreat, but the battle did not go to the side of the Soviet army!

The fierce gunfight reached the Romanian infantry regiment with a low roar, and the dust and towering explosion smoke made the perfect place for the battle.

The regimental commander Bovignescu and his officers and men were stunned!

He immediately made a deployment: "The whole army is attacking!" The artillery company, using that smoke and dust as a reference, attack there! ”
