Romanian Eagle

Chapter three hundred and ninety third defeat

When a large-scale hand-to-hand battle broke out in Monore, the Left Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Mandif, had arrived in a small village called Vano, which was less than 15 kilometers away from Monore.

When Lieutenant General Mandive got Monol to break out a large-scale fierce hand-to-hand battle, he immediately ordered: "Order to leave a brigade to protect heavy equipment such as artillery, and everyone else marches lightly, we speed up and rush to Monol."

"Yes"

The messenger who received the order of Lieutenant General Mandive immediately ran to give the order. Afterwards, the divisions of the Left Army gave up their heavy backpacks, carrying only ammunition and two days' rations, all of them lightly packed and rushed to Monol. There are their comrades who are struggling to resist the Hungarian attack and need their help.

And when the Right Route Army got the news, their vanguard had arrived at a small town called Chars less than 13 kilometers away from Monore. However, it was Romania's only cavalry division that arrived here, and the main force of the Left Army led by Lieutenant General Ankodar was still 10 kilometers away.

The same as Lieutenant General Mandive's choice after he got the news, Lieutenant General Ankodar also let the troops put down their burdens and go into battle lightly, and the artillery and the logistics force carrying these materials will catch up at their own speed. The cavalry division immediately rushed to Monoor, threatening the supply line of the People's Army.

In this way, both forces made the same choice. In their hearts, in addition to worrying about the attacked Central Route Army, fear of letting the People's Army go away is also one of the reasons. No one wants to fight an urban offensive and defensive battle with their opponents, which is simply an abyss that devours the lives of soldiers.

…………

In the headquarters outside Monore City, Landrell was looking at the list of losses that he had just counted and hurt himself. At this time, a staff officer rushed in in a hurry. He completely ignored other people's faces and said anxiously: "I just got the news that a large-scale enemy cavalry was found five kilometers behind us."

The staff officer's words caused the list in Landrell's hand to fall to the ground. He stepped forward and grabbed the staff officer and asked, "The enemy is at that position, please point it out to me."

Then he took the staff officer in front of the combat map, and the staff officer who was stubbornly dragged him quickly pointed to a place marked Churgo and said, "This is where the enemy's cavalry was found."

Landrell had an impression of the place Churgo, with a river passing by and a small hill beside it. So from Monore to Budapest, it is rare to have a good position that is conducive to defense.

After thinking for a while, Landrell called a staff officer: "I immediately ordered the 17th, 19th, and 25th divisions to immediately expel the enemy cavalry troops that appeared in Churgo. After expelling the enemy cavalry,

Let them do a good job of protection along the way. "

"Yes, sir."

After receiving the order from Landrell, the staff officer immediately rushed to convey the order.

Today, it seemed that God was going to oppose Landrell. When the staff officer passed by the door, a figure bumped into him. The two people who collided fell to the ground at the same time, and just as the staff officer who delivered the order was about to stand up, he found that the other side was faster than him, and he bounced with a swish. Just when he hadn't figured out why the man reacted so quickly, the man immediately ran to Landrell quickly, and then a shocking news came into his ears.

"What are you talking about, the enemy's left army has arrived at Baoerqi, which is six kilometers away from us. I didn't know until the enemy came to us. What are they doing to eat?"

Landrell was stunned by the news. This was not a cavalry with a small number of enemies, but a total of 50,000 or 60,000 people. With such a large-scale army appearing behind him, of course he knew the consequences.

God seemed to make Landreel feel hopeless, and at this moment another staff officer rushed in and brought him another bad news. About 40,000 enemy troops from the right route were found ten kilometers away, and according to their direction of travel, it was very likely that the enemy cavalry was in the Churgo area.

This news completely overwhelmed Landrell's heart line of defense, making him feel powerless and hopeless. The enemy has formed a three-sided encirclement, and he has just fought a wave of attrition with the enemy, which is the moment when morale is low, which makes him good.

Not even God could save him in this situation.

Seeing the dejected look of his commander, the several staff officers who brought the news are you looking at me, I look at you, and no one knows what to do.

Under the concerned eyes of several staff officers, Landrell slowly recovered. He is the commander-in-chief of the People's Army, and there are still 200,000 People's Army waiting to bring him out of the predicament, so he cannot be knocked down.

After seeing several staff officers in front of him, including the one who gave his orders, he said to them, "Wait outside for a while and let me think about it."

After seeing that his commander-in-chief was all right, the staff members waited outside the door. After seeing the staff members leave, Landrell felt a sense of powerlessness and dizziness. He immediately supported the stool next to him to slow himself down, and at the same time, he was thinking about countermeasures in his mind as he forcibly endured the dizziness.

Now I am facing two problems, the first one; the news of being surrounded by the enemy cannot be concealed at all, which will make the morale of the already demoralized army even more flustered, and I must boost their morale.

The second; is how to break through the siege of the enemy and return to Budapest.

And there is an idea in Landrell's heart, Budapest can't stop the enemy's footsteps. If he hadn't lost so many troops in a large-scale war with Romania at Monore, he would have the confidence to block the enemy's footsteps in Budapest. But now he can only lead these soldiers and find a way to escape the enemy's encirclement.

As for boosting the morale of the soldiers, he currently has one or two preliminary ideas, which is to use the desire of the soldiers to go home and inspire them. As for breaking through the enemy's encirclement, this requires reconnaissance of the enemy's deployment first.

While Landrell was looking for a way out for the Hungarian soldiers, General Salamik was also holding back his inner grief and was deploying against the Hungarian People's Army.

The arrival of the two-wing army finally made his worrying heart come true. Now he wants to vent the anguish in his heart, and there is nothing faster than hitting back the enemy who had beaten him before.

He looked at the commanders sitting in front of him and said: "I have already negotiated with Lieutenant General Mandif and Lieutenant General Ankodar. The next step is to strengthen our encirclement and wait until their heavy weapons are in place. Just launch the general attack. But before that, in order to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall. We need to make a coordinated attack with the two lieutenant generals when they break through."

"When the enemy breaks through, the 5th Division of Major General Fergus, the 7th Division of Major General Foucto, the 19th Division of Major General Dotrid, and Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman's Armored Brigade will form the pursuit corps. Under the leadership of Major General Fergus, we will attack the enemy to contain their breakout operations. Then I will be in charge of the remaining troops and support them as a reserve force."

"Does everyone understand?"

"clear."

After Admiral Salamick assigned the task, everyone got up and then they needed to regroup, distribute weapons and ammunition, and prepare for the next battle. The second division commander, Major General Doles, was a little unwilling to leave, but thinking of the heavy casualties of his own division, he finally left without saying anything.

When Romania was ready to let the Hungarian People's Army escape, the People's Army had also investigated the current situation as the target of the besieged.

A staff officer is reporting the results of the investigation to Landrell.

"Commander-in-chief, according to what we have detected. At present, the enemy has three divisions in Churgo, and the enemy of Baulch stopped at a place where they approached us four kilometers. They are currently building fortifications. And the enemy cavalry has already Spread out, it should be responsible for monitoring our movements. In addition, the enemy of Monol also has a large-scale gathering trend."

In the staff account, the deployment of the Romanians had already appeared in Landrell's mind, mainly to defend various traffic arteries, and to send cavalry to monitor the vast other areas.

This method is aimed at the People's Army, which has assembled a large army, because they know that they will not go anywhere else, but only through the main roads.

In fact, this is indeed the case. At present, there are still 140,000 people in the People's Army. There is no way to pass through other places. At present, it seems that the enemy is strictly guarding his way back to Budapest.

This is also the widest road. As the main passage from Budapest to Sornok, it is a large road that can accommodate four trucks, or 20 people abreast. Other roads are not so wide, but their defense forces are not so many. How should I choose?

Landreel, who was thinking about it, couldn't make up his mind, but at this time, the staff officer said a word that made him immediately make up his mind.

"Our troops discovered a strange thing during the reconnaissance."

"What's up?"

"No car marks were seen on the way the enemy came."

No car marks were seen, they didn't see car marks. Landrell's brain turned rapidly, and there was no trace of the car, which meant that the Romanians were traveling lightly, and that he still had a chance to break through.

Landrell, who wanted to understand, immediately issued an order: "Order the 17th, 19th, 27th, and 34th divisions to form the vanguard, and the goal is Churgo. After the 19th, 21st, and 26th divisions are left behind, the others will March with me, we will act tonight."

Seeing that his commander was in such a hurry, the staff officer couldn't help but ask, "Commander-in-chief, in such a hurry?"

In a good mood, Landrell said with a smile: "It's so urgent, we can't leave time for the enemy, or we won't be able to escape when the enemy is fully equipped."

"Yes"

Following Landreel's order, the People's Army left the defensive troops behind and rushed back overnight. They plan to attack Churgo tonight to break the siege.

The large-scale action of the People's Army did not hide from Romania's eyes at all. After General Salamik of Monol heard the Hungarians' movements, he immediately ordered the pursuit corps to set off immediately to hold back some of the enemy's forces. And the army led by Lieutenant General Mandif also rushed up immediately, trying to entangle the enemy. The troops headed by Lieutenant General Thurgo Ankodar were on guard.

For a while, battles spread around Monol. One side wants to go home, but the other side blocks its move, making the two contradictory armed forces fight hard.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, the troops led by Lieutenant General Ankodar finally caught fire with the enemy.

"Break out their defenses and let's go home."

As soon as they went home, the soldiers of the People's Army regained their morale. Under the guidance of the family, these People's Army rushed to the Romanian soldiers one after another. The right-wing army that arrived here soon did not have time to build fortifications. They relied on the local terrain as a cover and kept firing on the Hungarian army that was charging towards them.

The fierce firepower made the Hungarian army completely unable to rush, and at this time the few remaining artillery pieces of the People's Army were already in place. Towards the direction of the Romanian fire, regardless of firing their own shells, because the commander-in-chief Landrell has ordered them to fire their shells tonight. So the Romanian soldiers, who had no cover at all, could only endure the shelling while firing on the charging enemy.

The fierce battle continued, and Churgo did not stop here for a moment, and the two sides continued to invest in the battle for the place.

But over time, the Romanian army found a serious problem, that is, they did not have enough ammunition. As they marched lightly, each of them only carried a small amount of ammunition, and when the battle was fierce, their ammunition was quickly consumed, and now there is not much ammunition.

When the news that the ammunition was low was reported to Ankodar, the willing lieutenant general was furious. "Damn it, it's like this."

However, Your Excellency Lieutenant General can't change ammunition, he can only be anxious. In the face of their own lack of ammunition, Romanian soldiers could only use them sparingly, and this situation was soon discovered by Hungarian soldiers.

"They're running out of ammunition. If you want to go home, run with me."

A People's Army officer said loudly that the enemy was running out of ammunition. This cheered the hearts of the suppressed Hungarian soldiers, each of whom saw hope of returning home.

Immediately following in the footsteps of the officer, he rushed towards the Romanians.

In the end, Lieutenant General Ankodar's blocking failed, and a total of nearly 80,000 Hungarian troops broke through the block and fled to Budapest.

General Salamik, who was so intent on annihilating the People's Army here, was utterly disappointed and could only sigh with admiration as he watched the People's Army break out of the encirclement.

In this decisive battle of Monore, the Hungarian People's Army invested a total of 410,000 troops, but in the end only 130,000 people escaped (the main force was 80,000, and the remaining troops on the two flanks were about 50,000). The Romanian army invested a total of 180,000 people and suffered 5.2 casualties, which also greatly damaged the strength of the Romanian army. However, the victory was finally won. I believe that in the next time, the People's Army will no longer dare to have any unreasonable thoughts on the Romanian army.

Although the battle was not perfect, it also met Romania's expectations and annihilated the main force of the People's Army. Then Budapest smells like an overripe apple that can only be picked by a human hand.
