Romanian Eagle

The 308th chapter target Cluj (3)

When there was no Austro-Hungarian reconnaissance in the sky, Andrew immediately prepared to divide his troops. Now they have reached Sovata, which is only 53 kilometers away from Army Group North at the battle of Sonat, and can be reached in a day's rapid march. However, according to the intelligence, 38 kilometers ahead of them, three divisions of the Ninth Army were already waiting here.

As the commander-in-chief of the Central Army, Andrew is also quite decisive. At this time, he himself led the elite second and ninth divisions to sneak day and night, while the chief of staff continued to move towards Sonat with other troops. In order to ensure realistic confusion to the enemy, the speed of the troops led by the chief of staff should be accelerated, and it is necessary to show the psychology of eagerly rescuing teammates.

At a fork in Sovata, Andrew was saying goodbye to his chief of staff.

Chief of Staff, how many enemy troops do you think we can leave behind this time?

In the face of Lieutenant General Andrew, who showed his arrogance, the chief of staff thought about it seriously. It depends on the opponent's response. If Lieutenant General Fan Siteng reacts sharply, abandons heavy weapons such as artillery armored vehicles, and retreats from the northwest road, then he can take away most of the army. But in this case, his Ninth Army will also be An army that has lost most of its weapons and lost heavy weapons such as artillery, does it still have combat effectiveness?

Of course if he's slow to react for a day or has unrealistic thoughts, then he's lucky to be able to take away a third.

Regarding his chief of staff's attitude of really seriously analyzing it, Andrew said with a laugh. It depends on how much troops we want him to take away.

Andrew and the chief of staff were talking about the enemy's defeat like no one else, which made people feel a little arrogant. However, in the eyes of them, who have been battle-hardened and experienced, the failure of the Austro-Hungarian Ninth Army was inevitable.

Because after this battle started, the enemy commander, Fan Siteng, performed quite unbearably, and was completely played by Lieutenant General Freiette at the command level. And in order to let him put in more troops, Feleit deliberately gave up some positions yesterday, and his performance was going to be overwhelmed. Sure enough, it was like taking out a piece of red cloth, making Versten go crazy about it like a bull. He not only invested most of the troops in his hands, but also deployed a brigade of troops in Cluj. This made it impossible for the already stretched defenders to block the next raid, so the two had confidence in the next battle.

If the enemy is like the Austro-Hungarian Tenth Army, then this will be difficult to fight.

As said, Army Group South did have a hard time fighting in Deva.

In the trenches, through the gunpowder smoke that filled the front of the position, Captain Mizik saw the appearance of many figures and immediately shouted. Attention the enemy is coming up, prepare to fight.

Hearing the roar of his superior,

The soldiers of the 7th Company immediately raised their guns and aimed at these figures. They were waiting for the enemy to get closer to be able to kill more effectively. As their commander, Mizke did not look at the distance of the enemy as before and prepared to issue an order to fire, and began to inspect whether the soldiers in the trenches raised their guns in a standardized manner.

In fact, the result of Mizke's inspection before the battle is that there are too many recruits in his company. And it's not just his company's situation, the entire 19th Division is like this. When it comes to fighting, it's hard to trust a comrade who's only seen each other for a week.

Because of Mizik's 7th Company's reputation, he participated in the battles of the 19th Division, and most of them were used in key positions. This also led to the arrival of the reinforcements of the army led by Admiral Salamick, only 53 people could stand in the 7th company, and two-thirds of the casualties caused a large influx of recruits. As a commander who is deeply loved by the soldiers, of course he must take care of these recruits, and in Mizik's view, trying to keep them alive is the greatest care.

After the arrival of the recruits, their company commanders even said in private that the soldiers who had been added to their company were probably the worst in the battle. As soon as they arrived in the army, they encountered a major battle, and some even felt that half of these recruits were lucky to survive the first battle. Now Mizik can only let them take up arms to defend their lives.

Somi, stand up, the enemy is coming.

Halfway through, Mizik saw a supplementary recruit shivering in a corner, and a Mauser 98 was dropped in the dirt at the bottom of the trench. Mizke knew him. This was Somi, a new recruit from his own company, a young man who had just graduated from high school in Ploiesti.

Mizick, who had faced a lot of this situation for a few days, pulled it up and picked up the rifle from the dirt, and he spoke to Somi aloud. Somi, this is a life-and-death fight. Get over your fears and take a gun to fight.

Somi, who was pale and still had a nervous expression on his face, grabbed Mizke's shoulder tightly with his hands and said. They were all dead, so I watched them die, and they were gone. Company commander, are we all going to die?

It seems that Suomi encountered some irritation. It is very likely that a friend he knew was hit by a cannonball in front of him. Mizke has rich experience in healing. I saw that he stretched out his palm and swiped hard at Suomi's tender cheek.

Crack, clap... clap.

After several slaps in a row, Suomi's mental attention finally turned back to her pain. Ah, it hurts so much, the company commander stopped.

After seeing Suomi's voice recovering normally, Mizick stopped his hand, not to mention that it was really good to hit the tender face with a rough palm. Mizik, who was thinking about this, looked at Somi, whose face was red and swollen and dodging himself, and then he spoke. Not ready to fight yet.

Cured by Mizik, the fearful recruit from Ploiesti immediately took up his rifle and, like any other soldier, prepared to resist the oncoming enemy. And Mizke treated several soldiers who were afraid in the next one after another.

The machine gun intercepted the follow-up enemy reinforcements, and the other soldiers shot the enemy directly in front of me, fire quickly.

Doss, take your men to reinforce our fourth company on the left flank. They may not be able to carry it. We can't let the gap open from them.

Messeurs, report to the regiment headquarters, we need ammunition replenishment. It's better to give us another machine gun, otherwise it will be difficult for us to fight later.

Under the attack of the Austro-Hungarian army, Mizik was in command of the company's defense in an orderly manner. Under his excellent command, the attack of the Austro-Hungarian army was once again blocked. But looking at the riddled position, Mizik couldn't help but think when he would get reinforcements. In this battle, his company suffered 47 casualties, of which 41 were recruited.
