Romanian Eagle

A Romanian officer waved at the soldiers behind him and shouted. attack.

After seeing the Romanians attacking, the Ukrainian officer who fought off a wave of attack shouted to the soldiers behind him with smoke-colored faces. Fight back, repel these Romanian robbers.

On the battlefield of Hovrov, soldiers from both sides of Rou were fighting fiercely.

ta-ta-ta

Boom~Boom~Boom

The violent sound of gunfire injected the music of death for the soldiers of the two sides who were desperately fighting, making them more involved in the battle. And the corpses that fell down because of the battle became the best sacrifices for the god of death.

In the rear of the battlefield, as the commander who initiated the campaign, General Courtois was closely watching the trend of the battle.

After observing the situation, Admiral Courtois put down his telescope and immediately instructed the communications staff beside him. Strengthen the left-wing artillery to the middle, and give priority to the breakthrough in the middle. In addition, two divisions will be drawn from the reserve to enhance the attack strength of the middle. I will see progress tomorrow.

After recording the admiral's order, the staff officer replied immediately, Yes, I'll give the order right away.

The battle with the Ukrainian army near Voliv was the result of joint deliberations between General Courtois and the General Staff. The reason is entirely to destroy the will of the Ukrainian army to resist, to make the Ukrainian government realize that fighting against the powerful Romanian army is not beneficial to it.

In order to lure the Ukrainian government to transfer its troops to Volif, he has been forbearing and cautiously attacking the Ukrainian Second Army. To make them rush to the critical situation of the battle, but also make them feel that they can resist, this is completely a technical job. This is also why the Romanian army has been at war for more than half a month and still has not occupied Wollif.

However, judging from the current war situation, Ukraine knows that the move is completely in line with General Courtois's thinking.

In fact, after Romania declared war, an agreement was quickly reached after a brief dispute within the Ukrainian government. In just one week, they recruited 10,000 soldiers and formed 15 Ukrainian divisions. And these Ukrainian soldiers, inspired by patriotic enthusiasm, were sent to Lviv and Odessa with little training. Of course, Admiral Courtois was dispatched to the main force of 170,000 people, and the remaining 80,000 people were sent to Odessa, except for the 10,000 people who were left to strengthen the garrison of Kyiv.

After the recruits arrived in Lviv, General Courtois immediately launched an onslaught. Take IvanoFransk, Karush and Strey one after another, and force them directly to the vicinity of Lviv.

And Lieutenant General Rumidko, who had just been promoted to the Ukrainian 1st Army, was forced to have no way out.

There is only one battle with the Romanian army near Wollif, in an attempt to take advantage of the terrain and internal combat to block the Romanian army. Therefore, on Kovrov, the main point of the Eastern Front of Walliv, the two sides set up a battle.

From the current point of view, despite the heavy casualties, the Ukrainian army has blocked the Romanian offensive.

However, Admiral Courtois will not let them do so. According to the situation on the battlefield, he intends to let these Ukrainians taste the real strength of Romania. Let them know why the Bulgarian army was beaten and called surrender, why the Austro-Hungarian army was beaten and retreated, and why it was on an equal footing with the German army. He has not yet come up with the means to deal with the Allied army.

In the afternoon, with the adjustments made by His Excellency the Admiral, the central offensive that hit more artillery and troops immediately showed its power. The continuous sound of artillery fire resounding through the sky carried the complaints of Ukrainian soldiers, and the continuous infantry offensive made these defending Ukrainian soldiers can only support them.

These completely untrained Ukrainian soldiers have been brutally killed on the battlefield, killing their little patriotic enthusiasm. The screams of the wounded comrades around them and the explosions of artillery around them from time to time made their fears amplify. If it wasn't for the constraints of military discipline and battlefield discipline, they would have run back to their warm homes long ago. They don't even know if they will collapse in the next attack.

The Ukrainian officers on the front line faced the Romanian onslaught and could only keep sending reinforcements from the rear. As their commander, Lieutenant General Rumidiko is now quite regretful. However, it is not so simple to retreat on the battlefield. When evaluating the elite level of an army, the performance of retreat has always been a very important indicator. Moreover, the current quality of the Ukrainian army is that they dare not withdraw from the battlefield, because these people will disperse halfway. Therefore, Lieutenant General Rumidiko can only let them stand up to the death, even if the casualties are serious, they cannot retreat.

It's just that human will still has a limit, and this limit will always come sooner or later. When the sun sets in the west, the Ukrainian soldiers defending in the middle can no longer face the fear of the battlefield. They completely ignored the officers' reprimands and threats to the gendarmerie, and got up from the trenches and ran to the open field behind them. They are looking for a place without the smell of gunpowder to soothe the fear of war in their hearts. From a small number of deserters, they expanded the escape of the entire battalion in a short period of time.

This rapidly expanding phenomenon of deserters on the battlefield stunned everyone, but the attacking Romanian soldiers were ecstatic, while other Ukrainian soldiers on the battlefield felt chills.

When Admiral Courtois knew about this situation, he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and immediately ordered: Immediately order the reserves to enter the battle, and the crack torn in the middle will expand to the flanks. I want to enter Wollif before sunset tomorrow. city.

In the rear of the Ukrainian front, Lieutenant General Rumidko, who is in charge of the command, is another scene.

It's over, it's over.

Depressed Lieutenant General Rumidiko muttered, regretting that he easily fell for General Courtois.

The chief of staff Nomitchev saw Rumidko's lifeless appearance, and immediately walked up to him and shouted loudly: Wake up, Rumidko. Now we should think of a way, retreat? Or Send reinforcements? Make up your mind now before it's too late.

The words of the chief of staff made Rumidiko gradually come back to his senses. He still has three divisions in reserve, and now he really needs to find a way.

Let the troops withdraw, let's return to Shepetovka immediately, and rely on the Dnieper Heights to defend. And immediately report to Kyiv that we require reinforcements, not less than 300,000 reinforcements, otherwise I can't guarantee to stop these Romanians. .

But Rumidko's order was too late. With the order of General Courtois's general offensive, Romania's general offensive began, and the Ukrainian army, which had long been shaken by deserters, was defeated.

However, the Romanian army, eager to win, did not let them go, and immediately pursued the defeated Ukrainian army without stopping. And these defeated Ukrainian troops were scattered without reinforcements. The open fields were full of Ukrainian troopers, which thwarted Rumidko's desire to gather them back to Shepetovka.

At noon the next day, the historic Polish city of Wollif fell into the hands of the Romanians. Send a report to Bucharest immediately and tell them that we have defeated the enemy and captured Volif, and then we will sweep the nearby cities and bring them into the arms of the Kingdom of Romania.

When Admiral Kurttoy's good news reached Bucharest, Admiral Prieshan, who received the telegram, said to Eder, who had been waiting for the news: Your Majesty, we have eliminated the established resistance in Ukraine, and we have taken down Lviv City, Next, we have to look at Lieutenant General Fereit.

Facing the words of Admiral Preshan, Eder replied with satisfaction: Admiral Courtois has done a good job. I believe that Lieutenant General Freiit will not let us down.

While Edel was talking, there was a sudden noise from the door, and someone said loudly. Odessa was taken by Lieutenant General Fereit, and the enemy was beaten to pieces.

Now those Ukrainians know how good we are.

The two people in the room looked at each other and smiled when they heard the words outside. Now they can safely wait for the Ukrainian government to act next. Whether it is war or peace, Romania has the confidence to take over.
