Romanian Eagle

In the sky above the small town of Monore, the solemn breath seems to be transformed into substance, making people breathless.

What made the atmosphere so solemn was of course the Hungarian People's Army led by Landrell. In fact, when the Hungarian army was about to leave the city, General Salamik in Monol had already received the news. His Excellency the Admiral immediately ordered the troops building the fortifications to speed up, so after nearly a day and night of rush repairs, the fortifications built in Romania have begun to take shape.

When Landelier led the People's Army to Monore, what appeared in front of him were large and small fortifications. The front is barbed wire, trenches, traffic trenches, etc., and there are firepower points, machine gun positions, and flank counterattack trenches on the side. As for the artillery positions behind, observation balloons, etc., it is not enough to explain them one by one.

So when he saw the rolling Romanian fortifications, Landrell took a deep breath. He knew that the Romanians had only arrived here for about two days, and he did not expect the construction to be completed so quickly. Although there are still some places where the excavated dirt is exposed, but this is no longer important for the defense.

While Landrell was observing the Romanian position, General Salamik was also in a well-positioned observation post, checking the performance of the Hungarian People's Army. Watching the Hungarian soldiers, under the command of their officers, began to build basic fortifications, and there were people beside them who organized singing to cheer them on. His Excellency the Admiral put down the telescope in his hand and said with a smile: The morale is good, and the spirit is better than that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Yes, the Hungarian People's Army also has this evaluation in his eyes. Well-equipped and well-trained, in the opinion of Admiral Salamik, it is too far from this Hungarian army, and it is currently a good morale. The only thing that made him a little dreadful was the strength of the enemy's troops. The army of 240,000 people has achieved a three-to-one ratio with them in terms of strength. This is what makes him feel a little bit afraid.

Yes, no matter what era, the side with absolute superiority in military strength takes the initiative. This is also the reason why Admiral Salamik led Landreel's People's Army out of Budapest. In the city defense operations, the Hungarian revolutionary government was able to block the Romanian front with its huge military advantage. Even if it can't be stopped, it will at least cost the Romanian army a lot.

As for this intervention, Admiral Salamick did not want to lose too much, and he would not be able to explain it to the country. So luring the Hungarian army out became his only option.

However, although there were too many Hungarian troops this time, Salamik was afraid, but he was not afraid at all. For this battle, Salamik prepared a lot of good things to entertain these Hungarians.

After a quiet night, the battle between the two sides is finally about to start.

In the early morning, the Hungarian artillery behind the position opened the horn of the battle, and the intensive thunder sounded from the rear.

This time, the artillery units brought by Landrell are not many, but they are the essence of the remaining Austro-Hungarian army, and the Costa heavy artillery it is equipped with is also famous in Europe.

As their opponents, the Romanian artillerymen were not vegetarians, and their 210 and 240 large-caliber heavy artillery immediately responded strongly. You must know that in addition to the small number of 280 large-caliber train guns, these 210 and 240 large-caliber heavy artillery are the treasures of the Romanian Army's town house.

These heavy artillery regiments that participated in the Balkan Wars and just ended World War I made the Bulgarians, Austro-Hungarians, and Germans taste their power. Not to mention training artillerymen with these heavy artillery for more than ten years, that is almost all spent. Therefore, for the heavy artillery of the Hungarian People's Army, the Romanian heavy artillerymen are not afraid at all.

The heavy artillery on both sides swung a fearless posture across the positions, and kept firing violently towards the artillery positions of the observed opponents.

In a heavy artillery position in Bulgaria, the soldiers were loading the heavy artillery in front of them with shells, and the officers kept urging: Come on, get down on these Romanian bastards and let them know how powerful our revolutionary soldiers are.

At this time, a low whistle came from far and near, and the officer who had served as an artillery officer for many years immediately changed his face: Run, shell.

After speaking, without waiting for the soldier to react, he immediately ran to the side with the strength of feeding. He remembered well that there was an anti-gun hole there. Although it can't stop a direct hit, it can at least avoid the impact of the artillery.

The soldier who was shocked by the officer's roar, saw the officer's actions and immediately broke into a cold sweat.

It's just that people can't outrun the cannonball. When they just ran two steps, a large-caliber cannonball landed directly next to the gun position. Only a violent explosion sounded, and a Costa 210 caliber cannon on the gun position disintegrated directly. The soldiers who had not had time to escape on the gun emplacement disappeared immediately. These soldiers said goodbye to this world before they even had time to cry out.

The scattered broken parts are like shrapnel, indiscriminately attacking the surrounding. As for the two huge metal wheels, one fell into the woods, knocking down several large bowl-mouthed trees in an instant, and the other fell into the nearby farmland, ploughing a deep trace of the soil in the field. The broken barrel is like a heavy hammer, hitting everything around it.

In the face of the secondary metal storm caused by the shelling, the soldiers who fled in all directions failed to escape, and many fell to the ground silently.

And the officer who was the first to evade was not able to run into the anti-gun hole. He was hit by a large piece of shrapnel in the leg at a distance of more than ten meters from the anti-gun hole. The shrapnel flying at high speed was like a sharp cutting knife, cutting off his left calf from the leg. . The blood that spewed out stained the soil under his feet red.

The officer could only scream in agony while pinching the position of his broken leg to prevent himself from dying due to excessive bleeding. At the same time, I also prayed in my heart that the medical ambulance team would come quickly.

Scenes like this are common during heavy artillery barrages from both sides. Now the comparison is the endurance of the heavy artillery on both sides. Whoever loses will lose control of the artillery fire on the battlefield.

However, as the disadvantaged side of the number of artillery pieces, the Hungarian People's Army commander Landelier could not hold his breath.

It can't go on like this. Our heavy artillery is completely on the disadvantaged side. If we really need to divide the outcome, our chances of winning are not high.

After speaking to the political commissar beside him, Landrell picked up the field phone and said, I ordered to attack the enemy's position immediately.

While the two sides were still shelling, the Hungarian People's Army launched a rare attack.

Next, we need to see the performance of the Romanian army.
