Romanian Eagle

The time is slowly coming to December, and the Ukrainian region has already entered the winter of thousands of miles of snow. In this season of dripping water, the Russian and Soviet armies in western Ukraine are separated by dozens of kilometers.

In the port city of Nikolayev, close to the front line, a group of Romanian soldiers are pushing a lefh18 105 howitzer into the position.

Everyone work hard.

Hey.

This is the new 105th howitzer battalion of the fifteenth division of the Romanian Army, entering the position (now the Romanian infantry division has four artillery battalions, two 75th mountain field artillery battalions, and two 105th howitzer battalions).

The cold wind in the winter did not make the soldiers feel cold, but the work of pushing artillery and carrying ammunition in large quantities made everyone look steamy.

Major Tovsk, the battalion commander, was standing on a high place observing the placement of the positions. The boys worked hard, and the placement of the artillery was also done well, and he was very satisfied.

Major Tovsk previously served as deputy battalion commander of another 105th Howitzer Battalion of the 15th Division. There is nothing more comforting than being able to stand out from the four deputy battalion commanders when encountering a large expansion of artillery this time.

When Major Tovsk was full of vigor and imagined the future, Major General Kledov, the commander of the 15th Division, was deploying his own troops.

In the headquarters of the fifteenth division in Nikolayev, Major General Kledov was giving orders to the messengers. Order the 1504th regiment to deploy on Costaf.

After sending off the messengers, Colonel Dork, the chief of staff, stepped forward and asked: We have already deployed the 1501st and 1503rd regiments outside the city. If the 1504th regiment is also transferred out, only the 1503th regiment will be left in the city. If there is an emergency, will the troops be a little less?

The chief of staff Colonel Dork asked, and Major General Kledov pointed to the military map and replied: A lot. As for the Ukrainian and Russian civilians in the city, do they dare to turn up the flowers? And you see, the Nepalese we are guarding. Gulayev is a must for the enemy to take Odessa. If it weren't for the fact that the city was full of Ukrainians and Russians, I would have sent another battalion to strengthen the defense.

For the heart of the chief of staff, Major General Kledov continued: And there is the ninth division behind us. As long as we hold on for two days, we will be able to reinforce us. So what you are worried about is unlikely to happen.

Besides, we are not on the enemy's main offensive side. Didn't the intelligence department have already probed it. The enemy opposite us has only one army. The real battle is in Vinnitsa.

After Major General Kledov finished speaking,

Looking at Vinnitsa, it seems that he must be yearning for the war over there.

As a soldier, who doesn't want to expand the territory and make achievements. But unfortunately, in the battle with Germany and Austria, the 15th Division did not get a good performance. And when they fought against the Hungarian revolutionaries, they did not get dazzling results.

Now that he is at war with the Soviet and Russian troops, and he is far away from the battle site, it makes me angry to think about it.

Vinnitsa, which Major General Kledov yearns for physically and mentally, is currently looking like a mountain or rain.

In the city of Vinnitsa, in the newly established Ukrainian Army Headquarters, all the bright generals were listening with a serious look to Admiral Fereit explaining the combat mission this time. That's right, Admiral Fereit, who has made great achievements in battle, is the commander this time. (Pity the two generals, Preshan and Courtois, who were pushed back by the war because the promotion of marshal requires grand preparations)

According to the battle plan. In Vinnitsa, our army is divided into three divisions. Among them, the left division is dominated by the 12th, 19th, 23rd, and 25th divisions, and four divisions are formed as a left-wing cluster. Lieutenant General Ankodar will be the commander. And a 150 heavy artillery regiment will be assigned to prevent the enemy from interspersed and protect the flank of our army.”

On the right, there are seven divisions, fourteen divisions, sixteen divisions, twenty-one divisions... eight divisions are mainly for my right wing group, and the commander is Lieutenant General Mandif. The main combat goal is to prevent the enemy from attacking. , and prepare to strike.”

The middle road is dominated by the 1st Division of the Imperial Guard, the 3rd Division, the 5th Division... 11 divisions form the middle road group, and I personally serve as the commander. The main combat target blocks the enemy's offensive, and waits for an opportunity to encircle the enemy with the right group. , in order to achieve the annihilation of the enemy's living strength. The first cavalry division and the armored brigade act as mobile forces, ready to attack the interspersed enemy at any time.

Finally, the 1st and 28th Divisions of the Imperial Guard stayed behind in Vinnitsa to prepare fortifications and to be ready to reinforce the front.

After Freiit arranged the battle plan, he looked at the participants in the conference hall.

In fact, his battle plan is very simple and easy to understand, as long as you understand a little military, you can understand it. This is a sloping deployment formation, mainly relying on the middle road to block the enemy's attack, and then detouring to the rear of the enemy with a roundabout attack on the right to annihilate it.

Of course, despite the simplicity of this plan, it was actually specially arranged by Fereit based on the topography of Vinnitsa. The key point is the need to block the enemy's attack in the middle. For this reason, he reviewed the intelligence of previous operations after the establishment of Soviet Russia and the organizational structure of its army, and carefully designed it.

From Fereit's point of view, although the Soviet Russian army is said to have high morale, it is not afraid of death in battle. But in the organization and management of its army, it was a complete mess. Take the group charge that Soviet Russia likes to use most, the main reason is that the military skills of the officers are not enough, so this simple method must be used.

The battle between them and the White Guards, in Fereit's view, was more like a bad battle. Both sides fought with great openness and loopholes, but because of the higher organizational ability of Soviet Russia, it was possible for Soviet Russia to laugh to the end.

Take the famous Czech Army Corps in the Russian Civil War as an example, this is just a group of former Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war captured by Tsarist Russia. As a result, this group of about 100,000 prisoners of war actually turned upside down in Russia, and it is conceivable how big the gap between the strengths of the two sides is.

When Fereit held a military conference to deploy the battle plan, Soviet Russia also held a military mobilization conference in Berkichev.

That's right, the Soviet Union's war meeting has long been held, and now it is a mobilization meeting to prepare for war.

Since it is a mobilization meeting, Comrade Stalin, who is in charge of the army's thinking, can of course only stand on the podium and mobilize the commanders at all levels below. Comrades, the motherland is watching us. The leader, Comrade Lenin, is also waiting for our good news in Moscow. This battle against the neo-imperialist Romania will open a new chapter in the revolution. Let us use full enthusiasm And with an indelible fighting spirit, come and fight this battle with Romania.

As Stalin's voice fell, the commanders and fighters present shouted together.

Ula

The preparations for the war on both sides are almost the same, and the next battle in Vinnitsa is about to start. Who will kill the deer depends on the performance of both sides.
