Romanian Eagle

Chapter 702 Cavalry vs Tanks

The small town of Izpica, located along Highway 17, is prosperous because of this traffic artery. It's just that he is not as important as Krasny because of the road connecting to Chaium. And because it is relatively close to Zamošić (less than 30 kilometers), it has not been developed into a larger town.

However, although Izpica has not received much attention, it is still developing well due to the opening of the road, and the agricultural products in the town can be quickly purchased and shipped to the city for sale. So the residents of the town have a pretty good life.

It's just that these days were broken. The day after the war broke out, a group of Romanian troops drove tanks and armored vehicles to the town. They defeated the local police and militiamen and occupied the town. The residents were so frightened that they could only hide in the room and secretly looked at the intruders.

The people who were looked at by these residents were the Second Search Team of the Third Armored Division. This search team is responsible for reconnaissance of the enemy and the task of front-running. They are equipped with 4 R221 wheeled armored vehicles, 4 R231 wheeled armored vehicles, 2 R10 tanks, as well as trucks, motorcycles and other vehicles.

Among them, the R221 is a four-wheeled light armored vehicle with a weight of only 6 tons and an armor thickness of 8-12 mm. It is equipped with a 12.7 large-caliber machine gun and can reach a speed of 80 kilometers per hour. It is mainly used for reconnaissance tasks, and by the way, it can also conduct anti-infantry operations.

The R231 is an eight-wheeled heavy armored vehicle with a total weight of 12 tons and an armor of 35-12 mm. It is equipped with a 37 mm gun, which can cause damage to all enemy armored vehicles and light tanks. It is suitable for small-scale emergencies. A weapon of sexual warfare.

This is also the result of Volkswagen's years of deep cultivation of heavy-duty vehicles. Although Volkswagen has been fighting against other car companies in the passenger car market in recent years, in the cargo truck market, Volkswagen is still a standout.

Because this car is the most practical performance, the failure rate, the fuel consumption per 100 meters, and the load are all clear. With its own accumulation over the years, Volkswagen is not afraid of competition from others. Before, Renault, Mercedes-Benz and Fiat had all played against Volkswagen in the freight vehicle market, but they were all defeated by Volkswagen's exceptionally excellent freight vehicles. It can be said that in Europe, Volkswagen freight cars are synonymous with excellent and reliable.

And now in charge of leading the search team, Captain Martin Lyman, is taking field notes. Today we occupied the small town of Izpica, crushing resistance composed of police and local militias. We lost one person, wounded two lightly, and killed 43 opponents. The opponent was driven away by us. I believe that such casualties are enough to teach the opponent a profound lesson.

Just when Martin Lyman was taking notes seriously, a roar of vehicles came from far to near, and the reconnaissance team he sent came back. However, they were in very bad condition. Only two of the three R221 armored vehicles came back, and only two of the five motorcycles came back, and many people had bloodstains on their bodies.

Have you encountered an enemy?

Martin Lyman, who didn't care to record the battle, immediately ran out to inquire about the reason, only to see Lieutenant Filler, who was in command of the unit, get out of an armored vehicle.

Report, Captain, we were attacked by a large group of enemy cavalry, and you saw it.

Martin Lyman frowned when he heard the subordinate's answer. Tell me about the battle in detail.

Yes, Captain.

In Lieutenant Filler's account, they encountered Polish cavalry in a village in front of Polk, but they only encountered more than a dozen cavalry at that time, and Lieutenant Filler saw that there were few opponents and wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the opponent. .

The result was exactly as he thought at first. When the dozen or so Polish cavalrymen saw Second Lieutenant Filler's squad, they really wanted to run, but the four legs were the opponents of the wheels. ,

All but two of the cavalry escaped by using the woods were wiped out.

And just when Lieutenant Filler wanted to return, he suddenly encountered the Polish cavalry, and there were also armored vehicles among them.

Lieutenant Filler wanted to run away, but was chased and beaten by the enemy. Three R221 armored vehicles were lost, and one of the five motorcycles was lost due to lack of protection, only to escape the enemy's pursuit.

For Martin Lyman, now he no longer cares about the losses suffered by his subordinates. It's not that he is cold-blooded, but that there is no room for too many emotions on the battlefield, especially as an officer. If you can't be hardhearted, you don't deserve to be an officer, because emotionality will only hurt more of your subordinates.

You mean, the enemy's troops should be no less than 400? They are basically cavalry and armored vehicles?

Faced with the question from his immediate superior, Lieutenant Filler naturally did not dare to hide it. Yes, I can confirm that there were about three cavalry companies and five armoured vehicles pursuing us, like the WZ34.

After hearing Lieutenant Filler's affirmative answer, Martin Lyman already had a basic judgment. At this time, Lieutenant Filler said something more, which caught his attention.

When I was about to evacuate, I seemed to see a jackal?

Lieutenant Filler's words made Martin Lyman immediately pull the other side down and ask. Are you sure you saw it clearly?

In the face of Martin Lyman's query, Lieutenant Filler was anti-Semitic and did not dare to confirm it. At that time, we were turning an inner bay. When I was observing the military equipment of the other side, I accidentally saw a vehicle in the distance that looked like a jackal tank. The main reason is that the turret of the jackal is too recognizable. I can't forget it. If I want to confirm it, I can't say it.

Okay, you can take the soldiers down and bandage them first. Maybe we have a battle to fight in a while.

Martin Lehman understands the words of Lieutenant Filler very well. He is very nervous on the battlefield. Sometimes it is easy to forget after seeing it, unless it is about his own life and death. The focus of Second Lieutenant Filler should have been to pursue their Polish cavalry, not the distant figure.

Although Lieutenant Filler did not confirm it in his words, Martin Lehmann was basically able to confirm that the encounter should be a Polish cavalry brigade. Because of the current version of the jackal, Poland can only equip it in their cavalry brigade. This is what he learned from the Polish army information issued by the superior before the war.

There was a cavalry brigade galloping towards them now, and he needed to report the situation immediately.

In addition, he also intends to use this place to block the arriving Polish cavalry and buy time for the troops to expand.

Thinking of this, he immediately called the messenger. I now order that the houses be occupied at once, in preparation for the coming engagement.

There is no way he can only say that these Poles have been driven out of their houses, but he does not intend to drive them out, but to centralize them to look after them. After all, these people are more familiar with the town than he is, and the Leading Party is more interested in the disadvantaged. It's more difficult for me.

Following his order, the town immediately fell into a turmoil, and these Romanian soldiers drove all the residents into the church. This made them think that these Romanian invaders wanted to slaughter them, and they were crying and screaming for a while, but they couldn't persuade them. The Poles kept their mouths shut until the nice soldiers told them to shut up or kill them all.
