Chapter 455: Cavalry Battle Tanks (Part 2)

Today, the town of Fewodava is full of people, and the local Polish residents are hiding in their houses to watch the uninvited guests pouring in. At this time, a large group of cavalry escorted a few people into the town that had long been controlled, and the Polish residents found from the crack of the door that among these people, a middle-aged cavalryman in his thirties and forties was the main one.

"This is the town of Fewodava, no different from other Polish towns."

While watching the layout of the town, Budyonny, who was riding on a horse, made a secret evaluation.

Just here, a messenger ran up to him and reported: "Commander, the headquarters has been set up."

Budyonny, who was looking bored, replied: "Okay, let's go."

So a large group of cavalry immediately rushed to the new headquarters under the leadership of the messengers. This headquarters is built in a villa next to the town, which is the most luxurious house in the town. It also lives in the richest man in the town, but the family has since been evicted from the villa.

As soon as Budyonni came to the headquarters, he saw the entry and exit here. Everyone was busy moving in the items needed by the headquarters, and outside the villa, the original owner's luxury furniture and other items could be seen casually. Throw away in a corner.

Budyonny walked into the villa and found that the political commissar Voroshilov was instructing these people to place items. When he saw Budyonny walk in, he greeted him warmly.

"Comrade Budyonny, here you are."

Budyonny nodded and responded to Voroshilov: "Yes, Comrade Commissar, I'm here. How is the current situation?"

"It's not bad, the place is spacious and suitable for headquarters."

After hearing Voroshilov's answer, Budyonny said with a smile: "It seems that I can have a good rest today."

"That's right, I really need to give the troops a break after rushing for two days."

It needs to be said here that both Budyonny and Voroshilov belong to the military opposition, and their leader is Comrade Stalin who has been transferred back to Moscow. Trotsky and Tukhachevsky formed a military faction. At present, the opposition in the Soviet Russian army is in a state of being suppressed, which also leaves hidden dangers for the future.

Just as the two were talking, a messenger hurried in.

When the two saw the messenger running in, they felt that something must have happened, and Voroshilov, who was impatient, immediately asked:

"What's the matter?"

"Report to the commander and commissar,

We found a large group of Romanian cavalry 13 kilometers away. "

Hearing the report of the messenger, the two of them flashed a sentence in their minds, which came very quickly. They were mentally prepared for the arrival of the Romanian army, but they did not expect it to come so quickly.

And at this time they thought about the warning that Comrade Stalin had given them earlier. "The Romanian army cannot be treated as the White Guard of the civil war, otherwise it will suffer a great loss. It should be treated as the German army."

They didn't know much about Stalin's warning before, and now they can see the opponent's unusualness from the reaction and actions of the opponent.

As for the impatient Voroshilov, he immediately asked, "How many are they here?"

"About 13,000, 4,000 cavalry troops, we don't know if there are troops behind. The main reason is that they did a good job of covering up, and we couldn't go around and investigate."

At this time, Budyonny suddenly said: "We must find out what is behind the enemy's cavalry, and we must find out at all costs."

So under Budyonny's order, a group of Soviet Russian cavalry units were sent out, and they fought in the field with the Romanian cavalry covering the flanks.

"Come on, take down these Romanian gangsters."

A Soviet Russian cavalry officer commanded his subordinates and rushed towards a group of Romanian cavalry that appeared.

"Give these russians some color."

And this team of Romanian cavalry was also unambiguous, and under the command of the officer who led the team also rushed towards the Soviet Russian cavalry.

So the cavalry troops on both sides rushed towards the opponent, relying on the superiority of numbers on the one hand, and the superiority of weapons on the other, and they all rushed to the opponent fearlessly.

"Kill..."

The two troops that collided together immediately presented a scene of overturning.

The soldiers on both sides, ignoring their comrades who were shot down, waved their sabres at the opponent. After a short and bloody confrontation, the soldiers and warhorses who fell in a pool of blood on the battlefield spoke of the cruelty.

Many soldiers were killed in the battle, and the two sides turned their horses to look at their opponents. It was obvious that there must be a winner in this fight.

And battles like this continue to take place in the wilderness, which also makes Lieutenant General Widerschi secretly distressed. However, in order to win the victory, the old general did not care about the casualties of his subordinates, and he continued to send troops again and again to intercept the Soviet Russian cavalry who were trying to pass them.

However, manpower is always poor at times, and the number of Soviet Russian cavalry is more than double his. There were still many Soviet Russian cavalrymen who escaped the interception and probed behind the cavalry division.

In an open space surrounded by unknown woods behind the cavalry division, jackals were parked here in disguise.

In the woods, Major General Hoffman, like other soldiers, was wearing a camouflaged military uniform and was observing the Soviet Russian cavalry outside the woods with a telescope.

"This is the third batch of Soviet Russian scout cavalry today, but they can't find us."

Colonel Antonescu next to him whispered to Hoffman.

"I hope so."

Hoffman looked at the cavalry outside and replied casually: "If they come in, they will trouble your cavalry for a while, and they must not be allowed to escape."

"Don't worry, I know what to do. Maybe they will go to the 'warehouse' in a while. Isn't that the case with the two cavalry before?"

Facing Hoffman's words, Antonescu answered nonchalantly. After he finished speaking, he looked at Hoffman with envy, and neither did the youngest major general.

At that time, after Hoffman discussed with Lieutenant General Wilderschi, he felt that it was not safe to rely on cavalry to cover the battlefield. So let the old general send cavalry to protect himself, and in addition to this, he also set up several well-defended 'warehouses'. These 'depots' only have some weapons, ammunition and vehicles, but some cavalry troops are closely guarded around them.

And the cavalry regiment of Antonescu, who is his friend, was sent to perform this task. Now this friend is staying by his side, under the pretense that he needs to protect the armored brigade from being discovered.

And the establishment of these measures is not wrong. From yesterday, a large number of Soviet Russian cavalry broke through the interception of the cavalry division. Fortunately, the armored brigade had been camouflaged in advance, so they were not discovered.

However, several 'warehouses' that have been set up have been discovered, and the Romanian cavalry guarding here has already dealt with these Soviet Russian cavalry. Last night they heard a loud explosion and it seemed that a 'warehouse' was destroyed by the enemy.

The two watched as the group of Soviet Russian soldiers dismounted outside the woods, and looked at them as if they were planning to go into the woods to explore.

Seeing that these Russian cavalrymen were planning to enter the woods, Hoffman couldn't help but say: "Damn, they seem to be coming in. Antonescu asked your people to prepare, don't let them run away."

Antonescu, who also saw this situation, also replied with a serious expression: "I will prepare now, and I will not let them run away."

Just as these Soviet Russian soldiers dismounted and prepared to enter the woods with their weapons, a cavalryman from a distance ran towards them. And these soldiers also found the cavalry, and saw that they stopped planning to enter the woods and watched the cavalry run in front of them.

While pointing in a certain direction, he spoke to these people. And the Soviet Russian soldiers who listened to him immediately got on their horses and followed him to the place.

Although I couldn't hear what they said from a distance, Antonescu also guessed the content with the direction of the action. He smiled and said to Hoffman: "We are so lucky that another 'warehouse' has been discovered. It's a good discovery."

After several attempts to save the day, the Soviet Russian cavalry was decreasing day by day. None of the 'warehouses' established were preserved, and they all fell under the frenzied attacks of these Soviet Russian cavalry. Antonescu and Hoffman listened to Thunderbolt several times.

When the scout cavalry of the Soviet Union reported the information to Budyonny, Budyonny immediately laughed.

"It seems that the Romanian cavalry division on the opposite side is using the old strategy of setting up suspicions and retreating while fighting."

"Then what should we do?"

Voroshilov, who was inferior to Budyonny militarily, immediately asked.

In the face of his political commissar's question, Budyonny said with a smile: "Since I have seen through it, then I will cripple them. And it will just relieve the pressure on Smirga and the others."

Thinking of Smirga's urging telegram, Voroshilov nodded and replied, "Alright, let these Romanians know how powerful the Red Army is, so they don't get too complacent."

So under the command of the two men, after the First Cavalry Army Group left a regiment to guard Fewodawa, the other troops immediately pressed on Lieutenant General Wideschi.

In the face of the pressure of the Soviet Russian cavalry, Lieutenant General Weidesiqi immediately took back all the troops he sent, and the hill of Ovitz, which was two or three hundred meters higher than the surrounding area, became his headquarters.

And Budyonny didn't give the old general much time to prepare, and made the decision in the morning. His troops arrived here at noon. Looking at the densely packed cavalry wearing the military caps named after Budyonny in the future, Lieutenant General Widerschi knew that the strategy was successful, and then he needed to hold on until the arrival of the Hoffman Armored Brigade to be victorious.

Budyonny watched the cavalry division's defense from a distance, because the arrival time was short, and a ditch that was hastily dug to less than half a person's height appeared in front of him. There were only a few fortifications made up of earthen bags, but it was his idea, because there were artillery pieces behind the fortifications. Looking at the damp soil that was dug out, Budyonny felt that the odds of winning were better.

While he was observing, the artillery of the cavalry army had already been unloaded, and the artillery was fiddling with the artillery to prepare for fire support for a while. Even soldiers with low military capability can see the haste of the fortifications prepared on the opposite side, which makes them even more morale, and attacking such opponents is their favorite thing to do.

The preparation time is not long (the cavalry with the artillery is lighter, which is convenient for deployment), and Budyonny waved his hand when he saw that it was almost the same. Thus began the Battle of Ovitz.
