Romanian Eagle

He was being surrounded by all kinds of bad news, and the old-fashioned old man was losing his temper. "Damn it, what is Dzersvko ​​doing when Przemyhir was taken by the Romanians so quickly."

After scolding the Dzersfko, Modoksky's beard was even more angry. It's just that the bad news won't stop because of his anger. I saw a staff officer come in with a telegram, and after seeing his expression, he didn't dare to come forward at all.

At this time, the chief of staff, General Martin Kos, who just appeared, resolved the staff's problems.

"give it to me."

Relieved, the staff hurriedly slipped out. The general's momentum is very bad now, so he should hide to the side and talk about it.

"Mox, we need to calm down now. If even we act like we're at a loss, others will be more panicked, which is very detrimental to the current war."

Modoksky is also very clear about the words of his chief of staff. He is also an old soldier who has fought old battles, and naturally knows how to deal with it. It's just that he knows, but he can't suppress the anger in his heart when the truth comes.

There is no way that this battle was too ugly, and several points were defeated within a few hours. You must know that he was expected to stick to it for half a month. Although there are factors of Romania's sudden attack, it shouldn't be captured like this. However, the face of his chief of staff must be given, so Dzersfko's complexion is better than that of the stranger who did not enter before.

Martinkos watched his partner lose a lot of anger, and picked up the telegram he had received from the staff before and read it.

"What, a large-scale enemy armored force appeared outside Zamošić."

Martinkos's words immediately attracted the attention of Dzersfko, and saw that he snatched the telegram from the hand of his chief of staff and looked at it carefully.

The above is a telegram from the defenders in Zamošić, saying that a Romanian armored unit has come from outside the city. It should be a division in size. The defenders hope to get reinforcements.

As the commander of the Transcarpathian Army defending Romania, Dzersfko certainly knew the importance of Zamošić. It can be said that as long as you capture this place, your left-wing troops will be surrounded by the possibility. As long as the enemy continues to attack Lublin in the rear, then the entire right-wing troops will be destroyed. They didn't even have a chance to retreat, and could only be divided and destroyed by the enemy.

As a commander, he would naturally not tolerate such a thing to happen. After some weighing, Dzersfko issued his own order. "Let the 3rd Cavalry Brigade and the 7th Cavalry Brigade go to reinforce Zamošić."

True, Dzersfko intended to use cavalry against Romanian armored forces. Of course, it is not like what some later literary works say, let the cavalry use the saber to cut the tank.

As a qualified general, Dzersfko would never think that cavalry would be able to deal with tanks, despite being somewhat conservative.

He also has his own reasons for doing this, that is to use the cavalry's mobility to quickly reinforce Zamošić and improve his defensive ability. Moreover, the 3rd Cavalry Brigade and the 7th Cavalry Brigade are also the closest to Zamoshic, and they are the most threatening reinforcements, and they are also few trump cards in his hands.

The Polish military has a total of 13 cavalry brigades. Due to the influence of Romania, although Poland still stubbornly insists on retaining cavalry troops, it is mixed with a lot of armored troops.

Its cavalry brigade subordinates three to four regiments, and its cavalry regiment is actually equivalent to a battalion-level unit. According to different troops, there are three regiments and four regiments.

General cavalry regiment; 4 cavalry companies, 3 rows per company. A machine gun company, a bicycle platoon, an anti-tank gun platoon (4), then an engineer platoon, a communications platoon, and so on.

Each brigade has an armored battalion with two armored companies (one with 12 7TP light tanks and one with 9 TPL medium tanks). An armored reconnaissance company (with armored vehicles) and a motorized support company.

There is also an infantry battalion that is identical to the battalion in the regular infantry division, three infantry companies plus a machine gun company, each with a heavy platoon armed with three 46mm mortars.

A mounted artillery battalion has 12 75mm field guns and a motorized anti-aircraft company (2 40mm antiaircraft guns).

This difference from history is mainly due to the enhancement of armored strength, among which the TPL medium tank is a Polish improved version of the Jackal tank. Poland improved the armor (frontal armor increased from 45 mm to 45 mm), improved the artillery (the artillery caliber was increased from 37 to 47 mm.), and optimized the domestic version after the power.

However, only 139 of the tanks were produced in Poland, equipped with only 13 cavalry brigades (three brigades are equipped with one more company).

As a response to Romania's Transcarpathian Army, Dersfko had four such elite cavalry brigades in his hands, and using two cavalry brigades at one time was not a big deal.

Chief of Staff Martinkos had no objection to Dzersvko's decision. For the danger that the left flank may encounter, it is also reasonable to send two cavalry brigades to reinforce it. As for the Romanian armored forces, they still remember that they had shown heroism in the Soviet-Polish war, and the local war in Russia also showed its power.

Following orders from Dzersvko, the 3rd and 7th Cavalry Brigades began to advance towards Zamošić.

Poland responded, so what about Romania?

A brawl is taking place in the headquarters of the 3rd Armored Division outside Zamošić.

"What, let's continue our assault on Lublin?"

Major General Bordas watched Chief of Staff Li Binker speak the latest order and couldn't help saying it loudly. "My chief of staff, have you reported our situation to the general? If you want to continue the assault on Lublin, you can only organize an armored reinforcement regiment at most. With this strength alone, it is very likely to encounter the enemy's superior force. siege."

The general in the mouth of Major General Bordas will only be Lieutenant General Hoffman, which is the usual name from the former general of the armored division.

As for the difficulties in his mouth, what he said is also true. Although the 3rd Armored Division later adopted the practice of detouring to defend the stronghold, but the long-distance advance led to a sharp increase in the failure rate of tanks and vehicles. Along the way, the Third Armored Division has broken down 51 tanks, 29 armored vehicles, and hundreds of other vehicles have broken down.

These equipment and troops were sparsely thrown on the road 80 kilometers from the border to Zamošić, and these equipment and troops were being repaired or waiting for the rear troops to follow up and contain them.

At present, the 3rd Armored Division has been reduced to the point where the loss of nearly three layers has been reduced from the state of being fully loaded. After encountering this order to let the 3rd Armored Division continue to advance, Bordas will argue.

As for Bordas, how could Li Binker not understand. It's just that he has already sent the losses suffered by the third division before, but the order is still sent, so the superiors have their own considerations.

I saw him persuade. "Master, the superiors are well aware of our situation. If they still issue such an order, they must have their own considerations. We only have the part to execute, and there is no possibility of questioning."

The truth in Li Binker's words, Bordas himself is very clear, where the soldiers have the right to question the orders of the superiors, just whimper.

And the superior is not unreasonable, and also proposed that a mixed aviation group will be organized to provide air cover for it.

So he said after thinking about it. "If that's the case, then let's do this, replenish the tanks of the mechanized infantry regiment to the armored regiment to restore its strength. Then I bring the armored regiment and the motorized infantry regiment, plus self-propelled artillery and anti-aircraft guns, to form an armored battle. Group, head for Lublin. Chief of staff, you organize the remaining troops to stabilize the defense and wait until the follow-up troops arrive."

Faced with such a division of labor, Li Binker has no objection. They were not at all afraid that the defenders would suddenly rush out and attack the positions of the third division after the division. You must know that there are at least 2,000 people in the remaining troops, and they are fully equipped. In addition, the more important thing is the 87th Motorized Infantry Division behind them, which is less than 30 kilometers away from them and can arrive at any time.

With the division of the 3rd Armored Division, Bordas took the newly formed armored battle group, bypassed Zamošić, and advanced towards Lublin.

Unbeknownst to him, the 3rd Cavalry Brigade had just departed from Krasny (a key town between Zamošić and Lublin). Now the two troops are rushing towards each other, and more importantly, neither side is aware of it.
