Chapter 412： Rosso conflict (3)

The Soviet Union's large-scale deployment of troops and generals was completely hidden from Romania's sight.

In fact, since Edel planned to annex the Western Ukraine region, the intelligence work on Soviet Russia has become the top priority of the Romanian intelligence department, and its priority has been higher than that of Britain, France, and the United States. So when the southern front army began to behave abnormally, the news that Soviet Russia might be planning to launch a war had already been sent back to the country.

After all, Romanian intelligence agencies have been cultivating in Russia for many years. Even if Soviet Russia comes to power, its hidden intelligence personnel cannot be eliminated.

Facing the news from the intelligence department that Soviet Russia might provoke a war, after reading it, Edel replied, I know.

For Soviet Russia's intention to provoke war, Edel was already prepared in his heart. After all, the greed deep in the bones of the Russians cannot be changed by changing the regime. And this is the time for the Soviet Russian army, Romania is not afraid at all.

Now the Soviet Russian army is not the prestigious and prestigious steel torrent that scared the whole of Europe.

At present, the Soviet-Russian division forces generally have 10,000 to 15,000 personnel, and the machine gun configuration is only between 130-160. The main cannon configuration for suppressing firepower is only 40-50 cannons, basically all of which are 76.2 mm and 57 mm caliber mountain cannons.

It is unceremonious to say that compared with the Tsarist Russia, the weapons and equipment of the Soviet Russian army have declined in artillery, machine guns and other technical equipment.

However, the morale of the army is much higher than that of the Tsarist Russia. And morale is high, when the weapon equipment gap is not too big, it often has the upper hand. This is also the White Guard, which is mainly composed of the Tsarist Russian army, which is why they have repeatedly failed to defeat the Soviet Russian Red Army.

However, the Soviet Russian Red Army can only fight against the White Guards. Compared with the Romanian Army, it is completely incomparable.

Of course, this is also the main enemy of the Soviet Red Army is the White Guards, and the inaction of the Allied intervention army has a lot to do. After all, I have seen the strength of the British and French troops (without effort), so I am afraid that they are far inferior to the British and French Romanians.

When the Soviet Union and Russia were preparing to provoke this war, the Romanians were not idle.

Since the annexation of Western Ukraine, the Romanian military has assembled its forces in Ukraine. All troops have moved from their previous garrison to the front line of Ukraine.

In addition, Major General Salda and Carust, who purchased arms in Germany, are also purchasing large amounts of arms. Weapons and ammunition from one warehouse to another were carried on the train by German stevedores and transported to Romania.

Britain, France and other countries gave the green light to Romania’s purchases in Germany. As long as Romania’s fancy weapons, they immediately asked the German side to ship them. So that the loading and unloading workers could not carry it for a while, causing a large number of arms to reach the railway station.

After learning of this situation, Britain and France even hired other Germans to carry it. Moreover, the British and French sides also expressed their views to Major General Salda and Carrust in Germany that if there are not enough trains, they are even willing to urgently mobilize wagons to help them transport.

It seems to them that they transported these arms to Romania. It seems that they are more Romanian than Salda and Carust.

So with the unremitting help of Britain and France, in a month; more than 700 lefh18 and k16 artillery, 200,000 g98 rifles, 3,000 g08 heavy machine guns, 200,000 tons of ammunition, and 20,000 tons of other materials, Was shipped to Romania.

As a result, the trains used to transport arms have severely affected the normal train operation of the countries along the route, and greatly weakened the travel of the people and the transportation of materials. However, in the face of Britain, France and Romania, these countries also dare not speak up.

After these weapons and equipment were shipped to Romania, they were quickly shipped to the front lines of Western Ukraine.

As a result, the General Staff has racked its brains in order to find enough technicians to use them. In addition to the transfer of artillery personnel from the various units, as long as the non-artillery soldiers and officers who have used artillery, they are immediately transferred to the artillery unit to form a new organization.

Therefore, in just one month, in addition to the rapid expansion of the division-level artillery (from 72 artillery to 108, adding a lefh18 105 howitzer battalion), Romania also added 3 independent artillery brigades (one brigade equipped with 108 artillery pieces). Lefh18 105 howitzer) and three heavy artillery regiments (one regiment is equipped with 54 k16 long-range cannons).

The number of machine guns increased from 156 per division to 238 (mainly the newly added heavy machine guns were allocated to the company, with two new heavy machine guns added for each company). In addition, engineering shovel, battle phone, raincoat, tent and other materials were also added.

While Romania was busy preparing, this time the Western Front (has changed its name) representing Soviet Russia, finally completed the handover work with the Southeast Front.

"Take care, Comrades Berakuen and Gusev. I wish you an early eradication of Denikin's white bandit army."

At the time of parting, Western Front Army Commander Yegorov and Political Commissar Stalin were saying goodbye to Southeast Front Commander Gusev and Political Commissar Berakuen.

"You also take care, Comrade Stalin and Yegorov. I wish you an early defeat of the Romanians. Our Southeast Front Army will cheer for this."

After Stalin and Yegorov waved goodbye to Belakun and Gusev, they got into the car. Under the **** of the soldiers, we drove towards Kiev.

Bela Kuhn greeted Gusev and said, "Well, we will face Denikin alone next."

"We are not afraid of him. If we can drive him from near Moscow to Kerim, we can drive him to the sea."

"You are still so optimistic."

"This is the confidence of a Bushehrvik person."

"Hahaha"

Stalin and Yegorov who left by car were also talking, but they were talking about intelligence from the Western Front.

Stalin sitting in the car said to Yegorov next to him: "The 14th Army has arrived in Kiev."

"Now we are more at ease, at least we don't have to worry about Kiev being raided by Romanians."

Stalin added new news: "The 2nd Cavalry Army has departed from Kukksk and is expected to arrive in ten days. In addition, the 9th Army sent a telegram saying that it met while passing through Moziri in the Belarusian region. In the blizzard weather, the troops were moving slowly for fear that they would not be able to keep up with the scheduled time."

After hearing that the 9th Army was not in time, Yegorov cursed: "This **** weather."

"Comrade Stalin, you can tell me any news."

Facing Yegorov's question, Stalin shook his head and said: "We have so much news now, but it is news from the opponent Romanian."

"tell me the story."

It seems Yegorov is also very concerned about his opponent's situation.

"According to our people’s understanding, Romania currently purchases a large number of arms from Germany. There are hundreds of artillery pieces, all with a caliber of over 100 mm. According to analysis, they are the latest German Lefh18 105 howitzer and K16 Krupp 150. Cannon There are also a large number of machine guns and ammunition."

"This battle is not going to be fought. These **** imperialists will be wiped out by the proletariat sooner or later."

Hearing what Stalin said about the intelligence, Yegorov felt a headache. These weapons and equipment will greatly threaten the safety of the Red Army soldiers, but they have no choice. Maybe there is a way.

Egorov thought of the idea and said: "We can't let the Romanians send these arms to the front line safely. This is irresponsible to the soldiers. Like other countries, can we encourage their workers to strike to support us? "

After Yegorov's advice, Stalin shook his head and said: "The central government has considered this before, but according to the intelligence sent by our Romanian comrades. The domestic stubborn forces are very large, even they are all. It is not possible to directly propagate under the banner of the Communist Party. Moreover, due to too many reactionary statements in the domestic public opinion, the deceived ordinary people are very hostile to us."

Stalin's words made Yegorov's idea of ​​sabotaging internally shattered. It seems that only the battlefield can witness his strength.
