Unlike the generals who commanded the battle on the front line, the failure of the first offensive was completely expected by Tukhachevsky. And he didn't hesitate. After the attacking soldiers returned, the second wave of troops was ready.
And this time it was no longer a unit of one division, but two divisions under the command of General Volnov, the commander of the 19th Army. And after seeing that the first wave of offensive was not smooth, he specially collected a lot of sharp weapons suitable for trenches, such as short guns and sharp axes. In addition, four grenades were issued to each soldier. It seems that General Volnov fully considered the shortcomings of the previous battle.
So when the Soviet army launched another offensive, the defensive Romanian army could clearly feel the difference. Fortunately, the current Soviet offensive is still a group charge, which allows the defenders on the position to harvest a wave of leeks.
This is not to say that Soviet commanders will only use the tactic of group charge, but conditions do not allow it. For one thing, because of limited time, the Soviets could not circumvent or circumvent the key point of Bretes. Secondly, the Soviet Army, which was founded less than two years ago, lacks grassroots troops using other tactics.
To know the prototype "Hutier" tactics of the famous penetration assault, you need veterans to do it. In the German army, there are only a few who can use this tactic, let alone the Soviet army that has been recruited for three months on the battlefield. The French Xujin barrage tactics have very high requirements for artillery and are very technically challenging. Moreover, this tactic requires a large number of artillery and ammunition, which the Soviet army cannot currently play.
So at present, the Soviet army can only continue to rely on its own abundant human resources and struggle with opponents to consume it. Even if three or four people spell out one opponent, this is acceptable to the Soviet army.
This is also one of the reasons why Edel has always been reluctant to participate in the Russian Civil War. How can Romania's population of more than 20 million dare to fight with Soviet Russia. If there are three to four hundred thousand casualties, Romania’s vitality will be greatly injured. You must know that the Romanians currently only occupy a little more than six floors of the domestic population. The population of three to four hundred thousand young males can account for between 2-3% of the domestic males. Taking into account the children and the elderly, this is almost close to the number of the same age. This is the core workforce of 18-35 years old, and I don’t know how much contribution I have to make in China.
Not to mention that the current main force of the military is still the Romanian nationality, which is the foundation of its own governance. If it weren't for the alliance with Poland this time, coupled with its opening of the domestic market to Romania, instead of Romania to face the Soviet army alone, no matter how much interest he is, he will not be moved.
This is why even if the great eastern countries are so poor, no one dares to ignore its role. Just letting the 40,000 people go there, it takes a long time for others to think about it. Therefore, before the emergence of nuclear bombs, population was one of the most important components of national power.
This is also a good time for Edel to seize the disintegration of the surrounding powers, the discoloration of the discoloration, and the defeat of the defeat. There are no tigers in the mountains overnight. Of course, you need a monkey to be the king. Unfortunately, Romania is the biggest one.
When the Soviet army launched another offensive that did not give the defenders a rest, the expression of Feleit, who was watching the battle from behind, also changed.
"This Soviet Russian army is really going crazy."
Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Fereit immediately ordered: "Let the 5th Division reinforce the front line positions, so that the Soviet Russian side will extinguish the flames."
Following his order, the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division immediately reinforced them. The effect of the reinforcements on the front line is different. As the fifth division that has fought the Romanian foreign war for more than ten years, its combat effectiveness need not be said. When it went up, it encountered the Soviet army preparing to invade the position. And the Fifth Division was also a bold person in the art, and directly launched a counterattack against it.
When the two soldiers were stuck in the first line, the Soviet soldiers immediately felt the difference between the Fifth Division. Whether it is cooperation or the combat skills and will of the soldiers, they are much higher than the defenders on the original battlefield.
The reinforcements of the Fifth Division soldiers joined the battlefield in groups of three and three as a squad. This tactic is very similar to the well-known three-three tactics of the later rabbits. However, the changes made by the Romanian army based on its actual situation mainly combined the use of machine guns. After all, a Madsen can hold several guns. But even so, this kind of variant leading tactics is enough to make the Romanian army stand out in squad combat.
This kind of close cooperation and fresh tactics immediately caused the Soviet soldiers to suffer a big loss. The Fifth Division used its advantages in weapons and coordination to make the two Soviet divisions on the ground miserable.
Tukhachevsky, who was also watching the game from the rear, had a headache. After all, he is only 27 years old. No matter how genius he is, it is impossible to immediately come up with a solution to this tactic. However, he knew very well that no matter what tactics it was, it had to be achieved by a good junior officer. At present, in the Soviet army, it is very difficult for such lower-level officers to appear.
Because they are all inherited from the imperial Russia era, but in the old era, the grass-roots tactics were not paid enough attention. Even if there are outstanding officers in it, they will be trapped by the quality of the soldiers.
However, no matter what Tukhachevsky did, he could not help the Soviet soldiers who are currently at a disadvantage. With the help of the Fifth Division, the Soviet army was squeezed out little by little from the front line. Looking at this, Tukhachevsky shook his head, it seems that the next offensive strategy needs to be modified.
At this moment, a staff officer ran in and reported: "Report to Comrade Commander, the 11th and 14th Army requests us to send reinforcements to assist them in attacking the blocking Romanian army."
"Smilgar what they are doing and how they are fighting."
Tukhachevsky, who heard the news, immediately felt a fire. Some of these things are not easy to attack, only he knows.
In the face of Tukhachevsky's anger, the staff officer dared not be born for fear of causing fire to his upper body.
Looking at the staff officer who was a little frightened like a quail, Tukhachevsky snatched the telegram and read it for himself.
It turned out that Smirga was complaining. They said in the telegram that they had lost too much of their defensive force before, especially the technical weapons such as artillery and machine guns. And the Romanian weapons and equipment that blocked them are complete, and he can't move them at all. So they want to find Tukhachevsky to support some technical weapons, of course, if there is a new force, it is best.
Tukhachevsky looked at Smirga's request for help on the telegram and fell into deep thought. It is definitely impossible not to give it. After all, they lost a lot in battle before, and they are in short supply if they give too much. After all, artillery, machine guns and other weapons are not widely deployed in the army. Even in the era of imperial Russia, the Russian army was not known for its technical arms.
In the end, he mobilized two artillery regiments for them, and also collected a batch of machine guns and other weapons from the army and sent them there. As for the reinforcements, let's forget it, I am lacking.
While Tukhachevski was trying to find a way to rescue the besieged Soviet army, Piłsudski’s Polish army was also racing against it to encircle and annihilate it.
Among them, the 3rd, 12th, and 16th Army Groups surrounded by Warsaw to Sedelce were the first to be attacked by the superior forces of the Polish army. Piłsudski put all the troops into it except the Fifth Corps and the Attack Corps that besieged the 4th and 15th Army of the Soviet Army. The Polish army, as high as 400,000, launched a fierce attack on the three armies.
The Soviet army, which had run out of ammunition and food, and was besieged under its attack, collapsed in less than three days. As many as 180,000 Soviet soldiers were taken prisoners, and more Soviet soldiers fled.
At this time, the Polish people were not polite to these Soviet soldiers who were unattended, and organized personnel to arrest unattended Soviet soldiers.
As for the 4th and 15th Army, seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately retreated to East Prussia. They were also disarmed by the German side and temporarily detained. So far, the Soviet army in Poland has no formed units, which disappointed Lenin and others in Moscow.
At this time, it was impossible to continue the fight, and the negotiation proposal was sent from Moscow to Warsaw. The Polish army suffered a lot of losses and was unable to fight at this time, so the proposal of Moscow was accepted.
The next negotiation will resolve the dispute between the two sides.
