Chapter 700： Battle of Poland (3)

When the Air Force carried out large-scale air strikes on the enemy, the Romanian troops on the border had already crossed the border and rushed into Poland.

The border town of Lubecha, only eight kilometers away from Romania, is stationed here in the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Polish 93rd Division, responsible for defensive tasks.

Faced with the sudden declaration of war between the two countries, the regiment was not prepared at all, and was hit hard by the Third Armored Division. At a distance of eight kilometers, in front of the armored division's maneuver, there was no reaction time at all, and it was directly disabled.

Facing the Romanian invaders, the Polish army showed their tenacity. Before receiving the retreat order, the Polish soldiers made full use of the terrain to counterattack.

It's just that they counterattack, facing the third armored division with absolute superior strength is doomed to be futile.

"9 o'clock position, machine gun."

I saw a heavy machine gun firing at the Romanian soldiers who had surrendered them in a small three-story building. The Polish soldier who operated this machine gun was even able to see the anger in his eyes. The previous raid by the Romanian army caused him to lose many comrades in arms. And now he wants to let these Romanian traitors know how powerful the Polish army is.

Yes, many Polish soldiers are now angry at Romania's invasion. For a long time, the relationship between the two countries has been allies, but now Romania has abandoned Poland to prevent them from knowing the strength of the Polish army. These people will not regret it. When the British and French reinforcements arrive, they must also know how powerful Poland is.

Although the machine gunner hated Romania for his attack, hatred alone cannot kill people. As soon as its machine gun fired, the soldiers of the 3rd Division immediately sought shelter to hide, so apart from the two hapless ones, the firepower of its shooting could only suppress the soldiers.

After the machine gun fired, other Polish soldiers opened fire.

This kind of counterattack did not make the Romanian soldiers helpless. Although they were restricted by sight and could not use mortars, they had another weapon.

I saw an R20 tank appeared in front of the Poles. Its thick armor was not penetrated by weapons in the hands of Polish soldiers. The 75 main gun was enough to eliminate any firepower.

After seeing the tank's appearance, the machine gun obviously lost its momentum. When the sound of the machine gun stopped, the shooter wanted to lift the machine gun and move the position. It's just that the Romanian soldiers who had let him presumptuous for so long would be willing, but before they waited for them to fight back, the R20 tank shot at its position.

The firepower point arranged by the Polish army was thus eliminated.

The Romanian soldiers who got the tank bonus immediately went into the battle to clear the dead enemy in the room.

Such battles can be seen everywhere in the town. As an armored division, there are not many others, but there must be more tanks. Only armored divisions can use tanks to cooperate with soldiers to pay off. And this is not a waste, because it can quickly clear the town, saving time for the next battle.

As the commander of the division, Major General Bordas was a little dissatisfied with the clearing of the troops. "It's almost three hours, and we are still being delayed in Lubecha. This will not work. We must speed up the progress."

Major General Bordas' words attracted the approval of Chief of Staff Li Binkel. "The speed is indeed too slow. We must know that the task given by Lieutenant General Hoffman is to capture Zamosc within two days. If we have been able to break through enemy interceptions like this one by one, we may not be able to complete the task."

Yes, Lieutenant General Hoffman is the commander of the Northern Army. At present, the Romanian army has adopted two divisions in the fight against Poland, with the targets being Krakow and Lublin. And because the pressure on the northern front is heavier, there are more elite troops attached to it. Units such as the First, Third, and Fourth Armored Divisions that are prioritized for replacement with new equipment are given priority to the northern line.

As his former subordinate, Major General Bordas, it is the task of obtaining the vanguard. Since the old officer is so trusted, there is no reason not to use all his strength, and Major General Bordas naturally planned to do so. It's just that it's not easy to go to the teacher. In the small border town, it actually blocked him for almost three hours, which can be described as dulling his face.

Major General Bordas thought for a while and said. "Let the soldiers clear out the buildings on the side of the road first, and leave two battalions waiting for the follow-up troops. We continue to advance towards Zamosc, and we must get there today."

Major General Bordas said, slamming his fist on the battle map, where Zamohic was located.

The Ninth Division of the Southern Front captured the border town of Przemysl, opening a gap for Romania to capture Western Galicia. In the border town of Yaroskov, the Fifth Division and the Eleventh Division have already captured half of the town. The 24th Division of the enemy Polish Army has already suffered more than half of its casualties and is about to be unable to support it.

In Bordas, Major General was also a decisive person who did what he said. After the order was issued, the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Armored Division immediately changed their strategy and gave priority to solving the battle on the roadside.

Of course, this does not mean that the results of the previous clearance have to be handed over. It is just to consolidate the results and wait for reinforcements.

However, when the Third Division stopped its encirclement and suppression, some Polish soldiers could not recognize the situation, thinking that their reinforcements had come to to show up from hiding, trying to contain the adjustment of the Third Armored Division's officers and soldiers, and were severely beaten. After a meal, these talents calmed down.

After leaving two battalions of officers and soldiers, the 3rd Armored Division immediately proceeded along Route 17 towards Zamosc. This highway 17 is the main road connecting Warsaw to Lviv, and it is precisely because of this that the 3rd Armored Division will take the lead.

While Major General Bordas's Third Division was worrying about the possible overdue, Hoffman in the command car was happy for the victory everywhere.

He took a good news and talked to the chief of staff next to him. "Monar, you see, our army has already broken through the enemy's front line, completely disrupting the deployment of the Polish army. I think General Modocksky is now scolding his mother at his headquarters."

Major General Monal, who was the chief of staff, answered with a smile. "The Polish army still uses the thinking of World War I to fight, and its troops are basically deployed within 15-45 kilometers of the border. How can such a weak line of defense stop our offensive. And its strength is not enough, only 210,000 troops, and it is like pepper noodles. Sprinkle it on the first line. We break through every line when we make a breakthrough. I really don’t know what they think."

That’s right, what they laughed at was Poland’s defense deployment against Romania. Poland deployed only 210,000 people on the Romanian border. It was assigned to the Zakarpaqian Army, and its commander was General Modokski.

It’s just that the general’s thinking is still stuck in World War I, and his troops are deployed in this way, which gives the Romanian army a better opportunity to show off.

Then what is this General Modocksky doing?
