They always took the initiative to attack and chase the enemy. Even if they were attacked by the enemy, they could hold their positions firmly and stand still. How could they be chased by the enemy?
However, in order to complete the task assigned by Model, they had to bite their teeth and complete it even if they couldn’t do it.
So, in the eyes of the Romanians, they saw a defeated army that couldn’t even run away.
“The Hungarian army is too weak. They can’t fight, and they can’t even run. Look at them, they have to stop to catch their breath after running a few steps. How can they be an army? They are clearly a group of farmers put together at short notice!”
The Romanians felt that they had defeated the enemy, so they had a great psychological advantage. So when they saw the Hungarian army retreating in a panic, they were in the mood to mock them.
“Haha, this is not good. This army is so incompetent. Doesn’t this give us the opportunity to easily capture Budapest, the capital of Hungary?”
“Yes, this army has a lot of people. Most of them are temporarily assembled by the city of Budapest to stop us. If we defeat this army, there will be no more troops available in the city of Budapest!”
General Bantner, the chief general of Romaniya, breathed a sigh of relief. His life has been overshadowed since the disastrous defeat in the attack on Odili seven years ago. If King Ferdinand I had not always trusted him, he might have been dismissed long ago!
In fact, General Bantner has always wanted to wash away the shame of the year with his own performance, so he has been looking for opportunities over the years.
Now, this is undoubtedly his best chance.
As long as his army can successfully capture the city of Budapest, then the German army attacking Czech will be blocked by them in the south.
If he retreated, he would most likely be surrounded and annihilated by the allied forces of the British Empire, Czech Republic, and Poland in the city of Bratislava!
Although it was not his own achievement to destroy a German army, it could be regarded as a slight wash away of his shame!
In order to achieve this goal, he must not miss this great opportunity. He must catch up with this army, eat them all, and then quickly take over the city of Budapest and complete his work!
Thinking of this, he finally made up his mind and ordered:
“Pass the order down, let the whole army speed up, catch up with this enemy, and destroy them all!”
After Bantner’s order was issued, the Romani army began to speed up!
They accelerated the speed of pursuit, and the gap between the troops in front and the troops behind quickly widened!
This situation was immediately seized by Model, who had been patiently waiting for an opportunity!
“This guy, I thought he could resist such a great temptation and choose not to pursue!”
When Model saw that the Romani army suddenly stopped for a while during the pursuit, he almost thought that the other party had seen through his conspiracy, but fortunately, the other party did not stay for long, and soon continued to move forward, and even accelerated!
From the fact that the other party accelerated the pursuit, it can be seen that the other party was completely fooled!
If they still had a little bit of vigilance, they would not have set up a long snake formation to pursue like this.
Doesn’t this formation give the German army a chance?
Although Model is known as a master of attack, it does not mean that he really has no offensive strength.
His title means that compared with his defensive ability, his offensive ability is not so outstanding, but Model is an excellent general after all. If his offensive ability is not outstanding, it depends on who he is compared with.
Compared with offensive geniuses such as Manstein and Guderian, he is indeed not as good as them.
But compared with ordinary generals, Model is not bad at all!
“”Prepare to close the net!”
Moreover, now is the time for Model to do what he is best at: defend and counterattack!
The first shot of the Second Army was started by the two armored divisions under his command. Model’s troops were equipped with an armored unit of an army, with three armored divisions under them.
One of the armored divisions was stationed by Model in Jasbereni, and the other two divisions were deployed on the left and right sides of his ambush circle. The purpose was also very clear, that is, to rush out immediately at the first moment of the war to cut off the connection between the front and back of the enemy.
The Romanians were not prepared for the enemy’s counterattack at all, because in their view, once the Hungarian army was defeated, they would never dare to turn back to resist. They would only be defeated to the end and only care about escaping, and would never have the mind to do anything else!
Their cognition was not wrong, after all, the Hungarian army did behave like this.
But their mistake was that they mistook Model’s Second Army for the Hungarian army!
On February 8, two German armored divisions suddenly cut into the battlefield from the rear of the Romanian army, easily cutting off their front and rear divisions into three parts that could not take care of each other.
After the armored unit took action, the other German troops seemed to have received a signal, immediately stopped retreating, and turned back to fight back. The
Romanian people were chasing hard at this time, and they did not expect that the enemy would turn around and attack them.
So at the beginning of the battle, they were stunned by the fierce counterattack of the German army!
The tactical level and fighting will shown by the German army in the battle far exceeded their expectations.
What’s more serious is that they seem to have entered an airtight encirclement.
Why do they feel that there are enemies everywhere, and there are iron walls everywhere!
“General, we seem to be surrounded!”
The Romanians realized that something was wrong and ran to their general Bantner in panic, hoping that their commander could come out to save them!
But Bantner is just a man, not a god. It was good enough that he realized at the first time that this was a trap set by the enemy for them!
He really couldn’t come up with a solution to the huge crisis at the moment!
Moreover, facing such a fierce attack by the German army, a certain bad memory that had been sealed in Bantner’s heart for a long time was turned up again!
The feeling of the opponent’s attack was too much like the German army seven years ago!
That’s right!
It must be the German army!
Although this army was wearing Hungarian uniforms, they were definitely not The Hungarian army, the Hungarian army does not have such a strong army!
When he thought that it was the German army that ambushed him, Bantner’s heart suddenly became more desperate!
If they were attacked by other people, maybe they would have a chance to resist.
But since it was the German army that attacked them, then they really had no chance.
The battle seven years ago had already left a psychological shadow on the Romanians!
Not only Bantner himself, but even the others, after realizing the true identity of this army, all changed their faces!
However, there was a question that bothered them: Wasn’t it said that Hans’ army was in the north?
How did they run to the east?
On February 8, the main force of Romani was surrounded by the German army in the Sollok area, and was soon eaten by the German army!
This news surprised all the countries participating in the war!
After learning the news, the government and citizens of Hungary celebrated happily!
The arrival of this news means that their capital will not be threatened by the enemy for the time being!
The Sun Never Sets and his allies were shocked after hearing the news!
Aren’t the Germans in Bratis?
When did they go to Sollok?
Could it be that Hans has sent reinforcements from the mainland again?
It must be like this!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Hungary’s own army to eat up 250,000 of the main forces of Romani in one bite!
Although this army wore Hungarian uniforms, no one would believe that they were the Hungarian army!
They must be the German army, because apart from the German army, they couldn’t think of anyone else who could eat up 250,000 troops in such a short time!
“It seems that Hans has sent more troops. In this case, we must speed up and eat up the German troops in Bratis as soon as possible!”
After hearing the news, the British made a decisive decision after being shocked. They must first deal with the German troops in Bratis, and then deal with the other German troops in Hungary!
