Romanian Eagle - Chapter 735

The three consecutive days of financing have made the Greek army under the command of General Mandiv more fully prepared.

　　 And the air force’s attack also let Greece know what a modern air strike is. In three consecutive days of 4,000 sorties of high-intensity air strikes, the defenders lost 80% of their anti-aircraft weapons. Lost 281 artillery, 981 vehicles, 21l trains, destroyed more than 4,000 tons of ammunition, casualties of more than 15,000 officers and soldiers, and more than 8,000 civilian casualties.

　　 Such a huge casualty and loss of equipment have caused a lot of grievances in the Greek army. Although the casualties of the soldiers were not serious, the loss of equipment was too large, and the entire Greek army had less than 600 artillery pieces.

　　 At the time when the Greek defenders were the most uncomfortable, the Romanian army began a large-scale offensive.

　　 Outside the defense line, more than three hundred cannons with a caliber of 150 mm or more were gathered. Their task will be to blast a gap in the defense line of Lepto Kalia, which is less than 30 kilometers away.

　　 In addition to these more than 300 heavy-caliber cannons, there are more than 600 millimeter-caliber cannons, which will also join the chorus.

　　In the early morning of the day, with the order of Admiral Mandiv, thousands of medium and large-caliber artillery began to fire on the Greek positions.

　　 “Boom, boom, boom!”

　　 The fierce shelling made the earth tremble. The officers and soldiers on the position of the Greek defenders felt the artillery fire on the western front of World War I for the first time. The fierce shelling left the position without a foothold, and the violent explosive shock wave destroyed everything that could be seen in front of him.

　　 “Boom!”

　　 A field bunker was blown to pieces by a large-caliber heavy artillery.

　　 “Boom!”

　　 An anti-cannon hole was hit, the soil on the top floor was directly destroyed, and no one escaped.

　　 “Boom!”

　　 A well-concealed cannon was hit, and the cannon, which was turned into parts, formed a second shock wave.

　　The intensive shelling was like rain. Many Romanian officers and soldiers had never seen it. They all looked at the shelling. Now they are not worried about their safety at all, because the defenders have now decided that they have no energy to take care of them. The priority for the defenders now should be to survive this earth-shattering shelling.

　　 In the face of this shelling, Captain Ledley, who experienced it personally and survived afterwards, wrote in his diary. “The Romanian shelling made me feel like the end of the world. My soldiers and I were terrified. Everyone in the bomb shelter was praying to God that he would bless us through this disaster.”

“And I have to admit that our prayers worked. After the shelling, we saw a 210mm shell on the blasthole. Fortunately, it was a dud. Otherwise, I and the first row would all be killed. It’s just my second row. And the fourth row were not so lucky, they were all hit by the enemy. At the time I thought I was lucky, but our encounter only knew that this was just the beginning…”

　　 Yes, the Romanian shelling not only caused heavy casualties to the Greek defenders, but also severely damaged the morale of the defenders.

　　 The Romanian side, which suffered such a blow to the Greek army, threw 30,000 tons of artillery shells on the head of the Greek garrison in just 4 hours. Although the cost was huge, the effect was also effective.

　　 Of course, General Mandiv’s gift for Greece is more than that. At the end of the artillery formation, nearly four hundred bombers, under the cover of more than one hundred fighters, pounced on the defenders. More than one hundred of them are RU18 dive bombers capable of precise bombing.

　　 This aircraft is well received by the navy and army, and its effect on the battlefield is far higher than that of the RU28 twin-engine bomber. Because of its screaming dive, many people call it the Stuka of Romania. Although the performance of the RU18 dive bomber is worse than that of Stuka, its reputation is far inferior to that of the German Air Reaper.

　　 Just for this air support, the Southern Air Force of the Air Force collected most of the bombers in their hands. These fighters flew from Thessaloniki, Serre, Kavala and other places. Among them, the nearest airport is on the Halkidiki Peninsula, which is less than 50 kilometers away from the airport. Thermaic Gulf is less than 50 kilometers away.

　　 With the arrival of Air Force fighters, ground forces also began to attack the defending positions. Only this time tanks from the 4th Armored Division were also mixed in.

　　Although the Romanian armored forces are very experienced in using tanks in a concentrated attack, it does not mean that they will not use step-tank coordination. Under the leadership of a large number of tanks, Romanian soldiers can better exert their combat effectiveness.

　　In the face of the Romanian army’s offensive with ground and air cooperation with Gabutan, the Greek army was in a panic.

　　 “Enemy tank!”

　　 A soldier saw an R20 tank slowly moving towards the position, and let out a heart-piercing shout. It’s just that his reminder is useless against the position, because the whole position is without anti-tank guns. Not to mention anti-tank guns, not even an anti-tank gun. Why are there no such anti-tank weapons in the position, because there is no procurement in the Greek army.

　　 That’s right, with the rapid development of armor technology, the Greeks believe that the country’s terrain is not suitable for tanks.

　　 Therefore, Greece lacks anti-tank weapons. Its entire army has only millimeter anti-tank guns and 48 Boyce 14-mm anti-tank guns (less in history).

　　 Such anti-tank weapons can’t stop even an armored battalion. They are owned by the entire army and cannot be concentrated in one position. Unfortunately, there was not even one anti-tank gun in this position.

　　 So in the face of such a situation, the defending commander was blinded, so he could only shout loudly. “Prepare the dynamite bag.”

　　 Yes, Greece is now planning to use manpower to blow up the slowly moving tanks, but they don’t know enough about Romania’s tank coordination. The few death fighters who attacked all died before they could touch the tank for 100 meters.

　　In Romanian infantry tactics, the infantry needs to protect the tank, and the tank in turn helps the infantry clear the fire.

　　 “Boom!”

　　 The R20 tank used the 75mm tank gun to directly aim at a point of fire, and sent it to the sky with one shot.

　　 “Boom!”

　　 is another firepower point being sent to the sky.

　　 faced the firepower point that was destroyed by tanks one after another, which made the defending commander blind. Once he gritted his teeth, he could only continue to use his life to replace the tank that made him angry~www.mtlnovel.com~ It’s just that the attacking Romanian soldiers won’t let him do so. The G33 semi-automatic rifle in his hand will allow anyone who tries to get close to the tank None of the Greek soldiers succeeded.

　　 In the face of such a rogue dismissal, the defenders have no choice but to carry it on their own. It’s just the practice of procrastinating life, how can it last.

　　 “Ah, I want to go home!”

　　 A Greek soldier couldn’t stand the pressure, so he dropped his weapon and ran away. Driven by him, more Greek soldiers dropped their weapons.

　　 “Come back, you all come back quickly.”

　　 Seeing the collapse of his own soldiers, the defending officer yelled anxiously.

　　 It’s just that he alone can’t save this situation. In fact, it’s not just his position, but almost the entire position. If you look down from the air, you will find that on the defensive position, facing the Romanian attack, swarms of people are evacuating.

　　 And this is caused by the pressure from the Romanian army. In history

　　 The Greek army that defeated the Italian army and occupied southern Albania, faced the blow of Romania’s modernization, and could not sustain a round at all.

　　 Facing the collapse of the Greek army, Admiral Mandiv also saw clearly, he picked up the phone. “General Hoffman, now you are on the court.”

　　 Following the order of General Mandiv, there was a louder roar on the Romanian side.
