    The French jabbered loudly, which translated into Chinese probably means ¡®This shot!  I'll fuck him!  ¡¯ The soldiers in the trenches were not elegant and calm when fighting life and death. Soldiers would not be considered elegant gentlemen in peacetime. What¡¯s more, France has never been considered a gentleman since the beginning of the world.  A few kilometers ahead, the outpost line that the Russians sent out on a whim was crushed to pieces by the slowly approaching Hungarian armored forces under the eyes of the Russians and French.  Those Russian soldiers screamed every day and were mercilessly killed by machine guns on armored vehicles.  Some particularly brave Russian soldiers tried to reach the blind spot of the armored vehicle turret from the ground level, and were immediately killed by the accompanying infantry.  The Hungarian armored forces, which easily solved the Russian defense line, continued to attack. This time the French no longer engaged in ambush, but went into battle in person.  "Rapid fire! Rapid fire!" the artillery commander shouted the order.  In fact, there is no need for him to shout so hoarsely. The well-trained French artillerymen almost used Miss 75's firing rate of 30 rounds per minute to the limit.  Under such high-speed shooting, the shells roared straight towards the Hungarian armored troops. The shells exploded violently after hitting the Hungarian armored vehicles.  Those that did not hit the armored vehicles also fell to the ground, jumping around for a while before exploding.  After a while, the entire battlefield was filled with smoke and smoke rising.  The line of sight was greatly obstructed.  Miss 75¡¯s gun barrel was already in a high-heat state soon after, and a few French soldiers who were accidentally burned couldn¡¯t help but scream.  Seeing that their choice was wrong, the French officers reacted quickly enough. They immediately conveyed their experience through the field phone, 'Don't bombard too densely, and fight again when you get closer'!  The Russian officers watched the performance of the French Army with their own eyes, and the degree of shock in their hearts was proportional to their ambition. A small number of Russian officers with excellent military skills even vaguely sensed the problem with the Russians.  The Miss 75 is a direct-firing cannon, so this type of artillery can be placed flat and fired directly.  Even so, the shooting angle problem caused by the gun mount still caused French artillerymen to curse.  Unlike the French, the Russians followed the howitzer route.  This kind of large-arc howitzer is really useful when shooting at fixed targets, but it is useless against armored vehicles that are constantly moving.  If you want to improve your hit rate, you have to implement fire coverage.  Russia's steel output is much greater than that of France, and its industrial level is far inferior to France's.  Russia can produce its own rails, but it cannot produce a large number of processed steel products like France.  The artillery bombardment carried out by a thousand French troops just now was already comparable to the firepower of a Russian army.  The French can afford it, but the Russians really can't afford it.  Before the smoke and dust dispersed, the sound of gunfire also stopped under the officer's order.  The only sound on the battlefield was the sound of armored vehicles driving across the road.  ¡®It¡¯s day¡¯!  The French soldiers cursed under their breath.  Being able to survive under such firepower, the sturdiness of the armored vehicles far exceeded the imagination of French soldiers.  A few more minutes later, the French commander already frowned.  Judging from various intelligence points, Hungary's armored forces have extraordinary mobility.  They once spent two hours chasing a Russian cavalry unit. Both sides ran with all their strength for two hours.  The armored vehicles were not left behind by the galloping horses. These steel monsters even performed parallel pursuits and attacked from the front.  Thinking of this, the commander shouted loudly: "Prepare to shoot accurately! These vehicles are traveling very slowly, we have a chance!" Although he did not understand what was going on, the French commander instinctively believed that the Hungarian armored vehicles were not driving slowly.  They do it on purpose, but they don't drive fast.  To survive such intense firepower, armored vehicles must be thick enough.  With heavy armor, the vehicle will not drive fast.  The French gunners waited nervously, and the figures of vehicles finally appeared in the smoke and dust on the battlefield.  The somewhat sour-sounding chirping sound made by the friction of steel is unique to the Hungarian armored forces.  "Fire!" The gunners hid behind the gun mantlet and controlled Miss 75 to fire accurately according to the order.  At a distance of several hundred meters, the artillery shell accurately hit the Hungarian armored vehicle.  Shells exploded on the armored vehicle, but the vehicle stopped briefly and continued moving forward after a moment.  "What the hell is this?" The French gunners were also stunned.  Until an exclamation made them wake up, "There are other things hanging on the outside of those vehicles." The commander's telescope could see more clearly. The originally smooth armored vehicles were covered with a layer of armor composed of squares, which made  The armored vehicle looks much larger.  Seeing the change in the situation, the commander first ordered the artillery to continue firing accurately, 'until the muzzle of our cannon can fire against the armored vehicle!  ¡¯ After shouting, he immediately picked up the field phone and talked to other commanders.  French heavy cavalry was very famous in the Middle Ages, and it doesn't take much time to understand armor.  In fact, somewhere in the brain of the French commanderThere is even excitement in the solitude.  If armored troops could adjust their equipment so flexibly, their performance on the battlefield would be comparable to that of heavy cavalry in the Middle Ages.  When an array of French heavily armored knights begins to charge, all enemies standing in the way will be crushed to pieces.  After that, the French and Russian coalition forces did not know how many more rounds they continued to fire. What they were sure of was that after every Hungarian armored vehicle that appeared in the field of vision had been hit several times, the Hungarian armored forces finally selected the target at a distance of 200 meters.  retreated.  At first, the French and Russian forces thought that the Hungarian armored forces were trying to play some tricks. Only when most of the smoke and dust dispersed did they see seven or eight armored vehicles scattered on the position.  These armored vehicles have been blown up. Judging from the extent of the damage, the Hungarians chose to blow up these vehicles when they retreated, not wanting to leave anything behind that the French and Russians could capture.  "We are victorious!" The French and Russian allied forces cheered in recognition.  The Russians were far more emotional than the French. In the past two or three months, the Hungarian armored troops had become almost invincible on the battlefield.  The Russians were bound to lose every battle. Although the proud Russian army still had the courage to defeat the Hungarians, they really could not find a way to defeat the Hungarians.  This 'victory' of repelling the Hungarian armored forces frontally was particularly powerful for the Russians.  The French and Russian forces thought they had won, and no one in the retreating Hungarian troops thought they had failed.  The Hungarian armor was impressed by the intensity of the French firepower.  The system of the Red Army was modeled on that of the Liberation Army, so the division political commissar personally took the lead. The infantry fighting vehicle he was riding in rushed to the front and received more than a dozen grenades fired from the 75-gun.  Because of the violent vibration, the division political commissar was wearing a helmet, and his head was still damaged from the bumpy collision.  In addition to the tinnitus, the division political commissar also had nosebleeds from time to time.  The chest of the military uniform was almost wet with blood.  Many people suffered similar injuries, and some comrades even vomited blood under the shock wave.  In addition to the damage to the combat effectiveness of the troops in the infantry fighting vehicles, the French's intensive shelling caused heavy losses to the accompanying infantrymen.  The final retreat is also a wise move after assessing the combat effectiveness.  The members of the armored force had never been so angry. The aggrieved commanders arrived at the division headquarters with strong emotions.  However, after seeing that the political commissar was in the same miserable state as them, most of everyone's evil fire dissipated in an instant.  Seeing that the emotions of the comrades were still within the scope of rational discussion, the division commander quickly asked everyone to sit down, and then said: "I am responsible for not thinking carefully this time. We have accumulated a lot of new experience, and while the memory is still there,  "Okay, let's start the discussion." "I don't remember it clearly! It's like there's a bell in my ear. Our chief of staff has been sent to the hospital with a broken bone."  The political commissar of the Second Regiment, like these people, had gauze wrapped around his head and a large black stain on the front of his clothes. He went straight to the point, "How many artillery shells are stored in Bucharest?" Everyone did not start from this angle at first.  Asked about the question of the political commissar of the second regiment, the commander of the first regiment, whose left arm was bandaged and splinted, slapped his thigh with his right hand, "They use the French M1897 75mm artillery. Romania does not have a military factory capable of producing such artillery shells. All artillery shells  They are all firing one shot at a time and one shot at a time. "" Encirclement and reinforcements!" "Yes, there must be a lot of French people in there to fight for the French!" "  ? "The third regiment did not participate in the battle this time, and the commander of the third regiment, who was completely required to complete the battle, questioned the feasibility of this plan.  The political commissar of the second regiment said angrily: "Next time you three regiments go to serve as bait, you will know how dense the shelling is. If these French people dare to do this again, I don't believe how many artillery shells they can transport by sea. They can really transport it.  One million shots, I will be convinced!¡± The leader of the third regiment was not angry, the political commissar of the first regiment was hospitalized, and the leader of the second regiment was seriously injured.  One round inexplicably rolled under the armored vehicle where the regiment leader was riding and exploded, piercing the chassis of the infantry fighting vehicle.  The leader of a regiment probably had the worst luck on the entire battlefield.  So the anger of the second regiment leader is not surprising.  "If you want to encircle a point for reinforcements, you need to rely on infantry." The armored division commander's tone was a little low. He had been galloping around for so long and experienced many fierce battles.  The commander of the armored division felt strange when he mentioned pure infantry.  Although two years ago, he was also an infantry soldier.  "The Russians have radios, and they will definitely tell the Russians outside Bucharest about the new tactics. Even if the Russians don't care about the Russian reports, they will care about the French reports." The leader of the third regiment tried his best to speak in an understatement.  Although he did not participate in the war, he saw and touched the armored vehicles that participated in the war.  After the armored vehicle was covered with 30 mm homogeneous steel armor, it was finally able to withstand the grenade fired by the 75 gun.  But the steel armor was hit by cannonballsThere were many bumps and bruises, and some of the steel ropes connecting the nail plates were seriously damaged, and the nail plates were on the verge of falling off.  Once the armor pieces fall off, the protection of those parts will be greatly reduced Seeing everyone's low mood, the division commander said loudly: "We should not be afraid. The Russians' industrial capabilities are not enough to allow them to maintain the equipment level and firepower level of the French army."  "But what about our industrial capabilities?" the political commissar of the Second Regiment said angrily.  Even though they knew it was because they were angry, the comrades were so excited by these words that they were speechless.  Russia has a history of promoting industry for hundreds of years, and its industry has developed rapidly in recent decades.  When Hungary was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it belonged to Transletania.  Transleitania is characterized by its agricultural area.  Slovakia was originally divided into Neletania and later merged with Hungary.  Slovakia is also an agricultural region, dependent on Austria's own industry.  Therefore, the real industrialization of Hungary actually happened eleven years after the founding of the Slovak People's Republic of Hungary.  Even with the support of the democratic dynasty, and even without mentioning that Russia's natural resources are far superior to Hungary, there is a huge gap between eleven years of hard work and hundreds of years of accumulation.  Thinking of this reality gap, the division commander suddenly felt strong anger in his heart. He shouted loudly: "So what! We are an armored corps. After getting on the armored vehicles, we were given the mission to charge forward. Does the enemy have any  If we don't have the strength to fight back, are we afraid of death and stop moving forward?" After the division commander shouted angrily, the antagonism in the headquarters was immediately raised to a new level, and everyone fell silent.  The political commissar took a look and quickly stood up and said: "After our armored army was established, more than 90% of the armored vehicles lost so far are due to mechanical failures. The rest are due to the Russians' bad luck, and the large-caliber artillery blind cats hit dead mice and hit us.  Let's be honest, once you get inside the car, you immediately feel extremely safe. "The political commissar is indeed a political commissar. He doesn't need to yell like a division commander to get to the core of the problem.  The comrades remained silent, but it could be seen from their expressions that they were indeed convinced.  Whether there is an absolutely safe environment has a huge impact on the psychology of soldiers.  As the political commissar said just now, in the battles before today, only when the luck was extremely bad, the armored vehicle he was riding in would be destroyed by artillery shells.  This probability of casualties is completely within the range acceptable to military personnel.  After today's battle, let alone the accompanying infantry.  Nearly ten armored vehicles that participated in the battle were destroyed. The armored vehicles that took part in the battle were more or less damaged, and the personnel inside the vehicles were not safe.  Such losses did not cause the armored forces to lose their combat capabilities, but really affected their will to fight.  The old era of ¡®only the unlucky ones will make things happen¡¯ has passed.  Cruel facts prove one thing, using 20mm homogeneous armor to carry out critical battles will definitely not be able to withstand the enemy's firepower.  What everyone is most familiar with and most comfortable with is driving a 20mm armored vehicle on a rampage. That good time is gone in just two or three months.  This feeling of loss is the most unbearable thing for everyone.  Seeing that he had grasped the key point, the political commissar felt much relieved.  He solemnly said: "Comrades, we have said this a long time ago, and we should have thought that the enemy is not a target for us. The enemy is also a human being, and there are many smart people among the enemies, let alone brave people. Cruel  Sooner or later, the battle will break out. So how should we respond when faced with these battle tests? What will we get in return for our brave fighting? When things get to this point, we might as well discuss it ourselves.  The amount of information is quite large, and more importantly, it has touched upon the fundamental issue of who to fight for and why.  We are all soldiers of the Hungarian Red Army, so we know very well that such a conversation is meant to inspire bravery to fight to the end.  Regardless of whether reason can accept heroism, biological instinct still secretly reminds comrades to avoid death.  Seeing that the comrades were silent, the political commissar smiled and said: "Commander, you go first. Let's keep our words in mind and don't encourage everyone to die. We look back on the past and just discuss whether war can be avoided. If everyone thinks that war is inevitable,  What we are going to discuss next is how to kill the enemy effectively instead of being killed by the enemy, right?" Upon hearing this, the division commander quickly replied: "That's right, we said it many times back then, the way to survive is.  Destroy the enemies on the battlefield. If the enemies on the battlefield are killed, of course we can survive. If the enemies on the battlefield are still there, no matter how we hide, we will not be safe. Of course, the most important thing now is to get rid of the armored vehicles safely.  Facts have proved that if the previous simple and crude tactics are adopted, the armored vehicles are no longer safe.¡± Under the effective guidance of the political commissar and division commander, the atmosphere of the meeting in the headquarters finally moved in the direction of positive energy.  The division commander quickly struck while the iron was hot and said: "To be honest, I was very disappointed when I saw the situation. For me, the good days before were not enough! Now I can only forget about the good days before."??Lower your head and fight seriously.  I think everyone may agree with me even if they are reluctant.  ¡± The Hungarian Red Army imitated the Liberation Army¡¯s summary meeting after the war, and tried its best to find the key points in everyone¡¯s thoughts and do targeted work. The French army does not have this system and habit. Because of the policy of elite troops, the level of French army officers is very low.  High. Being able to maintain rationality, communicate effectively, and make decisions that conform to the laws of the battlefield. The French officers began to discuss new tactical combinations. The French's rapid-fire artillery level was far superior to that of Germany.  People also knew that their Miss 75 had an absolute advantage over Germany, so they formed the school of rapid-fire gun omnipotence. They added a steel mantlet to the rapid-fire gun, and required artillerymen to advance the 75 rapid-fire gun a thousand meters away from the front line.  Within meters, they suppressed the German front with shrapnel barrages to support the French infantry in launching their proud national skill: bayonet charge. This time, they relied on the basic tactics accumulated by the rapid-fire artillery school to defeat the Hungarian armored forces.  I am full of confidence and believe that the French tactics are very effective. As for the Russians, they also have their own traditions and characteristics. From top to bottom, the officers of the Russian army who have "someone at the top" all send telegrams to the top to claim their military exploits.  All the people's military exploits were to send out a front and then be crushed by the Hungarian armored forces. All parties operated according to the characteristics of each party. One day later, the Hungarian Red Army Military Commission issued an order requiring all units to advance eastward and capture Romania's most important port first.  Constanta. Foreign countries are not allowed to supply more arms and troops to Romania through this port.
