"What?" When the tank brigade commander heard this, his chin almost hit the ground: "You said that the 98th Guards Division only dispatched two regiments and occupied most of the city?"
"That's right, Comrade Brigade Commander." The scout replied: "Most of the defenders in the city are Romanian troops and have no combat effectiveness at all. That's why the friendly forces were able to occupy most of the city in a very short period of time."
Knowing that the city was about to be occupied by the 98th Guards Division, the tank brigade commander couldn't help but panic. He immediately summoned several of his battalion commanders to assign combat tasks to everyone.
After the mission was assigned, the first battalion commander took the initiative and said: "Brigadier Commander, although the friendly forces occupy most of the city, I think there should be many enemy anti-tank fighters in the city. Without the cooperation of the infantry, I think we will not be able to survive." Movement inside the city will be very difficult.”
The words of the first battalion commander reminded everyone that the field of vision in the tank was narrow. Without the cooperation of the infantry, the tank could easily be destroyed by anti-tank fighters hidden on the roadside. Therefore, everyone suggested to the brigade commander, hoping to get the infantry's help. support.
"The 195th Infantry Division is near us," the third battalion commander interjected: "Brigadier Commander, see if you can ask them for help."
The tank brigade commander followed suit and immediately contacted the other party through the radio.
The commander of the 195th Division was like an ant on a hot pot, anxious. Therefore, the scouts sent have not returned yet, and he has no idea what happened in the city of Qingselica.
At this moment, the radio operator came to report: "Comrade division commander, the phone number of the tank brigade commander."
The commander of the 195th Division hurried to the radio station, put on his headphones, and raised the microphone: "Hello, I am the commander of the 195th Division."
"Hello, comrade division commander." The tank brigade commander said politely on the phone: "Our brigade is preparing to attack Novoselica, but without the cooperation of the infantry, I am afraid we will not be able to break through the area guarded by anti-tank fighters. So I hope , could you please send me some infantry to help us attack the city."
"Comrade Brigade Commander," the infantry division commander did not immediately reply to the tank brigade commander, but asked tentatively: "Do you know the situation in Novoselica?"
"My scouts just came back and said that two regiments of the 98th Guards Division are currently fighting in the city and occupy most of the city." The tank brigade commander said matter-of-factly: "The defenders in the city are almost uniform. The Romanian army has little combat effectiveness, so I want to put the tank brigade into battle, but it lacks the cooperation of infantry. I hope you can send me some infantry."
Knowing that there were only Romanian troops in Novoselica, the infantry division commander was eager to try. He asked tentatively: "Comrade Brigadier, how many troops do you want?"
"A group."
"A group?"
The tank brigade commander said with some lack of confidence: "Comrade division commander, if you feel that one regiment has too many troops, then you can send us a battalion."
The infantry division commander laughed, and then explained: "Comrade Brigadier, you are mistaken. I don't think you want too many people, but quite the opposite. Well, I'll send two regiments to go with you. Try to assist the 98th Guards Division as soon as possible to capture Novoselica."
The tank brigade commander originally only planned to ask for one infantry regiment, but he did not expect the infantry division commander to be so generous and gave him two regiments at once. He quickly thanked the other party: "Thank you, comrade division commander, I really appreciate it. With so many infantry regiments, If we cooperate, I believe it won’t be long before we can completely liberate this city.”
Half an hour later, under the guidance of the tank brigade, two infantry regiments of the 195th Division launched an attack from the north of Novoselica. In order to resist the attack of the 98th Guards Division, the enemies in the city mobilized all the troops outside the city and concentrated them on the north side of the city for a stubborn resistance.
Facing the sudden appearance of Soviet troops from the north, the remaining Romanian troops could not resist. Seeing the rumble of Soviet tanks approaching, shooting stopped in many areas, and then countless white flags stretched out of the trenches to surrender to the approaching Soviet tanks.
The tank brigade commander knew that with the cooperation of the infantry of the two regiments, his attack on Novoselica would go very smoothly. But what was happening in front of him now made him feel like he was dreaming. Often, as soon as the tanks drove past, many enemies in the trenches would wave white flags and surrender without even firing their guns.
The defenders in the city who were fighting hard with the 98th Guards Division never dreamed that a huge Soviet force would appear behind them. Facing the two-sided attack by the Soviet army, the Romanian defenders lost their will to resist and laid down their weapons and surrendered.
When the Shamrich regiment joined the oncoming tank brigade and the commanders and fighters of the 195th Division, it immediately sent a telegram to Sokov to report its victory.
After receiving the telegram, Sokov smiled and said to Samyko, Trofimenko and Smirnov: "Comrade commanders, I really didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of the Romanian army was so poor. Our offensive only lasted After a few hours, they laid down their weapons and surrendered to our troops."
"Yes, yes," Samek nodded and said, "I can't believe that the defenders' fighting will was so poor that they surrendered to our army without any decent resistance."
"That's fine." Trofimenko said: "The faster the enemy surrenders, the smaller the casualties of our troops will be. I think that in two days at most, our leading troops will be able to enter Romania and push the battle to the end." To the enemy’s territory.”
"That's right." Smirnov nodded and said, "When fighting on our soil, the destroyed towns, villages, farmland, and casualties all belong to us. But if you enter Romania, you will be fighting against the enemy. We have fought on the land, and we don’t have so many scruples during the battle." "What?" Upon hearing this, the tank brigade commander almost hit his jaw on the ground: "You said that the 98th Guards Division only dispatched two regiments. Just occupy most of the city?”
"That's right, Comrade Brigade Commander." The scout replied: "Most of the defenders in the city are Romanian troops and have no combat effectiveness at all. That's why the friendly forces were able to occupy most of the city in a very short period of time."
