After receiving the telegram from the Weimar Republic, Mainz did not pay too much attention.
However, he really planned to withdraw at this time.
This was not because he had to comply with Berlin's order, but because their logistics supplies were about to be unable to keep up.
The Germans had suffered heavy casualties in the previous fierce battles.
On an expedition to a foreign country, all logistical supplies need to be transported from the rear.
When there is a large enemy force in the rear, such a supply line is too fragile.
Once the supply line is cut off, it is very likely that they will all The army is destroyed!
That's why he planned to withdraw his troops. After all, the purpose of this battle has been achieved. They have completed teaching Roniya a lesson and captured the opponent's king. As for the things in the opponent's capital, the Germans naturally cannot care about them. , just to prevent those precious cultural relics, gold and other things from being lost or destroyed in the war, so they helped the Roniya people to keep them temporarily.
Of course, whether the Romanians believe this statement is not Mainz's concern!
Soon, after gathering the trophies obtained in the battle and more than 50,000 prisoners of war from the Romanian army, the German army began to retreat with these trophies and prisoners of war.
Of course, as the largest prisoner of war, King Ferdinand I of Roniya must also be taken away!
According to Mainz's plan, he planned to take this guy to Vienna, the capital of Odili, to persuade the 150,000 Romanian troops under Vienna to surrender, and then sign a peace treaty in Vienna to confirm that this time results of the war and demanded war compensation.
Since the Roniya people have the energy to launch a war of foreign invasion, then presumably they should have compensation prepared for the war, right?
Mainz doesn't want too much, just give 100 million pounds and 700 tons of gold. If not, then the 200,000 prisoners of war in the hands of King Ferdinand I and the German army will have to be detained to work to pay off their debts!
The German army was afraid of being cut off from its retreat and supply lines, and the Roniya army was also afraid!
At this time, the Roniya army that was attacking Vienna finally received a telegram from the country and learned that the country had been attacked by the German army.
When they heard the news, they broke out in a cold sweat!
General Bundtner finally understood why he had been so uneasy before. It turned out that the main force of the German army was not in Odili, but had gone to attack his motherland!
"Quick, withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops quickly!"
Realizing that his motherland might be in danger, he immediately ordered the army to retreat and prepare to rush to rescue the defenders in the country.
However, it was easy to come but not so easy to leave!
The reason why Roniya's army was able to There were no obstacles along the way.
On the one hand, General Buntner was cautious by nature and paid great attention to sending out reconnaissance troops to detect the enemy's situation during the march, thus avoiding enemy ambush as much as possible.
Such a smooth entry into the territory of Odili was also because the German army deliberately let them in.
Not only did the German regular army not take any resistance measures, but the militia did not even fight.
The Roniya army did not encounter any obstruction along the way, and naturally entered Odili very easily.!
However, when they wanted to leave, the German army finally started to take action!
""Huh, I want to leave, but not that way."
Model held on for a week under the city of Weyena. While causing a large number of casualties to the enemy, he also suffered huge losses. The
Roniya people stepped into the trap he deliberately set. Immediately afterwards, they were hit by German firepower from multiple directions, which caused heavy casualties to Roniya's army.
However, Banner, who realized that this German army had something to offer, immediately became cautious and turned a blind eye to the weaknesses in the German defense line. , began to attack the German army in a very rigid way.
His tactics were to open the way with artillery and infantry assaults, and to break down the German defense line bit by bit.
This tactic was not brilliant at all. It was just a copy of the tactics in the military school textbooks. A stupid fight.
However, it is precisely this mode of fighting that puts a lot of pressure on Model.
The opponent's tactics are simple and simple. Even a fool can see what the opponent is going to do, but being able to see it doesn't mean that it is wrong. There is a way to deal with it, because the Roniya army is much larger than the German defensive force, and the opponent also has a large number of artillery. These artillery caused huge casualties to the German army during the attack!
The defense battle of Weyena lasted for five days! , the German army killed and wounded more than 6,000 enemy soldiers, and its own losses were close to 5,000 people.
This number of losses was already the record of the most heavy losses for the German army in a single battle since the war began!
So Model regarded it as a great shame and humiliation. When the enemy, which had caused huge casualties to his army, was about to run away, he was naturally very unhappy!
"Order the militiamen to start harassing the enemy as planned, and be sure to slow down the enemy!"
Taking advantage of the militiamen's opportunity to harass the enemy and delay their advance, Model quickly led the main force of the German army and began to take a shortcut to the front of the Roniya people, establishing a new formation on the only way for the Roniya people to return to their homeland. The line of defense!
General Buntner hurriedly set out on the road with more than 100,000 troops.
He originally planned to rush to the country to help his own army.
However, he was continuously harassed by enemy militia on the road, and the Roniya army was forced to fight.
Fighting and stopping along the way, the speed was extremely slow, and the casualties were not small.
After these militiamen were tested in actual combat in previous harassment battles, their combat effectiveness had improved by leaps and bounds.
Under the command of the German army, they carried out guerrilla warfare to the fullest.
The Six-Character Policy was fully implemented.
Although they were facing a regular army that was far ahead of them in terms of size and equipment, they did not have any fear at all. Not only did they not be afraid, but they also used their familiarity with the terrain to combine these forces. The invaders were playing around! The Roniya people had no choice but to move forward. As a result , when they finally reached the border area and were about to breathe a sigh of relief, a German defense line appeared in front of them!
Bang!
Boom!
Suddenly, the fierce gunfire caused the unprepared Roniya army to fall to the ground in pieces.
Opposite them, Hans' battle flag was flying in the wind. Under the flag, that line of defense is like a copper wall, almost insurmountable!
"We may not be able to go back!"
Seeing that the German army actually surpassed him in a very short period of time, ran in front of his own army, and established a new line of defense to block their return, General Bundtner felt very bitter.
The other party seemed to have murderous intent. It was decided that they would not be allowed to leave easily.
This was also true. After being blocked by Model, the Roniya people tried to break through but were beaten back by the German army. Two days later, when the main force of the German army returned to Odili, At that time, the fate of this army of more than 100,000 people was already determined.
