The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1602: Hungary II

Slide 1602

I have to say that the luck of the Hungarians on this plane is still very good. Although Romania is a broiler, it is not so easy for the equally weak Hungarians to clean up them, but fortunately, for Ploiesti The Bavarian Army took the initiative to help the Hungarians defeat the main army of Romania, and then, except for a few important areas, the rest was handed over to the Hungarians. For Hungary, it was so big without paying any price. Good thing, this is not lucky?

When watching the Romanian flag in Bucharest float down, the joy and excitement in the hearts of the Hungarians was beyond words. However, all these problems appeared after the Hungarian Army was hit **** the Eastern Front! And let everything that Hungary got before gradually vanish!

"After this battle, the remaining strength of the Hungarian national army did not exceed 200,000, and we lost more than 70% of the heavy weapons and accumulated supplies for several years. It can be said that the entire Hungarian army regressed directly for more than 5 years. , And the backbone of the Hungarian nation has regressed for more than 10 years!" The Hungarian army commander said when he met with Prime Minister Tisza.

Even though Prime Minister Tisza has adopted quite a lot of domestic policies to stabilize the country, even if the Hungarian national army began to recycle from the front line to the country in the first place, it is a pity that Hungary, which is already declining, has adopted the current policy. The best choice at this stage, they are still unable to suppress other ethnic groups, and the first problem is Romania!

It is true that the Bavarian Army eliminated the main force of the Romanian Army, which is beyond doubt. However, it is impossible to eliminate the resistance in this area from the time of the Bavarian Army in Romania. In order to avoid falling into the quagmire, the prince gave the Hungarians everything except a few key points. And don’t forget, there are many Romanians and people from other nationalities in the Hungarian army! At a time when nationalism in Europe is on the rise, you can let the Romanians pay the Romanians. How inefficient this is can be imagined with your knees!

When the Hungarian Army is sufficient, it can at least guarantee the stability on the surface, but once there is a problem with the military power that is the basis of the ruling, not only the resistance of Romania will come back to life, but even Romania in the Austro-Hungarian army decided to fight back. Up! The latter's rebellion was even more deadly, because they directly gave this Romanian rebel army enough armaments and supplies! The Russian and French officers originally hidden in Romania made this rebel army full of wisdom in its actions!

A Russian cavalry commander named Semyon Mikhailovich Budjoni became the core staff officer of this rebel army. He proposed a practical plan to the Hungarians: "If you want to launch an uprising It must not be launched in Bucharest, Ploiesti, and important railroad areas along the way! Because these places are the inverse scales of the Bavarian Legion, and Romania cannot resist the strength of the opponent, even if all Romanian men join the army. Unable to resist the steel torrent of the Bavarian Legion."

"Therefore, the location of our uprising should be in the northeastern part of Romania, far away from the station of all German troops, and there is not much conflict of interest with them. We only need to face the Hungarians. And we can still get here. Support from non-Hungarian peoples. This is the last area occupied by the Hungarians, and their control is still very weak. It is also an important material turnover base. We can solve the problem of equipment and personnel by occupying here, so I chose Iasi as the uprising The center is the best choice!"

In fact, the suggestion of this famous Soviet marshal who is now emerging from history is indeed correct! This happens to be the weakness of the Hungarian Army! When the uprising was launched, tens of thousands of Hungarian insurgents and the Hungarians within the Austro-Hungarian Empire immediately controlled the Iasi area, and intercepted a large amount of materials and equipment that were originally to be transported to the front lines. As a result, the entire Romanian Legion changed beyond control! It makes Hungarians very difficult!

I want to ask if the Romanians can fight? How do you say this? It is certainly not good to face the purely German troops, but it is too much to say that the Romanian army did not fought a beautiful battle in the entire history of World War I. For example, in the historical battle of Malchesti, more than 240,000 Allied forces and 210,000 Romanian troops under Mackenson’s personal command fought a 33-day battle. After the battle, the Allied forces not only failed to advance. Instead, the front retreated a few kilometers... It is true that the result of this battle cannot save Romania, but it also proved a truth. In the case of the soldiers, with the correct guidance, the Romanian army can still fight.

And if we compare the combat effectiveness of the Romanian army and the later Hungarian army, then we can only say that under the same circumstances, the Romanian army is better than the Hungarian army!

For example, the battle that broke out on the Tisza River between the Hungarian Red Regime and the Romanian Army on July 20, 1919 in history can illustrate this problem. The Hungarian army launched the first offensive. These troops included 100 battalions of infantry (50,000 people), 10 cavalry squadrons (1356 men), 69 heavy artillery (including 12-inch Skoda heavy artillery), and 9 armored trains, with 92 opposing forces. The battalion of infantry (48 thousand ~lightnovelpub.net~a cavalry squadron (12,000), 80 artillery (the largest caliber is only 155mm) and 2 armored trains of the Romanian army.

In terms of strength, the Romanian army has a slight advantage, while in terms of equipment, the Hungarian army has the advantage. Generally speaking, the radius is eight or two. The Hungarian army launched an offensive on July 20, and it did gain a little advantage at the beginning, but soon Romania launched a counterattack on July 24, crossed the Tisza River on July 29, and entered on August 3. Budapest, the capital of Hungary...

Therefore, the Hungarian army had no position in World War I. However, this time, after the main force of the Hungarian army was hit hard, the Romanians set off a direct counterattack, which really made the Hungarians feel unable to cope!

120,000 Hungarian troops fought a 10-day battle with 100,000 Romanian insurgents in Iasi. The result of the battle was no surprise. The Hungarian national army lost to the Romanians, and the 120,000 Hungarian army only returned 6 Wan, at the same time tens of thousands of rifles, thousands of machine guns and hundreds of cannons were delivered to the Romanians, so Prime Minister Tisza came to Vienna again!
