Chapter 1602: Stormy Hungary 2
Chapter 1602 The precarious Hungary 2
It has to be said that the Hungarians are still very lucky in this aspect. Although Romania is a chicken, it is not that easy for the Hungarians who are also weak to deal with them, but fortunately, for Ploiesti In the oil fields, the Bavarian Army took the initiative to help the Hungarians defeat the main Romanian army, and then, except for a few important areas, everything else was handed over to the Hungarians. For Hungary, it got such a huge asset without paying any price. Benefits, what is this if not luck?
When watching the Romanian flag fall in Bucharest, the joy and excitement in the hearts of the Hungarians were beyond words. However, all of this went wrong after the Hungarian Army suffered heavy losses on the Eastern Front! And everything that Hungary had gained before gradually disappeared!
"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 supplies accumulated for several years. It can be said that the entire Hungarian army has directly set back more than 5 years. , while the backbone of the Hungarian nation has regressed for more than 10 years!" the Hungarian army commander said when meeting with Prime Minister Tisza.
Even though Prime Minister Tisza has adopted quite a few stabilizing domestic policies, and even if, for the first time, the Hungarian national army began to withdraw from the front line to the country, it is a pity that Hungary, which is already in decline, 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!
There is no doubt that the Bavarian Army destroyed the main force of the Romanian Army. However, based on the time the Bavarian Army was in Romania, it was impossible to fundamentally eliminate the resistance in this region. In order to avoid falling into the quagmire, the prince handed over everything to the Hungarians except for a few key points. And don't forget, there are many Romanians and people of other nationalities in the Hungarian army! At a time when nationalism is rampant in Europe, if you ask the Romanians to pay off the Romanians, you can imagine how inefficient this is with your knees!
When the Hungarian Legion has sufficient strength, it can at least guarantee superficial stability. However, once there is a problem with the military power that is the basis of rule, not only the Romanian resistance forces resurgence, but even Romania in the Austro-Hungarian army decided to fight back. Got it! The latter's rebellion was even more deadly because they directly gave the Romanian rebel army enough armaments and supplies! The Russian and French officers originally hidden in Romania made this rebel army full of wisdom in action!
A Russian cavalry commander named Semyon Mikhailovich Budyonny became the core staff member of the rebel army. He proposed a practical plan to the Hungarians: "If you want to launch an uprising, , absolutely cannot be launched in Bucharest, Ploiesti and important railway lines along the way! Because these places are the counterattacks of the Bavarian Army, and the strength of the opponent is something that Romania cannot resist, even if all men in Romania join the army. Unable to resist the steel torrent of the Bavarian Legion.
"
"So, the location of our uprising should be in the northeastern region of Romania, which is far away from all the German army's garrison, and there is not much conflict with their interests. We only need to face the Hungarians. And we can still get Support from non-Hungarian nationalities. This is the last area occupied by the Hungarians, and their control is still very weak. It is also an important material turnover base. Our occupation here can solve the problem of equipment and personnel, so we chose Iasi as the uprising Center is the best choice!”
In fact, the suggestion of this famous Soviet Marshal who is now famous in history is indeed correct! This is exactly the weakness of the Hungarian Army! When the uprising was launched, tens of thousands of Hungarian rebels and the Hungarians within the Austro-Hungarian Empire immediately took control of the Iasi area and intercepted a large amount of materials and equipment that were originally destined for the front line. As a result, the entire Romanian Army changed out of control! It makes Hungarians feel extremely troubled!
I want to ask if the Romanians can fight? How do you say this? It will definitely not work against pure German troops, but it would be a bit too much to say that the Romanian army did not fight a beautiful battle in the entire history of World War I. For example, in the historical Battle of Mollesesti, more than 240,000 Allied troops and 210,000 Romanian troops under Mackensen's personal command launched a 33-day battle. After the battle, the Allied troops not only failed to advance, Instead, the battle line retreated several kilometers... It is true that the result of this battle cannot save Romania, but it also proves the truth that with the help of poor soldiers and 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 stronger 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 attack first. These troops included 100 battalions of infantry (50,000 people), 10 cavalry squadrons (1,356 people), 69 heavy artillery (including 12-inch Skoda heavy artillery) and 9 armored trains. They faced 92 The Romanian army has battalions of infantry (48,000 people), 58 cavalry squadrons (12,000 people), 80 artillery pieces (the largest caliber is only 155MM) and 2 armored trains.
In terms of strength, the Romanian army has a slight advantage, and in terms of equipment, the Hungarian army has an advantage. Overall, the radius is eight liang. The Hungarian army launched an attack on July 20, and did have a slight advantage at first. However, Romania soon 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 status in World War 1. However, this time, after the main force of the Hungarian army was severely damaged, the Romanians rose up and launched a direct counterattack, which really made the Hungarians feel unable to deal with it!
120,000 Hungarian troops fought a 10-day battle with 100,000 Romanian rebels in Iasi. The result of the battle was no surprise. The Hungarian ethnic motley army lost to the Romanians, and the 120,000 Hungarian troops only returned 6 Tens of thousands of rifles, thousands of machine guns and hundreds of cannons were sent to the Romanians at the same time, so Prime Minister Tisza came to Vienna again!
