| Introduction |
|---|
|
Three lines of fortifications ringed Odessa, the city could receive supplies and reinforcements by sea, and the Soviets usually had control of the air. Nevertheless, the Armata Romana pushed its regiments forward. The first attack wave went against the Soviet troops dug in around the Razdelnaya railway station. |
| Conclusion |
|---|
|
After bloody fighting, at times hand-to-hand, the Romanians took the railway station and the built-up area around it. Already, lightweight Romanian artillery support and Soviet tenacity showed early signs that Odessa would not fall without a struggle. |
