The loss of Shedelce put the situation of the Soviet troops in Poland in jeopardy.

The soldiers of the 3rd, 12th, and 16th armies, who were evacuating from Warsaw, were in an uproar when they heard that Shedelce had been occupied. Many of them have secretly broken away from the troops and retreated to the territory of Soviet Russia on their own, and no matter what the political commissars say, it will not work.

The 4th and 15th armies were even worse, they also fought with Polish troops on the Vistula line. When he heard that Shedelce was occupied by Poland behind him, he almost caused a mutiny, and if it were not for the commander's bullet press, he would have collapsed on his own.

However, although he could barely bounce down, someone pushed him. The Polish Fifth Army, led by its commander, General Sikorski, immediately launched a counteroffensive against it, causing a rout of the frightened 4th Army. In one day the 4th Army had retreated 40 kilometers and was already approaching the East Prussian border.

And the 15th Army in the lower reaches of the Vistula also became frightened, and immediately moved its troops towards the border of East Prussia. It was intended to join the 4th Army and then retreat along the line of Mvawa and Ostrovinka towards the Bug River.

For a time, the Soviet troops in Poland retreated to the Bug River. They plan to drag through the attack of the Luo Bo coalition first, and then fight them when they receive reinforcements. However, their wishes would not be accepted by the Romanian and Polish armies, especially the Polish side.

As far as Poland is concerned, the huge strategic advantage that it has won at great cost cannot be allowed to slip away from the victory that is about to come. Therefore, after the capture of Shedelce, Pilsudski immediately set out on the road with the assault corps and the 2nd corps.

Their next target was Ostruf, and as long as they captured the town on the Bug River, the Bug River would become a natural line of defense for them to intercept the Soviet army. For the Soviet army, which is currently panicked and demoralized, isn't this a natural danger?

While Poland was preparing to turn its plan into reality, Admiral Fereit also commanded the Romanian army, which had been intercepted by the Soviets, and rushed to Brest.

On the road from Warsaw to Minsk, there was a long line of Romanian soldiers with no end in sight. The soldiers, horses, vehicles, artillery, etc., on the road, looked like a mess from a distance. But when you walk to the front, you will find that everything is in order, and each has its own rules for traveling. And on the side of the road, there are also gendarmes wearing white helmets from time to time, directing the traffic on the road.

Admiral Fereit, who commanded them, marched in the middle of the ranks with his command. And the logo of his headquarters is obvious, and dozens of vehicles produced by Volkswagen that somewhat resemble buses are his mobile headquarters.

However, these cars are different from the public transportation vehicles in the city, and the body has been raised a lot in order to facilitate the movement of the wild people. Moreover, compared to the six-wheeled public transport vehicle, this vehicle is eight-wheeled, and not only that, the tire width is wider than that of civilian vehicles. In addition, in terms of engine configuration, its 120 horsepower engine is also enough to ensure that it has good maneuverability in the field. In terms of performance in all aspects, this is the best field command vehicle at the moment.

The only drawback is that it is too expensive, and the cost of up to 51,000 lei is almost equal to that of a tank. However, who made the current military prestige enough, so more than forty cars were ordered in one go, and this time Admiral Fereit brought more than ten vehicles.

The effect is not bad, and it can control the situation on the battlefield at any time while on the move. Moreover, its large field radio station can keep in touch with Warsaw and the country at any time, so that His Excellency the Admiral can rest assured.

"What's going on?"

Fereit looked at the map in the car and asked the communications staff officer beside him.

"At the moment the enemy 11th and 14th armies have been driven by our troops to Malloryta, and the 7th, 11th, and 17th divisions are keeping an eye on them and will not let them approach Brest. In addition, the Polish 3rd Army Corps had now arrived in Shedelce to defend it, and small Russian troops had appeared outside the city, although these units did not engage the defending Polish 3rd and 4th Army Corps. In addition, the Polish army under the command of Field Marshal Pilsudski had already rushed to the Bug River, and they were preparing to cross it. ”

His Excellency the Admiral, in the slightly rocking carriage, listened to the staff officer's debriefing, while marking the place he said on the map.

After reading the map, Fereit summed it up: "It seems that this war will make the opponent suffer a big loss. At present, these semi-surrounded Soviet troops, if they don't move quickly, none of them will be able to escape. Speaking of which, His Excellency Pilsudski has won a great victory this time. ”

After Fereit summed up the others, he began to care about himself.

"How far is it from Brest?"

"At the moment the advance of our army has reached Biava, which is only 28 kilometers from Brest."

Hearing the staff officer's answer, Fereit calculated that there was only one day's journey.

"And what about the forces in the city?"

"There are still only two divisions of Soviet troops on the defensive, but they have already gathered the inhabitants of the city to join the army. According to the latest intelligence, they are currently calling up six thousand people. Sandbags had been laid inside the city, and they had forced the inhabitants to build trenches outside the city. In addition, we have received the latest information that yesterday three trains from Minsk were sent to Brest, most of which were artillery machine guns and other supporting weapons. ”

Hearing the staff officer's report, Fereit said with a smile: "It's too late to support now." If the strength of two divisions can hold back our army, this is a joke. ”

In Admiral Fereit's view, Brest was now in his pocket, and the 11th and 14th armies, the only ones that the enemy could support, were deliberately driven to other places by him. He also specially sent three divisions to watch the opponent, where there might be reinforcements.

In fact, judging by the map, the mobile units consisting of cavalry divisions and armored brigades to defeat the Soviet Cavalry Army were the closest here. However, considering that the casualties of the two troops were not small, and the loss of weapons and equipment was too great (referring to the armored brigade), His Excellency the Admiral only asked them to be responsible for reconnaissance work around them.

The next day, the Romanian army approached the city.

Fereit looked at the somewhat panicked front-line Soviet soldiers, and he couldn't help laughing. It is clear that the Soviets have only conscripted local residents and put them on the front line, which has cheapened Romania. These recruits, who are largely untrained, will be able to help Romania conquer cities.

Since the Soviet commander was dizzy, then of course he had to accept this big gift.

With a wave of his hand, after a short artillery bombardment, two divisions of Romanian troops immediately pounced on the position. He had no interest in the next battle.

And the result was exactly what he expected. After only one charge, the local recruits were forcibly recruited on the front line and retreated, and many of them raised their hands and shouted to them: "I am a Pole, and I am willing to take the Romanian army and drive away these Russian troops." ”

The battle was much simpler, and with the help of these locals, the Romanian army captured the city in less than two days.

There was not much time left for the Soviet army.
