While the Soviets were searching for and rescuing Allied pilots in Warsaw, the Germans also captured several pilots. Although the pilots were captured and said nothing but their own names and ranks, the cunning Germans judged from their identities that the Allies were trying to drop all kinds of weapons, ammunition and military supplies on behalf of the rebels in Warsaw.

In order to prevent the reappearance of Allied aircraft over Warsaw, they immediately placed a large number of anti-aircraft artillery fire in the territory under their control. As a result, Allied planes could not re-enter the city of Warsaw, and Soviet transport planes transporting various supplies to the city could not pass through the German anti-aircraft fire and enter the city of Warsaw.

Seeing that the transport was interrupted, Zakharkin immediately became anxious, and sent two urgent telegrams to Rokossovsky in succession, urging them to transport supplies to the city of Warsaw as soon as possible, and repeatedly stressed that if within two days could not get reinforcements from outside the city, then the troops in the city of Warsaw would be routed by the Germans because of the lack of ammunition.

After reading these two telegrams, Rokossovsky was furious, and after slapping his hand on the table several times, he said excitedly: "When they first entered the city of Warsaw, they also received no supplements, but they stubbornly persevered. It was really unseemly that he, the deputy commander of the Front Army, had just a few days into the city of Warsaw, and had encountered the slightest difficulty, and began to complain. ”

After Terekin waited for Rokossovsky to finish firing, he turned his head and asked Malinin: "Comrade Chief of Staff, have all those Allied pilots left the city of Warsaw?" ”

"Nope." Malinin shook his head and said with a serious expression: "The transport plane we sent to pick up the pilot was intercepted by German anti-aircraft fire when it landed, and it has been destroyed. Fortunately, those pilots have not yet been on the plane, otherwise we would have been politically passive if something happened to them. ”

After Rokossovsky sat down, he asked Malinin: "Chief of Staff, where are the two divisions sent by Chuikov at the moment?" ”

Malinin looked down at the map, pointed to the location south of Warsaw and said: "General Glebov's 27th Guards Division, which is currently only five kilometers away from the Vilanov Palace, will arrive in about an hour. And General Pankov's 88th Guards Division, after a two-day march, was still about forty kilometers from the city of Warsaw. If all goes well, they will enter the city of Warsaw tomorrow morning. ”

Terekin knew that the outside world could not supply the city for the time being, so he nervously asked: "Chief of staff, how much ammunition do they carry?" ”

"I brought only two cardinal ammunition." Malinin was probably afraid that Terekin would say that he was carrying too little ammunition, and deliberately added: "If you carry too much ammunition, it will affect the speed of the troops." ”

Rokossovsky took a few deep breaths to stabilize his mood a bit, and then said to Malinin: "Send a telegram to the deputy commander of the Front, telling him that when General Glebov's 27th Guards Division arrives, let them launch an attack along the Vilanov Boulevard to the Okinche railway station in Warsaw, and if it goes well, further capture the Okche airport." ”

After recording the order dictated by Rokossovsky, Malinin said with a smile: "Comrade commander, if our troops can succeed in seizing the railway station and the airport, then supplies will be able to be brought into the city of Warsaw by train and planes. In this way, even if more reinforcements arrive in the German army, we will be able to hold them back if we have enough supplies. ”

"That's right, that's right." Seeing that Malinin had guessed his intentions, Rokossovsky nodded with a smile, and then said: "Although our plane can no longer land near the Vilanov Palace, it can land at Okinche Airport instead, which can also increase the speed of replenishment." ”

Zakharkin, who was staying in Warsaw, soon received a telegram from Rokossovsky. After reading the above content clearly, he also breathed a sigh of relief and said to Vajin and Galitsky: "Comrade two division commanders, I have good news for you. General Glebov's 27th Guards Division will soon come to join us. And General Pankov's 88th Guards Division, which is also on the march to Warsaw, will be able to reach Warsaw by tomorrow at the latest. ”

"It's amazing, it's amazing." When Vargin heard the good news, he touched Galitsky twice with his elbow and said excitedly: "We have four divisions in Warsaw, so we have a greater chance of defeating the enemy." ”

"Not really, Comrade General." Galitsky was naturally overjoyed to learn that two new Soviet divisions were about to enter the city of Warsaw. In this way, they can concentrate their scattered forces to reduce the pressure on individual areas.

Although in Rokossovsky's telegram it was said that General Glebov's 27th Guards Division would arrive in an hour. But after only half an hour, a staff officer walked in from outside and reported with emotion: "Report that Comrade Deputy Commander of the Front, General Glebov, commander of the 27th Guards Division, has arrived!" ”

"What, Glebov is here?" Hearing the staff officer's report, Zakharkin instinctively raised his hand and looked at his watch, and found that only half an hour had passed, so he hurriedly ordered the staff officer: "Quickly invite General Glebov in!" ”

After less than two minutes, the short General Glebov strode in. He came to Zakharkin and raised his hand and saluted: "Comrade Deputy Commander of the Front, Major General Glebov, commander of the 27th Guards Division, reports to you that our division is entering the city of Warsaw one after another, please assign combat missions." ”

Instead of asking why Glebov had come so quickly, Zakharkin called him to him, pointed to the map that was spread out on the table, and said to him: "Comrade General, please look at the map. According to the order, your division was supposed to immediately attack west along Vilanov Street, seize the Warsaw Okenche railway station as quickly as possible and gain a foothold there. If possible, continue to advance westwards and seize the Okanche airfield. ”

Glebov, who had been silent on the radio while marching, was unaware of this order from the Front Command. After listening to Zakharkin's deployment, he immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, Comrade Deputy Commander, when our troops are ready, I will immediately launch an attack on the railway station and the airport." By the way, does the runway at the airport need to be preserved? ”

Glebov's words made Zakharkin suddenly remember that this airport could become the only way to communicate with the outside world in the future, so he nodded and said: "Yes, Comrade General. You have to find a way to keep the runway, and you must not let the Germans destroy him. Perhaps our future supplies will have to be transported into Warsaw through this airport. ”

Just as Glebov was about to turn and leave, Zakharkin asked one of the questions that interested him the most: "Comrade General, it stands to reason that it will take you at least an hour to get here." Why did it only take half an hour to arrive? ”

Seeing that many eyes in the command were fixed on him, Glebov was anxious to know the answer, so he said slowly: "When we entered the outskirts of Warsaw, we found a bus station, and seized a batch of buses of various types from the middle, so that we increased the speed of our march. ”

"So you seized the bus." After listening to this, Zakharkin nodded and gave Glebov an idea: "Comrade General, you can make good use of these buses. In addition to transporting soldiers, these cars can also be used as roadblocks if necessary. ”

Thanks to the help of buses, Glebov in just forty minutes concentrated the forces of two regiments on the Vlanov Boulevard. The chief of staff of the division reminded him: "Comrade division commander, we still have a regiment that has not yet arrived, should we wait for this regiment to arrive before we launch an attack?" ”

Glebov raised his hand and looked at his watch, then shook his head and said: "It's too late, we'll start attacking now!" ”

The Germans laid out a lot of sandbag fortifications on Vilanov Street. However, due to the fact that in the previous few days of fighting, they found that the number of Soviet troops here was too small, and they did not dare to attack them casually. Therefore, the German commander made a decision that he regretted for the rest of his life: except for one company to defend the Veranov Boulevard, the rest of his troops were transferred to the West Railway Station in Warsaw, in order to break through the Polish defense line as soon as possible.

Zakharkin, who was staying in Warsaw, soon received a telegram from Rokossovsky. After reading the above content clearly, he also breathed a sigh of relief and said to Vajin and Galitsky: "Comrade two division commanders, I have good news for you. General Glebov's 27th Guards Division will soon come to join us.
