Army Group South Headquarters, General Rundstedt, commander of Army Group South, looked at the battle report in his hand and said: "The paratroopers actually killed an infantry regiment of the Poles, it seems that they still have some combat effectiveness in addition to being inspected and playing parachute jumping games." ”

Standing to the right of Rundstedt was Lieutenant General Manstein, Chief of Staff of Army Group South, Manstein pointed to the map and said: "After they annihilated the Polish 40 Infantry Regiment, the right flank of the Polish 14 Infantry Division has been completely exposed to them, do we order them to attack the right flank of the 14 Infantry Division, so as to relieve the pressure on the 30 Infantry Division, after all, they suffered great losses in the Polish counteroffensive, and they lack heavy weapons, and now the war is very tight." ”

"Okay, you can go and set it up." Rundstead stared at the map and said without looking up.

"I think this Polish offensive is an opportunity for us, centered on the city of Kutno, where the remnants of the Polish Army Group Poznan and Army Group Modlin are entrenched, and if we seize this opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop, there will be no one to stop us on the road to Warsaw." Rundstead said.

"I also think so, if they are just repulsed, they are likely to flee to Warsaw, and there are more than 100,000 defenders in Warsaw, which will cause a lot of annoyance to the next siege." Manstein nodded.

"Command." Rundstedt quickly made a judgment, "The 10th Army and the 14th Army each transferred one army to the Eighth Army, and the 8th Army, on the premise of holding the existing position, sent troops to attack and advance to the northeast to cut off the Poles' retreat to Warsaw. ”

Manstein quickly recorded it, handed it to Rundstedt for signature, and then gave the order over the radio.

・・・・・・

To the east of the village of Valan, Lieutenant Randolph and his artillerymen were wiping down the artillery, while Chen Dao sat on a nearby stone fiddling with his new toy, an MP38 submachine gun, which Chen Dao had picked up from a fallen paratrooper.

Also picked up were a magazine bag and three magazines full of bullets, plus a magazine that came with the submachine gun, Chen Dao had a total of four magazines in his hand.

Under the teaching of a paratrooper, Chen Dao quickly became familiar with the use of the MP38, and with this submachine gun, Chen Daoxin said that the bandit could finally stop using the old Mauser rifle and the useless small pistol, and his untimely death was another step away from me.

Looking at the Polish prisoners sitting on the south side of the village, Chen Dao very much hoped that a few of these captives would lead the prisoners of war to rebel, so that he could test the power of this mp38 openly.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and under the deterrence of MG34 machine guns, more than 1,000 waves of prisoners of war sat staggered on the ground, meekly like lambs to the slaughter.

Carrying the submachine gun to his back, Chen Dao lit a cigarette, and said in his heart that he must learn more troop strategies from Student when he has time in the future, this time in the battle of Wallang Village, Student sent three battalions as a reserve to use the night as a cover, bypassing Warang Village, interspersed with the north of Warang Village to cut off the retreat of the Polish army, and waited until dawn after two rounds of air raids, three paratrooper battalions attacked simultaneously from the southwest, southeast and north directions, and annihilated 3,124 people below Colonel Kuba of the 40th Infantry Regiment of the Polish Army in one fell swoop. The paratroopers only paid the price of 211 killed and 311 wounded, and the overall loss ratio of the two sides was 1 to 6, which can be said to be a big victory.

Humility makes people progress, pride makes people backward, in order to have a little more certainty of survival in the future war years, Chen Dao decided to learn from Student now.

Unexpectedly, Student found Chen Dao first and issued a personal order to Chen Dao.

"What? You want me to stay and guard the prisoners of war? Chen Dao was surprised.

"Major Rosen, the new task given to us by Army Group South is to attack the flank of the Polish 14th Infantry Division, and I have decided to take the 1st Battalion, the 3rd Battalion and the artillery of Lieutenant Randolph, and you and the 2nd Battalion will stay behind to defend the village of Varão while guarding the prisoners of war." Student explained.

"Okay." Chen Dao hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to stay.

After several battles, Chen Dao summed up a rule: Whoever participates in the battle must be bombarded, fortunately there is no heavy artillery in the 40th Infantry Regiment, otherwise he would have died young, how can he still live until now.

Now Student is going to attack the 14th Infantry Division, according to the information obtained from the interrogation of Polish prisoners of war, the 14th Infantry Division has 105 mm and 155 mm caliber artillery, if he goes with him, with his character in the last two days, he will definitely take a shot, and it will not be a dream to die young.

"You must be careful if you stay here, the cavalry unit that followed the 40th Infantry Regiment is missing, I don't know when they will appear, I don't know where they will appear, maybe they will appear here early tomorrow morning." Student said.

"I'll take care to keep myself safe." Chen Dao said disapprerovingly.

"I advise you to get out of here by plane, Marshal Goering has just sent another telegram urging you to return home." Student said.

"I see, when are you leaving?" Chen Dao took the initiative to divert the topic.

"Now the reconnaissance aircraft is reconnoitering the distribution of the Polish 14 Infantry Division, and I will wait until the exact information to decide on the departure time."

The two men parted ways after a while, when a paratrooper messenger suddenly approached Chen Dao and said that Marshal Goering wanted to talk to him.

As soon as Chen Dao greeted Goering, Goering asked bluntly: "Heinz, when will you return to Berlin?" ”

"I'll go back after Warsaw, it won't be long." Chen Dao said.

"I command you to return to Berlin by tomorrow morning at the latest." Goering said impatiently.

"Oh, how is Ada? Without me, Ida will probably not even be able to eat, and tell Ida to listen to the radio more often, and when she hears on the radio that we occupy Warsaw, his dear Uncle Heinz will return to him. Chen Dao said.

Göring couldn't hear that Chen Dao was changing the subject, and strictly ordered Chen Dao to leave for Berlin early tomorrow morning at the latest, but Chen Dao was rambling for a while, just not answering directly, and Goering finally couldn't bear to shout: "You'd better never come back." After saying that, he threw away the microphone.

Chen Dao left the radio station and found the commander of the second battalion, Major Schubert, and the two discussed and decided to send the obstructive prisoners to the rear first, and this task was handed over to the more than 200 rescued German prisoners, who had been formed into an independent company, and were fully armed with captured Polish weapons.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early in the morning, the Independence Company marched south with a huge contingent of captives, taking with them some seriously wounded who could be moved.

Watching the captives disappear from view, Chen Dao suddenly turned to Major Schubert and asked, "If there really is a cavalry regiment attacking us, can we hold it?" ”
