German reinforcements entered Warsaw in the early morning of August 5. Fortunately, Vargin and Galitsky's troops had ample ammunition, otherwise they would have been caught off guard.

Hearing that German reinforcements had entered the city of Warsaw, Varjin consulted with Galitsky: "Comrade Colonel, the city of Warsaw is so great that our troops are now scattered in many parts of the city, and it is not realistic to concentrate them at once. See if you can come forward and contact the comrades of the Lyudov army and ask them to assist us in holding off the German reinforcements. ”

Galitsky nodded in agreement with Varkin's proposal, and at the same time suggested: "Comrade General, the higher authorities have given us a large amount of weapons and ammunition, can you distribute some of them to the citizens of Warsaw, so that they can form a militia to assist our army and the rebel army in blocking the German troops entering the city?" ”

"I think so." Varkin, who was now overstretched with troops, immediately agreed with Galitsky's proposal, adding: "I will immediately send a telegram to the front headquarters asking them to give us some more ammunition as soon as possible, so that we can arm more citizens." ”

Ten minutes later, Rokossovsky, who was far away in Lublin, received a telegram from Varkin. After reading the contents of the telegram, he handed it to Zhukov and at the same time said: "Comrade Marshal, General Vagin sent a telegram asking us to replenish them with more ammunition. ”

"What, and ammunition?" Zhukov took the telegram with a frown, and said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you take the risk of sending them ammunition and supplies last night?" Those things would keep them going for at least ten days of high-intensity combat. ”

"That's right, Comrade Marshal." Rokossovsky saw that Zhukov had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly added: "The reason why they need more weapons is that they want to use these weapons to arm as many Warsaw citizens as possible, so as to strengthen the city." ”

After a quick glance at the contents of the telegram, Zhukov said with some concern: "German reinforcements have entered the city of Warsaw one after another, and our two divisions in the city are scattered, even with the support of the rebel army and armed citizens, it will not be easy to defeat the German reinforcements. ”

"Comrade Marshal, I have such thoughts." Rokossovsky thought for a moment, and then said to Zhukov: "We can take a two-pronged approach, on the one hand, we can use the transport planes of the Air Force to transport ammunition for them, and on the other hand, we can use the cover of night to let other troops smuggle across the Vistula River and land in the area near the Vilanov Palace, so as to strengthen the city." ”

After listening to this, Zhukov glanced up at Rokossovsky, and then buried his head in the map in front of him. After looking at it for a while, he spoke: "Comrade Rokossovsky, don't forget, the Germans have assembled heavy troops in the city of Warsaw on the east bank, and they may move south at any time to cut off the retreat of our army. ”

"That's not a problem." Rokossovsky pointed to the map and explained: "Chuikov has placed an army here on the east bank to prevent the German army from moving south. In addition, we can order the 48th and 65th armies to intensify their offensive and pin down the enemy on the east bank of the Vistula. If possible, we could also draw troops from the 70th Army and attack Warsa from the east. ”

After Zhukov waited for Rokossovsky to finish speaking, he slapped his hand heavily on the table and said indignantly: "It's all the damned Krajov army, damn Komorovsky, for their own selfishness, not only suspended cooperation with our army, but also launched an uprising without authorization; Even shortly after the start of the uprising, in collusion with the Germans, they tried to use the hands of the Germans to wipe out all the Lyudov troops who were close to us. ”

Saying this, Zhukov took out a cigarette from the cigarette case placed on the table, lit it and took a puff, and asked: "Do you have any news of Komorovsky now, do you know where he and his group of officers have fled?" ”

Rokossovsky turned his head to look at Malinin on the side, and motioned for him to answer the question to Zhukov. Malinin hurriedly stepped forward and said in a clear voice: "Report to Comrade Marshal, I once asked General Vakin, but he said that since Komorovsky and his men escaped from the command headquarters, there has been no trace, and even those troops under his command have not been contacted. ”

"This bastard actually left behind the troops who trusted him." After taking only two puffs of his cigarette, Zhukov extinguished it in the ashtray, and then asked Malinin: "Since they have not contacted the troops below, can you tell me what the Krajov army, which has lost its command without a leader, is doing at the moment?" ”

"They're fighting." After a few twitches of the muscles in Malinin's face, he said: "Some are fighting with the Germans, while others are fighting with our army or the Lyudov army. ”

After listening to this, Zhukov walked back and forth in the command headquarters with his hands behind his back. When he stopped, he immediately gave orders to Malinin: "Chief of Staff, you immediately send a message to General Vagin, and ask them to assist the Lyudov army in destroying the Krajov army who are doing mischief." And for those Krajov troops who were still fighting the Germans, they had to find a way to win them over. ”

"That's right," Rokossovsky waited for Zhukov to finish speaking, and hurriedly added: "Not all of Klajov's troops resolutely obeyed Komorovsky's orders. They were just fighting for the liberation of Warsaw, for the liberation of Poland. If they see our sincerity, I believe they will be on the same side as us. ”

Seeing that Rokossovsky and himself were on the same page, Zhukov waved his hand at Malinin and ordered: "Okay, Comrade Chief of Staff, you already know my and Rokossovsky's opinions, immediately sort out the order and issue it directly to General Vagin." ”

After recording the order, Malinin still stood still and did not move, and he carefully reminded Zhukov: "Comrade Marshal, the order we gave to General Vakin, you see if you want to give General Chuikov a breath and let him know what to do." ”

When Zhukov heard Malinin say this, he turned his head to look at Rokossovsky, and when he saw that he was smiling and nodding, he said to Malinin: "Yes, immediately send a copy of this telegram to Chuikov as well." ”

Seeing Malinin leaving, Rokossovsky hurriedly patted Zhukov's ass: "Comrade Marshal, this is an extraordinary time, and the order you gave is completely correct. ”

German reinforcements entered Warsaw in the early morning of August 5. Fortunately, Vargin and Galitsky's troops had ample ammunition, otherwise they would have been caught off guard.
