Chapter 361: Warsaw is in an emergency
With the cessation of the advance of the French army, the curtain finally began on the most spectacular scene of World War II. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Poland, an ally of Britain and France, was dying under the attack of the strong German armored forces, while at the other end, the French and British armies, who had always spoken of absolute support for Poland, and the most powerful legions in Europe, began a sit-in behind the Maginot Line.
They have declared war, war, it has begun, but all this seems to have nothing to do with them.
At this time, the situation in Poland had deteriorated incomparably.
The main armored unit of Army Group South, three panzer divisions of the Waffen-SS, surrounded the main forces of the Polish army west of the Vistula.
At the same time, the other two corps subordinate to Army Group South, the 14th Army under General William Liszt and the 8th Army under General Johannes Blaskovitz, which were supposed to be supported on both flanks, each with an armored division, now ran faster and stormed Warsaw, the capital of Poland.
Warsaw, it's urgent!
At this time, the city of Warsaw was full of anxiety.
As the Supreme Commander, Field Marshal Smigway-Rhodes, what he was most looking forward to was the help of the allies of France and England, and if they attacked Germany from the west, Germany would definitely stop the current offensive!
"What?" Marshal Rhodes heard the report and simply didn't believe his ears: "The French army, has not yet laid down the Siegfried Line?" ”
The Siegfried Line was a defense line built by Germany to prevent the French army from attacking, and the French army could only fight all the way to Berlin if it broke through this defense line.
Now, the German army is about to arrive in Warsaw, and the French army is still grinding on the border?
"Yes." General Louis Shinoyu, commander of the French military delegation in Poland, said slowly: "We are attacking the Siegfried Line, we have dispatched 25 divisions, and now we have attracted 6 German divisions to withdraw from Poland. ”
"Unfortunately, we have encountered a huge minefield ambushed by the Germans, we have lost thousands of people, and now we are stepping up our demining. Therefore, our main offensive had to be postponed until after February 25. ”
Push back a few more days! That Warsaw was knocked down, looking at the French general, Marshal Rhodes was very angry, but it was not convenient to export.
"Also, for better coordination, I will retreat to Romania with the Polish government, and if you are willing to retreat with us, then retreat together."
Fall back! Now, seeing that the German army is about to complete the encirclement of Warsaw, the government personnel are in a hurry, and President Ignazi Mościtchitzky has decided to go to Romania.
"This coward, I won't leave, I'm going to live and die with Warsaw!" Marshal Rhodes said.
He and President Moshizitzki were originally inseparable, and the real power in Poland was actually controlled by Marshal Lodz, and Moshizitzki was just a superficial leader who was pushed out.
And now, Moshizitsky was about to run away, and Rhodes was furious, of course, his anger was temporary, and just a day later he also embarked on the path of escape, throwing behind him the vow of living and dying with Warsaw.
The French general is gone, leaving behind all of Rhodes' henchmen, and now, their faces are ugly.
Think about how beautiful it was a few years ago when the Polish army beat the Soviets to the point and cut a piece of meat from the territory of the Soviet Union, but now, everything is beyond their expectations.
The Germans, at all, did not fight according to the ideas of the Poles.
Everything came so fast that the Polish army could not react.
Now it seems that if they are given another chance to choose again, they should quickly abandon some valuable areas in the west, such as the industrial areas of Silesia, and then focus on the right line of the Narev and Vestola rivers for a systematic defense, so as to delay the time and wait for the British and French to launch an offensive on the western front.
But now, they have deployed a large number of troops on the border, and they want to fight for every inch of land!
Of course, they also had another idea, as soon as Britain and France succeeded in fighting on the Western Front and the main German forces moved westward, they would immediately switch to the offensive, and the main forces in the Poznan area would take the shortest distance and take Berlin directly!
They wanted to quickly go on the counteroffensive, as they did in the last war with the Soviet Union.
Alas, their illusions were shattered, and the main forces were deployed in the border areas, as a result, quickly surrounded, divided, eliminated by German mechanized troops!
One by one, the number of the group army quickly disappeared, and now only tens of thousands of troops are left in the city of Warsaw!
They can only pin their trust on Britain and France, and now, Britain and France are still stalling for time!
And in the past few days, the advance speed of the German army is so fast that it is unacceptable to them, and the fastest army group can advance almost hundreds of kilometers every day!
That's faster than history! After all, the German army in history used light tanks like No. 1 and No. 2, and now, the German army is already equipped with the powerful Panther 3 tank, as well as a large number of infantry fighting vehicles, which are even more mobile!
"Marshal, it's not good!" At this moment, the chief of staff, General Vacva-Stachevic, hurried in.
"What's going on?" Marshal Rhodes frowned and asked, could it be that the German army had already been encircled?
"The Soviets, the Soviets are going to attack us!" General Stachevich said breathlessly, and immediately ran over after receiving this terrible news.
Soviets? The faces of everyone present changed drastically.
Now, the German offensive in the west has already overwhelmed Poland, and the Polish army, almost all deployed on the Western Front, has been wiped out by the Germans, while the eastern part of Poland is simply undefended.
And now, the Soviets, actually from the east!
This group of old hairy people is really shameless, just last year, they said that they would teach Germany a lesson for Poland!
"Impossible, right? Didn't we and the USSR sign a non-aggression pact? One person asked.
The treaty, that is, a piece of waste paper, in Ciric's remarks, the agreement, is used to tear up, but they are all adults, and they still want face.
"The Soviets claimed that since our Polish government ceased to exist, the Soviet-Polish non-aggression pact was no longer in force. In order to protect the interests of the Ukrainian and Belarusian minorities, the Soviet Union decided to move into Western Ukraine and Western Belarus in eastern Poland. ”
Just make an excuse! For the Soviet Union, its essence is also constantly expanding! It's just that I was scared by Finland back then.
Now, Poland is about to die, and at this time, coming up and taking a bite is what the Soviet Union likes to do the most, just to fulfill the secret agreement of the year!
