For three days, June 6, June 7 and June 8, the Warsaw front appeared relatively calm. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info neither the German nor the Soviet army launched an offensive, but seized the time to deploy troops.

Although the German 6th Army received a lot of reinforcements, it would take a few days for these troops to arrive. Until then, Moder had to endure and continue to work as a shrunken turtle in Warsaw.

And for the Soviet army, the most important thing now is to open the railway and the main road communication line from Brest to the city of Warsaw. In this way, more troops and baggage could be transported to the Warsaw front as quickly as possible.

At the same time, such a straight line of traffic is also very easy to protect, and it is much easier to get than the current traffic line with seven turns and eight bends.

Therefore, Comrade Solzhenitsyn's 4th Army was sent to attack another ring fortress. However, Solzhenitsyn's artillery reconnaissance platoon did not work as coolies to carry 203mm shells this time, and they were given a very fat job to help the comrades of the Polish Bolshevik Party to establish grassroots power, and at the same time to confiscate a little bit of horses, cattle and sheep, sausages, butter, cheese, vegetables and wine from the Polish landlords and rich peasants...... Well, this is not because the Red Army is not logistically supplied, and now that the war has just begun, the Soviet Union will not have enough food to supply the front line.

However, the Soviet Red Army has a tradition of confiscation, and if they don't talk about anything, they don't take a stitch or a thread, and if they don't take anything, what kind of life do they have? So they've always hit where they didn't get it. And where is the logistical supply that was confiscated in Poland? Poland has always been the breadbasket of Europe, and there are so many delicious things!

"The village looks very rich here!" Solzhenitsyn rode a horse that had been confiscated from nowhere, and walked at the front of the line with a Polish Bolshevik cadre who had just been released from a Siberian labor camp, and was idle all the way.

For the first five days of his stay on white Polish territory, Solzhenitsyn was busy marching and fighting, paying little attention to the plight of the Polish people. In the last two days, however, he turned to "local work" and discovered that the Polish countryside west of the Bug River was very wealthy. The houses were beautifully repaired, the food was abundant, and every household had some industrial products that looked significantly better than those of the Soviet Union. Clocks, bicycles, radios, cameras, and so on.

In addition, the men and women are dressed more decently, and their complexions are very ruddy, and it is impossible to see who the working people are in dire straits.

Oh, and it's not that there are people who look like working people. Comrade Lewandowski, a cadre of the Polish Bolshevik Party, who is now working with Solzhenitsyn, looks bitter and bitter at first glance, looks very thin, has prominent cheekbones on his face, has a somewhat hunched back, and has an inconvenient arm, and is said to have been injured while working -- Solzhenitsyn guessed that this Pole must have been a serf in the landlord's family when he was young.

"Poland is so rich," Lewandowski shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "the Swiss countryside is called rich, and you will know when Switzerland is liberated in the future." ”

Of course, the working people of Switzerland, in dire straits, also wanted to be liberated, according to the plan, just after the liberation of Germany. Now the Third International is looking for Swiss revolutionaries who want to be great leaders to form the Swiss Bolshevik Party.

"Switzerland? Have you ever been to Switzerland before? Solzhenitsyn was stunned.

"Yes, I studied in Switzerland when I was younger." Lewandowski sighed and said with some emotion, "I came into contact with Marxism at the Federal Technical University of Zuli. ”

Studying abroad in Switzerland? It turned out that he was not a serf, why did he grow so progressively? Solzhenitsyn took a closer look at his bitter Polish comrades.

At the mention of ETH Zurich, Lewandowski didn't know why, his eyes turned red, and he stopped talking, as if he had thought of something sad. Solzhenitsyn guessed that this cadre of the Polish Bolshevik Party must have suffered a lot in Switzerland......

"Comrade squad leader, do you see Warsaw?"

"See! I see the buildings that belong to the city of Warsaw! Comrades, we have reached the city of Warsaw! ”

In a small town called Sureovik, only seventeen or eighteen kilometers from the center of Warsaw, the machine gun squad leader of the 205th Company of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion of the Red Army Infantry Division Yakov. Pavlov was on the roof of a Catholic church and saw the city of Warsaw in the distance for the first time.

The 205th Division of the Red Army, now part of the 12th Army of the Red Army, now replaced the 9th Mechanized Army and became the vanguard of the advance to Warsaw. Even on June 6-8, when the main forces were resting, they did not stop advancing, but advanced from Minsk, Poland, to Suleovik, which can be regarded as the gateway to Warsaw. This will be the starting point for the final assault of the Red Army on the city of Warsaw!

Although the terrain of Sureovik was important, it was contrary to the expectations of the commander of the 205th Division, Major General Joludev, and Political Commissar Oktyabrysky, and the march to Sureovik was very smooth, with almost no resistance from the Germans, only several bombardments on the road, the loss of dozens of fighters and a dozen vehicles. Oh, and it wasn't that there was no resistance, and when entering Suleovik, a dozen vicious Polish reactionaries fired at the Red Army fighters with rifles, killing 2 people and wounding 3 others.

Now the 205th Division is searching for reactionaries throughout the city, and Pavlov's machine-gun squad is ordered to break into the largest church in Sureovik to arrest the reactionaries -- the Catholic forces in Poland have always been in the vanguard of anti-G and anti-Soviet forces, and all bishops and priests should be arrested and sent to Siberia for labor reform.

However, Pavlov and the others did not catch a single stick in the empty cathedral, and it turned out that these people had already retreated on the orders of the Archbishop of Warsaw.

"Comrade division commander, comrade political commissar."

Pavlov was stretching his neck to look at the scenery when he heard someone behind him shouting "division commander" and "political commissar", and he knew that it must be the two bosses of the 205th Division who were coming. Turning around, he saw Major General Joludev and Commissar Oktyablisky walking into the attic where he was - the commanding height of the entire city of Sureovik, and from here he could see many tall buildings in the city of Warsaw.

"Salute!" Pavlov gave a military salute and then left quietly, not daring to disturb the division commander and comrade political commissar to observe the enemy's situation.

"Comrade Commissar, Warsaw is at hand!" The commander of the 205th Division, Victor. Major General Ruoludev watched with a telescope for a while, and then said to Oktyablisky, who was beside him, "What stands in front of us now is a large forest...... The Polish reactionaries, knowing that their country was in danger, kept a large forest to the east of Warsaw, and it was ridiculous to want to block the wheel of history with trees. ”

Poland is the terrain of a great plain, but it is not a "treeless plain", but a plain full of forests. Before it was developed, the Polish plain was a large temperate forest. The forests to the east of Warsaw, on the other hand, have long been hunting and playing places for Polish monarchs, so they have not been cut down on a large scale.

After Pilsudski came to power, because he knew that there would be a war between the Soviet Union and Poland, he put national defense first in everything, and cutting down trees was no exception. The forests east of Warsaw are "protected areas" where logging is prohibited because they shelter the city of Warsaw. Moreover, in this forest east of Warsaw, Pilsudski had a large number of fortifications built. All roads through the forest, whether by road, rail, or whatever, are lined with layers of defensive positions in front of them.

And this situation, the Red Army Intelligence Bureau has long inquired clearly. The road into Warsaw from the east is not easy!

If the Germans were ready to defend Warsaw, then the "Warsaw Forest" would surely be the place where the two sides fought a bloody battle.

Private of the 2nd Platoon, 3rd Company, 111th Infantry Division, 2nd Division, Wehrmacht Army. Brandt, at this time, was depressed and half-kneeling in an infantry fortification in the Warsaw forest near the city of Sureovik, holding an MKB42 automatic carbine and a cigarette in his mouth.

Unlike the high-spirited German Superman fighters around him, Brandt was actually an anti-war activist. He was born out of wedlock to Herbert. Ernst. Cal. Fram was raised by his grandfather, who believed in the Social Democrats. Under the influence of his maternal grandfather, he joined the Socialist Youth League at the age of 15 and became a member of the Social Democratic Party in 1930. But it didn't take long for the German militarists to join forces with the Nazi Party to seize power and pass the Transitional Justice Ordinance, which politically hunted down the anti-war Social Democrats and the Bolsheviks.

Fram, who was extremely disillusioned with German politics, left Germany under the pseudonym Brandt and went to Norway to join the Norwegian Workers' Party and become a journalist. Specifically published an article in the Norwegian newspaper Workers' Newspaper saying bad things about the Hitler government. In 1937 he also participated in the Spanish Civil War as a war correspondent, covering the atrocities of the fascists.

But in 1940, something happened that made him feel hopeless. Germany defeated France and became the dominant player on the continent, while the Norwegian Workers' Party was outlawed by the National Unionist Party, which came to power in a coup. However, Brandt was not arrested, but received a conscription notice from the Selective Service Department of the German Ministry of Defense. He had wanted to take refuge in Sweden, but Swedish customs told him that he had to show a document exempt from military service in order to enter the country legally.

In order to avoid imprisonment or imprisonment in a concentration camp, Brandt had to report to the office of the German Military Service Bureau in Norway and became a criminal Nazi German soldier - the German Military Service Bureau did not know that he was an anti-war Brandt, only that he was a German citizen living in Norway Fram, but if he refused to serve and was arrested, then other crimes could be revealed, and then he would have to go to the concentration camp for labor reform.
