Chapter 1287: If you say you turn your face, you turn your face
Nothing can be achieved overnight, especially for the army, under the mediation of Britain and France, Russia obtained 1.2 million troops, but even with the support of Britain and France, Russia wants to recruit these forces, it will take at least 3 months, Russia in the East Prussian salient, adopted a laissez-faire posture, let Germany attack.
For its own huge territory, Russia has always been very relieved, it is now May, at most 5 months, winter can come, with the cold and territory, Russia resisted the attack of the invincible Napoleon, if Germany wants to continue to attack, it is the next Napoleon, it is just in line with his ideas.
Therefore, instead of sending troops to block it, Russia has shrunk some of its main forces. But the troops located near East Prussia will not work, 1.2 million German troops, plus the nearby German-Austro-Hungarian mixed corps, like two sharp swords, can turn in a maximum of 5 days, and jointly encircle them in this area, the core is Warsaw.
Warsaw has probably concentrated 700,000 troops, which is most of the troops deployed by Russia on the Polish side, after the main force is recovered, the remaining troops, except for those annihilated by Germany, the rest are concentrated in Warsaw, Warsaw, which was once the capital of Poland, a historic city, is also the focus of Russia's layout in Europe, with a perfect defense system, in the eyes of Russia, it should be able to fight with Germany, at least the Germans can be delayed for two or three months, as long as this time is gained, Russia's side will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Russia thought that with the help of Warsaw, it would be able to hold back the German soldiers, but he was wrong. Warsaw had a lot of leading parties, and at least in Germany, the position of the Poles was okay, and they even believed in the ambiguous words of the Germans. It is believed that Germany, after taking Warsaw and all of Poland, will give Poland an independent status, at least in the Allied system.
Even if it is coercion, even if it is a subordinate position, at least, Poland is nominally independent again, and for this, countless Poles are willing to work hard for him.
More than 800,000 German troops gathered under the city of Warsaw. Compared with Russia, the number is about the same, but Warsaw is a strong city, even if it is a strong army like the German army, if you want to occupy it all, you need to pay a lot of price, but Germany has been prepared for a long time.
The entire vicinity of Warsaw, home to 8 million Poles. Together with the whole of Russian-controlled Poland, there are a total of 15 million people. After being contacted through various channels, at least six organizations showed goodwill towards the Germans, and united by various means, and before the Germans had even begun the battle against Poland, the maps of the defense of Warsaw had been sent to the Germans, and there were even some suggestions. It is not as good as the troops wherever they are, and they can defect.
There are strong soldiers outside, and there are ghosts inside, and even Sun Tzu can't win this war when he is reborn, let alone Russia, which is unprepared for it. With the help of the Polish Revolutionary Party. The German first destroyed the defense line outside Poland, and Russia's control over Poland was quite weak, and even among the army, there were Poles, and with the help of such ghosts, there were at least 12 peripheral positions, without fighting, and they were completely occupied, and then the door of Warsaw was opened to the Germans
Invaded into the Polish city, the whole Polish battle lacked to be shown, 700,000 Russian troops were caught off guard, and under the premise of a large number of defections, they couldn't even tell who was a friend and who was the enemy, several parts of stubborn resistance were completely destroyed by the Germans with heavy artillery and firepower, before and after, the Germans spent 4 days to conquer Warsaw, and captured more than 600,000 Russian troops.
Next, continue downward, cross Warsaw, and go to Kiev, along the way, no city can resist the footsteps of Germany, and the German army is in front of Kiev like a bamboo.
Kiev is an important city in the European part of Russia, even in the later Soviet Union and after the collapse of Russia, it is also the most important city, one of the important industrial cities in Russia, if in peacetime, this big city, there are at least 300,000 garrisons, but now, there are not so many, only 30,000 people.
Germany raided Warsaw, caught Russia off guard, sent a large number of troops in Warsaw, but because of the relationship of the leading party, it was taken at once, on the contrary, it made Kiev's defense empty, several years of war, especially in the Far East, almost all of them were fought a war of annihilation, millions of millions of losses, especially this time, in order to take revenge on China, in order to open up the Trans-Siberian Railway to disintegrate the idea of the Chinese to annex the whole of Siberia, Russia is bloody, and a large number of troops have been drawn everywhere, among them, There are a lot of inland cities like Kyiv that are not threatened, and so far, the defenders of Kyiv are only a little more than 30,000, and in a large city like Kyiv with a population of one million, it is just a basic guard, and nothing else can be done.
In the face of the German elite forces, which were like wolves and tigers and did not receive many losses, 200,000 troops besieged the city, just a wave of artillery preparation and a simple attack, the Russian army surrendered, and Kyiv did not even have a long time to resist in Warsaw.
Big cities like Warsaw and Kyiv were captured so quickly and so easily, not to mention other small and medium-sized cities, almost from the scenery, there was no resistance, and the German attack in Russia was more like a march than a battle.
From the outbreak of the war on May 20 to the fall near Kiev, Germany only took 25 days, not even a month, most of the time was on the march, just like that, the front was advanced to the north for hundreds of kilometers, conquered Kyiv, and the front went all the way to the side of the Black Sea, more than 700,000 square kilometers of land, leveling the defense line with Russia, and achieving phased results in the attack on Russia.
Next, the German army in the field began to be stationed in three locations, building defensive lines on the spot to guard against possible Russian troops, and a part of the second-line troops began to search for Russians on a large scale.
With the previous experience of Belgium and France, it is certainly impossible for Germany to keep these Russians, and once they do, they must occupy a certain amount of military power to suppress them, and there will even be armed rebellion or non-war attrition, which does not exist since the population has been cleaned up.
In this prosperous land, there are 15 million Poles and 12 million Russians, which is the most densely populated place in Russia, especially Kiev, and even more people than Warsaw.
Even if Germany began intensive conscription, but in order to completely swallow this land, the necessary immigrants are still needed, in such a vast land, about 2 million immigrants are needed, with this part of the immigrant population, plus the support of the Chinese side in construction and agricultural industry, at most four months later, there will be benefits.
Throughout the month of June, there were immigrants and arrests, among them, the Poles were saddlers and horses for Germany, which can be said to be the work of dogs and horses, and now, the Poles still thought that Germany would support them in building the country, and with the generosity of the Germans, they would not only get the original Polish land, but also a part of the Russian land, such a huge area, Germany would always not be able to eat, give them the best.
But after occupying the whole land, and especially after the Russians had been taken away, the Germans suddenly changed their faces, and the form of Poland took a sharp turn, and all Polish parties were ruled illegal and all organizations were banned.
The Poles spent so much effort, even a series of sacrifices, and what they demanded was not this, even if they could not get the territory of East Prussia before, Russian Poland would always have it, and immediately set off a large-scale revolt.
For these resistances, Germany has long been prepared, after the fight against Kiev, let 400,000 troops guard the newly established border line, the scope of defense is a little less, just at the location of the border, make some sentry posts, the rest are concentrated in Kiev and Warsaw, especially when the Polish parties are banned, it is ready, 700,000 of the 1.2 million main force are in Poland, and there are more than 400,000 second-line forces, which are simply armed to the teeth, and even now, less than 30,000 special operations troops have been sent to Poland.
Poland has enthusiasm, and is not even afraid of sacrifice, but after a long period of annihilation, they do not have enough training, sometimes, the spirit of sacrifice can be had, but it does not represent the strength of the army, if it is Russia, maybe it will be anxious, but this time, they are facing Germany, and they will defeat Britain and France in Europe, and if it is not for the United States, they will destroy the German army in France.
When many fearless Poles rushed towards the military formation, they brought iron blood, machine guns, artillery, and snipers, and these three-in-one attacks directly crushed the impact of these Poles, and after more than 200,000 bloodshed, the Polish resistance was dealt a heavy blow and turned from the surface to the dark.
Most of the lists of revolutionary parties have been obtained by the Germans, and in just one week, most of the high-level and backbone of the Polish revolution have been caught, and the rest are basically in pursuit, and the upsurge of the Polish revolution has been dealt a heavy blow.
If it's just like this, it can't be dealt with, the Polish people are eager for independence, but the Germans came up with a killer idea, the immigrants are similar to the previous vicinity of Kiev, Russia, most of the people have been taken away and sent to China, and they can't even go back to the country, how can you resist, even if it is secretly developed, it is not the Germans who have a headache.
