Chapter 361 Warsaw Emergency
As the French army stopped advancing, the most spectacular scene in World War II finally kicked off.
Poland, an ally of Britain and France, was dying under the attack of Germany's powerful armored forces. At the same time, on the other end, it was always said that it would absolutely support the Polish French and British troops. It was known as the most powerful legion in Europe, and began to sit in the back of the Maginot Line.
They have declared war, the war has begun, but all this seems to have nothing to do with them.
At this time, the situation in Poland had deteriorated extremely.
The main armored unit of the Southern Army, the three armed divisions of the armed SS, surrounded the main force of the Polish army west of the Vistula River.
At the same time, the other two subordinates to the Southern Army, the 14th Army led by General William Lister and the 8th Army of General Johannes Braskowitz, were originally responsible for supporting both wings, and each had an armored division. Now, they ran faster and directly attacked the Polish capital of Warsaw.
Warsaw, there is already a crisis!
At this time, there was anxiety in Warsaw City.
As the supreme commander, Marshal Smigway Rodz, most looking forward to the help of France and Britain's allies. If they attack Germany from the west, Germany will definitely stop its current attack!
"What?" Marshal Roz couldn't believe his ears when he heard the report: "The French army has not yet captured the Ziegfeld line?"
The Ziegfeld Line is a defense line built by Germany to stop the French army from attacking. Only when the French army breaks through this line of defense can they fight all the way to Berlin.
Now, the German army is about to arrive in Warsaw, while the French army is still procrastinating on the border?
"Yes." General Louis Xiaoyou, commander of the Polish French Military Mission, said slowly to the other party: "We are attacking the Ziegfeld defense line. We have dispatched 25 divisions. Now, six German divisions have been attracted to withdraw from Poland."
"Unfortunately, we have encountered a huge minefield where the Germans ambushed, and we have sacrificed thousands of people. Now, we are stepping up our mine clearance. So our main attack must be postponed until after February 25."
Push it back for a few more days! Warsaw was beaten down. Looking at the French general, Marshal Rodz was very angry, but it was not convenient to export.
"Also, in order to better coordinate, I will retreat to Romania with the Polish government. If you are willing to retreat with us, then we will retreat together."
Retreat! Now, as the German army is about to complete its encirclement of Warsaw, the government is anxious, and President Ignazi Moshichitsky has decided to go to Romania.
"I will not leave this coward. I will live and die with Warsaw!" Marshal Roz said.
He and President Mohizitsky were originally in harmony with each other. The real power of Poland was actually controlled by Marshal Roz. Mohizitsky was just a superficial leader who was introduced.
Now that Moshizichitski is about to run away, Rhodes is very angry. Of course, his anger is temporary. Just one day later, he also embarked on the road of escape and threw the oath of survival and death with Warsaw behind his head.
The French general left, and all he left were Rhodes' confidants. Now, their faces were ugly.
Think about how glorious it was to the Polish army beat the Soviets a few years ago and cut off a piece of meat from the Soviet territory, but now everything is beyond their expectations.
The Germans did not fight according to the Poles' ideas.
Everything came too fast, so fast that the Polish army could not react.
Now it seems that if they are given another chance to make a new choice, they should quickly give up some valuable areas in the west, such as the Silesian Industrial Zone, and then focus on defense on the right line of the Nalev River and the Vistola River basin to make step-by-step defenses, so as to delay time and wait for Britain and France to launch an attack on the Western Front.
But now, they have deployed a large number of troops on the border, and they must fight for an inch of land if they want!
Of course, they have another idea. Once Britain and France successfully fight on the Western Front and the German main force will transfer to the west, they will immediately turn to the offensive. The main force in the Poznan region will take the shortest distance and take Berlin directly!
They wanted to enter a counterattack state quickly like the last war with the Soviet Union.
Unfortunately, their illusions were shattered, and the main force was deployed in the border areas, and as a result, they were quickly surrounded, divided and eliminated by the mechanized German troops!
The number of troops disappeared quickly, and now only tens of thousands of troops can be defended in Warsaw City!
They can only rely on Britain and France, but now Britain and France are still delaying time!
In the past few days, the German army's advancement speed is so fast that they cannot accept it. The fastest army can advance hundreds of kilometers every day!
This speed is faster than in history! After all, the German army in history used light tanks such as No. 1 and No. 2. Now, the German army has been equipped with powerful Black Panther 3 tanks and a large number of infantry fighting vehicles, which are more mobile!
"Marson, it's not good!" At this moment, General Vacciva Stacivic, chief of staff, hurriedly ran in.
"What's going on?" Marshal Roz frowned and asked, was it because the German army had already surrounded?
"Soviets, the Soviets are going to attack us!" General Stachevich said angrily. After receiving this terrible news, he immediately ran over.
The Soviets? Everyone present changed their faces.
Now, Germany's attack in the west has made Poland breathless. Almost all of the Polish troops were deployed on the Western Front and were destroyed by the Germans, while the eastern part of Poland was simply unprepared.
And now, the Soviets actually came from the east!
These Russians are so shameless. Just last year, they said they would teach Poland a lesson to Germany!
"Impossible? Didn't we and the Soviet Union sign a non-aggression treaty?" asked a man.
The treaty is a piece of waste paper, which is used to tear it down with Cialek's words and agreements, but they are all adults, so they still want their faces.
"The Soviets claimed that the Soviet-Polish non-aggression treaty was no longer valid because our Polish government no longer existed. In order to protect the interests of Ukraine and Belarusian minorities, the Soviet Union decided to enter the Western Ukraine and Western Belarus regions in eastern Poland."
Just make an excuse! For the Soviet Union, its essence is also constantly expanding! It was just that he was afraid of being beaten by Finland back then.
Now, Poland is about to fall into its country. At this time, it is the Soviet Union’s favorite thing to do, and it just happens to fulfill the secret agreement of that year!
Chapter completed!
