A Polish soldier panicked and opened the door of an office. As the commander of the Pomeranian Corps, General Portnoski is now in a requisitioned room, directing his dozens Wan Dajun retreated. The German was chasing behind him, causing his army to retreat every day, but he knew that he could not stop and fight back, so that his army would be divided and surrounded and destroyed one by one.
The Luftwaffe used a new weapon napalm bomb in the permanent fortifications in northern Poland, and overcame the Polish defense line that was difficult to break through. In 110,000, the German Wehrmacht crossed the Polish defense line and went south. The Modlin regiment was completely destroyed and 230,000 Polish defenders Become a German prisoner.
Further north, the Narew Army of Poland was driven all the way by the Germans to the east of Warsaw, further and further away from their capital. Moreover, because of the attack by the Soviet army, the Nalev Army had been transferred half of them to support the southeast border, and had little combat capability.
In addition, the Pomerania Corps, which was originally deployed in the Danzig Corridor, that is, the unit commanded by General Portnoski himself retreated all the way to the side and rear of the Poznan Corps. He originally hoped to use the Poznan Corps ’ Help to stabilize your defense, but now this idea has also failed.
Because just a day ago, the German troops formed a pincer attack on the middle road, and surrounded the Polish army on the north-central border. ‘‘ Polish South Army, the main Polish force north of the central defense line, was completely annihilated and was annihilated. Captured 500,000 people.
In this way, in the northern region of Poland, there is no field force that can prevent the German team from advancing, so Portnoski, as the front line commander appointed by the Polish government, proposed that he is the key to saving Poland. Important plan.
Not all resistance is ineffective. The Polish still resisted the German team ’s offensive in various regions. On the northernmost side, in Gdynia in the Danzi Corridor, the Polish army persisted in its position. The old German coastal defense artillery repelled the German fleet and sank a German destroyer.
On September 22, a Polish sniper who was now learning to sell had achieved Poland ’s first important result since the start of the war in the northern region: he shot and killed a person he saw at a distance of 200 meters. German official. The officers he killed also became the highest German officers killed since the war.
Walter von Flich was a senior army officer from the Junker nobility. He was originally promoted to major general. Because of his dissatisfaction with the Akado, the cleaning of the Junker nobility was repeatedly degraded by the military department. , Sent to the front-line artillery unit as the commander.
The unlucky Friech, who was afraid of the expensive noble custom military uniforms getting dusty, refused to hide while inspecting the front line position. As a result, he died from the bullets of the Polish snipers. When his adjutant had several soldiers, he was arrogant. When he dragged the hit Flick to the trench, he had already died of excessive blood loss.
These records have encouraged the Polish resistance. Even with heavy casualties, they are still desperately preventing the German team from continuing to advance. Although the results are very small, they do continue to persist with their tenacious will. They continue to look forward to the ally of France in the middle of despair. The British promised an attack on Germany.
The French did attack the German border on September 21, 1937. They dispatched seven divisions and fired more than fifty large-caliber shells on the edge of the Siegfried line, but then they were rushed back to the border by the German team. No mobilization of such an offensive on the German Western Front was carried out, let alone the repatriation of troops from Poland.
The British disappointed the Poles even more. They sent RAF bombers, distributed leaflets on the German border near Belgium, dropped about 20 tons of aerial bombs and destroyed a farmhouse. After these planes were scattered by the German Air Force fw-190d fighter jets, in order to accelerate the escape, they even dropped the bombs that were not dropped into Belgium.
"Sir! Your plan was approved by Warsaw!" After the soldier handed the message in his hand to General Portorsky, he turned and walked out of the office. In the office, there are Air Force liaison officers, and several military commanders, apparently convening a small meeting.
"Our main force must continue to go south." Portnoski introduced his detailed plan: "This will consolidate the forces of the Rhodes Legion, this temporarily formed legion, will go south and cut off the supply line of the southern German army."
He pointed to the map and said to his generals: "In this way, together with the still-holding Mountain Corps, we can hit the army deployed in southern Germany."
"The advantage is that as soon as we reach this battle goal, the southern German army will stop attacking, and the Rhodes and Qianshan Corps will have the opportunity to withdraw to Warsaw and fight for favorable conditions to continue fighting," he said finally.
"Now there are only about 140 fighters we can gather together. If all are involved in this operation ... will it be ..." An air force raised its own doubts. The combat effectiveness shown by the Luftwaffe in recent days is This liaison officer of the Air Force had never heard of it. Even in some areas, the Luftwaffe had a super high record of 20 to 0.
"Even if these fighters flew back to Warsaw, they wouldn't have much effect!" Portorsky shook his head and said: "It's better to concentrate and use it to ensure local air control in the southern offensive combat area!"
"In terms of tanks and cars, we have extracted almost all the equipment that we can get." Another major general introduced: "We have 79 tanks, including 110 tanks of the Rhodes Army, we can join the battle immediately. The number of tanks is about 189. This is the biggest force we have gathered. "
"Find a way to round up an integer and send it to the commander of the Rhodes Legion." Portorsky thought for a while and said: "With 5,000 cavalry, as many car troops as possible. The Germans are all cars and The mobile forces composed of tanks cannot be defeated if we cannot move as fast as they do. "
"However, even if our army cut off the supply of the German army's armored troops into the southern region, it was unable to eat up the surrounded German army." An officer raised his doubts. Obviously, this is indeed a terrible thing. The problem is that the German 30,000 armored forces that entered the encirclement circle, which is the first armored force commanded by Guderian, cannot be underestimated. Poland really has no good way to eat this huge army.
"At that time, we can only hope that the German reserve forces cannot rescue in time, and our army's Qianshan Corps stormed the Germans on the other side." Potnoski pushed the hope of victory to the now self-sufficient Qianshan Corps, and The main mechanized legion that has not yet been established.
Not even he himself believed that the German would be defeated so easily. In a real example in the northern region, when the retreating Polish army panicked and blew up a bridge, it took just over two hours for the German Wehrmacht ’s engineering unit to set up a pontoon on the river where tanks could pass.
In the northern region, Rommel ’s troops gave a flash lesson lesson to the world. The tank troops bypassed the fortresses where the Polish soldiers were stationed and proceeded without fear; then groups of Stuka bombers appeared in the sky, screaming and swooping down from high altitude to bombard the Polish guards; followed The infantry drove these poor defenders out of the ruins to annihilate them-apart from running out of fuel, the Germans rarely even stopped.
Portnoski knew that in the face of such a well-trained army, all his efforts were futile, but as a Polish soldier, he still had to stand up when the motherland was invaded. Fight the aggressor and make some insignificant efforts.
In fact, on the surface, the battle plan drawn up by Portorsky still has certain feasibility. When the northern battlefield is irretrievable, concentrating the superior forces on the southern battlefield is a panacea that can be said to be a resurrection of the Polish battlefield. If it is successful, at least the Qianshan Army can be drawn to stabilize the northern region and keep Warsaw and other major northern cities .
However, there is no perfect battle plan in the world. Obviously, this plan also has various drawbacks. The two most important issues are the guarding of Warsaw and the achievement of the southern campaign goals. Once Warsaw was captured by the Germans first, the Polish army in the south would inevitably collapse; or if the Polish army fighting in the southern region could not hit the Germans again, the Polish battle could be declared ended in advance.
So Portnoski clearly knew that the final decisive battle in the southern part of this plan could be said to be the fateful battle between Poland and Germany. The national games of the two countries depend on the outcome of this battle.
After receiving orders, the Polish troops did not take a break. After collecting some ammunition, these troops began to go south in batches, hoping to join the Rhodes Army in central Poland, so the entire Pomerania Army became weaker.
Of course, the Rhodes Army has also brought out the essence they can come up with, there are about 110 French tf-17 tanks (most of these tanks are imitation models produced in Poland, and their performance is improved compared to the original foreign models. Slightly stronger) began to deploy south, ready to challenge the German first armored army commanded by Guderian.
And just as the Polish army must not let go and fight for the final resistance, most of the Polish leaders are packing up and preparing to flee to Britain. The nominal commander-in-chief of the Polish Armed Forces, Lieutenant Marshal Leigh Smithley, had not informed his government nor his army, and fled Romania with money.
