Transmigrated as the Crown Prince
Chapter 166: Battle of Poland (29)
"I will not leave these cowards. I will live and die with Warsaw!"
He and President Moschiecki had always been inseparable, but now that he heard that this coward was going to run away, Marshal Himigwe was angry and frustrated. Think about it a few years ago, when the Polish army beat the Soviets to pieces and cut off a piece of meat from the Soviet territory. How glorious it was at that time, but now, everything is beyond their expectations.
Marshal Himigwe suddenly found that he did not understand the current war model at all. They foolishly deployed a large number of troops on the border, hoping to block every direction of the German attack. They also prepared a large number of cavalry to prepare for the German army to be attacked by the British. When the French army retreated under pressure, they counterattacked.
The commander of the French military delegation in Poland, General Louis Xiaoyou, was not optimistic about this defense model. He tried to persuade Poland to give up some valuable areas in the west, such as the Silesian industrial area, and then move to the Nalev River, Vistola The right line of the river basin was heavily fortified, and a step-by-step defense was carried out to delay time and wait for the British and French to launch an attack on the western front.
However, this effort ultimately failed completely due to the stubbornness of the Poles. The Poles did not want to cede the densely populated agricultural areas and industrial cities in the west within hours of the war, fearing that doing so would evaporate the country's will to resist.
The result was that this line of defense without any defense thickness was easily surrounded, divided, and eliminated by the German mechanized troops!
Now there is only one way left, and that is to hold on to Warsaw until Britain and France attack Germany.
Just when he was about to mobilize his troops and defend Warsaw, the adjutant who had just left ran back with a panicked look on his face, bringing more terrible news.
The Soviet Union declared war on Poland!
Ten minutes ago.
At the Rivne Army Headquarters on the Eastern Front, Commander Slawi Krakovsky was holding a regular meeting of the military department. Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet shook slightly, and a series of muffled sounds came from the distance. He had participated in several wars and was very familiar with this feeling. He stood up in excitement. "Where did the shelling come from?!"
A staff officer ran in in a panic and shouted. "Commander, commander, it's not good, the frontline positions are under heavy shelling by the Soviet army! The Soviets are attacking us!"
Everyone in the conference room changed their expressions. Now that Germany's offensive in the west has reached the gates of Warsaw, the situation is extremely urgent. At this time, the Soviets actually took advantage of it? ! "Isn't it possible? Didn't we sign a non-aggression treaty with the Soviet Union?" an officer asked with disbelief. In July 1932, the "Polish-Soviet Non-Aggression Treaty" was signed with Poland, which was valid for 10 years. These greedy Slavic gray beasts blatantly broke the agreement? !
Commander Rakovsky slammed the table and gritted his teeth. "These damn bastards! After the meeting, everyone goes back to their respective posts and fights hard against these gray beasts!" The treaty is just a piece of waste paper. Even if it is signed, it is prepared to be torn up. But at least you have to save some face, right? Germany also used the "Oles Village Massacre" as an excuse to attack Poland, but what about the Soviets?
It is tolerable, but what is unbearable! !
"These damn Soviets!"
There was a burst of curses in the conference room of the Berlin Palace. "Damn Slavic animals, so shameless." Everyone cursed these shameless Soviets. It was so shameless. When the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact was signed at that time, it was agreed that the two countries would send troops to conquer Poland at the same time. But after Germany began to attack Poland, these guys pretended to be deaf and dumb, neither declaring war nor sending troops. Germany didn't care about anything and wiped out Poland's main force in one fell swoop. When it was about to wipe out the entire Poland, the Soviet Union shamelessly came to pick up what was already available and compete with them for territory. Are there such shameless people in the world?
Everyone in the conference room was filled with indignation, but Yannick was the only one who was very calm. Isn’t the Soviet Union always virtuous?
The last time Molotov agreed so happily, he had thought there would be something fishy in it.
Stalin did not dare to declare war. Firstly, he was afraid of being beaten by Poland in the last Soviet-Polish war. Secondly, he was afraid of Britain and France behind Poland.
Now we see that Poland is so vulnerable that it was beaten to Warsaw by Germany in just a few days; and we see that although Britain and France pretended to declare war on Germany, they did not send out a single soldier or fire a single shot. Stalin was certainly not a fool. He saw that Britain and France were conniving with Germany, hoping that the disaster would go away, and fantasizing about war between Germany and the Soviet Union.
Therefore, it is crucial for the Soviet Union to establish the so-called "Eastern Defense Line" as soon as possible.
The Soviet Union's all-out attack caught Britain and France off guard, and Britain hurriedly stopped France's well-prepared second attack plan. In their view, Poland was nothing compared to the threat of the Soviet Union's advance into Europe. If the Soviet Union and Germany could be allowed to fight to the death, then Poland would have made a considerable contribution to Europe.
I don’t know how the Poles would react if they knew that the allies on whom they placed all their hopes had such dirty thoughts.
Relying on the "Polish-Soviet Non-Aggression Treaty", seven Polish armies with one million troops were deployed on the German-Polish border, and five other armies with 500,000 troops were deployed on the Soviet-Polish border. Of these half a million, the majority Some are still second-line troops. Just when everyone thought that the Soviet army would break through the Polish defense line and break into the hinterland of Poland like the German army, a shocking situation happened.
The first batch of Soviet troops that launched a full-scale attack were easily blocked by the Polish army. The Soviet army had not crossed five kilometers across the border when they encountered a fierce counterattack by the Polish army. The Soviet army was beaten to the ground and suffered heavy losses. They fled back to the place where they originally started in embarrassment.
After counting, the Soviet army found that there were more than 60,000 people who failed to escape from this attack, and more than 40,000 slightly wounded people who were able to escape on their own.
Obviously, these more than 60,000 Soviet troops were either seriously injured or killed in battle, or were captured or missing.
More weapons were lost. Most of the Soviet soldiers who fled back were empty-handed. The weapons they set out were nowhere to be found.
There were 200 tanks participating in the attack, most of which were T-26 light tanks with a measly 15 mm armor protection.
In addition to conventional anti-tank weapons, Poland also has an advanced anti-tank rifle. At the end of 2035, the M35 anti-tank rifle that fired bullets and used a traditional rotating pull-back bolt was successfully developed.
Its biggest feature is that it fires tungsten alloy bullets, which can be said to be top technology at the time. When other countries learned about it, they were all shocked. A seemingly simple and ordinary rifle has such strong penetrating power. There seems to be a penetrating power that is difficult to resist! At first, the outside world only noticed the oversized shell of the bomb, and did not know that the tungsten alloy warhead in the warhead was at work. Later, similar tungsten alloy bullets appeared in Germany and the Soviet Union, but the application of tungsten alloy to bullet bullets has always been recognized as a Polish achievement.
As a result, half of these thin-skinned and big-filled T-26 light tanks were destroyed on the battlefield.
The Soviet ground forces were vulnerable, and the Soviet air force was not much better. During the Spanish Civil War, the German Air Force accumulated a lot of combat experience, but the Soviet Air Force only increased a large number of casualties.
As a result, facing the Polish army's old aircraft, the Soviet Air Force did not take much advantage, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides remained at a one-to-one level.
Stalin, furious, mobilized 700,000 reserves, and an army of 1.4 million marched into Poland, escalating the war in an all-round way.
