Dust is billowing from Highway 17 from Lublin to Warsaw, along which a large number of vehicles are heading towards Warsaw.

That's right, this is Commander Hoffman's assault armor cluster, but now even the wheels still can't run fast. Because of the large number of vehicles blocking the road, how can this run fast.

"Look at my gestures, go this way."

At an intersection, several gendarmes in military uniforms and white helmets are directing traffic. Under their command, trucks passed through the intersection smoothly and headed for Lublin.

When a command vehicle opened the intersection, it suddenly pulled over and stopped to give way to the road, and a general with the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulder stepped out of the car and appeared. That's right, this is Hoffman, he saw that the troops were moving a little slowly, and he was going to stop and check the situation.

So when he saw him, the military police officer who was on duty immediately stepped forward to report. "Report, Lieutenant General Hoffmann, the 13th Thirteenth Detachment of the Gendarmerie is on duty here."

"Hello, second lieutenant."

Hoffman asked in return. "How many vehicles can you direct through in an hour?"

The gendarmerie lieutenant replied after a moment's thought. "General, we didn't pay attention to the number, it's probably between five hundred and six hundred."

The traffic volume of five or six hundred vehicles per hour, Hoffman listened to it in his ears, and silently calculated it in his heart, and it would take more than ten hours to ensure that all the vehicles passed.

As soon as I saw the asphalt road under my feet, it was embarrassing to say that it was the main road connecting Warsaw to Lviv, and it did not even have the ability to pass two cars side by side.

Hoffmann was powerless to complain about the Polish infrastructure roads, but it did become an obstacle to the advance of the Romanian troops. At present, the two armored divisions and two motorized infantry divisions led by him have a total of more than 6,000 vehicles, not counting tanks with off-road capabilities and armored vehicles with a certain degree of off-road ability. If these vehicles are added, the number of vehicles in the entire army will exceed 7,000.

With so many vehicles running to Warsaw on Highway 17, it is natural that there will not be too much speed. But no matter how slow it is, it is much faster than an infantry division, because the vehicle can drive 24 hours a day, but the soldier can't.

Not to mention that although the speed is slow, the speed of travel is not less than 15 kilometers per hour, but it can't be as fast as a small force.

And after learning about the passage of the vehicle, Hoffman returned to the command car and couldn't help but complain. "This kind of speed is not conducive to a quick rush to Warsaw, and we need to find a way."

With that, he stood on the military map and began to study the way in and out of Warsaw. He looked at the road that branched off from Warsaw, his finger running over the map, his mind constantly calculating the distance and the capacity of each road.

As he slid his fingers to Radom, a yellow line representing the highway appeared in front of him. This is the Warsaw road from Radom to Krakow, which is a supplementary line from Warsaw to Katowice, an important town on the German-Polish border, via Lodz. And since this road is used as a supplementary line for the military, the bearing capacity of the road must not be worse than the current No. 17 road under his feet.

And is there a road connection between Radom and himself?

Yes There is a road to Radom in Poorna, and the town sits right on the Vistula River with a bridge that crosses both sides. This river, the mother river of Poland, originates in the province of Santa Croce and travels north through Warsaw before emptying into the Baltic Sea at Danzig.

It seemed that Pooler was his target, and when he thought of this, he immediately called the communications staff officer.

I saw him speak. "Communications Staff, how far are we from Poolna?"

The communications staff officer, who was stopped by Hoffman, immediately replied. "Report to the general, the forward of our army is only 8 kilometers from Pulna, and it will be there in half an hour."

"Tell the vanguard that the capture of Purna must secure its bridge over the Vistula. Then send a telegram to the 1st Panzer Division, telling them to change the route of the march, turn from Purna to Route 12 and capture Radom. Then they were ordered to attack Warsaw, using Radom as a main point. ”

There is no way, the capacity of Route 17 is too poor now, so I have to find another way. Moreover, Radom's Polish army was not large, only about the strength of a reinforced regiment, which was not a problem at all for the 1st Panzer Division, which he trained single-handedly.

And the capture of Radom also has the advantage of being able to effectively support the actions of the chief of staff.

The communications staff officer took note of the order and immediately went to send the report, and Hoffman immediately called another staff officer. "I need to take a look at all the roads in our vicinity that have a carrying capacity of more than 15 tons."

"Yes, General."

With Hoffman's order, the 1st Panzer Division began to prepare for a diversion.

Continuing to check the sources, Lieutenant General Hoffmann also found that there was another road between Poolna and Radom. This is a township road, but this road has a lot of freight vehicles in peacetime, and it can withstand the capacity of many vehicles. Crucially, the road from Zvolen leads all the way along the Vistula River to Warsaw.

Since this path is so valuable, why doesn't Hoffman take advantage of it. So then a new order came from him, and the 65th Motorized Rifle Division was to use this road to march towards Warsaw.

And with Hoffman's order, the congestion was eased after arriving in Poulna. Here the assault group was divided into three routes, bounded by the Vistula River and divided into two disconnected parts.

This should be a taboo in military affairs, but it was still used by Lieutenant General Hoffmann regardless of it. Could it be that he was carried away by the victory, or that the temptation of Warsaw was too great to make him forget about the danger.

In fact, none of these were any, and the war reports from the German side made him dare to divide the troops into two parts.

At present, Germany has broken through the lines of the Polish army on all fronts. In the Polish corridor, the German 4th Army had routed the Polish Pomeranian Army and encircled the enemy in a forest area north of Schivez and west of Grauttenz. All 3 infantry divisions and 1 cavalry brigade of the Polish army group "Pomorian" were annihilated.

The German 3rd Army, which was targeting Poznan, had also repelled the Polish Army Group Poznan, and was now retreating to the rear. However, the German armored forces did not intend to let them go, and surrounded them in the area from Kovo to Kutwo.

As for the southern front, the Germans moved more slowly because of the lack of armored forces. The German Eighth Army, having defeated the Polish Army Group Lodz, was pursuing across the Warta River. The 10th Army had just defeated Army Group Krakow, and its troops were divided into two lines, advancing all the way to Krakow and the other to Kielce.

Now Poland is facing such a defeat on all fronts, and there is no good way at all, but it can only keep pumping inland troops to try to plug these gaps, but where can the Poles plug so many gaps.
