Then the Polish-Soviet war entered a new phase.
In the months that the Polish side stopped, it rushed to repair the fortifications day and night. An almost coherent fortified area was formed along the border, based on a "fast front". In the face of such a strong defensive line, the Soviet side used huge force.
The scale of the war was enormous as a result of the full mobilization of both countries.
The Polish side has gathered 450,000 troops on the border, most of whom are recruits. Fortunately, due to the last battle of the Soviet Union, too much gasoline and other supplies were consumed. As a result, they have almost two months left to complete the most basic training for these recruits.
As for the equipment, there is no need to worry, since the future income of the Chinese Federation has a large amount of resources as a guarantee, it is natural that these soldiers will not be allowed to fight the war with their bare hands. With the arrival of the airship group, light and heavy weapons flew from the sky to the hands of these soldiers.
Hiding in a strong fortress, they did not worry much about the attack of the Soviets. After all, these fortified areas were not like the field fortifications they had previously garrisoned. Under the construction of the Chinese Federal Engineering Corps day and night, these forts were built in full accordance with the standards of the Chinese Federal Army. Even if the Soviets used large-caliber artillery to bombard them continuously, they still had to burrow into the ground to fight them for complete control of the fortified area.
Correspondingly, the Soviet side also again expanded the strength of the national army. And this expansion began on the naval side.
According to the agreement, the Chinese Federation sold to the Soviet side a fleet consisting of old German warships, including a 34,000-ton attack aircraft carrier, 10 "improvised aircraft carriers" for other purposes, and another 20 "air carriers" carrying "tadpole rotary-wing attack aircraft" to form the Soviet side's "Northern Fleet." They provided adequate protection for the northern coast of the Soviet Union, and with the cooperation of shore-based fighters, the northern coast became the "backyard" of Soviet security.
In addition, the Black Sea Fleet, which is composed of "air carriers," "improvised aircraft carriers," and shore-based air forces, has also provided the Soviet Union with relative security in the Black Sea. And poses a considerable threat to the neighboring countries along the Black Sea coast.
Including Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania and so on, the means of defusing the Soviet naval threat were nothing more than money. Of course, it was not bought with money, which was simply used to buy enough aircraft and other equipment from the Chinese Federation so that they could confront the powerful naval formations on the Soviet side.
The USSR did not have enough money to pay for these military equipment, and even if there were they would not have used money to buy them. In such a situation, the USSR granted the Chinese Federation the right to exploit oil in the Caucasus for 5 years. According to their calculations, even if the Chinese Federation builds oil fields, refineries and other facilities there now, it will be three years at the earliest before it is possible to produce large quantities of oil.
So in reality, they only had two years of mining rights, and after the mining rights expired, the Soviet Union enjoyed the results of the construction according to the agreement. In the eyes of the Soviet Union, this was a good business, and it was extremely beneficial to the initial development of the country and the ongoing war.
However, what the Soviet government did not expect was that the Chinese Federation entered into force at the moment of the agreement. In a very short period of time, complete sets of construction, exploitation and oil refining facilities have been transported by airships. A construction army of 50,000 technicians and a large number of ordinary workers was completed in a few months. As for pipelines and roads, they were not built at all. Cargo airships can easily import all kinds of refined oil into the Federal Republic of China to meet the needs.
Even the large quantities of oil needed by the Soviet Red Army on the battlefield were provided by the oil fields here. When the Soviets found out that the Chinese Federation could be built and put into production so quickly, they found that the business did not seem to be as good as initially expected. But agreements between states, especially with a powerful country, are not so easy to change. Therefore, the only thing that is fundamental for them to be ready for everything and end the war as soon as possible.
In fact, all this was nothing more than a facility that had already been prepared, and the course of the Polish-Soviet war could be said to be due to the fact that the arms of both sides were entirely supplied by the Chinese Federation. Therefore, the course of the war was, to some extent, also in the hands of the Chinese Federation. Therefore, this seemingly impossible thing happened.
The expansion of the navy allowed the Soviet Red Army to mobilize more troops for coastal defense into the "Polish-Soviet War". This time, a total of two rapid armored corps participated in the attack, each with one tank corps and two mechanized infantry corps, plus two infantry corps. If we add logistics and other auxiliary units, the entire attack group is about 1 million troops.
In addition to the 20 "air carriers", it also includes 1,500 warplanes and more than 1,800 artillery pieces as a support force for the attack.
This border battle, which the two sides had been preparing for three months, was extremely tragic as soon as it began.
The attackers' artillery fire did not deal a devastating blow as expected, and those fortified areas withstood the artillery fire and bravely resisted the armored attack of the Soviet Red Army.
With the cooperation of the army air force, air force fighters and pillboxes, plus infantry rocket launchers, flamethrowers, and anti-tank mines, the first wave of wheeled tanks of the Soviet Red Army was defeated. But then, the more intense and prolonged shelling finally stopped the outpouring of flames from these forts. The ground forces were occupied under the next offensive of tracked heavy armored units.
However, the characteristics of this fortified area are the same as those we have already introduced to you. Front and rear, between support points. All are connected by an underground passageway. The capture of the surface does not mean victory in the battle. In desperation, the Soviet Red Army had no choice but to send a considerable number of infantry into the underground passage and engage in a desperate battle with the Polish army underground.
Finally, the Polish army, with a large difference in heavy firepower from the Soviet Red Army, had to withdraw from its positions and move to the second-line fortification area.
As the regrouped Soviet Red Army continued its offensive, they found themselves facing the same fortified territory as the border. Had to carry out a more brutal and costly attack.
In this way, the defending side takes advantage of the strong position, delays and depletes the strength of the attacker. The attacker, who tries to make a swift and far-reaching attack after the breakthrough. Time continued in the pursuit of the two warring sides, and throughout the summer, the Soviet Red Army was in front of the preset positions of the Polish army, inch by inch, attacking Polish territory. The war at this time no longer involves the independence of Ukraine, and the war at this time decides the fate of Poland.
This continued through the summer, the winter, and the days after the end of the winter.
In March 1922, the Soviet Red Army, singing the military song of victory, closely followed the footsteps of the Polish army until they reached the Polish capital, Warsaw.
Warsaw, as the "end point" of this campaign, has long begun the most rigorous construction. Of course, it's not about building tall buildings, it's not about building parks. Instead, all the inhabitants of Warsaw were mobilized, and strong barricades were built, and a dense system of support points was built. Even the buildings were all built by the construction team of the Chinese Federation, and the "air bridges" fixed by steel cables were connected together, forming a three-dimensional defense system.
The city, in front of the Soviet Red Army, had become the most impregnable fortress in Poland. From the very beginning, it was expected that there would be a mortal battle in Poland, so the Polish government evacuated a considerable number of residents in advance. By this time, Warsaw was not only the capital of Poland, but also the last hope of the Poles.
At this time, the continuous offensive had already consumed a considerable amount of the Soviet Red Army. And the replenishment of recruits, supplies, and ammunition will take a considerable amount of time to complete. Under these circumstances, the Soviet government threatened the Warsaws and demanded that they end the war with dignity.
However, the Soviet government, which hoped to sign the "alliance under the city", was disappointed. Their request for a conditional end to the war was sternly rejected by the Polish government.
"We will not surrender! Never, if we can't live freely in this world, then we would rather show our pursuit of freedom with my life! ”
Faced with such a situation, the slightly disappointed Soviet government did not care. After all, this battle was already expected by the Soviet government. After analyzing the determination of the Polish Government, they concluded that the Polish Government's attitude was nothing more than the assumption that the measures adopted by the European countries at the League of Nations against the Soviet Union would be effective.
In fact, the Soviet Union, which had the Chinese Federal Republic to provide raw materials for production and military industry, did not have this problem at all. The construction of a huge domestic industry did not stand still because of the war. On the contrary, the USSR did not have any direct squeeze into the war because of oil. In addition to the impact of human resources on the construction of the country and the economy, the impact of the "Polish-Soviet War" on the Soviet Union was negligible.
Now it will only take a short time for the Soviet Red Army to replenish the Red Army, which had been overdrained in the previous offensive, until they have enough strength to attack Warsaw. As for the intervention of the European powers, the Soviet Union at this time was not very worried.
After all, the problems on the Spanish side were enough for them to have a headache. Chapter 76: The Alliance Under the City
