On 17 September, the city of Kutno fell completely, and the defenders of an infantry division in the city were completely annihilated.

The fall of the city of Kutno meant that the Poznan Army had further reduced the room for maneuver, and they no longer had enough room to evade Luftwaffe air strikes.

The main force of the Poznan Army outside the city tried to break through to the southeast on September 16, but was met by the German Army's 10th Army, and more than 40,000 people were captured on the same day, and finally except for a small force that took advantage of the night to take advantage of the Caniponos Forest to break out of the encirclement, the remnants were all annihilated by the 10th Army on the 17th.

On the same day, Polish President Mošićski, who had long since fled to the Polish-Romanian border, led important government officials across the border into Romania and accepted asylum in Romania.

On 18 September, the Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Armed Forces, Field Marshal Smigway-Rez, left behind the Polish soldiers and civilians who were still resisting, and fled to Romania with his staff.

On the same day, to add insult to injury, troops of 20 infantry divisions, 15 cavalry divisions and 9 tank brigades of the Soviet Red Army's 7 armies entered Poland with the support of 8 aviation groups, while Poland's troops on the Soviet-Polish border had only 25 border battalions.

The mechanized group, which was the vanguard of the Soviet Red Army, planted a white flag on the front of the car, and when it met the Polish border guards, it shouted: "Don't shoot, we are here to help you fight the Germans." ”

When the bewildered Polish border guards hesitated, the Soviets rushed in front of the Polish troops and disarmed them, killing them by the Soviet Red Army if the Polish army put up a little resistance. In just two days, the Soviet Red Army penetrated more than 100 kilometers deep into Poland.

While the Soviet Red Army was storming eastern Poland, the German army, which was on a rampage in western Poland, did not show weakness. After destroying the Poznan Army, the last mobile force of the Polish army, the Germans surrounded the Polish capital Warsaw.

On 22 September, all the foreign embassies living in Warsaw were evacuated, and the Germans refused to persuade the Warsaw defenders to surrender, and immediately began air and artillery bombardment of the city of Warsaw, as well as infantry attacks.

On 28 September, the defenders of Warsaw raised a white flag and surrendered after paying the price of 5,000 dead and nearly 100,000 wounded.

In the eyes of ordinary German soldiers, the victory in the Polish campaign meant that Germany occupied half of Poland, and also opened up the land connection between Germany mainland and East Prussia, and of course, the most important point was that the German army, which had not fought for 20 years, gained war experience.

In Chen Dao's view, what Germany gained was a declaration of war by Britain and France; The harvest is on the eastern border with the ferocious "polar bears". Britain and France were already at war with Germany; The polar bear seems to be innocent, but it is very likely that it slapped Germany on the back during the war between Germany and Britain and France, as it did with Poland.

Another two days passed, and the news of Poland's victory on the battlefield came one after another, but Chen Dao's face became more and more gloomy, until October 3, French Prime Minister Daladier and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain issued announcements one after another: "Unless Germany restores the normal status quo in Czechoslovakia and Poland, the two governments cannot trust Germany's sincerity, and they will fulfill their duties as allies to the end, until the German government guarantees its commitment to peace with clear action." ”

"Hmph, shit-like diplomatic rhetoric, it's impossible to get Germany to spit out the Czechs and Poland that have already eaten in their stomachs."

Chen Dao threw away the newspaper in his hand, and also threw away the last vestige of fantasy in his mind, thinking that he could cross into this world and make the heads of government of Britain and France hot-headed and promise the German peace agreement, but now it seems that he is hot-headed, history has not changed, and the war will continue.

Standing by the window of the office with his hands behind his back, Chen Dao saw the gunners training in the playground outside, and after Chen Dao returned to Berlin, Goering ordered the remnants of the 7th Air Defense Battalion and the rest of the 7th Air Division to withdraw from the battle and withdraw to China.

Goering also used his power to transfer the 7th Air Defense Battalion out of the 4th Air Force and turn it into a garrison air defense battalion at the Luftwaffe headquarters, so Chen Dao was also given an office at the air force headquarters.

The 7th Air Defense Battalion suffered heavy losses in the Polish battle, with a net attrition of nearly 200 men by a third, and it was the recruits who were being trained outside, and they were getting acquainted with the anti-aircraft guns in their hands under the leadership of veterans.

Goering's adjutant knocked on the door and walked into the office and asked Chen Dao, "Major Rosen, the marshal is waiting for you outside, we are leaving." ”

"I'll be right here." Chen Dao straightened out his military uniform, walked out of the office on crutches, and sat in the back seat of Goering's Mercedes-Benz sedan.

As soon as Chen Daogang sat down, Goering, who was sitting beside him, frowned and asked, "What about the crutch I gave you?" Why don't you use it? Isn't it easy? ”

"I am very comfortable with that crutch, but I am going to see the Führer today, and that crutch is too luxurious." Chen Dao explained.

Soon after Chen Dao returned to Berlin, Goering gave him a new crutch, the main body of the crutch was made of 24k pure gold, which was carved with wave-like patterns, there was a thumb-sized oval green jade on each side of the armrest in the middle of the crutch, and the cover of the ground part of the crutch was made of white gold, and there was a swastika pattern inlaid with broken diamonds, Chen Dao received the crutch at noon, and under the sun, the light of the local tyrant reflected by the crutch almost blinded Chen Dao's eyes. Seeing that this crutch reflects Goering's standard of living, it is two words - rich.

"It's just a crutch, it's nothing." Goering said: "Today I will go to the Führer to give you a medal, and tomorrow your promotion order will come down." The day after tomorrow is Saturday, Amy has already sent out invitations, and the night after tomorrow there will be a lot of young ladies from famous families to party with you, you must choose one to be your girlfriend. Goering hugged Chen Dao's shoulders and smiled.

Hearing that the promotion order was about to come down, Chen Dao's heart moved and asked, "What is my new position?" ”

"Commander of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment." Goering said.

Chen Dao had a wry smile on his face, and said in his heart that I really couldn't get rid of the fate of jerking off, and asked casually: "Which regiment and where is the station?" ”

Goering didn't speak, but pointed at his chubby face with a red grunt.

"Your regiment?" Chen Dao asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's my regiment." Goering laughed.

"Okay, I got it." Chen Dao nodded, and then fell silent.

By "my regiment" Goering refers to the Hermann Goering regiment, which bears Göring's name.

After the Nazis came to power in 1933, Goering, as the prime minister of Prussia, established a police force called the "General Göring Police Brigade", which was actually Goering's personal army, and played the role of thugs in the "Night of the Long Knives" in the purge of SA Rohm.

On 1 April 1935 the department was renamed the "General Goering Corps", as Göring became Minister of Aviation and Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, and the regiment was transferred from the police to the Air Force in September 1935.

A battalion of the Goering Regiment plus a reconnaissance company had been trained to parachute, and they were the first German paratrooper battalion. This battalion later officially separated from the Goering regiment in 1938 when the paratrooper unit was established in Student and became the initial core of the paratroopers.

The Goering regiment took part in the annexation of Austria, the annexation of the Sudetenland and the Czech Republic. Most of the regiment served guard and air defense duties in Berlin, and only a small number of detachments took part in the Polish campaign, but by this time the Goering regiment was already a purely anti-aircraft artillery regiment.

Chen Dao thought to himself, the position that Goering arranged for himself was also a corresponding professional, but as a bandit, he couldn't always do the job of jerking off, and punching John Bull, kicking the Yankees, and crushing the polar bear on the battlefield was what pure masters should do.

How do you convince Goering to change jobs? Chen Dao fell into deep thought.

Chen Dao pondered and chatted with Goering, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at the chancellor's office.

After getting out of the car on crutches, Chen Dao followed Goering and kept looking around, and when he was about to enter the Prime Minister's Office, Chen Dao finally saw a thin, medium-height figure.

Chen Dao limped towards the back figure and shouted in a low voice, "Old Long." ”

The man was pointing fingers at the two army officers to explain something, and he didn't care about Chen Dao's shouting, and Chen Dao had no choice but to change his title: "General Rommel." ”

The man turned his head to reveal a face that looked shrewd and capable.

"Marshal." Major General Rommel, the captain of the Führer's base guard, first saluted Goering, who was standing beside Chen Dao, and then asked, "What's the matter?" Major Rosen. ”

Chen Dao asked for a briefcase from Adjutant Goering, took out a book from it and handed it to Rommel: "Sign it for me." ”

Rommel took the book and looked at it, showing a heartfelt smile, Chen Dao handed him a copy of "Infantry Attack", the author was Rommel.

Taking the pen handed over by Chen Dao, Rommel pointed to the bandage on Chen Dao's head and asked, "····· is the wound on your head?" ”

"105-mm howitzer of the Poles." Chen Dao said disappreciatively.

Rommel nodded, his gaze quickly swept over Chen Dao's arms and legs, and then quickly wrote on the title page of the book, "May the valiant Major Rosen be healed soon, Erwin Rommel", and after writing the date, Rommel returned the pen and book to Chen Dao.

"Thank you." Chen Dao took the book and said goodbye to Rommel on duty, and followed Goering into the Chancellery.

As soon as he walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chen Dao heard a soft call from behind him: "Major Rosen." ”

Chen Dao looked back, first stunned, then smiled and stretched out his right hand: "Corporal Steiner, why are you here." ”

Corporal Steiner said nervously: "Tonight's award ceremony has a place for our 7th Air Division, and the division commander gave me this place. ”
