Chapter 33: Bloodstained Armies
When Molotov's speech was just halfway through, he noticed that someone suddenly entered the venue and leaned over to say something to Tang Yunyang. Then Tang Yunyang and Mike. Lang exchanged opinions in a low voice, and then Tang Yunyang suddenly made a pause gesture.
Molotov stopped his words, guessing in his heart.
"What's wrong, isn't it ......?"
"I'm sorry Mr. Molotov, but I see that we have to interrupt the negotiations that I pulled. Because we have just received information that the Polish troops in Warsaw have launched a counterattack, I think we will wait until this battle is over! β
"The Polish army launched a counterattack...... It's over......"
At the thought of the Soviet troops, completely cut off from supplies, Molotov lamented in his heart.
Just when Cai Yi sent the news to Tang Yunyang, the last bloody battle was going on on the battlefield that had not yet completely ended.
Joseph in Warsaw. Pilsudski led the Polish army to start a counterattack, guessing that the spies lurking in the Soviet Union knew the news of the negotiations between the Soviet Union and the Chinese Federation, and if they did not counterattack now, then the Soviet Red Army would have become a "paper tiger" The tank may jump out of its pocket, probably this is Joseph. The true meaning of Pilsudski's counterattack.
As mentioned earlier, the Polish side was quite interested in the armored equipment of the Red Army, and if they could be dealt with cheaply, it would undoubtedly be a windfall for Poland, which had suffered heavy war losses.
So he went on the offensive.
By this time, the Soviet Red Army had completely ceded the skies to the air force of the Polish side due to the lack of fuel.
In the absence of fuel and air supremacy, Tukhachevsky had no choice but to put on the appearance of being beaten with his back. The Great Wall of Steel, consisting of two armored divisions, laid a certain foundation for Tukhachevsky to carry out the task given to him by the high command to cease fire with the "Thunder International", but not to compromise with the Poles.
The remaining tanks of the two tank divisions in the fierce battle were heavily protected with sandbags. In this way, the external muzzles and machine guns will cause the attacking Polish army to crash head-on into the copper wall.
In the hedgehog-like resistance hubs formed by the tanks are armored vehicles that are used as anti-aircraft fire. They are armed with 12.7mm machine guns, forming a dense network of anti-aircraft fire. Inside the iron wall of tanks and armored vehicles are mobile 75mm vehicle-mounted guns.
This arrangement allowed Tukhachevsky to use a small amount of fuel to organize a wall sufficient to defend the Polish army. It's just that due to the lack of ammunition, he may not be able to hold out for long, and he will be completely wiped out in the bombardment of the opponent's large-caliber artillery.
Here, one might laugh at such a hedgehog formation that completely abandons mobility. Will Tukhachevsky, as a famous general of a generation, make the naΓ―ve mistake of the Huang Wei Corps? Actually, it was something he had to do. After all, there is no supply at all, and you still have to fight desperately, and this is just the last fight.
Infantry attacking tank lines is definitely a brutal battle. The only advantage that the Polish army had over the opposing side was their air force.
At the beginning of the war, 2,000 Sabre fighters, loaded with ammunition, launched an attack on the defense line of the Soviet troops. The dense fleet did not attack the steel bunkers on the ground, which made the Soviet infantry lying near the steel bunkers quietly relieved.
Groups of planes flew forward in the black smoke from the explosion of Soviet anti-aircraft shells, and from time to time planes that were hit by bullets would drag the black smoke to the ground. The Polish fleet, which seemed to be unaware of these losses, continued their journey until the heavy artillery positions of the Soviet Red Army, when they swooped down with their arms crooked.
The anti-aircraft fire network protecting the heavy artillery regiment made their last efforts, and the black smoke emitted by the anti-aircraft guns tried to block the way of the dive planes. The 12.7mm machine gun bullets on the side strings, as well as other light fire bullets, formed a network of fire, like some sharp blades. I can't stop wringing and smashing the planes that are caught in the fire net.
But the Polish pilots, who were as resilient as the Soviet soldiers, were probably no different from the Soviets in terms of the meaning of life. Although their plane was set on fire, even though they had to make their young lives eternal in this vast blue sky. But they did not hesitate in the face of the artillery fire of the Soviet Red Army.
Finally they dropped a bomb and landed on the ground with a whistling sound, and the flying shrapnel immediately knocked the Soviet Red Army gunners to their combat positions. With the arrival of more Sabre fighters. Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, including light fire, were reduced to scrap metal under the shells of their bombs and 25mm cannons.
With the demise of the heavy artillery units of the Soviet Red Army, the artillery fire on the part of the Polish army finally had a chance to vent. At this time, they no longer have to worry about the retaliation of the Soviet Red Army's heavy artillery, and they can turn the anti-aircraft fire and those 75mm guns in the resistance hubs into ashes as they like.
Readers can probably feel that this time the Polish army seems to have a more flavor of the Chinese Federation. That is, to attack a link of the "equipment chain" of the opponent's battlefield to render it useless, and then carry out a first-level firepower strike. The so-called "equipment chain" is the firepower that cooperates with each other layer by layer in the army's overall firepower system.
For example, if the anti-aircraft fire is eliminated, then the attack of air power can destroy the enemy's heavy artillery at will, and naturally the pillbox group of the Soviet Red Army will not be protected by artillery fire. This tactical means of breaking the opponent's "equipment chain" is the most commonly used means of "Thunder International". It's just that the level of weapons and equipment on the Polish side is really too different from theirs.
For example, what will "Thunder International" do after destroying the opponent's heavy artillery and taking control of a field from the air?
Undoubtedly, it is the best choice to parachute into a "central flowering" to destroy the opponent's rear base and make the opponent's command a mess. Well, what to do when the Polish army did not have airborne equipment?
Naturally, this could not be difficult for the "advisory group" sent to the army by "Thunder International" in accordance with the agreement with the Polish government, and after listing and reporting on the equipment of the Polish army, they already had a new plan.

As night approached, Tukhachevsky watched with anguish at the fires on the lines of the Soviet Red Army. So far, with the exception of a few battles between reconnaissance teams, the Polish side has not launched a large-scale offensive.
The heavy artillery continued to roar, blasting the anti-aircraft fire and artillery fire in the resistance hubs to pieces. In the rear, the heavy artillery units had completely collapsed by this time under the onslaught of the opponent's air fire for a continuous day. The soldiers who did not have supplies, by this time had no morale to fight, and with the intensification of the air attack, they had completely collapsed.
"This ...... Such instructions did not take into account the lives of the soldiers at all! β
He gritted his teeth at the flames that came from the explosion of those shells. As a soldier, he didn't know much about politics that deeply. Otherwise, he would not have been killed by Stalin, who believed in Germany's "anti-intrigue" in future political struggles. In reality, this was just a means for Stalin to pretend to be deceived and remove the stumbling block that stood in his way of controlling the army.
"What a cruel choice it is to keep the Poles from acquiring the equipment of the Soviet Red Army, and then prefer to make it to ashes along with the lives of the soldiers! However, I am afraid that this plan has already been seen by the other party. After destroying the heavy artillery, it is only necessary to surround this force tightly, and then everything will only need time to be solved...... What a ridiculous decision! β
The sky, though it had gradually darkened, had not yet completely turned into a dark night, when something worried him appeared. Some huge airships floated slowly from the sky, and Tukhachevsky, who had completely lost anti-aircraft firepower, had to look at their majestic figures and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The other party's intentions are secrets in his eyes. The use of "air carriers" to transport troops and carry out boat landing was just another means of demoralizing the armored forces of the besieged Soviet Red Army.
Sure enough, Tukhachev did not guess wrong. The airships were not loaded with any "tadpole machines", and as night fell, they landed towards the safety of the air force during the day. Subsequently, an engineering unit appeared there, and they began to work busily.
Soon after, the sound of the engine sounded again in the night sky.
In fact, it was not a "Sabre" fighter, nor was it a follow-up unit carried by an airship, it was actually a "tadpole rotor attack aircraft" owned by the Poles. It is really hard to understand what these planes used for ground attack are doing when the visibility is quite low when they arrive at night.
When they flew closer, if there was a light that could illuminate these small ground attack aircraft, then everyone would find out. On the short wings that used to carry rockets, there were four soldiers back to back.
That's what "Thunder International" is for Joseph. Pilsudski came up with the idea that under the cover of night, the "tadpole rotorcraft" could fly several times between the city of Warsaw and the airborne base. By the time the morning of tomorrow, the Red Army will find that they are facing an enemy that is not just from the front.
