Chapter 175: The Battle of Poland Pomorian" Army
After Germany had penetrated Poland's central defensive line, the Czechoslovak Expeditionary Force launched a full-front attack on Poland on the same day. Fastest updates
The Czechoslovak expeditionary group consisted of the Moravasia Expeditionary Army, the Vlkolinets Expeditionary Army, and the Bardyov Expeditionary Army, with a total of 350,000 men.
Although the Czechoslovak Far Ridge Group was inferior to the German army, it was much stronger than the Polish Army. On the first day of the Czechoslovak offensive, Poland deployed on the Czech and Polish borders, and the Carpathian Army defending the direction of Czechoslovakia was completely defeated, and more than 100,000 people abandoned all their heavy equipment and rushed backwards in a panic, until the second line guarded by the Krakow Army Group stopped its pace.
After the accession of Czechoslovakia, the already turbulent situation in Poland completely collapsed, and countless Poles were anxious to withdraw the money deposited in Polish banks and transfer it to the banks of neutral countries such as the Swiss Bank, so as to ensure that they would not be penniless in the event of Poland's defeat in the future.
Polish Corridor, City of Vallube.
Located in the middle of the Polish Corridor, Vallube is a beautiful ancient city with a rich history, but with the capture of Danzig by the German Navy and the siege of Pomerania, this originally beautiful and peaceful town began to smell of gunpowder.
However, since it was still some distance from the front line of the Polish Corridor and was also home to the headquarters of Army Group Pomerania, the daily lives of the people in the small town who did not want to evacuate were not affected.
At this moment, on the central street of Vallube, Manfred and Claire were wearing casual clothes, holding hands and strolling intimately.
They are just like an ordinary couple, but the "love words" between them are very special.
Manfred glanced at the gate of a building not far away "nonchalantly", then put his mouth "intimately" next to Claire's ear, and whispered: "Claire, have you written down the sentry situation?" ”
Claire's face was a little red when she heard this, maybe it was pretended, or it could be for other reasons, she also leaned into Manfred's ear and said, "Manfred, am I pretty?" ”
Manfred glanced at Claire solemnly, and then his eyes returned to the original blur, and said, "Claire, be serious!" We're on a mission! ”
However, Manfred has to admit that Claire, who has taken off her military uniform and changed into a dress of a flower girl, is really very beautiful.
"Okay, okay, I wrote it down!" , Claire listened to Manfred's reprimand, pouted and replied with an unhappy face: "What kind of Major General Segden, I can't even get a defense map, and we need to touch the situation of the sentry post ourselves, what kind of major general is this!" ”
"You can't blame Major General Segdon for this, it's the two old foxes Bortenovsky and Kutsheba who are too cunning." Manfred explained, "Major General Segden gave us identity and brought us legally into and out of Vallube, where we were not allowed to enter, and it was already the limit of what he could do. ”
The Major General Segdon, as they speak, was a senior staff officer of the "Pomerania" army.
After the Germans completely surrounded the "Pomerania" army in the Polish corridor, they constantly sent people to persuade them to surrender, hoping that the "Pomerania" army would stop resisting, so as to reduce many fearless casualties.
However, General Bortenovsky, who was the commander of the "Pomerania" Army, and Lieutenant General Kutsheba, chief of staff and second-in-command of the "Pomerania" Army, believed that Poland could get support from Britain and France, and Britain and France would launch an attack on Germany on the Western Front as agreed, so that they only needed to hold the Polish corridor for a while, and when the Allies captured Berlin, the war would be over, and they would become Polish heroes because they would stick to the Polish corridor and not retreat.
Therefore, these two men sternly rejected the persuasion of the Germans to surrender, and said that the "Pomerania" army could only be eliminated, and they would become the last soldiers of the "Pomerania" army to die in battle.
Regarding the decision of the two commanders-in-chief, the top echelons of the "Pomorian" group army were roughly divided into two factions: one was the "death faction" that resolutely supported the fight to the last soldier and would never surrender, and the other was the "surrender faction" who advocated surrender in order to save his own life.
Of course, after the two military commanders expressed their decision to fight to the death, the "capitulation faction" did not stupidly and directly express their intention to surrender, but secretly contacted the German army in private, hoping that the German army could find a way to solve the hard-line "death war faction", and then they would be able to seize power and make the "Pomerania" army group surrender to the German army.
Therefore, on the surface, there is only one faction at the top of the "Pomerania" group army, and that is the "death faction."
The German side was very embarrassed by the hardline attitude of Bortenovsky and Kutsheba, who "would rather die in battle than surrender", but since Bortenovsky and Kutsheba were bent on death, in the spirit of humanitarianism, the German army still chose to cooperate with the "surrender faction" and sent a special task force composed of the "ghost" alpha team and a special forces subordinate to the Wehrmacht to Vallube, intending to give Bortenovsky and Kutsheba a ride.
The operation was codenamed "Funeral".
And just now, Manfred and Claire pretended to be a couple in order to secretly spy on the outposts outside the headquarters of the "Pomorian" army.
After jotting down the general situation, the two quickly returned to a Polish army logistics station in the city of Vallube, the stronghold of the Einsatzgruppen.
Yes, Major General Segden assigned them the status of a suburb of Vallube hired by the Logistics Service on a temporary basis.
"How?" As soon as the two returned to the stronghold, Conrad pounced on him and asked eagerly, while the others on the side also looked at the two of them, waiting for them to introduce the situation.
"Let Claire talk to you." Manfred pointed at Claire and said, then picked up a glass of water and drank it.
"The defense at the entrance of the group army headquarters is very tight, and in addition to more than 30 soldiers guarding the gate, there are at least four secret posts in the shadows." Claire told everyone about what she had written down.
"Gee, who asked you this?" Conrad waved his hand and said, "I'm asking how the two of you went on a date today?" ”
"Poof!" Manfred squirted out a mouthful of water.
Claire thought for a moment and replied with a smile: "It's not bad, it's just that someone is too wooden." ”
The rest of Alpha Squad and the Wehrmacht Special Forces burst out laughing.
"Ahem." Manfred blushed and coughed twice, went up and kicked Conrad's ass, and said angrily, "Can you not be poor?" Be serious when you're out on a mission! ”
