Two days after the end of Operation "Tragedy", Major General Segdon, the interim commander of the "Pomerania" Army, who had resolved his internal troubles, conveyed to the international community the intention of the "Pomerania" Army to surrender and hoped that the German army would send officers to negotiate specific matters.

The Germans quickly responded and sent a corps of officers led by the chief of staff of Army Group C, Lieutenant General Reichenu, to Vallube, who were to negotiate with Lyon plenipotentiary to receive the surrender of Army Group Pomorian.

Immediately after the arrival of the German officer corps in Vallube, talks began.

Since all the high-ranking officers of the "Death Fighting faction" in the "Pomorian" army group were completely killed, the negotiations between the two sides proceeded extremely quickly, and after half a day, they reached a consensus and signed a surrender document.

On May 21, more than 133,000 Polish soldiers in the Polish corridor handed over their weapons and flags to the nearest German troops, waiting for the next departure of the German army.

After the surrender of the "Pomerania" Army, the German Army Group C quickly occupied the entire territory of the Polish corridor and went straight to the Masovian Province, where the Polish capital Warsaw was located.

The "Modlin" Army Group stationed this time was already struggling to support the attack of the German Army Group A, and after the surrender of the "Pomorian" Army, which had attracted the entire strength of Army Group C, their already precarious defensive line was again under pressure from the entire Army Group C.

Seventeen hours after Army Group C launched its offensive on the Masovian province, the northern front of the Masovian province was lost, and the armored units of the German Army Group C rushed through and rushed into the Masovian province, pointing the finger at Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

"Bastard! A bunch of traitors! In the presidential office in the presidential bunker in Warsaw, Mośičićki was frantically throwing everything he could throw in his hand, venting his anger and fear, "Segden! Chamberlain! Lebrun! They are all traitors, and they don't believe in their words! ”

"Mr. President, you should dissipate your anger first." The secretary on the side persuaded him in fear, for fear that Mośichitsky would be unhappy and throw him on the battlefield at the front.

"How do I get rid of my gas? You tell me! "Half a month ago, the damn bombers of the Germans began to appear above us from time to time, forcing me to hide in this damn bunker!" ”

"I thought that if we could withstand it, our 'allies' would send troops to support us, and in that case it wouldn't matter if I hid in a bunker! But now? Our 'allies' have millions of troops on the Franco-German border, but they won't launch that damn attack! Even our own people betrayed me, betrayed the Motherland, threw ourselves into the arms of Germany, and let the damned Germans fight me all the way! My secretary, our capital, Warsaw, is coming to an end! You tell me, how do I deflat?! ”

Just as Mošičitzky was furious, the door to the office was pushed open, and an officer walked in and said respectfully: "Mr. President, the car has been arranged, please leave Warsaw as soon as possible." ”

"Leave Warsaw...... The Warsaw ...... listened to the officer's words, and the look of anger receded from Mośichitsky's face, replaced by a sluggish and pale one, "No, no, I will not leave it!" The whole world has betrayed me, but I cannot betray my homeland, I will live and die with Warsaw! ”

"This ......" the officer was stunned, coexisting and dying with Warsaw? Judging from the current situation, is there still "saving"?

"I'm going to fight back, I'm going to drive the Germans out of Poland!" Mošičitsky was a little crazy, and he pushed away the officers and secretaries who were in his way, and rushed out of the president's office to the operations command room not far away.

At this moment, the operational command room was busy, all the officers were busy burning documents and destroying equipment that could not be taken with them, and they were going to leave Warsaw with Mośichitsky as planned, and go to the safety of the rear to continue commanding the Polish army.

"Bang!" While everyone was busy tidying up, the door of the combat command room was pushed open by Mośichitsky.

"I've decided not to leave Warsaw!" Mośichitsky announced to the crowd, "I will launch a counterattack in the Masovian province!" I'm going to drive the Germans back to their homeland! ”

The officers in the operational command room were stunned, they stopped what they were doing and looked at Mośichitsky in a daze.

After a long silence at the scene, a colonel weakly asked a question that everyone wanted to ask: "Mr. President, what are we going to fight back?" ”

"Cavalry!" Mośichitsky replied with a flushed face, "Our hussars have brought us great glory, and I believe that at this most critical juncture, they will be able to bring back victory for us and for the motherland!" ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, they did have cavalry troops on hand, and there were many of them (those on horseback were faster than those on foot), but it had long been proved that cavalry was a class of troops that should have been eliminated a long time ago, and it was impossible to beat the German torrent of steel.

"Hmph, of course, those who want to leave can still leave Warsaw." Mośichitsky looked at the despair on everyone's faces and snorted disdainfully, "The motherland and Warsaw need real warriors, not cowards!" ”

Most people were relieved to hear Mościc's promise to leave, regardless of Mośěcitzki's mockery of being a "coward."

After all, it is better to be a "coward" than to stay here and accompany the madman to death.

However, although everyone believed that staying was seeking death, there were still some officers who were extremely loyal to Mośichitsky and were unwilling to easily cede the capital to others, and chose to stay and accompany Mośichitsky and Warsaw on their last journey.

In the evening of the same day, senior military officers and government officials who had decided to evacuate Warsaw left Warsaw by car.

Mośěcitchi and a group of officers who remained behind began to carry out their counterattack plan, transferring four full cavalry divisions from their original defensive lines, plus three now rare infantry divisions to form the "Polish Strategic Counterattack Force", which was deployed in the northern part of Masovian Province.

According to Mośěcitchić's plan, the heartbeat was divided into three stages.

The first stage was that these four cavalry divisions and three infantry divisions would charge the advancing German Army Group C in the north of the Masovian province, and the German Army Group C would never have imagined that Poland would suddenly launch a counterattack, and would inevitably be routed by the "Polish Strategic Counterattack Force" due to panic.

After the defeat of the German Army Group C, it entered the second stage, in which the "Polish Strategic Counterattack Force" would not stop to pick up the "retreating German army", but would advance at high speed towards the Polish corridor, retake this outlet to the sea, and once again cut off the connection between Germany mainland and East Prussia.

Having cut off East Prussia from the German mainland, the Polish army would carry out the third stage of the counterattack plan - an offensive against East Prussia.
