With the German offensive on its own, the Soviets had lost the vast farms around Warsaw and the strategic depth they relied on to contend with the Germans. However, the Germans did not let up their grip on the Soviet-occupied zone and surrounded Warsaw from all sides.

Tukhachevsky had no choice but to make a desperate gamble and concentrate all his troops east of Warsaw on the line east of the town of Lazmin, preparing for a decisive battle with the Germans.

Hoffmann traveled back and forth between Berlin and Warsaw, presiding over what President Eric considered a just war. The slogan of the German army was "Justice, Liberation of Poland", and as a result, to a large extent, received strong support from the local armed forces in Warsaw.

While Germany and the Soviet Union were fighting to the death in Warsaw, Norway, Sweden, and Finland in the north also fought to the death against the Soviet Union.

With the exception of Sweden, Finland and Norway were all German weapons. As European partners in the military alliance, the three countries formed 22 divisions with a total of more than 240,000 troops, and the Soviet army against them had a total of 19 divisions with more than 210,000 troops. The two sides have clashed several times on the Finnish border, with casualties on each other, and a tug-of-war has now formed.

At the same time, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and other regions, under the overall planning and consideration of Defense Minister Zekter, gave full play to the enthusiasm of various localities to defend their homeland and country, and soon formed a huge German civilian armed force, and defeated the Soviet army in Varenna, Sharchchininkai, Ostrowitz, and other places.

At present, the civilian armed forces are slowly advancing towards Novopolotsk under the fire of the Soviet army, and the main force of the 12th Soviet Army stationed there has long fled in order to protect itself.

Novopolotsk was the birthplace of Nikonovich's North-Western Army, where troops had been stationed for many years. Such bad news for the Northwest Front led by him was tantamount to losing the city and losing its land and being homeless.

Tukhachevsky understood General Nikonovich's situation and mood very well at this moment, and took the opportunity to encourage him to hold on to Warsaw, and once Germany withdrew, he might have the opportunity to go north to regain lost territory and restore the original strength of the Northwest Front.

Nikonovich is not as optimistic as Tukhachevsky, and although the huge international system of the Soviet Union is still functioning, the odds of winning against such a powerful international system as the European Union are probably not too high, unless the EU collapses due to its own reasons.

"Dear General Nikonovich, don't be so pessimistic, don't look at the situation in our small area that is temporarily unfavorable, but if you look back at the vast Soviet Union, the feeling is very different, even if ten Germans are to fight?" Tukhachevsky opened his arms and made an exaggerated movement.

"Nope! I'm not worried about this, respected General Tukhachevsky. I've been thinking about a question, our system is so huge, and it's connected to the sea everywhere, why do we have to make enemies everywhere and make a big move? What's the point of winning? Nikonovic was extremely puzzled by this.

In fact, he did not advocate that the Soviet Union fight against the powerful European Union, perhaps he was just an unenterprising local power.

"All right, General Nikonovich. Not to mention that, General Ivanov and General Dadenov should be there soon, and we are now faced with how to defend against a few powerful and damned tiger and wolf regiments in the northeast of the German army, who are our real mortal enemies. Tukhachevsky said through gritted teeth.

"Hopefully, this battle will bring the German offensive to a halt, otherwise we will be bogged down in the war of Warsaw." Nikonovich said.

"Yes! The war is too costly, logistics has become our second greatest enemy, and if we don't use this campaign to open the way, we will be forced to compete with the local population for rations, which is not a good sign. "Tukhachev was very melancholy.

"It's an inescapable reality, generals." Ivanov responded.

"The only way out now is to die with the Germans, and there is no other way." Dardenov also arrived.

"Great, ladies and gentlemen, since we have all seen the same cruel reality, what is before us is how to fight the Armageddon of Rajimin. Right now, we are fighting very hard in the north, west, and south, and if we can turn defeat into victory in the east, it will have a positive impact on the whole situation in Warsaw. Tukhachevsky pretended to be confident.

"May I ask the commander-in-chief, when is the time of this Armageddon? How do troops move? These are critical issues that need to be prepared for as early as possible. Dardenov said.

"It's on May 5th, and you still have a few days to prepare. I hope that all colleagues will work together to tide over the difficulties. After Tukhachev finished speaking, he looked at everyone's expressions.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Tukhachev said no more, and then, turning around, he took out a newly created "roster" and handed it to Nikonovich, asking him to see which young people were suitable for serving as soldiers and could be selected from them. Because the cavalry has suffered relatively large losses in recent battles, Tukhachev wanted to express his heart.

Nikonovich took it, flipped through it casually, and handed it back to Tukhachev.

"What? Your Excellency doesn't like any of them? ”

"Nope! Thank you for the kindness of the general, but I can't accept it. What I need now is cavalry that can fight through the battle, not infantry who can charge forward with guns in hand. Even if they are infantry, it is difficult for these people to train into warriors who go into battle to kill the enemy in a short period of time. Nikonovich said.

"Well, when your Excellency needs urgent conscription, you can come to me at any time." Tukhachev put the "roster" back together and began to plan the battle together with several commanders of the front.

Tukhachevzyki walked up to a large military map, pointed to the area near Razimin with his baton, and began to announce his plan to the commanders of the front.

"At the core of the battle, there will be three, the main battlefield is still Razimin, and the rest are Vovomin and Nepole. Of course, this was just a general battle in eastern Warsaw. Tukhachev paused for a moment, then went on again.

"The 14th Army was to throw the main forces of two divisions into the left flank of the town of Razmin, attacking the rear of the Germans from the left flank when the 12th and 15th tank divisions attacked. Two more divisions were thrown into the right flank of the town of Lazmin, while striking at the German skirmishers......"

"What will we do if German planes enter the war?" Dardenov chimed in.

"I have long considered this, and according to the reconnaissance of our intelligence officers, it is possible that the German plane came from Lodz, southwest of Warsaw. As a precaution, we set up a first anti-aircraft artillery interception in the small town of Wazi, and if this interception was unsuccessful, a second interception in the Marki area. At the same time, we will have a third layer of strikes on the battlefield, so please rest assured. ”

"What are we doing with our own planes? We are fighting on the front line, and we can't let them stay in the rear and sleep! Ivanov said.

"Your Excellency's implication is to favor one over the other." Tukhachev said with a red face.

"Nope! Your Excellency misunderstood. In the future, it is believed that it is difficult to deter the German army by relying on the attack of ground forces alone, and if the air force participates in the war at the same time, it will be more certain. Ivanov said......
