On September 30, 1939, just after the Battle of the Buzura River, the members of the French Officers Corps to Poland packed up their belongings and ended their trip to Poland.

Since this battle with heavy losses was proposed by Belonte and other French officers, their group of French naturally became the broom stars in the eyes of a group of generals in the Polish High Command. If Belante had not proposed this counterattack, the Polish army would not have lost more than 200,000 main forces, and would have lost all their old capital.

As a result, when Belunte and other French officers boarded the plane to return home, not a single Polish officer of the rank of colonel or higher came to see him off. In this regard, Birant himself did not complain at all. He knew what the Polish army had lost because of his plan, and he was even a little glad that the Poles were able to let him, a sinner, leave alive.

"General, are we really just leaving?"

Several accompanying French officers asked Berente, the leading major general, unwillingly. After all, he was a proud French soldier, and after the defeat, there was always a desire for revenge in his heart. They all felt that they were really ashamed of their arrogant status as the first army in Europe - to the French officers!

"Don't think about it, everyone pack everything that should be packed, and don't rub it off after getting off the plane." Belant reminded in a whisper: "It's good to be able to go." In the unlikely event that the Poles had repented and had to arrest us and shoot us, even if Marshal Petain had come to intercede, they would not have been able to protect us! ”

Béronte's words were not loud, but they caused several French officers who were whispering to immediately shut their mouths honestly. They did a great favor to the Polish High Command, and even if they wanted to make up for it, it was impossible for others to believe the "guidance" of these sinners.

There were some things that Bronte did not say. That is, after this battle, Poland's defeat was decided. In the past ten days, the Polish army on the Western Front has lost 7788, and it is estimated that the combat strength will definitely not exceed 100,000.

Look at the losses of the German army, except for a division deliberately released as a decoy in the battle of the Buzura River. The rest of the troops almost relied on strong firepower superiority and air support, and most of the losses were controlled within double digits! The fact that the losses could be so small was of course due to the heroic fighting of the German army and the refinement of weapons. But more reason, it was because the Polish army's tactical thinking was outdated, and most of the troops had low will to fight in the face of superior German forces, and they were about to collapse at the first touch.

In the end, even the 30th Division, which the Germans deliberately threw out as bait, the Polish army could not eat it completely. On the contrary, at the last moment, the German 30th Army, which was on the verge of a desperate situation, made a beautiful counterattack, and was captured by the German 30th Division, which had only more than 1,000 people left, more than 10,000 soldiers!

At such a time, the greatest threat to the Polish army was not combat losses, but from the low morale within the army and the number of surrenders day by day!

The fifth military power in Europe, it was beaten by Germany, which was previously ranked fourth, in 10 days, and even lost the ability to fight back. It's not that God is joking, it's that there is something wrong with this ranking!

This army ranking was made by the French Ministry of Propaganda, which is recognized as the number one army in Europe. Among them, they took it for granted that they put themselves in the first position, the suzerainty of the British Commonwealth, Britain, was arranged in the second position by friendship, Italy, the hegemon of southern Europe, was overestimated by the French Propaganda Department as the third land power in Europe, and the emerging power Germany made the French Propaganda Department extremely reluctant to list it as the fourth power.

In addition, the position of the fifth army power in Europe was fairly assigned to Poland.

However, this battle made Belante, who had no doubt about the ranking of the domestic propaganda department before, have objections for the first time. If Germany is really a little stronger than Poland, as it is said at home, why would Germany win so easily when they face each other?!

"General!"

Just as Birrent and his party were all boarding the return plane, a lieutenant colonel in the officer corps handed over a telegram from China.

After hurriedly reading the telegram twice, Belonte's face instantly turned pale, and he shouted: "Take off!" Get out of Poland now! ”

Although Belante did not have time to explain the reason, his military academy, coupled with this anxious attitude, was enough to make the driver immediately obey the order.

"Yes!"

There were no more doubts, and the plane in which the French officer was flying quickly took off and returned home. After a few minutes, they broke off the runway and slowly lifted off towards the northwest. Because the German army had already controlled the air supremacy on the Polish battlefield, the plane in which Belante and others were flying could only fly a certain distance north, through Norway, and then back to France.

Belante looked through the window at the Polish airport below, and took one last look at the city of Warsaw, which had not yet been devastated by the war. Now they have risen to an altitude of almost four thousand meters and are about to enter the thick clouds. In another minute, everything on the Polish battlefield will have nothing to do with them, and they will not even be able to see it.

Bironte slowly closed his eyes and casually handed the telegram that he had been holding tightly in his hand after reading it to the others for circulation. When the last French officer finished reading, even from a height of more than four thousand meters, all of them seemed to clearly feel the gloomy chill emanating from the Polish High Command on the ground.

"Marshal! A telegram was sent from the French Admiral Gammelin. ”

At the same time, Smigrean, who was in his headquarters in Warsaw, received a telegram from France with much the same content as the telegram in Bérente's possession.

In the telegram, Gammelin, who had just become commander-in-chief of the French army and commander-in-chief of the Anglo-French forces on the Western Front, explained: "In the northeast, more than half of the French army's active divisions are fighting. But since we crossed the border, we have met with stubborn resistance from the Germans. We made significant progress in many areas, but we were also caught up in the hard positional battles of World War I. In the face of a well-prepared enemy, our artillery needs were not fully satisfied........

France's air force, which has been operating in tandem with ground forces since the beginning of the war. But we also know that Germany is armed with a considerable number of aircraft.

Therefore, my promise to devote all my forces to the offensive in the second week after the French mobilization was fulfilled. More things to ....... Sorry, I can't do that. ”

This telegram is full of articles, but it sums up one meaning: seeing that the German army is so awesome, we suddenly don't want to fight the German army. Poland itself and Germany to play, don't count on my previous promises.

"Fart!" After listening to the telegram, Smiegre smashed the cup on the table on the spot. Then he stepped on the debris one by one and roared: "Ah....... Ganmalin, that pig and dog are not as good as the waste. After we have pinned down so many German tanks and planes, nothing has been accomplished! No........ He did it on purpose, and he didn't even think to help us. ”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and finally grabbed the telegram sent by Ganmalin, and began to tear it up roughly: "Excuse! It's all excuses! What flanked Germany, divided its territory. What the Allies will definitely come to their aid. It's all fucking shit! The French officer corps's self-proclaimed clever Belante caused us to lose 250,000 elites, and Gammelin, a villain who did not believe in his word, abandoned us........ I........ I'm going to kill them!! ”

"That's right." Speaking of Bironte, Smigre suddenly turned his head sharply and stared at a staff officer who was in charge of coordination before, and said coldly: "Where's that bastard Bronte?" Where is the French officer corps now? I'm going to slaughter them! ”

"Yuan....... Marshal, Major General Belant....... I packed up my bags and ran away early in the morning, and you received a report. ”
