Chapter 464: The Battle for Warsaw (Forced Ending)
Suddenly, a shell exploded not far from Sivari, and the war horse was hit by shrapnel in many places, bleeding profusely all over its body, and slowly fell to the ground.
Sivari was also wounded by shrapnel in his left arm, and he bit off the strip of cloth and wrapped it around his arm a few times, then got up from the ground with a gun in one hand and a knife in the other to continue fighting.
Several German soldiers, noticing that a Soviet cavalry lieutenant colonel had been wounded, rushed in unison. Undaunted by danger, Sivari first tried to get himself on his feet, then raised his knife forward, blocking left and right. Faced with the approaching guns, Sivari struggled to pick out the bayonets of the two Germans, raised his foot and kicked one German soldier in the front, and then swung his knife at another German soldier...... In just a few tens of seconds, several German soldiers died under his knife.
Suddenly, a small group of German soldiers rushed over from the artillery fire, and after finding the wounded Sivari, they hurriedly raised their guns to shoot, and Sivari quickly lay down on the spot and raised their guns to return fire. However, after pulling the bolt, he found that there were no bullets, so he had to lie in the foxhole with a steel knife in his hand.
"He's out of bullets, on! Catch it alive! The Germans swarmed around him.
In the face of the bright bayonets of the German soldiers, Sivari stood up from the foxhole with great spirits, raised his knife again, and prepared to meet the battle.
"Oh! God, this boy seems to be able to stand up. A German soldier said.
"Get up, Soviets, aren't your cavalry very good at fighting?"
With no way out, Sivari took his knife sideways, took a few steps back, and without hesitation, swung his knife and rushed towards Germany. The Germans were taken aback by this sudden move, but soon shouted and stabbed Sivari with bayonets......
Sivari's steel knives clanged in the encirclement, and the Germans fell to the ground. At this time, Sivari had been wounded in many places all over his body, blood was dripping down, and after fighting all afternoon, he felt very tired, his body shook a few times, and finally he couldn't bear the drowsiness, and he collapsed.
As the sun fell, the Germans shouted and pounced on the Soviet positions and into Warsaw in front of them, leaving behind them a large area of scorched earth and corpses that could not be seen.
Everything that could be burned was burning, and everywhere was filled with the smell of charred corpses. In the evening, Sivari was awakened by the tongue of a wild dog, and he opened his eyes, sat up hard, and scared the wild dog into running away.
The shells were still rumbling in the direction of Warsaw, but there was silence in front of them, except for the small ravine under the dirt slope, everything was dead, including the grass on the ground.
At this time, Sivari felt that his mouth was dry, he took off the kettle from his body, and shook it, but there was not a drop of water, so he got up from the ground with great strength, picked up a rifle, and walked towards the small ditch under the dirt slope step by step......
At this time, the city of Warsaw was full of wreaks, and Tukhachevsky was still commanding all sides of the army in a dying struggle.
When it got dark, troops from outside the city began to rush into the city, and the main roads into Warsaw were suddenly crowded. The command sent a law enforcement team to block, suppress, and even fire a warning shot, but the sound of gunfire could not frighten all the remnants of the defeated soldiers, they carried, carried, and supported each other, with only one thought, that is, to enter the city, enter the city!
Nikonovich waved his hand and told the law enforcement team sent by the command to leave this matter alone, because they could not manage it, so the troops entering the city began to march to the spacious churches, squares, schools and factories in high spirits, hoping that they could find a relatively good place to settle down and sleep well, as for when the Germans came in, and their own life and death were no longer very important.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is not a single soldier outside the city, doesn't this mean that the door is open to the German army?" Tukhachevsky was opposed to the entry of troops into the city from beginning to end.
"All positions have been lost, there is no place to stand outside the city, and the troops can only surrender to the Germans without entering the city, or they will be completely wiped out. Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, we have no other choice. Nikonovich said.
"Well, well, my generals. Even if there is no way for the troops to enter the city, at least we should ...... it right now Prepare to defend the city at once, I don't want to see the Germans swaggering with bayonets forcing you, and of course you, to raise your hands in surrender. Tukhachev shouted hoarsely.
"Rest assured, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, our army has been heavily fortified with deep ditches and fortifications on all roads leading into the city, including the use of high-rise buildings and open bunkers, etc., and the Germans will have to pay a heavy price if they want to enter the city. I thought, at least today, oh no! Tomorrow, the Germans will not want to enter the city. Dardenov said.
"Well, now that you have decided, you can only obey the majority in the minority." Tukhachevsky said.
It was clear that Tukhachevsky had something to say, and in the presence of all the staff officers and officers of the command, he wanted to shift the responsibility for the loss of Warsaw to several other leading officials.
Nikonovich listened very unpleasantly, and was about to say something, when Ivanov and Dardinov hurriedly glanced at Nikonovich and told him to calm down.
At this time, the people of Warsaw were hiding at home and did not dare to go out, otherwise, as long as they were young and strong men, they might be caught in the army to carry the wounded, transport corpses, deliver ammunition, and even women might be requisitioned to cook for the Soviet army. Because the slogan of the Soviet army is now "Defend Warsaw, Defend the People."
At night, the stars and the moon came out, and it was very clear inside and outside the city, which was not good for the siege and not good for the defense. Hoffman went to the front in person, looked at the sky, and only shook his head.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let the troops rest in rotation, our soldiers are tired." Hoffman said to William Loeb and Rommel.
"Your Excellency, go and rest, you see, such a bright world, not to mention the Soviets, even a mouse will not want to slip out from under our noses." William Loeb said to Hoffman.
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency Commander, I am not so tired yet. Oh, so be it, don't rush the troops to storm the city first, and then talk about surrounding. I think it won't take long for Tukhachevsky to figure out how. Hoffman said with a smile.
"In that case, let's just get some food and drinks, drink a few glasses to the moon, and wait for Tukhachevsky, the old boy, to raise the white flag to us, what do you think?" William Loeb said to Hoffman.
"I don't have a problem, it depends on whether General Rommel is willing to have a drink with the old man." Hoffman took off his gloves and simply sat on the ground and waited for Rommel to reply.
"Oh! All right, Your Excellency. The troops have been deployed in place, the Soviets have become turtles in the urn, such a beautiful moonlight, if I don't accompany His Excellency the Chief of Staff to drink, what else can I do? Rommel also took off his gloves and sat on the ground.
"Great, everybody. The key to why the Germans have been able to win one after another is to be able to unite as one. Oh, Lieutenant Volker Shapiro, can you help us get some tasty food? William Loeb said to a staff officer at the command post.
"This is not a difficult matter, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief. General Rommel had been ready for a long time. Shapiro waved back, and several soldiers immediately lined up to bring out plates of wine and food.
