On April 21, the day before the Battle of Bialystok, the Chief of the General Staff, Hoffmann, had already begun to operate the Battle of Warsaw, and it was only in view of the fact that the armies of all directions were not yet fully in place, that he came up with a way of fighting from far and near, and catching turtles in urns.

Both Hoffmann and Rundstedt knew very well that once the Battle of Warsaw began, the German army on the Eastern Front would have to make all-round contact with the Soviet Union's 3 million troops with 4.2 million troops, and it would be divided into the first and second battlefields. That is, the Warsaw strangulation, the Bialystok blockade.

Sooner or later, this stalemate had to be broken, and the presence of Soviet troops, like a sword forever hanging over the heads of the Poles, was becoming more and more threatening, and the Poles had to put aside their internal differences and contradictions for the time being. There was no doubt about embracing Germany closely and working together to drive out the mighty Soviet Union, and Hoffmann knew it, because he never fought an unprepared battle.

Germany's move undoubtedly gave hope to the Poles, as if a bright arrow had been shot in the dark of night, finding a new way out for the armed recovery of the Poles.

The Polish Independence Army (SPA) is the only armed force on Polish soil. After the Soviets captured Warsaw, Titovsky gradually became a formidable homegrown force to be reckoned with through hard work and the containment of scattered soldiers and the improvement of the discipline of the troops.

At the same time that the Soviet Union declared war on the government of Spain and Jose, Germany also solemnly declared war on the Soviet Union in the heart of Europe, and received a unanimous response from all European allies, including the Polish Independence Army.

In the midst of the fierce battle of Bialystok, Hoffmann quietly left the swamps of the Vistula and quietly returned to Berlin, where he listened to the President of the Federal State, Eric Adrian, about the impending Battle of Warsaw.

"I have nothing else in mind, Your Excellency Chief of Staff. The general rule is to unite and rely on the forces of justice in the whole world to isolate and combat the arrogance of the Soviets. Eric's words rang out.

"With regard to the situation of various countries launching armed attacks on the Soviet Union at the same time, I hope that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense will send me at least one press briefing every day, so that I can make reasonable adjustments to the battlefield input in a timely manner." Hoffman made only one request.

"I have had in-depth communication with these two departments on this issue, and in the absence of leaks, Zeckert will instruct the radio station to use plain language as much as possible, and you can listen to it immediately when the time comes." After Eric finished speaking, he handed Hoffman a very special radio.

On the morning of April 23, when Bialystok was under the full control of the German army, in addition to the commander-in-chief of the army, Rundstedt, the commander-in-chief of the air force, Richthofen, the commander-in-chief of the navy, Hipper, and others hurried to the Hanseatic Palace and asked to participate in the war at the same time.

With the war imminent, Eric had high hopes for the soldiers on the front line, and after meeting with the Chief of the General Staff and the Commander-in-Chief of the three services, Eric also strengthened his war strategy.

Within five hours, the Air Force was the most rapid, having already deployed about 300 BF109 fighters from three fighter aviation divisions to the temporary Lodz Air Base southwest of Warsaw with Hoffman's support, and quickly doubled the original base.

At the same time that the various group armies of the army are advancing eastward in an all-round way, the maintenance groups of various regiments of the Air Force are also constantly making large-scale transfers to the above-mentioned areas and carrying out various service work. In addition, about 200 BF-10E bombers of two bomber divisions have been stationed at the temporary airfield of Petrikozy under the unified arrangement of the General Staff.

By noon on 23 April, three of the maintenance squadrons below the maintenance group of each regiment had begun to take charge of routine maintenance, and at the same time, the work of regular inspection and minor repair of aircraft was also proceeding step by step, and the planes for which each maintenance group was responsible were relatively stable and gradually had the conditions for going into battle.

Soviet-occupied Warsaw had become an isolated island compared to Germany, and when it entered Warsaw in 1934, it was met with fierce resistance from local Polish forces, and although a large number of troops were replenished thereafter, the morale of the troops was low due to the slow renewal of weapons.

At present, the main military force of the Soviet troops stationed in Warsaw is the Western Front led by Tukhachevsky; Dadenov's Southwestern Front; three cavalry corps of Nikonovich's North-Western Front; and the 14th Army of the Far East; The total strength is about 480,000 troops. Among them, Budyonny's First Cavalry Corps was fully manned and was an assault force.

Just when Germany was in full swing preparing to launch a general attack on the Soviet troops in Poland, in the early morning of April 22, Turkey had already waged a desperate struggle with the Soviet garrison in the Caucasus, and both sides invested a large number of mechanized troops, and the battle was very fierce.

On April 23, while Germany was moving towards Warsaw, a fierce battle between Iraq and Iran against the Soviet troops on the front line had already begun in advance.

It was a very coincidence that Gerhard Rommel, then lieutenant colonel of the 11th Army, deputy chief of staff and chief of intelligence, and Erwin Rommel, the elder brother of the then commander-in-chief of the 10th Army, would take part in the battle against Sowarsaw.

Ever unwilling to give in to his brother, Gaihard wanted to show his combat and command skills in this battle, and in doing so, win his brother's respect and the approval of his girlfriend Martina.

William Loeb, commander-in-chief of the 11th Army, had long known about the relationship between the two brothers, but out of love for Geihard, he didn't want the young and vigorous Gaihard to make any mistakes. Instead of assigning specific combat missions to Geihard, he told the commander of the 92nd Division, Major General Pau Fischer, to take good care of this "restless" young man.

Gaihard, who was bent on making meritorious contributions, was very dissatisfied with such an arrangement, and had no choice but to find William Loeb himself to theorize.

"Oh! I know you're coming, Lieutenant Colonel. Sit down and have a drink? William Loeb received Gaechard with a smile.

"Thank you! Your Excellency, I don't want to drink anything, I just want to get a word from you. You have a great reputation, a great military achievement, and have become the proud and favorite of Mr. President, why are you not willing to give some opportunities to the younger generations? Gaihard said straight to the point.

"Oh, God! Just come to me for this and ask me about it? Oh, well, wait, you should understand that you can also show excellent command skills in the command office of the division headquarters, am I right? William Loeb still got up and poured a glass of wine for Gaehard.

"This is different, Your Excellency General, I am so old, it is not easy to have such a chance to fight, I ask the general to satisfy my wish to go into battle to kill the enemy." Gaechard took the wine from William Loeb.

"Nope! No, no! Young man, there are also many opportunities for meritorious service in the agency, and as long as you help General Pau Fisher well, I can give you ten or eight rewards. Well, my little brother, don't talk about it anymore, there's no possibility. William Loeb was so sure that Gaechard was at a loss for a moment.

"Shall we all give it a step? Your Excellency, General. Let me do the most difficult task under the right circumstances. "Gaihard is stubborn.

"I'm convinced, Lieutenant Colonel. Why do you value honor so much? Isn't that a dead eye? William Loeb drank it down. Strangely looked at Geihard.

"Your Excellency, I do not value honor, but the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the country. These are two different concepts. Geihard reckoned that General William Loeb might make a slight concession and drained his glass of wine before waiting for William Loeb to speak.

"Well, lad, I'll give you a chance if I can, but it's just a little secret between the two of us, and you can't tell anyone. Another drink? "William Loeb is sometimes like an old urchin.

"Good! Another drink. Gaihard said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Excellency! ”

The cups of the two of them touched each other crisply, smiled tacitly, and then drank it all.

Looking at the back of Geihard's departure, William Loeb both liked and muttered in his heart, he wanted to give Rommel an explanation, and he wanted Geihard to go into battle to kill the enemy peacefully, and his heart was suddenly very conflicted.

In fact, there was far more than one Geihard in the 11th Army, and Fritz Witt, the lieutenant commander of the 3rd Battalion and 1st Company, who had already made great achievements in Bialystok, was also applying for the task of attacking the fortification, and he really did not know how to balance the demands of these young men.
