Warsaw, the city named after a pair of lovers, Poland's largest city and the country's capital, finally ushered in a ground attack by German tanks after three days and three nights of indiscriminate bombardment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The order of the Polish commander to defend Warsaw to the death initially caused a certain amount of trouble to the German generals, and from the beginning of the war to the present, the bravery of the Polish soldiers has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, despite the seriously backward tactics of the Polish command class.

Warsaw was the capital of Poland, and at the same time concentrated a large number of Polish defenders, so when they decided to defend the city to the death, the German military was also a little worried, they were afraid of casualties, and street fighting was bound to cause unimaginable casualties.

After bombing Warsaw for three days and three nights, Rundstedt had no choice but to give the order to launch a general attack, and the Supreme Command repeatedly issued orders to resolve the Warsaw problem as soon as possible, but the enemy in Warsaw still refused to surrender in the face of such indiscriminate bombardment.

"The order is down, I'm going to go for mobilization, do you want to stay in the military headquarters or go with me?"

With the order in his hand, Guderian looked at Li Ling.

He never saw through Li Ling, especially after Li Ling went to Berlin for a short time and returned immediately.

After that, the orders of the High Command became clearer and clearer, and every effort was made to clear the remnants of resistance in the western part of Poland, to break through Warsaw in the shortest possible time, and thus to psychologically demoralize the Polish army. The Luftwaffe would provide unprecedented air support to both Army Groups, and reserves would be immediately put into battle.

It was definitely a risky move to put the strategic reserve into the battlefield at this time, and everyone knew that Britain and France were eyeing each other behind their backs at the moment, but why did the Supreme Command, which obviously had some scruples in the original order and did not dare to invest troops, make such a 180-degree turn after Li Ling went to Berlin?

"You go by yourself, I'll sleep, just call me."

......

The final mobilization for war was being made on the front line, and the general assault on Warsaw would begin in an hour's time, but once again there was startling news from the High Command.

The French suddenly launched a small offensive on the Eastern Front against the Siegfried Line, but the attack was quickly thwarted.

While everyone in the High Command was considering whether this was a signal that the French were going to attack, Field Marshal Raeder, the commander-in-chief of the German Navy, also hurried to the High Command.

"The French are trying to bomb my base, they are coming with a lot of planes and want to bomb my aircraft carrier Zeppelin in the port of Kiel! You have to be vigilant, this is likely to be a sign that the French want to attack! ”

The news brought by Marshal Raeder can be described as explosive, which once again provided strong evidence of the Anglo-French attempt to intervene in the war, but such evidence was simply disastrous for Germany.

Since William Keitel was dismissed, the Supreme High Command has not designated a supreme leader, and Rudolf Hess has always intervened from time to time, so in fact, for them, the High Command has no backbone.

Although everyone had been thinking about settling the Polish question in the direction that Heydrich had always offered, and had disobeyed Rudolf Hess's orders, at a time like this, everyone's hearts suddenly began to waver, and Rudolf Hess was right? Could it be that we have all been misjudged all along?

Whether or not to transfer troops from Poland became an idea that everyone had to consider for a while.

Just when everyone was becoming more and more inclined to send troops back home, Heydrich appeared again, this time, not alone, but with two men, one was Air Marshal Falkebier, and the other was William Keitel, who was at home.

The arrival of these three men almost instantly calmed the panic that was spreading in the High Command, with Föckebil as the Field Marshal of the Air Force, Heydrich as the only hope they could see during this time, and Keitel as their backbone all along.

After the three of them arrived, the answer given to everyone was quite unanimous, that is, to solve the Polish battlefield with all their might, and the British and French forces could not think about it at all.

It is not known how Heydrich managed to get both of these men and get them to agree with him completely, but the only thing that is certain is that the views of the Supreme Command are now unified, and even a small circle has been formed.

The man at the heart of this small circle of German military power was neither a military marshal nor a minister of the Reich, but a small SS chief, Reinhard Heydrich, the head of the German Imperial Security Service.

With strategic goals in place, everything else starts to fall apart.

But they didn't expect that there was an even bigger gift waiting for them next.

Just when the troops on the outskirts of Warsaw were ready to attack, quietly waiting for the moment to launch the attack, an unexpected situation suddenly happened.

Just in the last minutes before the offensive was launched, a Polish officer suddenly appeared in front of the German positions.

This Polish officer brought something that no one had considered for a long time - the Polish defenders wanted to negotiate!

In response, the commander-in-chief of the German Army Group South, Rundstedt, immediately issued an order to suspend preparations for the offensive.

The commander of the Eighth Army, Raskowitz, immediately began negotiations with the commander-in-chief of the Polish defenders, and the negotiation process went very smoothly.

In the evening of the same day, German troops officially entered Warsaw, and the Battle of Warsaw ended at the cost of not losing a single soldier.

As the German soldiers walked through the streets of Warsaw, they finally learned what the city had been through, and gave the highest recognition to the conditions put forward by the Polish defenders during the negotiations.

After three days and three nights of bombardment of the entire city, where is there still a piece of land that is intact? Everywhere there were rubble, corpses and wounded people everywhere, and at least 40,000 lives were lost in the three days of bombardment, the heroic Polish soldiers still did not choose to give up their resistance in this situation, but the next news they received made their hearts fall to the bottom.

The Polish high-level officials who had evacuated Warsaw told them that the Polish government would always organize resistance in Poland, but what they did not expect was that instead of continuing to organize resistance, the Polish government fled to Romania, and even planned to flee to France!

The Battle of Warsaw, the only battle in which the Germans did not suffer casualties, was likewise the only one in which there were no prisoners since the beginning of the war!

The spirit of the defenders of Warsaw had already moved Rundstedt, who not only decided to give all-round treatment to the Polish wounded and sick, but even allowed the Polish officers to keep their sabers, so that the Polish servicemen, after going through the necessary formalities, could be completely free and retain all the honors they had received during their previous service in the Polish army!
