Pławi, a small city located on the banks of the Vistula River, is also the only way for the Russian army to move south. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info From here, another day's march to the southeast will be able to reach Lublin. And from Lublin to the location of the Southwestern Front of the Russian Army, it is not far away.

It's just that now Pouvy has been controlled by the Germans. The 8th Panzer Division, along with the 11th Infantry Division of the 24th Army, which was heading south by truck, arrived first, and the important city was captured.

The Germans also paid a lot of price in order to seize Pouvy first. The 8th Panzer Division alone was able to operate less than a hundred tanks after arriving in Pouvy. This is also the result of the armor soldiers searching for good parts on the corpses of other tanks to replace. Otherwise, the number would have to be cut in half.

But even so, they succeeded in achieving their strategic goals. After blocking the road of the Russian 9th Army to the south, the next thing is to tighten the pockets and get rid of them.

Just an hour after the German occupation of Pouvy, a detachment of Cossack cavalry appeared in Pouvy. It's just that when they saw the German troops digging fortifications outside the city, their faces changed dramatically and they immediately fled away.

The news of the German occupation of Pławi soon reached Colonel-General Letzsky.

"Bastard! How could the Germans be so fast? "Admiral Letzsky does not seem to be able to accept this result. After all, as he expected, even if they retreated a little faster because of their day and night walks. But they were more than a day's advantage over the main forces of the German army. In the opinion of Admiral Letzsky, they were perfectly capable of escaping the Kingdom of Poland before the main forces of the German army caught up. But I didn't expect it, and now it falls short.

"General, the Cossack cavalry has already confirmed. Pouvavi fell into the hands of the Germans. The commander of a cavalry division said.

"General, why don't we cross the Vistula? Then head south along the Vistula River. Someone suggested.

"No, we're only twenty kilometers away from Pwawi. Once we cross the river, the Germans will surely know. They just need to follow us across the river and they can intercept us again. Moreover, if the Germans attack while we are crossing the river, the situation will be even more unfavorable to us. One general retorted.

"Isn't it possible that we are just waiting here to die?" Some generals muttered dissatisfied.

"General, why don't we attack at once while the Germans have just arrived in Pouvi and are still on a shaky footing! The Germans were digging fortifications, and with their technology, if they were given a certain amount of time, they would certainly be able to dig up strong fortifications. When the time comes, we will really have wings and it will be difficult to fly. Take advantage of the moment to attack immediately, and perhaps have a chance to break through the German blockade. The commander of a cavalry division suggested.

"Yes! At Sedelce, the Germans showed us with their great firepower how terrible it would be to attack them on their own initiative. We must not be able to give the Germans the opportunity to strengthen the Pławi line. The commander of an infantry corps chimed in.

This suggestion was supported by the other generals, who believed that only by launching an attack now would there be a chance to break through the German defenses, and it would be possible to snatch Płavi and escape. If it drags on any longer, the Germans will build a strong defensive line at Pławi, and the Germans will get closer and closer. When the time comes, they really won't have the slightest chance.

"General, you can't hesitate any longer. If we hesitate any longer, it will be even more detrimental to us! ”

Admiral Letzsky thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, attack Pouvy right away." Tell the soldiers that if they want to survive, they have to take Pouvavi. Otherwise, everyone will have to die! ”

"Yes, General."

After General Retsky gave the order, the Russian 9th Army immediately went into action, and the remaining 100,000 people of the entire army began to march south, preparing to take Pvavi in one go.

Admiral Letzsky also believed that although the Germans were ahead of them and seized Pouvy, they should have been only small forces and could not have been the main force. Therefore, he naturally has the possibility of taking Pvawi if the Russian army launches an attack with all its might.

Two hours later, Russian troops arrived in Pławi. At this time, the Germans were still building fortifications.

Despite the fact that the German soldiers had already worked hard, they had not even dug the trenches. As for the others, they didn't have time to build. In the eyes of the serious Germans, such a fortification was unfinished and unqualified. But alas, the Russians will not give them enough time to build fortifications, and the battle is about to begin. Because the Russians knew that if the Germans had built fortifications, it would be even more impossible for them to recapture Pouvi and escape.

"Warriors of the Russian Empire, now we have interception in front and pursuers in the rear. If we don't fight hard, everyone will die. The Germans, who are ruthless, will never let you live. Therefore, we have a chance to survive only if we break through the German defenses. Ahead, there was the German line. There is no way back! ”

The low-ranking officers of the Russian army are constantly brainwashing the panicked soldiers, stimulating their fighting spirit and making them fight hard in the next battle. Only in this way may there be a slight chance of winning. Otherwise, there really isn't a chance at all.

Those soldiers of the Russian army, although they are not educated, are not stupid. After these battles, they also knew that the Russian army was no match for the Germans at all. Now they are about to be eaten by the Germans. Therefore, they had no choice but to follow the orders of the officers and continue the attack until they were pierced by German bullets and went to God.

"Attack!"

When the commander of the Russian army gave the order to attack, 20,000 Russian soldiers participated in this wave of attack.

Their otherwise insensitive faces were full of despair. All the Russian soldiers who participated in the battle of Shedelce knew that attacking the German line of defense was nothing like looking for death.

"Ulla! Ulla! ”

The soldiers of the Russian army, shouting slogans, launched an attack on the positions of the German troops. Although, they know that such an attack is no different from looking for death. However, they have no choice.
