Chapter 338: That's How the Rumors Came From
Poland is basically based on cavalry regiments, which is very evil, but in fact, their cavalry regiment is a battalion-level unit. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Each regiment has 4 cavalry companies, each with 3 platoons.
In addition, there is 1 machine gun company, 1 bicycle platoon, 1 anti-tank gun platoon, 4 anti-tank guns, as well as an engineer platoon, a communications platoon, etc.
The entire cavalry regiment is a force of several hundred people.
And now, in the encirclement, it is the 19th Cavalry Regiment that has been formed.
They had four Bofors 37mm anti-tank guns, but they were all in tow, and when they were surrounded, they did not have time to deploy the anti-tank guns.
As for the others, such as the machine gun company, they can't shoot at the tank.
Almost as soon as he found out that he was surrounded, the commander of the cavalry regiment shouted: "Continue to charge east, break through!" ”
The regimental commander raised his shining saber, so dazzling in the sun.
Cavalry regiment, charge!
At this time, is there any choice?
Now, there is still a big gap in the encirclement of the tanks around them, and the distance between the two tanks is tens of meters to hundreds of meters.
Otherwise, what else can be done? Honestly waiting here to be killed?
The cavalrymen, drawing their shining sabers, began a mortal charge, for every rider, every charge, must hold the determination to die, only put the place of death first, and then there is any hope of survival.
In the eyes of the German tankers, it was the Polish cavalry who went crazy, and they actually charged at their own tanks.
After this battle, the battle examples of the Polish cavalry charging at the tanks were rumored.
Of course, the German side will not deny this rumor, this is personal experience, and the stupid Polish cavalry did just that. Do they think their tanks are made of tin foil on the outside?
And the Poles did not deny that this was a sign of heroic combat for the Poles, although they were not well equipped, but they had courage, and for Poland, as long as they had courage, they would not perish! Leaving a Pole behind is a tinder!
At this time, the Polish soldiers, indeed, were fearless.
Actually, they have another option.
Surrender.
If they surrendered, they would be prisoners of war, at least until now, the German army, there has been no example of the massacre of prisoners of war, the SS, with the strict control of Shirek, and the army, with the spirit of the Junkers supporting them, they disdain to slaughter prisoners of war.
However, the Polish soldiers did not surrender, they never thought of surrendering, either fight or die.
The artillerymen of the anti-tank guns, who cut off the ropes, threw down the anti-tank guns, stepped on the horses that towed the artillery, and the machine gunners, threw away the horse-drawn machine guns, and also stepped on the horses.
The rest of the cavalry also waved their whips together, galloping their horses under their crotches.
As a well-trained cavalry, they made the decision to break through the siege the moment they found that they were surrounded, and all the cavalry started the final charge in unison.
It was indeed the last charge, and in the next moment, the machine guns around it rang out furiously.
A famous cavalryman, constantly falling off his horse, screaming one after another, the ownerless war horse, still running with the horse team, trying to escape from this terrible area, unfortunately, to no avail.
The high will cannot change the disadvantage of the equipment, and the charge of the cavalry is only the last return to the light.
A minute later, there was no sound of machine-gun fire on the entire battlefield, only the neighing of the ownerless war horse.
The entire cavalry regiment, has disappeared.
Opening his turret, revealing half of his body from inside, Wittmann saluted the Polish cavalrymen.
Although as an enemy, although the Poles killed the Führer of Germany, these performances of the Polish cavalry now won the respect of the German tank crews.
This is the admiration among the soldiers, and as soldiers, the Poles are qualified.
So, we must destroy them all!
After killing the Polish cavalry, the armored company did not stop, continued to move forward and took Mokra as soon as possible!
On the battlefield of the attack on Poland, most of the fronts were broken through at once, as if a red-hot iron had been inserted into cheese.
However, in a few areas, there are still big battles, such as Mokla, which is a battlefield that can go down in the history of the Poles.
The other is the Danzig Corridor.
This was a humiliation for Germany.
Originally, Germany was a whole, but after the First World War, Germany was defeated, and Danzig was assigned to Poland as a free city, becoming the "Polish Corridor" to the Baltic Sea, and the originally contiguous German territory was divided into two parts, and East Prussia became an island far from the German mainland.
Germany, not forgetting these humiliations, and the deep blood feud with Poland, the Danzig Corridor was part of the deepening humiliation.
A few hours earlier, just after Ciric had given the order to attack in Berlin, the port of Danzig had immediately entered a state of war.
The Schleswig-Holstein, the last of the German dreadnought-class battleships built by the Imperial German Navy, began construction at the Kilfriedrich-Krupp Germania shipyard in August 1905 and entered service three years later.
During World War I, the warship served in the 2nd Squadron of the High Seas Fleet and participated in the Battle of Jutland, where it was hit by a large-caliber shell.
After that, it was withdrawn from the front line, after which, in 1920, it was re-entered service. In 1935, the old battleship was converted into a training ship for naval trainees.
Now, this warship, just outside the port of Danzig, is on a friendly visit, and all the personnel on the warship, with the idea of visiting, but not with their own naval guns!
The moment the order arrived, the captain was on the bridge and sounded the battle alarm.
The Poles, the conspiracy to assassinate the Führer, this blood feud, to make the Poles pay for it in blood!
The Navy personnel, who had long been preparing for the renewal, immediately got busy at their posts.
The three-stage expansion steam engine in the tail made a rumbling sound, and the ship had not ceased fire, and now it immediately increased its fire and entered the state of sailing.
In the bow and stern, the huge turrets, each with two 280 mm SK L/40 naval guns, were slowly turning.
Load!
Heavy warheads and propellants, which were successively stuffed into the chamber, were aimed at the Westerplater Peninsula on the opposite side with the turn of the turret and the thick muzzle.
At this time, their reaction was the fastest, faster than the artillery on land.
