Chapter 235: Anti-Encirclement (II)

In the past, the 15th Mechanized Army did not attack Warsaw because of political necessity and other factors, but now the Anglo-French forces had retreated to the Maginot Line, and the crisis of German fighting on two fronts had been largely eliminated. The present form must force the 15th Mechanized Corps to occupy Warsaw as soon as possible, and then rely on the city of Warsaw to defend it, and at the same time completely block the retreat of these Polish troops.

"Request Catherine to send one or two aviation divisions with all aircraft to take off in three batches, with two batches of aircraft specifically to bomb the direction of Vychków, and another batch of aircraft to bomb the direction of Narel, with an interval of thirty minutes between each batch, all carrying ground bombs, including BF109 also carrying two ground bombs, to bomb the Polish infantry division east of Warsaw with the intention of reinforcing Warsaw,"

After Reichenau sent a telegram to Catherine, the commander of the Air Force's Southern Air Force, requesting support from the Air Force, he immediately issued another order:

"Order the 7th Light Panzer Division to attack Warsaw immediately, and the 1st and 2nd Mechanized Divisions to defend on the spot, hold the annular defensive position, and wait for the 7th Light Panzer Division to occupy a small part of Warsaw City, and then shrink the whole army into the Warsaw City defense."

Even in London, England, thousands of miles away, Montgomery and Churchill and Charles de Gaulle of France, as well as two American generals Eisenhower and MacArthur, were sent by Roosevelt to Britain to conduct a strategic assessment of the European war, in fact, these two people were sent by Roosevelt to check the actual situation, and then the President of the United States determined the national strategic plan based on the reports of the two of them, for example, the United States should stand on that side and profit the most. When did the United States enter the war to gain the most money, etc.

The Yankees have a long-term strategic vision, otherwise a country that has only been established for such a short time may rise so magically, and the country that can rise must have the conditions and reasons for its rise, and the same is true for its defeat.

Several of the most famous figures in later generations began the battle flag exercise in the British Ministry of Defense, they have been in the British Ministry of Defense for a day, and there is no major problem with the deployment of the Polish army's troops. All German troops easily broke through the Polish defenses using a new type of tactical "blitzkrieg". The most exaggerated thing is that the German 7th Light Armored Division of Germany, in two days, actually broke through several lines of defense of the Polish army in succession, attacking and advancing more than 200 kilometers.

Commander of the German 7th Light Panzer Division, Rommel and Limer. Of course, these people are also familiar. He even studied the characteristics of these two people's use of troops on the Chinese battlefield. They define the two as:

"Bold with troops, daring to take risks, fond of three-dimensional blitzkrieg with armored forces and the Air Force. Quickly break through and divide the encirclement of the enemy, the two attach great importance to the coordinated operation between tanks, infantry, aircraft, artillery. ”

These famous generals of later generations couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw the German Seventh Light Armored Division advancing so lightly, and they all thought in their hearts, these two Nazis were really arrogant, did he really think that one German and one mechanized army would be invincible? What is the difference between attacking an army in front of a fortified city, surrounded by a heavily armed enemy, and isolated, and looking for death. ”

Therefore, several later famous generals in the British Ministry of Defense quickly came to a surprisingly unanimous conclusion that the German High Command should pull out the designated battle plan and shoot him, and that the commander of the German 15th Mechanized Army, Reichenau, was a war "idiot" who was purely risking the lives of soldiers to die, and such a general was not an "idiot" or anything, and there had never been a general who could be so arrogant, simply an out-and-out "idiot" and a "stupid pig" commander.

……

ROMMEL AND LYMER SOON RECEIVED THE ORDER TO ATTACK THE CITY OF WARSAW, ROMEL FOLLOWED UP WITH TWO INFANTRY REGIMENTS, AND THE DIVISION'S 150MM HEAVY ARTILLERY WAS LEFT OUTSIDE WARSAW BY REICHENAU TO SUPPORT THE COUNTER-ENCIRCLEMENT OF THE OTHER TWO DIVISIONS, WHILE THE REST OF THE CALIBER ARTILLERY WAS CARRIED BY ROMMEL WITH THE ARMY, READY TO BE USED IN FRONT OF DIRECT-FIRE ARTILLERY, THESE 105, 88, 75 GUNS IF USED AS DIRECT-FIRE ARTILLERY, IT WOULD BE VERY POWERFUL IN THE SIEGE OF THE CITY.

And Li Mo of course took an armored regiment and an infantry regiment as the main force of the attack, and at this time Warsaw was like a beautiful woman lying in front of Li Mo with her clothes off, and Li Mo was confident that she would take Warsaw, which had little defensive strength in one fell swoop. For this reason, Li Mo gave a short pre-war mobilization speech to the brothers of the two regiments through the radio station:

"There will be no weak in our heroic, honorable, and senseless 7th Light Armored Division, maybe today you feel a little fear of the enemy's persistence, but you don't have to be afraid, because there are comrades who stand on the same front as you, and they will use their own weapons to protect your safety, if you are a man with backbone, you should let fear turn into strength, and let the cry of victory resound in the sky!!

Today we are not fighting alone, we have air support, extremely powerful air support, they will send those who dare to peep into our ring defense positions to hell, we just have to attack without hesitation. We are not alone in the battle, the great Führer is waiting for the news of our victory, we are not alone in the battle, and our relatives are looking forward to our triumphant figure.

All for Germany, my brothers, hold on to the steel guns in your hands, let us bravely face the stormy battle, and sing our oath aloud together, attack! Offensive!! Attack again!! ”

Admiral Reichenau's voice was heard from hundreds of loudspeakers in all directions, and all the soldiers of the 7th Light Panzer Division could clearly hear Admiral Reichenau's passionate pre-war mobilization speech, passion burned in each of the 7th Light Panzer Divisions, and the desire to fight soared into the sky, and they roared the oath of the 7th Light Panzer Division and began the first round of attacks:

"Whether our people or our soldiers, whether they are in the cold trenches, or in the midst of a scorching barrage. We will never feel lonely and helpless, and even if one day we can no longer raise the banner that we pulled from nothing, the younger generation will look forward to today - and will hold it tightly in their hands! ――

You have the honor of being a brave and loyal soldier of the 7th Light Armored Division.

Every comrade-in-arms is my sibling, regardless of origin or status. I will show the firmness and unity of the family to be together forever -

Respect the troops, respect my commanders. Discipline and friendship are strength, courage and loyalty are virtues.

Glory in swearing allegiance to the great leader -

The task given to you is like a death order, and I must accomplish it at all costs-

"When you fight, you look at death as if you were home, and you move forward bravely. Respect for the defeated enemy. Never give up, no matter if you are wounded or dead, and never surrender under any circumstances. ”――

The will of the Führer is above all else, and the Führer's command is above all truth and law. Unconditional obedience must be achieved. (To be continued......)
