Brutal battles soon took place in the positions of the anti-war activist Brandt, with anti-tank guns, iron fist grenade launchers, cluster grenades, MG42 machine guns, MKB-42 automatic carbines, and of course, Mauser Type 98 rifles and flat-firing FLAK 30 20mm anti-aircraft guns, all of which were put to good use by the German soldiers in the fight against the Soviet Red Army's tank infantry clusters.

Brandt also threw the anti-war or something out of the clouds, and now it is not the German army attacking Moscow, but the Soviet Red Army attacking Warsaw! If Warsaw can't hold it, then the next Armageddon will probably be the Battle of Berlin! As a German and a social democrat, he did not in any way want to see the red flag of the Soviets flying on the roof of the Reichstag in Berlin.

However, the disparity in strength between the two sides was huge, and even though Brandt and his comrades fought bloodily and repelled several waves of Red Army charges, they still could not prevent the Soviet T-34 tanks and infantry from breaking through their first and second trenches.

Pavlov, a world revolutionary fighter, also stormed the second German trench, and his large turntable machine gun (DP-27 light machine gun) had been lost somewhere. The weapon in his hand was replaced by a bayonet-mounted Mosin-Nagant rifle, and he shouted "Ula" while charging as if he were not dying.

He had already killed the red eye, and in the previous wave of charges, the Germans relied on their powerful and accurate firepower to inflict great casualties on the attacking Soviet soldiers. Watching his comrades-in-arms fall one after another on the way to victory, Pavlov has now left all these things behind him to join the party and liberate all mankind, and his mind is full of only thinking about killing Germans and killing more Germans!

Bloody melee battles were already unfolding in the trenches, and the Germans had bayonets on their MKB-42 automatic carbines and Mauser 98 rifles. However, the Germans have not been very good at fighting bayonets, and now many soldiers have been replaced with MKB-42 automatic carbines of insufficient length, so they are even less suitable for the Russians with long rifles.

"Retreat! Retreat now! Brandt, who had just killed a Russian soldier with a rifle and trying to fight a bayonet with a short shot, finally heard the "words" he wanted to hear, and he turned his head to look over. I saw Adolf with a loud voice. Sergeant Miller shouted and waved, beckoning his men to follow and move to the reserve positions in the rear.

Brandt breathed a sigh of relief, put the MKB-42 automatic carbine on his shoulder, and ran towards the place where the lateral and longitudinal communication trenches on the left met. Just when he passed by Sergeant Miller, he was grabbed by the collar by the other party: "Killer, come with me!" ”

"Why me?" Brandt complained bitterly, but he didn't dare to escape, so he could only wait for the remaining brothers in the platoon to retreat, and then picked up the MKB-42 automatic carbine and Sergeant Miller alternately fired to cover the retreat.

The trenches, like the trenches, were dug in a zigzag way to prevent direct shell hits, and there were a number of single or double firing positions along the way, allowing Miller and Brandt to run up for a while and turn around for a few long shots.

After running for a while, they were already approaching the reserve position, and the German soldiers who had just retreated had already set up MG-42 machine guns, and with a burst of machine gun fire that seemed to tear sackcloth, the Soviet Red Army did not dare to pursue, and then it was "Ula!" Ulla! Cheers resounded in the positions they had just captured.

The reserve position was about 1,000 meters behind the reinforced concrete anti-artillery bunker where Brandt had taken refuge from Soviet shelling, and a short distance west were the buildings in the city of Warsaw. Because the reinforced concrete anti-artillery bunker has been lost, there is actually no way to hold this reserve position for long. It was just a position to cover the artillery of the 111th Division and a platoon of heavy tanks (with 5 Tiger tanks).

When Brandt arrived, some of the artillery was scrambling to pull away the 150mm and 105mm howitzers in half-tracks and trucks from the artillery positions of the 111th Division behind the trenches. Several huge Tiger tanks also started their motors, roared and turned their bodies, apparently also to withdraw to Warsaw.

It seems that the "Warsaw Forest Line" is about to be abandoned!

Brandt suddenly had a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and he then thought: The 111th Division has been fighting hard for so many days, and it should have a period of rest after retreating to Warsaw, right? Maybe I'll drive back to the German mainland, so that I can get away from this damn battlefield for a while......

……

"Great! The 205th Division took the Warsaw Forest, which is really good. ”

Standing near a crossing on the Vistula River, Rokossovsky took the telegram he had just received and laughed at Yakov beside him. Dzhugashvili said: "Now we have finally come back to a game. ”

"Is the Warsaw Forest important?" Dzhugashvili asked.

He is not a small artillery chief, and in a relatively normal army, he should be a fairly senior artillery lieutenant colonel or colonel, so he should naturally know how crucial the gains and losses of the Warsaw Forest are.

However, the current Soviet Red Army has not yet completely come out of the shadow of the Great Purge, and only then will there be a situation in which a lieutenant like Zhugashvili will become the head of the artillery of the mechanized army. Moreover, Zhugashvili is actually an engineer who builds automobiles, has only studied military affairs for 1 year, and he does not understand anything else at all, except for a little professional knowledge of artillery. And such an officer as him abounded in the current Soviet Red Army.

"Of course, the Warsaw Forest is very important." Rokossovsky shrugged and said, "Warsaw is a city built on a great plain, and there are very few dangers that can be used for defense. The Warsaw Forest is one, and it was painstakingly managed by the Poles. Another danger that could be defended was the Vistula, which had now been broken through. ”

The 9th Mechanized Corps broke through the Vistula River in the area of Otwodsk on June 9-10, and today the 205th Division broke through the Warsaw Forest. It can be said that Warsaw is now a city that is not in danger to defend, and there are more than 1 million attacking troops who are fighting in three ways. No matter how you look at it, it's all in the pocket of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army!

"But they still have armored clusters...... Dzhugashvili looked at the T-34 and KV-1/KV-2 tanks of the 9th Mechanized Corps, some of which were dragging a gun and an ammunition truck, and looked a little twisted.

"We won't have any problems," Rokossovsky said with a confident smile, "because the 9th Mechanized Corps will not give the Germans a chance, and our task now is to advance along the Vistula and build a front, push the line south of Warsaw, and then cover the infantry to attack the city." ”

With the lessons of the battle of Legionovo-Vovo, Pavlov, of course, would not have made the same mistake again and let the armored forces rush in. And there is a god in the 9th Mechanized Army who must not make mistakes!

So the route of the 9th Mechanized Corps was carefully studied - they were to march along the Vistula River, and if they met the German armored forces, they would immediately set up a battle formation with their backs to the Vistula River. On the other side of the Vistula, there would be an infantry corps with artillery in parallel so that the artillery could be deployed at any time to support the 9th Mechanized Corps.

And behind the 9th Mechanized Army, there is still the 14th Mechanized Army escorting, and if the Germans dare to fight the idea of the 9th Mechanized Army, the 14th Mechanized Army will be with the 9th Mechanized Army.

In addition, air cover and reconnaissance are also very in place, not only a large number of Yak-1 and MiG-3 cover over the 9th Mechanized Army, but also many P51s piloted by American pilots are also hovering over Comrade Zhugashvili, which can definitely make Comrade Zhugashvili eat a Russian fried rice with peace of mind.

"The Russians advanced very slowly on the southern front, as if they were fighting trench warfare...... But it's flawless! ”

At Warsaw Castle, Moder was a little confused by a huge map in front of his new headquarters.

According to the reconnaissance of the Air Force and the SS Polish cavalry, the Soviet troops on the Southern Front advanced with extraordinary care, almost step by step, not like an armored assault of the era of mechanized warfare, but like trench warfare.

The unexpected advance of the Soviet group on the southern front inadvertently disrupted the deployment of a short surprise attack by Moder, who had conceived the idea of the 5th SS "Viking" division, the Hungarian mechanized corps, and five heavily armored battalions, to launch an offensive against the Soviets on the southern route, striving for another victory in the Battle of Legiono-Vovo. However, in the current situation, it seems that this vision cannot be realized.

"Commander, maybe the Soviets just want to fight an offensive and defensive battle with us in Warsaw." Chief of Staff of the 6th Army, Artul. Major General Schmidt said, "The Soviets outnumbered us so much that even if they played a 3-to-1 exchange, Warsaw could be taken by them." ”

Moder shook his head and said, "The Soviets can't take Warsaw's ...... The Battle of Warsaw would be the beginning of the fall of the Soviet Union! He paused, "And the key to our defense of Warsaw is that Warsaw cannot be surrounded by the Soviets." Since the Soviets showed no signs of outflanking from the south for the time being, we still focused on the north. ”

"Or Legionovo?" Altu. Schmidt asked.

"Yes, it's still there!" Moder nodded, "The Vistula turns northwest there, and as long as we can repel the Soviet Northern Route Army again in Legionovo, then their encirclement of Warsaw will not be possible." As long as Warsaw is not surrounded, the 6th Army will receive a steady stream of reinforcements, and then we will be able to wear down the Soviet troops in an exchange ratio of 3 to 1 to 5 to 1.
