Chapter 203: Liberation A

After returning to his home in Moscow, after a simple shower, he did not rush to sleep, but walked into his studio. Writing &www.biquge.info Fun& Pavilion Vuginskaya knew that he was going on a long trip tomorrow, and seeing that her husband was still busy with work, she got some milk and cake so that her husband would not have a bad stomach.

Gently opening the door, I saw my husband staring at the large map of Europe on the wall, although he was just standing motionless, but Vukinskaya had the illusion that her husband was looking at an object of his own, which was not the map in front of him, but the vast Europe depicted on the map!

Seeing the tray held by his wife, Lin Jun pulled his thoughts back from the map: "Tomorrow I will go to Ukraine to get back what belongs to us." ”

"Your clothes are all sorted out for you, no matter what you want to get back, my Andre will always be right."

Usually, Lin Jun never talks about confidential things with his wife, but now the "Liberation Army" is completely a secret among secrets, and the outside world will not get any news, and Vuginskaya only learned about Lin Jun going out this afternoon. Lin Jun who can say it will tell his wife that when he doesn't say it, it is confidential, and this time he only said it is the first time in the world, Vukinskaya can feel that her husband is going to do something big that has never happened before, and that map is her husband's goal.

Before his wife walked into the room, Lin Jun had been trying to recall those hidden memories, and the entire Polish-German War was gradually clearly presented on the map:

Together with the reserves, Hitler concentrated a huge army of 1.6 million men with a total of 62 divisions, including seven tank divisions, four motorized divisions, and three mountain divisions, 2,800 tanks, 6,000 artillery pieces and mortars, and 2,000 combat aircraft.

In March of this year, Poland had formed an alliance with Britain and France, but was clearly inferior to Germany in terms of the number and equipment of its troops. Poland was able to deploy 39 infantry divisions, 11 cavalry brigades, 3 mountain infantry brigades, 2 armored motorized brigades, and about 80 civil defense battalions, adding up to about 1 million men, 220 light tanks and 650 ultralight tanks, 4,300 artillery pieces and mortars, and 407 combat aircraft.

The Poles were not ready for a big war at all, only a third of their troops were deployed on September 1, and the situation is now estimated to be even worse.

It was precisely because of Poland's alliance with Britain and France that the strategic defense planned by the Polish General Command was to stop the Germans, to buy enough time for the British and French offensive preparations, and then to act according to the form. It is a pity that although Britain and France did not want to lose the last ally that could be used in the east, Czechoslovakia, which was more suitable than Poland as an ally to contain Germany, sold them to Hitler completely, and Poland was only the second victim - the victim of appeasement and sit-down war, and the Poles would never have thought of "no war on the Western Front"!

The main force is basically along the border line, but unfortunately they have to face the German army armed with the new "blitzkrieg" idea, except for the mountainous terrain of the Eastern Carpathians on the southern front, the other national borders are completely the best training ground for the "blitzkrieg", and the 1st and 2nd mountain divisions, one of the most elite units of the German army, are about to cross the Eastern Carpathians, and the Polish troops defending this area are not at all a high-grade opponent, and the whole of Poland is like a big cake with an open package waiting for Hitler to taste.

If Britain and France had supported Czechoslovakia, the small country with a complete and powerful army-industrial system and strong fortifications surrounded by mountains would have been a complete thorn, and Hitler would have taken this hedgehog for the time being, but Britain and France missed it. As an ally, Poland was worth much less than the ruined Czechoslovakia.

If it really starts, it is a fierce attack by Britain and France on the Western Front, and it is impossible to reach Berlin from the Maginot Line within a month, and by this time Poland is finished, and Hitler will be free to deal with the western front.

In Lin Jun's view, Britain and France had already missed the last chance to contain Germany when they betrayed Czechoslovakia last year, and all because of the hostility of the bourgeoisie to communism! It was this point of view that made Lin Jun just look at Britain and France on the map: "The world can be more chaotic, and it can be rectified when it is chaotic!" ”

Now few people will believe that Germany will defeat Poland within a month, Hitler will not believe it, Stalin will not believe it, Chamberlain and Roosevelt will not believe it, even Guderian and Zhukov may not believe it, but it is enough for Lin Jun to believe it, and now only he really understands the power of the "blitzkrieg", more clearly than Guderian, who single-handedly created it.

In memory, the Poles were deployed along the northern border with the "Modlin" army group (two infantry divisions, two cavalry brigades, the commander was General Psedzimirsk-Krukovich), the "Vyśków" campaign group (3 infantry divisions) and the "Narev" campaign cluster (two infantry divisions and two cavalry brigades).

In the "Polish corridor" was the "Pomerania" army group (5 infantry divisions, one cavalry brigade, the commander was General Bortenovsky); In the western part of Poznan Province was the "Poznan" army group (4 infantry divisions, 2 cavalry brigades, commanded by General Kushetba); Army group "Lodz" (4 infantry divisions, 2 cavalry brigades, commander General Rummel) served as cover in the direction of Lodz and Warsaw.

In the area of Czesterchowa, Katowice and Krakow was assembled the "Krakow" army group (7 infantry divisions, 1 armored motorized brigade, 1 mountain infantry brigade, 1 cavalry brigade, the commander was General Shilinger).

Poland defended its southern borders by the Carpathian Army Group (2 infantry divisions, 2 mountain infantry brigades and 1 armored motorized brigade, commanded by General Fabrich).

As the second echelon, the "Prussian" army group (8 infantry divisions, 1 cavalry brigade, the commander of which was General Dombu-Bernatsky) was deployed in the Kielce, Tomaszov-Mazovetsky and Radom regions.

The Polish army was so configured from a World War I that the German army would have to spend a lot of effort and huge casualties to break through the "circle defense" built along the north, west and south of the border, but now in Lin Jun's view, the position of the Polish army group on the map is like a lamb to be slaughtered in front of the two German army groups, and a single Guderian's armored 19th Army (also known as the tank 19th army) can rampage in the Polish defense line.

"It's a pity, if Britain and France had attacked in September, Hitler would not have been so easy to deal with Poland and recuperate for more than half a year before dealing with the west, otherwise it would have hurt Germany a little." Lin Jun is a bit of a pity for the "strange war" between Britain and France, but it is not strange at all: why are the British and French troops negative? Not only did it break its promises and its own strategic interests?

It was also the political attempts of the bourgeoisie that their goal was finally achieved: Germany and the Soviet Union finally bordered on land, and the "diversion of the water from the east" was basically completed! Although the price to be paid for this purpose is a bit large: not only has it become the laughing stock of the world and synonymous with treachery, but the old imperialist power, the victor of the First World War, shakes his head and tail at his former defeated subordinates like two pleasing pugs, discarding the gentleman's division and chivalry, as long as Hitler is satisfied!

On July 4, Zhukov arrived in Moscow early in the morning, and he was in a hurry to recall Moscow without letting himself finish the affairs of the Haraha River, knowing that it must be a very important situation.

I hurriedly rushed to the State Defense Committee to find Voroshinov, who issued the order, but I didn't expect to be "kicked out" without waiting for him to report on his situation in the Haraha River:

"The Central Committee has decided to liberate Western Belarus and Western Ukraine, and this operation is codenamed Liberation March, with Comrade Andrei as the commander-in-chief of the operation, and you as the deputy commander-in-chief of the operation. Well done! Now you immediately go to the central airfield, it is estimated that Comrade Andrei is already waiting for you there, and he will tell you the specifics. ”

Voroshinov's order was like a stimulant, which lifted the spirits of Zhukov, who was exhausted from a few days of flying and a night of train travel in order to dare to have time: this is much more important than his position a few days ago - no matter how much trouble there is in the east, it is only a small fight in the border areas, but now it is to liberate the territory that was taken away by the bourgeois state 18 years ago, this is a real large-scale military operation, and for the first time since the establishment of the Soviet treaty, the bourgeoisie will be liquidated and looted and imposed on itself for the first time since the establishment of the treaty!

Xing hurried to the central airport, and in the lounge, Lin Jun was talking with Alexander, and the chief of the General Staff of the Red Army, Shaposhnikov, was also there: "We will inform you of what you just said. ”

Shaposhnikov and Alexander saw Zhukov arrive, congratulated him on his achievements at the Harakha River, and then sent them to the tarmac to board the plane.

Lin Jun briefed Zhukov on the top-secret events that had taken place in the Kremlin and the Foreign Affairs Council in the past few days on the plane, and clearly told him: "This operation will concentrate all the forces of the two military districts of Kiev and Belarus, and the authority of the operational command will be higher than that of the two military regions." After the liberation of Western Belarus and Western Ukraine, we will also march into Bessarabia, depending on the situation. The central authorities have given me the right to make a complete decision on the strategy of action, and I want you to be fully responsible for the specific operations on how to implement them, and I will not interfere. ”

Zhukov knew that his chance to show his strength had finally arrived! (To be continued.) )
