Chapter 236: Street Fighting in Warsaw (Part I)

Would we rather be reduced to a pile of skeletons than fight to the end!?This is our immortal spirit!?Enough to make the enemy kneel at our feet and cry,?We have no way out? Only offense! Offensive! On the offensive! …… The spirit of the Führer has always encouraged us, and the fighting spirit never dies? This immortal belief sustains the blood of the empire? Supporting the mighty fighting power of the Imperial Legion? The road ahead is still difficult? Warriors don't retreat? Are the people of the Motherland watching us? The Great Führer is praying for us?

Forward!?Forward!?

Bayonets tear through this ugly world!?

The day the storm stopped? That's when we win!??

The air is filled with tension,

The big war is coming, tears are running across the mother's face, and the motherland is behind her.?

The footsteps of the enemy could be heard in the distance, and the earth was trembling.

It's time to defend justice, and the blood is already surging.?

The last leaf on the dry branch was knocked off by the cold wind,?

Lightning tore through the heavy black curtain in the distance,

Look—it's the 1st Panzer Corps of the 7th Light Armored Division advancing. ”

At this time, Warsaw, the capital of Poland, in fact, there was no regular army in defense, Poland deployed all its main forces in the border areas, and there were only some guards and militias in the capital, originally there were more than 200,000 militias in the Polish capital, but because the president fled, these more than 200,000 militiamen almost fled with them, and the remaining two or three layers were thankful, and those guard troops of course had to evacuate with the president. This resulted in an extreme emptiness in the defenses of the Polish capital.

Li Mo centered on the tank assault group. Tactical arrangements were carried out, which meant that all of Li Mo's firepower and forces would be matched with the tank assault group commanded by Bismarck, who was the assault hammer of the entire 15th Mechanized Corps.

"Offensive ......"

Bismarck is still very handsome, and the brown head flower, because of the long-term bathing in the sun, has turned the originally fair skin into a wheat color, but it can show the majesty and masculinity of the soldiers.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock ......"

Suddenly, the tanks roared and sped away towards their respective targets, followed closely by the armor and direct-fire artillery behind them. Everywhere the tanks and armor went, there was dust obscuring the sky.

Here's what Bismarck's tactical arrangement looks like. One hundred and fifty-two tanks, divided into five lines by the British smarck, with thirty tanks each, attacked from five adjacent junctions east of Warsaw. The advantage of this is to maximize the deployment of the maximum number of troops on the front line. The downside is that the attack surface is much larger. It is important to know that all the offensives of the "7th Light Armored Division" had to be done independently. It is impossible for Admiral Reichenau to give them a single soldier to support, and Admiral Reichenau now has two infantry divisions to deal with, but there are three Polish divisions, but more than 100,000 follow-up troops of the Polish army have not yet arrived. Poland, which did not have air supremacy, wanted to come to reinforcements with a swagger, but the German air force would not agree.

Li Mo would never interfere with the tactical arrangement of the front-line commander, since Bismarck was the commander of the first-line line, what Li Mo had to do was to fully support the success of Bismarck's tactical arrangement.

The attack on Warsaw did not have the large-scale air support of the air force, because Catherine could only draw one aviation division to support the 15th Mechanized Army, and the strength of one aviation division had to annihilate a Polish infantry division in the air and delay the prevention of three divisions, so to speak, the pilots of this aviation division would soar in the sky the rest of the time except for refueling and reloading. It was impossible for a plane to be sent.

As soon as Bismarck's tanks departed, the artillery of the "7th Light Armored Division" began to roar, and their direct target was the section of the city that Bismarck was about to attack, and the shells of 105 mm, 88 mm, and 75 mm cannons fell on the city of Warsaw.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The east side of Warsaw was filled with smoke in an instant, countless buildings collapsed in the explosion, the artillery fire was unprecedentedly fierce, and countless building materials were carried up into the air by the explosion, and then fell down one after another, before they landed, and soon they were carried higher by the next explosion.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Knock knock ......"

The tank slowly drove to the edge of the city of Warsaw, and at about 500 meters, Bismarck used a walkie-talkie to inform the artillery to stop firing, you must know that Warsaw City was a large city in Europe at that time, with a population of more than 1.5 million people, and the city area was more than 100 square kilometers, and hundreds of thousands of tons of shells could blow Warsaw City into ruins, so Bismarck did not let the "7th Light Armored Division" continue to waste shells, you must know that now all the supplies of the 15th Mechanized Army are more than 1,000 trucks, each truck is 5 tons, It can also bring 8,000 tons of materials, and it can be said that each of these strategic materials is a major event related to life and death.

"Attack slowly, speed 20 per hour, all the soldiers who coordinated support got out of the car, and the armored vehicle support distance was three hundred meters."

After giving the order in high spirits, Bismarck retracted his body back into Tank Four and closed the window door on the top of the tank.

"Woo...... Bang...... Knock knock ......"

Tank No. 4 roared in a low voice, its huge body slowly rolling over the streets of Warsaw, Bismarck's No. 4 tank was in the first combat position, because he was now the boss, and Li Mo would never allow it if he knew.

Tank No. 4 drove slowly into the streets of Warsaw, which were covered with broken bricks and broken door frames and furniture, the fruits of the shelling, and only a few militiamen who had been killed by the shelling could only be seen occasionally, except for a red cloth sleeve on their arm, an old-fashioned rifle with a few grenades at their waists, and that was all the militia was armed.

Bismarck continued to slow down, basically keeping at a speed that the infantry could keep up, about 5 kilometers per hour, of course the tank could not be so slow, Bismarck told the tank to advance a distance of twenty to thirty meters, and then stopped, while waiting for the infantry behind, while the armored vehicles were three hundred meters away to support, they could only use MG42 machine guns to shoot at the enemy high on both sides of the street.

After advancing for about three hundred meters, Bismarck did not meet a single enemy, and for the first time Bismarck commanded the tank division in street fighting, not daring to be careless, and ordered a part of the infantry following the tank to divide into four groups, one group was specifically responsible for attacking the left side of the street, the second group was responsible for attacking the right side of the street, three groups followed the tanks, and the fourth group was used as a reserve, and there was danger to go to support there.

Groups 1 and 2 carried a large number of "iron fists", grenades and flamethrowers, and the main task of these two groups was to clear the Polish troops on both sides of the street.

"Dada...... Da Da ......"

Suddenly, a Czech light machine gun suddenly appeared two hundred meters to the right, firing rhythmically, and a soldier of the 7th Light Armored Division was shot in the head at that time because he raised his head too high, and half of his head was cut off by the Czech light machine gun. Others hide behind the windowsill, how can they shoot the enemy.

The Polish soldier quickly ran out of bullets from his machine gun and was about to run away with his Czech light machine gun.

"Boom ......" (To be continued......
