Chapter 249: The General Trend Has Been Decided (Medium)

These Polish reservists were able to hold out until they were divided and encircled before surrendering, and they did not take the opportunity to flee during the chaos of Warsaw, but chose to stay and hold on to their capital, and in this respect, they are worthy of heroes. When the Germans approached Warsaw and began to attack it fiercely, they also chose to stay and hold out.

The Germans began to use the old-fashioned infantry and tans to attack together, and it can be seen from their fierce resistance that these Poles were still very resolute in their patriotic hearts, and they did not surrender until these Polish reserves were completely divided and surrounded, completely lost contact and supplies, and they had fulfilled their obligations to the country, they were well-deserved heroes, and they should have heroic courtesy for heroes.

Li Mo also did the same, in the treatment of prisoners, Li Long and Meier and Li Mo have similarities, Li Mo knew that in later generations, because of the German mistreatment of prisoners caused a very bad impact, but also caused the determination of the enemy soldiers to resist desperately, if the victorious side can treat them well, then Li Mo will benefit a lot in the future, of course, it will not be seen in a short time, but the effect will be quickly revealed. This characteristic of Li Mo is typical chivalry.

The eastern half of Warsaw was all cleared in the afternoon of the same day, and Limer and Rommel had already moved their headquarters into the Polish presidential palace, because the Polish commander-in-chief Auguste was captured by the Germans, and August, who was originally unwilling to surrender, finally decided to accept Limer's suggestion after Limer's polite reception and goodwill conversation:

"Warsaw is a historical city, and it cannot be destroyed in the war, and those Polish reservists who are still holding out in the eastern half of Warsaw. They have fulfilled the mission entrusted to them by the state, and it is time to end the war, and Warsaw cannot and should continue to shed blood. ”

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Auguste ordered the surrender of the reserves in the western half of Warsaw, and the city of Warsaw, in front of the German 15th Mechanized Corps, fell in one day, a miracle in the history of warfare, and conquered the enemy capital in one day.

Of course, the reasons for the fall of Warsaw, Poland, were manifold

The external reasons for the fall of Warsaw, which caught the Polish army off guard due to a surprise attack by the Germans, were the internal reasons for its rapid fall. After the outbreak of the German-Polish War. Britain and France were slow to declare war on Germany, but after the declaration of war, they did not actively participate in the war, and adopted negative measures, such as "sit-down war". Sit back and watch Poland fall. The Anglo-French forces did not provide Poland with the help of even a single soldier. Now there is a secret treaty with Germany, and Britain and France will not shed blood and sacrifice for Poland, which pins the safety of its country on imperialism. This is no different from looking for death, this is at the strategic level.

And the tactical level is that Marshal Luo Ci's troop deployment has a big problem, Marshal Luo Ci's thinking is still stuck in the First World War, the troops are evenly arranged on the national border, as a result, the German army's steel torrent ran over, and then there was a situation where the German First Mechanized Army approached the Polish capital in one day, it can be said that Poland's passive situation is largely the responsibility of Marshal Luo Ci, if Marshal Luo Ci commanded correctly, Poland would have no problem resisting for a few months, at least there would not be a situation where the capital seemed to be taken in one day, It's really an incompetent, exhausting the three armies.

On September 10, 1939, arguably the most thrilling day, Limer and Hitler made the right bet, and took the Polish capital in one fell swoop with extraordinary courage, completely crushing the counterattack of 300,000 Polish troops, and blocking all the hope of these Polish troops retreating into Warsaw. It seems that the fall of Poland was only a matter of time.

The combat strength of the German army has completely shocked the whole world, and all the newspapers and magazines are discussing why Germany has such a strong fighting force, and the United States is the one who pays the most attention. Of course, Germany's huge combat power also completely suppressed the British and French forces, trembling in the fortress on the Maginot Line, not daring to take a single step.

……

German Ministry of Defense:

All the senior executives of the German army were gathered, and so many high-ranking generals were of course in an operational meeting, which was presided over by Field Marshal Keitel, who was the commander-in-chief of the Battle of Warsaw.

There are two topics on the agenda of the German Ministry of Defense today, the first of which is about the arrangements for the follow-up battles of the Polish campaign, because the situation of the war has changed dramatically, and the previous battle plan is no longer suitable for the present use, and everyone must discuss a new war plan.

Because the Soviet Union had already sent troops, in order to take the territory agreed with the Soviet Union, the German army had to speed up the pace of the offensive and annihilate the Polish troops that were still resisting with lightning speed.

"Everyone is talking about their opinions, we are coming up with a few suitable opinions to discuss, and after they are adopted, we will formulate a strategic plan according to the adopted opinions, and now we will start to raise our hands and speak."

Keitel, who had been in the position for a long time, finished speaking very calmly, and then motioned to the general marshal below to raise his hand and speak:

"Let me say a few words" As soon as Keitel's words fell, the chicken farmer, the general leader of the SS, jumped out first, and he didn't know why Himmler was so arrogant, for fear that others would not know him and ignore him, you must know that Himmler was a very careful person in front of Hitler, and as soon as Himmler arrived in front of the Wehrmacht, he became very arrogant, like an aggressive rooster, and really did not insult his nickname - chicken farm owner, "the fighting chicken of roosters".

"Marshals, generals, before studying the strategic plan, I would like to raise a question for everyone to discuss, as you know, the SS has now grown to almost 100,000 people, but your Wehrmacht is fighting bloodily for Germany on the battlefield, but our Guards, as the armed forces of Germany, should also do their part for Germany, so I propose to form the 1st SS Panzer Army."

Himmler opened his mouth widely, and before the battle was over, he began to shout for the formation of the SS Panzer Corps, you must know that the German Panzer Corps is composed of three Panzer Divisions, and the equipment of one Panzer Division is worth more than 100 tons of gold, and Germany's military budget has been prepared, and the army, navy and air force are waiting for these budgets to expand the troops! What does it mean that you, the "chicken farmer", suddenly plugged in such a shot, didn't Himmler take the life of the Wehrmacht? If Himmler's appetite never ends, it will have a huge impact on the development of the German army, navy, and air force.

Is it really a brainless idiot for Himmler to open his mouth? Is Himmler so instigating the struggle between the four armies of the German Army, Navy and Air Force a stupid pig?

Wrong, Himmler is a cunning rooster, definitely not a stupid "fighting chicken among roosters", Himmler can have such an achievement today, it is no accident, if there is no political skill, there would be no scum left in the pit, but why did Himmler do this? Himmler's intention in doing so was great, and it can be said that the intention was profound.
