Chapter 259: The Libo War
Thundered!
For the people of the small town of Goudap, October 8, 1921 is a day to remember, because it was the day when the great king of Eastern Europe, Ernst Bush. His Majesty the Emperor Franz liberated the citizens of the city, and the citizens who had lived in the small town of Goudap from that day onwards lived a stable life. Of course, all this was a wake-up call a few years later, and the inhabitants of the town may have only been afraid and panicked, after all, for them the attacking side outside is the identity of the invaders.
The Polish army was not vulnerable after several wars, and the two tank brigades did not achieve an overwhelming advantage, not only that, but even more than a dozen tanks were severely damaged, and it was obvious that they had no strength to fight again.
Standing on the high post, Ernst looked at the battle in the distance and asked with great interest: "There is a huge disparity in the equipment strength of the two sides, but it is indeed rare for the Polish army to be able to fight like this under such circumstances, who is the general of the other side?" ”
"Donard. Borushevich, commander of the 8th Army Division of the Polish 2nd Army, with the rank of Major General! ”
After all, it was a two-sided battle, and the generals of the Kingdom of Lithuania knew very well about the enemy's intelligence, even if Ernst was only followed by a general of the Ministry of Defense, and even if he rarely came to the front.
"Donard. Borusevic. After reciting the name twice in his heart, Ernst suddenly smiled and said: "Keep him, the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom needs a large number of capable generals and officials, which would be difficult for Lithuania to do alone." ”
The generals and officials who followed the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom were stunned, they had not heard that Ernst was going to establish a dual monarchy, and that it would not do the Lithuanian kingdom any benefit if it did. What they wanted was to annex Poland and not give Poland an extra king.
The expressions of the people behind him were all in Ernst's eyes. He didn't bother to explain, though. And there is no need to explain, after all, the country belongs to him and these people are just migrant workers, when does the owner need to explain to his employees what he is about to do?
"Your Majesty...... Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do that? ”
Who is not clear about Ernst's character? Therefore, the official spoke very submissively, and although the other officials were unhappy with his caution, they could understand it. Ernst wasn't a tyrant, but some tyrants would do something Ernst did just as cleanly.
"Are you...... Ask me? ”
It was just a casual remark, but it frightened the official who spoke, and he took two steps back and did not dare to speak again, and although the other officials despised his timidity, no one came forward to talk about the relevant topic. The attitude of the military on this matter is very clear, it does not matter.
In fact, the attitude of the military is also very normal, after all, the government is the government of the cabinet and the army is the army of the royal family, and for politicians there is a big difference between the Kingdom of Lithuania and the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom, first of all, there is no benefit in the slightest in terms of population and land, and it is estimated that a large number of economic projects in Poland will be supported. And the military, after all, is obedient to Ernst. King Franz's orders have nothing to do with which country he is. This is the main reason why the military in the Quad alliance tends to cooperate very well, while the government often has contradictions.
Tanks cover the army, and fighters harass the opposing positions on it. It was standard offensive formations, if not to reduce the destruction of the city. It is estimated that at this time, hundreds of large-caliber artillery pieces have already bombarded the enemy's position.
In the Polish trenches, the logistics staff were busy running around, and from time to time a soldier was carried down for treatment, although their strength was superior, but the opponent's firepower was too fierce, although the tank did not fire much, but the machine gun on the tank shot too many of their comrades, if it were not for their division commander also standing here, it is estimated that the position would have collapsed.
A hidden place, Donard. Borosevich stood there looking at the battlefield in front of him and couldn't help but sigh faintly, and the second lieutenant guard next to him asked with some puzzlement: "Your Excellency Major General, should we retreat......
"Retreat? Heh, where to retreat? This war will last for half a month at most, and after half a month there will be no Poland, only the Kingdom of Lithuania, and the king of Ernst will become the master here. ”
Shake your head Donard. There was no glimmer of hope in Borusevich's words, but this was the strange thing about the second lieutenant, so why not surrender? He knows very well that the character of his own general is by no means the kind that will not surrender to death, so what is he waiting for?
As if to know the thoughts of the guards around him, Donald. Borushevich looked at him and smiled: "I am proving my ability to His Majesty the King Ernst, although it will isolate me from the military of the Kingdom of Lithuania in the future, but at the same time I will be able to gain the appreciation of His Majesty the King." ”
"This ......"
The second lieutenant guard did not know how to evaluate Donard at this time. Borusevich, it's a pity that he doesn't understand Han culture, otherwise he can say the very appropriate sentence that he will eventually become ten thousand bones.
The tanks crushed the bodies of many Polish soldiers, some of whom were only 18 or 9 years old, but the brainwashing of those politicians made them stand up without hesitation, how did they know the cruelty of war? How do they know that they are nothing more than a pawn, a pawn for politicians to get more benefits.
The world is a chessboard, and I am a deer chaser!
In fact, this is the goal of most politicians, but often many chess players unknowingly become other people's pawns, even if it is an important chess piece, but the fact that a chess piece is a chess piece cannot be changed.
Ernst was the same, so he did not feel any discomfort when he saw the tragedy below, and his eyes looked through the battlefield, through Goudap and directly at Warsaw, and of course farther away, but now Ernst could only see Warsaw.
After all, the flesh and blood of the soldiers can't stop such a steel behemoth, they also have tanks, but compared to the tanks of the Czech principality, their tanks are crispy chickens, and once tanks appear, the tank brigades of the Kingdom of Lithuania will also start to reactivate the cannons on the tanks, compared to them might as well not use them.
The machine guns on the position are rapidly consuming ammunition, but these bullets have no effect on the tank, and the army soldiers behind the tank? Unless it's a stroke of luck, it's pretty good to be able to hit three Lithuanian soldiers with a single bullet.
The Royal Lithuanian Army has specialized snipers, and their purpose is officers and machine gunners, for example, this machine gun that was still suppressing fire just now, the machine gunner who was still there just now has been replaced, and this one is already the 32nd machine gunner, and this machine gun has killed less than 18 enemies in total, which is the main reason why Poland can't stop it.
"Your Excellency General, the 158th Regiment hopes to be able to withdraw from the battlefield!"
"Withdraw from the battlefield? Where did he retreat? Goudap or Warsaw? If you can't stop it, you will surrender directly, this is my original words, you tell them directly. ”
It's not Donard. Borusevic's angry words are the truth, because there is no need to fight at all, the two sides are not at the same level at all, especially since he is the main target of the other party's breakthrough.
The ensign guard didn't ask any more questions, he already understood Donald just now. Borushevich's attitude, surrender at this time was naturally expected. His speed was fast, because he knew that a second faster might be able to save two or three lives, and the era of thermal weapons was so cruel, and war was like a big grinding wheel, leaving tens of thousands of lives in it.
At the same time at the front, when Donard. When Bolusevich's order was given, the officers were collectively stunned, they did not know that Donald . Whether Borushevich was angry or really allowed them to surrender, but then the second lieutenant and guard spoke his opinion, and it was already clear.
Back to Donard. Borushevich's side, without waiting for the second lieutenant guard to speak, Donard. Borusevich said: "Did you convey my meaning to them? ”
The guard was about to convey it, but then he found out that Donald. Borusevich didn't say what he said but what he meant, and suddenly the guards began to be a little overwhelmed, the general in front of him was not a soft-hearted person, would he ruin the general's plan......
Angry Donard in Worry. Borusevich did not appear, he smiled lightly and said: "I know your character very well, and this is why I asked you to convey it, don't worry, life will be good in the future." ”
After saying this, Donard. Borusevich smiled and prepared to leave, and when he saw this scene, the second lieutenant guard was very stupid and asked: "General, where are you going?" ”
"Haha, surrender!"
Poland's border army was not as stubborn as expected, and they quickly chose to surrender, but by this time the 15,000-strong Eighth Army Division of the Second Army had already suffered more than a quarter of its casualties, and the firepower of the Kingdom of Lithuania was beyond imagination.
Donard. Borushevich was naturally part of the surrender, but he was very optimistic compared to other officers, which puzzled many Polish officers and attracted Ernst's idea, who wanted to meet him after he was ready to enter the city, and couldn't help but arrange an interview on the battlefield.
"Major General Donard, commander of the 8th Army Division of the Polish Second Army. Borushevich met the great Ernst. His Majesty King Franz. ”
Donard at this time. Borusevich didn't have the smile he had just faced, he introduced himself very formally, and then gave in tactfully to Ernst.
"Why did you choose to surrender?"
"It was a bad decision to stand up for what you believe in the face of a powerful enemy, and it ...... A change of ruler in Poland may not be a bad thing. (To be continued.) )
