732 Stalin's assault on the workers and fighters of the XI Revolution! Forward!

In the Kremlin venue, there was a sound of standing up, and deafening applause echoed in the palace of the red tsar. Stalin, the great leader of the world revolution and dictator of the Soviet state, and Voroshilov, the supreme commander of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of the USSR, walked side by side. Everyone stood there standing straight and clapping desperately to greet them, even Marshal Tukhachevsky, known as the "red" Napoleon. It's just that Tukhachevsky's eyes have some of the usual kind of mocking "color" color, as if to say: "Comrade Stalin, your luck is really good!" The attention of those Chinese was actually attracted by Siam at this critical moment! In this way, this gamble on the future and fate of the Soviet Motherland looks like it has a little more chance of winning......"

Stalin put on a military uniform without any rank today, looked serious, and raised his hand to salute the GC generals who were applauding desperately in the hall. Then he waved his hand and asked them to sit down, and he sat in the center of the podium. Marshal Voroshilov sat next to him, and on his other side was Marshal Tukhachevsky, who arrived ahead of schedule. Stalin nodded slightly at Tukhachevsky, and then scanned the audience with a sharp gaze.

"Comrades!" Everyone's eyes turned away. Stalin spoke Russian with a Georgian accent that was difficult to hear.

"The campaign for the liberation of Poland has been decided. In the preparatory meeting a few days ago, everyone had a basic understanding of their responsibilities. Some of the opinions put forward by everyone were also summarized and revised by the Red Army High Command. Now that the plan is foolproof, it's time for us to act! As he spoke, Stalin glanced around sharply and shouted: "Senior commanders of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army! Are you ready? ”

"Ready!" Everyone replied in unison, looking confident. "Good!" Listening to the answer of his subordinates, Stalin nodded slightly, and then he waved his fist vigorously and suddenly said:

"I think everyone already knows what our Soviet Motherland is about to face. Poland, a country that emerged only after the First World War, at the instigation of the League of Nations, took advantage of the difficult moment of the rebirth of the Soviet Motherland and ceded away a large amount of our land. And now they are amassing millions of troops on the border, uniting Germany, white China, and Japan in a vain attempt to destroy us! To do this we must fight back and defend the territorial integrity of the great Soviet Fatherland with our blood and lives. Now the fighter has arrived! Fascist Germany was not ready to aid Poland in the war, and their contradictions with Poland were intensifying; White China, on the other hand, is also unprepared for war, and due to greed and lack of strategic vision, their attention has temporarily turned to Siam, which has just undergone a coup d'état!

And our most vicious enemy, the White Color, is inevitably in temporary isolation! We must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we must take risks and fire the first shot at the liberation of all mankind! Otherwise, it's all over. We must defeat the enemy and march on the corpse of the white Bolan, or we will be destroyed by the enemy's fire! Here I would like to repeat what Comrade Tukhachevsky said on the day of July 6, 1920: Revolutionary workers' fighters! Please turn your gaze to the West. In the West decided the fate of the world revolution. The road paved through the corpses of the white "Bo" Lan caused the fire of the world revolution. With our bayonets, bring peace and happiness to the working masses of the world. Towards the West! Go to the battle that determines the "sex" and achieve a great victory! ”

"Ulla! Ulla! Ulla! After listening to Comrade Stalin's speech, all the Red Army generals present could not help but shout in unison. And Stalin, seeing that his goal had been achieved, excitedly raised his arms and shouted "Ula". Tukhachevsky whispered beside him: "Comrade Stalin, we do not have to occupy Warsaw, nor can we stay in Poland for a long time, and after the defeat of the Polish-Polish army, we should immediately retreat to the Stalinist line and hold on." ”

"Not necessarily!" Stalin smiled slightly, and then whispered: "Hitler's envoy Ribbentrop has come to Moscow again, and he has proposed the latest peace proposal. We will send troops to destroy Poland, and the east bank of the Bouag River will be ours, and the west bank of the Bouag River will be under German control...... Then the USSR and Germany signed a non-aggression pact. ”

"No, that's too dangerous. In case Hitler is deceiving us, the consequences are unimaginable! Tukhachevsky saw that Stalin was eager to reach a temporary peace agreement with Hitler so that he could free up his hands against China. But Hitler was much more of a threat to the Soviet Union than China. "Hitler was always hostile to the Soviet Union, and in his book Mein Kampf he openly clamoured to seize the territory of southern China, so he would not have reached a lasting peace with us."

"However, in the Anti-GC International Agreement, the territory in the south of our country was divided into 'Poland'! Germany could only get part of Transcaucasia and Central Asia. Moreover, China, Great Britain, and France jointly fostered a Russian Empire to contain Germany...... Comrade Tukhachevsky, do you think Hitler would have been content with such conditions? Stalin smiled heavily: "Why don't he make an agreement with us for the time being, and then go back and clean up Britain and France, and let the Soviet Union fight to the death with China?" Maybe by the time he wiped out France, the Soviet Union and China would have been defeated? ”

Listening to this analysis, Tukhachevsky nodded slightly in his heart, Stalin's opinion was justified. It is true that the "Anti-GC International Pact" will not satisfy Hitler. And it must be a very cost-effective deal to let the USSR and China fight to defeat both and then attack the USSR!

Without waiting for Tukhachevsky to speak, Stalin whispered: "Of course, I also know that Hitler is completely untrustworthy, and we must have no illusions about him. Therefore, whether or not to cooperate with Germany depends on the course of the war, if the "Polish" army is stubbornly resistant, Comrade Tukhachevsky, we will take the east bank of the Bouag River, destroy the "Polish" white army there, and then retreat to the Stalinist line and hold on...... It is estimated that the "Polish" army does not have much offensive strength after being heavily damaged, and we only need to go all out to deal with the German ** team on the northern front! If the Polish-Ran army is vulnerable to the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army...... You will quickly "advance" into Warsaw, and after taking Warsaw, we will negotiate with Hitler. However, in any case, the 800,000 "Polish" army on the east bank of the Bouag River must be completely wiped out! ”

……

September 30, 1937, 3 a.m.

With a continuous and dense roar like shaking mountains, an unimaginable number of shells, dragging the dark red or orange tail flames, whizzed forward through the dark night sky, and turned the forward positions of the Soviet and Polish armies in central Belarus into a sea of fire and hell.

The Soviet Union's attack on Poland, which was called a "model of large-scale surprise attack" by later historians and military scientists, actually had no suddenness at all. Both sides have been preparing for this war for several years, all possible tactics have been deduced countless times on the sand tables and maps in their respective general staffs, all the methods and operational orders to deal with the enemy's sudden attack have been issued to every battalion commander stationed at the front, and I don't know how many times various training on "sex" has been conducted! Therefore, as soon as the powerful Soviet artillery group fired, the artillery of the "Polish" people on the opposite side began to "color" at the first time!

However, the Polishans were not mentally prepared for the density of the Soviet Red Army's artillery and troops. On a front more than 300 kilometers long in central Belarus, the "Polish" and Lanish Front of the Soviet Red Army and the Western Front, which was reorganized from the Western Special Military District, had a total of 50 strong troops! Among them, the Polish Front had 40 corps, the Western Front had 10 corps, and in addition to 15 independent artillery divisions. Therefore, there were 245 Soviet artillery regiments in Belarus! Including regimental artillery, there are more than 12,000 cannons of various calibers! Behind the front line launched by the surprise attack of the Soviet Red Army, it seems that on every flat ground suitable for artillery positions, there are rows of steel gods of war constantly spewing anger! 76.2mm regimental field guns, 122mm howitzers, and 152mm howitzers of 30 times caliber in 1903 were all over the rear of the battlefield. You can even see the huge size of the 203mm B-4 1934 203mm heavy howitzer! This heavy gun, with a tracked self-propelled gun mount, was manufactured by the Bolshevik Arsenal in Leningrad. Historically, it was finalized in 1931, and in this time and space due to the fact that the construction of heavy industry in the Soviet Union was very difficult, so the finalization of this artillery was postponed to 1934. However, the power of this artillery has not diminished in the slightest!

In fact, although the current Soviet Red Army is far from history in terms of air force and armored forces, its artillery, infantry, and cavalry combat effectiveness has increased considerably compared to history due to the absence of the Great Purge! Now the "elite" of the offensive forces of the entire Soviet Red Army is concentrated on this 300-kilometer-long front, ready to use all its might to crush all the bourgeois enemies who dare to stand in their way!

In contrast to such a powerful red "color" army, the "Polish" troops stationed in western Belarus consisted of only eight infantry corps, three cavalry corps, and one armored cavalry brigade, more than 1,200 artillery pieces, and more than 1,100 tanks and armored vehicles. And the huge numerical gap has become the fatal weakness of the "Polish" army at this moment!

The "Wave" artillery, which was only one-tenth of the opponent's number, was suppressed by the opponent a few minutes after firing, and only countless red "color" rays could be seen in the sky from the east, blooming large and small orange "color" fireballs on the entire "Wave" army front, and the smoke and dust "mixed" with the firelight only rushed into the night sky, completely obscuring the bright moonlight and starlight! The Soviet artillery's "shooting" technology, catalyzed by the six-year war in the Far East, has also reached the point of being as pure as fire. The mortars on the front line "fired" at the enemy's trenches, and the 76.2mm field guns at the regimental and divisional levels swept the barbed wire and minefields on the front line of the "Polish" army. The powerful heavy artillery group composed of 122mm howitzers and 152mm howitzers attached to the divisional and corps artillery regiments fired at the depth of the "Polish" people and suppressed the opponent's artillery counterattack. The larger B-4 203mm heavy howitzers fired at the permanent fortifications of the Polish, and the explosions they caused were like the sky was falling apart. Those fortifications built with reinforced concrete. Under this power, it's like papier-mâché. As soon as it was hit, it exploded into smithereens. Seeing such a fierce shelling, the Bolshevik infantry, who had been waiting for the attack, sighed softly, and it seemed that the white-colored and Polish officers and soldiers on the opposite position would have a hard time surviving. Soon you will be able to step on their corpses and ignite the raging fire of the world revolution!

But these heroic Bolsheviks did underestimate the stubborn endurance of the bourgeois enemy. Although the current battlefield is a complete hell for the Persians. But under such ferocious firepower, they still endured bitterly in the "holes" of the cannons. Wait for the enemy's shelling to end, and then use your rudimentary rifles and machine guns to resist the Soviet Red Army, armed to the teeth. The Polishes may not be rational or serious enough, but they do not lack the courage to sacrifice and the tenacious spirit in their blood!

……

Just when the heroic and tenacious white "colored" "Polish" Lan soldiers were huddled in the trembling anti-artillery "holes", enduring the hellish shelling. Countless officers of the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, from the commander of the Polish Front at the top, General Ubolevich, to the second lieutenant platoon commanders at the bottom. They all watched nervously as the clock approached the time when the infantry was scheduled to attack. At that time, the "tide" of infantry of the Red Army, numbering in units of 10,000, will drown the positions of the "Polish" army on the opposite side, opening the way for the subsequent five tank armies to advance! This is the greatest manifestation of the tactical power of the Soviet Union's large-depth offensive! Concentrate as many troops and firepower as possible in the main assault position, use a sea of men and fire to tear a gap in the weak point of the enemy's position, and then a rapid force of tanks, cavalry, and motorized infantry "insert" behind the enemy from the gap, turn the enemy's rear upside down, and then divide and surround them...... If this "wave" deep assault is victorious, then the two "wave" Lan clusters east of the Bouag River, with an army of nearly 800,000, will be quickly wiped out! And the Soviet Red Army will take advantage of the victory to pursue and fight all the way to Warsaw, the heart of "Poland"! Tear this ungrateful white "color" "Bo" Lan to shreds!

(According to the GCD's view of history, Poland's independence after World War I was due to the Bolsheviks' sense of justice!) It was they who, after the defeat of Germany, announced the abrogation of the Brest Treaty, which ceded Poland, and at the same time granted Poland an independent status! ）

The time finally came to 4:30 a.m. on September 30, 1937. The one-and-a-half-hour-long continuous shelling finally came to an abrupt end. Almost at the same time, General Neuborevich, the joint command of the "Polish" and Western Fronts in Minsk, turned his head, glanced at Kirov, the political commissar of the Front, and saw that the other party nodded slightly, and then he waved his hand vigorously. "Attack! Goal Warsaw! To avenge the comrades who died in 1920! ”

This order was transmitted to all corners of the entire battle line by electric "waves", and countless junior officers jumped into the trenches, braving the artillery fire of the "Polish" Lan people to fight at the top of the trenches. The fire that erupted on the battlefield illuminated every resolute face red. "Revolutionary workers' fighters! Forward! Forward! ...... forward," with a cry that seemed to exhaust all his strength. A total of 15 front-line attacking forces of the infantry divisions of the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army poured out of the trenches one after another, braving all kinds of bullets and ammunition from the positions of the "Polish" Lans, forming a "wave" and "wave" straggler line, shouting "Ula! Ulla! Rush forward!

The firepower that greeted them was not very fierce. There were some sporadic machine guns in the smoke and dust, and in some of the remaining permanent fortifications, there were groups of Maxim machine guns arranged in a fan. The attacking team quickly suffered casualties under the oncoming fire of the "Polish" army, but the Red Army soldiers did not slow down the pace of their advance, and pressed through the Soviet-"Polish" border line at the speed of the deployment and pressed towards the opposite "Polish" army's position.

At this time, the positions of the "Polish" Lans were also busy with "chaos", and the "Polish" Lans poured out of the remaining anti-artillery "holes" and set up machine guns and rifles one after another in the trenches that had been almost flattened, as well as various artillery and mortars attached to the battalion and regiment levels. But those Soviet Red Army soldiers didn't seem to care about their "life" at all, but only "blinded" their heads: "Ula! Ulla! "Ground with guns in hand, charge forward like a madman! The barbed wire fence and minefield have been swept away by artillery fire, and the distance of more than 100 meters cannot stop the 100,000 Russian bayonets rushing forward with a roar...... After all, the front-line strength of the Polishans was weakened by artillery fire. Although they were still barely holding out to resist, the huge disparity in strength and firepower still determined that they did not have the strength to repel the rolling Red Army attacking forces......

At the northern and southern ends of Belarus, on the key assault areas of the Soviet Red Army, the defense of Poland collapsed in the first Soviet offensive of the "Wave". By the time the sun was slowly setting on September 30, 1937, two fatal gaps of about 30 kilometers each appeared in the defense line of the "Polish" army. Endless teams of tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, and cavalry are pouring into the rear of the "Polish" army from these two gaps!
