"Dada...... Boom...... Sudden ...... Puff puff puff ......"
"Kill! …… For the Motherland...... Fight with the invaders! ……”
The sound of guns and cannons, shouts and killings are intertwined on the entire battlefield, the bravery of the Polish army can not save their fate of defeat, the spirit of sacrifice and ** can not stop the steel torrent of the SS, but the desperate resistance of the Polish army also temporarily dragged the SS tank assault group, which made the Polish army retreat along the trench a few kilometers away from the third to the defensive line, of course, this is a good thing for the SS, the retreat of the Polish army at this time is a good thing, now is not the time for the SS to annihilate the Polish army in large numbers, completely breaking through the defense line of the Polish army is the key, At the same time, expand the breakthrough and escort its own huge transport fleet through the breakthrough.
The task of expanding the breakthrough is the task of the "skeleton division" and the "Reich division", and these two SS divisions must at least expand the breakthrough to about 30 kilometers, so as to ensure that the transport convoy is not attacked by the Polish artillery, of course, the air force can also help to clear the Polish artillery on both flanks, and the advantage of the SS tank units with air supremacy is unparalleled.
Wittmann and Vincent's tank assault group let go of the speed and raced on the Polish plains, while Hausser and Ike could only play the role of "nanny", which made Hausser and Ike shout "unfair", but in this case, it is impossible to make tactical adjustments, so it can only be arranged in this way, and Rommel can only adjust when he arrives under the Polish capital Warsaw.
At this time, Rommel was also beginning to relocate his "former enemy command post", and there was a "long queue" of more than 3,000 cars on the road. Of course, this "former enemy command post" must follow the main forces, at least within more than 100 kilometers.
Rommel had already arranged for Wittmann to stop at a distance of about fifty kilometers from Warsaw, set up a cordon position, wait for the follow-up troops, and then establish a consolidated annular defensive position, with a diameter of no less than fifty kilometers, so as to ensure that the transport vehicles in the circular defensive position would not be hit by Polish artillery, and the artillery at this time was basically less than 20 kilometers, and a circular defensive position with a diameter of fifty kilometers was sufficient.
The question is how many people Rommel has, 4 tank divisions, less than 50,000 people, this is the offensive force, at most one Prinz Eugen division is used to assist in the defense of the supplementary division. The supplementary division plus Prince Eugen is only more than 30,000 people, how can it be possible to build a circular defensive position with a diameter of 50 kilometers, it seems impossible, but Rommel has a way!
Rommel directly divided the supplementary division into squads or platoon combat groups, 10 kilometers in front of the annular defensive position, with a diameter of 70 kilometers, where these squad and platoon combat groups dug a small defensive position, and then held there, every 300 meters there was such a combat group, these combat groups were actually equivalent to the function of a post, as long as they found the enemy, they would use gunfire or walkie-talkies to notify the command.
After arranging the alert troops, Rommel arranged the mobile forces, and the tanks of Prince Eugen's division were all rebuilt at this time, and they would be divided into three tank mobile regiments, each regiment would be equipped with 50 copycat Type 99 tanks and an equal number of armored vehicles, and finally a hundred large trucks carrying soldiers and various materials, towing dozens of guns of various calibers, such a regiment could already be called a tactical mobile regiment.
After talking about the arrangement of infantry and armored troops, it is not over, and such a defensive line is not completely stable, Rommel also asked Zhang Jun to send more than 200 planes of half an aviation division to the defensive circle, Rommel will urgently build a field airfield, this field airfield, Zhang Jun has long arranged, that is, to produce 5 * 10 meters thick 2 mm steel plates, with a large truck to pull, a 10-ton truck can pull 50 such steel plates, 100 steel plates can build a field airfield, Twenty trucks were needed to carry the steel plates needed for the field airfield, and Rommel brought 50 truckloads of steel plates, enough to build two field airfields.
It is also very convenient to build a field airport, first use the push-out machine to bulldoze the ground, press it with a road roller, and then pave the steel plate, link it with rivets, it is very simple and fast, and the apron does not need a steel plate, after bulldozing, you can stop the plane with a roller, the dirt runway is mainly unable to withstand the impact of the aircraft landing and sink, it is easy to destroy the machine, there is no problem with the paving of the steel plate, there is no need to lay the steel plate on the apron, and the soil rolled by the road roller, There are no problems at all withstanding these aircraft.
Zhang Jun received Rommel's telegram in the military headquarters, and after reading Rommel's telegram and the design of the ring defensive position, Zhang Jun had to sigh at Rommel's talent on this side, of course, Zhang Jun did not immediately agree with Rommel's suggestion, but came independently in front of the big sand table, let the combat staff draw a big circle on the sand table, and began to analyze the possible problems of this big circle.
Zhang Jun's entire transport convoy now has 3,000 cars, such a huge transport convoy, must establish a solid rear base for them, can not let the enemy break through or sneak attack, and the SS has 4 main armored divisions and a supplementary division, this point of strength has to attack, and to defend such a large circular position, in this case, only Rommel's plan is feasible, the periphery is small-scale vigilance, the middle is arranged with mobile armored forces, and the auxiliary air force can completely ensure the safety of this circular defensive position. In this way, the entire combat material of the SS would be safe.
Since there was no problem, Zhang Jun quickly agreed with Rommel's opinion, but instead of half an aviation division, more than 400 planes of the entire aviation division were dispatched. Of course, it was to go to the circular defensive position, as soon as Zhang Jun agreed with Rommel's plan, all the forces of the entire SS First Panzer Army were in the circular defensive position, if something happened in the annular position, it meant that the entire SS First Panzer Army was also facing annihilation, could Zhang Jun stay in the rear with peace of mind? The answer, of course, is no.
A general is supposed to fight with his own soldiers, of course, not to let the general take a submachine gun to the front line, that is not the position where the general should stay. Zhang Jun's army command post also has forty FA223 transport helicopters, there is no problem at all in transporting this army command post, and when it comes to the ring defense position, these transport planes are also part of the mobile force, and these helicopters can't be loaded with artillery, but it is still okay to load two people and bring two MG42s, the lower tank, the upper helicopter is equipped with machine guns, and now in this era, there is that unit as its opponent, of course, the FA223 can only act on its own tank, Otherwise, the enemy's machine gun will be beaten down, because the FA223 has no armor protection at all, and it will be destroyed immediately after being hit in the engine and fuel tank.
The steel frenzy carried the rolling traffic and kicked up the dust in the sky, like a dragon, straight to the heart of Poland.
At this time, the other fronts of Poland were also retreating, but not as fierce as the SS, the German SS broke through the Polish defense line continuously, and soon the troops came to Warsaw, this situation was also reported to the Polish General Headquarters, the supreme commander was Field Marshal Smigway-Lodz also panicked, Germany used strong air power at the beginning of the war, destroyed most of Poland's air force, so that Poland completely lost air supremacy, so that their troops were facing the bombing of German aircraft at any time, As the commander-in-chief of the Polish army, Luo Ci was also helpless, and the ambassadors sent to Britain and France were turned away from meeting the leaders of Britain and France in succession, and then politely added:
"The Prime Minister or the President is in a meeting to study the Polish issue, please go back and wait for news."
Poland would never have imagined that Britain and France had betrayed them, or they could be said to have abandoned them, or even that Britain and France had used Poland as a bargaining chip to achieve an ulterior dirty deed. Even if Hitler did not reach a secret agreement with Britain and France, the historical Britain and France did not send a single soldier to attack Poland in Germany, and the Maginot Line arranged 110 Anglo-French allied divisions did not move a single step, which kind of ally is this, the alliance treaty between Britain and France and Poland is worse than the paper that wipes the ass, imperialism can only think about its own hegemony, how can it be sacrificed and shed blood for Poland, that can only be whimsical.
There was no news of the reinforcements, so they had to rely on themselves, and Commander-in-Chief Rotz hurriedly picked up the phone to report the latest situation to President Władysław Rachikijevic.
"Mr. President, I am Luo Ci, and now I have very unfortunate news to report to you."
"Oh, it's Marshal Luo Ci! Marshal Roci is not your fault, I know that we are losing on all fronts, it is not your responsibility, you and your soldiers are brave and respectable in the face of the aggressor, armed to the teeth, my marshal, do not be discouraged, the whole people of Poland will support you. ”
The Polish president is still a very tolerant person, and he can also understand that it is indeed not easy for his soldiers to fight a bloody battle with the advanced German armored forces, as a president, in addition to mobilizing all the forces that can be mobilized to support the front line and meet the various requirements of the commander-in-chief, there is really no other way, since the commander-in-chief personally called, indicating that the situation on the front is already very bad, but the Polish president is mentally prepared.
The president's words brought tears to the eyes of Luo Ci, the commander-in-chief, and he whimpered and said a shocking news:
"Dear Mr. President, I feel extremely guilty for my incompetence, but I cannot hide from you the true situation of the war, the current situation is not bad, but very bad, and it has completely exceeded our expectations......
