Now the little Japan in China occupied all the North China Plain, all of Shandong, all of Chahar, all of Suiyuan, the front of the army reached Shanxi Niangzi Pass, the south reached the city of Xuzhou, and also occupied Shanghai, the total strength of the entire Japanese army in China was 600,000, the Kwantung Army was 1.5 million, Chiang Zhongzheng was stepping up the training of his two million German troops, at this time Chiang Zhongzheng already had more than 1,000 German tanks, and the thin skin tanks of the little Japan were sent to death, that is, there were fewer planes, but it was still possible to escort their own armored divisions.

The armored corps that little Japan bought from Germany was sent to the Nomenkan front, and now the Japanese army is facing a two-front battle, and at the same time, it is also facing a multi-front attack by the Soviet Union, and the situation is already very bad. The Japanese emperor's visit to Germany was mostly for military procurement and alliance with Germany, and now Zhang Jun has no way to return to Berlin, but only asks Mao Renfeng to closely watch the development of the situation.

In history, Zhukov faced a small Japan with all thin-skinned tanks, one cannon at a time, and now Little Japan also has German armored divisions, I don't know if Zhukov will slaughter more than 50,000 people in Japan as in history, everyone can only wait for Little Japan and the Soviet Union to know after the Nomenkan fight.

……

Hitler's guarantee is that after Germany obtains Polish territory, it will attack the Soviet Union, and Britain and France will provide the necessary help, Britain and France also guarantee that Germany will not stab Germany in the back when attacking Poland, Germany did not conspire with Britain and France in history, Britain and France did not conspire with Britain and France, Britain and France did not move on the Maginot Line, but only verbally supported Poland, and at the same time, Germany promised the Soviet Union to jointly carve up Poland in order to stabilize the Soviet Union, The Soviet Union was to acquire 51% of Poland.

In order to obtain such a large territory of Poland, the Soviet Union sent the Belarusian Front and the Ukrainian Front, totaling more than a million people, while Germany also mobilized 1.6 million elite troops, while Poland had a total of 30 infantry divisions, 14 cavalry brigades and 11 national militia units with 1.5 million soldiers plus 1 million militia reserves.

At this time, Poland did not know that Britain and France had betrayed themselves with the Soviet Union, because Poland had signed an alliance treaty with Britain and France, and Poland had signed a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union, so Poland basically deployed all its forces on the Western Front, against the German side, while the Eastern Front facing the Soviet Union was full of reserves and garrisons, and it was impossible to talk about combat effectiveness.

Looking at the comparison of the advanced weapons of the German-Polish sides, the Germans attacked in four echelons: the first echelon was the best quality, the most well-equipped, the most preferred, mechanized and the most numerous, each division was about 18,000 men, and there were 35 such divisions, with a total of about 630,000 soldiers; The second echelon consisted of 16 divisions, composed of reservists, each with about 15,000 men, for a total of 240,000 men; The third echelon is made up of older or less well-trained reserve forces; The fourth echelon is made up of reinforced battalions of regular troops, which are used in reinforcement or secondary defensive operations with units in the third echelon.

Germany invested more than 2,900 tanks No. 3 and No. 4, plus Zhang Jun's 500 copycat Type 99 tanks, which were much more powerful than Poland's armored forces.

The Luftwaffe was also far more powerful than the Polish Air Force, mainly used to provide tactical support and assist the ground forces in their offensives, especially the JU87 dive bomber, whose precise strike ability and special whistling sound had a considerable impact on the morale of the Polish army. The Germans also had the BF109, one of the most advanced fighters in the world at the time, and a large number of medium bombers, mainly the HE111 and DO17 bombers. Between 1936 and 1939, Hitler organized the "Vulture Army" with the air force as the main backbone to go to Spain to participate in the civil war, and gained a lot of actual combat experience. The Germans used a total of 2,695 aircraft in the German-Polish war, including 771 fighters, 408 destroyers, 336 dive bombers, and 1,180 bombers, of which more than 200 were used in reconnaissance missions. The Luftwaffe at this time was probably the most experienced, trained and well-equipped air force in the world

Poland has junk and outdated mini-tanks (armed only with machine guns or guns with a caliber of only 20 mm), totaling about 800 units, which are inferior to the bean tanks of small Japan. The only tank in the Polish army that has reached the contemporary world level is 135 7TP tanks, which is the world's first mass-produced tank equipped with a diesel engine, and Poland also has some imported modern tanks, such as 50 French R-35 tanks and 38 British-made Vickers six-ton tanks, none of Poland's tanks are opponents of the No. 4 tank, you must know that the current No. 4 is all equipped with a long 75 gun, 175 mm penetrating depth, the No. 4 tank can not penetrate the tank has not yet come out, Polish tanks in Germany" Blitzkrieg" has only been named one by one.

The Polish Air Force lagged far behind the Luftwaffe in size and quality, and lacked modern fighters, but its pilots were among the best in the world, proving the capabilities of Polish pilots in the Battle of Britain a year later. The Polish Air Force has a total of about 1,900 aircraft, but of them very few front-line combat aircraft, of which 650 are training aircraft, and the other 700 are all kinds of obsolete aircraft or useless at the outbreak of war, the real front-line strength is 392 aircraft, including 185 fighters, 114 reconnaissance fighters, 36 medium bombers and 84 reconnaissance aircraft, of which the main fighters are 128 "PZLP.11" and 30 "PZLP.7", These two aircraft were good in the early 30s, but they were still far behind the modern German fighters of 1939, with the P.11 fighter reaching a top speed of only 365 kilometers per hour, which was even lower than some German bombers.

The navy can be said to be useless in such a big war with neighboring countries, and it will also be the army that will decide the future and fate of the country.

At 4:40 a.m. on September 1, 1939, the Luftwaffe began to bomb the Polish town of Weelong, and at the same time, the old German battleship "Schlitzweig-Holstein", which had been stationed in Danzig Harbor under the pretext of an official visit, began firing at the Polish stronghold on the Dippan Peninsula for the first time in World War II. At 4:45, the German Army attacked Poland from the north, south, and west.

Zhang Jun's 1st SS Panzer Corps was assembled near Breslau, and on the left was the Wehrmacht's Eighth Army, whose task was to assault or contain Poland's "Rotz" group army, Poland's "Rotz" group army was still very strong, with more than 100,000 people, because they had been in the German-Polish border area, and the soldiers' various training and weapons and equipment were in the forefront of the Polish army, and the weapons were not comparable with the German army except tanks and planes, and in other aspects, they were no worse than the German army.

To the right of the 1st SS Panzer Army was the Wehrmacht 10th Army, and they had two missions, divided into two AB groups, Group A was to attack the Krakow Army Group head-on, and Group B was to follow Zhang Jun's 1st SS Panzer Corps, and when they reached the junction of the Polish "Prussian Army" and the "Krakow Army", the 1st SS Panzer Army was responsible for defeating the "Prussian Army", and the 1st SS Panzer Army handed over the position to the Wehrmacht 10th Army Group B, and then they were responsible for defeating the Polish "Krakow Army". "An attack was launched in the rear in order to achieve the goal of completely encircling and annihilating the Polish "Army Group Krakow".

The relationship between Hitler and the Wehrmacht was delicate, like a never-ending war, of course, Hitler's battles with the Wehrmacht were all on the premise of ensuring Germany's national interests, and the means were much more gentle, and it was definitely not Stalin's kind of purge. Therefore, Hitler always hoped to have a unit that was absolutely loyal to him and had outstanding military achievements, and now Zhang Jun's 1st SS Panzer Army is Hitler's hope and hope.

In the battle to attack Poland, Hitler's assignment to Zhang Jun was also the heaviest and most dangerous, Hitler just hoped that his little radish head could lead the First Panzer Army of the SS to play a majestic and prestigious role, and also to give those arrogant Wehrmacht a little color to see, Germany is not only your Wehrmacht can fight, my SS can fight better than you.

Hitler's task to Zhang Jun was to break into the joint of Poland's "Rotz Army" and the "Krakow Army", Zhang Jun was followed by a Wehrmacht army, and after Zhang Jun broke through the defensive line, he went straight to the rear of the Polish army, and handed over the position to the Wehrmacht who followed him in attacking the combination of Poland's "Prussian Army" and "Krakow Army", and then Zhang Jun's ultimate task began, with the shortest time, the fastest speed, and the most fierce attack, to approach Warsaw, the capital of Poland, and to take it quickly.

It's a daunting task! You must know that the tension between Poland and Germany has just begun, Poland has built a large number of fortifications in the city of Warsaw, although Poland has sent most of the regular army to the front, but Warsaw as the capital of Poland, the total strength of the reserve will not be less, in addition to the Polish militia or something, the total number of these people will not be less than 200,000, Zhang Jun's SS First Panzer Corps has many people, more than 70,000 people have already fought two battles, and they have to gallop hundreds of kilometers, and then attack cities with perfect city defense and sufficient troops, Zhang Jun was frightened by Hitler's orders.

This Führer really thinks too much about Zhang Jun, according to common sense, this is basically an impossible task, of course, Zhang Jun will not explicitly resist Hitler's orders, and so on Zhang Jun's troops under the city of Warsaw, if he can fight, Zhang Jun will attack without hesitation, if he can't fight, Zhang Jun plans to wait for the arrival of other troops under the city of Warsaw and then attack together, Zhang Jun does not like to bury a large number of tanks in the street battles in the city.

Zhang Jun chose a cone-shaped attack formation, Rommel led the "Viking Division" as an arrow, and at the same time handed over most of the tanks of the "Prince Eugen" division that had just been formed to Rommel, so that Rommel's copycat Type 99 tanks reached 300, and the other vehicles remained unchanged. Rommel's left flank is Hausser's "Imperial Division", the right flank is Ike's "Skeleton Division", and the "Prinz Eugen Division" formed is the role of the captain of the transport brigade, Zhang Jun is now the head of the German armament department, and his father-in-law is Krupp, Zhang Jun fished some cars in the armament department, and also borrowed some cars from his father-in-law, the total number is 1,500, and the 1st SS Panzer Corps itself has 2040 cars, and now the total number has increased to 3540, with an armored division with only a few tanks to escort, There are not a lot of troops.
