The theory that a weapon is invincible is absolutely undesirable, it is self-defeating......

Kruko could only watch his cavalry and artillery being routed, but he did not dare to send a single soldier to reinforce him. The reason was simple, Ruko's infantry did not dare to leave the fortifications to fight the SS tanks, and when the routed troops in the second ring defense position fled to the third ring defense position, seeing so many men, ragged and discarded weapons, Kruko really wanted to cry without tears, and deeply blamed himself for his recklessness.

Although Kruko was guilty, there was nothing wrong with Kruko's command arrangement, and the strategy of using artillery to bombard the oil fields was also very correct, but the artillery was not well protected by his own cavalry, so the success failed. This cannot be completely blamed on the responsibility of the cavalry, in modern warfare, in the face of the torrent of steel, the role of the cavalry is greatly reduced, and even this ancient branch of the army is about to retire from the stage of history.

The advantage of cavalry is mobility, but it does not have a solid defense, but the tank has mobility and defense, and at the same time has a strong attack ability, the latter two are not possessed by cavalry, which is why tanks completely replace cavalry.

Kruko is in a dilemma at this time, his 4 divisions can't handle an SS armored division, which is really aggrieved. Now retreat, your own infantry will run past the SS tanks, and you will only end up being annihilated on the march. If you don't retreat, you will also be annihilated.

Kruko didn't know what to do, whether to retreat or wait here to perish, Kruko really ran out of ideas. Now it is not enough to retreat from Kruko, you must know that the order given to him by the president is to take the LMH oil and gas field and blow it up completely. This task could not be completed by Kruko, because an armored division reinforced by the SS arrived.

"How is that good!! …… Correspondent; Send a report to the president asking for instructions on the next operational policy of our army, and ...... quickly."

The correspondent replied with a squeezing face:

"Commander-in-Chief, we have lost contact with the president."

Kruko instantly understood that he had only been on Lublin for a few hours, and that the president's radio was all good when he left, and as soon as he left on his front foot, the president's communication was interrupted. The first was the destruction or bombing of the Germans, but now no one has reported that Lublin was bombed or that something had happened in the attack, so it could only be another possibility, and the president ran away again.

Instead, Kruko quieted down, and he had to find a way to keep more of his men alive as soon as possible. The president ran away, himself failed twice in succession, lost more than 10 thousand people, lost all artillery. Judging from the current position, Kruko deeply felt that the SS Panzer Division was strong, and it was not light infantry like himself that could deal with it, and since it could not be defeated, it was only a way out.

The question is how to run, running without order, that is a collapse, if that is the case, his own 70,000 horses will disappear. This method is not something that Kruko will not consider, and it will have to be another way.

"Tick Tick ......"

Krukorei paced uneasily in his command car, and the life and death of the Nareel Army was a thought of Kruko, and he couldn't help but let Kruko think carefully. If Kruko is timid because of the defeat in front of him, then the demise of the Nareel Army will not be far off, and all Kruko will make a choice.

The anxious Kruko comforted himself in his heart to be calm and calm, while walking back and forth anxiously, since Kruko had decided in his heart to retreat immediately, he would definitely retreat, how to retreat, and Narell was tested.

How to do his own retreat so as not to let the SS pursue, this is the most worrying part of Kruko, Kruko has no way to prevent the Germans from pursuing, if he is a German commander, he can't give up such a big result.

"Bump...... Ouch...... Knock knock ......"

Kruko kicked on the iron podium, and immediately held his feet in pain and "danced", and he still "danced" on one leg, and the technical difficulty was still quite high.

"Order: The whole army is divided into regimental scale to retreat, the direction is chosen by itself, the final assembly point is Kovov, each regiment must organize the retreat of its own regiment, if you encounter a German pursuit force, you must hold on for two hours, leave time for your brother troops to escape, the whole army brothers please you."

This kick made Kruko painfully determined, since he kicked the iron plate, he had to endure the pain of his foot, which was similar to the current situation. Now that his troops have encountered the monster of the SS Panzer Division, it is absolutely impossible for him to be mentally prepared to suffer heavy losses, and to retreat unscathed. Kruko used the Polish president's trick to survive.

Kruko did not hide the battle situation from his subordinates, and whether Kruko's request would have an effect is only known after fighting.

"Hurry up...... Doodoo ...... Collection ......"

The third ring of the Polish army was completely boiling, and the sound of assembly was everywhere, whether it was the returning cavalry or the infantry, they were quickly assembling. Kruko did not continue to give orders, the unit ran in that direction specifically, and the regiment commander made his own decisions, which was more flexible, and perhaps more people escaped.

After Kruko gave the order, he didn't stop, and directly took the command and the guard regiment and started to run, Kruko and they could run faster than other troops, because they had more cars. Run, run as fast as you can.

In fact, Kruko's decision was right, and Wittmann went to pull the captured cannons in order to show his merit. Wittmann only left a small number of tanks to spy on those Polish troops, and Wittmann would not have thought that tens of thousands of Polish troops would choose to flee shamefully before the start of the fight, which was a shame as a soldier.

Of course, Weitmann's tanks can also catch up with the fleeing Polish army, but the Polish army is a scattered and fleeing regiment, which can be said to be full of Polish troops all over the mountains, and Weitmann is an armored regiment, more than 100 tanks and the same number of armored vehicles, at most to deal with one Polish infantry regiment at a time. In this way, it seems that Kruko's tactics are half the battle......

……

"Knock knock...... Report General Vincent ......"

"Oh...... It's Colonel Wittman, come and come and sit down, we are comrades who have fought side by side together, so we don't have to be so polite. ”

Who is a comrade-in-arms with you, a little Italian white face! That's you robbing me of the command of the armored regiment, okay. Weitman only muttered in his heart, so he didn't want to ink with Vincent, a little white face in Italy. Wittmann was particularly unhappy that Vincent had taken command of him in Warsaw.

"Report to the deputy division commander, our tank assault group has broken the second defensive circle of the Polish army, killed more than 5,000 Polish troops, and captured more than 150 cannons of various calibers, but in the process of assault, our army was bombarded by Polish heavy artillery and suffered losses."

As soon as he heard the word loss, Vincent's face immediately became gloomy, just now it was like a spring breeze, and it was as cold as frost in an instant.

"Ah!! Loss...... How much to lose...... How did you do it, tell me how much you lost. ”

Vincent's face turned over than the face of the book, which made Weitmann even more unhappy, he is now the deputy division commander, is Weitmann's direct boss, Weitmann also does not dare to make a mistake, respect his own commander, is one of the best traditions of the German army, Weitmann did not dare to risk the world's disapproval, to confront Vincent, so he had to reply aggrieved:

"Report to the deputy division commander, in the process of the assault, our army was suddenly attacked by the heavy artillery group of the Polish army, and there were more than 300 cannons of other calibers, so we lost three cottage 99 tanks, more than 10 seriously injured and more than 20 armored vehicles."

As soon as Vincent heard that so many tanks and armored vehicles had been lost in this battle, he instantly threw away the romance of the Italians, and roared like thunder:

"Okay, you're Wittman, aren't you an expert in tank warfare? How did you lose so many tanks and armored vehicles in this battle, oh!! My tank!! Oh my armored car! Wittman: You have to review yourself, you have to write a review, find out what you are wrong about. ”

Wittman's tears of grievance swirled in his eyes, he had indeed never fought a battle without air force cover before, but this is tonight, is it all his own responsibility, and you, the commander, are not responsible?

Of course, Vincent didn't want to put the blame on Weitman, but Vincent independently commanded an armored division to fight, although he achieved some victories, but compared to the previous battles, it can be said that he suffered heavy losses, can this not make Vincent anxious?

As soon as Wittmann wanted to go back and write a review, a report came from the front monitoring of the Polish army, saying that the Polish army's position was in disarray, and it seemed that they had some urgent activity.

Vincent's mind was still very flexible, and he immediately thought that it was the Polish army who wanted to run, and hurriedly said to Wittmann, who was about to leave:

"Wittmann, now is the time for you to atone for your crimes, and immediately lead your tank assault group to attack the third ring of the Polish army."

By the time Wittman decided to pull the cannons back to show his credit, he had already missed the opportunity. Running back and forth like this, it was night, and the Polish army was scattered and fled, and the effect of Wittmann's pursuit was not destined to be better.

With just a few tanks and armored vehicles, how many regiments of Polish prisoners can he capture!! It seems that the sad Weitman's examination was written.

Gunfire rang out all night within a hundred kilometers of the LMG oil field, and dawn finally stopped.

Wittman was leaning his body against the top window of the copycat tank, a cigarette in his mouth, and he continued to smoke vigorously. The wrinkles on Wittman's forehead are clearly visible, which is not a sign of Wittman's old age, but a cause for sorrow. The tank is out of fuel, tragedy.

"Quick, you Poles, assemble over there, quick, put your weapons down ......" (To be continued.) )
