468 The Battle Begins (Part II)

Mironov will continue to suffer, because Ubolevich has still not reached the designated position, and having just routed the enemy in front of him, Ubolevich is surprised to find that he has lost control of his troops!

Not kidding at all, it is to lose control, the whole battlefield is in chaos, and in order to hurry, the troops are fighting on their own. Ubolevich could only stare at this qiΔ“ dryly, and there was nothing he could do to end this damn chaos without revising the original battle plan.

"Have you contacted the First Division?" Ubolevich asked as he rubbed his temples.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, no. The evening thundershowers disturbed the electromagnetic waves, and no signal was received at all! ”

Ubolevich sighed lightly, he knew very well that even without the interference of thunder and lightning, the situation of the first division would probably not be much better than that of the second division, these Polish troops that appeared inexplicably were too bad, they were like mud that pasted his army, and he was afraid that he would not be able to move until he cleared the mud.

"Can you contact Comrade Andrei?" Ubolevich asked again.

"Not yet."

Ubolevich smiled bitterly and ordered: "Then write it down, and immediately after resuming the communication, send a telegram to Comrade Andrei to tell him that we have encountered a considerable number of Polish troops on the way." The order and formation of the troops were completely disrupted by this sudden appearance of the enemy, and according to the original plan, they rushed to set up an ambush near the Livitz River, and the operational plan of annihilating Pilsudski's troops was no longer possible...... Judging by the current situation, we must adjust our military deployment! ”

Speaking of this, Ubolevich paused. After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment. Continued: "I built yì. Abandon the original plan and fight a war of annihilation east of Vovomin as appropriate after our troops have annihilated the current enemy......"

How far is Vovomin from Warsaw? Let's put it this way, Vovomin and Legionovo are on par with each other, and they are both satellite towns around Warsaw, except that one is to the east of Warsaw and the other is to the north of Warsaw.

It is less than 50 kilometers from Vovomin to Warsaw to Mantaman, if you take a train. Even the slowest and slowest train can be reached in two hours. Fighting a war of annihilation near Vovomin would inevitably be interfered with by the defenders of Warsaw, and once Pilsudski saw through the intentions of the East Prussian Liberation Army, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Wovomin is too close!"

Li Xiaofeng was naturally a little unhappy, but Ubolevich also made the actual situation clear, who knew that Pilsudski would call on King Qin, who would have thought that Ubolevich would just bump into him. Such coincidences and accidents on the battlefield are the most tests of the art of command.

Li Xiaofeng naturally doesn't have much conducting art, so he doesn't know how to clean up this mess.

"Wowo is clearly too close," Triandafilov said suddenly. "But judging from the reality of the situation, Comrade Ubolevich is quite right. It is no longer possible to continue the original battle plan, instead of hastily taking the chaotic troops north to the banks of the Levitz River to try their luck, it is better to annihilate the enemy on the spot, and then rush to repair the fortifications near Vovomin on the one hand to make preparations for blocking the reinforcements of the Polish army in Warsaw, and on the other hand, to reorganize the troops and prepare for the war of annihilation! ”

Li Xiaofeng looked at the map, to be honest, he really can't rest assured, first, Wovomin is too close to Warsaw, once the blockade is unsuccessful, let the Poles succeed, the next battle will not be able to be fought; Secondly, Ubolevich's army had to deal with the current enemy first, and judging by his telegrams, the situation was definitely not ideal. After annihilating this group of enemies, and then fighting continuously and then encountering Pilsudski's main force, this is quite a high demand for the troops, with the strength of the East Prussian People's Liberation Army, can it be done?

Triandafilov said calmly: "To be honest, it is quite difficult, but we have no better way, and I believe the lads can do it." ”

Li Xiaofeng was silent for a long time, he was making a final thought, according to the previous battle plan, he and Triandafilov also left two brigades of troops on hand, adding up to less than 8,000 people, this force was originally tasked with acting, and it was used to create an illusion to confuse the Polish army in Warsaw. The Polish army in the city is about 20,000 to 30,000, and judging from the Qinwang order issued by Pilsudski, in the next period of time, Pilsudski will receive further reinforcements, can he stop them with 8,000 men?

For ten minutes, Li Xiaofeng didn't say a word, and just when Triandafilov was a little anxious, a certain immortal slapped the table heavily: "His grandmother's, it's done!" To Comrade Ubolevich, I agreed to his request...... He will be solely responsible for fighting a war of annihilation, and my demand is to completely annihilate a reactionary Polish army, including Pilsudski's descendants. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xiaofeng took a deep breath and said to Triandafilov: "And our task is to stop Pilsudski to the death, and never let him take a step over Vovomin!" ”

Ubolevich was relieved by Li Xiaofeng's decision, and he immediately made adjustments, ordering his five divisions and three independent brigades to immediately stop the previous sudden movement regardless of a single qiΔ“, switch from a state of rush to a combat state, and give priority to annihilating the three Polish Qinwang divisions that were mixed with them.

After this adjustment, the situation immediately changed, and the troops finally did not have to be half-hearted, and did not have to think about whether to rush first or destroy the enemy first. Five divisions finally unfolded and firmly surrounded the remaining Polish troops.

"Tell the division commanders, although the battle plan has been adjusted now, we can fight the enemy first with all our hearts. But that doesn't mean time isn't precious, the sooner we annihilate these enemies, the more calm we will be, and there's still a fierce battle ahead! We can't afford to be a little careless and lax! ”

After teaching his troops a lesson, Ubolevich did not forget Mironov, who was struggling to support himself on the banks of the Bug River, and said unceremoniously that the battle of the Independent Cavalry Brigade had suffered a big loss for him, and if they had adjusted their plans earlier, they would not have had to resist for so long and would not have to pay such a heavy price.

But who can say for sure what happened on the battlefield? The art of war is the art of dealing with sudden and special situations, and whoever can adjust faster can think of better means of adjustment. Who can fight for the initiative!

"Sue Comrade SΓΉ Mironov. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to his troops for their efforts and sacrifices in this battle. As a last resort, I had to adjust my deployment...... Of course, this does not mean that the battles he fought before with the heroic Independent Cavalry Brigade became meaningless, I would like to tell him that the Independent Cavalry Brigade bought us precious time, and every sacrifice he and his lads made was immortal! ”

At the end of the telegram, Ubolevich told SΓΉ Mironov that his troops would only need to hold out for another 4 to 8 hours before retreating. However, due to the tension of the troops, he could only send a cavalry battalion to meet them......

Speaking from the heart, Ubolevich was very unhappy, feeling sorry for Mironov, and even more sorry for the soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed their lives in the separate cavalry brigade. Not only because of their sacrifices, but also because he was unable to draw more troops to meet them. And everyone knows that with the current state of the independent cavalry brigade, without a strong receiving force, I am afraid that it will not be able to withdraw at all.

In a sense, Ubolevich's actions amounted to the sacrifice of the separate cavalry brigade. It is tantamount to leaving them to fend for themselves. This guilt kept Ubolevich in his sleep, and he was especially uncomfortable that he could not change the order. For the sake of the whole, he had to sacrifice Mironov and the separate cavalry brigade. This is probably the so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, for the general must have a ruthlessness, not only to the enemy, but also to their own people when necessary!

But what is more interesting is that this telegram sent by Ubolevich to Mironov, Mironov did not receive! No joke at all, the radio thing is like a woman's aunt, and there is always a time when it is particularly tangled. Whether it was then or now, there are cases where zΓ i cannot receive a signal. Especially back then, when radio was just getting used on a large scale, the big aunt who made people hurt often came without saying hello.

So Mironov didn't know he could retreat, and he remained trapped on the small beachhead, enjoying wave after wave of warm Polish hospitality.

"More than half of the casualties of the first battalion, the second battalion was basically disabled, and the third battalion has lost contact with the brigade headquarters, and it is impossible to know their exact status, but judging from the movements from the direction where they are stationed, I am afraid that there is more luck than luck. Now the only ones left to fight were the four battalions that had previously served as reserves. ”

In fact, without listening to the report of the chief of staff, Mironov also knew what the situation of the troops was, and the current independent cavalry brigade could only be regarded as a reinforced battalion when it was fully charged. And on their front, there are at least two divisions of the enemy, and possibly even more.

"Brigade commander, it's time for us to retreat!" The chief of staff hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said what was in his heart: "We have been hard against the enemy for three days, and we have exceeded the tasks of our superiors, woo, if we continue to carry it, our brigade will really be wiped out!" Brigadier Commander, you have to leave a little seed for our brigade! ”

"Seeds?"

Mironov closed his eyes and sighed, and asked rhetorically: "If the battle is lost, what is the use of leaving the seeds?" Don't you know what this battle means to you Jews? A win will be the only way to gain a foothold, and a loss will mean a full-scale counterattack by the Poles and the Entente, and then there will be nothing left! ”

Speaking of this, Mironov became quite intense, and he hissed and roared exhaustedly: "So, you give Lao Tzu what bullshit seeds." This is a game that can only be won and not lost, even if the independent cavalry brigade is exhausted, even if Lao Tzu is dead, it doesn't matter! From now on, anyone who mentions the word retreat will be treated as a deserter! We're dead here! ”

The battle continued, the torment of Mironov continued, and just one morning after a new day, the fourth battalion of his last reserve was also crippled. Even worse, his troops were completely divided by the heavy forces of the Poles, and presented a state of fragmentation.

As such, Mironov continued to make as many trouble as possible for the Poles who tried to cross the river, so that they could not cross the river with peace of mind.

"These damn kosher mincup!"

Fresh from Hell Hill to recuperate, Bienyuk witnessed a tragedy with his mutilated troops. As soon as the friendly troops crossing the river reached the middle of the river, several small sampans rushed over from the opposite bank, and while they used their machine guns on the bow of the boats to strafe the Polish troops crossing the river, they approached frantically, and anyway, it looked like an egg was touching a stone.

In fact, it was like an egg hitting a stone, and the Poles' ferries were bigger. The fire in the bow was also fiercer. Several machine guns opened heavy fire. In a matter of minutes, the small sampan was beaten into a sieve. Just as Bienniuk was cheering on his allies, the only small sampan that had broken through the fire network crashed into the ferry.

Just when the Polish soldiers on the ferry fired a salvo of 100 guns and were about to kill the Jewish remnants on the sampan, with a loud bang, the small sampan was instantly blown to pieces, and a fireball rose in the center of the ferry and flew up dozens of meters into the air!

Bienyuk was surprised to find that the mighty and mighty ferry had broken in two in the middle, and the bow and stern were quickly cocked, and in less than a minute it sank into the Bug River with more than 200 lives on board!

It can well be imagined. These little sampans were filled with explosives, and the crazed Jews began to use meat bullet tactics to stop them from advancing.

"They're crazy! This...... This...... This is also inhumane! ”

The dumbfounded Bienyuk said the above words with such weakness and incompetence. The weakness and incompetence of the Poles made the Jews even more courageous.

As if inspired by the feat of the small sampan, the soldiers of the Independent Cavalry Brigade were completely out of the way, and in the face of the Polish army that tried to run over them, they not only wanted to kill one to save their capital, but also to kill two to earn one, but in fact one or two enemies could no longer satisfy them. As soon as the situation allows, they will not hesitate to pounce on the enemy with bundles of grenades or explosives, and take out ten or eight enemies at once!

This crazy tactic was very unbearable for Poland. They vehemently condemned the Jews and horrified to call this doxxing tactic "Mad David."

A whole afternoon. Explosions can be heard near the river beach. Every sacrifice is immortal for the heroic Separate Cavalry Brigade, and these martyrs used their lives to defend their people, their compatriots.

Mironov later recalled: "I used to think that the German soldiers were very good, and they were able to carry out the orders of their superiors to the letter, like a sophisticated killing machine...... But in the battles on the banks of the GuΓ² Bug, I began to find that the Jews were not at all inferior to the Germans, and for the time being their military qualities were inferior to the German soldiers, but with time they could improve. But their will to fight was stronger and more fierce than the German soldiers I had seen! ”

The fierce independent cavalry brigade made the Poles suffer a lot, and their advance became very slow, which not only bought time for Ubolevich to annihilate the "Qinwang Army", but more importantly, dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Poles.

A veteran of that battle recalled: "The Jews looked at death as their home, and they would stop us at any cost, and we all felt helpless and helpless about these tenacious mongrels." We don't know how to get rid of them, and we don't know if we can get rid of them. The whole army was demoralized and full of despair for ......the future."

Pilsudski was furious at the slow progress and low morale of his troops, and sent out one fiercely worded telegram after another denouncing and questioning them, scolding the troops from top to bottom.

But this is meaningless, because when the war is fought, it has completely escaped the control of the Poles, and it is no longer irretrievable by scolding or manpower.

"Your Excellency, we all know that progress is slow, but this is determined by objective factors, the Jews are so tenacious, we have tried every means to bring them to their knees. Even if you were in command, the results would not be better! ”

When Pilsudski received a call back from the front-line commander, his nose was crooked, and he was ready to remove these incompetent and arrogant wastes, but a woman stopped him.

"Your Excellency, according to the information obtained by our intelligence system, the Jews' intentions may not be as simple as you expected!"

Pilsudski disliked Learvine very much, and the pride of this woman made him feel very uncomfortable, but Learvine represented the British government that he could not afford to provoke. So he could only try to hide his disgust.

"What did you find?" Pilsudski asked patiently.

Pilsudski didn't like Pilvin, and likewise Pilsudski didn't like Pilsudski, the man gave her the feeling of a beast, the lust for power like a stench that made it hard for her to breathe.

"According to all indications on the battlefield, it seems that the real intention of the Jews was not to capture Warsaw!"

Pilsudski was stunned, and even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. The Jews marched to the city of Warsaw with an army of 100,000 menacing and destroyed two neighborhoods of Warsaw. Idiots wouldn't do such stupid things, okay!

"On the basis?" Pilsudski asked patiently and coldly.

"First of all, it has been two days since they arrived in Warsaw, but the Jews have never committed any troops to attack the city of Warsaw directly."

Before Learwin could finish speaking, Pilsudski interrupted her: "What does this mean? Doesn't it take preparation to attack a large city with a population of one million? ”

Ignoring Pilsudski's questioning, Learwin took it upon himself to state the second reason: "According to our reconnaissance, the Jewish army outside Warsaw was not active......"

Pilsudski sneered and interjected, "That's them resting!" ”

"It is possible," said Lierwin, shrugging his shoulders and standing up to give his final reason, "but in other respects, especially in the direction of Vovomin, the Jews are very active, do you think that this is normal?" (To be continued......)

PS: Bow and thank you Comrade Juventus!
