Indeed, as Lierwin guessed, the situation of the Poles not only did not improve, but even deteriorated rapidly and sharply. Among them, the most important were the two orders issued by Pilsudski, although these two orders prevented the Qinwang army from being encircled and attacked, but also greatly relieved the pressure on the East Prussian People's Liberation Army.

One of the most profound is Mironov, who, to be honest, has exhausted his oil lamp and is ready for the last moments. But at this moment, the Poles, who had been very anxious and anxious before, suddenly changed their minds, and in the blink of an eye, they became lukewarm.

The Poles began to suspend the offensive, and even carried out a certain amount of contraction and adjustment, such a change made Mironov really puzzled, and did not understand what the Poles were smoking!

People are just crazy. Since Pilsudski ordered the ragtag army of King Qin to suspend his actions, it was naturally impossible for him to forget his own lineage. In fact, Pilsudski paid more attention to the safety of his descendants, because in his opinion, if the Jews were ready to encircle the area and send reinforcements, then his descendants were definitely the primary target of the Jews.

Therefore, as soon as he saw through the "tricks" of the Jews, he immediately personally ordered the troops of his descendants to suspend their advance, and ordered them to be more careful not to be dumpled by the main force of the Jews.

Since Pilsudski, the big boss, has spoken, can the people below not listen? In fact, the people below are also willing to listen, after all, they are in a hurry along the way, but they are tired. What's so bad about being able to catch your breath?

Moreover, the Jewish resistance force fought very tenaciously, it can not be described as hard bones, it is simply a steel bar! I bite it and break off half of their good teeth!

So Pilsudski's descendants were willing to stop and rest. They thoroughly carried out Pilsudski's order to stop advancing. Not only did it not even move forward. Instead, it began to retreat. Why do you retreat? That's not obvious, behind it is Shangma'ukinia, which is also a medium-sized city, and being stationed in the city is no better than being punished in the wilderness!

Pilsudski could never have imagined that his descendants would be so passive, and the main force would suddenly retreat back to Verma-Ukinia, and even withdraw most of the troops that had already crossed the Bug River! Only a small number of troops were left to guard the crossing and "besiege" the recalcitrant Jews.

Why should the siege be put in quotation marks? Because there is also a reason for this, the remnants of Mironov's troops were indeed surrounded. But there was no attack. The Poles were besieging but not attacking, as if they were watching nearby.

This situation is actually easy to understand, after all, the main forces have retracted to establish and enjoy happiness, leaving only them unlucky ghosts to gnaw bones, who will be happy with this kind of treatment? Since the people above are all negative, the people below will not take the initiative, and they will naturally choose not to work.

It was a pie in the sky, and Mironov was almost knocked unconscious by the big pie, but after a brief moment of joy he immediately regained consciousness. Truly. The situation improved, but his troops were not fundamentally out of the situation. Who knows when the Poles will come to their senses, and if they don't take advantage of their confusion to actively carry out actions, I'm afraid they will only be able to cry next!

The Poles did not move, but Mironov took the initiative to act, he took advantage of the night to contact the divided and surrounded troops, ready to gather the troops and break through!

That's right, it was a breakthrough, and Mironov finally received a belated retreat order from Ubolevich. However, it was a bit late, because he was completely trapped and could only continue to struggle in the encirclement. And now, the Poles took the initiative to let go, he didn't run away quickly, that would be stupid!

It has to be said that Mironov was lucky, or rather bitter, just as he was preparing to break through, the symbolic receiving force sent by Ubolevich also arrived. With their cooperation, Mironov's breakthrough operation became more and more smooth.

Shun lì to what Cheng dù?

Mironov had just broken through the siege, and the Poles only put up a symbolic resistance and opened the net, almost sending him off. Why is this happening?

Presumably, the Poles who surrounded Mironov felt that the reason why they stayed in the middle of nowhere rather than in the city was because of the discordant factor of Mironov. What if there is no such discordant factor? The enemy has broken through, so what's the point of them remaining in the wilderness? At that time, I'm afraid they can also go into the city to enjoy the blessings, right?

Four days after the battle broke out in Upper Maukinia, it came to an end in a very absurd way. Just as the two forces collided together in Upper Maukinia, they tacitly chose to "break up" peacefully.

Of course, the Poles will soon pay the price for a peaceful breakup, very tragically. But that's the story later, but for the time being, let's take a look at the situation with Mironov's separate cavalry brigade!

It should be said that the Independent Cavalry Brigade no longer exists in terms of strength, and the four-day tragic resistance battle almost wiped out the brigade, and there are no more than 500 people in the whole brigade who can continue to fight, and not even a battalion can be organized.

Among them, the most tragic are the following troops, the Makov company stationed on the 175.2 heights, there are only eight people in the whole company who walked down Hell Mountain alive, including four seriously wounded, the company commander Makov has three gunshot wounds and five knife wounds all over his body, and he can't count what was hit by shrapnel, anyway, this brave and resourceful tough guy is almost inhuman, and even his younger brother can't recognize it.

Of course, the sacrifice of the second company was of great significance, precisely because they were so desperately choked the lines of communication of the Poles, and they were unable to exert all their strength, which greatly relieved the pressure on the main force. To put it mildly, without the second company, Mironov would have been eaten by the Poles without even a belt and bones.

After learning of the feat of the Second Company, the Provisional Government of the East Prussian People's Republic unanimously passed a resolution to award the Second Company the honorary title of "Iron Hero Company" and to ensure that the number of the Second Company would be preserved forever. As for the soldiers who died and survived the Second Company, each of them will be awarded the highest honor of the East Prussian People's Republic - the Order of the People's Hero.

Another unit that received a special commendation was the Dayan Division, which guarded Position 5 on the beach. The unit was awarded the honorary title of "Invincible Hard-Headed Battalion," and in the course of the battle, it repelled more than 30 enemy attacks, killing and wounding more than 2,000 enemies. At the end of the battle. Only one platoon remained in the battalion. About forty people. One of them, Battalion Dayan, was blinded in one of his left eyes. The image of still commanding the battle will be remembered forever.

However, Mironov did not have much time to enjoy these honors, and after gathering the remnants, he immediately led his troops to transfer, jumped out of the nightmarish Upper Maukinia, and disappeared into the battlefield like a ghost.

After the disappearance of the Separate Cavalry Brigade, there was basically no gunfire in Upper Maukinia, and the only hot spot on the battlefield was in a small area more than 20 kilometers east of Vovomin. In this area, Ubolevich's five divisions surrounded the Poles about two divisions. The war of annihilation is in full swing!

"Resist, you must resist Lao Tzu!" Saganovsky yelled at the receiver and hung up the phone hard.

Since last night, the most he has shouted as a corps commander is to resist, but he can't resist anything, first of all, the 22nd Division under his command has not withstood the onslaught of the Jews, and it has been eaten clean in the blink of an eye.

Saganovsky was taken aback, as he had thought that he had only run into a small force of troops in Warsaw that the Jews had placed on the perimeter to prevent them from reinforcing Warsaw. Only then did the 22nd Division order to attack at any cost, but unfortunately it did not gain anything for a day. Instead, it was eaten.

It was then that Saganovsky reacted - something was wrong. This seems to be the main force of the Jews? To be honest, at that time he still felt that it was unlikely, after all, what kind of quality of the troops he had at hand, he knew best as a military commander, and the Jews didn't look down on his motley army, right?

Let's put it this way, Saganovsky was originally only a division commander, and the 20th Division under his command was still an empty unit that was not properly organized, and to be honest, he had only one brigade at most.

However, after Pilsudski's tragic defeat in East Prussia, in order to salvage the situation, His Excellency the President immediately ordered the expansion of the army and began to arrest strong men throughout the country. Saganovsky carried out Pilsudski's orders well, and his 20th Division also swelled dramatically, expanding into the 20th Army, with three divisions, namely the 20th, 21st and 22nd Divisions.

The division commander became the army commander, and it was raised by two levels in vain, and this kind of good thing naturally made Saganovsky very happy. But even more joy was yet to come, when the Jews marched south and threatened Warsaw. He was the first to respond to Pilsudski's "Qinwang Order" and rushed to Warsaw with his 20th Army.

Why was Saganovsky so aggressive, was he not afraid of the Jews at all, was he so confident in his troops?

Of course not, in fact, this military lord has no confidence in his troops for a dime, except for the 20th division of the backbone, which can still fight a little, the other two divisions are basically a few of them. To use such an army against the Jews is tantamount to seeking death!

That being the case, why is Saganovsky positive? The reason is very simple, this military lord is very political, he thinks that Pilsudski's control of Poland is the trend of the times, and he hurriedly curry favor with this president and leave a good impression on him, so it doesn't mean that he will be promoted and get rich in the future?

Stimulated by fame and fortune, Saganovsky also took a risk, rushed that fast, but unlucky fast, and before he reached Vovomin, he bumped into Ubolevich, and then? And then there was a tragedy!

Previously, Saganovsky was bent on pandering to Pilsudski, preparing to make a good impression on His Excellency the President, so as to pave the way for his future career. This was only a moment of dizziness, and now after a slap from Ubolevich. This military lord is sober, it is important to be promoted to get rich, but life is even more important!

If you let the Jews make dumplings, let alone get promoted and get rich, if you don't say it, you will even lose your life. Even if the Jews were kind to their captives, there would probably be no future for him, the leader of the defeated army. So at the moment of great urgency, Saganovsky made a decision - to break through and escape!

As the saying goes, staying in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood, Saganovsky felt that it was important to save his life first, and he ordered the 21st Division to withstand Ubolevich's attack on the spot, and to break through to the northeast with the 20th Division of his descendants!

And it was the breakthrough of this Saganovsky commander that made the form on the battlefield suddenly begin to become clear. As mentioned earlier, his 20th Army is a temporary patchwork of shelf troops. It's okay to bully unarmed civilians. But compared to Ubolevich's troops, it is simply not enough to see.

In particular, the 21st Division had quite a few complaints about the orders of this military lord. thinks that the military seat is to use them as cannon fodder, and is naturally not enthusiastic about blocking the attack. Almost as soon as Saganovsky and his descendant 20th Division broke out, the 21st Division also began a spontaneous breakout operation.

At the same time, Ubolevich was making final preparations for a general offensive and was adjusting his deployment to prepare for the 20th Army in front of him before dawn. He didn't expect the enemy to run, not only so suddenly, but so undisciplinedly. It's just a swarm of bees!

Suddenly, the situation on the battlefield began to be chaotic again, according to Ubolevich's original deployment, he was ready to attack the fortification, but now there is no need to attack the fortification at all, how to catch the enemy scurrying around is the fundamental problem!

At this time, Ubolevich also showed the suzhì of a military strategist, and he decisively instructed the front-line troops: "Except for a small part left to clean up the battlefield, the main force immediately begins to pursue the enemy, do not be afraid to disrupt the formation." Don't be afraid of casualties, don't be afraid of difficulties. Don't be afraid of fatigue, don't be afraid of hunger, let go of your hands and feet and chase down the enemy with all your might! ”

As a result, Ubolevich's headquarters, which had just returned to normal, once again became "chaotic", and the main forces were completely dispersed, frantically pursuing Saganovsky in battalions and companies, and there were countless encounters and encounters.

However, compared with the previous chaos, this time it was passive chaos, and this time it was active "chaos," and with the experience of the previous time, the whole army has experience in how to deal with "chaos," and it has presented a state of order in chaos.

Completely different from the chaos and order of the East Prussian People's Liberation Army, Saganovsky's 20th Army was really a mess, his army commander could not find the division commander, the division commander could not find the regiment commander below, and the regiment commander could not find the battalion commander and company commander, all in all, the 20th Army was in a state of collapse.

For example, the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Division pursued Ubolevich overnight and ran more than 20 kilometers to catch up with the 201st Regiment of the 201st Army of the enemy. The 1st Battalion did not know the enemy's situation, but in order to achieve the task of holding the enemy forward as much as possible, it did not hesitate to attack. Under the cover of the fire company, three infantry companies rushed into the village where the enemy had settled, and at one point the 201st regiment was dizzy. So much so that the commander of the regiment personally organized a counterattack, threw in two battalions, and transferred the group's artillery to bombard the 1st battalion. The two sides fought fiercely for a total of six hours, and the three companies of the 1st Battalion rushed into the village, and finally only one company commander and ten soldiers remained.

Under the onslaught of the 1st Battalion, the 201st Regiment was frightened, thinking that it had encountered the main force of the Jews, and finally surrendered!

There were still a lot of battles like the 1st Battalion, and after a whole night of fierce fighting, Saganovsky's 20th Army was basically finished, with only one and a half regiments of the 20th Division remaining to break through, and as for the 21st Division, in the chaos, most of them were annihilated by Ubolevich, and only two battalions ran out of the whole division.

It stands to reason that the annihilation of two and a half divisions of the enemy in two days and two nights should have satisfied Ubolevich, but on the contrary, Ubolevich was not satisfied with this result. In his opinion, although the sudden outbreak of the battle brought certain troubles to his troops, it must be noted that his troops had the absolute upper hand in terms of troops, morale, and combat effectiveness.

However, under such superior conditions, it was not possible to completely annihilate the enemy, but because of a sudden accident, the enemy fled more than 2,000 enemies. This fully illustrates that the East Prussian People's Liberation Army still has quite a lot of problems, especially the lack of experience in the operation of large corps. And next, it is Pilsudski's descendants who have to fight, and those troops are not comparable to a ragtag army like Saganovsky.

So after the pursuit of the battle, Ubolevich did not praise his troops, but criticized them harshly. On the one hand, he quickly reorganized his troops, and on the other hand, he sent the main force to continue the pursuit to the north.

"The 20th Army suffered heavy losses?"

When the battle was over, and when the East Prussian People's Liberation Army was happily cleaning up the battlefield, Pilsudski, who was guarding the city of Warsaw, got the news.

It should be said that this news surprised him very much, although the telegram sent to him by Saganovsky mentioned that he had encountered Jewish troops, but the commander who was only thinking about promotion and fortune was careless, thinking that he had encountered only a small group of Jews, thinking that his troops had the advantage and would soon run over the opponent's body. Therefore, he sent a telegram to Pilsudski with great confidence, exaggerating the combat effectiveness of his troops on the one hand, and belittling the number of Jews on the other.

Therefore, at that time, Pilsudski also thought that the old man was only encountered by a small group of Jews to block and harass the troops, and did not take it seriously at all. The Grand Commander was still helplessly searching the map for the vanished main force of the Jews.

It wasn't until the 20th Army was basically wiped out, and it wasn't until Saganovsky sent another telegram that Pilsudski reacted: "Idiot! ”

Pilsudski slapped the table hard and scolded: "That fool has ruined Lao Tzu's big thing!" Delayed us for two days in vain! ”

Thinking of the two days of delay, and the inexplicable annihilation of an army, Pilsudski beat his chest. If Saganovsky had discovered the enemy earlier, he could have ordered the rest of the Qinwang troops to move closer to Warsaw, and then concentrate their forces to fight the enemy to the death.

"Send that bastard to court-martial!" Pilsudski viciously gave the order, "Shoot him!" (To be continued......)
