472 Decisive Battle (1)

At this time, in addition to venting anger, what use is killing people for the war situation? In fact, not only is there no benefit, but there are also side effects...... Read the latest and most complete novels

If you think about it, the remnants of the 2O Army were the frightened birds, and what was needed most at this time was to stabilize the hearts of the people, and Pilsudski killed their commander. It is true that Saganovsky deserves to die, but not at this time!

His death not only failed to stabilize the battle situation, but only made the remnants of the 2O Army even more chaotic.

However, Pilsudski didn't care about the 2O Army at this time, and for him, although the loss of an army was very annoying, such a fiasco was very annoying, but it was not entirely bad news for him. The only good news that came with the total annihilation of the 2o Army was that he had finally found the position of the main Jewish force.

In Pilsudski's own words: "The fog of war has been blown away, the Jews have appeared, and the little tricks on which they relied are no longer of any use." I can feel that the situation is not ideal, but it is changing for the better! ”

Why did Pilsudski think that? The reason is very simple, knowing that the Jews are in the direction of Wovomin, he does not have to worry about the safety of the Qinwang army that rushed from the south and west. It is entirely possible to order these troops to re-engage and rush to Warsaw as quickly as possible.

From what he knew, there were probably two divisions of the Qinwang army coming from the southern provinces of Holy Cross and Carpathians, the 3O and 34th divisions, and from the western provinces of Greater Poland and Lodz, there were two divisions and a mixed brigade, the 27th, 29th, and 2o2 mixed brigades.

Although these units were not very combat-ready, they were almost five divisions in strength, plus two and a half divisions stationed in Warsaw. Once the troops converged. He had nearly seven divisions.

If you add the first, second and third divisions of the lineage. Pilsudski had 1o divisions on hand. Combined with the home advantage and the help of his godfather, Pilsudski felt that he had no chance of defeat.

Of course, there were also unfavorable circumstances for Pilsudski, as the three divisions he was most capable of were still far away from Upper Maukinia, some distance from Poland. Moreover, there is still the main force of the Jews in the middle, and the four and a half divisions from King Qin have very limited combat effectiveness, most of them are urgently expanded cannon fodder troops, judging from the situation of the 2O Army. Combat effectiveness is really worrisome.

This is not the end, these troops from King Qin are trekking through mountains and rivers along the way, and the consumption of the body is still relatively large. At least in their current state, they can't jump into battle right away.

Of course, Pilsudski didn't care about this, he only saw his own outnumber, only saw his own advantages, and his mind was full of calculations about how to fight a decisive battle under the city of Warsaw.

In this regard, Li Erwen patiently reminded him: "Your Excellency, not to mention the combat effectiveness of your troops. Let's talk about your plan, a decisive battle under the city of Warsaw. This is simply not realistic. To put it mildly, it's not up to you! ”

Pilsudski was about to say something, but Lierwin continued: "Why do you think that the Jews will fight you at the foot of Warsaw?" Why should the Jews fight the way you want? From the previous information, it can be seen that the Jews had no interest in Warsaw, they only wanted to annihilate the living forces of Poland, and had no interest in taking the city and land. What do you use to attract them to Warsaw? ”

Pilsudski snorted coldly and said very confidently: "Why do I have this confidence? Very simple! It is true that the Jews did not intend to occupy Warsaw before, but with their victory after victory, they will inevitably burst with confidence, and they have always had ambitions and illusions about Poland, they just want to occupy Polish land and enslave the Polish people, and now that the opportunity is in front of them, why should they give up? ”

Lierwin scoffed at this, and even thought that Pilsudski had persecution delusions, and she wanted to mock these two sentences, but Pilsudski didn't give her a chance to speak at all: "Besides, didn't you say it before? The Jews are trying to annihilate my living forces, and now that my living forces are concentrated in Warsaw, what reason do you think they should not come? ”

Looking at Pilsudski's triumphant appearance, Learwin was very disdainful and sneered: "Really? You seem to have forgotten that your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd divisions are not in Warsaw, and if the Jews are targeting them, you will not be able to reach them! ”

Did Pilsudski think about this possibility? Of course he thought about it, but he was optimistic: "Annihilate my three most elite divisions? You really think too highly of the fighting power of the Jews. I dare assure you that only the most arrogant and ignorant fool would give birth to such an unrealistic idea, that my troops can beat the Jews to ...... with one as ten"

"Your big ...... That's a lot of rhetoric! At this time, he couldn't even listen to M, and directly interrupted Pilsudski: "I don't know if your troops can be ten with one, I only know that the Jews in East Prussia planned a siege and annihilation battle before, and they have the intention of completely annihilating your troops." And now, the three divisions they are targeting you are not an unimaginable fantasy! ”

Regardless of how ugly Pilsudski's face was, he continued: "And, with all due respect, you have a little look at the fighting power of the little Jews, and if their main forces are really seeking to encircle and annihilate your most elite troops, Your Excellency the President, I wonder what you have to do about it?" ”

Pilsudski's face was darker than the bottom of the pot, and he was hit by two little women, but he still couldn't get off the stage very directly, which hurt his self-esteem very much. And what made him even more hateful was that he couldn't help but listen to the other party's opinion.

Pilsudski held back his anger and said: "For unlikely events, it is undoubtedly very foolish to make too many predictions and conjectures, and it is unfounded!" Personally, I hate this, but out of respect for my allies, I'm happy to reassure you......"

Speaking of this, Pilsudski somehow began to be proud and proud, which made M and Lierwin surprised for a while, and they couldn't understand how this flaming president could be in such a mood. Could it be that the pressure was too great and he had a nervous breakdown?

Pilsudski laughed: "If you want to eat my three most elite divisions, the Jews don't have that kind of mouth." If they really don't have enough people, they are ready to take risks. I also have a comprehensive plan for dealing with it. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd divisions were to hold back the main forces of the Jews in Upper Maukininia. In Warsaw, I concentrated the superior forces of seven divisions and quickly moved north. Counter-surround them in one go! Annihilate them all on the banks of the Bug River! ”

M and Learwin looked at each other and asked, "If the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd divisions don't complete the tasks you gave them......"

Pilsudski interrupted her with a wave of his hand and replied categorically: "That's impossible!" ”

Liervin wanted to say anything more, but Pilsudski ended the conversation forcefully: "Well, ladies, I have fully explained my intentions for war, and from all points of view, it is foolproof. The only thing you need. It is the good news that awaits me to annihilate the Jews! ”

Pilsudski strode away, expressing considerable concern about the overconfident Polish president, who wrote in her report to her superiors: "Pilsudski has shown obvious dictatorial tendencies, and I doubt that His Excellency will be able to advance the democratic process in Poland...... Of course, I am more skeptical of his leadership, he is too rigid to listen to any correct opinions, and under his leadership I think the future of Poland is in jeopardy......"

It should be said that this conclusion of M is too polite, and Lierwin's assessment of Pilsudski is more direct: "This fool will ruin himself and Poland." Andre. Petrovich and the Jews will educate him well! ”

Not to mention the resentment and curse of these two ladies towards Pilsudski, only from a military point of view. Was there a problem with Pilsudski's operational deployment?

It can be seen that the core idea of his battle plan was to use static braking, and his troops would firmly hold the nodes of two battlefields, Warsaw and Upper Maukinia. If the Jews attacked Warsaw, he relied on the city to deal with the Jews, and duly ordered the troops in Maukinia to follow the back of the Jews, so that the Jews would be exposed to the enemy.

If the Jews did not fight Warsaw and aimed at the troops of Upper Maukinia, then he would advance with seven divisions in Warsaw and fight a vigorous battle of annihilation on the banks of the Bug River.

It seems that this plan is good, because both Warsaw and Upper Mauginia have heavy troops, and the Jews cannot eat them in one bite. As long as one side can hold back the Jews, and when the other side comes up, it will inevitably be able to counter-encircle the Jews.

However, this seemingly far-like battle plan had considerable holes, starting with Pilsudski's misestimation of the strength and combat effectiveness of the Jews. Yes, in the entire battlefield, he Pilsudski had more than ten divisions, almost 100,000 huge troops.

The Jews had only a little more than six divisions, and ten divisions were indeed more than six on paper. The problem is that this is only on paper, and the Jews have a larger division than the Poles, with a Polish division numbering more than 90,000,000 men, but only 6,000 or 7,000 men. The Jewish divisions were each 12,000 men, and the main division was nearly 16,000. In this way, the Jews also had more than 80,000 troops.

That is to say, the strength of the two sides on the battlefield is probably a tie, the Poles may have a little more people, but the number is limited, and most of them are new recruits, and the combat effectiveness is limited.

Of course, such a comparison is not enough to reflect the actual situation on the battlefield, and it must be noted that most of the main forces of the Jews were in the hands of Ubolevich, about 70,000 people. The Poles, on the other hand, divided their forces into two places, or four places, a little in Upper Maukinia and a little in Warsaw, and two more troops were still on the way. In other words, by the time the decisive battle broke out, the Jews had already concentrated their superior forces, while the Poles were still scattered.

For example, Ubolevich's target, the Polish army in Upper Maukinia, was not 40,000 at full capacity, but in fact a little more than 30,000. Yes, it will take time for Ubolevich to eat these 30,000 men, but it will take more time for you to gather your forces and wait for you to go out of Warsaw to the rescue. What's more, there was a certain immortal waiting for him halfway through.

In this way, Pilsudski's so-called battle plan of static braking is simply a joke. In fact, it is possible to analyze the essence of Pilsudski's battle plan in more depth - the essence is that Pilsudski subconsciously or in his unconscious consciousness that he does not want to admit that he is probably not an opponent of the Jews in the field, and it is very risky to leave the city and take the initiative to attack!

To put it bluntly, Pilsudski was already a little scared. Whether it was in East Prussia or before the explosion of a series of battles. Without exception, his troops suffered heavy losses in the field. Therefore, the subconscious tells him to make the most of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. So he chose a tactic that seemed more secure and sure.

The problem is that for a unit that is not very strong in field capabilities, or in fact has very questionable field capabilities. It is simply impossible to brake with static, and with static braking is tantamount to being passively beaten, and it is tantamount to handing over the initiative on the battlefield to the enemy.

This was also clearly reflected in the course of the subsequent battles, where the initiative on the battlefield was firmly in the hands of the East Prussian People's Liberation Army, and Pilsudski and his Polish Wehrmacht could only passively accept the initiative from beginning to end.

On June 18, Ubolevich's troops pursued the remnants of the 2O Army all the way. Finally arrived on the banks of the Bug River. On the other side of the river is the battlefield where the Independent Cavalry Brigade once fought bloodily, and even after two or three days, the battlefield can still be seen across the river is very bloody.

Putting down the binoculars, Ubolevich sighed: "The separate cavalry brigade is really good!" After saying this, he ordered: "Prepare to cross the river!" ”

In fact, it is still early to cross the river, because there are still many enemies on this side of the riverbank, and some of them are the remnants of the 2O Army that fled all the way. According to Pilsudski's orders, they were to join up with the troops of Verkhnia Ukinia, so the road was pursued quite badly by Ubolevich.

The other part consisted of the vanguard regiment of the 1st Division of the Polish Wehrmacht, which had been ordered to cross the river, and built a pontoon bridge next to the bombed-out railway bridge. This pontoon bridge was originally intended for the main force to cross the river. But on Pilsudski's orders, the main forces did not need to cross the river. So the pontoon bridge was left to hang there.

In fact, according to the order of Polski, the commander of the 1st Army of the 1st Division, the head of the 1st Division of the Polish Wehrmacht, this pontoon bridge should be destroyed immediately. However, the commander of the 1st Division, Gelcek, felt that his vanguard was still on the other side of the river, and it was quite troublesome to blow up the pontoon bridge to cross the river.

Gelcek then gave a very humane order to the vanguard, telling them: "As soon as the main force of the Jews is present, cross the river at once and destroy the pontoon bridge at once!" ”

Probably in the opinion of this division commander, there is no need to rush to blow up the bridge, arrange the explosives first, and wait for the Jews to come, isn't it just a matter of igniting a fire?

However, the division commander Gelchek did not expect that it was not the Jews who arrived at the pontoon bridge first, but the remnants of the 2O Army, whose vanguard regiment was crossing the river at that time, and was ready to destroy the pontoon bridge immediately. However, this move angered the remnants of the 2O Army.

The acting army commander Gonkar stood on the pontoon bridge and jumped to his feet and scolded: "Lao Tzu's troops have not crossed the river yet, which one dares to blow up the bridge?" Dog's day, Lao Tzu fought bloody battles with the Jews, but they were going to be sold by their own people, and you guys even blew up all the soldiers of our 2O Army! ”

The remnants of the 2O Army also scolded the vanguard of the 1st Division together: "We fought a vicious battle for several days, blocked the Jews for you for two days, and now that you have crossed the river, we will blow up the bridge!" It's really only about yourself and not about others! ”

Gonkar is also a military commander no matter what he says, but he is several levels older than the head of the first division, and this military lord jumped to his feet, and he stood on the pontoon bridge, and he didn't dare to blow up the bridge if he gave the head of the vanguard a few dares.

As a result, the pontoon bridge was not blown up, and as a result, before the remnants of the 2O Army had completely crossed the river, Ubolevich's cavalry was killed, and the pontoon bridge was captured without much effort.

And no one could have imagined that it was this small and inconspicuous pontoon bridge that caused great trouble to the Poles. Originally, according to Pilsudski's order, after the main Jewish force, the First Army should rely on the Bug River to delay the enemy's advance, so as to buy time for Pilsudski to come and encircle with the main force.

As a result, Ubolevich occupied the pontoon bridge without much difficulty, crossed the river quickly relying on the pontoon bridge, and quickly gained a foothold on the other side of the river. This made Pilsudski's calculations completely frustrated!

When Pilsudski received a telegram from Polsky, he learned that the Jews had really targeted his descendants, and that they had successfully crossed the river. The president panicked. M and Learwin's predictions came true, and the Jews were indeed bolder and had better appetites than he had imagined.

At this time, the 3O and 34th Divisions, as well as the 27th and 29th Divisions, were still halfway to Warsaw, and only one 2O2 mixed brigade had just arrived in Warsaw. In other words, according to the battle plan, Pilsudski should have taken the main force to Upper Mauskinia, but Pilsudski did not dare to go.

Why? It was not that there were not enough troops, at this time, Pilsudski's troops were far from enough, and he had no idea at all when he went out of the city with these 30,000 troops. In the unlikely event that the Jews were on Maukinia with a false shot, only a feint, the real main force was waiting for him in ambush halfway. Isn't there no return?

Pilsudski did not dare to move, so he could only urge the 3O, 34th, 27th, and 29th Divisions to hurry up to join him, and on the other hand, he strictly ordered Polsky to conduct fire reconnaissance, ordering him to find out whether the enemy on the opposite side was the main force of the Jews or a small feint force.

When Polsky received this order, he was a little crying and laughing, but he had no choice but to do it. Soon he organized a sizable fire reconnaissance, and the battle of annihilation in Shangma Uquinia began! (To be continued......)
