Foch was very dissatisfied with Major General Gaspar's appearance, and he could not understand why the Major General could not handle even a little thing. At that time, the Americans' Rainbow Division was besieged by eight or nine divisions of the Red Army, and they all held out for nearly 10 days, while Gaspar's troops, which were more numerous, cried out as soon as they encountered the enemy.

Gaspar's appearance made Foch feel ashamed, and as a proud Frenchman, the old man felt that he had the right and obligation to help Gaspar regain his lost sense of honor.

"Sue Sù Gaspar, his troops must hold out for two more days, and in two days I will take Warsaw!"

Foch's reply was a bit inexplicable, and he asked Gaspar to hold out for two more days, but the reason why he asked Gaspar to do so was not that the old man was going to rescue Gaspar, but that the old man thought that Warsaw would be captured in two days. But can the occupation of Warsaw relieve Gaspar? This logical relationship doesn't make sense!

Foch felt that the logic was not at all wrong, as long as his main force occupied Warsaw and annihilated the recalcitrant Belarusian Front, the Red Army besieging Gaspar should know to take it as soon as it was good.

The old man thought that at that time it was the best policy for the Red Army to run away with their tails between their legs, otherwise? Otherwise he would not mind teaching the Red Army another lesson.

The old man has such self-confidence, in his words, if you don't fight the Russians, you don't know how weak the Russians are! Probably in his eyes, neither Tukhachevsky nor Ubolevich is a lamb to be slaughtered, and it is not vulnerable at all.

Yes, Foch was very unimpressed with his opponents, having been a soldier all his life, and the old man, who was already in his sixties, was promoted to marshal step by step. And what were the military ranks of Tukhachevsky and Ubolevich in tsarist times? It's just a battalion commander and a company commander. By slapping the Bolsheviks' sycophants. Only by licking the stinky feet of the red bandits did he become promoted to a wealthy man. What's the real thing?

Foch didn't put a young man like Tukhachevsky in the corner of his eyes at all, and the proud and equally stubborn old French man thought that the real military strategist had to be a man of his age, what could a milky hairy child do? In his opinion, with Tukhachevsky's ability, at most he can be a company commander, a corps commander? It's just a joke!

Foch looked down on Khachevsky, and based on the experience of this encounter, he also despised the Red Army, which he saw as a group of crappy partisans. What can the guerrillas do? Not a match for his regular army at all!

Anyway, Foch was very inflated at that time, and in his eyes he only had Warsaw, and even he felt that the Russians were the best copy of the military exploits given to him by God, and he could brush it as much as he wanted!

Unfortunately, the old Frenchman was too careless and careless to be aware of the impending crisis that was about to befall him and his troops.

Ubolevich will not give Gaspar another two days at all, in fact, not a day. Sensing that the main forces of the Entente attack on Warsaw did not have the slightest intention of turning back to rescue Gaspar, Ubolevich threw all the reserves into the battlefield and crushed Gaspar's troops in one go!

At 11 p.m. on October 25, Gaspar crouched in his division headquarters, shouting in vain into the field phone. It's all bad news, and positions are falling everywhere. The numbers on the casualty reports are staggering. The previously proud Gallic rooster had to send a final telegram to Foch in an almost humiliating tone:

"Your Excellency the Field Marshal, my troops have been attacked by an enemy ten times their size, the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties in bloody battles, I am in desperate need of reinforcements, and my troops simply cannot hold out for another 24 hours! For France's sake, come to our rescue! ”

When Foch received this telegram, his face was rather ugly, for after another day and a night of storming Warsaw, the old man found that the city was not so easy to take. The Reds' defenses were crumbling, but every time he knocked the damned opponent out with his punches, and when he was just about to make a declaration of victory, the damned enemy would bounce back like a tumbler and continue to fight him.

Foch's troops were exhausted by the back and forth, and this tragic mode of operation was completely different from the positional warfare they had encountered before, after all, the positional warfare on the Western Front still had a clear battle line and a clearly defined control area. And the street fighting that broke out in Warsaw, it can be said that the battlefield is everywhere, every street, not a single alley, even every house and every ruin is a battlefield, and there is no place in this damned city that is safe!

Foch saw with his own eyes that his young men attacked ten times for the sake of a corridor, and for this purpose a whole company of soldiers was encumbered, and when the few remaining soldiers of this company finally occupied the entire corridor and were ready to celebrate the victory, the last of the Red Army's explosives that had not been breathed disappeared with a loud bang, and the last survivors of the company and the porous corridor disappeared together.

Foch was particularly angry at the Red Army's stubborn fighting, and roared more than once: "This is the most shameful way of fighting, and a real soldier should fight in the open, like a gentleman in a duel...... And not like a leper dog covered in mud, he will only hide in a dirty garbage heap and sneak up on his opponent...... Shameful Russians, who have lost the last of their dignity and have become veritable little hooligans......"

But the old man's roaring and whining had no effect on the situation of the war, Tukhachevsky did not care at all what the old man was saying or complaining about behind the times, the genius marshal only wanted to buy more time now, he only wanted to make sure that Warsaw was still in his hands until Ubolevich annihilated Gaspar's troops.

Therefore, he did not mind talking about hooligan tactics to be more vivid, using conventional or not-so-conventional means to attack and stop the Allied armies. Even Tukhachevsky regretted a little, he should not have built any defensive line on the outskirts of Warsaw before, it would be a waste at all, if the men and horses lost on the outskirts of Warsaw were directly put in the city to play hooligans, not to mention holding on for three or five days, and then doubling the time is no problem!

Of course, if Foch knew that Tukhachevsky had such a hooligan, it is estimated that the old man would be so angry that he would have suffered a stroke. But now the old man is not far from a stroke, and the battle in Warsaw has become a tug-of-war. Heavy casualties. And Gaspar in the back dropped the chain again. He was already on his knees begging for reinforcements.

Although Foch didn't know how many enemies that he had encountered, so that he was forced to do this virtue, he really couldn't help but rescue, and if he let a division's army be annihilated and not save him, those damned reporters would definitely seize the opportunity to hack him out!

But how many men were sent to rescue Gaspar? The attack on Warsaw was a huge crater, which involved the vast majority of his forces, so should the reserves be transferred in the exact opposite direction at this time?

After pondering for a long time, Foch gritted his teeth. The order was given to send out three divisions of reserves to rescue Gaspar. And these three divisions are exactly the troops of Seibert, whom Tukhachevsky did not eat before.

Of course, in fact, the three divisions of Seibert at this time only existed on paper, or that Seibert only had the numbers of the three divisions on hand. Previously, his troops were surrounded by Tukhachevsky, the battle was also fierce, and the casualties were not small, and two regiments were also transferred to support Gaspar before, after the elimination of seven, seven, eighty, eight

So after receiving Foch's order, Seibert was very opinionated. The reserve of the coalition forces is not only his "three divisions", but also a French division and a British division. The fairest thing to do is for each of the three families to have a division. But Foch is good, let them Americans go to fight, but let his own people stay to rest, it's too infuriating!

So why did Foch arrange it this way? Is it really that he favors one over the other? Objectively speaking, no. The reason why Foch asked the Americans to rescue Gaspar was very simple, that is, the old man felt that this rescue mission was relatively simple, and it was more appropriate to let the Americans who had been damaged in strength go. The British and French divisions left behind were more combat-effective, and he was ready to use them on the blade, in fact, he was also engaged in siege operations, so to speak, Foch was actually still taking care of the Yankees.

It's a pity that Seibert didn't appreciate it, and the old man's starting point was wrong from the beginning. He subconsciously underestimated the field combat capability of the Baltic Front and the East Prussian People's Liberation Army, thinking that Seibert's visit was just an armed parade, and that as soon as Seibert's army arrived, he would be able to scare away the Russian partisans in minutes.

I have to say that the old man was really wrong, and his good intentions sent Seibert's troops into the tiger's mouth, and this is also the root of the total passivity behind the director.

On the morning of 26 October, when Seibert's troops came into contact with Ubolevich's blocking forces and exchanged fire, the American general felt that something was wrong, first of all, the movement in the direction of the encirclement was wrong, and Gaspar's troops were so quiet that they could hardly hear any gunfire, and the absence of gunfire probably meant that they were finished; Secondly, Seibert felt that the troops that were blocking him head-on were very strong, and although the two sides only had a brief tentative exchange of fire, the opponent's firepower and determination to fight were very strong, and there was a feeling that he was pushed back head-on.

You know, Seibert has not fought with the Red Army, when he was surrounded by the Belarusian regiments before, although the battle was also very fierce, but the Red Army left him with the feeling of personal heroism, he believed that the Red Army soldiers were not afraid of bloodshed and sacrificed their will to fight very strong, and did not feel that this army had any strengths.

Let's put it this way, in Seibert's eyes, the Red Army looked particularly tragic, and they could only compensate for the weakness of firepower with physical strength.

And now, the Baltic Front encountered by Seibert is different, the Red Army has maintained a consistently high level in terms of spirit and will, and the firepower has also followed, such a unit is very tough, so tough that Seibert is a little frightened!

He wrote in his diary: "My troops have encountered a different kind of red bandits, and they have caused great trouble to my young men, and even my chief of staff, Colonel Emerson, joked that if every red bandit had such fighting power, then we would probably not be able to escape the fate of being surrounded and annihilated......"

Maybe Seibert was in the mood to write this as a joke or a joke, but two days later, when he was really surrounded by people, he couldn't laugh at all.

On the first day, after a tentative assault, Seibert sent a telegram to Foch, detailing his findings and pointing out the fact that Gaspar's forces might have been destroyed. However, for the update on Seibert's briefing. Foch didn't take it too seriously. He lectured Seibert in an unquestioning tone. Sue Sù Gaspar still held on, ordering him to complete the task without compromise.

Then the question arises, is Gaspar really still holding on? Hehe, later historians debated this issue very much, and American scholars believed that Foch made a mistake, that the old man was stubborn, and that he refused or did not care about any opinion of American soldiers.

According to the conclusions of the American study, Gaspar was annihilated on October 25. It's over! Foch's order to relieve Seibert of a troop that no longer exists is simply absurd and an unforgivable mistake!

Anyway, the Americans put all the responsibility for the defeat of the battle on Foch's head, openly and secretly signaling that the old French marshal just looked down on the United States and American soldiers, and was an old stubborn and old fool! They felt unworthy of Seibert's brainless boss and felt that Seipert was not responsible for the subsequent failures.

However, the French completely disagreed with the conclusions of the Americans, and they cited all kinds of evidence that Gaspar had been holding his ground, repelling the Russian attacks again and again. Not only did it not end on October 25. In fact, Gaspar held out until October 30, when Seibert was crushed and annihilated. The valiant Gaspar and his boys are still resisting.

And this fully proves that there is nothing wrong with Foch's orders, and if Gaspar is stubbornly resisting, why not save these strong and brave warriors?

The French's conclusion was agreed by some British historians, because at that time Gaspar was accompanied by brave and fearless British soldiers, and this supreme honor also had a share of the British!

So the conclusion of the French was completely contrary to that of the Americans, and they believed that the reason why the battle became the way it was later was because of Seibert's mistake and the fact that the Americans were quite problematic in their combat effectiveness, and that they were surrounded and wiped out by a "handful" Russian Red Army, which is simply a shame!

Of course, the most important arguments for the conclusions of the French are derived from the memoirs of Major General Gaspar and some of the French and British officers who took part in that battle, who, as the generals of the defeated army, naturally tried to absolve themselves of their responsibilities, so whether their words were reliable enough, only God knows!

It is precisely because of the lack of God's great testimony that this war of words is constantly being ridiculed, anyway, Britain and France are one set of arguments, and the Americans are another, and no one can convince anyone, as if this question is the unsolved mystery of a new world.

Is this really a difficult puzzle to solve, though? Actually, no, the answer has always been there, except that the God who has this answer is called Ubolevich, and as a Russian, the Americans, the French, and the British arrogantly ignore his testimony.

In fact, it was not only Ubolevich's testimony that the Entente ignored then, and later on, but also what Ubolevich had done in that battle. According to Entente historians, in the first great collision between the righteous free world and evil communism, the evil Red Napoleon saved the fate of communism at a critical moment. The elimination of Gaspar's forces opened the way, and then gradually encroached on Foch, which had established a great military advantage, and led the righteous world to shake hands with the evil communist devil.

In any case, the Entente bloc put all the credit and praise on Tukhachevsky's head, believing that Tukhachevsky, as the commander-in-chief of the Red Army, commanded the battle, and all the credit went to Tukhachevsky, who single-handedly lifted this genius marshal to the altar.

The problem is that they simply did not carefully study the Soviet description of the Second Battle of Warsaw. According to the history of the Red Army, there was no commander-in-chief of the Red Army at the beginning of this campaign, because first of all, Tukhachevsky was not the commander-in-chief of the Red Army at that time, he was only the commander of a front army that participated in this battle, and his front army really could not be considered good.

In fact, it was not Tukhachevsky who later took charge of the situation according to the orders of the Politburo and the Military Commission, and this genius commander had to "condescend" to Frunze, who was the supreme commander of the Red Army at the end of the campaign, because he had lost too many points because of his previous poor performance.

Moreover, the Politburo and the Military Commission spoke highly of Ubolevich, who turned the tide of the war with a stroke of genius, and based on his appearance, after the end of the campaign, he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner and the weapon of revolutionary honor, and in the thirties he was posthumously awarded the Order of Lenin and the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

It can be said that the stroke of genius that caused the turning point of the war situation did not have much to do with Tukhachevsky at all. However, the military historians of the Entente countries did not know the war history of the Red Army, and only relied on their own imagination to make nonsense, what credibility and value can such a text have?

But how could the bricks of the righteous world go wrong? Even if they knew that they were wrong, they would not repent, and they still insisted that it was Tukhachevsky, and there was no other capable person in Russia except Tukhachevsky!

Of course, we can't deal with a bunch of brain-dead and crazy people, just ignore them. Returning to the very first question, what do Ubolevich's memories say about this crucial turning point? (To be continued......)
