Petrovsky had been observing the movements of the German army, and when the enemy on the northern front did not react, he was half of his waist cold, thinking that this was the rhythm of GAMEOVER. At one point, he even had doubts about whether Beloborodov really carried out the mission according to his request, and almost broke the radio silence to ask Beloborodov for clarification.

Fortunately, after some tossing, the German army on the northern front finally moved, and at that moment Petrovsky really breathed a long sigh of relief. He immediately ordered: "Tell the commandos to immediately force the Bug River to build a strong bridgehead, and prepare the engineer battalion to erect the pontoon bridge as quickly as possible!" ”

With all that said, Petrovsky returned to the map, for his task was still very difficult, and his troops were not just done crossing the Bug River and could run away in great strides. In fact, there were still a considerable number of German troops on the eastern Ukrainian-East Prussian border, and these German Army Group North, which had previously assisted the German Army Group Center in attacking East Poland, had completed its combat mission, and one part of it was advancing with Army Group Center in the direction of Belarusian Lithuania, and the other part was moving closer to East Prussia.

In order to enter East Prussia safely, these German troops had to be taken care of, and for Petrovsky, judging from the prisoners and the intercepted telegrams, this group of German troops on the East Prussian-East Polish border was not particularly numerous, and the main task was only to secure the logistics lines of Army Group Center. As long as he moves fast enough, he should be able to cross their blockade and enter East Prussia.

Of course, Petrovsky also knew. Wanted to pass through the German lines. The little force he had at hand was not enough. The cooperation of Beloborodov's armored cluster is also needed, in other words, after the second phase of the "prison break" operation, the role of the armored cluster becomes more and more important. Whether they can get rid of the enemy's entanglement and go north quickly is crucial!

Belorodov also understood this truth, so after teaching the first German reinforcements a hard lesson, he ordered his troops to immediately prepare for the transfer, and scattered the reconnaissance troops as soon as possible. Keep a close eye on the movements of the enemy's follow-up reinforcements.

A day later, when the German garrison from the north (one regiment plus two regiments of the Western Polish Imperial Allied Army) appeared north of Shedrce, Beloborodov knew it was time to act.

"We will destroy the enemy to the west, and then the main forces will be hidden," Beloborodov explained on the map, "and then send small forces along the railway to make a feint towards Mordi, making the appearance of fleeing in the direction of Belarus." Having led the main forces of the enemy to the east, our main forces again captured Sedelce. ”

Beloborodov said confidently: "At that time, the main forces of the enemy will inevitably return, and the feint troops will immediately turn around and head north. Go to occupy Vangelów via Sukhořebre and make sure the bridge is intact! And our main forces were after the rapid capture of Shedelce and the attraction of the enemy's main forces back. Destruction of the railway line and bridges between Shedelce and Sukhozhebre to ensure that the enemy's main forces could not return north. After completing this task, our main forces move westward, leading the enemy's troops in circles in the area east of Warsaw, and we can consider fighting one or two small-scale annihilation battles to attract more enemies to the west of the Levitz River east of Warsaw, and then go west to Wengrove to cross the Levitz River, and then destroy the bridge at Wengrove and throw the enemy's pursuers on the west bank of the Levitz River! ”

Speaking of this, Beloborodov smiled and said: "At that time, we can safely and boldly go north to join Comrade Petrovsky, and then easily cross the Bug River to East Prussia!" ”

Beloborodov's battle plan was not complicated, to put it bluntly, it was to fully mobilize the enemy's main forces to the south, and then through a series of maneuverable operations in Guò, to bring the enemy's main forces to the west bank of the Levitz River, while he destroyed the bridges as much as possible until he completed the crossing at Vangelów and threw off the enemy.

Of course, this plan is easy to say, but it is still not easy to really implement, after all, the enemy is not a fool, and whether he will obediently follow Beloborodov's baton is a big question. And even if the enemy is successfully mobilized to the west bank of the river, this maneuver space is not particularly ideal to be honest, how to intersperse and swim in the cracks of the enemy is a test of Beloborodov's command art and luck, the slightest mistake, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe.

However, Beloborodov is very confident, the previous battles in Sukhozhebre and Sedelce made him see through the essence of the remaining German troops, compared with the German army on the front line, there is a significant gap, as for the Western Polish Imperial Allied Army, this group of guys is simply a joke, as long as they are scared twice, they will collapse.

In Beloborodov's view, in the entire area east of Warsaw, the only reliable force that the Germans could really use to encircle and suppress him was no more than 4 regiments of mobile strength (the rest of the German army was entrenched in cities and communication positions), and these 4 regiments were not yet fully formed, and if it was not for the consideration of going north and crossing the defense line of Army Group North, it was necessary to preserve the living forces as much as possible, otherwise, he and Petrovsky thought that it was completely possible to step directly on the Germans, although they did not have an advantage in strength, But the Panzers were much stronger than the remaining German troops, and it was really possible to win.

Therefore, don't look at Beloborodov, although he only had a reinforced battalion of troops, but he concentrated almost all of Petrovsky's armored forces, and captured ten German tanks along the way by capturing Sukhozhebre and Sedelce, which means that the more power he has at hand, the stronger the strength. Therefore, he was fully confident in dealing with the enemy, and said that the enemy's strength to encircle and suppress him was only 10 regiments, and more than half of them were Polish foot-wiping troops, so what was there to be afraid of. Even if he was unfortunately surrounded, Beloborodov was confident that he would break through with the forces at hand. Of course, for the sake of future battles, it is better to preserve strength if you can preserve it.

After another half a day, when the encirclement and suppression troops from the north of the German army arrived in Shedelce, they found that the Soviet army had disappeared, and all they were left with was a burning city. Yes, most of Shedelce was burning, and the railway station was burned. A large amount of supplies, weapons and ammunition were either reduced to ashes or fireworks were put into full bloom.

"The enemy fled in the direction of Molde!"

When the German commander learned of this information. Without even thinking about it, he ordered an immediate pursuit. And what remained in Shedelce was only a group of West Polish footcloths. The Germans will soon regret this decision. For when he had just chased to the river, he found that the railway bridge leading to Mordi had been blown up, and before he could order the sappers to build the bridge, a group of West Polish footcloths who had fled in a hurry and panting reported to him:

"Lieutenant Colonel Kopke, there are a large number of red bandits in Shedelce, and we are outnumbered and can only be forced to retreat!"

Lieutenant Colonel Koepke was stunned and asked incredulously, "How many Russians are there?" ”

"Many, much more!" The West Polish footcloth gasped and replied, "At least one regiment." And a large number of tanks, we are not opponents at all! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Koepke looked at the blown railway bridge and fell into deep thought, it was clear that he had fallen into a trap, and the enemy was probably using a small force to attract his attention, and when he was gone, he came back with a rifle, which was simply a slap in the face. He was tricked by a bunch of rude Slavic pigs.

"Turn around and return to Shedelce immediately, quick!"

There was a sudden rush of chickens and dogs jumping on the road, and the German soldiers hurriedly turned around. Then, on the orders of Lieutenant Colonel Kopke, he rushed at full speed towards Sheederce.

A few hours later, when Shedelce was in sight. Lieutenant Colonel Kopke's heart was up and down, and he was very worried that the Russians would run away again, and then he would really become a joke. However, the lieutenant colonel was a little too worried, because he could not reach Shedelce for the time being, and the lead car of his convoy was crushed with a landmine, and after a loud bang, the truck and the dozen soldiers on board were all killed in the flames.

"Damn it!"

Koepke slammed the door hard, and it was clear that the enemy had expected him to return, so he planted mines in advance, so he didn't pursue at full speed.

"Call the sappers! Mine! ”

When he said this, Koepke almost gritted his teeth, but even more gnashing of teeth was still to come, and soon after more than two hours of busy work by the sappers, he was told: "There are only three mines on the road......

These words almost made Kopke vomit blood, why? They didn't bother to bury too many mines to scare him, and it took him a long time to catch his breath and command hatefully: "Keep going!" ”

By the time the Germans "recovered" Schedelce again, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, and the German soldiers, who had been running around all day, were tired and hungry, and after entering the city, they almost sat on the ground and refused to get up.

But the Lieutenant Colonel Kopke could not order the troops to rest, but asked urgently: "In which direction did the Russians flee?" ”

"To the west, along the road towards Cotton!"

But Koepke didn't believe it, because he was getting closer and closer to Warsaw, and Warsaw was not Shedelce, where a large number of garrisons were stationed, and small partisans of the Russians were there to deliver food. Are the Russians crazy?

Lieutenant Colonel Koepke thought that this was still a ploy by the Russians, that is, they wanted to divert his main force to the west, and then concocted the same way that his troops had left in Shedelce.

Having learned the lesson of the last time, Koepke did not rush to order a pursuit, but ordered the reconnaissance troops to immediately go out of the city to search the area around Shedelce and dig out the hidden Russian partisans!

"What if the enemy does attack Cotton?"

Koepke replied confidently: "There is no such possibility, Major Strauss's troops are massing in Minsk (a small city east of Warsaw, not Minsk in Belarus), and will soon sweep east along the road, and if the Russians really go in that direction, they will be trapped!" ”

Koepke was full of confidence, but he could never have imagined that at the very moment when he said this, Beloborodov's troops were sweeping away the German garrison in Cotton.

About three hours later, Koepke was scolded by his superiors and ordered to immediately assemble his troops and march in the direction of Cotton, so as to catch the Red Army guerrillas who were committing crimes.

Poor Mr. Lieutenant Colonel had to wake up the troops from a half-asleep dream, and after some tossing and turning, they finally set out at 4 a.m., and after a three-hour "arduous journey" the Germans, who were so tired that they were yawning, could finally enter Cotton for breakfast.

But what awaited the Germans was not breakfast, but a mess of Cotton, where the pitiful garrison was torn apart by Beloborodov in minutes. Even more tragic is that the local train station was also completely destroyed. Anyway, what is in front of Kopke is a mess.

"Damn it! In which direction did the Russians go? ”

What made Mr. Lieutenant Colonel even more angry was. Some said that the Red Army went in the direction of Kavushen, some said that the Red Army fled south, and some swore that the Red Army had gone north.

In any case, the information provided by each person is different, and according to their calculations, unless the Red Army is scattered on the spot, it will not make sense at all. Kopke, on the other hand, did not believe that this group of enemies would collapse automatically, believing that this group of enemies was not an ordinary partisan army. It is not the kind of stragglers who fight in a small fight in another place with one shot, but a regular army with a clear purpose, and these Russians are obviously attacking the traffic line, and several successive attacks on Shedelce and Cotton are probably for this purpose.

Moreover, he believes that the enemy may have a certain strength, so that it will not automatically collapse before it meets the German army, not to mention that they fought well before, I am afraid that their morale is high, how can they automatically collapse?

Lieutenant Colonel Koepke thought it was a trick played by the enemy to confuse him. It's the same as the previous sound. He examined the map and thought, "The enemy will never collapse by itself." Their mission is to attack the logistics lines of our army, and now that Shedelce and Korton have been destroyed by them, the next step is that they can only attack Minsk or Kavusin, of which Cavusin is the most likely! ”

Why would he judge that? The reason is very simple, there are Major Strauss's troops in Minsk, and they are too close to Warsaw, and the partisans are afraid that they will not dare to approach, and Kavushin is far from Minsk, and there is also a distance from Cotton, and there are not too many defenders, so it is definitely a big fat in the eyes of the partisans.

So Lieutenant Colonel Koepke immediately gave the order: "Hurry up and march to Kavushin immediately!" ”

So is Belorodov really in Kavushin? It was certainly impossible, Beloborodov did not have any interest in Kavishin, it was too dangerous to continue in the direction of Warsaw, and it would be quite troublesome to run into the main German forces coming out of Warsaw. Therefore, Beloborodov did not continue westward at all, but resolutely ran north, directly to Vingrove.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Beloborodov's armored group rushed to Vingrove, and the small city was captured by feints at 9 a.m. All Beloborodov needs to do is cross the river easily and blow up the bridge over the Levitz River.

"The movement of the engineer troops must be fast, we don't have much time to gain, once the enemy reacts, their heavy army cluster will soon go north again, once we are caught up, we are in danger!"

Beloborodov did not make too many stops in Vangelov, rested for only an hour, refueled the armored forces, and immediately continued north. In the north, Petrovsky is anxiously waiting for him!

Yes, at this time Petrovsky took advantage of the gap in the German defenses to force his way across the Bug River and set up a strong bridgehead five kilometers east of Vyshkov, while his vanguard was attacking Chikchanka.

"Sue Sùmazov, he only has half an hour, and after half an hour he must take the Qiqiang card, there are no conditions to talk about!" Petrovsky replied categorically.

The front-line troops encountered a little trouble in the attack on Chiqiangka, and the remaining German troops were very tenacious, and these Nazi bandits did not let an inch give the Red Army an unusual headache. And for Petrovsky, in order to successfully get out, Chichanka must be occupied, and it must be taken quickly. Because they had to force the Narev River to cross later, if they had been delayed too much, the Germans from Ostruf and Verkhnia and Vyshkuw would easily surround them, and it would have been a dead end.

"Is there any news from Belorodov?" Petrovsky asked nervously.

Now he was in great need of the help of the armored forces, and only when the armored forces were returned to his hands could Petrovsky have the confidence to force his way across the Narev River, and now he was worried that Beloborodov would be surrounded by enemy encirclement troops.

"Comrade Beloborodov has just sent a telegram that his armored unit has thrown off its pursuers and has arrived in Vangelów and is rapidly heading north!"

This news made Petrovsky a little more relaxed, he looked at his watch, and muttered: "The time card is very accurate, and the next thing should be very smooth, right?" ”

It's a pity that the good luck on Beloborodov's side seems to have run out, and not long after leaving Vengrove, he was discovered by German reconnaissance planes, which means that he has been exposed, and the Germans will soon turn around and catch up!

The worst thing is not here, the worst thing is that the German attack planes and bombers that took off from Warsaw quickly flew towards Beloborodov, although there were not many planes, but the air strikes still caused him certain losses, and most importantly, slowed down his march!

"What a fucking damn thing!" Beloborodov burst into a foul mouth and asked anxiously: "How far is it!" ”

"Twenty kilometers."

Beloborodov said angrily: "I am asking how far the enemy's pursuers are!" ”

"We've arrived in Wengrove, and it's said they're building a bridge to cross the river."

Beloborodov regretted it a little, he should have put a little blocking force in Wengrove before, at least he could make trouble for the enemy to cross the river, but now on the flat Polish plain, it may be quite difficult to stop the enemy...... (To be continued......)
