ACT318: Poland did not perish

On December 21, 1938, Germany's native government on the moon suddenly announced that they would be invited by the Czechoslovak government to include it in its "protectorate".

Just one hour after the news was announced, the German army, which had been stationed in the Sudetenland for less than three months, quickly took action. The 1.6 million "pioneer regiments" laid down their agricultural tools and crossed the border in just a few hours, and hundreds of thousands of Czech troops occupied the entire Czech territory without the slightest resistance.

By the time the Polish troops occupying Ceshin Silesia reacted, they were already surrounded by Germany!

There is no doubt that this German invasion was premeditated! You must know that with the current communication technology, there is a message delay of at least 3 days between Saturn and the Earth, which means that the German army on the Titan side has long known that the mainland will issue a declaration on this day, and the pioneer regiment armed to the teeth overnight has become a serious Wehrmacht.

However, just when the Polish government naively thought that this very sudden action of the German army was only an attempt to hide from them, so that they could eat the remaining Czech territories alone. The "German tanks", which had just passed through the territory of the Czech Republic, rushed directly in the direction of their Poland at full speed, as if they could not brake!

At 3 a.m. local time on the 22nd, Titan ushered in the unique "all-night period" of habitable satellites because of its entry into the shadow range of Saturn. The entire surface of the planet will be plunged into darkness during this period, and among the Titan who are also shrouded in the shadow of the main star is the Titan of the Poles.

Taking advantage of the more than nine hours of the night, the Germans stationed on Titan began their long-planned invasion.

First, the German naval fleet took the initiative to attack, and under the guidance of its own submarines, annihilated all the Polish patrol fleets they were tracking in space. Subsequently, the army used all the transport ships on hand to send 44 divisions and 886,000 troops to Titan at once before the Poles could react.

Wait until Titan flies out of Saturn's shadow. The Germans have already set fire to every inch of Poland with the flames of war!

Like most countries with colonies on this plane, Poland is incompletely exploited for Titan. The planet is the second largest habitable moon in the known universe after Ganymede, and is even slightly larger than Mercury, which is far more than Poland needs with a total population of less than 50 million.

Therefore, after the great migration, in order to facilitate the governance of the country, the Polish government chose the main settlement in the plain area in the east of the main continent, and the overall layout of the actual control of the territory was both flat and concentrated, which also saved a lot of things for the German army that attacked on a large scale!

Before the start of the war, the Polish army, which was blindly and gullible to the British and French, was poorly prepared. Their generals were disdainful of defense, believing that they were strong enough to launch a "strong" counterattack after an enemy invasion. In the plains they had specially chosen, the Polish cavalry would be a lingering nightmare for the enemy infantry!

And in space, Poland's schoolboy fleet, which is adapted to local conditions, can also take advantage of the complex environment of Saturn's rings to make a small difference, which has been fully verified in their confrontation with the Soviet Red Navy for many years. So theoretically, no country would be willing to risk "heavy casualties" to attack them.

But reality and delusion are, after all, two lines of limited intersection, and the Polish army's defensive concept would be a reasonable idea if it was put before World War I. But by now, it's completely outdated. For this offensive, the Germans had already begun to actively prepare for the war one year ago.

Under the name of "agricultural modernization", Germany has produced thousands of armored units over the past few years. In addition to the I and II, which did not perform well on the battlefield in Spain, the new generation III and IV have also begun mass production. Unfortunately, these two mechas, which have significantly improved performance compared to their predecessors, have only been put into mass production for a short time. So the number is very limited.

Of the 2,800 mechs brought by the Pioneer Regiment, only 98 were Assault III and 211 were Support IV. Although the I and II, which account for the vast majority, were beaten out by Soviet mechs in Spain, they were enough to deal with more than 100 7TP light mechs and hundreds of other messy things in Poland.

It is worth mentioning. In Hitler's original conception, there was a very important requirement for this operation, that is, to ensure the integrity of the "prey" as much as possible. Germany needed Polish resources and a full set of industrial facilities. Only in this way can you do your best to transform what you have grabbed into your own power.

Therefore, Hitler was very inclined to the "blitzkrieg" model proposed by Guderian. Mainly the army and air force, which have relatively little destructive power, concentrated their forces, especially their armored forces, and launched large-scale surprise attacks to catch the enemy by surprise.

Therefore, in this combat concept, a strong navy is only responsible for "kicking the door" and ensuring the right to control the universe, and if they are allowed to participate in the ground attack, it is estimated that there will be nothing left after the battle.

In a battle within the atmosphere, the first step is to destroy the enemy's command and communication centers with air strikes, so as to create as much chaos as possible for the opponent and make it impossible for them to effectively assemble and deploy troops. Then, with the coordination of the tactical air force, the armored assault group quickly broke through the enemy's defense line, and carried out a rapid penetration maneuver to the deep target, dividing and encircling the enemy and annihilating them one by one.

Under the influence of this set of tactics, the German army launched a surprise attack operation of unprecedented scale!

The German Navy wiped out the Polish patrol fleet on what they thought was their "home turf"! Both the German-class pocket battleships and the Admiral-Hipper-class heavy cruisers were far superior to the old battleships of the Soviets, and their maneuverability on the rings of Saturn was no worse than that of the Polish destroyers.

And in the ensuing ground battle, the Polish hussars who came and went like the wind encountered the German armored assault group that only followed you in the anal front, and the Polish army, which lacked anti-armor weapons, whether cavalry or infantry, was powerless to stop the advance of these steel monsters, not to mention the overwhelming air support above the heads of these giants!

The Luftwaffe had equipped their combat aircraft with German-made clones of the crystals, and more than 300 BF109s and JU87s were hung on the outer walls of the transport ships, with the transports' goddesses providing doppelgangers to help them break through the atmosphere alone. The "Super Paratroopers", who had made an appearance in Spain, would help them grab some of the available Polish airfields before they ran out of fuel, and the transports that arrived later would bring more bombers.

50 space warships may not be able to take care of the entire battlefield, but more than 2,000 planes can! (To be continued......)

PS: "Poland Didn't Perish" is the name of the Polish national anthem, and it can be regarded as a typical self-supporting FLAG, and it is also "to the national level"!

PS: The next update may be completed very late, and I will wait for you to see it tomorrow.
