In the busy office of the 1st Panzer Division, the receivers of several radio stations were busy sitting next to the machine, while Guderian was checking several important pieces of information.

His adjutant approached him and handed him a copy of the paper with the seal of the Wehrmacht General Headquarters, on which there was also a trace of the blue seal of the General Command of the SS: "General Guderian! The newly formed 3rd SS Panzer Division is now under your command, and here is Wen Jiàn. ”

"Ferick's troops?" Guderian frowned and glanced at his adjutant, "I raised this issue with General Brauchitsch, it would be unwise to hand over the latest Leopard tanks to the newly formed Panzer Division, not to mention the lack of training in this unit. ”

"But we have absolute loyalty to the Führer!, General. At the door, a middle-aged man walked up to Guderian as he spoke, and stood up and saluted: "Long live the Führer! Good evening, commander! ”

"Long live the Führer!" Guderian replied: "My words mean nothing else. Your army lacks training, recruits make up more than half of it, and it is very dangerous for you to go into battle now, in my opinion. ”

"The Führer has his own arrangements. Checkmate. Flick replied solemnly: "He prepared 'wolf knights' for the SS." These soldiers can complete the task in the most chaotic situation! My division is not afraid of any sacrifice, please leave the most important task to me. ”

Guderian had also heard a little about the wolf knight, which was a joint German and Soviet cooperation project to train soldiers. I heard that the soldiers trained in it were really fighting, and it can be said that they are very powerful.

Guderian sighed: "Since the Führer has already done this, I will trust and support the Führer's decision." ”

He walked to the sand table and pointed to a small village on the edge of the forest: "This area was occupied by my division in the morning, and at that time I was short of troops, and I thought that the army group had made a mistake, but now I know the reason." ”

Ferick followed Guderian and walked to the edge of the sand table, looking at it seriously.

Guderian drew a circle around the village with his hand: "As soon as the war begins, your division must attack and take here, and the scouts found a Polish infantry regiment near here, well equipped and with some tanks. ”

"Is it just my division to attack and take this place?" said Feric, staring at the small village on the sandbox, his tone with a hint of disdain.

Guderian pursed his lips while Ferick didn't look up, he really wanted to scold: "Are you an idiot?" "I'll let you have a division up in a village? That's a village! Not Warsaw! This Ferick was obviously promoted by the SS, and his loyalty to the Führer should be high, but when it comes to fighting, he can only be a fool.

There was no way to do this, and in order to attack Poland and defend the western frontier with troops, the police force and the SS units were expanded, not to mention the Wehrmacht, and last week the Führer personally promoted 4 corps commanders and 17 division commanders, many of whom had never heard of before are now commanders of a unit.

The consequences of the rapid expansion were beginning to be felt, many units lacked equipment and training, and although the Wehrmacht had a strong background, only a third of the soldiers in a platoon could now be called elite. Of course, even so, the combat effectiveness of the Wehrmacht is still the highest in this era, and there is no one.

"General Ferick, this village is just a www.biquge.info of the Pen Fun Pavilion, and your troops are responsible for attacking the town behind this village, and then attack this small plain to cover the 44th Infantry Division on your flank to cross the river and encircle the enemy. ”

"Is there time to ask for it?" said Ferric a question that he remembered as professional, "Are we standing by where we are after we have entered the plain?"

Guderian pointed around the small plain: "According to the information provided by our intelligence officers, there are a large number of Polish cavalry in this vicinity, and I need you to hold the position, of course, if you have completed these combat objectives, you can continue to attack, as for where to attack - to this invisible position in the sand table!"

"Understood! The SS will get the job done. Ferick said.

According to common sense, Ferick was indeed not a good front-line commander, he was a major in logistics during the First World War, never led a soldier, and later retired home due to the downsizing of the Wehrmacht. Later, however, he joined the Greater German Party and became an SS soldier.

There were very few high-ranking officers from the Wehrmacht in the SS, and few real commanders could be found - so Ferick, a major from the First World War, became a sought-after talent and was appointed commander of the 3rd Waffen-SS Infantry Division. Of course, it has now been upgraded to the 3rd SS Panzer Division.

But if you want to say that this person has no skills at all, you are very wrong. Because he was an officer in the logistics department, he was very familiar with the logistics supply of the German army, and also attached great importance to equipment replenishment and troop supplies. The 3rd SS Panzer Division was able to get enough supplies and new tanks, all of which were the result of the division commander's running up and down.

The adjutant walked over at this time, holding a copy of the document in his hand, and handed it to Guderian with a solemn face: "Commander, the news just came! 45 minutes ago, the Führer had declared a full-scale war on Poland!"

"How did you get the news?" Guderian pulled through the message and read it carefully.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs first submitted an official declaration of war to Poland, and the General Headquarters verified the information, which was sent after the Führer's office, so it was almost an hour later than the declaration of war. The adjutant explained.

Guderian frowned, and pressed the text in his hand to the wooden edge of the sand table: "Isn't this a joke? It's an hour late! What if the Poles attack first? ”

"Call the Air Force! Let them send reconnaissance planes!" Guderian looked at his adjutant and said, "I want information on the movement of the Poles." ”

"I'm afraid it's too late, General. An Air Force liaison officer came over from the radio: "The Air Force took off 37 minutes before the start of the war, 300 bombers bombed the scheduled military targets under the escort of 170 fighters, and they asked the army reconnaissance planes not to take off to avoid accidental damage." ”

"Oh my God!" Guderian sighed: "We have been preparing an attack plan for half a year, and it only took 30 minutes for these fools to mess it all up!"

"Send a notice to all the troops that can be reached! The whole army will attack at once!" Guderian ordered in a loud voice, "General Ferick, you rush back to the division headquarters." The offensive begins immediately! Attack the enemy's positions according to the predetermined plan! Immediately!"

"Yes, General!" Ferrick saluted, then turned to leave. Guderian's command was in chaos.

At the same time, there was chaos at the Führer's residence, with numerous phone calls coming into the Führer's office, telegram after telegram.

"Secretary Sindra! Find the Führer's call! It's from Army Group A's command, and General Rundstedt asks if the declaration of war he has received is true. ...... Understood...... "A secretary hurriedly walked out.

"General Brauchitsch's telephone that the air force had attacked Poland ahead of schedule, and that the whole plan had been disrupted! He asked the Führer to question Catherine at once what was the state of his air force. Another secretary reported loudly.

They asked if the news of our declaration of war on Poland was true. ”

"Give me the command of Army Group D. Accardo walked anxiously around the room, "Ask General Modell!When will his troops start attacking?"

"My Führer, Army Group D has just called, they are on the offensive, and General Guderian's 1st Panzer Army has crossed the German-Polish border and is attacking on its intended target. "Sindra delivered the most wanted news from the Führer in time.

"How's going on in Prussia?" asked Accardo again.

"Prussia's Army Group K has also begun to attack, they are mainly infantry units, and they will not advance too quickly. It's their telegram!" A German liaison officer walked in behind Sindra, placing a telegram on Accardo's desk.

"What nonsense!" said Accardo with some exasperation, "I should have gone to the Wehrmacht Headquarters half an hour ago! ”

Even the German army's meticulous and efficient chain of command was so chaotic in the hour before the start of the war, let alone the Polish commanders. At this time, there was only one thing they could know, their troops had been attacked, and most of the area was reporting that they had been fiercely attacked by the Luftwaffe.

"Hey, hey, let's be clear! Where did the German planes bomb it? Where was the airfield attacked? Did the losses be great?" A Polish general held the phone and angrily asked his panicked subordinates on the other side of the phone: "Call all the airfields that can be contacted! Take off all the fighters to meet you!"

"Report! Sir! The airfield directly under the army group called, the German bombers destroyed the airfield, 97 planes of various types were destroyed, and the airfield could not take off fighters to meet it. An adjutant reported loudly.

"What about the border, order the border troops to strike back at once!" ordered the Polish general in a loud voice.

"Yes!" replied the adjutant with a salute.

At this moment, the 3rd SS Panzer Division was still on its way to the Polish border, unaware that the Polish army was gathering and preparing to launch a counterattack against them.
