One Hundred and Seventy 1st Armored Army

In the busy office of the 1st Armored Division, several radio transmitters and receivers were busy sitting next to the machine, while Guderian was checking several important pieces of information. (starting)

His adjutant came over and handed him a document with the seal of the General Headquarters of the Wehrmacht, strangely enough, there was a trace of the blue seal of the General Headquarters of the SS on it: "General Guderian! Just got News! The Führer ordered the formation of the 1st Tank Corps, with you as commander, General. The newly formed 3rd Panzer Division of the SS is now under your command, and here are the documents."

"Ferik's troops?" Guderian frowned and glanced at his adjutant: "I mentioned this question to General Brauchitsch, it is unwise to hand over the latest Panther tanks to the newly formed armored division options, not to mention the lack of training of this force.”

"But we have absolute loyalty to the Führer! General." At the door, a middle-aged man walked up to Guderian while talking, and stood at attention to salute: "Long live the Führer! Good evening, Commander! SS Major General Ferry Ke reports to you."

"Long live the head of state!" Guderian stood at attention and replied, "My words have no other meaning. Your army lacks training, and recruits account for more than half. I think it is very dangerous to go into battle now."

"The Führer has his own arrangements. General." Frick replied solemnly: "He has prepared 'Wolf Riders' for the SS. These soldiers can complete tasks in the most chaotic situations! My division is not afraid Any sacrifice, please entrust me with the most important task."

Guderian has also heard a little about the wolf knight. This is a cooperative project between Germany and the Soviet Union to jointly train soldiers. It is said that the soldiers trained in it are really fighting, and it can be said that they are very powerful.

Guderian sighed: "Since the head of state has already done so, I will trust and support all the decisions of the head of state."

He walked to the front of 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. I know why."

Ferik followed Guderian, walked to the edge of the sand table, and looked seriously.

Guderian drew a circle around the village with his hands: "Once the war starts, your division must attack and take this place. The scouts found a Polish infantry regiment near here, which is well equipped and has some tanks."

"Should my division just attack and take this place?" Ferik stared at the small village on the sand table, his tone seemed a little dismissive.

Guderian curled his lips when Ferik didn't look up, he really wanted to curse: "Are you an idiot?" I will let you go up a village with a teacher? That's the village! Not Warsaw! This Ferik was obviously promoted by the SS,

The loyalty to the head of state should be high, but when it comes to fighting, he can only be an idiot.

This is also impossible. In order to defend the western border while attacking Poland, the police force and SS troops have been expanded, not to mention the Wehrmacht. Last week, the head of state personally promoted 4 army commanders17 A division commander, many people who have never heard of it before are now commanders of a unit.

The consequences of rapid military expansion began to emerge. Many troops lacked equipment and training. Although the National Defense Forces had a strong family background, only one-third of the soldiers in a platoon could be called elite. Of course, even so, the combat effectiveness of the National Defense Forces is still the highest in this era, not one of them.

"General Ferrick! This village is just a starting point. Your troops are responsible for attacking the small town behind this village, and then attacking south into this small plain, covering the 44th Infantry Division on your flank to cross the river and encircle and annihilate the enemy army."

"Is there a time request?" Ferik asked a very professional question in his impression: "After our army invaded the plain, will we stay there and stand by?"

Guderian pointed to the surrounding area of ​​the small plain: "The information provided by our army's intelligence personnel is that there are a large number of Polish cavalry nearby. I need you to hold the position. Of course, if you complete these combat objectives, you can continue to attack. As for where to attack - go to a position that is invisible to this sand table!"

"Understood! The SS will definitely complete the task." Felik stood at attention and said.

According to common sense, Ferik is indeed not a good front-line commander. He was a major in charge of logistics in World War I. He never led soldiers. Later, because of the drawdown of the Wehrmacht, he retired and went home. up. But later, staying at home with nothing to do, he joined the Greater German Party, became an SS, and embarked on a path of success.

There were very few senior officers from the Wehrmacht in the SS, and it was rare to find a real commander-so Felik, a major from World War I, became a hot talent and was appointed as the third member of the Waffen SS. Commander of the Infantry Division. Of course, it has now been upgraded to the 3rd Armored Division of the SS.

But if you want to say that this person has no ability at all, you are completely wrong. Because he worked as an officer in the logistics department, he is very familiar with the German army's logistics supplies, and he also attaches great importance to equipment replenishment and troop supplies. The Third Armored Division of the SS was able to obtain enough supplies and get new tanks, all because of the division commander's running up and down.

The adjutant came over at this time, holding a document in his hand, and handed it to Guderian solemnly: "Commander, the news just came! 45 minutes ago, the head of state declared war on Poland!"

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

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs first submitted the official declaration of war to Poland, and the General Command verified the news. This document was issued by the head of state's office, so it was almost an hour later than the declaration of war." The adjutant explained.

Guderian frowned, and pressed the document in his hand on the wooden edge of the sand table: "Isn't this a joke? It was an hour late! What if the Poles attacked first? What time is it and they are still so dawdling of."

"Call the Air Force! Tell them to send out a reconnaissance plane!" Guderian looked at his adjutant and said, "I want the Polish mobilization information."

"I'm afraid it's too late, General." An Air Force liaison officer came over from the radio station: "The Air Force took off 37 minutes ago to start the war. 300 bombers were escorted by 170 fighter jets to bomb the designated military target. They asked the Army to reconnaissance Do not take off the plane to avoid accidental injury."

"My God!" Guderian sighed: "We prepared the offensive plan for half a year, and it took only 30 minutes for these idiots to mess everything up!"

"Send a notice to all the troops that can be contacted! The whole army will attack immediately!" Guderian ordered loudly: "General Felix, you rush back to the division headquarters. The attack begins immediately! Attack the enemy's position according to the scheduled plan! Immediately !"

"Yes! General!" Felix stood at attention and saluted, then turned and left. There was chaos in Guderian's headquarters.

At the same time, the residence of the head of state was also in chaos. Countless calls were made to the office of the head of state, and telegrams followed one after another.

"Secretary Syndra! Looking for the head of state's phone number! It's from the headquarters of Army Group A. General Rundstedt asked if the declaration of war he got was true....Understood!..." A secretary was anxious walked out.

"A phone call from General Brauchitsch. He said that the air force had attacked Poland in advance, and the whole plan had been 'disrupted'! He asked the head of state to question Catherine immediately and ask what was going on with his air force." Another secretary reported loudly.

"A call from the Turkish ambassador! They asked if it was true that we had declared war on Poland."

"Get me the command of Group D Army." Akado walked around the room anxiously: "Ask General Model! When will his troops start attacking?"

"My head of state, the d-group army has just called, and they have begun to attack. General Guderian's First Armored Army has crossed the German-Polish border and is attacking the intended target." Syndra sent the news that the head of state most wanted in time. .

"What's going on in Prussia?" Akado asked again.

"The Prussian Army Group K has also begun to attack. They are infantry-based troops, and their advance speed will not be too fast. This is their telegram!" A German liaison officer walked in behind Syndra and sent A telegram was placed on Akado's desk.

"This is really nonsense!" Akado said angrily: "I should have gone to the General Command of the National Defense Forces half an hour ago! As a result, I am still sitting behind my desk reading a bunch of reports from half an hour ago .”

Even with such a meticulous and efficient command system of the German army, it was so chaotic within an hour before the start of the war, let alone the commanders in Poland. At this time, there is only one thing they can know, that their troops have been attacked, and most areas are reporting that they have been violently attacked by the Luftwaffe.

"Hello? Hello? Be clear! Where did the German planes bomb? Where? The airport was attacked? Is it a big loss?" A Polish general was holding the phone and asked the flustered subordinate on the phone angrily: "To all Call the airport that can be reached! Take off all fighter jets to fight!"

"Report! Sir! The group army directly under the airport called. The German bombers destroyed the airport, 97 aircraft of various types were destroyed, and the airport could not take off fighter jets to meet them." An adjutant reported loudly.

"What about the border? Order the border troops to counterattack immediately!" The Polish general ordered loudly.

"Yes!" The adjutant replied with a salute.

At this moment, the 3rd SS Armored 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.
