Two Hundred and Fifteen Days of Brauhitch

In the spacious and bright hall, the military band played the most heroic repertoire, and the entire hall was refurbished, because today is a day worth celebrating for the entire German team. [For more exciting novels, please visit] Because Admiral Brauchitch, the commander-in-chief of the German Wehrmacht, will be promoted to Reich Marshal by Führer Arkado today.

This promotion excites all soldiers. After all, Germany has not been promoted to a marshal in nearly 20 years. The humiliation brought to the army in 1919 was really depressing, and the feeling of being treated as a slave without being defeated really made every German officer suffer. Everyone is holding a sigh of anger, hoping to fulfill their responsibilities as a soldier next time when they need to shed blood for the motherland. Yes, responsibility! Even if you die in battle, you will never accept the humiliation of 1919 again!

But the gloom gradually dissipated after 1925, and the plan to secretly expand the Wehrmacht led to the promotion of many young generals. The most exciting is a young man who officially stepped into the foreground: Arkado Rudolph. He let the entire Wehrmacht take off the hat of being bullied, and he led everyone step by step to regain the dignity that belonged to the German people.

Armed into the Rhineland, Germany took back its own territory for the first time after the war. Although it was not exciting, it was a real first step; then the German armed forces annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia without a single shot. The acquisition of these two crucial regions, both industrially and economically, has compensated the ravaged German economy. Afterwards, in Hungary and Germany, the gloom of defeat was swept away, and the dignified international match was launched with Britain and France.

The head of state seems to be a gift from God, helping the confused German team to formulate the direction of development. The army has established a blitzkrieg combat plan based on mechanized infantry and tanks; the navy is in order to achieve the strategic goal of surpassing the United Kingdom. , abandoned the battleship to develop aircraft carrier tactics in an all-round way; the Air Force has achieved a leap from zero to world-class in one breath.

In the Spanish Civil War, the German Air Force achieved remarkable results, relying on advanced weapons and equipment to defeat the Soviet Air Force supporting the Republican Army in one breath. Although not many people can know about these achievements until now, they have really given the developing German team a shot in the arm.

Of course, the most exciting thing is the German team's performance in the Poland war. Although the front is proud, it is just a small fight under the cover of diplomatic victory. To say that the battle of the German Wehrmacht after the war was the just-concluded Polish campaign.

After careful planning and efforts by the head of state, Germany launched a surprise attack on Poland, the first power in Eastern Europe, on September 13, 1937. In the case that everyone is optimistic about Poland, he used his own victory to explain to the world what it means to kill a chicken with a knife.

Above the sky, it took only three days for the German pilots to completely destroy the Polish Air Force and seize the air superiority of the battlefield. On the twentieth day of the war, the Polish Air Force was in an embarrassing situation without combat aircraft. Stuka and -217 bombers were unmanned over Poland,

Unscrupulous destruction of Polish ground targets, and even throw their new weapon napalm in the north.

Under the cover of the air force, the German armored troops broke through the Polish defense line on the first day and attacked 50 kilometers forward in one breath, and then the commanders of the armored troops who lost their restraints completed their dream with the speed of the race. attack. Because the advance was too fast, Guderian was almost killed on the road by his own artillery shells, and Rommel had loaded Polish skirmishers when he was looking for his troops.

Although there were many accidents and jokes, the fledgling German Wehrmacht made a victory that attracted the attention of the whole world. They defeated Poland in 20 days, surrounded and occupied the Polish capital Warsaw. The cost of destroying such an Eastern European power as Poland was only less than 10,000 casualties—you must know that advancing 100 meters in World War I may cost tens of thousands of people.

Raising eyebrows is nothing more than that! This record can be regarded as an account of the whole German people after 1919. The German Wehrmacht is still the army that is enough to protect the German nation, and the heroic division that makes the whole world tremble. Although the Wehrmacht still has an unresolved account for France, which has just provoked the German border, but at least the Wehrmacht is now reinvigorated.

This promotion is proof! Marshal of the Empire! That is the pinnacle of military rank a soldier can ascend. For these tearful victories, for these dazzling honors! It's worth it just to die in battle for the head of state!

I don't know what other people think, but when Brauchitch walked into the ceremony hall where he was awarded, when he was surrounded by lights and applause in the center, this was what he thought in his heart. He walked in front of Akado, stood at attention, straightened his waist, raised his right hand, and expressed his respect for the Führer with a standard German courtesy: "Long live the great Führer, Akado Rudolph! "

"Long live Great Germany! Congratulations to you today! Reich Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht Walter von Brauchitch." Arkado smiled in return: "After deliberation and approval by the Imperial Parliament, I will officially promote you to become the third The first marshal of the empire!"

The spotlight camera kept taking pictures, and the lights kept flickering. Brauchitch felt that today was really a good day, and the surrounding scenery was so fascinating—of course, the top that the Führer wore today was really fitting. The applause was a bit loud, so loud that it was in tune with the music. It was like the sound of soldiers lining up in a square formation and marching forward. It was so beautiful that people could not stop crying after hearing it.

In the cheers of the people and the constant applause, Arkado handed a beautiful imperial marshal scepter symbolizing honor and power to Brauchitch's hands: "Congratulations! Marshal Brauchitch! I hope you can continue to win the war with my army and go to victory!"

"Please rest assured, Führer! I will do my best to lead your army to victory! I will take your army to destroy and occupy every place you need!" Brausch answered loudly with the marshal's scepter. .

Luxurious dinner, staggered wine glasses, bright red wine, soft music. Countless people came forward to celebrate, and countless people came forward to compliment. The intoxicating temperature and intoxicating smell really made it easy for people to sing happily. Tonight is undoubtedly a day worth remembering for Brauchitch.

...

Poland, Eastern Front.

In the trenches, a wounded Polish soldier was struggling desperately when a bullet passed through his fragile neck just now. Around him, former comrades in arms were still fighting back with rifles, and beside him, a soldier's body was already cold, and several flies had fallen on his bloody face.

The medics helped him to press the wound, preventing the blood gushing out like a spring from continuing to flow, but the bright red "liquid" still slipped away from his neck with body temperature, without a trace of pity.

"God! Who can help me! I don't have any anesthesia drugs!" shouted.

No one paid any attention to him, a bullet hit him not far away, and another Polish soldier's helmet was pierced, and he fell beside the medic with blood on his face. Although there was no sound, his toes were still there. twitching.

"The medicine has run out! The wounded soldiers can't be withdrawn! The ammunition is about to run out!" A Polish officer complained to his commander at his command post not far away: "A few days ago, the backup troops We should be replaced! Keep fighting like this! We will be wiped out here!"

"There will be no reinforcements. We are fighting alone now. Warsaw was occupied by Germany a few days ago, and now the land under our feet is the little Polish territory left." His commander was helpless. said.

"Then what can we do?" the junior Polish officer asked in tears.

"I plan to hold on to this position until the last moment, but boy...you can leave with someone! I heard that Germany treats Polish prisoners well, at least better than the Soviet Union." He smiled reluctantly. He opened his mouth and said: "My leg is injured, and you are also a burden to carry me. Just let me and the wounded stay. It can hinder the Soviet army for a while, just for a while. The order issued by the division headquarters seems to be everyone. moving backwards."

"Boom!" A shell exploded in a trench not far away, and several Polish soldiers were killed there. After holding on for a month, this permanent fortification built in eastern Poland finally reached its place. end.

"There are no wounded soldiers! Come with me! Let's retreat!" The young officer said goodbye to his commander and left this section of the trench with a dozen soldiers. A few kilometers behind them was a field hospital, and behind them The headquarters of the entire division, where about half a regiment of soldiers had gathered.

"We were defeated by Germany, but let these Soviet bastards pick up ready-made ones!" A soldier said dissatisfiedly: "We must fight back in the future! Let these Soviet people know how good we are!"

The Polish defenders, who lacked foreign aid, were forced to start a full retreat. The Soviet Red Army began to drive straight in. In the barren villages and the vast grasslands, gunshots were sporadically rang out everywhere. The Polish soldiers who were unwilling to be enslaved by the Soviet Union used their own weapons. way to create trouble for the huge Soviet invasion force.

The Soviet and Polish remnants fought for another 15 days before advancing to the German Line of Actual Control until October 21. But this day should indeed go down in history. Poland, which was founded after the First World War, fell to the ground on this day.
