Chapter 363
As the French army stopped advancing, the most spectacular scene in World War II finally kicked off.
Poland, the ally of Britain and France, is dying under the attack of the powerful German armored forces, and at the same time, at the other end, it has always said that it will absolutely support the French army and the British army in Poland, known as the most powerful army in Europe. A sit-in behind the Maginot line.
They have declared war, the war has already begun, but all this seems to have nothing to do with them.
At this time, the situation in Poland has deteriorated incomparably.
The main armoured unit of Army Group South, the three Waffen SS armoured divisions, surrounded the main Polish army west of the Vistula.
Meanwhile, the other two corps subordinate to Army Group South, the 14th Army under General William Lister and the 8th Army under General Johannes Blaskowitz, were originally responsible for the support of the two flanks. There was an armored division, and now, they ran faster and went straight to Warsaw, the capital of Poland.
Warsaw, is in a hurry!
At this time, the city of Warsaw was full of anxiety.
As the supreme commander, Marshal Smigwi-Rhoades, what he is most looking forward to is the help of allies in France and Britain. If they attack Germany from the west, Germany will definitely stop the current attack!
"What?" Marshal Rhodes couldn't believe his ears when he heard the report: "The French army hasn't laid down the Siegfried line yet?"
The Siegfried Line of Defense was a line of defense built by Germany to stop the French army from attacking. The French army, only after breaking through this line of defense, could they go all the way to Berlin.
Now, the German army is about to arrive in Warsaw, and the French army is still dawdling on the border?
"Yes." General Louis Xiaoyou, commander of the Polish-French military delegation, said slowly to the opponent: "We are attacking the Siegfried line. We have dispatched 25 divisions, and now, we have attracted 6 The German divisions were withdrawn from Poland."
"Unfortunately, we encountered a huge minefield that was ambushed by the Germans. We have sacrificed thousands of people. Now, we are stepping up demining. Therefore, our main offensive must be postponed until after February 25."
Push back a few days! Then Warsaw was beaten down. Looking at the French general, Marshal Rhodes was very angry, but it was not easy to export.
"Also, in order to better coordinate, I want to retreat to Romania with the Polish government. If you are willing to retreat with us, then retreat together."
retreat! Now, seeing that the German army is about to complete the encirclement of Warsaw, the government personnel are anxious. President Ignacy Mosicicki has decided to go to Romania.
"This coward, I won't leave, I want to live and die with Warsaw!" said Marshal Rhodes.
He and President Moschicki were originally separated from each other. The real power in Poland was actually controlled by Marshal Rhodes, and Moschicki was just a superficial leader who came out.
And now, Moszicki is about to run away, and Rhodes is very angry. Of course, his anger is temporary. Just one day later, he also embarked on the road of escape, throwing the oath of coexistence and death with Warsaw. behind the head.
The French general left, leaving behind Rhodes' henchmen. Now, their faces are ugly.
Think about how beautiful it was a few years ago when the Polish army beat up the Soviets and cut a piece of meat from the Soviet territory, but now, everything has exceeded their expectations.
The Germans didn't fight according to the Poles' ideas at all.
It all happened too fast, too fast for the Polish army to react.
Now it seems that if they are given another chance to choose again, they should quickly abandon some valuable areas in the west, such as the Silesia industrial area, and then focus on the fortification on the right line of the Nareef and Vistola river basins. A step-by-step defense was used to delay time, waiting for the British and French to attack on the Western Front.
But now, they have deployed a large number of troops on the border, and they must fight for every inch of land!
Of course, they have another idea. Once Britain and France succeed in fighting on the Western Front, and the main German army is transferred to the west, they will immediately turn to the offensive. The main force in the Poznan area will take the shortest distance and go straight to Berlin!
They want to go into a counteroffensive state as quickly as they did in the last war with the Soviet Union.
Unfortunately, their disillusionment was shattered, the main force was deployed in the border area, and as a result, was quickly surrounded, divided, and wiped out by the German mechanized forces!
The numbers of the army groups disappeared quickly, and now there are only tens of thousands of troops left in Warsaw!
They can only rely on Britain and France, and now, Britain and France are still delaying time!
In the past few days, the advancing speed of the German army was so fast that they could not accept it. The fastest group army could advance hundreds of kilometers almost every day!
This speed is faster than in history! After all, the German army in history used light tanks such as No. 1 and No. 2, and now, the German army has been equipped with powerful Panther 3 tanks, as well as a large number of infantry fighting vehicles, which are more mobile!
"Marshal, it's not good!" At this moment, the chief of staff, General Vacwa Stacivic, hurried in.
"What's the matter?" Marshal Rhodes asked with a frown. Could it be that the German army has already encircled it?
"The Soviets, the Soviets are going to attack us!" General Stacivic said breathlessly, and when he received this terrible news, he ran over immediately.
Soviets? Everyone present changed their faces.
Now, the German offensive in the west has made Poland breathless. Almost all the Polish troops were deployed on the western front and were wiped out by the Germans, while the eastern part of Poland was simply undefended.
And now, the Soviets are actually calling from the east!
This group of idiots is really shameless. Just last year, they said they would teach Germany a lesson for Poland!
"Impossible? Didn't we and the Soviet Union sign a non-aggression pact?" one person asked.
The treaty is just a piece of waste paper. With Cyric's remarks, the agreement is to be torn up, but since it is an adult, you still need face.
"The Soviets claimed that since our Polish government no longer existed, the Soviet-Polish non-aggression pact was no longer valid. In order to protect the interests of the Ukrainian and Belarusian minorities, the Soviet Union decided to enter the West Ukraine and West Belarus regions in eastern Poland."
Just find an excuse! For the Soviet Union, his essence is also constantly expanding! It's just that I was afraid of being beaten by Finland back then.
Now, Poland is on the verge of subjugation. At this time, taking a bite is what the Soviet Union likes to do most, just to fulfill the secret agreement of the year!
