Chapter one hundred and seventy-ninth Poland was pitted
On September 30, 1939, just after the Battle of the Buzula River, members of the French Polish Army Corps packed up their luggage and ended their trip to Poland.
Since this disastrous battle was proposed by Berlant and other French military officers, they, the French, naturally became the bastards in the eyes of a group of generals in the Polish command. If Berlant and the others had not proposed this counterattack,
The Polish army would not lose more than 200,000 of its main force, and it would lose all its capital in one fell swoop.
Therefore, when Berlant and other French officers boarded the plane to return home, no Polish officer above the school level came to see him off. Berlant himself did not complain at all about this. He knew that the Polish army was because of his
What was lost in the plan was that I was even a little lucky that the Poles were able to let themselves, a sinner, escape alive.
"General, are we really leaving like this?"
Several accompanying judges reluctantly asked Berante, the leader of the team. After all, he was a proud French soldier. After a defeat, he always had a desire for revenge in his heart. They all felt...
, returning home in such a dejected manner, I am really ashamed of myself as the number one army in Europe - ashamed of my proud status as a French officer!
"Don't think about it. Everyone, pack everything that needs to be packed. Don't wait until you get on the plane." Berlant reminded in a low voice: "It's good if you can leave. In case the Poles regret it later.
, they want to arrest us, shoot us and hold us accountable, and then even if Marshal Pétain comes to intercede, he won’t be able to protect us!”
Berante's words were not loud, but they made several French officers who were whispering immediately shut their mouths. Their business was a great disservice to the Polish Supreme Command, even if it was still
If you want to make up for your mistakes, it is impossible for others to dare to believe the "guidance" of these sinners.
There are some words that Berlant did not say. That is, after this battle, Poland's defeat has been determined. In the past ten days, the Polish army on the Western Front has lost 7,788, and it is estimated that it still has combat effectiveness.
100,000 people.
Looking at the losses of the German army, except for one division deliberately released as a decoy in the Battle of the Buzula River, the rest of the troops almost relied on strong firepower superiority and air support to control the losses to within double digits! The losses can be so small,
This was certainly due to the fact that the German army was brave and good at fighting and had refined weapons. But the more reason was that the Polish army's tactical thinking was outdated and most of the troops had low fighting will when facing the superior German army and collapsed at the first touch.
In the end, even the 30th Division, which the Germans deliberately threw out as bait, was not completely eaten by the Polish army. On the contrary, at the last moment, the German 30th Division, which was on the verge of desperation, made a beautiful counterattack and was defeated by only a thousand people left.
The German 30th Division captured more than 10,000 soldiers!
At this time, the biggest threat facing the Polish army is no longer combat losses, but the low morale within the army and the number of surrenders that exceeds one day!
The fifth largest military power in Europe was defeated by Germany, which was previously ranked fourth, in just 10 days and was unable to even fight back. God is not kidding, there is something wrong with this ranking!
This army ranking was made by the French Propaganda Department, which is recognized as the number one army in Europe. Among them, they naturally placed themselves in the first position, and the British Commonwealth, the sovereign country, was friendly arranged in the second position. The hegemon of Southern Europe
Italy was overestimated by the French Propaganda Ministry as the third largest army power in Europe, and the emerging power Germany was extremely reluctantly ranked as the fourth strongest country by the French Propaganda Ministry.
In addition, the position of the fifth largest army power in Europe was fairly fairly assigned to Poland.
However, this battle caused Berlant, who had no doubt about the ranking of the domestic propaganda department, to have objections for the first time. If Germany is really that much better than Poland according to the domestic propaganda, then they will not be able to compete with each other.
In the duel, why did Germany win so easily?!
"General!"
Just when Berante and his party had just boarded the return plane, a lieutenant colonel in the officer corps handed over a telegram from China.
After a quick glance at the telegram, Berlant's face instantly turned pale and he shouted: "Take off quickly! Leave Poland immediately!"
Although Berante did not have time to explain the reason, his major general's military training and his anxious attitude were enough for the pilot to immediately obey the order.
"yes!"
Without any more doubts, the French officer's plane quickly took off and returned home. A few minutes later, they left the runway and slowly took off toward the northwest. Since the German army had already controlled the air superiority on the Polish battlefield, Bei
The plane that Lunt and others took could only fly a short distance north, passing through Norway, and then return to France.
Berlant looked at the Polish airport below through the plane window, and took one last look at the city of Warsaw, which had not yet suffered from the war. Now they had risen to an altitude of almost four thousand meters and were about to enter the thick clouds. In another minute,
Everything on the Polish battlefield had nothing to do with them, and they could no longer even see or see it.
Berante slowly closed his eyes and handed the telegram that he had been holding tightly in his hands to others for circulation. When the last judge read it, even though there were more than four thousand people separated,
Meter height, all of them seemed to be able to clearly feel the gloomy chill emanating from the Polish Supreme Command from the ground.
"Marshal! French General Gamelin has sent a telegram."
At the same time, Smigre's headquarters in Warsaw also received a telegram from France with content similar to the telegram in Berante's hand.
In the telegram, Gamelin, who had just become Commander-in-Chief of the French Army and Commander-in-Chief of the British-French Allied Forces on the Western Front, explained: "In the northeast, more than half of the active divisions of the French army are fighting. But since crossing the border, we have encountered
Due to the tenacious resistance of the Germans, we made significant progress in many areas, but we also fell into the difficult positional warfare of World War I. Facing an enemy who was well prepared, we were still unable to obtain all the artillery we needed.
........
The French air force has been cooperating with ground forces since the beginning of the war. But we also know that Germany is equipped with a considerable number of aircraft.
Therefore, the promise I made to commit all our forces to the offensive in the second week after the French mobilization was fulfilled. More... I'm sorry, but I can't do it."
This telegram is very eloquent, but it can be summed up with one meaning: Seeing how awesome the German army is, we suddenly don’t want to fight the German army. Poland can play with Germany by itself, and don’t count on my previous promises.
"Fart!" After listening to the telegram, Smigre smashed the cup on the table on the spot. Then he stomped on the broken pieces one after another and roared: "Ah...that Gamelin one
You are a piece of trash that is worse than a pig or a dog. After we contained so many German tanks and planes, we still accomplished nothing! No... He did it on purpose, and he never thought of helping us."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. In the end, he simply grabbed the telegram sent by Gamelin and began to tear it apart roughly: "Excuses! They are all excuses! What about attacking Germany from a pincer and sharing the territory? What about the Allied forces must provide full assistance.
It's all fucking bullshit! That smart-alecked Berante of the French officialdom caused us to lose 250,000 elite men, and Gamelin, a villain who never believed in his words, abandoned us... I
........I'm going to kill them!!!"
"That's right." Speaking of Berante, Smigre suddenly turned his head and stared at a staff officer who was previously responsible for coordination and said coldly: "Where is that bastard Berante? The French army is here again now.
Where? I'm going to kill them!"
"Marshal...Marshal, Major General Berante...packed his luggage and ran away early in the morning. You have received the report."
