After communicating with the members of the weapons experiment group, and following the order of Commander Coland, black torrents began to flow rapidly.
The officers and soldiers of the police division quickly lined up and moved into the offensive positions in batches. The vehicle crew members of the weapons experiment group gathered as planned in an open space between the two offensive positions.
In order to capture the city of Warsaw in one fell swoop, Lundstedt finally deployed the most tenacious, even craziest, SS troops. This time, Lundstedt made up his mind and contacted General Leer's Fourth Air Force.
The team dispatched three batches of bomber squadrons to clear the battlefield for the SS.
After the bombing, the police division and the weapons experiment regiment immediately took over from the two infantry divisions that the 10th Army had previously invaded the city and assumed the next task of street fighting.
As Colander gave each unit attack orders one after another, the phalanxes that had been neatly lined up quickly turned into black lightning, and the assault guns entered the battlefield surrounded by them.
The whole process was quiet and fast, without the need for mobilization, and there were no slogans. There was no shouting "long live the head of state" in unison as advertised in domestic newspapers. However, no one present would question that these well-trained silent warriors
It is the most terrifying killing machine on the battlefield!
When the SS soldiers entered a ceasefire zone that had been maintained between the two sides, the machine guns deployed on the Polish barricades immediately opened fire on these uninvited guests.
In the past, German soldiers would first suppress the opponent with machine guns, and then destroy it with infantry artillery or mortars.
When the enemy is at a tricky angle, the air force cannot support it, infantry artillery cannot hit it, and the opponent's defenses are sufficient and mortars cannot destroy it. The soldiers of the National Defense Force can only brave the flying bullets and missiles flying from nowhere.
Mortar bombs, engineers were sent to plant explosives to destroy them.
But this time, the SS soldiers who discovered the Polish machine gun only had to hide behind the assault gun and slowly advance with the Grizzly assault gun against the flying bullets.
The black marks on the frontal armor of the Grizzly assault guns blasted by the 25-pound howitzers of the Modlin Fortress silently mocked the feeble counterattacks of the Polish army in the street fighting.
When it reaches a suitable distance, the Grizzly assault gun only needs to stop and then fine-tune the barrel to aim at the barricade. As the muzzle spits out a ball of fire, the entire barricade will be directly destroyed by a 150mm high-explosive round.
.
Then, before the smoke from the explosion dissipated, the SS's MG33 light machine gun would begin to suppress fire, while the rest of the soldiers jumped up and rushed through the barricade area, hitting rhythmically with the G43 semi-automatic rifle, and the MG33
The harsh sound of the machine gun ripping off the oilcloth was mixed with the crisp gunfire of the Mauser 98k, forming a life-devouring battlefield symphony.
Of course, the tickets the Poles used to buy this symphony performance were their own lives!
The gunfire lasted only a short time, and the SS quickly cleared the neighborhood.
After being calmed down by two grenades and a flamethrower in the last basement, the Black Storm began to calmly and orderly clean the battlefield and rescue their injured comrades.
The same scene keeps playing out in block after block.
Filipowicz was at his headquarters in the center of Warsaw. He began to be surprised to find that the SS had surpassed the planned distance that the Wehrmacht had failed to advance in two full days in less than a morning!
Finally, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the SS encountered their last challenge - the most structurally solid building in the center of Warsaw.
This five-story solid building was personally selected by Filipowitz as his combat headquarters and has been used as the last barrier to resist the German attack.
To this end, Filipowicz also concentrated all eight anti-aircraft guns in Warsaw here to resist bombing from the German Air Force.
He wants to turn this place into the most powerful defensive fortress in Warsaw!
Indeed, he did it.
The three Grizzly assault guns that gathered here fired several rounds with their 150mm cannons. Even though the building was damaged by the explosion, the reinforced concrete structure of the building still withstood the impact. There were still many guns in the building.
The mouth spits out tongues of fire from time to time.
However, with the arrival of the Rhino assault gun, the life of this building has finally entered a countdown.
Due to its low mobility, the Rhino assault gun had been left behind by the attacking forces. But when the attack was blocked, this assault gun was naturally able to arrive and usher in its own opportunity to perform.
As the commander of the Rhino assault gun crew, Sergeant Carl, who has received special training, knows very well that concrete destructive bombs are actually very ineffective against this type of frame structure building. After all, concrete destructive bombs are only suitable for hitting bunkers.
This kind of building can only penetrate a few walls, and then it will fly far away and explode.
Therefore, Sergeant Carl ordered his 170mm heavy gun to be loaded with high-explosive shells.
In order to save the life of the barrel, he also used reduced charge. After all, it does not require much muzzle kinetic energy to shoot this thing, and people who know how to live will be careful about their budgets.
With a dull sound, the shell was pushed out of the muzzle by the propellant and flew towards the building.
Immediately afterwards, a 70-kilogram projectile filled with explosives hit the center of the building and exploded violently.
...A huge hole appeared in the front of the entire building, like a piece of black bread being bitten by someone. The gunshots that continued in the building could no longer be heard. It did not recover until the smoke and dust dissipated.
Suppression intensity.
However, Karl did not give the Polish troops in the building time to breathe.
With the efforts of the two loaders, the second shell was quickly pushed into the chamber. There was another gunshot, and half of the originally structurally intact building collapsed!
"Cough cough... cough cough." The huge collapse also affected the command room on the first floor where Filipovitz was located. He slowly held on to the wall and climbed up from the room filled with scattered dust: "
Is there anyone alive..., is there anyone alive here besides me..."
Although Filipovitz's voice sounded hoarse due to inhaling a large amount of dust in the smoke-filled room, he still called to the survivors as loudly as possible.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, half a minute, one minute...
Finally, survivors were discovered one after another. In the end, including Filipowitz, there were a total of five officers who survived the collapse.
Looking at these comrades who had narrowly escaped death, Filipowicz felt intense guilt in his heart. He failed to lead everyone to resist and failed to preserve the final dignity of the Polish capital.
Although he had known that he would definitely fail, when the failure came, he felt so sad and regretful!
"Let's sing a song..." Looking at the confused officers, Filipowicz smiled and cheered: "Let's sing our national anthem, "Poland Will Never Die"!"
"Well, Poland will never perish!"
"Yes, you will definitely not die!"
........
Several officers who had just walked through the Gate of Hell echoed.
They could have fled to Romania with Marshal Smigre, survived, and then formed a government in exile.
But they didn't. They chose to stay with Filipowicz to defend the capital of their motherland and the last trace of Poland's dignity.
In the beginning, it was Smigre's people who insisted on occupying Germany's Danzig Corridor and triggering the war.
But now, in times of crisis, it is Filipowicz and the others who really stay and fulfill their promise as soldiers!
If there had been more people like Filipowicz among those bombastic decision-makers, maybe Poland would not have perished!
But the fact is just the opposite. Those decision-makers first aggressively occupied German land in order to enhance their own reputation.
Then, in order to maintain his reputation, he refused to shrink the defense line and fantasized about guarding every inch of land, resulting in a large number of troops being surrounded and annihilated at the border.
Finally, when the country needed them to stand up the most, they fled, leaving the people and the army behind and fled shamelessly!
From within the ruins of the building, bursts of Polish singing could be heard:
"Poland will not die!
As long as we have one breath left,
Poland will not perish.
Raise your sword and take back the lost ground,
....."
This is the national anthem of Poland - Poland will never perish. This is Filipowicz's last cry!
"There is a sound in that direction, what is it singing?" Inside the Rhino assault gun, Sergeant Carl clearly heard the singing in the distance.
"I don't understand...forget it, who cares so much about him, let's start with him first and then talk about it." Due to the language barrier, Karl finally had to come to such a conclusion that he didn't understand the style at all...
.
On October 10, 1939, the Warsaw Government Building was captured by the 4th SS Panzergrenadier Division (Police).
In the photos taken by frontline reporters, several soldiers in black uniforms neatly planted the swastika flag on the top of the Polish government building. Under them, all German combatants, including SS soldiers and soldiers, cheered loudly to celebrate the victory.
Wehrmacht.......
On the same day, the remaining resistance forces in Warsaw announced their surrender. Two days later, the last Polish resistance force also handed over its weapons to the German army. Germany, which had won a great victory, began to enjoy the fruits of victory in the Polish campaign.
Two weeks later, some Polish expatriates led by Smigre finally came to London, England, after many twists and turns, announced the establishment of a government in exile, and solemnly declared to the German head of state Reinhard: Poland will not perish!
While Reinhard was killing time in the toilet, he read the British newspaper with the Polish announcement. He smiled and threw the newspaper into the toilet paper basket.
