The fall of Sedelce put the Soviet army in Poland in a precarious position.
The soldiers of the 3rd, 12th, and 16th Group armies who were evacuating from Warsaw were immediately in an uproar when they heard that Sedelce was occupied. Many of them had secretly separated from the troops and retreated to Soviet Russia on their own. No matter what the political commissars said, it had no effect.
.
The 4th and 15th armies were even worse. They were still fighting the Polish army along the Vistula River. When they heard that Sedelce behind them was occupied by Poland, they almost caused a mutiny. If the commander hadn't suppressed them, they would have collapsed on their own.
However, although he was barely suppressed, someone gave him a push. The Polish Fifth Army, led by the commander General Sikorski, immediately launched a counterattack against him, causing the shocked 4th Army to explode.
A rout. Within one day, the 4th Army retreated 40 kilometers and was almost approaching the East Prussian border.
The 15th Army in the lower reaches of the Vistula River was frightened and immediately moved its troops towards the East Prussian border. It planned to join the 4th Army and then retreat to the Bug River along the Mwawa and Ostrovenka lines.
For a time, the Soviet troops in Poland retreated towards the Bug River. They planned to drag out the attack of the Lobo and Polish forces first, and then fight with them after receiving reinforcements. However, their wish would not be accepted by the Lobo and Polish armies, especially
It's Poland.
For Poland, the huge strategic advantage that they had finally gained at a huge cost could not let the upcoming victory slip away. Therefore, after capturing Sedrce, Piłsudski immediately led the attack corps and the 2nd
The first legion is on the road.
Their next target is Ostruw. As long as they capture this small town on the Bug River, the Bug River will become their natural line of defense to intercept the Soviet army. For the Soviet army, which is currently panicked and demoralized, this is not a big deal.
Is it a natural hazard?
When Poland was preparing to turn the plan into reality, General Freit also led the Romanian army that defeated the Soviet interception and rushed towards Brest.
On the road from Warsaw to Minsk, there is a long line of Romanian soldiers as far as the eye can see. The soldiers, horses, vehicles and artillery on the road look like a mess from a distance. But when you get closer, you will find that everything is in order.
, each has its own rules of travel. And on the side of the road, there are military police wearing white helmets from time to time, directing the traffic on the road.
Admiral Freit, who was commanding them, marched in the middle of the team with his headquarters. And the sign of his headquarters was very obvious. Dozens of buses-like vehicles produced by Volkswagen were his mobile headquarters.
.
However, these vehicles are different from public transportation vehicles in the city. In order to facilitate the movement of ambitions, the body height is much higher. Compared with the six wheels of public transportation vehicles, these vehicles have eight wheels. Not only that, the tire width is also wider than that of civilian cars.
.In addition, in terms of engine configuration, its 120-horsepower engine is enough to ensure that it has good maneuverability in the wild. In terms of performance in all aspects, this is currently the best field command vehicle.
The only drawback is that it is too expensive. The cost of 51,000 lei is almost as high as that of a tank. However, the current military prestige is enough, so it ordered more than 40 vehicles at once, and this time General Freit brought it with him.
More than ten vehicles.
The effect of using it is quite good. It can control the situation on the battlefield at any time during the march. Moreover, its large field radio can keep in touch with Warsaw and the country at any time, which gives the general a lot of peace of mind.
"How is the situation now?"
Freit looked at the map in the car and asked the communications officer next to him.
"At present, the enemy's 11th and 14th Army Groups have been driven to Malorita by our army. The 7th, 11th, and 17th Divisions are watching them and will not let them get closer to Brest. In addition, the Polish Third Army has already rushed
When arriving at Sedelce to defend, a small group of Soviet Russian troops had appeared outside the city, but these troops did not engage in combat with the defending Polish 3rd and 4th Army. In addition, the Polish army commanded by Marshal Piłsudski had already rushed to the Bug River
At present, they are preparing to cross the river."
The Admiral was in the slightly shaking carriage, listening to the staff report, while marking the location he mentioned on the map.
After reading the map, Freit concluded: "It seems that this war will cause the opponent to suffer a big loss. If these Soviet troops are currently semi-surrounded, if they don't move quickly, no one will be able to escape.
Lost it. Speaking of which, Lord Piłsudski has achieved a great victory this time."
After Fereit finished summing up others, he began to care about himself.
"How far is it to Brest?"
"At present, our army's forward has arrived in Biała, which is only 28 kilometers away from Brest."
After hearing the staff's answer, Freit calculated that it was only one day's journey.
"What about the troops in the city?"
"There are still only two divisions of Soviet troops defending, but they have recruited residents in the city to join the army. According to the latest information, they currently recruit 6,000 people. A lot of sandbag fortifications have been deployed in the city, and they have forced residents to build outside the city
Trenches. In addition, the latest intelligence we received is that three trains were sent from Minsk to Brest yesterday, most of which were artillery, machine guns and other support weapons."
After hearing the report from his staff, Ferreit said with a smile: "It's too late to support now. It would be a joke if the strength of two divisions can stop my army."
In General Freit's view, Brest is now in his possession, and the only 11th and 14th armies that the enemy can support have been deliberately driven to other places. He also specially sent three
Each division keeps an eye on its opponent to see where reinforcements may be.
In fact, judging from the map, the mobile force composed of the cavalry division and the armored brigade that defeated the Soviet Cavalry Group Army is closest to here. However, considering that the two units suffered heavy casualties and the loss of weapons and equipment was too great (I am talking about the armored brigade), so the above
You will only let them be responsible for the surrounding investigation work.
The next day, the Romanian army arrived at the city.
Ferreit looked at the panicked Soviet soldiers on the front line, and he couldn't help but laugh. It was obvious that the Soviet army put the local residents on the front line instead of recruiting local residents, which in turn gave Romania an advantage. These basically untrained recruits were completely
It will help Romania conquer the city.
Since the Soviet commander was confused, of course he had to accept this gift.
He waved his hand, and after a brief artillery fire, two divisions of Romanian troops immediately rushed towards the position. He was not interested in the next battle at all.
The result was completely within the scope of his expectations. After only one charge, the local recruits who were forcibly recruited on the front line were defeated and retreated. Many people raised their hands and shouted to them: "I am a Pole, and I am willing to lead the Romanian army. Come on."
Run these Russian troops.”
So the next battle was much simpler. With the help of these locals, the Romanian army occupied the city in less than two days.
