January 1923, Stettin, a coastal city on the Baltic Sea.
A German unit was quietly setting out under the cover of night, lining up neatly and boarding the huge transport ship in an orderly manner.
In the port of Stettin, two brand-new warships are setting sail.
Under the light mist, the warship in the distance looks like a terrible monster, symbolizing doom and disaster, sailing towards her destination!
"General, this is the last batch of troops, a total of 120,000 people, and all six divisions have been boarded!"
Standing on the deck of the battleship Prinz Eugen, overlooking the orderly German troops in the port, Mainz reached out and patted the side of the Prinz Eugen.
As the Admiral Hipper-class cruiser The second ship, Prince Eugen, was launched not long ago.
Originally, according to normal procedures, this warship should still be tested at sea.
However, the world situation has changed too fast, and Hans' national security has been greatly threatened. , at this time, the military no longer allows the navy's warships to conduct tests slowly!
Therefore, the two warships Admiral Hipper and Prinz Eugen, which are undergoing sea trials in the North Sea, were notified immediately. After the sea trial, they quietly passed through the Kiel Canal and arrived at the Baltic Sea.
These two battleships will become the main force of Mainz's left-wing offensive!
"Send a telegram to Königsberg and ask the Fifth Army to start moving closer to Danze!"
...
Königsberg, East Prussia.
The Fifth Army, composed of the SS armed forces, was ready at this time.
Himmler had already flown here personally to take command.
A few days ago, the German army secretly requisitioned 25 planes from Deutsche Geesellschaft and quietly sent a group of troops to the enclave of East Prussia via air transport!
Most of the people sent over were officers of the SS armed forces, as well as propaganda and political personnel like Mustache.
The SS has already secretly developed an armed force of about 100,000 people in East Prussia. However, this army lacks excellent commanders and therefore does not have actual combat capabilities.
In order to solve this problem, Mainz personally ordered them to airlift 2,000 officers of all levels to help them improve the organizational structure of the army!
After the arrival of these 2,000 officers, they immediately began to integrate the SS army and renamed it the Fifth German Army. Kesselring temporarily served as the acting commander of the army.
As early as the Soviet-Polish War in 1920, Mainz was already planning a war against Pineapple!
The conflict between Hans and Bolan is almost irreconcilable. There will be a battle between the two sides, but it is just a matter of time.
Moreover, according to Mainz's understanding of the Bolan people, this group of guys with high ambitions and thin lives will immediately come to Hans to provoke the Hans people after provoking the Wooly Bears.
Historically, since 1922, the Bolan people have repeatedly crossed the border, harassed and even attacked the people in Hansi, expelled a large number of Hansi people living in the border areas, and tried to encroach on Hansi land.
The conflicts between the two countries continued to accumulate for more than ten years, reaching their peak when the Bolan people forcibly annexed Danze, and then the Second World War broke out!
It is precisely because of its understanding of the Bolan people that Mainz made preparations early, deliberately creating an excuse for the Bolan people to go to war and tempting them to start a war!
This war will not only help Mainz achieve a comprehensive breakthrough in Versailles, but also greatly weaken the power of the Spinland people, making it impossible for them to recover for decades!
In order to achieve this goal, Mainz early brought out the tactic that Hans was most proud of during World War II – blitzkrieg!
Guderian was just an appetizer in Posen Forest, and the next battle was the real gluttonous feast!
...
On January 19, 1923, the Fourth Army of the Chinese Army landed in Danze.
A large number of armored troops, motorized troops and modified 'special tank' troops quickly landed at Danze Port.
On the same day, the German Fifth Army, under the command of Kesselring, set off from Königsberg and, like a sharp knife, penetrated directly into the heart of the Polish people – Warsaw!
On January 0, in just one day, the German Fourth Army defeated the Polish right-wing defense line and occupied Toruń, an important city on the border between Pomerania and Posen!
Torun is not a very big city. The history of this city is not particularly long. It was formed after the Teutonic Knights built a castle here in the 13th century.
Although Torun is not big, the location of this city is extremely critical. It connects Danzig, the capital of West Prussia, and Posen, the capital of Posen. It is the most important fulcrum between the two places. At the same time, the capital of Pomerania There are also direct cars and roads from Stettin to the east to Torun. These convenient transportation networks are very important for the mobilization of troops and the transportation of supplies!
After the Posen area was lost, the Torun area became the only channel for Warsaw to transport supplies to the Polish troops in the encirclement and help them retreat!
And this passage, under the personal command of Mainz, fell in just one day!
On the day Torun was captured, Manstein's Third Army also attacked from the south and captured the city of Lodz, the gateway to the west of Warsaw!
Lodz is the third largest city in Poland and the gateway to the southwestern region of Poland. Taking it here not only cuts off the possibility of the Polish army in the encirclement circle to retreat from the south, but also poses a direct threat to the nearby city of Warsaw. Threat!
In this case, Mainz openly generated electricity and demanded that Bolan surrender. Otherwise, the German army would attack Warsaw, the capital of Bolan!
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked���shock!
People can't help but start to doubt their ears:
Did I hear it correctly? Is the German army going to attack the capital of Poland?
Wasn't it always the Bolans who threatened to attack the German capital before?
Why did the positions of both parties completely change in such a short period of time?
Not to mention the people of various countries, even the governments of various countries were shocked by this swift action of the German army!
They did not expect that Major General Mainz would be so courageous and capable of such tactics!
The German army advanced so fast in this battle and the tactics of outflanking were so determined that the whole world turned their attention!
This is the powerful German army in World War I!
No, this German army is even more powerful than the German army in World War I!
As a result, the melon-eating people from all over the world were curious about what the German army would do next!
The Bolan people were not in such a good mood. They were completely stunned. They did not expect that the situation would change so quickly!
In just a few days, under this series of dazzling actions of the German army, they have quietly built an unbreakable prison in the Pomeranian Corridor. There are a total of one group army, 92 divisions, and 1.16 million soldiers. The Polish army was surrounded in this small area!
The Polish army's retreat path has been completely cut off, and their path forward has also been blocked by Guderian's First Army!
The situation of the Polish army suddenly became extremely bad. They must break through the German encirclement in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, once the German army launches a general attack on them, the Polish army in the encirclement may be completely destroyed!
At the same time, the German Fifth Army was advancing toward Warsaw, the capital of Poland!
At their speed, it may not take more than a few days before they can reach the city and even occupy Warsaw!
Warsaw, this war-torn city, was once again facing the threat of a powerful enemy less than three months after the war ended!
But at this time, the people of Warsaw, who had shed all their blood in the previous Battle of Warsaw, no longer had the strength to take up arms and resist their enemies!
Faced with this situation, the Polish people were still stubborn and did not admit defeat. On the one hand, Piłsudski urgently sent a distress signal to the Allies, asking them to send troops to support the Polish army as soon as possible.
On the other hand, he is also actively saving himself, trying to take the Polish army out of the German encirclement!
These more than one million Polish troops are almost the essence of the entire Bolan. If this Polish army is completely annihilated here by the German army, I am afraid that Bolan will not be able to organize such a force for a long time in the future. troops!
Because young people are not leeks in the ground and cannot grow in such a short period of time!
Moreover, if these armies are destroyed, then the combat experience they have accumulated will be in vain and will no longer exist!
Therefore, no matter what, this Polish army cannot be allowed to be destroyed!
On January 5, the Polish army began to break through. Piłsudski was obviously desperate.With 500,000 troops, four armies stormed Guderian stationed in Posen, trying to open a breakthrough from here!
