Chapter 178

The poles are completely stunned. They still don't know what kind of enemy they are facing. They are very easy to fight in the east line, and even some of their troops have invaded the territory of the Soviet Union. However, facing the Germans in the west line, they seem to be completely out of rhythm.

For example, the 6th Division of the Krakow army group in Poland, opposite the third armored division of the German SS, was ordered to gather troops to attack Germany. However, when division commander garokov mobilized his troops, his first line defense position collapsed.

Facing the German tanks and armored vehicles, the Polish defenders who had just stepped out of their fortifications and prepared to attack were obviously helpless. They soon gave up their resistance and were captured or chased in groups. Garokov, the commander of the Sixth Division, finally learned that the first level of defense had been broken through, It's time for the SS Panther tanks to break into his second tier of defense.

Garokov decided to gather his troops and set up a third defensive position around his division headquarters. He even mobilized the cavalry of the division's reserve team, hoping to organize effective defense to stop the German army's crazy attack.

"Who's giving this shit? Ten hours ago, I received an order that my troops should attack the German border, but in the process of assembling my troops, the Germans just came over! " Garrokov became angry in his headquarters: "are the generals above German spies?"

"Call corps headquarters! Ask them what happened? How could the German army advance tens of kilometers in a few hours? " He yelled at the adjutant: "let the regiment headquarters correct the order! Then let the cavalry charge ahead of time! Otherwise, we will be defeated by inexplicable

"Report! Teacher! There's something wrong with the phone! We can't reach the corps headquarters! " An officer with a phone helplessly report: "may be the German soldiers cut off the telephone line!"

"Send someone to check! Speed! Let the cavalry check the communication lines! Let the soldiers set up the defense immediately! Now that the German team can cut off the telephone line, it proves that they are not far from here! " Garokov immediately ordered.

"Boom!"“ Suddenly, suddenly Outside the headquarters, suddenly someone started to fire violently.

"What's the matter? Has the German been here yet? " Garokov was surprised and asked, "go and see immediately. Why did you fire suddenly?"

"Yes The adjutant quickly saluted and ran out of the room to investigate what had happened. He had not been out for long, but the sound of guns was getting louder and louder.

All of a sudden, a huge and tragic explosion started at the side of the building where the headquarters was located. In an instant, the shrapnel splashed all over broke the glass, passed through the bodies of two officers who were standing at the window and looked out, hit the surrounding walls, followed by blood and dust everywhere.

Everyone in the room was swept to the ground by the shock wave. The wall and lime fell from the shaking ceiling. The whole ceiling closest to the window had collapsed, slanting across the original position of the window, and the outer wall with the window had disappeared at this moment.

"Cough! Cough Garokov was overturned by the shock wave. Fortunately, he was not hurt. A telephone operator with a gray face pulled him up from the ground. He coughed and squinted around his headquarters.

The door of his headquarters had been blocked by the rubble of the stairs, but fortunately he was now able to walk directly from the original window to the street. The two officers by the window were now two bodies, one half covered by a collapsed floor. A telephone operator with blood on his face fell on the table. It seemed that there was no need for rescue.

Garokov and the only remaining telephone operator in the whole headquarters bent over to get out of the room which was in danger of collapse at any time, fell into the huge bomb crater outside the window, and then climbed up breathlessly. The sound of explosion came from all around. As soon as he was exposed in the crater, he saw his troops in a mess, like a flock of sheep being driven around by the sound of explosion.

Suddenly, a hand reached out to him and pulled him. Garokov finally climbed up the pit. Without much time to think about it, he bent down and ran to the bottom of a wall, so that he could look back and see who pulled him.

Just as he turned around, his assistant just pulled up the phone operator from the crater, and the two men ran towards him one after the other. Until in front of him, two people sat on the ground.

"Report! Just now we found the formation of enemy bombers. Now they are bombing! " The adjutant panted.

Garokov wanted to kick it: of course I knew it was bombing! And I also know a lot earlier than your notice! But he took a look at his adjutant and gave up scolding because he came to save them.

"God! What about our plane? " Garokov looked up at the formation of German bombers hovering like a vulture, and asked helplessly, "the enemy is fighting at home, why don't they take off to fight?"

"Sir! Our anti-aircraft fire is too weak to drive these planes away. It seems that they will leave only after they have dropped all the bombs. " The adjutant pulled a helmet from a nearby corpse, put it on his head, and said, "let's get out of town! It should be safer outside. "

With a sigh, looking at the fleeing Polish soldiers, garokov knew that things were beyond his control. The soldiers had to wait until the bombing was over before they could collect them. They just nodded to the adjutant and ran to the edge of the town with the only telephone operator who was still obedient. They soon found a guard company that was not disturbed, but the poor company commander could only find 30 of his soldiers. With these soldiers, garokov finally regained a little self-confidence. He began to send soldiers to contact the regiment headquarters which had been disrupted. When he found his first regiment leader, it was an hour later. The German plane had already flown away, and his troops were still in chaos. His second regiment has been defeated by the German frontal forces, and some of the soldiers of the first regiment can not find their whereabouts at all. Now garokov is not even sure how many troops of his six battalions are left“ First! Send out cavalry to repair the telephone line! Find a phone that works nearby! I need to contact the corps headquarters to report the situation I'm facing! " Garokov said to his first commander and adjutant, "second, I need you to bring all the people you can find! Set up a defense line near this town! Make sure that the two locomotives in the warehouse over there are intact. "“ Tell the engineer to check along the track immediately! See if the tracks nearby are damaged by the German forces! " He told his adjutant, "if you can't find the men from the engineering company, arrange 20 infantry to go there! Get back here when you meet a German! Send out cavalry to investigate all the places nearby! I want the exact direction of the Germans! "“ Tank! The Germans are coming!... " Not far away, a soldier pointed in the direction of the border and cried out in panic. Before he finished, a bullet broke his head. All of a sudden panic around, followed by a few soldiers were shot down on the ground. The soldiers who had just gathered together ran away again, which made garokov have the impulse to drop things: "let people push the anti tank gun up! Isn't this stupid run waiting to be slaughtered While retreating, several Polish soldiers returned fire with rifles. They fired one shot. While pulling the bolt, they were hit by machine gun fire. They tumbled to the ground and groaned. After a while, they were silent. "I don't care where you go to find it," garokov ordered! Get me some dynamite! Grenades will do! Go to the garage and blow up those two locomotives! " He said while pulling over the head of the 1st Regiment: "find someone to stand up to the German tank! I just want you to hold on for 15 minutes! " The head of the 1st regiment nodded, but his heart was full of bitterness: in this situation, I'm afraid you can't do it even if you ask me to hold on for another two minutes! Looking at the troops in a mess, he rushed out and yelled to every Polish soldier he passed: "fight back! The cannon is coming! Fire at me I hope I can destroy the locomotive in time. My division is finished. It depends on my luck if the army headquarters behind me can get the exact information. Don't mention those officials who are far behind. He is the commander of the front line. He didn't understand what happened until this moment. There was no need for him to know, because just across the corner of a building from him, a beautiful tank with the number 113 painted on the turret was shooting fiercely, which screened all the Polish soldiers on the street. Just when the scene was so chaotic that there was another gunshot behind him. It was obvious that another German army had encircled the rear of the town like the last straw and completely destroyed the psychological defense line of the Polish garrison. For a moment, the sound of kneeling to beg for mercy even overshadowed the sound of machine gun fire. Garokov looked shocked at what happened. Hundreds of soldiers raised their hands and begged for mercy to a German paratrooper with a strange submachine gun with a curved magazine. On the other side, dozens of cannons piled together were paralyzed in the corner, and no one thought of using these weapons to fight back the invaders from the beginning to the end. At this moment, he finally vaguely guessed the German forces, which may add up to only a dozen people - and of course, a few deadly tanks. These forces formed an encirclement and annihilated most of his infantry.
