Chapter 180

"It's said that you all have to go to the Alps to look for a white Edelweiss in person to be qualified paratroopers?" Akado leaned against the wall, looked at the burning and beating fire, and gently asked the paratrooper borol on one side.

With a smile, borol pointed to the already withered and yellow flowers that had been inserted in a button gap beside the collar, and split his mouth with a smile: "when the first paratrooper division was formed, the rules set by the head of state were only expanded into three divisions this year, so not everyone had to go to the Alps to pick these flowers himself. Most of the time, the platoon leader will go as a representative, even if the ceremony is completed. "

With that, borol took a deep puff of his cigarette, puffed out his eyes, and then asked, "where's your home?"

"Home?" This word is a very strange existence for Ryan: "I have no home, the Fuehrer said his hometown is my hometown, Germany is my hometown. I have to kill people for this hometown, kill a lot of people, in order to get happiness. "

As he spoke, he took out the small iron box from his coat pocket, opened the lid and poured it twice before he remembered that he had eaten the last two chocolates today, so he had no choice but to smile bitterly and put away the iron box.

"I'm sorry to ask about this unpleasant thing." Said borol.

"Never mind, I'm used to it." Ryan took a look at the sleeping tank driver Bauman, and then turned his eyes to the sparks splashing and crackling fire. He sniffed: "killing people can make me feel alive. I enjoy killing the enemy in my heart... Just like you smoking. It's very comfortable."

His answer made borol very uncomfortable, but before borol spoke, Ryan shifted the topic to the ends of the earth: "you sing a good song when you are on the way. Would you like to sing another part?"

"Of course!" "It's the military song of our paratroopers," he said with a smile

"Come on, sing and listen!" Ryan said with a smile.

Without any hesitation, borol sang softly with a few paratroopers around him“

... the engine roars, accompanied by individual thinking,

Everyone's thoughts quickly passed the family.

In a flash, comrades, there's a signal to jump,

We flew to the enemy and lit the beacon fire there.

Land fast, land fast!

Comrades, it's a journey never to return.

There are black clouds in the Far East,

Come on, don't lose your head. Come on!

Our numbers are small, our blood is boiling,

We fear neither the enemy nor death.

We only know one task: Germany is in danger,

To fight, to win, to fight to death.

Pick up the rifle, pick up the rifle!

Comrades, it's a journey never to return.

There are black clouds in the Far East,

Come on, don't lose your head. Come on

"Well sung!" A general at the gate took the lead in clapping. He was followed by a staff officer and a guard with a Mauser 98K rifle.

"Attention The guard yelled.

Everyone got up from the ground. The sleeping armored soldiers got up in a daze. They patted the straw and dust on their buttocks. They stood at attention and raised their right arms: "long live the Fuehrer!"

Long live the Empire Goodrian responded with a standard salute: "your performance today is very satisfying! Please continue to honor the Empire! Win honor for yourself. "

"Yes! General All of you stand at attention again.

"Beef for the night? Good food? " Goodrian kicked the bone on the floor with his shining boots.

Everyone on the scene scratched their heads and laughed sheepishly.

"I've brought some cans! But you should have no appetite! Save it for tomorrow morning when you're on your way Goodrian laughed, then left a bag of tin cans with his staff, and took people out. Behind him, the soldiers cheered.

On the other hand, Germany's northern offensive forces have not yet gathered their offensive forces. Rommel was more adventurous than goodrian. He ignored the telegram from the headquarters of the group army, which ordered him to stop advancing. His empire's seventh armored army had two armored divisions, the sixth and seventh, which attacked all the way to the West like crazy. Only when the headquarters of the two divisions of Poland's "Pomeranian army" stopped attacking.

Rommel himself drove his car to search for his crazy advancing troops. He arranged detailed combat tasks one by one. On several occasions, he encountered the scattered Polish army. The most terrible one was that he saw the crowded Polish soldiers blocking the traffic. He got out of the car and helped the panicked poles direct the traffic for three minutes, Until his guards came up and captured the poles.

In one day's attack, the German army lost very little. The R group army and the s group army, which were on the front attack, lost 13 and 19 people respectively. Rommel's army lost one tank, 37 soldiers and one truck; Goodrian's troops lost the most, 119 people in total, most of them from the third SS Panzer Division - lack of training and bravery is the best illustration of this loss. The total number of tanks lost by the German army was two, both of which were destroyed by Polish infantry with anti tank guns.

The loss of paratroopers is not yet available, but the number reported is 172 missing and 12 confirmed dead. Two air force bombers were shot down by ground artillery fire, one plane crashed due to mechanical failure, four planes were shot down by Polish air force, and only nine pilots were killed. Even with the missing, the German army lost no more than 400 on the first day. In exchange for this loss, the German army captured 110000 Polish soldiers and killed another 7590. Three Polish division leaders, including garokov, became German prisoners. In addition, the German army destroyed and captured 100 Polish tanks, more than 900 guns, more than 300 trucks and more than 400 planes - almost one third of Poland's heavy weapons holdings. The poles still don't know what's going on along their border. The information is huge and confusing, and the most important thing is that it hasn't been processed - everyone wants to know one thing: how many Germans attacked the Polish defense and how. One of the most bizarre reports was that he captured a German soldier 110 kilometers behind the border, but the German soldier finally ran away because he was captured by five Polish farmers. But there was a general response from the army that they had been attacked by the German forces, which took place about 70 kilometers along the border. Then polish commanders got another amazing news: German tanks and armored vehicles entered the Polish defense line at one go, crushing the Polish troops who were preparing to attack Germany. These German troops equipped with a large number of cars were attacking at a high speed and had advanced a full 40 kilometers (average value) on that day. The first to respond was to see the Pomeranian Legion surrounded in the Danzig corridor. Its commander, portnowski, clearly judged Rommel's fighting intention and made a very correct but shameful decision: to leave everything behind and escape. The artillery was abandoned as a roadblock on the road, the Polish cavalry on horseback raced south over the chaotic infantry, and the troops with cars rushed on, hoping to get out of the huge encirclement before Rommel cut off their rear. However, they retreated in the front, and the German team who came up all the way in the rear was just like a shadow. This led to the defeat of Poland's Pomeranian Legion. The three divisions left behind by portnowski were surrounded and annihilated by the Germans without any resistance. The slowest artillery unit was captured by the catching up German army - but their intention was finally successful. The prisoners and equipment piled on the road slowed down the German attack, The funny thing is that these captives and equipment work better than they did when they resisted. In order to avoid the responsibility brought by the defeat, portnowski sent a telegram to Poland, claiming that he was going south to join the Poznan army, and then north to fight back against the German troops to recapture the danze corridor. It sounds very tempting, but it's full of holes. As soon as the Pomeranian Legion deployed in the Danzig corridor collapsed, the modlin Legion left in northern Poland became an isolated army. This isolated army is still in its own position, and now they have to face the German P group army in East Prussia alone. The Poznan army, which portnofsky rushed to join with, was defeated by the attack of the German army. The main force of this army gave up its defense line to the south to join the Roz army; Most of the infantry and cavalry retreated in a rout, throwing away their armour all the way to Poland. On the other side of the front, the Roz army is also retreating. However, because the German army is not oppressed too tightly, they are the best army in the whole Polish defense. However, when they heard that the German army had been found near Krakow, their morale was also shaken. On this quiet night of the first war, the German air force still did not relax its attack on the poles. Catherine ordered the air force to take off to fight and accumulate experience in the night attack. Although the results were not obvious, they enriched valuable experience for the newly born German air force. More than 700 sorties of attacks made the poles panic and spent a sleepy night. In any case, the German defense forces have been secretly experimenting with Blitzkrieg for a full decade and finally stepped onto the stage of history. As soon as they made their debut, Poland, a newly born European power, was screened.
