Chapter 200

"General! general! The Germans are attacking again! There are German tanks in the east block, and the troops there are going to be overwhelmed! They are compressing our defense and then using artillery to demoralize us An officer got into the command post and reported loudly.

Another officer who came in together was patting the dust on his body. One of his eyes was still wrapped with gauze. He could see the blood in it vaguely: "commander! News from the northern Pomeranian Legion! They have begun to break through to the East. They can't support us any more! These sons of bitches! When it comes to this time, I just want to run for my life! Asshole

"I'm not deaf! You can hear the guns! Get me the commander of the 11th army! I will personally deploy the defense in the town! The commander of the Rhodes army will never run away The commander of the Rhodes legion, kosaz, got up and said in a loud voice.

"The 11th army has broken up! The commander has already surrendered with his troops! So there's a huge hole in our defense! Sir One of the two officers bowed his head and said, "now we have a defense unit of about one infantry division here. There are 10000 disabled soldiers who retreated from the city of Rhodes a few days ago. There are about 20000 troops of the 13th army with 20 75mm guns. These troops are under our command for the time being."

"After all, Poland still has loyal soldiers." Kosatsky glanced at several civilian officers in the headquarters, as well as two officers who came to report, and said, "you must guard here! As long as the German team's fast attack is blocked! Britain and the French will attack Germany from behind. They are on our side! Don't give up

"Yes! Commander The two officers nodded and said, "Sir, according to the previous combat experience with the German army, soon the troops in the field position will be defeated by the tanks and artillery of the other side. We should be ready to fight in the street!"

Kosatsky thought for a moment and said, "give up some areas that don't need defense! Concentrate on the residential area and near the church! I will fight to the death with the German army

"Yes! Sir The two officers bowed back and the headquarters was quiet again. Kosatsky looked at the battle map on the wall and knew that his last moment was coming.

As Poland's strongest first-line main army, the Roz army has many tanks and planes that the army can command directly - but these weapons have been destroyed or become the spoils of the German army. This time, kosatsky was surrounded by German troops killed from the north. He could not escape any more.

A few hours later, kosatsky, with more than a dozen soldiers, toured most of his regiment's defense lines and saw with his own eyes that the German troops had captured a position less than 200 meters away from him. From a distance, he saw more than a dozen German grenadiers pass through the street quickly under the cover of machine gun suppression, and then put a huge Red Swastika flag on the building, which is a small factory, only 2000 meters away from the headquarters of kosatsky, The black characters in the white circle in the middle of the flag stabbed kosatsky's heart like a steel knife.

After a short rest of several minutes, the sound of sawn machine guns sounded again. Under the cover of machine guns, the German soldiers launched a fierce attack on the Polish garrison in the church area. The Polish troops fought back tenaciously, sticking to the fortifications near the church, relying on the overturned trams as temporary anti tank obstacles, inch by inch resisting the German attack.

The two sides fought repeatedly in the streets and buildings. By the evening, this once prosperous town in Northwest Poland was almost in ruins. Kosatsky had so few troops that he could not find the reserves in his hands until midnight, while the German forces surrounding the Roz army were still attacking endlessly.

The fire in the town lit up the sky, explosions and machine gun fire were heard all the time. Germany used assault guns to accompany the tanks to attack the Polish Army's defense line, followed by a large number of infantry. The main attack force ran through the streets, and then was defeated by the indomitable Polish soldiers in the buildings on both sides with grenades and machine guns.

In the end, it turns out that not all Polish troops are vulnerable. At least the elite troops of the Polish Roz army resisted the crazy attack of the powerful German army. The next morning, most of the blocks were still in the hands of the poles, but they were surrounded. Dozens of meters outside the town was German territory, and the last road to the rear was occupied by German forces, The national defense forces outside the city have completely closed this originally huge encirclement.

The battle lasted until 10 a.m., and the church was completely destroyed. Kosatsky was pulled out of the ruins of the church by his officers and hid in a small town farmer's manor, where the buildings were empty, leaving only a pile of broken furniture.

"Sir! We'd better protect you and break through! Retreat to Warsaw! Sir, you can't die here! If you die here, Poland is really over! " An officer with a bloody face advised kosatsky with a cry: "go! Sir

"Most of the troops stationed in various areas can't be contacted now. There are only about one thousand directly under our command. We lack heavy weapons and cavalry. It's hard for us to break through the encirclement!" The commander, who was covered with dust, said, "now we can only find a way to dress up as a prisoner and try to escape halfway."

"Who said I was leaving? I'm not going to die! This town is the grave of kosatsky! I want to let the German people, people all over the world know! Polish generals would rather die than retreat Said kosatsky aloud“ You can die for Poland! I can also die for my motherland Poland His eyes were full of firmness, he said aloud. In this life, he went from the smallest second-class soldier at the grass-roots level to the commander of the army. Even if he lost now, he had nothing to complain about. A soldier climbed into kosatsky's compound from the collapsed wall, slowly moved his body, and finally turned into the house through a window. He patted the dust on his body, which made the room full of smoke and dust. Smiling at the frowning soldiers, he went into the living room“ Sir It seems that the war has nothing to do with him: "the acting commander of the 11th army has been killed in the civilian residential area, where the resistance has tended to collapse, and soon the German army will target here."“ I see. Let's go back to our posts. " Kosatsky waved helplessly and sighed: "order the troops! Hold on to the last minute! Poland is on our guard! May the flag of Poland never fall“ Yes! Sir Several officers stood at attention, saluted, turned and walked out of the room. The huge living room was filled with dust, and there was a suffocating smell of decay in the air. Next door came the cries and screams of several wounded soldiers, as well as the breaths full of fear. German shells exploded not far away. It seems that the other side has confirmed their position and is organizing large caliber artillery to suppress fire. Kosatsky watched the officers walk out of their headquarters, silently took out their pistols from their waists, put them in the middle of their palms, and repeatedly looked at them. A large caliber howitzer shell hit the yard, raising black smoke all over the sky. The whole building was shaking in the explosion, the earth was shaking, and a wisp of broken stones fell down, On the table with the city defense map in front of kosatsky. Only a short time later, the German defense forces began to attack. In order to destroy the Polish defense confidence, the German army attacking the Roz even called two Stuka dive bombers to help. Under the cover of machine guns and artillery, the German army poured into the defensive positions held by the poles. Soon the Polish garrison was inundated by the firepower of the national defense forces, and the defensive circle became smaller and smaller. Kosatsky, commander in chief of the Polish Rhodes corps, ushered in his last moment. He didn't have the courage to commit suicide. He was born as a businessman and thought for a long time with a pistol. He didn't have the courage to shoot himself in the head. He just sat like that, listening to the cries of soldiers outside, he knew that death was getting closer and closer to him“ You! And you! Help over there! Tell Marva to hold on! I have no support for him! " A voice called out, and someone over there answered loudly, "yes! Sir“ What's going on with Jacques? Why no one came back to report! Get in touch! Come on Another voice trembled, but could not hear the answer. Suddenly, a large caliber shell directly hit kosatsky's building, which was already full of cracks and collapsed. Kosatsky knew nothing when he was dark. Kosatsky, the most elite Polish middle route regiment and the commander-in-chief of the Roz regiment, was hit by a large caliber howitzer in a small two-story building in a small town in the east of the city of Roz. Half an hour later, the town, which had been holding fast for two days, stopped its resistance. A group of German soldiers climbed up the ruins of the city's commanding high point church and planted a red banner symbolizing the comrades' blood and sacrifice. On the front, between Germany and Warsaw, there is no army to stop the German advance. Rommel was finally able to adjust the direction of the attack. Just now, the SS troops sent the news that the head of state, akkado? Rudolph was going to the northern army to inspect the city, the enemy's capital... This time Rommel did not hesitate, he decided to attack Poland at one go, spit out how much.
