Chapter 706： Warsaw on the 7th (1)

The declaration of war by Britain and France had no effect on Romania. Before attacking Poland, the Romanian government was mentally prepared. The declaration of war between Britain and France did not cause much disturbance at all, except for a few words from the people.

When Britain and France declared war on Romania, Lieutenant General Hoffman, the commander of the Northern Army, had already arrived in Lublin. Romanian officers and soldiers are now everywhere in the city, and a large number of vehicles and tanks have blocked the city. The local residents only dared to hide in the house and secretly observe these intruders.

Fortunately, these invaders did not do any harm to the city, and even paid for the purchases.

Hoffman is no stranger to this city. When he helped Poland resist the Soviet invasion, reinforcements from Romania passed through here to fight the Soviet army. Moreover, Lublin was still the logistics base for the Romanian army, and he did not go to Lublin to collect supplies.

It's just that there is a lot of change now compared to then, and he almost can't recognize it.

It's just that he is not in the mood to observe the city that has just been captured.

When he arrived at the headquarters of the municipal government, Major General Bordas, the commander of the Third Armored Division, and his party had already been waiting here.

"General, please inside."

Faced with the former subordinate who made great contributions to the capture of Lublin, Hoffman patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement. "Thank you, Bordas."

Facing Hoffman's encouragement, Major General Bordas rarely showed a shy expression. "This is all the general's good guidance."

Faced with Bordas, Hoffman laughed loudly. "You are too modest, this time the credit is yours. If you hadn't defeated and encircled the enemy's 3rd Cavalry Brigade, how could you have captured Lublin so quickly."

That's right, even he hadn't expected the Third Armored Division to be able to capture Lublin so quickly. In fact, even Major General Bordas did not think of this problem.

After annihilating the Polish 3rd Cavalry Brigade, the prisoners were interrogated and received a message. That is, after them, there is no formed army between Lublin, and Lublin has only one regiment garrisoned.

When this news was known by Major General Bordas, he couldn't help being overjoyed. This was simply a credit given to him by God. Immediately he gathered all the tanks and vehicles, and with the strength of a reinforced regiment, the Starry Night rushed to Lublin immediately. And this unit did not disappoint him, and rushed to Lublin late that night.

The Polish troops stationed in Lublin were not mentally prepared for Romania's sudden attack. Faced with a sudden attack by tanks and infantry of the 3rd Armored Division, it collapsed at once, so Lublin, the important site linking Poland, fell into Romanian hands dramatically.

Among them, General Modokski, who is the army of the Zakarpaqian group, has to bear the main responsibility. Because he placed the main force near the border, resulting in too few troops in the rear. In addition, the 3rd Cavalry Brigade was completely wiped out by the 3rd Armored Division by accident, which caused the loss of even a formed unit from Lublin to Zamosc.

This is entirely a gift to the offensive Northern Army, but Hoffman will not issue a medal for it.

After entering this headquarters that was rebuilt by the city government, everyone's eyes were bright, and the magnificence of this place was beyond imagination.

I saw Major General Bordas speak proudly. "Is it shocking? When I saw it before, I thought it was a palace, but after careful confirmation, I realized that it was the city government."

Facing Major General Bordas, Hoffman said after taking a look at him. "It turned out to be really a palace. It was just a summer palace in Russia. I also asked Polish people to know."

It's just that when he came here, he wasn't here to talk about changing it into a place of interest. I saw him ask. "Is the meeting room ready?"

"Already prepared."

"Take us over."

When I came to the meeting room, I saw the prepared chairs. They were not simple at all. On the contrary, they were very luxurious. The leather carved chairs and gilt tables did not feel like attending a meeting, but preparing to attend a banquet.

Facing such a situation, Major General Bordas defended. "This is all left by the Poles. We are just using waste."

Hoffman didn't say anything about it, because he was in a hurry. "Okay, ready to have a meeting."

Following his words, all the officers were seated.

After the officer behind him hung up the map, Hoffman said with his baton. "Now let me talk about the next deployment."

Facing Hoffman's words, all the officers present cheered up. This is when you are assigning tasks, you can't help but be distracted.

"Now our Northern Front Army has initially completed the first phase of combat missions. According to the original plan, we should help the Southern Front Army to encircle the Polish Transkarpaqian Army."

What Hoffman said, everyone present knows, because this was the original plan. However, since the Lieutenant General, now he comes out and said, it will definitely change.

Sure enough, I saw Hoffman continue talking. "But after discussing with General Ankodar, the commander of the Southern Front Group Army, I found that we don’t need all our members to help them. Only two or three divisions are enough. So I plan to use the third armored division, the 17th division, and the motorcycles. The three units of the 87th Division formed a combat group to help the Southern Front Army, led by the Chief of Staff General Torres."

The commanders named by Hoffman didn't have any expressions, because they knew there were more.

Sure enough, after talking about helping the Southern Front Army to encircle, Hoffman continued. "Next, our remaining troops will not do nothing. Because I found that the enemy's hinterland is very empty, and I use our troops to continue the assault."

Hoffman paused when he said that, and found that everyone was paying attention to him.

"So, I decided to concentrate the first and fourth armored divisions and the 65th and 71st motorized infantry divisions to form a combat group. The goal is to Warsaw Hoffman’s voice fell, and it was immediately attracted. There was a commotion among the officers on the scene. Who doesn't like the taking of the enemy's capital. For this group of people who are eager for military exploits, it is simply an incomparable temptation.

And Hoffman's words made the other division commanders who were assigned to help the Southern Front Army look envious. They could not wait to change the task, especially Major General Bordas, who tried to speak several times, but held back.

He knows his own affairs, and the third armored division on this route has already received enough credit, and if he gets stronger, he will have a bad relationship with other friendly forces. Moreover, he damaged a lot of equipment before, although most of them can be repaired, but now he can't become his own combat effectiveness. So in the end he still did not speak.

"Come out tomorrow morning, and you will check your equipment and prepare supplies."

Finally Hoffman said the time of departure. It seemed that the plan was rushed, but for those present, they had already understood the enemy's actual situation thoroughly during the battle with the Polish army. This time, the success rate of the plan reached about nine levels, which is enough for a gamble.
