The Third Reich in Desperation

Third Reich Episode 127

Drinking water is free. After all, this is indispensable, and it can be regarded as a kind of welfare.

In addition, there are daily necessities such as soap and toothpaste. These are originally made of leftover materials, each of which is very small, and usually only needs 4 to 5 points to exchange.

Here, the most precious thing is cigarettes.

A pack of low-quality "Clear brand cigarettes" needs a full 100 points to be exchanged once.However, this is a pack of 12, and you can draw 12 times in exchange for a pack.

And a pack of high-quality "Flying Fish brand cigarettes" can actually be exchanged, but each exchange requires a full 10000 points.So far, no one in the labor camp has actually changed to "Flying Fish" cigarettes, except for Horthy, who is in a relationship with him.After all, enjoying the points of "Flying Fish cigarettes" once is enough for them to exchange for "Clear Cigarettes" a hundred times.

Besides, no matter how frugal they were, they still couldn't make up the points to exchange for the Flying Fish cards!

Although in the outside world, the price of Feiyu brand cigarettes is very common, even in the army, everyone can lead one for free every month.But in the labor camp, things are rare and precious, this is indeed a treasure!

Horthy, who squeezed the workers and brought thousands of times the profits to the Rhine Consortium, was extremely satisfied with the benefit of getting a "Flying Fish cigarette" every month.More than once, he gave out a couple of cigarettes, or recruited his own small group, or found a few workers who worked overtime for him as "wages" for them.

After all, when working here in Horthy, one can get a pack of "Flying Fish brand cigarettes" a few times. If you work overtime in the factory workshop, it takes a thousand hours to get one!

Horthy is very satisfied with the benefits he got in exchange for his hard work, but he doesn't know that this is just one of the benefits of an ordinary soldier outside.

But today, Horthy suddenly encountered a major change.

He and his subordinates will be dragged away!

"Where are we going to be taken? Can anyone tell me!?" The nervous Horthy once again experienced the fear when he first entered the labor camp under the guns of the soldiers escorted by the SS.

Free yourself, that must be impossible!

Horthy has long seen through the essence of capitalists. Let’s just say that he worked for those capitalists in the labor camp, and he only got a small amount of “welfare” in exchange.Now if you say that these stingy capitalists will let themselves go, who would believe it? !

If he hadn't been released, wouldn't he... be shot!

Could it be that when I was the regent in Hungary, the old account of threatening Reinhardt was turned over?Now he will be settled by Qiuhou!

"I... I worked hard for the labor camp... I worked hard...you can't do this to me... ..." In desperation, Horthy burst into tears: "I don't want to die! I don't want to die!  … You can do whatever you want me to... I I don't want to die!"

Text Poland will not perish

When the high-level officials in Warsaw got the news of the fall of the Modlin Fortress, the Polish government immediately exploded.That is, of course, if they still represent the Polish government.

Under the leadership of Smi Gray, most of his cronies who are greedy for life and fear of death have fled with him to the capital of his own country, Warsaw.

After the Polish marshal who formed the dictatorship fled with his cronies, the nominal Polish government also moved out of Warsaw with their departure.

Among all the trusted generals of Smigray, the garrison general left behind in Warsaw is the only commander who is willing to stay.

His name is Filipovitz. Five days ago, he brought the 5th Cavalry Division under his command and rushed from the Eastern Front to fight on the Western Front.

It is a pity that his unit suffered a huge defeat in the first narrow encounter with the SS 6000st Armored Division, losing more than [-] elite cavalry in one fell swoop.

And because he led this elite unit to leave, the Soviet army, which had been unable to attack for a long time, was actually under the command of Timoshenko, seized the air strikes, and barely broke through the eastern Polish defense line.

Now, the remnants of the soldiers who can escape from the west have all arrived in Warsaw.Those who failed to escape were either shot dead by the German army or captured.

It is even heard that some troops refused to withdraw to Warsaw because of the despair of their commanders, and instead ran to surrender to the Germans.

Not to mention the east, the large troops of the German Army Group North and the [-]st Armored Division of the SS under the order of the Army Group South had already bypassed Warsaw and advanced hundreds of miles eastward.

On the radio three days ago, Filipowitz had heard the victory propaganda of the Soviet Union and Germany joining forces in eastern Poland.

German Propaganda Minister Goebbels actually shouted enthusiastically: "Salute to the Soviet Red Army composed of workers and peasants."

This is nothing short of a joke, a capitalist country saluting the military of a socialist country.Looking at the whole world, this is also the first case.

Before the war, the Polish government once said: "If the Germans come, we are in danger of losing our freedom. If the Soviets come, we are in danger of losing our souls."

According to this conclusion, Poland should now lose both its freedom and its soul.

Because Polish generals have always despised defense, the Polish government refused to spend effort to build fortifications.

They preferred to rely on counterattacks, and even in the absence of machinery, they still believed that their troops could effectively carry out counterattack missions.

As a result, the mechanized German army had no difficulty finding a way for the surprise advance, and most of the Polish counterattacks were easily broken.Even the only main counterattack, under Manstein's calculations, became just another feat of the German army.

Today, Smi Gray is leading the officials of the government-in-exile and fled to Romania, trying to build up a relationship with the United Kingdom there, and fled to the British Isles to establish a relatively safe government-in-exile.

On the other hand, Filipowitz assembled tens of thousands of stragglers who had retreated from the front line one after another, and joined forces with the Warsaw garrison, trying to defend the last trace of dignity of the Polish soldiers.

In Filipovitz's heart, he knew very well how sharp the Germans' offense was and how fast they advanced.

But what he didn't expect was that even the well-built fortification area could hardly slow down the Germans!

In all fairness, the soldiers of Modlin Fortress have done their duty.But in the face of the endless emergence of various new weapons by the Germans, the resistance of the Polish army seemed futile.

Judging from the current situation, Germany obviously regarded the Polish fortification area of ​​Modlin Fortress as a testing ground, and took all kinds of new weapons at hand to try them out.

As small as a single soldier's flamethrower, as large as a heavy assault gun, aviation armor-piercing projectile, and even heard that there is some kind of explosion that can generate high-temperature flames, and sputter around, emitting a high temperature of about [-] degrees Celsius, which can stick to other weapons. Long-burning fortress buster on objects!

Many very inhumane weapons made this offensive and defensive battle extremely tragic.In the Modlin Fortress, although the Polish soldiers there finally surrendered, they were absolutely worthy of the oath when they joined the army. Many Polish soldiers there shed the last drop of blood for Poland!

Although the Germans also admire the bravery of the Polish army, this does not seem to affect the rapid advance of the German army.

After the crawlers that reached the Wehrmacht were crushed to the land outside Warsaw, the noose tied to Poland's head was finally tightened completely.

This caused the entire city of Warsaw to panic!

The remaining half of the Polish government constantly called on all citizens to rise up and resist the German invasion.

The Polish army in the city also built fortifications and barricades under the arrangement of Filipovitz, trying to fight a street battle with the Germans.

Street fighting was the last tactic he could think of.

In all fairness, urban street fighting is indeed a way for the weak side to offset some of the opponent's advantages.

However, the street fighting process was very cruel. Even the elites of the German 30th Division who were surrounded in Lodz were almost wiped out by the brutal street fighting.Just how long Filipovitz can last with these remnants and defeated generals, he himself is not sure.

In urban street battles, every battle that takes place in a block or ruins will become a meat grinder, continuously devouring the lives of soldiers on both sides.This is not a good way for the Polish side, which is already surrounded, has enough troops and no reinforcements outside.

When the 30th Division of the German Army stayed to fight street fighting, it relied not only on their high morale, elite soldiers, and excellent grassroots commanders, but also on the hundreds of thousands of troops that existed on the periphery of the Southern Army Group as foreign aid.

And now almost all the troops in Poland that can still fight are in Warsaw.Moreover, the morale of these troops has fallen to a dangerous level, and most of the formations have been disrupted and have no combat effectiveness.

It stands to reason that such troops are not suitable for street fighting at all.But besides fighting in the street, can they have other methods?

On the outskirts of the city, the Southern Army Group, which was the besieging side, frantically charged towards the Polish positions again and again.

Rondstadt, who was striving to advance quickly, reversed his cautious style of play in the past. Facing the remnant Polish army with few guns and short soldiers, he mobilized a large number of main forces like a sledgehammer and called for air strikes many times.

Rundstadt is worthy of being a famous infantry general of a generation. When he commanded the infantry to fight, it was as if Mount Tai was pressing down on the top. He steadily pushed the battle line to the center of the city.Although Filipovitz tried several times to prevent the retreat of the Polish army, but because he couldn't find any flaws in Rundstede, he could only watch helplessly as the German army was getting closer and closer to his headquarters, but there was nothing he could do. .
