Transmigrated as the Crown Prince
Chapter 163: Battle of Poland (26)
When the German tanks came up, what they saw was such a hellish scene.
The wounded everywhere were dragging their bodies covered with shrapnel and screaming, and the ground was already stained red with blood. Looking at it, only a few lucky ones escaped the bombing unscathed, but judging from their expressions and behavior, it was already impossible for them to take up arms and fight back.
Before this war, no one in the world knew what "Blitzkrieg" was. For Poland and even the world, "Blitzkrieg" was a brand-new war model that broke tradition.
Unfortunately, neither General Kutsheba, the commander of the Poznan Army, nor Lieutenant General Julius Rommel, the commander of the Lodz Army, had no time traveler to teach them the essence of "Blitzkrieg", let alone how to do it. Defensive Blitz. Not only defense, but even retreat is a big skill. If you are not careful, you will end up with your entire army wiped out.
But the most unfortunate thing for them was that they never thought that there would be an elite mechanized force hidden to the teeth opposite the Poznan and Lodz armies.
The Polish army did not know the situation on the opposite side, but the German army paid close attention to their opponent's every move. In this situation of "knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger". Just when the Polish army had just withdrawn from their solid defensive positions and retreated, the German army came out in full force, breaking through the enemy's empty defense line like a group of ferocious wolves and heading towards Kill the retreating Poznan and Lodz armies. Their mission is to defeat the retreating Poznan and Lodz armies, then occupy the city of Kutno, and then go straight to Warsaw.
After clearing the way forward for the armored forces behind, the bomber units continued to fly deeper, chasing the enemies ahead. Only the armored troops on the ground were left sighing at the casualties everywhere. "Tsk, these poor guys. If they had surrendered earlier, wouldn't they have been spared such a damnation?"
"It's just that these guys are too weak. I don't think they even have a chance to fire. It's a bit boring. I said to the commander, are there too many broken troops in front? Do you want me to clean them up? Give them a shot. Turn into ashes."
Wittmann laughed and cursed. "Nerve, didn't you see that they all surrendered? Have you forgotten the military regulations?" As he spoke, he leaned out half of his body, and then retracted. "I don't speak Polish. Which of you does?"
"..." The loading hand handed over a small, palm-sized dictionary.
Just as Wittmann was flipping through the dictionary, there was a muffled sound from behind. When I looked around, I saw an aircraft that looked like a large dragonfly whizzing past, with a huge speaker hanging underneath. "Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly, don't block the road. Anyone who doesn't want to be crushed to pieces by the tanks should get off the road. Stand in line." The loud horn drowned out the roar of the engine, making your ears buzz. ring.
Polish soldiers who had never seen such an aircraft were surprised to see this wingless aircraft hovering above their heads.
Fortunately, what came out of the loudspeaker was authentic Polish. All the Polish soldiers who could move moved to the wheat fields on both sides, leaving behind guns and corpses on the ground.
"What's the name of that kind of plane?" Wittmann sighed and asked casually as he watched the aircraft easily drive the Polish soldiers off the road.
The gunner replied. "Dragonfly helicopter."
"The name is really appropriate."
At this time, the company commander's voice sounded in the headphones. "Advance at full speed, target Kutno City!"
………………………………
"What? The Germans are catching up?! What troops? There are no regular German troops on the opposite side of us, only some local defense troops. Did they fall from the sky?" Commander Kutsheba was retreating. I was shocked to hear the news that all the troops behind the palace had been wiped out. But they had already left the trench bunkers and could not launch defense on the spot. They could only leave some troops to block again and delay the German offensive.
But the vanguard of the German army was the armored force. The Polish soldiers did not have decent anti-tank weapons, nor did they have the determination to resist those steel monsters to the death, so they all collapsed at the first touch. Everyone just wanted to get away, run away now, because there was no way they could defeat the torrent of German tanks.
In the end, these broken soldiers who ran like crazy for more than ten or twenty kilometers were exhausted and sat on the road, desperately waiting to be captured. If the "Dragonfly" helicopter in the sky hadn't driven them off the road in time, they might have become an obstacle to the advancement of the German vanguard.
boom!
Just as Wittmann's sharp knife company was advancing triumphantly towards the city of Kutno, a shell hit the front armor of the tank headed by it and was bounced into the air.
"Polish armored units! Prepare to fight!"
After hearing the news that the second batch of blocking troops was defeated, Commander Kutsheba gritted his teeth and directly ordered the only armored regiment in the cluster to stay to stop the enemy and cover the retreat of the main force. Their group is mainly made up of cavalry and infantry, and this armored regiment is equivalent to his guard.
But he had no choice. He already knew that the German army had armored units that moved as fast as cavalry. Faced with the pursuit of this kind of troops, only the head-on confrontation of the armored troops can ease the enemy's attack rhythm and buy time for the large troops.
It's just that compared to the German main battle tanks that can charge into battle, the Polish tanks can only be called iron chariots at best.
The only Polish tanks that can truly be called a tank force are the ninety-eight 7TP tanks deployed by the 1st and 2nd Independent Reconnaissance Armored Companies and the 1st Light Tank Battalion. This is a tank based on the British Vickers hull, which also includes It is a twin-turret 7TPdw type without artillery and only equipped with machine guns.
The rest of the tanks are small bean-like TKS tanks. These armored forces are divided into cavalry brigades and infantry divisions. It can be said that although they are similar to the 35(t), 38(t), No. 1, and No. 2 tanks, they are , but its combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the German army.
The Kutsheba commander also seemed to have a keen eye for armored combat. When other units divided these armored forces into cavalry brigades and infantry divisions, he just put together a separate armored regiment. If possible, he might convert all his troops into armored units.
And the shell that the German tank just hit was fired by these tanks that stayed in ambush.
Polish armored forces! Wittmann suddenly became energetic. "The target is in the grove, prepare..." Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of tanks rushing out of the grove.
Seeing these "tanks", Wittmann almost laughed out loud.
Several "bean-sized" tanks, not only compared with their Jackal tanks, even compared with the Cat reconnaissance tanks in the reconnaissance battalion.
"These Polish people have brains..." Before he finished speaking, he saw a steady stream of tanks rushing out of the woods, 10 tanks, 20 tanks, 30 tanks... it seemed endless, no end!
