Chapter 246 Dispute
The Polish artillery quickly became the military achievements of the "rookies". When Reichnau saw that it was almost done, he continued to yell:
"Drive enemy ammunition quickly and support our front with all our strength, hurry..."
The "Rookie Team" shouted and turned the front of the car and rushed towards its own line. Soon a shocking explosion came from the artillery position of the Polish army, and the artillery of the Polish army was completely finished. The attacking forces of the Polish army, which were invading and retreating, collapsed completely under the fierce attack of more than 100 "sandbag trucks" in Reichnau. They would be killed on the spot if they resisted. The principle of the German army was to either surrender or choose to die.
"Dada...I won't fight anymore...We surrender."
Hundreds of Polish troops laid down their weapons, and of course the prisoners stayed in the prisoner camp. At this time, there would be basically no incidents of killing prisoners in the German army.
The rookie team was immediately arranged to clean the battlefield, rescue the wounded on their own and prepare to retreat. Reichnau also summoned the captain named Jerry alone:
"Hi! Hitler, report to the commander of the army, Captain Jerry comes to report."
"Captain, you are brave. I am very proud to have a frontline commander like you. Captain, you deserve the medal."
"Report to the commander, my soldiers are the most tenacious, brave and loyal soldiers, and they should receive medals."
"Yes, you are a competent commander, so let's talk about the casualties and the rough results of your company."
"Report to the commander, we were 184 people in the company when we participated in the war. Now we have 18 people living with serious wounded people. Each of them fought very bravely and tenaciously. We killed a total of about 800 Polish troops."
Reichnau looked at Captain Jerry, who was covered in blood. His ragged face had long been darkened by gunpowder, and only two bright eyes were still turning. However, from Jerry's spirit, sad but not depressed, he was a rare front-line commander. In time, there was still a lot of room for improvement.
"Captain Jerry, I approved your company to receive the collective second-level Iron Cross, and you can now call it Major. Now the troops you command are the people I brought with you. The names are the rookie camps, because they are the troops formed by grooms, chefs, and firebos. I hope you will lead this rookie camp into an elite force. You dare to win battles. Do you have confidence in the troops that can win battles?"
“Have confidence.”
"Follow me into Warsaw City. Rommel and Li Mo have already won half of Warsaw City. These two are your goals."

In the Operations Hall of the Ministry of Defense in London, England, several famous generals were arguing fiercely. The reason for their argument was very simple. Churchill, MacArthur, and Charles de Gaulle stood together firmly. Hitler and his senior officials were "idiots" + "stupid pigs", while Montgomery and Eisenhower were much more rational.
The impatient MacArthur expressed his opinion while waving the big pipe in his hand:
"You see, although Germany has sent a large number of planes now, how many Polish troops are there? More than 200,000 people, that is not more than 200,000 pigs. How many people can the German planes kill? 30,000 or 50,000 people. The Polish troops still have 200,000 for attacks. You must know that the Polish troops are in the Patriotic War, so don't underestimate their determination to fight to the death.
I think the German army had such a huge circular defensive position, with a straight line distance of more than ten kilometers, so it was impossible for them to have many troops to deploy defense. The German army could only arrange guard forces on the edge of the circular position. They could at most organize a mobile force. In such a wide defensive position, are they with wings? So as long as the Polish army attacked fiercely from three sides, the German army would definitely lose sight of one thing. As long as the German army's material base was destroyed, the German army would be immediately finished.
You guys are looking at this, Marshal Luo Ci did this, so I'm sure that the stupid pig Reichenau must be almost finished."
After MacArthur finished speaking with spit, Churchill quickly helped:
"Yes, General MacArthur said it very well, and the analysis was very accurate. I fully support General MacArthur's point of view. Reichnau's stupid pig is over. If the Polish army can kill the stupid pig with his finger, I really want to make him a roast pig, hahaha..."
Eisenhower took a light sip of coffee before he said slowly:
"I say you two, don't be too sure. War may be unexpected. If German German commander Reichonau is not really stupid, he can use most of his armored division to go north to fight the Polish tank troops and then carry out carpet bombing with aircraft. He can completely delay the attack on the southeastern two lines of the Polish army. As long as the German army drags the eastern and southern lines for two or three hours. In about two or three hours, the second wave of German bombing in Germany will probably be coming soon. My general, the Polish army's troops can withstand several carpet bombings in the unblocked Polish plain? So I don't agree with your point of view. I think there are variables before the war is completely decided."
De Gaulle immediately became dissatisfied and shouted loudly:
"I don't agree with General Eisenhower's remarks. The Polish army has been suppressed this time. Even if Germany has air supremacy, Germany will attack Warsaw on the one hand and defend against the Polish army on the other hand. I think Germany's 15th mechanized army is over."
Montgomery is much more sleek. Churchill is now the prime minister. Montgomery doesn't want to oppose Churchill explicitly, because from this situation, Churchill is the toughest hawk, and Chamberlain's appeasement policy has been completely thrown into the trash can.
Chamberlain was highly condemned in history, but in fact, his concept of peace was supported by many people at that time. He was highly condemned mainly because of his personal stubbornness and the nature of not accepting different opinions. He removed all cabinet members who disagreed with his foreign policy. He believed that his responsibility as a British leader was to maintain peace in Europe. He felt that the best way was to treat Germany with goodwill and try to satisfy their wishes. He wishfully thought that people as leaders would inevitably be able to reason, so Hitler should also be a reasoning person. Chamberlain had a nickname before the outbreak of the war: "I love Mr. Berlin".
However, no one can point out what would have been the difference if Britain had not implemented an appeasement policy at that time? France was unwilling to go to war at that time, Italy joined the Axis powers, the United States maintained isolationism, and Britain actually had no allies among the major powers at that time. Chamberlain used this period to accelerate Britain's reorganization plan and improve the update of the radar defense system and the air force. All of this played a key role in the later British defense war led by Churchill. Therefore, in recent years, some people believe that Chamberlain's overall policy ideas at that time were still logically clear.
On September 1, 1939, Germany attacked Poland, but the Chamberlain government did not declare war immediately because France had only defense but no intention of attack. Chamberlain only claimed that if Germany withdrew from Poland within two days, Britain would assist them in negotiations. He was under great pressure from parliament. The Conservative MP leader warned him that if he did not declare war again, the government would collapse. After obtaining the agreement between France and Britain, Britain did not officially declare war until September 3.
The first eight months of the war began were called "fake war". Because there was no war, it was maintained until Hitler attacked the Netherlands. After Britain and France declared war on Germany in history, a very strange phenomenon occurred. There was no war between the two sides. Britain and France did not take the initiative to attack Germany, and the German army did not provoke the British and French coalition forces. Everyone lived peacefully in this way. It was not until Germany attacked the Netherlands that the war between the two sides officially broke out... (To be continued, please search Piao Tianyi, the novel is better and faster!
