Just when the revolutionary prophet was worried for the first time, the great plains on the border of Poland had become a terrifying sea of ​​fire. Although everyone knew that the Poland battlefield was the main battlefield of this world war, the calm situation from July last year to the present gave the officers and soldiers of the Su-Polish army stationed here an illusion, thinking that there was a solid Trotsky line of defense, and the German army would never dare to launch a large-scale attack. However, when countless large-caliber shells roared down, the officers and soldiers of the Su-Polish army deployed on the Trotsky line of defense knew that they were about to suffer a catastrophe.

It is obvious that the Germans have long been studying how to break through the Trotsky line of defense composed of countless barbed wire mesh, tunnels, bunkers, trenches and reinforced concrete fortress platforms. Perhaps because the senior management of the German Wehrmacht are old antiques left over from the last World War, their solution to this problem is also World War I. The German Krupp and Rhine Steel Company received a request from the German Ministry of Defense to develop large-caliber howitzers and train guns seven years ago. So, more than seven years later, today, hundreds of them

The 280mm and 305mm heavy howitzers/cannons, twelve 380mm train cannons, and six 420mm train cannons were placed on the front of the Poznan section of the Trotsky defense line, and piles of large caliber shells were fired out, and one large pit after another of several meters to more than ten meters deep were smashed on the defense line of the Su-Po coalition forces, and tons of soil, gravel and fragments of fortification bunkers were swept into a height of 100 meters. The explosion shock wave that spread like a landslide and cracked the Su-Po coalition soldiers in the nearby bunker were stunned or killed!

The seemingly strong reinforced concrete fortifications on the Trotsky defense line, which had spent countless efforts and wealth, were like mud and paper-stuck under the bombardment of these large-caliber heavy artillery. While these super-caliber artillery fired and bombarded, more than 10,000 210mm howitzers, 170 cannons, 150mm howitzers and 105mm howitzers deployed on the German Hitler defense line also roared at the same time!

The huge roar suddenly formed, and a high wall of fire was set off in the vast and flat Poznan border area. The earth trembled violently. The shock wave of the shell explosion rolled up the dust on the ground and went straight into the sky. Everything, including the air, seemed to tremble in the power of the God of War. Even in the east, the sound of muffled thunder rolling!

Suddenly, there were fires densely densely popping up on the Trotsky defense line. Thousands of bombs appeared at the same time, and flashes of all sizes had already formed the ocean, flooding the entire defense line, and countless Soviet and Polish GC-based warriors stationed there.

The artillery of the Subo army reacted immediately, but their counterattack began. On the western sky, a group of neatly arranged fighter jets and bombers suddenly jumped out, with a large number of them reaching an incalculable level! The cluster was flying at an altitude of 3,4,000 meters, facing the rising sun in the east. Below them, there was a whole of rolling flames and dust. Flying east for a while, you could see the rumble of fire in the Subo coalition artillery positions, and the shining muzzle flames became the best guide. The German aircraft group immediately dispersed and roared at the Subo coalition artillery positions and all attack-worthy targets on the rear assembly area to dive and drop bombs. The rear of the Subo coalition was immediately trapped in a sea of ​​death!

It is worth mentioning that in this German ground-air firepower cooperation, a Junx ju87 Stuka dive bomber that can dive and drop bombs at a high angle of nearly 90 degrees is brilliant. The large-angle dive brought unthinkable accuracy to the bombs. The sharp and sharp whistling sound made during the dive brought great impact to the defenders' psychology. The load of up to 1,000 kilograms gave Stuka super firepower, turning it into a howling god of death in the air!

The Subo coalition was almost stunned by such powerful ground-to-air coordinated firepower in an instant. Many officers and soldiers who were sleeping in the shelter were blown away by large-caliber shells falling from the sky before they could even wake up. The bombs dropped by the bombs made their rear a mess. The airplanes were roaring over the airports, garrison sites, command centers, and military highway railway lines were filled with the sound of planes. The officers and soldiers from the Subo coalition were shouting at the top of their lungs. Looking for a place to avoid shells. The officers and officers held the phone and shouted loudly at the rear command center: "The German army launched an attack on our positions with strong firepower! The German armored assault is imminent! Request for immediate reinforcements!"

Mikhail Mikhail Mikhail Rasevic, commander of the Polish Front of the Soviet Workers and Peasants Red Army, was almost awakened by the sound of the bomb explosion at the first time. Although his headquarters was located in the Polish capital of Warsaw Rasevic, Comrade Rasevic, was also a Jew, a core member of the Trotsky faction. He served as the commander of the Siberian Military Region during the civil war. He has been the vice chairman of the Revolutionary Military Commission since November 1925. He is now an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and his status in the army is comparable to Tukhachevsky. The Jewish military strategist was invited to attend a reception party at the Polish GCD last night, and was the same as Myanmar (Polish GC).

Chairman d) d d d d d d d d d d d d d d o slew a few more drinks together, and he didn't return to his command until late at night. When he was sleeping soundly, the damn German bomb fell from the sky, shaking the glass window of his command. Rashevich jumped up from the bed, took the military uniform from the sleeping female secretary and ran towards the combat command room. He saw a group of disheveled senior officers hugging near the window, staring at the explosion and burning downtown Warsaw outside in a daze. They all knew that the German army was about to attack and were preparing for resistance and counterattack as much as possible, but the power of the German air strike still caught them off guard.

Rasevic rushed in panting while holding the buttons of his military uniform. His chief of staff, Vasilevsky, hurriedly reported to him about military information. The German army focused on the Potsnan line located in the middle of the Trotsky defense line. The Soviet 21st Army, 22nd Army, and the commanders of the Polish Army's 1st Army, had already made phone calls. Reported that their frontier troops were devastatingly covered by German artillery fire. They now suffered heavy losses. Several frontier positions and rear communications have been interrupted. Moreover, the troops and artillery positions in the rear area were also severely damaged under the sudden air strike of the German army! In particular, the artillery groups affiliated to the 21st Army and the Polish Army's 1st Army have lost more than 60% due to the German bombing! Now it is urgently needed to support, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure that the defense line is not lost.

Lasevic's face turned pale and realized the seriousness of the problem. On the one hand, he ordered his left and right to send emergency telegrams to Moscow, and repeatedly asked the staff members who seemed a little uneasy: "Have the German armored cluster started to launch an attack? Is the assembly ground of the tank cluster ahead subjected to German air strikes? When will the various tank troops be ready to attack?"

At this moment, Lieutenant General Feng Boke, deputy chief of staff of the German Defense Army, and Major General Shangguan Yunxiang, head of the Chinese military delegation to Germany, were guarding a concrete fortress on the Adolf Hitler's defense line. They each held a gun team mirror and looked at everything in front of them with all their attention. Everything in the fortress near the front was trembling violently, and the thick smoke came from the Soviet position with the east wind. The two of them were so angry that they burst into tears, but they still didn't know it, and just stared at the eyes and carefully observed the suffering that the Su-Po coalition forces were suffering.

Shangguan Yunxiang knew that what the German army was launching was not a real general attack. It was a feint attack launched in order to cooperate with the military actions that the Chinese National Defense Force would take in the three Xinjiang regions of Central Asia. The purpose was to attract the Soviet army's general reserve team to the Polish battlefield to the greatest extent.

Although it was a feint attack, the German army still invested more than 1 million offensive forces, including 20 armored grenade divisions. At present, the German armored grenade divisions are the same as the strengthened Chinese armored grenade divisions. They are all equipped with an armored regiment and a self-propelled artillery regiment. Each division has more than 200 tanks and attack artillery. The 20 armored grenade divisions have a total of more than 4,000 tanks and attack artillery! According to the plan, such a powerful armored assault force will be divided into two armored assault clusters. Armored assaults will be launched from both north and south Poznan, north and south respectively. If everything goes well

In other words, the German army's feint attack is very likely to capture Poznan, an important western Polish city, and attack a protruding part of the Valta River. However, it is not realistic to go further. After all, Poland is the focus of the Soviet Union's defense. More than 2.5 million Polish Red Army and more than 3 million Soviet Red Army are still 200,000 to 300,000 German Red Army deployed on Polish territory with a total area of ​​less than 300,000 square kilometers. Moreover, east of the Trotsky defense line, the Soviet-Polish coalition forces also built a multi-level large-depth defense system based on several major rivers in Poland, which cannot be broken through by millions of German troops and thousands of tanks.

The 30-minute active shooting was followed by a pause for 10 minutes, waiting for the gun smoke to dissipate before observing the shooting effect, and then another 30-minute active shooting, and then the Soviet-Polish coalition defense positions in the small town of Desert Tuwei on the south bank of the Valta River and the Koshiqiang in the southwest of Poznan. The powerful artillery force of 82 artillery regiments was turned into barrage shooting, covering two armored assault clusters composed of 1,000 tanks, attack artillery and 100,000 offensive troops each advanced, and tearing open two thrusts over 20 kilometers wide at the front line of Desert Tuwei and Koshiqiang. Then more armored troops and motorized infantry followed up and rushed straight to Poznan, a major town on the Valta River, and reached a breakthrough in the center of the entire Trotsky defense line!

Poznan was once the most important industrial center in Poland. Although after the victory of the Polish Revolution, a large number of industrial enterprises moved east to the Lublin area near the Soviet Union, the infrastructure in Poznan was still the best in Poland, with a dense railway and highway network. Because it is in the center of the Trotsky defense line, it is still an important material reserve base and a gathering point for military transportation lines. Taking this place, it can completely separate the overall defensive situation of the Trotsky defense line and divide it into two parts that are difficult to echo! Therefore, this is also the top priority in the Trotsky defense line. Once there is a loss, the Soviet army will definitely make every effort to provide assistance.

On the south bank of the Valta River, General Max Hoffman, commander of the German Central Army Group, also stood on a high ground. Accompanied by a group of staff, he held a telescope and looked at the battlefield opposite. Under the high slope where he stood, an armored assault cluster consisting of thousands of tanks, attack artillery, thousands of tracked armored personnel carriers and thousands of semi-tracked armored vehicles had completed the entire team. A nearly perfect huge wedge-shaped assault formation was arranged. The rumbling sound of the motor almost overshadowed the loud bang of cannons, and the assault of the German armored cluster was finally about to begin!

"Comrade Commander. Comrade Valetsky of the 1st Polish Army of the 1st Polish Army reported that the Polish 2nd Division position on the south bank of the Valta River was attacked by a German tank cluster! The Germans invested at least 1,000 tanks!"

"Report, Comrade Valzky of the 22nd Army reported that the 92nd Division west of Koshiqiang was attacked by a German armored cluster 20 minutes ago. Now it has lost contact and the position is very likely to have been lost! Comrade Valzky requests immediate reinforcements!"

"This Polish idiot!"

When he heard the report that the commander of the 22nd Army of Polish origin, Walzky, who had always been known for his calm mind, could not help but be furious. You should know that the battle has just begun. The Germans only launched the first wave of offensives!

The Chief of Staff of the Polish Front, Wasseylevsky, also walked to Rashevich with a serious face: "Comrade Commander, the current situation is already very obvious. The Germans tried to encircle Poznan from the north and south wings. After seizing Poznan, they attacked our army in depth. Judging from the current situation, this attack was different from the past. It was not tentative, but was a real move. Their first wave of attacks invested more than 2,000 tanks and strongly attacked artillery! The 1st Army of the Polish Army and our 22nd Army of the Army of the Polish Army must not be stopped. Now the reserve team must be put into the direction of Poznan."

Lasevic nodded. The attack of 2,000 tanks was indeed not something that two infantry armies could resist. Fortunately, his Polish front had extremely sufficient troops, enough to flood the German tank sea with the sea of ​​people. He looked at Huasilevsky and found the telegram in his hand, so he asked: "Comrade Huasilevsky, whose telegram is this?"

"It was sent from Moscow, and the General Staff of the Red Army wanted to know the scale of this German attack."

...

"Comrade Rashevich called a call. According to the current situation, the German White Army has invested at least 10 armored grenade divisions and 10 motorized infantry divisions in the direction of Poznan. It accounts for about 10% of the current German armored assault forces. It is estimated that there are also the same number of armored grenade divisions and motorized infantry divisions ready for the second wave of assault. The southwestern Bethel-Germany front deployed in Czechoslovakia also had abnormal movements, and the radio signal increased by more than 10 times compared to usual. In addition, the Balkan Front reported that the Balkan Army Group of the Bethel-Germany Group had stopped offensively and turned to defense a few days ago, and the number of dispatches of the Bethel-Germany Air Force was significantly reduced..."

In the office of the Kremlin, Tukhachevsky stood in front of a large military map and introduced the latest situation of the Politburo to Trotsky and several members of the Political Bureau of the United Communist Party. Trotsky's face was gloomy and his eyes were fixed on Poland on the map, as if he was calculating something. Klestinsky, Skjensky, Yuefei and Vattis and others also frowned. When they heard the abnormal movement of the German Southwest Army Group in Czechoslovakia, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Skjensky exclaimed: "Comrade Tukhachevsky, the purpose of the Germans is to encircle Poznan and Silesia's Red Army! If they capture Poznan and then turn to the south and cooperate with the Baird Southwest Army Group in the north, then our two army groups will be trapped in the encirclement!"

"If Poznan is captured by Beth Germany, we will indeed have a big trouble. The Polish front is likely to step back and face some troops in the siege. But Poznan is obviously not so easy to be captured." Tukhachevsky smiled confidently and tapped Poznan on the map with the instruction stick in his hand:

"Poznan is the core of the entire Trotsky defense line. Since 1923, we and the Poles have built building blocks and fortress groups. At present, five independent large fortresses have been built on both sides of the Valta River, and large areas of fortification have been covered by these fortresses. On the west bank of the Valta River, close to the city of Poznan, we are fortresses No. 1 and 2, where we deployed 8 305mm cannons and 12 254mm cannons. On the east bank of the Valta River, fortresses No. 3 and 4 are also built on both sides of the railway bridge leading to Warsaw, equipped with 6 305mm cannons and 12 254mm cannons. And the city of Poznan

The main urban area, that is, the west bank of the Valta River, has also been transformed into a fortress city, which is the No. 5 Fortress of the Poznan Fortress Group and is also the core fortress, equipped with 4 356mm cannons, 12 305mm cannons and 18 254mm cannons. In addition, we have deployed more than 800 howitzers, more than 100mm howitzers, cannons and more than 300 heavy anti-aircraft guns in the areas around the Poznan Fortress Group. The number of defenders stationed in the Poznan Fortress Fortress Area also has as many as 3 armies, with a total force of more than 200,000. It can be said that they have strict defense and are as solid as a shabby!" (To be continued...)
