Plawy, a small city on the banks of the Vistula River, is also the only way for the Russian army to go south. Through here, march southeast for another day, and you will be able to reach Lublin. And it is not far from Lublin to the location of the Russian Southwest Front Army.
It's just that Pulawi is now under the control of the German army. The 8th Armored Division, and the 24th Infantry Division of the 11th Army, which took a detour south in trucks, arrived first, and this important city was seized.
The German army also paid a high price in order to seize Pulawi first. In the 8th Armored Division alone, there were less than a hundred tanks that could still be activated after arriving in Pulawi. This is the result of the armored soldiers searching for good parts to replace on the corpses of other tanks. Otherwise, the figure would have to be cut in half.
But even so, they have successfully achieved their strategic goals. After blocking the path of the Russian Ninth Army going south, the next thing to do is to tighten your pockets and get rid of them.
Just an hour after the German army occupied Pulawi, a group of Cossack cavalry appeared in Pulawi. However, when they saw the German army digging fortifications outside the city, their faces changed drastically and they fled away immediately.
The news of the German occupation of Pulawi quickly reached Admiral Letzsky.
"Asshole! How can the speed of the Germans be so fast?" Admiral Rezsky seemed unable to accept this result. After all, according to his expectation, even if they were traveling at night, their retreat speed would slow down. But they had an advantage of more than a day from the main force of the German army. In the opinion of Admiral Letzki, they were completely able to escape the Kingdom of Poland before the main force of the German army caught up. But I didn't expect it, but now it has fallen short.
"General, the Cossack cavalry has been confirmed. Pulawi fell into the hands of the Germans." A cavalry division commander said.
"General, why don't we cross the Vistula River? Then go down the Vistula River." Someone suggested.
"It doesn't work. We are only 20 kilometers away from Pulawi. Once we cross the river, the Germans will surely know. They only need to follow us across the river, and they will be able to intercept us again. What's more, Once the Germans attack while we are crossing the river, the situation will be even more unfavorable to us," retorted one of the generals.
"Could it be that we are just waiting to die here?" Some generals muttered dissatisfied.
"General, why don't we take advantage of the fact that the Germans have just arrived in Pulawi and their foothold is still unstable, so let's launch an attack immediately! The Germans are digging fortifications. With their technology, if they are given a certain amount of time, they will definitely be able to dig out solid fortifications." Fortifications. At that time, we will really be unable to fly. Take advantage of the present, launch an attack immediately, and maybe have a chance to break through the blocking of the Germans." A cavalry division commander suggested.
"Yes! In Siedlce, the Germans told us with their powerful firepower, how terrible it would be if we took the initiative to attack them. We absolutely cannot strengthen the Pulawi line of defense for the Germans Opportunity." A commander of the infantry corps echoed.
This suggestion has been supported by other generals. Everyone believes that only by launching an offensive now can they have a chance to break through the German defense line, and then it is possible to **** Pulawi and escape. If it is delayed for a while, the German army will build a solid defense line in Pulawi, and at the same time, the German army's pursuit will get closer and closer. At that time, they really have no chance at all.
"General, you can't hesitate any longer. If you hesitate any longer, it will be even more detrimental to us!"
Admiral Letsky thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, launch an attack on Pulawi immediately. Tell the soldiers that if you want to survive, you have to take down Pulawi. Otherwise, , everyone has only one dead end!"
"Yes, General."
After Admiral Letsky gave the order, the 9th Russian Army immediately took action, and the remaining more than 100,000 people in the entire army began to march south, preparing to take Pulawi in one go.
General Letzsky also believed that although the German army was ahead of them and seized Pulawi, it should be only a small force and could not be the main force. Therefore, naturally, if the Russian army launches an offensive with all its strength, it is entirely possible for him to take Pulawi.
Two hours later, the Russian army arrived in Pulawi. At this time, the German army was still building fortifications.
Although the German soldiers have worked very hard, they haven't even dug the trenches yet. As for the others, there was no time to build them. In the eyes of the rigorous Germans, such fortifications are unfinished and unqualified. But alas, the Russians won't give them enough time to build the fortifications anymore, the battle is about to start. Because the Russians knew that if the Germans built the fortifications, it would be even more impossible for them to retake Pulawi and escape.
"Warriors of the Russian Empire, now we are blocked in front and pursued in the back. If we don't fight hard, everyone will die. The Germans are cruel and will never let you live. Therefore, we Only by breaking through the German defense line can we have a chance of survival. The front is the German defense line. We have no way out!"
The low-level officers of the Russian army constantly brainwashed the panicked soldiers, aroused their fighting spirit, and let them fight desperately in the next battle. Only in this way, there may be a slight chance of winning. Otherwise, there is really no chance at all.
Those soldiers of the Russian army, although they are uneducated, are not fools. After these few battles, they also knew that the Russian army was no match for the Germans. Now they are about to be completely eaten by the Germans. Therefore, they had no other choice but to follow the orders of the officers and continue to attack until they were pierced by German bullets and went to God.
"Attack!"
When the commander of the Russian army gave the order to attack, 20,000 Russian soldiers participated in this wave of offensive.
Despair was written on their originally insensitive faces. All Russian soldiers who have participated in the battle of Siedlce know that attacking the German defense line is nothing like courting death.
"Ulla! Ulla!"
The soldiers of the Russian army, shouting slogans loudly, launched an attack on the German positions. Although, they know that such an attack is no different from courting death. However, they have no choice.
