Chapter 163 - Battle of Poland·Declaration of War

Ludwig stopped talking nonsense with František. He directly pulled out the pistol at his waist and shot František's head into a rotten watermelon.

"Run or die, choose one for yourself." Ludwig put away his pistol and said lightly to the rest. After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the car he was riding in.

More than a dozen people looked at each other in dismay, and then invariably ran towards the wild. After all, standing is absolutely dead, and running has a chance.

However, there is really only a "first line" of life here. Hundreds of SS soldiers started to fire freely the moment more than a dozen people started to run. After a burst of gunfire, more than a dozen people all fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Ludwig in the car sneered, and then instructed the adjutant beside him, "Tell the Führer that the 'canned goods' operation is complete, and the 'white plan' can be implemented!"

Berlin, Germany, the German War Headquarters.

An officer in charge of information transmission took a telegram, hurried to Lyon and handed it to Lyon, salutes him and said, "My Führer! General Ludwig sent a message back in Glewitz, saying Operation 'Canned Goods' has been successfully completed and the 'White Plan' can be implemented!"

"Very good!" Lyon took the telegram, glanced at it, put it aside, and asked a staff officer in charge of army intelligence in the combat command: "How are the preparations of the Third Army and Army Group C?"

"Report to the head of state, the 3rd Army Group and the C Army Group are already ready!" the staff officer replied loudly.

"What about the Air Force and Navy?"

"The participating troops of the First Air Force and the Fourth Air Force of the Air Force are all ready!"

"The 1st Aircraft Carrier Detachment, Battleship Detachment, 1st Heavy Cruiser Detachment, 7th Destroyer Detachment, and 1st Marine Division of the Navy's High Seas Fleet have all arrived outside the Danzig Corridor and are ready to liberate Danzig!"

"Very good!" Leon laughed, "Let Ribbentrop declare war on Poland! Order, all troops will attack Poland according to the predetermined plan of the 'white plan'!"

After hearing Leon's words, all the officers in the combat headquarters stood up, raised their right hands and shouted, "Long live Germany! Long live the Führer!"

At the same time, the front-line troops who received the attack order, under the leadership of the officers, began to set off from the attacking position and crossed the German-Polish border.

While shouting "For Germany! For the Führer!", they attacked the Polish hinterland at high speed under the leadership of the armored troops.

Half an hour after Germany declared war, Italy, Spain, Czechoslovakia, Finland and other Axis powers declared war on Poland.

Speaking of the Deborah front, what stood in the way of the German Third Army was the line of defense composed of the "Poznan" Army and the "Lodz" Army.

The Polish Corridor (Danzig Corridor) was defended by the "Pomeranian" Army, and their opponents were the German Army Group C and the three-sided attack of the 1st Marine Division (East Prussia, Baltic Sea, Pomerania).

Deployed to the south to defend Czechoslovakia were the "Krakow" armies and the "Carpathian" armies.

Poland, on the north bank of the Warta River.

Hoffman sat in the "Wolf" infantry fighting vehicle, carrying his G41SG, and carefully searched the surroundings with the 4x optical sight on the G41SG through the shooting hole of the vehicle body.

"Hoffman, did you see anything?" Hans, who was sitting next to him, asked casually, holding his MG42.

"It's so foggy that I can't see it," Hoffman replied, still trying to search.

It is now four in the morning on May 1, 1939, just four hours after Germany declared war on Poland in the early morning of May 1. As the vanguard of the SS troops, the SS17 advanced to Warta, 60 kilometers away from the German-Polish border. On the west bank of the river, counting the distance between the starting offensive position and the German-Polish border, they advanced a full 75 kilometers toward the Polish hinterland in just 4 hours.

"It's so boring," Hans complained as he took out a compressed biscuit from his pocket and gnawed it, "I now suspect that the first four hours we've met were civilians who couldn't even give us any pressure. ."

"That's the strength of the air force's brothers." Squad leader Gero rolled his eyes, "Do you see that we have had a serious fight with them? When did we not call for air support before reaching the Polish position?"

Hans curled his lips when he heard the words, and called to Anneke who was beside him, "Hey! Newcomer! Lend me a drink from the water bottle, I'm finished!"

Hearing this, Anneke pulled the water bottle from the back of the backpack and threw it to Hans, saying, "Here it is! Also, don't call me a newbie! I'm a 3-year veteran of the army!"

Hans pouted, opened the water bottle, took a sip, and said, "I don't care if it's later than me, that's the newcomer." After speaking, he screwed the bottle cap on and threw it back to Anneke.

Anneke reluctantly took the water bottle and didn't speak any more.

In fact, Anneke understood that the reason why Hans insisted on calling himself "the newcomer" was because the battle in Berg Village had caused a huge trauma to his heart, so he never wanted to forget everything at that time.

No wonder, after all, in the battle of Berg Village, each of them had more than 200 people, and more than 30 people died, and only three of the 13 people in their class died, including Fogel, his best friend in the class. It's normal for Hans to have some psychological problems.

So Anneke no longer cares that he has been calling himself a newcomer in front of 10 real newcomers.

"Stop! We're going to fix it here, and in four hours, at eight in the morning, we'll be advancing to the Warta River and taking control of a railway bridge there. So, folks, take advantage of these four hours. Take a good rest!" The voice of the company commander Gaise came from the car radio.

The old company commander was seriously injured in the first battle of Berg Village. Although he was sent to the hospital and was lucky enough to save his life in time, he was also unable to join the army due to his serious injuries. The good acting company commander, Geise, took over from the old company commander and became a new company commander.

And originally Gro can be the platoon leader, Hoffman and Hans can be the squad leaders respectively, but because they were reluctant to part with their comrades, they made a special application after a series of reconstructions and continued with Anneke, the only surviving newcomer. Be a class comrade-in-arms.

"As usual, I, Anneke, Hans, and Hoffmann are on duty for an hour each, and the others rest." After receiving the order to repair, Grow said, "I am the first, you go to bed first. "

"Okay." Hans nodded, "I'll go to the toilet first. I drank too much water."

Having said that, Hans put down his MG42, jumped out of the car, and walked outside the company camp.

After a sound of water, Hans sighed comfortably, then put on his pants and planned to return to the camp.

However, just as he turned around, he suddenly found that the color of a grass not far away was a bit wrong.

Just as he looked at it curiously, "Grass" suddenly stood up and aimed a pole at him.

It was a rifle.
