One thing that is absolutely undeniable is that the Polish army was stunned by the first wave of bombing by the German Air Force. The Polish defense line command did not know that the German Third Reich had declared war on Poland..com The Polish Army Command predicted that the German Third Reich would attack Poland in mid-September or later.

According to the words of Guderian, the armored director of the Third Reich of Germany, the military thought of the Polish army was 0 years behind. However, they were confident in their military strength and naively counted on the aid of Britain and France, so they deployed all their troops on the German and Polish borders, believing that as long as they carried out a resolute counterattack, they could win.

The Polish soldiers were very brave and tenacious. They suffered heavy losses from air strikes but still followed the orders to hold their positions. No one came to tell these tenacious Polish soldiers where their planes were and why German planes could run wildly in the air in Poland. Because the government authorities miscalculated that they were still preparing for war, no one seemed to think that the war would arrive so soon.

Before being bombed by the Luftwaffe, the commanders of the Polish army only ordered them to strengthen their positions, believing that even if Germany carried out air strikes, it would only be a small number of aircraft.

In fact, the entire Polish government has never recognized the fact that the Third German Empire has been armed as a fierce head and can tear Poland apart at any time. The Polish intelligence authorities have not failed to send back valuable intelligence from Germany. When the intelligence was transmitted to Poland, the Polish authorities believed that the intelligence personnel were deceived by Germany. The Polish head firmly believed that Germany was unable to form enough air force and armored troops under the exploitation and restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles. Germany always used models to deceive Poland, hoping that Poland would give up its invasion of East Prussia. Germany was still the army before World War I, and it was an army that relied on a large number of infantry to cooperate with cavalry.

Now, the backward army imagined by the Polish army is bombing their positions with high intensity with thunder. Any soldier who emerges must be careful of the dive shooting of the plane that makes a shrill sound. The Polish army urgently hopes that its air force can come to support it, but the facts will definitely make them feel desperate.

The German Command confirmed that the head of state declared war on Poland. Within 20 minutes after the declaration of war, the Command Command formally ordered the North Road Army Group and the South Road Army Group to carry out lightning attacks on Poland as planned. Five minutes after the offensive order was issued, at least 1,600 aircraft of various types took off from Germany and flew towards Polish territory in the first wave.

A few minutes later, the German air forces entered Polish airspace. The Polish army was honored to have the first time to experience the largest taste of sudden death and destruction in the air in human history. Tens of thousands of cannons fired on the border, and shells poured into the Polish position like rain. The Polish army was caught off guard, and 500 front-line aircraft were blown up at the airport before they could take off. Countless artillery, cars and other supplies were destroyed before they could retreat, the transportation hub and command center were destroyed, and the troops fell into chaos.

The entire bombing process lasted more than an hour. After confirming that the Air Force completed its mission, the German Wehrmacht ground forces launched a full-line attack from the north, west and southwest.

The commanders of the 3rd Armored Division can already see the Polish position in front of them from the telescope. Rommel's First Tank Regiment is carrying out a breakthrough mission. The tank troops will enter the Polish position first to fight. The soldiers of the 12th Motorized Division follow behind the tank and rely on the tank's breakthrough ability to advance quickly. The scattered and powerless blocking artillery fire told the German soldiers that the air force will complete the bombing mission perfectly.

In the rear, five minutes before the vanguard entered the Polish Army's position, Xu Yang ordered the direct artillery brigade to carry out high-intensity extension artillery on the Polish Army's position. Xu Yang reiterated strongly: high-intensity artillery must be carried out, and the task of the artillery troops is to ensure that the losses of their own troops are minimized.

Xu Yang firmly believed that war is to use all means to attack opponents. If there is no need for his soldiers, his soldiers cannot be consumed in vain. Soldiers are consumables, but as a commander, he must reduce the consumption of soldiers to a minimum. This does not mean that Xu Yang is afraid of consumption. If necessary, he will definitely order his army to move forward to the death, but the Polish army obviously has no honor to let him issue such orders.

Although not as spectacular as ten thousand artillery fired at the same time, the already scarred Polish positions were once again destroyed by hundreds of artillery, cannons and howitzers of all caliber were bombarded. The artillery brigade had the most advanced measuring instruments, and there were reconnaissance aircraft dedicated to artillery reconnaissance in the sky sent back reports. The first thing the Polish army was shelled was the hidden fire points that were not taken care of by the air force brothers, and then the possible hidden points. Until the artillery commander thought that the artillery fire could extend forward, the artillery elevation angle was debugged, and after a brief pause, the roar of the artillery sounded again. This time the artillery carried out regular extended artillery bombardment. Under rows of shelling, a large number of soldiers hiding in the trenches and bunkers could be ensured to kill the soldiers who were hiding in the trenches and bunkers.

Each collapsed ground can be understood as a bombarded military trap. According to the military rules of various countries, when the enemy is bombarded, soldiers can enter the excavated bunker under the command of the commander, that is, the hidden military trap is waiting for the enemy's artillery to end, and then enter the trench to wait for the enemy's infantry to attack.

The soil on the collapsed fortifications was covered with strange condensation pieces and rags. These were the only things left by the soldiers who were shot dead in this world. The soldiers were definitely killed by the bombardment of the 105 artillery. If they hit them directly, they could not even retain a piece of meat. The human body would be shattered by bombs, then evaporated by air waves and thrown away.

War is cruel. The soldiers of the Bo army who survived the shelling will lose their hearing, and some will even bleed from their mouths and noses temporarily lose their ability to move. Many soldiers who dodge in bunkers are not directly hit by shells, but the moment the bomb explodes will produce strong wave shock. If the mouth is not opened wide, the internal organs of the human body will be damaged by the wave shock, which may cause internal bleeding and death.

The observation points arranged by the Polish army were almost swept away by artillery. It was not until the German tanks approached the first line of defense of the Polish army that the Polish army discovered that the enemy was so close to them. The Polish officer shouted and blew a whistle to order the infantry to enter the trench. The Polish soldiers came out of the Tibetan soldiers' caves so few that most of them were in a trance, but they just entered the defense line with the orders of the executive officer. When they arrived at the defense line, the heavy machine guns that the Polish soldiers had originally set up in positions had become scrap iron. Under the command of the officers, they found enough light machine guns to prepare to massacre the German vanguard.

The Polish officers firmly believed that the German tanks ahead were just wooden boards or something disguised, and were toys without lethality. They always emphasized that there must be a large number of German cavalry behind those "toys", and the vibration on the ground seemed to make the Polish officers feel that their judgment was not wrong.

"Shoot!" Polish officers shouted a slogan of revenge. They were already waiting to see the toys be smashed by bullets, pushing the toys to be beaten into hornet's nests.

However, the fact is that the toys in the eyes of the Polish officers, whose armor kept flashing sparks and bullets were completely bounced away. The Polish officers were stunned. They had always believed in the intelligence of the command and firmly believed that the German army had only a small number of tanks, most of which were disguised. What about the fact? When white smoke came out of the gun mouth of the German tank, the Polish officer who was still thinking might be hit and then become a broken corpse.

The brave Polish soldiers did not collapse because of this. They made meaningless shooting actions. After more and more German tanks fired, the trenches were covered with fragmented corpses.

Although the situation was very bad, the Polish soldiers on the front line did not think of surrendering. They had reason to die until the last one, just because behind them was their own motherland.

Everyone has the obligation to protect their motherland. In war, there is no right or wrong in individuals, no worth or unworthiness. Before the country, individuals seem so insignificant and indispensable.

"We are not cowardly!" Polish soldiers charged bravely. They climbed the trench with individual weapons, and were then swept down in pieces by the tank's axle-turbine machine gun.

...

The entire breakthrough war took a total of half an hour. Nearly 60% of the Polish troops were eliminated and collapsed. When they were surrounded in full, the Polish commander demanded a conditional surrender. Xu Yang promised to guarantee the lives of the captives of the surrendered Polish army, personal property ownership and the treatment of the officers, but they must be completely disarmed. The Polish commander responsible for this defense signed the surrender after being guaranteed.

The Polish army commander, who served as the defense in this aspect, signed the surrender, and the route in the direction that Xu Yang was responsible for was opened. After the battle, Xu Yang sent a good news to the group army command center, and at the same time ordered the armored troops to continue advancing, leaving a motorized regiment to collect the disarmed Polish prisoners and wait for the troops behind to receive and manage.
