Chapter 13
The Soviet Red Army, which had invaded the city, was highly morale. In their eyes, although they were facing the desperate resistance of the Poles, it might not take long to overcome the city. The Red Army soldiers bent over and followed the shaking tanks on the rubble and moved forward together.
But no one would have thought that the Poles would suddenly launch a counterattack. At this moment when dawn was approaching, the sky suddenly changed tremendously.
There were waves of flashes, as if I was about to remember countless thunders. The sound of bombardment of the platoon followed the flash and passed to my eyes. The soldiers of the Soviet Red Army who were still attacking just now stopped one by one, revealing a look of fear.
As a veteran on the battlefield of bandit suppression in China, this kind of artillery fire is called "hell" by the veterans!
It is extremely difficult to be able to safely hide and protect one's own life in the "hell" formed by dense bombardment of artillery of various caliber.
The dense sound of cannons, the sound of the sound in the ears of all the soldiers, was as continuous as a "whirring" wind when a storm was about to come. At this time, the Polish soldiers guarding the fortress of the fortress of the fortress of the fortress of the fortress of the fortress of the Soviet Red Army, were hiding their bodies in hidden places.
Immediately afterwards, the shells fired by these flasks of air came into the air. With the roar of explosions, the broken building was blasted into rubble. The fragments were stimulated into the sky by another explosion, and then fell like raindrops.
The earth shook, trembling as if it had turned into a swamp, and none of the people trapped in this blood sea hell could stand firm. In the violent explosion, balls of flames that were particularly hideous in the night were blasting. The attacker's tanks and armored vehicles burned under the attack of groups of shells. In the dust of the explosion, the shadow of death was filled with the shadow of death.
With the cover of the platoon gun shooting, in the places illuminated by these flames, groups of Polish soldiers wearing square military caps launched a desperate counterattack!
They emerged from the ruins of the buildings from places that seemed impossible to have life. In the gap between the flash of artillery fire, groups of Polish soldiers attacked forward under the cover of mortars, bazooka, and flamethrowers.
In the dark night, the Soviet Red Army's artillery support and the counterattack of tanks were affected. On the contrary, the infantry's attacks were more powerful in the melee battles that occurred in the dark. Machine guns and submachine guns were more suitable for fighting in the dark night. They sprayed out flames, forming lights like fireflies in the night.
At the same time, a large number of infantry soldiers launched coordinated attacks from the resistance hubs that were surrounded by the Red Army. The battle in the dark, especially a bloody battle. Hand-to-hand combat can be seen everywhere in the urban areas that have turned into rubble.
The Polish soldiers wearing square hats screamed, and their weapons collided with the weapons of the Soviet Red Army soldiers. At this time, they were surprised to find that the weapons used by the other party were almost exactly the same as those they used.
When they fell to the ground, looking at all these terrible things, waiting for the medical soldiers who would arrive at some point, some sadness flashed through their minds. They seemed to understand something, and in the footsteps of the god of death, they seemed to see the smile of the "King of War".
The Red Army soldiers who were hit by fierce artillery fire and were attacked from both sides did not effectively prevent the Polish soldiers from counterattacking them. The tanks suffered considerable losses from the flamethrowers of the opponent's infantry and the bazooka under the fierce attack, and in the end they had to retreat.
When dawn came, most of the city of Warsaw had returned to the hands of the Polish army. Then, Joseph Pisusky, as the commander, sent such a telegram.
"Warsaw is still in our hands, and every defender is still fighting!"
Such a brief telegram flew over the vast space and reached northwest of Kazakhstan. Now this country is already a very lively area, not because of the booming development of the tourism industry here, but because there are too many troops here.
Here are the Chinese Federal Defense Forces from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the US military, the "Royal Guards of Russia", and the "Thunder International" take some troops from Britain and France. The latter two are just unwilling to represent the alliance of the United States and the Chinese Federation to represent the alliance of the international community, and have to send two regiment-level combat troops. As for the United States and the Chinese Federation, they are all light-equipped troops, and their function is to maintain peace.
However, the telegram that just arrived had little to do with them. Instead, the "Russian Royal Guards" and "Thunder International" began tense combat equipment shortly after the telegram arrived.
The troops of the League of Nations and the Chinese Federation had no reason to attack the Soviet Red Army. Although they invaded Poland's territory and Western Ukraine, which wanted independence, this was not a reason to attack a sovereign state. In addition, these troops were not willing to attack the Soviet Union. After all, no country was willing to conduct excessive military operations in peacetime that consumed national strength.
There is no problem with the "Russian Royal Guards" and "Thunder International". One can be legitimately ordered by the Russian Royal family, and the other is a military operation because the Soviet Union did not pay the price it should be paid. They all have sufficient reasons to launch military operations, but they are all just debt collection.
This is enough for Patton to be jealous.
As a US officer who had military "communications" with the Chinese Federation, Patton was promoted, and now he has a star on his helmet. This time the mission is not much attractive to Patton. After all, this is just a peacekeeping mission of low-martial conflict, and it really doesn't arouse his interest than war.
Therefore, most of the time he stayed in the joint command post of the "Thunder International" that was about to engage in high-intensity wars and the "Russian Royal Guards" led by Kolchak. Although he could not participate in the war, it would be fine.
"This is really an enviable thing!"
Patton looked at Cai E, Guderian, Rommel, and Manstein in front of the sand table of combat. When he spoke, his tone was full of envy.

As for Cai E, as a very pure soldier, the work on the desk will never be a suitable job for him. Now, as the future chief of staff of the General Staff of the Federal Defense Forces, this time, he will be the joint command composed of "Thunder International" and "Russian Royal Guards" to jointly carry out this battle. As the last battle before he served as commander-in-chief of the Federal Alliance, Cai E hopes to get a good score.
When he was studying in the United States, he was surprised to find that the founders of the "air-ground integrated warfare" and "armor cluster" theory studied in West Point Military Academy were all Tang Yunyang. Deep in his heart, he couldn't help but have deep doubts about Tang Yunyang's origin, especially the world's first aircraft carrier, and every aircraft carrier battle group in the world, all of which came from him directly or indirectly, which made him ask this question.
"Is it possible? Is there such a comprehensive military wizard in this world? It's really hard to believe!"
As the future Chief of Staff of the Federal Defense Forces of China, this battle has an important position in Cai E's heart.
"No matter how you want it, this battle is not easy to fight. Even if we add the five brigade combat troops of Thunder International and the troops of the "Russian Royal Guards", the military strength is still not comparable to the number of Soviet Red Army troops on the Warsaw frontline. Even if we take Brest and establish a defense line along Bug, the enemy forces we face are still quite strong! Especially the number of tanks, the number of Soviet Red Army tanks is almost twice ours! "
Tang Yunyang certainly knew the pressure in Cai E's heart, and what he said was indeed the truth on the battlefield in front of him.
"Brother Songpo, of course I know the situation on the battlefield. But you have also seen the telegram sent by the Jihu Team. The supply base of the Soviet Red Army was in Brest. As long as we occupy it, their supply will be completely cut off! You have to know what the daily consumption of 800,000 people is. If these supplies are lost, then..."
However, Cai E did not wait for Tang Yunyang to finish speaking, and he immediately refuted.
"But this is purely a risk. If we can't take Brest, you also see the Soviet Red Army's battle in Warsaw. The cities that were refused by the infantry army are not easy to seize. If we act rashly, it is very likely that the "Russian Royal Guards" and "Thunder International" will suffer significant losses!"
Although "Thunder International" and "Russian Royal Guards" fall under the jurisdiction of the Overseas Operations Command, this debate is certainly not a matter of orders and violations of orders. This is just a debate between two members of the Chinese Baath Party.
However, did Cai E, who experienced the Western Front of World War I with Tang Yunyang, doubt Tang Yunyang's military talent here? Or did he have ulterior motives?
