"General Heidrich, I am Pavlyuchenko and want to join the 14th Ukrainian Volunteer Division of the SS."

Late at night on May 31, just as the Soviet Red Army advanced toward Poland, Polo and Western Ukraine's land, the Chief Minister of Western Ukraine (nominally appointed by the German Emperor, but actually appointed by the National Defense Forces) and Vice Chairman of the Ukrainian National Defense Commission, Reinhard Heidrich, was in his office to meet with the history student of the Kiev State University (moved to Lviv in 1939) student at the Department of History of the Kiev State University (moved to Lviv in 1939).

Like the Kingdom of Poland, the Western Ukraine entered a state of emergency half a month ago. However, it did not evacuate Lviv's population. Instead, the Chief Minister of Western Ukraine Heidrich and the Prime Minister of Western Ukraine Marquis Peterliu La jointly issued a general mobilization order, calling on the citizens of Lviv to pick up weapons and participate in the battle.

The citizens of Lviv were extremely positive to Heidrich and Peter Liola's call, and even went too far. Not only did the men line up in front of the city's recruitment sites, but some women were actively asking for joining the army. Some of them were unwilling to be nurses or logistics personnel, but wanted to be combat soldiers.

This seemed like a fool to the conservative German Junker officers, so the German officers in the Ukrainian Defense Force refused such a request without hesitation. However, they did not expect that a group of female students from the Kiev State University would take to the streets to march and ask to participate in the battle to fight the Russians.

The march alarmed Reinhardt Heidrich, who is popular in Western Ukraine. He is not the kind of Junker who is stubborn, but an intelligence officer with a very sensitive political sense (he is also the director of the Imperial Central Security Bureau's branch in Western Ukraine), and naturally he can find some special value from it.

So he took the time to meet the female college student who was petitioning the parade tonight. This Ukrainian beauty with big eyes, high nose and charming brown hair was extremely eager to ask for participation in the battle when she saw Hedrich.

"You want to join the SS Volunteer Division? Are you a member of the National Socialist Workers' Party?"

Rear Admiral Heidrich is a member of the National Defense Forces, so he is not a member of the Nazi Party. However, he is very pro-Nazi and has a very good relationship with many major figures of the Nazi Party.

With his support, the Nazi Party organization in Western Ukraine developed rapidly, especially among young people. This was actually related to the Soviet Union's occupation of most of Ukrainian land. Now most of the young people in Lviv are refugees who have lost their homes, so they are naturally easily attracted by the Nazi Party that promotes extreme nationalism.

"Yes, I am a glorious member of the National Socialist Workers' Party!" Pavlyuchenko said in very fluent German, "The Bolsheviks took my home and now want to take Lviv. I think I must stand up and fight them, even if I give my life!"

Pavlyuchenko's resentment makes sense. The tens of thousands of square kilometers around Lviv are the last home of the Ukrainian nation. The Russians actually want to take it away. This is not a life for people to live!

"Do you know how to get a gun?" Heidrich nodded. He had decided to let Pavlyuchenko join the army. This is an excellent publicity material that can inspire the fighting spirit of the entire Ukrainian nation!

"I know." Pavlyuchenko immediately skillfully set up the aiming setup. "General, I am a sharpshooter, I am a member of the National Kiev University Shooting Club."

"But the battlefield is very cruel!" Heidrich said, "You should consider becoming a nurse."

"No, I want to be a SS sniper!" Pavlyuchenko made his request again, "General, you must approve my request."

Heidrich smiled, "Well, I'll say hello to General Fletak of the 14th Ukrainian Volunteer Division of the SS. You will definitely get what you want. Good luck, Miss Pavliuchenko."

...

"Poland has not perished. As long as we still have a breath, Poland will not perish. Raise the sword and regain the lost land. Go forward, go forward, Donbrovsky..."

Major General Carol Rommel, who was in the ring fortress of Trespol, suddenly rang in the ears of Major General Carol Rommel. Although the sound was already very light when it reached his ears, he still heard that this was the lyrics and tunes of "Poland will never perish" Someone played the Polish national anthem on the tweeter!

Of course, this song "Poland will never perish" is not the national anthem of the Polish Kingdom, which is now controlled by the Germans, but the national anthem of the Polish Republic, where Major General Carol Rommel has fought for most of his life!

"General, the Soviets in Brest are playing... our national anthem!"

Colonel Alzki, chief of staff of the Trespol Brigade, hurried into Major General Carol Rommel's headquarters from outside, with his face looking very ugly.

Major General Carol Rommel glared at his chief of staff, "That's not our national anthem, our national anthem is "God bless my king William."

"but……"

"But what?" Major General Carol Rommel interrupted Colonel Alzky, who seemed a little confused. "The Soviets have submitted an ultimatum. Most of them will not wait for 24 hours, which means that the attack may happen at any time. We are only a few kilometers away from Brest, and it must be the first place to be attacked. Now the Soviets are playing "Poland will never perish" to shake us and want to win without taking advantage of it. Maybe someone will speak in a while. I will pass my order, except for the post, everyone will go down the anti-aircraft shelter and close the door, and you will not be allowed to listen to anything!"

He guessed that this is psychological warfare! The Soviets had known that brigade-level defensive positions such as the Trespol Ring Fortress were very difficult to fight, and General Pavlov did not want these ring fortresses to restrain his troops. Therefore, he came up with this "heart-breaking" method, first using the tweeter to play the national anthem of the Polish Republic, and then play the speech of the leader of the Free Polish Polish leader Vadislaw Sikorsky. The Prime Minister of the Free Polish government and the Commander-in-Chief of the Free Polish Army have been under the wings of Britain in recent years, so naturally they cannot refuse to cooperate with the Soviet Union. Moreover, Stalin also promised to restore the sovereignty and independence of the Polish Republic!

Therefore, Sikorsky recorded a speech in Britain and wrote a letter to the generals of the Polish defense army he knew (he was the Prime Minister of Poland before the war), asking them to turn against the Soviet Red Army, and join the Polish army with the help of the Soviet Red Army... This is a way to survive if ordinary Polish defense soldiers believe it. If the noble officers of the Polish Kingdom believe it, then prepare to work hard in Siberia!

Listening to the whispering nonsense of the Polish reactionary leader Sikovsky, the commander of the 9th Mechanized Army who was leading his troops to wait for the order to cross the river on the west bank of the Bug River, Major General Konstantinovich Rokosovsky, was a little impatient because he was a Polish himself. Among the Soviet Party and the army, there were many Poles like him. Even if there were still many people who survived after the Great Purge, when was it the reactionary reactionary of Sikovsky the turn of the Polish army?

"Yakov, what time is it now? When will the shelling start?" Major General Rokosovsky turned his head and asked Captain Yakov Jugashvili, the artillery director who was riding on a gaz61 light off-road vehicle with him.

Yakov Jugashvili is Stalin's eldest son. He is 34 years old. He graduated from the School of Railway Transportation Engineering and Artillery Command. He joined the Red Army in 1937. He is now the Artillery Director of the 9th Mechanized Army with the rank of captain (after the Great Purge, he served as the regiment-level commander with the rank of captain, and it is common for him to be a brigade commander. Even if he is not Stalin's son, he has such an official career). He will set foot on the land of white Poland on the first day after the war begins.

"It's June 1st at 0:15 am, and as planned, the shelling will begin in 15 minutes."

In 15 minutes, 20,000 cannons will be launched at the same time from the Baltic Sea to the nearly 1,700 kilometers of front line on the Romanian border!

"The shelling will last for an hour and a half, starting at 0:30 and ending at 2:00 a.m., and then our 9th Mechanized Army will set foot on the land of Poland."

Yakov Jugashvili seemed a little excited when he spoke, and he also understood the importance of this war, which was to liberate all mankind! The ideals of Marx, Engels and Lenin were finally completed in his hands!

"There is one hour and 45 minutes left..." Rokosovsky smiled, "The scouts have already crossed the river, and the engineers have already started building bridges. You can cross the river at the earliest at 5 a.m., and more than 150 kilometers westward is Warsaw! If there were no German armored troops to stop it, it would only take dozens of hours."

Of course, the 9th Mechanized Army will not attack the ring fortress. Its mission is to advance rapidly with other Mechanized Army, Tank Army and Cavalry Division, and advance to the vicinity of Warsaw in the shortest time. It is expected to launch an unprecedented tank battle near Warsaw and the German armored cluster, if it can win and capture Warsaw.
