Chapter 245(1/2)

Budordovsky commanded the last two divisions in his hands and deployed on the road to Minsk.

As long as the attacking Ming armored force is blocked, the surrounding troops can be mobilized in time, and the German reinforcements can eat up this armored force.

In this way, even if the battle is defeated and the Polish army suffers heavy losses, it can still have an explanation to those in Warsaw.

Although it was inevitable that he would be dismissed from office and lose his title, he could still save his life.

Kravchuk went to the German headquarters and asked the Germans for help.

"Don't prepare the carriage, let's ride to the German headquarters. Hurry up!" Kravchuk didn't want to delay for a second. If he invited the German army earlier, he would be able to suppress the Ming army earlier.

Otherwise, even two divisions may not be able to defend Minsk.

"Yes!" The messenger hurriedly ran out to help Kravchuk prepare his war horse.

"Chief of Staff, phone!" A staff officer ran over and saluted Kravchuk.

"No, I'm not answering anyone's calls now." Kravchuk waved his hand irritably, as if to shoo away flies.

It must be another call from those people in Warsaw, too lazy to pay attention to those losers who only think about money and women.

The reason for calling him now is just to know the latest situation of the war so that I can decide whether to flee to Germany or France. If it is safer, flee to the UK.

Anyway, they will not stay in Warsaw and die fighting with all the Poles.

"Chief of Staff, this is General Rundstedt, commander of the German Ninth Army." The staff officer quickly reported Rundstedt's name.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Kravchuk pushed the staff officer aside, ran into the office with a brisk stride, and picked up the phone: "Hello, General Rundstedt."

"Hi! General Kravchuk, I heard that Ming Dynasty has an armored force coming to attack Minsk?" Rundstedt's tone was very calm.

"Yes! I was just going to your headquarters to ask for your help.

We must defend Minsk. If Minsk is occupied, the armored forces of the Ming Army can directly attack your troops.

The northern front centered on Smolensk will also face the risk of collapse.

So, please lend a helping hand." Kravchuk explained the urgent situation to Rundstedt very anxiously.

"I understand, our scouts also found signs of Ming army infiltration.

But I can help you first. Those Ming troops that have infiltrated are just small troops.

What you have in front of you is the truly elite armored force of the Ming Army.

If we can annihilate this armored force and combat the arrogance of the Ming army, we can immediately stabilize the northern front."

Rundstedt said on the phone.

"Great! It's really great! I'm waiting for your good news. I'm waiting for you in Minsk.

After repelling the Ming army's attack, I will prepare a grand banquet for you." Kravchuk couldn't believe his ears.

The German army actually agreed to his request so easily. With the help of the powerful German army, this battle will definitely be won.

Kravchuk, who was determined, shook his head and smiled. He had been hesitant just now.

I almost believed the recent irresponsible rumors.

Now it seems that those rumors are certain.

Why does Germany want to make peace with the Ming Dynasty? The current battlefield situation is not good for the coalition forces.

However, the coalition forces were large in number and the territory was vast. It was simply impossible for the Ming Dynasty to occupy and rule Europe, which had a population of more than 400 million.

Even if some places are temporarily occupied by the Ming Dynasty, various countries will take back the lost land through guerrilla warfare.

It is very difficult for European countries now, but...it is not difficult for Ming Dynasty who came all the way.

They need to send the supplies that the troops need from thousands of miles away. Not to mention anything else, just replenishing ammunition is useless.

Not to mention, once their supply lines enter Europe, they will immediately be surrounded and suppressed by the people across Europe.

When pagans come to the land of God’s people, how can they eat good fruit?

Kravchuk was confident that once the Ming army entered Poland, their nightmare would begin.

He has even been studying how to resist behind enemy lines.

To this end, the Polish army systematically transported a large amount of ammunition, baggage and other supplies deep into the mountains.

Once the war situation does not go well, these things will be supplies and supplements for the Polish army retreating to the mountains.

Kravchuk returned to the command post. Budordovsky, who was busy arranging combat tasks, did not even see Kravchuk come in.

"Order the 901st Regiment to enter the position before four o'clock. Place a lot of mines on the road so that the Ming army cannot easily pass through this road.

In addition, the artillery is deployed in the woods so that if the Ming army's planes come, they can also have some cover.

Otherwise, the artillery position will be taken away by the Ming army!

How did you bastards get to the headquarters? If you want me to teach you anything, what do you want you to do?" Budoldovsky roared like an angry lion.

The staff officers below were all silent.

The staff officers in the headquarters are originally under the management of the chief of staff.

Now that Budordovsky is acting as a substitute, he naturally does not have the same dexterity as Kravchuk.

"I'll do it!" Seeing Budoldovsky's anxious look, Kravchuk smiled and shook his head, walked over and patted the old man on the shoulder.

"Eh... why are you back? Didn't I ask you to ask for help from the German army? Whether Minsk can be saved this time, your life, my life and my family all depend on the support of the German army.

Why are you back!" Budordovsky said eagerly.

"It's all done! The German army promised to help." Kravchuk said with a smile.

"Really done?" Budordovsky blinked in confusion. He didn't expect Kravchuk to complete the task so quickly.

It had only been a few minutes, and even the airship could not reach the German territory.

"Really, General Rundstedt called just as I was leaving.

I explained the situation in Minsk to him, and General Rundstedt agreed to come to help. He also said that he would order the troops to leave immediately, and they would be able to reach Minsk at 7 am at the earliest.

I think that was when the fighting was most intense.

As long as we can successfully hold off the Ming army and wait for the German army's assistance, I can counterattack this deep-rooted Ming army armored force.

Regardless of how powerful tanks and armored vehicles are, if they escape the protection of fighter jets in the sky, they will be picked off one by one by eight-eighth artillery fire." Kravchuk was very confident.

Although there are only two Polish divisions in Minsk now, the equipment of these two Polish divisions is first-rate.

Not only is it equipped with far more artillery than other troops, it also has 88 artillery pieces that other troops lack.

As the main anti-tank weapon of the coalition forces, it can be said that this thing can hit everything.

During offensive warfare, it can attack infantry, and during defensive warfare, it can attack tanks. Even if the enemy air force attacks, you only need to crank up the barrel to attack aircraft.

This comprehensive artillery is considered a treasure in the arsenal of the coalition forces.

It's just a pity that this thing can't move independently at all, and the gunner needs to stabilize the gun mount before firing.

If you want to move, you have to get four pack horses to drag the heavy 88-gun.

This flaw can be regarded as the biggest shortcoming of the 88 gun.

However, this is also the only weapon in the coalition arsenal that can easily penetrate the armor of Ming army tanks at a distance of 1,500 meters.

Even the latest Ming Army No. 4 tank can stably penetrate within 800 meters. Whether it is the front or the side!

Today, the two German divisions responsible for guarding Minsk have exactly over forty 88-gun guns.

In fact, if these two divisions were not well equipped and had a lot of heavy equipment, they would have been sent to the battlefield long ago!

Speaking of which, the Polish army is a bit strange. They prefer to put armies composed of armed peasants on the front line.

Those people above just use them as cannon fodder!

In the process of consuming cannon fodder, it would be better if more Ming troops could be damaged.

Among the 600,000 troops on the front line, almost 200,000 are such cannon fodder troops.

These troops are at the forefront, ready to fight the Ming army at any time. They hold the simplest rifles in their hands, and grenades are the most lethal thing in the entire company.

A battalion is equipped with six mortars, each of which has only one to two hundred rounds of shells.

When we arrived in the regiment, there were artillery, including six 75mm howitzers. This was all the firepower in the regiment!

Oh, by the way, there are also machine guns.

Each company has one Maxim, and only the battalion headquarters has three light machine guns.

This is all the heavy firepower of the cannon fodder!

Behind them are the second-line troops of the Polish army. These troops are much better equipped than cannon fodder.

At least these people have helmets on their heads.

In addition to the infantry's main weapon, which never changes, each company has two Maxims.

In addition, each platoon is equipped with a light machine gun!

There are also no mortars in the company, but there are nine mortars in the battalion.
To be continued...
