Chapter 458: The Collapse of the Soviet Army

The fall of Seidlce put the Soviet forces in Poland at risk.

The soldiers of the 3rd, 12th and 16th armies who were evacuating from Warsaw immediately burst into an uproar when they heard that Seidelce was being occupied. Many of them have secretly left the army and retreated to the territory of Soviet Russia, no matter what the political commissars say.

The 4th and 15th armies were even worse, fighting against the Polish army on the Vistula line. When he heard that Seidelce was occupied by Poland behind him, it almost caused a mutiny. If the commander hadn't pressed him, he would have collapsed on his own.

However, although it was barely pressed down, someone pushed him. The Polish Fifth Army, led by its commander General Sikorski, immediately launched a counterattack against it, causing a rout of the frightened Fourth Army. Within a day, the 4th Army had retreated 40 kilometers and was approaching the East Prussian border.

The 15th Army in the lower reaches of the Vistula River also became a frightened bird, and immediately moved the troops to the East Prussian border. After planning to join the 4th Army, it will retreat to the Bug River along the line of Mwawa and Ostrovinka.

For a time, the Soviet troops in Poland retreated to the Bug River. They planned to hold off the attack of the Lobo coalition first, and then fight against it after receiving reinforcements. However, their wishes will not be accepted by the Robo armies, especially the Polish side.

As far as Poland is concerned, the huge strategic advantage that it has finally acquired at a huge cost cannot let the upcoming victory slip away. So after the capture of Siedlce, Piłsudski immediately set out on the road with the Assault Corps and part of the 2nd Corps.

Their next target is Ostrov. As long as they capture this town on the Bug River, the Bug River will become their natural defense against the Soviet army. For the Soviet army, who is currently panicking and demoralized, this is not a natural danger.

When Poland was ready to turn the plan into reality, Admiral Fereit also led the Romanian army that defeated the Soviet interception and rushed to Brest.

On the road from Warsaw to Minsk, a long line of Romanian soldiers could not see the end. The soldiers, horses, vehicles and artillery on the road looked like a mess from a distance. However, when you go to the front, you will find that everything is in good order, and each has its own rules of travel. And on the side of the road, there are military police officers wearing white helmets from time to time, directing the traffic on the road.

Admiral Fereit, who was in command of them, marched in the middle of the team with his own headquarters. And the sign of his headquarters is very obvious. There are dozens of vehicles that are produced by Volkswagen and look like buses, which is his mobile headquarters.

However, these cars are different from the public transportation vehicles in the city. In order to facilitate the movement of the wild vision, the body has been raised a lot. And compared to public transport vehicles with six wheels,

This vehicle has eight wheels, and not only that, the tire width is wider than that of civilian vehicles. In addition, in the configuration of the engine, its 120-horsepower engine is also enough to ensure that it has a good maneuverability in the field. In terms of performance in all aspects, this is the best field command vehicle at present.

The only disadvantage is that it is too expensive. The cost of up to 51,000 lei is almost catching up with the tank. However, who made the current military prestige enough, so he ordered more than 40 vehicles in one go, and this time Admiral Freiette brought more than 10 vehicles.

The effect of use is not bad, and it can control the situation of the battlefield at any time while traveling. Moreover, its large field radio station can keep in touch with Warsaw and the country at any time, which makes His Excellency Admiral worry a lot.

How is the situation now?

Freyte looked at the map in the car and asked the communication staff member beside him.

At present, the enemy's 11th and 14th armies have been driven to Mallorita by our army. The 7th, 11th, and 17th divisions are watching them and will not let them approach Brest. In addition, the Polish Third Army has already driven In the defense of Siedlce, a small group of Soviet troops has appeared outside the city, but these troops did not engage with the defending Polish 3rd and 4th corps. In addition, the Polish army under the command of Marshal Piłsudski has rushed to the Bug River. side, they are now preparing to cross the river.

His Excellency the Admiral was in the slightly swaying carriage, while listening to the report of the staff officer, while marking the location he said on the map.

After reading the map, Freyte concluded: It seems that this war will make the opponent suffer a big loss. At present, these half-encircled Soviet troops, if they don't move quickly, they can't run away. It's gone. Speaking of which, His Excellency Piłsudski has a big victory this time.

After Felicite summed up others, he began to care about himself.

How far is it from Brest?

At present, the striker of our army has arrived in Biawa, only 28 kilometers away from Brest.

Hearing the staff officer's answer, Freiit calculated that it was only a day's journey.

Then what about the troops in the city?

There are still only two divisions of Soviet troops on defense, but they have recruited residents in the city to join the army. According to the latest information, they have recruited 6,000 people. A lot of sandbag fortifications have been arranged in the city, and they have forced residents to build outside the city. Trench. In addition, we received the latest information that yesterday Minsk sent three trains to Brest, most of which were support weapons such as artillery and machine guns.”

Hearing the report of the staff officer, Feleit said with a smile: It's too late to support now. If the strength of the two divisions can block my army, this is a joke.

From the point of view of Admiral Fereit, Brest was already in his pocket at present, and the only 11th and 14th armies that the enemy could support were deliberately driven to other places by him. He also specially sent three divisions to watch the opponent, where there might be reinforcements.

In fact, looking at the map, the motorized units consisting of cavalry divisions and armored brigades that defeated the Soviet cavalry army were closest to here. However, considering that the casualties of the two troops are not small, and the loss of weapons and equipment is too large (the armored brigade is talking about), His Excellency Admiral only let them be responsible for the reconnaissance of the surrounding area.

The next day, Romanian troops approached the city.

Fareit looked at the panic-stricken front-line Soviet soldiers, and he couldn't help laughing. Obviously, the Soviet army recruited local residents and put them on the front line, which made Romania cheaper. These basically untrained recruits will completely help Romania to break through the city.

Since the Soviet commander was in a daze, of course he would accept this gift.

With a big wave of his hand, after a brief shelling, the Romanian troops of the two divisions rushed towards the position immediately. For the next battle, he has no interest at all.

And the result was completely within his expectations. After only one charge, the local recruits were forcibly recruited in the front line and they were defeated. Many people raised their hands and shouted to them: I am a Poles, I am willing to take the Romanian army and drive away these Russian troops.

So the next battle was much simpler. With the help of these locals, the Romanian army took less than two days to occupy the city.

There was not much time left for the Soviet Army.
