Romanian Eagle

The road 17 from Lublin to Warsaw is billowing with dust and smoke, and a large number of vehicles are heading towards Warsaw along the road.

That's right, this is the assault armored group commanded by Hoffman, but now even the wheels still can't run fast. Because a lot of vehicles are stuck on the road, how can this run fast.

"Look at my gesture, go this way."

At an intersection, several gendarmes in military uniforms and white helmets were directing traffic. Under their command, the trucks passed the intersection smoothly and drove into Lublin.

When a command vehicle was driving through this intersection, it suddenly pulled over and stopped, and a general with the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders walked out of the car. That's right, this is Hoffman. He saw that the troops were moving a little slower, and he planned to stop to understand the situation.

So when he saw his figure, the military police officer who was on duty immediately stepped forward to report. "Report, Lieutenant General Hoffman, the thirteenth unit of the military police is on duty here."

"Hello, Lieutenant."

Hoffman asked after returning the salute. "In an hour, how many vehicles can you direct to pass?"

The second lieutenant of the military police replied after thinking for a while. "General, we didn't pay attention to the number, probably between five and six hundred."

Hoffman listened to the hourly traffic of five or six hundred vehicles, and silently calculated in his heart that it would take more than ten hours to ensure that all the vehicles passed.

As soon as I saw the road under my feet that was not even paved with asphalt, I was embarrassed to say that it was the main road connecting Warsaw to Lviv, and there was no ability for two vehicles to pass side by side.

Hoffman was unable to complain about Poland's infrastructure road, but this did become an obstacle to the advancement of Romanian troops. At present, the two armored divisions and the two motorized infantry divisions that he leads together have more than 6,000 vehicles, which are not counting tanks with off-road capabilities and armored vehicles with certain off-road capabilities. If these vehicles are added, the entire army vehicle will exceed 7,000 vehicles.

So many vehicles rely on this Route 17 to run to Warsaw, naturally there will not be too fast. But no matter how slow the speed is, it is much faster than the infantry division, because the vehicle can run 24 hours a day, but the soldiers can't do it.

And not to mention that although the speed is slow, the driving speed per hour is not lower than 15 kilometers, but it can't be as fast as a small group of troops.

After learning about the passing of the vehicle, Hoffman couldn't help complaining when he returned to the command car. "Such a speed is not conducive to quickly rushing to Warsaw,

You need to figure out a way. "

As he spoke, he stood on the military map and began to study the roads that could get in and out of Warsaw. He looked at the roads that branched off from Warsaw, his fingers swiped on the map, and he kept calculating the distance and the capacity of each road in his mind.

When he slid his finger over Radom, a yellow line representing the road appeared in front of him. This is the road from Warsaw to Krakow via Radom, which is a supplementary line from Warsaw via Lodz to Katowice, the important border town of Deborah. And since this road is used as a supplementary line for military use, the road bearing capacity will not be worse than the current No. 17 road under my feet.

And is there a road connection between Radom and himself?

Yes, there is a road connecting Radom in Purna, the town is located on the Vistula River with a bridge spanning both banks. The mother river of Poland originates in the province of Holy Cross, runs north through Warsaw, and finally empties into the Baltic Sea at Danzig.

It seems that Purna is his target. Thinking of this, he immediately called the communications staff.

I saw him speak. "Communications staff officer, how far are we from Purna?"

The communications staff member who was stopped by Hoffman replied immediately. "Report to the general, our army's forward is only 8 kilometers away from Purna and will arrive in half an hour."

"Tell the vanguard to secure the bridge over the Vistula to capture Purna. Then send a telegram to the 1st Armored Division to change their marching route and divert from Purna to Route 12 to capture Radom. Then order them Attack Warsaw with Radom as the point."

No way, now the traffic capacity of Route 17 is too poor, we can only find another way. Moreover, Radom's Polish army is not very strong. There is only one reinforcement group. For the first armored division trained by himself, this is not a problem at all.

And there is another advantage of capturing Radom, that is, it can effectively support the operations of the Chief of Staff.

The communications staff member recorded the order and immediately went to send it, and Hoffman immediately called another staff member. "Bring all the information on all the roads near us with a bearing capacity of more than 15 tons, I need to check it out."

"Yes, General."

Following Hoffman's orders, the 1st Armored Division began to prepare for a diversion.

In continuing to consult the information, Lieutenant General Hoffman also found that there is still a road between Purna and Radom. This is a township road, but in peacetime, there are a lot of freight vehicles running on this road, and it can withstand the capacity of many vehicles. More importantly, this road from Zvolen can be driven all the way along the Vistula River to Warsaw.

If this path is so valuable, why didn't Hoffman take advantage of it. So then, a new order came from him, and the 65th Motorized Infantry Division would use this road to march towards Warsaw.

And with Hoffman's orders, the congestion was relieved after Purna. Here, the rushing group was divided into three groups, bounded by the Vistula River and divided into two unconnected parts.

And this situation should be a major taboo in the military, but it is still used by Lieutenant General Hoffman regardless. Could it be that he was carried away by the victory, or that the temptation of Warsaw was too great for him to forget the danger.

In fact, none of these, and the battle report from the German side, made him dare to divide the army into two parts.

At present, Germany has already broken through the defense lines of the Polish army on all fronts. In the Polish corridor, the German 4th Army had routed the Polish Army of Pomorie, encircling the enemy in forested areas north of Siwyz and west of Groudundz. The 3 infantry divisions and 1 cavalry brigade of the Polish Army "Pomeranian" Army were all annihilated.

The German 3rd Army, which was targeting Poznan, had also repulsed the Polish Army of Poznan, and it was now retreating to the rear. However, the German armored forces did not intend to let them go, and surrounded them in groups from Kovo to Kutvo.

As for the German army on the southern front, the action was slower due to the lack of armored units. The German Eighth Army had defeated the Polish Army of Lodz and was pursuing it across the Warta River. The 10th Army also just defeated the Krakow Army, and its troops were divided into two groups, advancing all the way to Krakow and all the way to Kielce.

Now that Poland is facing such a defeat on the whole line, there is no good way at all. It can only keep drawing some inland troops to try to plug these gaps, but how can the Poles be able to plug so many gaps.
