The first reaction was to watch the Pomeranian Legion in Danzig Corridor being surrounded. Porter Noszky, its commander, clearly judged Rommel’s intention to fight, so he made a very correct but shameful decision to throw everything away and escape.

The artillery was abandoned, and the road was used as a roadblock. Polish cavalry rode horses and rushed south across the chaotic infantry. It was even more urgent to have a car force, hoping that Rommel would quit this huge encirclement before cutting off their rear, but they retreated in front and chased the German team all the way, just like a shadow.
This led to the defeat of the Polish Pomeranian Legion. Porter Noszky stayed behind and three divisions were surrounded by the Germans without resistance. The slowest artillery unit was captured by the chasing German team. But their intention finally succeeded. Pile of road prisoners and equipment slowed down the German attack. Ironically, these prisoners and equipment were more effective than when they resisted.
Porter Noszky sent a letter to Poland to escape the guilt brought by the rout, saying that he was meeting the southern Poznan Army and then fighting back the German troops in the north. The statement of Danzig Corridor sounds very attractive, but it is full of loopholes. But once the Pomeranian Army in the Danzig Corridor collapsed and stayed in northern Poland, the Modlin Army became a lone army. This lone army is still defending its position. Now they must face the German P regiment in East Prussia alone.
And Porter Noszky kept rushing to join the Poznan legion, which had been attacked by the German team in flight. The main force of this army gave up its defense line to join the Rhodes legion to the south; Most of the infantry and cavalry retreated backward, abandoned their armor and went back to Poland.
On the other front, the Rhodes Army also retreated, but because the German army on the other side was not oppressed too tightly, they were the best army in the whole Polish defense line, but their morale was once shaken when they heard that German troops had been found near Krakow.
On this quiet first night of the war, the German army still did not relax its attack on the Poles. Catherine ordered the army to take off and accumulate night attack experience. Although the results were not obvious, the newly born German army enriched valuable combat experience. More than 7 sorties of attacks made the Poles spend a sleepless night.
In any case, the German Bundeswehr secretly experimented with blitzkrieg for ten years and finally entered the historical stage. As soon as it appeared, it screened Poland, a newly born European power.
Chapter 11 11 Big Ship Jupao
Compared with the army, the German navy has always been in a very embarrassing position. On the one hand, they are valued by the Fuehrer, but on the other hand, they have taken a development path that they don’t even believe in.
The war on September 13th was just a mess in the headquarters of the German navy. The army is confident in the future; The inferiority complex of the German navy, with the shadow of the Royal Navy buried deep in the bone marrow, filled them with fear of the coming war.
"We strongly suggested that the Fuehrer wage war in 2008, but the bastards of the army and the army still made the Fuehrer make an unwise choice." Lei Deer looked at the complex naval drawings and complained to Deng Nici, the chief commander of the naval submarine force
Deng Nici Nye sighed, and he worked overtime to supervise the submarine manufacturers to produce submarine troops crazily, hoping that the German navy could restore the size of the former submarine troops, but the sudden war still disrupted his steps.
He glanced at the map and pointed to the North Sea and said, "I suggest that the surface ship formation go to sea at once! We can’t let the British navy block the military port, so the aircraft carrier will be even more dangerous. "
Lei Deer frowned and said, "You and I don’t want to go out? Two new aircraft carriers are being installed. If I don’t wait for these two aircraft carriers to join the fighting force, I won’t have the strength to face the Royal Navy! Let my fleet go out to die? "
"I have deployed 40 submarines to form 10 search formations in the North Sea for your intelligence investigation," Deng Nici said. "We can’t defeat the Royal Navy, but we can still try to avoid the British main fleet."
"I sometimes really envy your submarine force." Lei Deer glanced at Deng Nici and said with a sigh, "Alas … I can’t beat diving into the water."
"There are no complaints!" Deng Nici smiled "inform the fleet to start! A month with the British will give you additional troops! "
"But what about the Ze Corridor?" Lei Deer said, "In the proposed plan, the navy must support the war operations in the coastal areas of the Danzig Corridor. Can we send so few troops in the past?"
"The Fuehrer will understand us!" Deng Nici nodded a little map and said, "In order not to let the British team cut off the import of Swedish iron ore, our main fleet must maintain deterrence and allocate more troops to participate in any cover operation."
"well! Then I will send a message to the sub-fleet! " Lei Deer nodded and said, "command them to cover the army action! Always do some superficial articles to stop those gossips. "
"When I lead the naval fleet to sail, the base depends on you to command!" Lei Deer got up and said, "I will take the fleet to avoid the British naval fleet according to the information. I hope that there will be no mistakes in sailing in the first state of war."
"I don’t think so," Deng Nici said. "Although our navy lacks training and combat preparation, there should be no problem for airmen to cover their escape."
Deng Nici looked at Lei Deer and remembered what the Fuehrer said to him. Don’t underestimate the Royal Navy. It is a real ball deployment. The navy has absolute quality and quantity advantages. If we can avoid the previous decisive battle and leave enough opportunities for the German navy to find opportunities to surpass and defeat it in one fell swoop, it is the only policy.
"Do as instructed by the Fuehrer" Deng Nici thought for a moment and then said to Lei Deer "Send naval air soldiers to investigate around, and eat them if you encounter British ships alone! If there is a main fleet of the Royal Navy, retreat! "
"Guerrilla warfare at sea!" He pointed to the North Sea and said, "I can’t get along here! Just retreat back to the battle radius of the shore-based air force! Catherine and Dick will never watch the navy suffer! "
"general! The naval escort fleet has settled outside the port. "The adjutant came over and reported," We should start! The aircraft carrier Bismarck has left the port of Zeppelin in 15 minutes. "
"You can rest assured! I didn’t ask for merit, but I did! I have the property of the German Admiralty in my hand and will not be easily ruined! " Lei Deer motioned adjutant with him go toward outside walk while solemnly and Deng Nici said "is your side more worrying! The Fuhrer doesn’t seem to pay much attention to international law. If there is a submarine war agreement, you should persuade him to avoid stimulation to the United States. "
Then he went out.
On the afternoon of September 13, 1937, two hours after France declared war on Germany, the German navy’s high seas fleet, including two aircraft carriers and 14 warships, left the military port and sailed into the icy North Sea.
"Long live the head of state! Report, captain! The general command is coming! " A mate walked up to the captain of a German naval destroyer with a big white hat and saluted at attention, then handed the paper to the captain.
The captain took the article and looked down at it and immediately ordered, "All guns are ready to play! Raise the battle flag! Aim for the Polish coast! Speed up! "
"The captain got information from the transport fleet a few days ago that mines have been newly laid in the waters near the Poles … don’t speed up first?" The first mate paused and then asked
"You have a point, so don’t speed up and move slowly along the coast. Pay attention to adjusting the course and don’t enter the range of Polish coastal defense artillery." The captain nodded and said.
This is a German naval task force with three warships and a cruiser with two destroyers to support coastal operations in the Danzig corridor. However, the current situation of the German navy seems to be difficult to adapt to this naval role unless the carrier ship is transferred to support it.
Because the ground support in the naval role is given to battleships or heavy cruisers with large caliber naval guns, those giant guns with 31 mm caliber and 2 mm caliber can of course defend the battery from the enemy shore
But nowadays, in addition to the carrier ship, the German navy has two small ships, namely light cruisers and destroyers, which are also equipped with anti-weapons. The largest caliber of the two guns is 15 mm, and most of them have millimeter guns-this caliber is too small to deal with coastal defense guns. Some Lei Deer can move one warship less, but three pitiful ones are sent.
The original gun caliber is not dominant. If warships want to attack shore defense guns, they have to rely on speed and evasion to play sports warfare. They can use high-speed zigzag movement to avoid their own losses as much as possible (of course, this is not a very reliable method and also affects their own artillery attack accuracy). However, the deployment of mines in the waters near Poles to cooperate with shore defense guns for defense has created a very difficult problem for the German fleet.
"Fire! Attack port facilities! " Seeing that the cruiser hung the fleet command flag and the signal told the two destroyers to attack the foremost destroyer, all the naval guns were pointed at the starboard side, and the captain took a deep breath and ordered.
"Boom!" The millimeter gun spewed out flames. One destroyer had five millimeter single-barrel guns, and two were one. Together with the cruiser, three 15-millimeter single-barrel guns and 13 guns, the volley scene looked very grand.
On the other hand, the opposite side was very quiet. The shells hit the target and raised black smoke. However, the coastal defense artillery still did not come back, so the three warships got closer and closer to the coast according to their own routes.
"Let’s hope that the Poles won’t fight back," murmured the captain through his telescope. Obviously, he has some doubts about this kind of unsuitable work for his warship, and he will feel more relaxed if he is asked to guard his warship.
The Poles obviously didn’t want him to get what he wanted. Soon, several floors of high water column splashed around the warship, accompanied by a huge explosion, which shook the whole warship. In the fortifications near the port, Polish large-caliber coastal defense guns counterattacked. Judging from the fact that one attack was a near miss, the quality of the defenders was obviously high
"Enemy artillery fire!" The observer reported, "Missed bullet!"
"Accelerate evasion!" The captain is still impatient because he is young. "Avoid sailing at once! If the hull is hit by one such large-caliber shell, it will be completely finished. "
"Signal the command ship! Tell them to change the waterway immediately! The enemy fire is very fierce! Not suitable for our destroyer attack! " The captain thought for a moment and added, "Let’s also find a chance to get out."
"Left full rudder! Heading due north! " Captain Dada, the adjutant, ordered "Keep firing at the rear artillery! Watch the sailors take their positions! Watch the water! Avoid mines! "
"attention! Enemy artillery fire! " Once again, the observer reported "near miss!"
"Captain! The command ship sent a signal! They have left wish us luck. "The first mate glanced at the report handed over by the signalman. It may be that the Polish coastal defense artillery attack has become a mess from the flagship semaphore and signal just now, so it is better to inform the news by the slowest message.
"Suspected mine ahead!" A big report on observing sailors
"slow down! The engine is reversed! " The captain ordered "which side?"
"Starboard bearing!" The sailor replied, "Avoidable!"
"Keep the left rudder full!" The captain gave the order
