Compared to the navy's deep-rooted inferiority complex, most of the German army generals are now in avenge their previous shame. They firmly believe that they were not defeated during World War I, but were betrayed by a few traitors.

So this battle in Poland gave them a chance to take revenge - a different opportunity to enter the Rhineland; a different opportunity to annex Czechoslovakia and Austria; a different opportunity to accept Hungary's surrender.

"Boom!" A 150mm caliber field howitzer roared. Several German artillerymen covered their ears and watched the muzzle spray dazzling flames. They began to clean the barrel and load the shells with simple leverage machinery. Then the gunner closed the bolt and fired the cannon again. With a "boom", another shell roared and flew towards the target.

Not far away, another 150mm cannon also sprayed a thick smoke, and the airflow blew a small tree of unknown type not far away and swayed left and right. Next to this artillery position was a small town in Poland, and there were a few children in the town lying on the wall watching the German soldiers busy loading ammunition and adjusting the angle of the artillery, so as to massacre soldiers from their own country faster and more accurately.

There were a row of Mercedes-Benz trucks and off-road cars parked on the streets of the town. There were even several armored command vehicles belonging to different armies. However, the one that welcomed the children in the town the most was the two beautiful gray-green leopard tanks. From time to time, children cheered around the tanks, as if the country was lost or the fall of the country had nothing to do with them.

Here is the command center of the German D-German Army, General Moder's front-line command center. Major General Guderian, the commander of the German First Armored Army, is standing in front of Moder and introducing his army's action plan in northern Krakow.

"General." Guderian pointed to the huge war zone map hanging behind him: "My 1st Armored Division continues to attack north in northern Krakow with the goal of cutting off the supply line behind the already chaotic Polish Mountain Legion."

He pointed in another direction and said, "In addition, the SS's Third Armored Division is detouring towards the eastern part of Krakow, completely surrounding the city and cutting off the southern transportation line of Poland."

"How is the execution?" Model looked at the map and asked softly, a kind boss who always spoke gently, and he gave Guderian a nearly independent power to restrain the head's confidant beloved general when necessary.

"The Third SS Panzer Division is here, and there is also a strong resistance here! However, due to the lack of ammunition, the Polish defenders are gradually giving up their defense." Guderian pointed to the map and replied: "Please forgive my decision. The precious armored troops should not be used for street fighting in cities. This is the experience of the Spanish Civil War, and it is more suitable for sniper teams and grenadiers."

"You are right, General Guderian." Moder nodded and handed the report in his hand to Guderian: "This is the order of the Army General Command. They ask you to continue attacking north, but the above order is to attack your troops at the current position."

"Sir! If my troops stop now, the Poles will likely reorganize their defenses! Then when we attack again, we will have to pay a heavier price than we are now!"

A building collapsed, and the bomber bomb destroyed the load-bearing part of the building. With the splashing rubble and gravel around it, the long-standing building that lasted for hundreds of years became a pile of ruins. Before the smoke and dust were dissipated, several poor Poles rushed over and wanted to find their finances or relatives.

Two German infantrymen were carrying old-fashioned Mauser 98k rifles and slowly searching and advancing in the ruins. They were responsible for cleaning this building, so there were many grenades hanging on the tactical vests on their chests. They advanced carefully, afraid of making any sound to attract the attention of the surrounding enemies.

Suddenly, a Polish officer rushed out of the corner of the wall with a submachine gun. He tripped in the rubble of the ruins and staggered. Two German soldiers who were searching obviously would not miss such an opportunity. One of them picked up the rifle and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" A gunshot was heard. The Polish officer's chest was penetrated by a bullet, and the force made him fall backward. His fingers subconsciously pulled the trigger of the submachine gun, and fired several bullets into the corner, splashing dust.

After pulling the bolt, the two German soldiers stopped moving forward and shouted loudly at the corner: "Come out! I know someone! If I don't come out again, I will throw the grenade!"

"Don't shoot! Let's surrender!" About a few seconds later, a Polish soldier held his weapon high with both hands and said to the two German infantrymen who were holding rifles and watching him walk out coldly: "Please don't shoot! I'll put the gun on the ground."

With his words, Polish soldiers stood up behind him one by one. They looked depressed and ragged, but the number was very amazing. A rough count was more than thirty.

"We have no ammunition anymore! Please don't worry!" The Polish soldier who walked out first said, "Don't kill us." As soon as he finished speaking, several Polish prisoners around him nodded: "Please, don't kill us!" "God! Help us!"

The resistance in this neighborhood ended soon. Due to the lack of ammunition and treatment, about 4,150 Polish defenders surrendered to the German Wehrmacht. These Polish soldiers were very depressed and cried bitterly for their invaders who could not repel the motherland. However, they still could not use bullet-free rifles to fight against German aircraft and tanks. This was a contest between technology and national strength, and it had nothing to do with personal courage and tenacity.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Krakow Legion Command issued an order to surrender the entire army, and then sent a telegram to Warsaw Mingma, which was very brief: "Our army resisted to the last moment, and I will surrender in a few minutes."

This may be the only task that the Polish defenders could complete in the past two days. About an hour later, the commander of the Krakow Legion handed over his military flag and sword to the commander of the 17th Infantry Division of the German, completed a brief surrender ceremony, which completely kicked off the entire collapse of the southern Poland region.
Chapter completed!
