Chapter 367

Forward, forward!

In eastern Poland, Soviet Red Army units are advancing towards Poland.

The territory here was originally theirs. At the time, the Poles thought they were strong and split this territory from the Soviet territory. Now, it is time for the Poles to pay the price!

Teams of cavalry, riding high-headed horses, galloped across the field.

Semyon Konstantinovich Timoshenko, restraining his own horses' hoofs, looked at his troops with high spirits.

Timoshenko is a veteran of the Soviet Union. As early as the First World War, he was a private soldier in the Western Front Army. After the formation of the Red Army in 1918, he joined the Red Army.

In October 1919, Timoshenko served as the commander of the 6th Division of the 1st Army of the Red Army Cavalry. Since then, he has made an inseparable brand with the cavalry. Every time he fights, he is inseparable from the cavalry.

And now, he has become the commander of the Ukrainian Front. He led the Soviet Red Army of several hundred thousand to march into Poland and occupy Western Ukraine.

At the same time, in his north, there is the Red Army Belarusian Front led by General Mikhail Kovalev. Their two armies are ready to take this opportunity to recover the territory that originally belonged to the Soviets!

Behind the cavalry, there are tanks, braving billowing black smoke, heading towards the territory of Poland.

These tanks are still old-fashioned tanks. So far, the Soviet T-34, which has trans-epoch significance, has not yet completed its finalization.

However, it is obvious that Timoshenko is also a general who is good at learning. He saw the power of the German blitzkrieg, so he simply gathered his cavalry and tank soldiers together. During sporadic battles, his main force had already arrived in eastern Poland.

According to the secret treaty at the time, these territories belonged to the Soviet Union, but what if they were occupied by the Germans and the Germans did not recognize it?

Brother Timoshen was anxious.

The warhorse under his crotch was neighing. Brother Timoshen held his warhorse and listened to the messenger coming to report to him.

"General, Brest is ahead!"

Brest, this name is very familiar to everyone.

Brest, located on the east bank of the Bug River, is a major traffic artery connecting Warsaw-Moscow and Lithuania-West Belarus-West Ukraine. It is also an ancient city with a long history.

The special geographical location makes Brest an important place for military strategists to compete.

In its long history, it was occupied by Kievan Rus, Lithuania, and the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, until it was incorporated into Russia in 1795.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Tsarist Russia built Russia's first-class fortress in the old city of Brest.

In December 1917, in order to end the war, Russia negotiated with Germany here. Later, the Treaty of Brest was signed, Russia withdrew from the First World War, and Brest was also famous at the same time. in the world.

Here, for the Soviet Union, for Germany, is a meaningful place.

However, just two years later, Poland occupied Brest. Then the war between the Soviet Union and Poland broke out, and as a result, the Soviet Union was defeated again. Therefore, for 20 years, the Soviet Union could only look at Brest from afar.

Until now, the Soviet troops are about to occupy here again!

In front, the soldiers of the Ukrainian 1st Cavalry Division were still riding their horses, and just opposite them, not far away, the smoke was billowing.

An army is also advancing towards them at the same time!

"Prepare for battle!" shouted the commander of the cavalry division, drawing out his shining saber.

"No, they are not Polish cavalry, they are German tank troops!" The cavalry Andrei, who rushed in front, shouted loudly.

It's German!

While the Soviets are moving westward, Germany is also attacking eastward! In this way, outside the Brest Fortress, they have joined forces in victory!

For Wittmann, these days, his battles have been very unpleasant, and there is no better opponent for him to fight.

After encircling and destroying the Polish cavalry in the Triangle, Wittmann's tank company crossed the Bouguer River to the outskirts of the Brest fortress.

Before the attack started, a huge cavalry arrived in the distance. Wittmann used his telescope to see the opposite side clearly. The cavalry in Soviet uniforms had already rushed here!

As a result, Wittmann ushered in a great moment of joining forces.

Standing on his tank, Wittmann looked at the cavalry on the opposite side and rushed to his side. The war horses were neighing, and the Soviet rider at the front jumped off his horse.

So Wittmann also jumped out of his tank, the two sides approached a few steps, and then Andre stretched out his hand first.

"Very nice to meet you," Andrei said in Russian.

"It's a great moment," Wittmann responded in German.

In fact, no one knows what the other party is talking about, but the smile on his face knows no borders.

The hands of the two were tightly clasped together. At this time, neither of them knew that after a year, this friendship had completely disappeared, and the two sides would never die.

Wittmann watched the other side's cavalry grow more and more, and when the cavalry passed, it was the tank troop.

As in the Spanish Civil War, the Soviet tank was mainly the T-26, which was almost the main equipment of the Soviet Red Army.

In addition, there are a small number of BT-7 fast tanks. Both of these tanks are light tanks. However, after absorbing the lessons of the last Spanish Civil War, these two Soviet tanks were replaced with new tanks. gun.

The 45mm 46-caliber tank gun is already a cannon that this light tank can withstand. If it is compared with the German 50mm tank gun at that time, it may not be backward, but now, it is comparable to the German long-barreled 75mm tank. A comparison of the guns turned into a weak chicken again.

Greevich, the brigade commander of the 6th Ukrainian Tank Brigade, jumped out of his BT-7 and stood next to Wittmann, looking at the tank with admiration, and then, cautiously to Witt Man gestured: "Can I go up and have a look?"

Although Wittman didn't understand what the other party was saying, Wittman still understood what the other party meant, so Wittman waved his hand: "You can come and visit."

Wittmann is very generous, these are all instructed by the superiors.

Grewicz climbed up a few steps, and just looked into the turret, and he was envious. It's no wonder that German tank soldiers don't need to wear thick tank caps. They just wear military caps. The original turret is also lined with A layer of skin! It's like a luxury car inside!
