Chapter 37: Dawn Here
The dawn here is quiet, and an army, with extraordinary perseverance, is pushing wheeled armored combat vehicles with obvious Chinese Federation style to the area of appearance with human power.
There is almost no difference between these enemy troops and their races. The only difference is that the military caps on their heads have square hats. The soldiers of these square hats wiped the Mauser 1898 cassette rifles from Germany in their hands. This rifle that had been tested in World War I made few improvements in World War II, thus becoming a famous gun - Mauser 98k.
Dawn is the most sleepy time for people. The coldness here is still unchanged, and there is still snow on the ground that represents the cold. No one can imagine that in this upcoming season of mud in spring, in this early morning when almost everyone is sleeping soundly, such a fierce battle will happen here.
The soldiers wearing square hats came from the Polish army that reindependence after World War I. Taking advantage of the Soviet Union's busy "revolutionary" war in the country, the Poles sent troops to Western Ukraine. During their advancement, they did not receive too much interference. They were even welcomed by Western Ukraine.
The reason for this factor is that after the Russian Red Revolution, the Russian Empire, the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed. Subsequently, the Russian Civil War, and the Allies retreated from the Eastern Front. At that time, when Poland re-established its country, Ukraine and Belarus had attempted independence.
When all actions were on the verge of failure under the attack of the Soviet Red Army, Poland's head of state Joseph Pisusky believed that this was a favorable opportunity for Poland to expand its territory eastward, and planned to establish a Polish alliance by uniting the rest of Central and Eastern European countries as a breakwater to deal with the potential threat of Germany and Russian imperialism.
Faced with the invasion of the Polish army, the Ukrainian army did not resist strongly. Even to a certain extent, they played a certain cooperative role. After the Polish army entered a strategic point, the Ukrainian Provisional Government, together with the Polish occupation forces, made a request to establish a Ukrainian country on the territory of hope and named it the "Western Ukrainian People's Republic".
I believe everyone can see that this idea has obviously not been discussed with the Soviet Red Army. Therefore, the war unconsciously unfolded in this call for "freedom".
The Polish army faced the Soviet Red Army, which had seized a large amount of White Army equipment. The Soviet Red Army, which had just fought, had completed re-arming and training due to weapons from the Chinese Federation and weapons from Europe.
He became a land lion with a large number of armored forces and a large amount of air power. Although, naval warships are still not comparable to those of the Western world powers. However, most of the tanks, vehicles and aircraft he equipped with come from the "Federal of China", the number one arms power that made a fortune in the Russian civil war.
Facing Ukraine and Poland in front of us, Vladimir Lenin believed that Poland could serve as a bridge to the Red Army, through which it would facilitate support for other national movements and create revolutions in other parts of Europe.
Under such a contradiction, the war entered the Soviet Red Army and the Polish army in this quiet and cold dawn.
The Red Army soldiers were crawling in the cold trenches one by one, and they did not fall asleep like the Polish soldiers opposite. In addition to the Mosinnagan rifle, they also held the m1 eagle-style short assault rifle. Together with the "Siden Submachine Gun", the m1 short assault rifle has become a standard weapon for Soviet soldiers under the reverse design of Russian designers.
The difference is that the "Siden submachine gun" has become a 7.62 mm, 75-round drum-type ammunition supply system. The original steel wire folding stock has also become a solid wooden stock due to its complex structure. This submachine gun, which is almost completely redesigned, has been renamed the Umezine Tsev i-type submachine gun, referred to as the mi submachine gun.
In order not to conflict with the rifle naming, the imitation m1 short assault rifle is directly called a mei rifle. As for machine guns, the Soviet Red Army was still equipped with a 7.62mm heavy machine gun with thick shield produced in the Middle World War I.
Although it was still cold today. However, in the early morning, the sky became clear. The cold and whistling night wind dispelled the fog in advance. With the outbreak signal, the war began on this cold land.
Regardless of the arrangements during the attack or the method of launching a sudden attack, it shows the good learning ability of the Soviet Red Army.
The attack was initiated at 5:30 am. The attack method was to launch wheeled tanks and armored infantry near the front line, which were silently propelled by manpower to a sudden launch. There was no artillery preparation at all, and there was no fire preparation at all for aviation.
In the horrified eyes of the Polish soldiers, the behemoth in the dark roared astonishingly. In the sky, the flares fired by self-propelled artillery were illuminated. This time the Soviet Red Army launched an attack in two completely different styles from the way they fought in the past.
On the ground, when the metal wheels of armored vehicles were rolling against the frozen soil, the "Ben Lei ii" attack aircraft in the sky made a heavy roar and appeared over the battlefield. In the Polish army, except for some old fighters provided by Britain and France, there was no decent air force at all. Even in the civil war, the Red Army pilots who had air hand-to-hand combat with Britain and France did not take their existence seriously.
Behind the tanks and armored vehicles are the infantry of the Soviet Red Army like waves. They cleared the remaining enemies and occupied positions after the armored forces broke through the enemy's front line.
As the attack began, the sound of gunfire began to echo on the cold land. In almost an instant, the land became a hot and terrifying place of death.
In the tank, in addition to the old "gray wolf tank" from the arsenal of the "Federal Chinese", in the light of the flares, German self-propelled cannons and British Marks can often be seen old-fashioned before they were "born".
Despite the impact of the Red Army, if soldiers of the "Thunder International" armored brigade, such as Guderian, Manstein, and Rommel, who have been in the battlefield for a long time, or those who are equipped with the world's latest "Thunderbolt" tanks and tank nanny, see it, they will definitely say that this is a completely "amateur-level" armored offensive battle.

The continuous machine guns and tanks that kept firing shells became life-seeking demons in the eyes of the Polish army. The only thing that could still hold on for a while under such a blow was the only fire support points equipped with flat-fire cannons.
Faced with the threat of machine guns and flat-fired cannons, they fought back against more suppressed machine guns and intensive attacks after the tank gun was turned around.
"Brothers, let us send these bastards to hell together!"
In the telephone in the tank, Paul Kochakin, as the commander who grew up in the war, had lost the elegance he had in the instructor position. This was probably because he had been in the "Roaring Babin" camp for too long, or that he had been the deputy who was promoted to Babin! Unconsciously, some of Babin's bad habits had "infected" him.
"You guys are so good. Follow me and rush forward and send these bastards to hell!"
In the radio channel, the roar of "roaring Babin" came.
As the assault force in the cavalry army, the commander and political commissar of the Tank Division, Paul Kochakin and his boss, Roaring Babin, led their tanks, facing the constant attack of flat-fire artillery fire, they fought hard in the time between dawn.
At this time, the Polish artillery fire made the first stopping sound after the attack began.
The roar of the cannons when they opened fire made the world lose their original colors almost at the same time. The Red Army was almost covered with flares in the sky, and the flames that soared into the sky when the group of shells exploded completely lost their brightness.
The earth trembled as the shells fell. The originally solid tanks were shaking like the storm of the ocean, and the most insignificant wooden boats. The shrapnel were also hitting the tank's armor like a storm. Paul Kochakin tried his best to hold on to the iron handle on his command vehicle, gritting his teeth and gritting his blue face to endure this roar that seemed to come from hell.
He had no confidence in the attack at all. After all, an artillery attack could not stop the attack of their brave warriors.
The Polish artillery group was extremely effective in attacking the Soviet Red Army armored cluster. The hastily fired groups of artillery shells formed by the barrage formed by falling, hitting a considerable number of tanks. The tanks hit by artillery shells rolled on the ground like toys, or they were directly lifted off their weak turrets by a shell.
But in the artillery fire, more tanks were constantly advancing.
