It is very different from the Warsaw Uprising in existing history. This Warsaw Uprising, which Malashenko personally experienced, is obviously another version of the story.
Because of the timely intervention of the leading division and the seizure of control of the central bridge over the Vistula River, the Red Army was trapped on the east bank of the Vistula River for a long time in history. Repeated attempts to break in could only send down at most battalion-level light infantry.
After crossing the other side, it no longer existed that it was difficult to produce any qualitative change in the face of the German defense.
A large group of Red Army troops entered the city together with heavy equipment, and control of the central bridge over the Vistula River, which was strategically located, also fell into the hands of the enemy. This news was like a wildfire on the prairie, and it spread to all the German troops in the east of the city in less than half a day.
The ears of the siege troops made the German army, which was originally worried about the Polish ghosts chopping up melons and vegetables, suddenly become wary and worried.
Head-to-head street fighting with the Russians in the city?
Are you kidding!?
Every German soldier these days knows that the Russians on the opposite side have an absolutely superior force. In their main attack direction, they can even gather troops several times larger than their own to launch a ferocious attack. In most cases, their technical equipment is also superior.
Occupy an absolute advantage.
The enemy has good equipment and many men. Now that they have captured the Central Bridge, it means that the Russian reinforcements will continue to arrive in more and more numbers, enter the city, and the equipment will most likely be better than that of the Germans.
A lot.
Under such circumstances, if we were to fight with the Russians in a close-quarters battlefield such as street fighting, who had more troops and who could survive to the end, the result could be said to be that the German army would be defeated without even thinking about it.
What's even worse is that the disturbing situation doesn't stop there. The situation outside Warsaw is not much better either.
The German field groups on the north and middle roads collapsed, the Grossdeutschland Division lost contact, and rumors of unknown life and death came out of nowhere, but it really frightened the German siege troops who were already on tenterhooks in the middle of the night.
I was afraid that the Russians would come and lock me down in the city and beat the dogs, but at that time even escaping became a luxury.
It was under such a situation that the soldiers of the German siege troops, who no longer had the intention to continue fighting with the Polish ghosts and were still worried about being imprisoned in the city and becoming unjust ghosts, finally found their way to the city in the dead of night at midnight.
, when the superiors issued an emergency retreat order, they immediately left the city via the original route, and at the same time announced that they would relinquish control of Warsaw City and abandon it.
The German soldiers, who were overjoyed in their hearts, retreated overnight as if they had received an imperial decree. They succeeded in escaping before more Soviet troops surrounded Warsaw from all directions, but the consequences of this had only just begun.
Although they were severely damaged by the German army, the Warsaw Uprising Army was far from defeated as it was in history. Its current situation can basically be summarized as "the strength is greatly reduced but the vitality is still there."
Facing the empty eastern area left by the German army after their retreat, the Germans had a psychological shadow. After the initial suspicion, the embarrassed Warsaw uprising army soon realized that the Germans had really escaped, and there was a high probability that it was
Won't come back again.
As for why the Germans ran away at this moment when they saw that their victory was about to be accomplished, the Soviet troops that had already penetrated into the west of the city and seized control of the Central Bridge were obviously the only reason for the Germans to do this.
Of course, the senior leaders of the Warsaw Uprising Army were aware of this and knew that the Germans were definitely not driven away by their own side, but by the more ferocious Soviet Red Army.
However, sometimes even if you know the truth, you can't talk nonsense. The so-called facts are not convenient to talk about at any time, especially at this special juncture, you have to talk in a different way.
After quickly sending troops to occupy the empty city area left by the Germans, the well-prepared Warsaw uprising army immediately began to spread "the heroic insurgents, the heroes of the motherland, drove away the evil German fascism" in the city.
Rumors of this kind.
Due to the so-called national pride and some weird IQ levels, this rumor of three people becoming a tiger spreads more and more widely in the city, and the more it spreads, the more evil it becomes.
With deliberate exaggeration, this outrageous rumor eventually evolved into many different versions.
Some people say that heroic rebel members descended from the sky, touched the roof of the German city defense commander's house in the middle of the night, penetrated into the house, wiped the neck of the Nazi general who was sleeping soundly in the house with a knife, and escaped without a trace. He was beheaded with one move, and everyone said that
The frightened German soldiers were horrified by the power of the elusive Warsaw uprising army, and immediately ran away all night without thinking, fearing that they would become the next victims to lose their lives in a deep sleep.
Do you think this version of the rumor is outrageous enough? No, there are even more outrageous versions, such as the one below.
The city of Warsaw, which had been unable to be conquered for a long time, was an indestructible super fortress in front of the German army. It was more fortified and tenacious than the Russian Stalingrad.
The heroic members of the rebel army smashed the evil attacks of the Fascists again and again. The German commander was helpless and could not sleep all night. His blood pressure soared. In the end, he was defeated by the "invincible" Warsaw rebel army due to a heart attack.
, was so angry that he died at his post. He died suddenly. The frightened German soldiers immediately ran away in a hurry, not daring to fight anymore.
All in all, these rumors are widely circulated. The outrageous rumors about looking for your mother - extremely outrageous are not limited to the above two types. They are spread from ten to ten, and all kinds of tricks are spread. It can be called magic.
on site.
But no matter which version of the rumor it is, none of them takes the credit of the Red Army into account. It doesn't mention the Red Army's entry into the city. It only talks about how brave the Warsaw Uprising Army was, beating them with three or two blows of German sticks.
He was pissed off, retreated, and was able to scare the enemy away in the middle of the night without taking any action. He was actually more awesome than Zhang Fei at the end of the Changban Bridge.
During the interview, Comrade Political Commissar collected several different versions of the rumors, and quietly recorded them based on the interviewees' descriptions. After writing them down on a notepad, he now showed them to the car.
The comrade, the division commander who was sitting next to him in the back seat, looked over.
Malashenko never expected that things would develop like this, to such an outrageous level of magical realism.
"Damn it! How did Warsaw become like this!?"
He was so angry at the actual text recorded on the notepad that his eyebrows jumped. He felt that after all the hard work he had done, he had benefited from the Polish guy who was still unappreciated. Malashenko was so angry that he screamed "Oops"
Russian curses were blurted out in the car immediately.
"They don't even take the leader seriously! These are no longer ordinary Polish ghosts. These are obviously thugs! We must hit hard!"
