  • Janusz Odziemkowski Bitwa Nad Autą, 4–6 Lipca 1920 Roku
    Janusz Odziemkowski Bitwa nad Autą, 4–6 lipca 1920 roku Przegląd Historyczno-Wojskowy 14(65)/1 (243), 51-74 2013 JANUSZ ODZIEMKOWSKI bitWa nad autą, 4–6 lipca 1920 roku dniach 4–6 lipca 1920 r. na północnym odcinku frontu polsko-rosyj- skiego, rozciągającego się od dolnej Dźwiny po ukrainne stepy, 1 Armia gen. Gustawa Zygadłowicza toczyła walki z wojskami Frontu Zachodnie- Wgo Michaiła Tuchaczewskiego. Przeszły one do historii jako „bitwa nad Autą”, od nazwy rzeki, na której była oparta obrona centrum zgrupowania 1 Armii. Bitwę nad Autą trzeba zaliczyć do najważniejszych wydarzeń wojny Rzeczypospolitej z Rosją bolszewicką. Zapoczątkowała ona bowiem odwrót wojsk polskich na Białorusi i Li- twie, przejęcie inicjatywy przez przeciwnika, którego rozpoczęty wówczas pochód na zachód został zatrzymany dopiero po 6 tygodniach na przedpolach Warszawy. Mimo tych okoliczności bitwa nie doczekała się szerszego opracowania w polskiej literaturze historycznowojskowej, nie zajmuje też zatem właściwego jej miejsca w świadomości historycznej społeczeństwa. Zasadnicze kwestie związane z bitwą nad Autą dotykają dwóch zagadnień: przy- czyn porażki 1 Armii oraz związanego z tym pytania, czy przy ówczesnym stosunku sił na północnym odcinku frontu przegranej można było uniknąć lub przynajmniej zminimalizować jej skutki. TEREN Bitwa rozegrała się na froncie o szerokości około 100 km, rozciągającym się od rzeki Dźwiny w rejonie Dryssy na północy, po bagna górnej Berezyny na południu. Wysunięty najdalej na północ odcinek frontu 1 Armii obejmował obszar o szerokości około 20 km, usytuowany między Dźwiną skręcającą w tym miej- scu na północny zachód, a jej lewobrzeżnym dopływem – Dzisną. Mniej więcej w centrum tego obszaru leży jezioro Jelnia. W 1920 r.

Order of Battle, and Organizational Books C. Unit Histories D. Map Books E. Archival Records Design Notes A. Introduction After reading David Glantz’s book "Zhukov’s Greatest Defeat", I became intrigued with this unknown, but major operation. According to Col Glantz, the Soviet forces used for Operation Mars, were substantially larger then the more well known Operation Uranus, the counterattack at Stalingrad. Two Soviet fronts, Kalinin and Western, seven Armies, consisting of 667,000 men and over 1900 tanks, attacked on 25 November 1942 with the goal of destroying the German 9th Army, pinching off the Rzhev salient, and eliminating the threat this salient posed to Moscow. By attacking in four directions, the Soviets planned on tying down what little mobile reserves the Germans had, and not allowing them to be deployed elsewhere. The battle was fought during blizzard-like snowstorms which, along with the poor terrain in the area, contributed mightily to the Soviet defeat. The Germans fought back hard, with a stubborn defense, their strong points holding out behind the Soviet lines, further complicating moving the second echelon offensive troops forward.
