I think Bessarabia has 7 infantry, I may have made a mistake in earlier posts.
Eastern Poland is not in doubt if the Soviets bring in aircraft.
With luck, both Bessarabia and Eastern Poland could fall.
Here’s how I’ll allocate units:
Bessarabia:
7 infantry, 1 fighter, 1 tactical bomber (Soviet) vs 7 infantry (Germany)
83% win for Soviets
Eastern Poland:
22 infantry, 3 tanks, 2 mechanised infantry, 3 artillery, 1 fighter, 1 tactical bomber (Soviet) vs 5 tanks, 4 mechanised infantry, 5 artillery, 11 infantry, 3 AAA (Germany)
83% win for Soviets
Move all ground units within reach to Eastern Poland. Use 1 infantry from Western Ukraine to join the attack on Bessarabia. Allocate aircraft as shown above.

Why not send all aircraft? They can land in Ukraine or Bryansk and be defended. The only reason I would do this attack at all would be to ensure several land units lived so that Germany has to move some units laterally rather than all forward.
Nevermind. I guess the second part of you post didn’t come through. There was no text on attacking E. Poland.
Very aggressive going after both.
Definitely.

Someone please confirm my numbers:

3 AA gun
11 infantry
4 mech infantry
5 artillery

8 infantryUkraine
6 infantry

7 infantry are on Bessarabia
East Poland as 4 Mech infantry, 16 infantry, 3 AA guns, 5 tanks, and 5 artillery
This is how I responded to Germany’s blitz into East Poland and what I was telling you about earlier.
Instead of attacking I shadowed the units in East Poland preventing them from making an immediate push forward without being counter attacked with heavy resistance.
Cool! 16 infantry instead of 11 infantry? You can’t get both that way. Might still be possible to destroy Eastern Poland by sending every unit within reach.
How did Germany respond to you?
To my recollection, Germany responded by doing two things. Making an assault towards Western Ukraine as well as consolidating the vast majority of their units in the Baltic States, primed for an attack on Leningrad (also moving their infantry from Finland into Vyborg.)
Hope it worked (works) out!
