Soviet soldiers soon approached from nearby, only to see a corpse and a cannon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Lithuanian officer returned to his stronghold with his soldiers.

The Soviet soldiers rushed twice in succession, but they were beaten back.

"Class 3, you guys go up!" The Soviet officer ordered.

"Sir, let's give them a shot." A soldier in the third squad looked at the artillery next to him and suggested. Instead of rushing straight to death like this, it is better to try artillery.

"You're going to shoot?" The Soviet officer questioned.

"Yes, I asked the dead artilleryman, it's okay to aim and hit it at such a close distance."

"Okay, you can try."

The soldier opens the chamber, rejects the cartridge casing, stuffs a shell, closes the bolt, and pulls the drawstring.

With a loud bang, the barrel of the cannon exploded directly, and the surrounding Soviet officers and soldiers were immediately killed by the fragments of the barrel, and the soldier who fired the cannon was directly hit on the body by the flying iron pieces and died directly.

Although the Lithuanian soldiers used various means to resist the attack of the Soviet army, the Soviet army firmly advanced with the advantage of artillery and manpower. With the reminder of this accident, they paid more attention to the protection of artillery, and repelled several waves of Lithuanian troops attacking artillery.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Soviet troops had already compressed the Lithuanian army into an area only one or two hundred meters wide.

In desperation, General Zukauskas personally went to the camp of the Polish army to negotiate.

"Major Koval, I beg you to give my army a way out for the sake of our common struggle against the Soviets."

Koval was silent, took out a telegram and handed it to Zukauskas.

Zukauskas worriedly picked up the telegram and read it, which read: "At six o'clock in the morning of May 24, 1919, the Lithuanian bandit army led by Zukauskas deliberately launched an attack on our army and invaded our territory・・・・・・

"How can you do this? How can you do that? General Zukauskas yelled angrily.

"General, let your soldiers lay down their weapons, I can give them a way to live." Koval said calmly.

"You vile and shameless villains, clowns who hide behind your backs and use intrigues, God will punish you." General Zukauskas shouted.

"I'm not in a hurry, but your army will soon be finished." Koval leaned back in his chair and said softly.

"Even if I die, I'm going to take you to hell with me." General Zukauskas suddenly said coldly: "If you don't get out of the way, I will attack you and die with you." ”

"General, I just have this one battalion, and behind this, we have two more battalions. You didn't break through our defenses in the morning, let alone now? Koval stood up and said firmly and forcefully: "After so many days of fighting, is your army's ammunition still enough?"

You are now at war with us, just to bury so many of your wounded in vain. We are all people who fight for our nation and country, and I admire your ideals very much. But this is the battlefield, the battlefield of life and death. I can give you a suggestion that you can choose to surrender to the Soviet troops, or join us in Poland. ”

"Join Poland?" Zukauskas said mockingly.

"We in Poland and Lithuania have historically been one country - the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and we have had a glorious history together." Koval smiled and said: "Poland and Lithuania are one and the same, and General Pilsudski misses his days in Lithuania very much. ”

"Humph!" General Zukauskas sighed with great disdain.

The two sides fell silent.

"Can you get our wounded out?" General Zukauskas's face stiffened slightly.

After a moment's thought, Koval replied, "Of course, I can give some medicine, but their weapons must be surrendered." ”

"Yes." General Zukauskas said calmly.

With the agreement reached between the two sides, General Zukauskas returned to his command.

He gathered his men and said in dismay: "The situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable to us, and the Polish army has agreed to transfer our wounded from them, so go with you if you want to!" ”

"General!"

"General!"

"Sir!"

The surrounding subordinates shouted bitterly.

"Let's go!" General Zukauskas waved his hand weakly.

After General Zukauskas left, Koval gathered his men and said: "The Lithuanians are almost overwhelmed, and everything is up to us." Did the two battalions of our army outside the city enter the town? ”

"It's been brought in." Jacob replied immediately.

"Okay, the Soviet army has wiped out the Lithuanians, and they will definitely not leave easily, we have a tough battle to fight." Koval looked at the officers around him and said, "The two new battalions immediately occupied the vacant houses and established a defensive line.

The artillery tactics used by the Soviet army this time are very effective, and we also have to learn from them, don't we also have two identical 76mm mountain guns? How about pulling them into the city and dealing with the Soviet army fortifications? ”

"Sir, we don't have so many artillery, so who is responsible for the howitzers outside the city!" Ivanovsky said.

"Shooting at close range doesn't require complicated calculations, you can just aim directly, you can let your men carry it. And speed up and pull out our guns in the city and set them all up, this time we have so many shells that we can hit hard. Koval said.

"Sir, the Soviet army has nearly 10,000 people this time, are we playing a little big this time!" Parker asked.

"Don't we still have the German army as a backer on our side?" Koval said with a smile.

"They didn't help the Lithuanians, will they help us?" Alex asked rhetorically.

"I'll go there myself and they'll help us. Of course, all the preparations of our own troops must be done well, so that nothing goes wrong. ”

"Yes, sir."

・・・・・・

"Major Coval, the big war is coming, what is the important thing to come to me?" General Goltz handed Koval a cup of coffee.

"That's a good thing." Koval took a sip and put it down leisurely.

"The Soviet army is menacing, and the major is still so leisurely!"

"Isn't that true of you, General? I came this time to actually want the two armies to cooperate and fight together against the Soviet army. Koval said.

"Our army has been tired for a long time, and we really can't help the major."

"So is the general going back empty-handed after he leaves this time?"

"Hmm."

"The southern route army of the Lithuanian army is about to be wiped out, and the northern route army should follow in their footsteps. What reason does the general have to stay here? (To be continued.) )
