Chapter 339: Ambush (2)

"We of our army should wait here for a while, maybe Chairman Sukaspoon can find reinforcements?" Some officers suggested. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Another officer also said: "We need time to reassure the troops, boost morale, reorganize the scattered units and replenish the officers at all levels." Also prepare how to break out of Dina Fort. We need to carry food and find things to pack, and we can't break out empty-handed. There is no food for us for more than 100 miles around here! ”

They have already scavenged the grain in the nearby villages, and even if the local residents risk their lives to hide a little, it will not be able to meet the needs of their nearly 10,000 people.

"We still have a few thousand wounded, and we also need time to deal with them, and the lightly injured should still be able to walk with us after a few days of rest." Another officer added.

"Well, since everyone's opinion is to stay and wait and see what happens, then we still hold on to Fort Dina for the time being, and all units must also hurry up and prepare for a breakthrough." Division Commander Cronin concluded.

"Yes, sir."

Koval and his troops sneaked into the dense forest east of Fort Dina.

The troops were immediately deployed due east.

Koval immediately summoned the senior officers and ordered: "Don't block all the troops due east, we must vacate that direction and deploy the troops on both sides of the escape route of the Soviet troops." ”

"Sir, won't the Soviet troops run through the gaps we have vacated?" Jonson said suspiciously.

"In ancient China, there is an old saying called "Don't strangle when you return to your teacher", that is, don't block the retreat of the enemy who wants to escape, and prevent them from jumping off the wall and fighting back desperately." Koval explained seriously: "This dense forest is not a Jedi such as high mountains and canyons, if the Soviet troops fight to the death, they will definitely be able to inflict great casualties on us." It is impossible for our more than 3,000 people to completely block their breakthrough of nearly 10,000 people. ”

"We still have the 1st Infantry Division and the 3rd Infantry Division, why do we feel like we are the one with fewer people now?" Jonson said suspiciously.

The officers around him couldn't help but laugh.

"Battalion Commander Jonsson, although the total number of our troops is greater than the Soviet troops in Fort Dina, if we are to hold in three directions, the forces of nature will be dispersed." Parker explained.

"General Shimigvi transferred the tank regiment away just now, since we can't stop it, why do we have to stop it here!" Jonson said in a daze.

Locke analyzed: "General Shimigvi does not want us to completely block the Soviet breakthrough troops, but only so that we can hold them back for a while, buy time for the 1st Infantry Division and the 3rd Infantry Division in the north and south, and wait for them to come over and completely annihilate the enemy forces in the encirclement of the three routes." ”

"General Himigvi's order is naturally a very normal deployment. But if our independent regiment wants to hold back the outlaws of the Soviet troops for a while, we will pay the price with our lives. Taking into account the delays of the various orders on the battlefield and the possibility that Soviet troops could block the 1st and 3rd Infantry Divisions in a part, we would have to hold off the enemy for at least a quarter of an hour to half an hour. Koval described: "That is to say, during this period of time we will have to face at least the overwhelming majority of the Soviet troops alone, removing their wounded and broken troops, and we may have five thousand men in front of us." This is not 5,000 people in an ordinary state, but 5,000 vicious wolves who want to go home. They will not retreat, they will not be afraid, they will only have the conviction to break through our positions. ”

"Are the Soviet troops so powerful?" Parker asked: "Although in peacetime the Soviet troops prefer to charge with bayonets, we Polish soldiers are not inferior to him. It's just not as reckless as they are! In fact, on the battlefield, blind recklessness did not show stronger combat effectiveness. On the battlefield, the Soviet troops, with the exception of some veterans, were still weaker than our soldiers. ”

Koval reminded: "A man who does not care about life or death can be called reckless; But a group of people who don't care about life and death is very scary. You have never seen such a scene, but the 3rd Infantry Division was chased back by Soviet troops under Fort Dina, and you always know that when all the men are fighting together, the fighting power that erupts is very terrible. ”

"Sir, hearing you say that, my heart is beating a little drum." Parker said.

Koval said solemnly: "What I said must not be leaked out, especially not to be told to junior officers and soldiers, this will create a fear of the enemy in ordinary soldiers." But you are high-ranking officers, and you must be fearless, calm and analytical, no matter how strong the enemy is, look for the enemy's flaws, and deal a fatal blow to the enemy. ”

"Isn't there a bit of a hole in the mission of our regiment?" Jonson asked, confused.

"According to my estimates, we can hold back about 60 percent of the enemy troops with the positions we have set up in advance, but we also have to pay at least 500 casualties." Koval said calmly: "General Himigvi's arrangement is not wrong, and it is undoubtedly a very cost-effective plan to use about five or six thousand people to ring five or six thousand people. ”

"Actually, we don't blame the above, it's just that every time this kind of battle is encountered by our independent regiment. We were the first to cross the river and build a pontoon bridge over the Gava River, and we are still the ones now. Just here we gnaw bones, the 1st Infantry Division and the 3rd Infantry Division eat meat and drink soup on both sides! Locke grumbled under his breath.

"Do you think there are other troops besides our independent regiment that can do this?" Koval exclaimed encouragement: "General Shimigvi has entrusted us with the task of trusting our independent regiment. If we react passively to the orders of our superiors because of the speculation in our hearts. So how will this battle be fought? ”

"The sir's lesson." The officers around him bowed their heads and said.

Koval comforted in a steady and heavy tone: "The superiors have given us the task, and we naturally have to resolutely complete it. However, they can't completely rigidly follow the orders above, they have to command so many troops at the same time, how can they take into account the details of each mission! In this, it is up to our officers at all levels to give full play to their command ability, to complete the tasks assigned to us from above, from a simple order, and to take every detail into account. ”
