In the Soviet camp, Ivan carefully questioned the two soldiers who had escaped. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Have you found the spy who wrote the letter?"

"Report to the sir, Captain Maxim has already connected with the spy, and she turned out to be a young woman. Captain Maxim talked to her for a while, as if he had received information about the enemy's conspiracy. Then Captain Maxim saw that it was getting dark, so he wanted to attack the enemy once and give them some gifts. Just as we were getting ready, we discovered that the spy had a quiet tryst with a Polish officer.

Captain Maxim decided to arrest him and torture him, who knew that Captain Maxim and others were not his opponents, and were killed by him, Yakov detonated the grenade and the explosives on his body. We were in charge of the light machine guns in ambush not far away, but they were all in a scuffle, and we didn't dare to shoot casually. Later, when the Poles heard the gunshots, they all rushed over. We escaped with the help of light machine-gun fire and the cover of the night. Two soldiers reported.

"So what exactly is the enemy's conspiracy?" Ivan yelled angrily.

"Connecting with the spy has always been done by Captain Maxim, we don't know the news." The two soldiers said with a wince.

"So you two don't know anything! What's the use of me sending you two over! Ivan glared at them fiercely and said, "Get out of here!" ”

The two soldiers retreated too much to escape.

"Sir, the two of them must have escaped and come back, otherwise only the two of them came back, and the others were dead." An officer stepped forward and said, "They should be punished severely, otherwise everyone will be like them as deserters and how to fight." ”

"Let them go to the logistics to deliver supplies!" Ivan said.

Such a punishment is too light! The officer thought in his heart, but looking at Ivan's cold face, he nodded in agreement.

He did not get the information he wanted, but Ivan still insisted on leading his troops to follow the Polish army.

On the 12th of May, the Soviet troops had also reached a distance of more than a dozen kilometers from Makmerge.

Suddenly an order from the division headquarters came from the rear:

Recently, the Lithuanian government army has been continuously gathering forces at the junction of the two sides, and has learned that the Lithuanian government is preparing to launch a large-scale attack on our army. The troops everywhere were ordered to concentrate their forces, move closer to the Utena region, and resist the attack of the Lithuanian army with all their might. The Soviets will win!

Ivan held an order for a long time and couldn't put it down, and now let him withdraw his army to Utena, then what he had done before would be useless.

Now that he has pushed the Polish army to the edge of the Lithuanian-controlled zone, as long as he increases his strength, he will be able to realize his plan, will it fall short? Ivan thought very unwillingly.

But if you don't follow the order, how will you explain when you go back? If your plan is wrong, I'm afraid you will be branded as a spy or a traitor.

Ivan hesitated, and the letter in his hand was crumpled by him. Eventually Ivan put away the letter, did not inform the other officers, and the troops moved on.

・・・・・・

Suddenly, news came from the scout bed in front of me.

"Sir, the Lithuanian government troops are marching from Makmergay at noon this day along the Shveyantui River and are marching towards Anishchiai. The enemy's troops stretched for several kilometers in front and behind, with numerous horses, herds of artillery, and dense crowds of large and small boats on the rivers. There are at least tens of thousands of enemies! The officer who went to reconnoiter reported.

Located just over thirty kilometres from Utana, Anikšciai is an important gateway to it.

If the enemy captured Anikshchiai, then Utena lay in front of the Lithuanian army like a naked maiden.

When Ivan received the news, he immediately understood that what was mentioned in the letter from the division headquarters had really happened. He stood on the side of the road, slowly circling around a large tree, trying to get out of his current predicament.

Suddenly, on an idea, he summoned all the senior officers over and asked the scouting officer to retell what he had seen to everyone.

All the officers turned their heads to each other, feeling that something was wrong. The Byro-Lithuanian Soviet Republic was weak and was able to survive thanks to the support of Moscow. However, the Soviet troops in Lithuania had not received sufficient support from Moscow for a long time, and now the Lithuanian government army was going to attack them with all its might, and it seemed that it would be difficult to support them.

Ivan stood in front of everyone and said firmly: "When I heard the news, I also feel that the pressure on our army has increased sharply, and the situation seems to be very unfavorable to me.

But thinking of where we are now - our troops are in the heart of the enemy, on the edge of the enemy's blood vessels, I see a wonderful opportunity.

The enemy does not know that we are under their noses now, and we only need to wait until the enemy's army has left Makmergey, but when they are fighting on the front line, suddenly rush out, cut off the enemy's transportation channels, cut off the enemy's material supply, and even capture Makmergey and destroy the enemy's materials piled up inside, so that the enemy's troops on the front line will be starved of food and ammunition, and will collapse without a fight. ”

"That's right! It's a brilliant plan. ”

"If you take it by surprise, you will definitely be able to catch the enemy off guard." Several officers applauded.

Ivan took out the letter, put it on the table and said, "The order from the division headquarters tells us to withdraw our troops immediately and assemble towards Utena. I'd like to hear your opinions. ”

A middle-aged, short-bearded officer picked up the letter, looked at it, and passed it down again.

"What about the opinion of the commissar?" Ivan asked.

"I support your plan, now we withdraw our troops back to Utena, it will take at least a week, it is better to be in the heart of the enemy and give the enemy a fatal blow." The mustachioed commissar said firmly.

"We support the opinion of the head of the regiment." The other officers chimed in.

As soon as Ivan saw that he had received the support of most of the officers, especially the commissars, the doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared. He decisively ordered: "In the next few days, we must pay attention to concealing ourselves and not be discovered by the Lithuanian army." The troops of the two battalions in the rear were to move quickly towards me.

The scouts had to keep a careful eye on the positions of the Lithuanian government troops, and once they could not get out of the front line, we could cut off their transport lines.

Also, we need to gather information on Mark Melgay in preparation for our attack on the town. ”

"Sir, do we still want to continue the pursuit of the Poles?" An officer asked.

Ivan thought for a moment and said: "Now our main enemy is the Lithuanian army, and the Poles will let them go for the time being. However, the Scouts still have to keep an eye on them, beware of them sabotaging our plans. ”

"Yes, sir." The surrounding officers went on a mission according to Ivan's orders.
