Chapter Seventy-Nine: War Mobilization

Parker stood up and said, "Sir, we only have more than five hundred people, and the enemy we will face is tens of thousands. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info We are alone, I am afraid it is difficult to do anything. Moreover, Warsaw did not go to war with the Lithuanian government army, so would we do so without taking it upon ourselves to start a war? ”

The officers below were also exchanging words and talking about it, after all, everyone could see that it was difficult to continue advancing to the northwest, and that without Warsaw's order, it was really unpredictable to start a war with Lithuania without authorization.

Koval pointed to the map and said: "We are not trying to provoke a war with Lithuania, our troops are advancing quickly to the east, as long as we defeat the Soviet army there and occupy it before the Lithuanian government army." ”

"What if the Lithuanian army attacks us?" Locke asked, confused.

Koval said with a smile: "If Lithuania provokes a war, the responsibility is not on our side, and the army behind us will have a reason to drive over."

Although we have a much smaller force than the enemy we may encounter, they are scattered throughout the Lithuanian region, and we are condensed into a fist, and if we seize the opportunity, we will be able to knock them out.

Although it will be much easier for us to fight in Belarus, we are only a supporting role in the other main forces, and even if there is any credit, it will only be lined up in the corner of the newspaper, and not many people will know about it.

If we regain Lithuania, every Polish will know the name of our troops. Each and every one of our names will be recorded in history. Who wants to reclaim the Lithuanian lands with me? ”

Locke stood up and said, "Sir, can we win?" ”

Koval looked into his eyes and said firmly, "Have I led you to failure?" ”

"Nope!"

"Then this time we will win!" Koval said firmly.

"Sir, I obey your orders!" Locke said decisively.

Alex also stood up and said, "Sir, I'll hit wherever you say." ”

Parker looked at Koval and said, "I obey orders." ”

Kanas and the other officers also stood up in obedience to Koval's command.

Koval looked at the officers with satisfaction, and thought to himself: the money from the past few days was finally not spent in vain. Otherwise, these guys are not so simple, they are willing to follow Koval without orders from their superiors.

"Parker, you go buy a month's worth of forage." Koval ordered: "From now on, the whole army will end its vacation and be ready to go at any time." ”

After two days of preparation, Coval's army was well prepared. It's just that after a big battle in front, ammunition consumption is serious. The M1898 Mauser rifle that Koval was armed with lacked ammunition. The large number of Mosin Nagant rifles that were seized did not have the same ammunition as Mauser rifles, so Koval had to select 200 good Mosin Nagant rifles and 100,000 rounds of ammunition from the captured weapons.

Without bullets, Koval didn't dare to rush forward with his troops, otherwise it would be as tragic as Li Ling of the Han Dynasty if he ran out of ammunition and food.

On the evening of the 29th, Koval received a letter from the police station: the rest of the 11th Infantry Division had arrived in Lentvaris in the afternoon.

Koval walked around the tent twice with the letter in his hand, and finally put it on top of the oil lamp and lit it. Then he took out a box from the bottom of the bed, and took out a bundle of coins from it and put it in his bosom.

"Mayevsky! Go and call Kanas, then go and tell the cavalry to prepare, gather a dozen wagons, and we will go and transport the ammunition. Koval shouted next door.

Kanas soon came over and asked strangely, "Sir, is there something wrong?" ”

"The large force of our division has arrived in Lentvaris, and we are going to order ammunition tonight." Koval said as he stood in front of the tent.

"It's getting dark! Are you in a hurry today? "Kanas is very strange.

"We rode over and arrived in an hour, we got the ammunition first, and when the wagon arrived behind us, we loaded it and brought it back." Koval said as he looked at the cavalry that was preparing.

"Joseph, prepare more ropes, we need to replenish the ammunition of the whole battalion this time. I'll rush over, and you and your cavalry will hurry up and follow. Koval said to Joseph.

"Yes, sir." Joseph replied.

After the Battle of Vilnius, Koval called up Joseph's cavalry. The militia of the cavalry saw that Koval's troops were strong in combat and well paid, and they were also happy to join Koval's troops.

Of course, being able to keep these twenty cavalry by his side is also the limit of what Koval can do. As for the incorporation of all the militia under General Vilko's command, those militia officers, including General Vilko, would not agree. They are all waiting for the Polish government to take them in, and as for Koval, who is only a small battalion commander, what benefit can he give them? No one would let the great god of the Polish Army go to the small temple of Koval.

Koval never thought of doing this, and any active officer who dared to integrate the troops without permission would be tantamount to splitting the country and would be attacked by the Polish government. Without the big tree of the Polish government, how long can Koval survive?

Koval took Kanas and Majevsky with the whip and rushed to Rentvaris.

"Sir, why do we have to rush over tonight?" Kanas asked, riding beside Koval.

"Rack! We have the ammunition tonight, and tomorrow morning we will set out to the northwest. Koval said calmly.

"Ahh Leaving tomorrow morning? Wouldn't it be too hasty. Won't we wait for the order of the division headquarters to come down and set off together? Kanas shouted in surprise.

"Do you think that when the regimental and division headquarters arrive in Vilnius, we will still be able to command the troops?" Koval said with a contemptuous smile.

"Why? What's going on! Canas exclaimed strangely.

"What do you think they will think of us when one of our battalions receives credit and honor for the recapture of Vilnius, and the entire division has almost no merit except for our second battalion?" Koval said coldly: "I'm sure that as soon as our commanders arrive in Vilnius, they will control the command of our battalion and find a way to toss us. ”

Kanas said suspiciously, "Is it so serious?" ”

"Vilnius is a big cake and now we eat it alone and they think we have robbed them of their cake. If someone snatches your birthday cake, what do you do back? Koval asked calmly.
