Chapter 148: Change
The Soviet army was preparing to attack the Polish army, and many soldiers were marching forward in the streets, and dozens of shells fell on their heads, and they were killed and wounded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
A steady stream of shells fell on the Soviet-occupied neighborhoods and on the roofs of houses, which were immediately blown out of a large hole, and the 105mm shells even directly tore off the roof of the entire room.
"Hide, go inside the house and hide." One Soviet officer after another shouted.
Soon the streets were devoid of living people, leaving only corpses.
Koval stood at the window of the headquarters, looking outside. The continued shelling was not very effective, and the shells of the 77mm field guns could only blow a huge hole in the roof of the second floor, and it was difficult to hurt the Soviet troops hiding on the first floor of the house.
The performance of 105mm shells is much stronger, one 105mm shell can destroy a room, and a dozen 105mm shells can destroy a house.
Koval sighed: It is still the power of large-caliber heavy artillery in street fighting!
After five rounds of rapid fire, the German artillery began to fire with precision in single shots. The artillery observers on the western wall constantly provided Edmund behind him with the coordinates of the position of the Soviet troops, directing the artillery to fire at valuable targets.
The bayonet division commander thought about the road to success after taking Makmergay, lit a cigarette and took a puff.
The tremendous power of the German artillery salvo directly shook the smoke in his hand and fell to the ground.
He watched with wide eyes as dozens of black dots fell from the sky and fell on the heads of the Soviet troops, exploding the flowers of death.
"How can there be so many artillery! There were at least thirty artillery pieces. Not just 77mm guns, but 105mm guns. The bayonet division commander thought.
"Sir, do you want to go on the offensive or not?" A staff officer asked.
"How could the Poles have so much artillery? What did the Germans move? The bayonet division commander asked.
"The Germans have moved to the southwest of Markmelgay and have not moved."
"No, no, it must have been the Germans joining forces with the Poles, it must have been. Stop the offensive, pack up the loot and prepare to retreat. The bayonet division commander said.
"Retreat?" The officer below asked.
"The Germans and Polish lackeys have a conspiracy, and we are going to jump out of this." The commander of the bayonet division said solemnly.
The credit has already been received, what are you doing here! He thought to himself.
With the order given, the Soviet troops quickly collected the spoils of war in the towns, and took away weapons, food, clothing, and even livestock.
Koval watched in amazement as the Soviet army retreated rapidly to the east, never expecting that the Soviet army, which had just been preparing to attack with great fanfare, would change so quickly and suddenly withdraw from the city.
"It's your luck this time, let you go." Koval said with a deep sigh.
At this moment, Koval's plan to deal with them was all nullified, and he was busy with it.
The Soviet troops came from afar, and fought hard with the Lithuanian army for most of the day, and all the cards in their hands were revealed, and it was a good time to strike at them. The Polish army, on the other hand, was ready to give the Soviet army a blow to the head with its high morale, occupied houses, and had powerful artillery, and was ready to give the Soviet army a blow to the head.
Unfortunately, all this plot was frustrated by the timely withdrawal of Soviet troops.
"Sir, we've sent the message to General Shimigwe." Jacob came over and said.
Koval looked to the west from afar, thinking about General Shimigvi's actions, which were the key to the capture of Lithuania, and he was just a spectator.
At six o'clock in the morning of May 24, General Shimigvi led his troops to march thirty miles overnight under the cover of darkness and quietly came to the vicinity of Kaunas.
In order to ensure that the secrets were not leaked, all the people encountered along the way were guarded by the army, and the roads were blocked by the army, preventing the Lithuanians from passing the message to Kanas.
The sky was gray, and General Shimigvi sat quietly in his tent and waited・・・・・・
"General, a telegram from Mark Melgey at this time!"
General Shimigvi took it and looked: the Lithuanian army launched an attack on our army.
Immediately he stood up excitedly and shouted: "The whole army is attacking, immediately occupy and block the whole Kaunas, and all personnel are not allowed to enter or leave." Occupy the seat of the Lithuanian government, and not a single person can be spared. Confiscate all telegraph machines, and not let the news get out of here. We will regain Kaunas today, and the great Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth will be restored in our hands. ”
"Yes, sir." The surrounding officers shouted excitedly in unison.
Bands of Polish soldiers rushed towards Kanas.
Several soldiers standing guard in Kaunas were standing at the gates of the city, dozing off. Suddenly, looking at the Polish soldiers rushing over like wolves in the distance, he was so frightened that he was about to close the city gate, but it was too late, and he was swarmed by the Polish soldiers and solved them all with cold weapons.
At six o'clock in the morning, it was still quiet in Kanas, and many homes had not yet opened. Just to facilitate the actions of the Polish army.
Bands of Polish soldiers took a simple map of the city and hurried towards their goal. Several gates of the city were first controlled, and then the telegraph office was surrounded by soldiers.
A soldier banged heavily on the door of the telegraph office.
"Who?" The porter inside shouted impatiently, slowly opening the door through a crack, ready to see what was going on outside.
The Polish soldiers outside slammed into the door with all their might, and the door was slammed open. The soldiers rushed in one and searched every room.
"Where is your telegraph here? Honestly, quick talk? A soldier asked at the porter
The porter had no choice but to take them to the room where the telegraph was.
The soldiers moved him away without saying a word.
This is happening in many places.
A battalion of soldiers surrounded the government office building in Kaunas, stormed in and arrested all the personnel.
General Shimigvi walked into the government tribute building, carefully inquired about the progress of various matters, and said: "Have all the main officials of the Lithuanian government been arrested?" ”
"General, there are still many officials who have not come to work here at this time, so we have not caught them." An officer reported.
"Then go to their house and look for it, but don't shoot randomly." Shimigvi said.
"Yes, sir."
"Where is the Prime Minister of the Lithuanian government, Augustinus Waldmaras?" General Himigvi asked.
"General, we didn't find him, according to the captive, he went to visit a good friend yesterday."
"Waste, go now, be sure to catch him." General Himigvi shouted. Once this Lithuanian prime minister is allowed to run out, then the situation will be difficult to control.
"Yes, sir."
General Shimigvi stood on top of the government office building, quietly watching the whole city, waiting for the Lithuanian government to counterattack. There was too little time to prepare for this operation, a lot of information was not available, and there were too many fish that slipped through the net. (To be continued.) )
