The singing faded away, but the fighting spirit of the officers here had been aroused. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

General Vilko divided all the volunteer corps into battalions according to the region, and the commander of the volunteer army with the highest local prestige was selected by the local captains to serve as the battalion commander. General Vilko sent officers close to him to each battalion as deputy commanders to convey his orders and help the battalion commanders command the battle.

"Battalion Commander Mazur, you took your battalion of five hundred men to assist Major Koval in the battle, and during the battle, you accepted his command." General Vilko ordered a stout man.

"Okay." Under the cold gaze of General Vilko, the battalion commander Mazur reluctantly accepted the order.

Koval took a cursory look at the distance from Vilnius on the map, and it would take more than two hours to march on foot. Koval thought for a moment, if he took advantage of the night to attack the northern city, he would definitely be able to catch the enemy by surprise.

"I want to leave at one o'clock in the morning and get under Vilnius before dawn tomorrow morning. Assaulting the Neris Bridge in the dark of night, the enemy must not have anticipated it. Koval said to General Vilko.

This operation requires the cooperation of other troops, otherwise Koval will not be able to hold on to the bridge for long after capturing the Neris Bridge.

"Battalion Commander Mazur, I need you to keep up with my troops, I don't want to share all the results alone!" Koval said solemnly to Battalion Commander Mazur.

"Rest assured, my warriors will not lag behind anyone in the face of battle." Mazur replied.

Although Koval hopes to be able to let Captain Andre's Varenna volunteers go all the way with him, so that the two sides will cooperate a little more tacitly. However, General Vilko prevaricated at will.

"I will lead the troops to set out around 4 a.m. and arrive at the preset position at seven o'clock, so I hope you will hold out until that time. Of course, I will send the cavalry troops out early to create chaos in the southern part of Vilnius, and plan your battle in the northern part of the city. General Vilko said.

"Can I make a small request?" Koval said.

"I hope to transfer the small cavalry of the Varenna Volunteer Army to me for command, so that we can communicate battlefield information with each other, and secondly, I need to keep the cavalry on the perimeter as a guard." Koval explained.

After a moment's thought, General Vilko agreed: "That cavalry will be under your command!" ”

Koval thought to himself, Andrei's precious cavalry has finally fallen into my hands.

After discussing the battle plan, Koval walked out of the venue, the evening breeze blew away a trace of wine on his body, fortunately the wine was drunk at the back of the banquet, otherwise Koval would have to wonder if these captains would all be drunk in the banquet.

In order to drive these gathered volunteers from all over the country, General Vilko did make a lot of efforts to coerce and lure.

Squinting and resting, he walked back to the second battalion's accommodation, and the other officers around him gathered around him to ask about the meeting.

As they spoke, their topic was crooked:

"Battalion commander, is there anything to eat?"

"Battalion commander, what kind of wine are you drinking?"

A few second-class goods hid in the crowd and asked, after all, the smell of alcohol on Koval's body couldn't escape everyone's eyes.

Koval smiled and said, "Vodka, wine, which of you would like to have it?" ”

"Battalion commander, take out the good wine and taste it!" A few of the activists who jumped out thought that Koval might be too drunk to see clearly, so they started to heckle in the back.

These guys are just active elements in the troops, and they may not be the hardest trained and the most powerful, but they generally have good qualities except for discipline, and they can enliven the atmosphere of the troops, and they are important lubricants in the troops.

"Everyone is excited, the battle is coming, are you ready?" Koval opened his bright eyes and asked aloud.

"Ready!"

"We can't wait." The following is a burst of passionate answers.

"I'm hungry for my spear!" Ever since Koval made strange jokes from time to time to set the mood for hard-training soldiers, such jokes had become popular among the ranks.

"The battle plan was already in my head, the three company commanders stayed, and the others immediately went back to organize the troops to rest and set off in the second half of the night. As for the wine you want, this battle is over, and everyone in the camp is invited to drink. Koval said.

The three company commanders followed Koval into the room, and the others scattered.

"Our mission is to set off at 2 a.m. tomorrow, and it is expected to arrive at the attack position in the northern city around five o'clock, and take advantage of the time when the enemy will not wake up, and directly assault the Neris Bridge. We are to strike quickly from the west along the road along the river, and we are to occupy the Neris Bridge as soon as possible, and prevent the enemy from reinforcing from the southern city.

Parker, the third company is responsible for guarding the Neris Bridge, and I will strengthen the machine gun squad at the battalion headquarters to you, and you will be mainly responsible for clearing the enemy troops from the enemy on the other side of the bridge and the buildings around the bridge.

Alex, Locke, you lead your troops to attack from an alternate route, and the machine gun squad and the marksman squad occupy the commanding heights of the surrounding buildings and provide fire support. Assault squads and ordinary squads are responsible for assaulting enemy positions. I lead the battalion headquarters to support you. ”

Koval picked up a dilapidated map of the city of Vilnius and explained it to the trio.

The three of them studied for a while, and Parker asked, "What if the enemy rushes up and down the river and comes by boat?" If the enemy fires too hard, two machine guns will only be able to block the bridge. If the enemy strikes from the left and right from the upper and lower levels, we may not be able to resist. ”

Koval said: "You have to rely on machine guns to block the bridge deck, don't block it too hard, let the enemy see the hope of rushing over, try to let the enemy attack the bridge at the beginning, wait for them to gather on the bridge, and suddenly exert force to destroy them." The 1st and 2nd Companies will support you in time after defeating the defenders of Beicheng District. Of course, just in case, Parker, you secretly planted explosives under the bridge, and if you really can't hold it, I order you must blow up the bridge for me. ”

"Blow up the bridge!" The three Parkers were a little surprised.

Although they are not native to Vilnius, they are well aware of what the bridge means to Vilnius. It's like someone wants to blow up the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, it's really reluctant.

"Yes, blow up the bridge. I know the value of this bridge. But what I value more is the value of people. We have to be accountable to our subordinates. If we win, I will definitely rebuild the bridge, and if we fail, you think how many people will die here. ”
