Chapter 80: Confrontation in the Hall
Without hesitation, Kanas said, "I'll beat him all over the ground looking for teeth!"
"That's what the whole division wants to do. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Koval smiled helplessly at Canas.
Majewski leaned over and said, "But sir, we attacked on the 19th, and they haven't come over on the 29th, so how can we wait until they attack again?" ”
"We can only pray that the big man on our head will think like this." Koval smiled wryly.
The three of Koval hurried and finally arrived at Lentvaris at seven o'clock in the evening. The whole of Lentwaris was covered with tents of the Polish army, and everywhere groups of soldiers gathered around the campfire and chatted.
"Stop! Which army are you from? ”
When I arrived at the intersection fifty meters in front of the barracks, I finally came across a sentry. They shouted at the three Koval who were coming on horseback.
"I am Victor Francis Corval, the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 11th Infantry Division, and they are my guards." Koval said calmly as he pulled out his military ID card from his pocket and handed it over.
"You are the commander of the Koval battalion who took Vilnius with a battalion!" A young sentry looked at the officer ID carefully, lowered his head and said.
He glanced at Koval at the photo on his ID card and said, "That's right, you can go in." Is there anything you can do when you come back so late? ”
"We're here to find the division commander and our regimental commander Demps, do you know where they went?" Koval pulled out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to everyone, and asked casually.
The young sentry put the cigarette to his nose and sniffed it, pointed into the distance and said, "The chiefs are all in the city of Lentvaris, and I heard that the governors have not been in a good mood lately, so you should be careful." ”
Koval gave him a look, and Kanas leaned over and said, "Come, brother, I'll light your cigarette." ”
The young sentry refused: "No, no, I still want to keep such a good thing to smoke?" ”
Canas quietly slipped a pack of cigarettes over, and the young sentry immediately blocked the gaze behind him with his body and stuffed the cigarette into his arms.
"Brother, why are the chiefs in a bad mood lately, can you give me some advice?"
The sentry whispered: "It's not you who make trouble, your second battalion eats meat, and these our commanders eat porridge in the back!" I can't say much else. After speaking, he patted Kanas on the shoulder and said loudly, "This smoke is really good, goodbye." ”
The three of Koval rode to the city, and Kanas whispered the news to Koval.
"Sir, are we still going over?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as we make things clear, no matter what their attitude is, our things will be easy to handle in the future." Koval said firmly.
Koval rode his horse slowly, passing the colorful tents where the soldiers lived, with the occasional patrol patrolling the perimeter. But apart from this, there was not the slightest fortification or obstacle arranged.
If a cavalry regiment came to attack at night, maybe it would be able to completely defeat this force, Koval thought to himself.
Although the cavalry units lost their previous advantages in frontal battles after the appearance of machine guns, the cavalry units were still very powerful in surprise battles, and the infantry units were still unable to withstand the onslaught of the cavalry before forming a formation.
The town was in darkness, and Koval followed the road to the center of the city, where the guards at the gate immediately stopped him.
"I am the battalion commander of the second battalion of the third regiment." Koval said as he handed over his military ID.
The guards took it and immediately let Koval in, while Kanas and Majewski waited around.
Koval pushed open the door and walked in to see that it was brightly lit, and dozens of oil lamps illuminated the entire hall very brightly. A blazing bonfire lit in the middle of the hall, and Koval suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and took off his military coat and hung it on the shelf next to him. A dozen tables are arranged in a circle around a campfire, filled with canned food, beef, beer, cakes and other precious foods.
When the officers in the hall heard the voice, they all looked at Koval at once, and the hall fell silent all at once, and everyone's expressions were full of surprise, anger, jealousy, hostility, admiration, and so on.
"Sir, I'm Victor Francis Koval, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 11th Infantry Division, please instruct!" Koval shouted as he saluted a middle-aged general above the hall.
"Eleventh Infantry Division, Third Regiment, Second Battalion Commander, Koval, isn't this the hero who led his troops alone and a group of militia to regain Vilnius?" The middle-aged general raised his glass and said slowly and loudly: "Come, come, come, let's all toast our great heroes of Poland!" ”
The hall came alive at once, and all the officers raised their glasses and drank calmly, without cheers.
Koval rode for an hour on his horse, and had not eaten dinner, and when he saw that the table was full of food, he walked over and picked up a piece of beef with a fork and swallowed it in a few bites. Koval picked up a bottle of beer, spun around, and motioned to the officers around him: "May our great Poland be stronger, and may our Polish Army be invincible!" ”
After saying that, he drank all the beers in one go.
Most of the officers also cheered: "Polish Army, invincible!" "Drank the beer.
Khoval's immediate boss, Demps, stood up and said to Koval menacingly: "Koval, why didn't you contact the regimental headquarters and division headquarters when you attacked Vilnius, but instead obeyed a militia unit that we have never heard of, are we not as good as a militia unit?" ”
Koval rolled his eyes and said solemnly: "Report to the chief, I have been trying to contact the troops in the rear, but because we are new to Lithuania, we are not familiar with the terrain in this area, and we have not been able to find the main force.
After I captured the northern city of Vilnius on the 19th, a group was waiting for the arrival of friendly troops, but we waited for two days before enemy reinforcements arrived, and our army was forced to fight a decisive battle. ”
"If it weren't for you, how could the Soviet army send reinforcements so quickly?" Demps shouted angrily, and after saying that, he gulped down another beer, but accidentally choked on himself, and the beer spilled all over his beard.
Koval took a leisurely sip of his beer, unconcerned about Demps's accusations, for the victor was not to blame.
