Parker came over and said, "Battalion commander, why don't you take us out of the city!" The enemy on the opposite side may not dare to attack. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Parker, you're a steady man, and I need to carry out this important task." Koval put the gun on his back, patted Parker on the shoulder, and said word by word: "Your troops are not allowed to go to the South City under any circumstances!" ”

"What?" Parker said in shock.

"We occupy the northern part of the city, and General Vilko occupies the southern part of the city, which is the tacit agreement we originally planned. Do you want their 4,000-strong troops to fight hard and watch our battalion of 500 men monopolize the big cake of occupying Vilnius? We can't afford to lose our friends because of that. So even if all the Soviet troops on the opposite side retreated and became an empty city, not a single person would be allowed to cross the Neris! Do you understand? Koval said solemnly.

"I understand, resolutely obey orders." Parker gave a military salute.

Troops continued to gather from various dormitories into the roads, and officers also ran in to ask for instructions.

Koval kept walking along the road, checking the situation of the troops.

"Sir, what's the big plan?" Ivanovsky approached in a brand-new Polish non-commissioned officer uniform and asked, and behind him, Zivak led several soldiers leading two horses with cannons and one with ammunition carts.

"There's a decisive battle this time, how many shells do we have left?" Koval asked, turning to look at Ivanovsky.

"It turned out that this mountain gun had a base number (100 rounds) of shells, and we consumed forty-five rounds in the first two battles, and there were fifty-five rounds left." Ivanovsky carefully reported: "There are three artillery pieces on the opposite side, there were originally 500 shells, and after the shelling from the front, there are probably more than 300 shells. ”

"There's a huge difference in firepower, but we let them fire first, and then take the opportunity to deal with their artillery, can you do it?" Koval asked rhetorically.

"No problem, sir, I'll do my best to complete the task." Ivanovsky gave a military salute.

Koval casually greeted Zivak and the other artillerymen who had been transferred.

The Soviet brigade commander led his troops to the front of General Vilko's position, and the artillery began to set up artillery positions three thousand meters from his position.

The time was 6:50, and the Soviet brigade commander looked at his watch and said: "Our troops this time have a main battalion of 900 people, an independent company of 300 people, and a supplementary battalion of 800 people, a total of 2,000 people. On the other side, we have a force of 2,000 men. Therefore, in this battle, we must completely annihilate the enemy in front of us. ”

"Sir, the enemy's position is in a diagonal line, blocking two roads to the southeast, one near the river to the east and the other on the hills to the southeast." An officer said, pointing to the map.

"We don't know what the offensive plan of the opposing friendly forces is, and from which point to start the tentative attack?" Another officer asked.

"There are only more than a thousand of them, what else do we have to worry about!" The commander of the Soviet brigade shouted: "We will first attack the enemy's positions in the southeast with the cooperation of artillery, drive the enemy to the river, surround them, and then destroy them.

The shelling began at seven o'clock sharp, and the main battalion began to attack. ”

The hour hand turned to the starting point, and with a bang, a shell fell next to the position of the Polish army, and then the Soviet artillery, after correcting the angle, fired another shell, and the shell landed accurately on the position, and the three mountain guns immediately sang together with joy.

"General, we found a large number of Soviet troops on both sides, at least two or three thousand people! They almost surrounded us. An officer walked over and said nervously reported.

"First draw 500 people from the troops in ambush in the woods and strengthen the two fulcrums in the north and south." General Vilko said.

With the sound of artillery, three companies of the main battalion of the Soviet army began to enter the attack position, one company attacked head-on, one company went around to the right to flank to the south, and one company pinned down the central position of the Polish army. The supplementary battalion repeatedly probed a kilometer in front of the Polish positions on the riverside.

The Polish army occupied a small steep slope with a relative height of more than 20 meters, and after two days of hard excavation, strong fortifications were built on the slope.

Three hundred Polish soldiers above the position hid behind the fortifications, endured the shelling of Soviet artillery, and despite the protection of the fortifications, still suffered a dozen casualties.

The Soviet troops continued to advance, several companies moved to attack positions, and the Soviet soldiers were scattered in a line formation, separated by five or six paces, and the soldiers in the skirmish line could move forward with a slight advance or back, and then suddenly accelerate forward.

Heavy machine guns rang out on the steep slope and fired directly at the attacking Soviet soldiers, but the Soviet troops were scattered in a skirmish formation, and the machine guns could only hit two or three people at a time, causing few casualties.

As soon as the Soviet troops on the periphery heard the sound of artillery, they immediately gave the order to go on the attack.

More than 2,000 Soviet soldiers marched south from the river, forming a long queue and quickly rushing towards the Polish positions.

"General, there are too many of them, they are densely packed with people, and the Soviet army exceeds three thousand people!" An officer shouted with a sad face.

"Cheer up, we didn't lose, what are we afraid of! The northern and southern fulcrums and the central positions are immediately ready to reinforce 500 people, and they must be firmly defended by me, and they must not be lost. The remaining 1,000 ambushmen took the initiative to attack the Soviet troops to the east. Give me an attack, and I can't squeeze the troops together. General Vilko yelled.

In his original plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements, it was to block the Soviet troops inside with positions, and then use ambushes to swallow the Soviet troops that came to support them outside.

But the current situation is that the Soviet troops inside are attacking too fiercely to be stopped, and the number of Soviet troops coming to support them from outside has exceeded their predictions, and they cannot swallow it at once. The opponent tried it for a moment and then attacked in an all-out way, which really hit the weakness of the combined force under him. This joint force has just been formed, has not been tested by the flames of war, and when it is at a disadvantage, it will lack cohesion and endurance, and it will easily collapse.

Seeing that the firepower of the Polish army was not strong, the Soviet battalion commander threw another company into the rear to continue the attack on the southeastern heights.

The situation on the whole battlefield is like a Taiji diagram, General Vilko's troops are in the middle, the Soviet troops inside are attacking the southeast heights, and the Soviet troops outside are attacking the riverside positions, constantly squeezing the positions of the Polish troops, once one place is lost, the morale of the Soviet troops will definitely explode, and the Polish troops will be demoralized, and they will be further squeezed into one place and become the target of the Soviet artillery.

At that time, the Soviet army only needs to firmly surround several positions of the Polish army on all sides, and then pull the artillery closer, and bombard one position after another, and the Polish army above can be bombarded into cannon fodder.

The situation was so critical that General Vilko took a look at the battlefield and shouted, "The cavalry company will attack with me." ”

PS: I saw that many book friends didn't know that it was written about World War II when they saw "Immortal Poland", so they wanted to change their name, and I felt that it was a bit secondary at first.

Changed to: What about the rise of Poland in 1918?
