Chapter 112: Mark Melgay

Early the next morning, the Polish army set out an hour early. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Koval walked out of the tent, and several soldiers picked up a stretcher to carry Koval up, but Koval immediately refused.

"No, I can go." Koval said.

After all, there must be Soviet scouts around now, and if they see that they need to be carried on stretchers, they may pounce on them.

Koval didn't want to engage in these pointless battles with them.

So, the severe pain on the body of the Koval ninja followed the troops forward to march.

"Alio, didn't you say that last night you saw the battalion commander lose weight and be seriously injured and carried into the tent? Why is the battalion commander still able to walk now, it's so normal? A soldier whispered to his comrade.

"You ask me, I ask who goes. But last night, I saw the company commander and platoon commander walking into the battalion commander's tent with a stretcher, and when they came out, their faces were solemn. That's weird! Ario said suspiciously.

"Don't talk nonsense, the platoon commander said, if anyone spreads rumors and disturbs the morale of the army, he will not be able to eat and walk around." Another soldier reminded.

"Well, I must have read it wrong, I didn't say anything, don't hurt me." Ario immediately confessed.

The Polish soldiers all heard that the battalion commander was injured in the attack last night, and when they heard that the injuries were very serious, they were terrified for a while, but now they were relieved to see Koval walking freely.

The Koval Ninja continued to move forward with his troops in pain, and when he had gone some distance, he found a rattan staff to lean on to relieve the pressure on his left leg. The first day really tortured him a lot, but fortunately he was born with a strong physique, and after another night, the wound gradually began to heal.

The troops had reached the vicinity of the town of Makmergay, and Koval sent scouts to carefully observe the situation of the Lithuanian government forces.

At this time, a large number of Lithuanian government troops gathered near Makmergay.

In a large house in the center of town, a dozen staff officers were going in and out with various papers, and there was a telegraph in the next room.

"Sir, all of our troops are almost complete." An officer picked up the report and handed it over.

"Our original plan was on the 17th, but now the Poles are rapidly advancing northeast to seize Lithuanian territory. We have to speed up. Today is the twelfth of May, and today at noon we will march to the east, and we must take the land occupied by the Soviets before the Poles. A middle-aged general said firmly.

"The Poles have invaded our land, and we will expose their ugly faces at the Paris Peace Conference." A young officer said angrily.

"Britain and France now need to win over the Poles against Soviet Russia, and they will not turn their faces with the Poles." The general said in a heavy tone: "Let's take the rest of the territory first and then discuss this matter." Let me tell you about our current situation. ”

"The 10,000 soldiers we have now called up have been trained for a month and are ready to take on combat missions. At present, our army is divided into two fronts, the northern front is going up the Neavizhs River, with the town of Cadeniai as a base of advance, attacking the city of Panevez. The troops of the Southern Front, using Makmergay as a base for their advance, went up the Shviyantoy River. There was also a German Volunteer Brigade of South Lithuania and Saxony, with nearly 10,000 people to assist us in the battle.

At present, our army has assembled 5,000 soldiers on the southern front, and the 19th and 20th regiments of the German Freikorps assist us.

In the area before me along the river to the east, there were tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers, but they were scattered among the towns and villages, untrained and less combative. An officer said, pointing to a map.

"The present international situation is more favorable to us, the Soviet troops are dealing with White Russia in the east near the Ural Mountains, and there is no time to take care of the Lithuanian regions, and as soon as we recover the territory of Lithuania, Britain and France will support our sovereignty over these lands internationally. They have already said that they will mediate our dispute with Poland, and Poland will not take the initiative to go to war against our army. The general said.

"We have transferred this elite German support force in this operation, and we will definitely be able to win without fail." An officer said.

"Well, we can't just rely on the Germans to fight the war, after all, they are only here to help us, and we still have to rely on our own troops to fight. However, our Lithuanian population is only about 1 million in total, and the trained army is only about 10,000 people, so you must control the casualties and not damage the foundation of our country. The middle-aged general hesitated for a moment and said.

"There is also information that a battalion of the 11th Infantry Division of the Polish Army, mentioned earlier, disappeared with the Soviet troops in the vicinity after capturing Pabrad to the east, and it is impossible to find their movements." An officer pulled out a report and said.

"Let people take a closer look. Leave it alone for the time being, what's the use of such a little person? Let's talk about logistics and supplies. The middle-aged general said.

"Since the capture of Makmergey by our troops, we have stored a large amount of military supplies in advance in Makmerge. The supplies of the southern front were sent directly to Kaunas along the river, then upstream to Makmergay for storage, and then upward to the front line of the battlefield, and our army used both water and land transportation. An officer reported.

"This is a good method, but Mark Melgey has stored the food, ammunition and other materials needed by the army, and the garrison must be strengthened to prevent the onslaught of those Soviet mobs." The middle-aged general instructed.

"We have 1,500 defenders here, and 1,000 improvised militiamen to help carry the goods, and no one can easily take this place." The officer said confidently.

"So I'm relieved and ready to go!" The middle-aged general put on his cloak and walked outside.

It was in the middle of the Polish military camp at this time.

"Battalion commander, this time we almost stabbed the hornet's nest, we found a large number of enemy troops near Mark Melgay, there are tens of thousands of people!" Kanas ran over and said.

"You've worked hard all night, tell you about the specific situation." Koval said.

"When we arrived at the outskirts of Makmergay in the middle of last night, we saw that the roads near the whole town were lined with military camps, thousands of kilometers long. My friend has a lot of heavy weapons and equipment, and I found no less than twenty guns larger than our guns, with thicker muzzles and longer barrels. There were also many weapons covered with various tarpaulins. Dozens of boats are also parked on the river near the town.

On top of that, we also found Germans there. We didn't know it at first, but when several groups of patrols passed by in our neighborhood, they were all talking in German. We found out that all the people in the barracks were German. Their barracks were much more fortified than the Lithuanian army next to them. There were also quite a few trees for these German servicemen, at least more than three thousand people.

After we found out, we secretly estimated the number of enemies. However, the enemy's defenses are very tight, and I am afraid that I will be alarmed and ruin your deployment, so I have to rush back to report. Kanas said in one breath.

"You did a very good job, and the intelligence you brought was very useful to us." Koval praised: "This enemy is not something that our current forces can touch, we have to hide for the time being, so that they cannot be discovered." ”

"How can there be so many Germans in the Lithuanian government army?" An officer asked, puzzled.

"Lithuania is next to the German region of East Prussia, and they will surely be able to prop up a regime close to them. After their recent defeat, there are a large number of veterans, and naturally there will be no shortage of troops. Koval guessed.

"Where do they want to attack with so many troops?" An officer asked.

"I think their target is up the river," Koval said, pointing to the map, "and the following should be solved by the Soviet troops behind us." ”

"With the Germans involved, the battle below is a bit difficult to fight!" A soldier sighed.

During World War I, the Germans had beaten Tsarist Russia on the Eastern Front to the brink of collapse, leaving a deep impression on the Poles.

"Don't worry, the Germans don't have to die for the Lithuanians. I'll write a letter to report on what is going on here, and I hope that the top brass of the army will deal with the problems of the German army. Koval said.
