"General, General Zukauskas would like to ask you to go over and discuss the battle plan for tomorrow!" A liaison officer ran over and said.

"You just say that I'm busy taking care of the wounded, and let the staff officers take care of the battle plan!" General Goltz directly refused.

Inside the city, another wave of coalition attacks was repulsed, and the morale of the Soviet army was greatly boosted, but the hidden trump cards were exhausted. Artillery units armed with 77mm field guns were also destroyed by German artillery in the afternoon.

"Sir, the Lithuanians have fled, and are we going to rush to repair the fortifications of the city wall overnight?" An officer came to ask for instructions.

"No, we have lost our artillery power, and it is no longer appropriate to continue to hold the walls. The same strategy cannot be used twice.

Concentrate on strengthening the fortifications of the city, seal off all the streets where the enemy troops enter, and plant explosives on the streets where the enemy may attack. Except for the escape routes, all the doors and windows of the houses held by our army must be sealed with wood and stone.

We want to make every house a strong fortress. Let the Lithuanians shed their blood under these fortresses. ”

General Zukauskas, hearing that General Goltz was busy dealing with the wounded, did not come, so he had to ask the officers below and the staff of the German army to plan the next day's battle.

As soon as dawn came, the Lithuanian army entered the siege positions and prepared to attack.

General Zukauskas looked at the quiet German barracks next to him, and asked the German liaison officer suspiciously: "Why hasn't your army entered the position yet?" We're about to go on the offensive. ”

The liaison officer said calmly: "Russia, general, I'm very sorry! Because the losses of our army yesterday were too great, it was necessary to temporarily repair for a day. ”

"Are you kidding me? Take a day off? In such an emergency, you have to repair for the day? General Zukauskas asked aloud with wide eyes.

"General, this is our chief's decision, I am only responsible for reporting the liaison, and this is the case." The German liaison officer said expressionlessly.

"You're crazy! I'm going to go to General Goltz and ask for clarification! General Zukauskas said angrily, turned around and walked towards the German camp.

"General Goltz, why hasn't your army set off yet?" General Zukauskas asked angrily.

"In yesterday afternoon's battle, we lost too many soldiers, the morale of the soldiers was low and they needed to be repaired." General Goltz said coldly.

"Yesterday afternoon, our army lost five hundred people!" General Zukauskas said angrily.

"My army lost more than seven hundred men. Moreover, it was your army that turned away from your comrades, and it was our army that covered your group of cowards to escape. General Goltz roared: "Our soldiers have been mercilessly betrayed by you. They can't trust your troops, so we refuse to continue fighting with you. ”

The surrounding German officers all looked at the Lithuanian officers with disgust.

It's a lie! That's definitely not the case! General Zukauskas argued.

But all the Lithuanian officers around him were ashamed.

"You're hiding this kind of thing from me!" General Zukauskas looked at the officers beside him and said angrily.

A Lithuanian officer explained: "General, we reported to you yesterday. The battle was unfavorable, the rear team became the front team, our troops retreated first, and the German troops withdrew later. ”

General Zukauskas said angrily: "****! ”

After scolding his subordinates, Officer Zukauskas turned back to General Goltz and said sincerely: "General, I understand that yesterday's situation was very inappropriate for our army. I apologize deeply. But this has already happened.

We also need to open the road ahead together, time is very precious, and the Soviet assistant units behind may pursue us at any time. At this critical juncture, we can only overcome difficulties and tide over them if we work together. ”

"General Zukauskas, this is not my decision alone, it is the common idea of our whole army." General Goltz said coldly: "Our troops will not fight with a unit without honor. ”

"General, now we are all in the same boat. What do you want? General Zukauskas asked in surprise. He had expected Goltz to take care of the bigger picture, but Goltz's answer surprised him.

"Only with blood and merit can my army accept to fight with you. If you can attack the center of town today, we will fight together and capture Mark Melgay. General Goltz said calmly.

"What if we can't?"

"If you don't advance to the center of town today, we don't need to help a bunch of incompetent and cowardly people." General Goltz replied coldly.

"Are you crazy? The Soviet troops are coming, and you can't run away. General Zukauskas shouted.

"General, your time is running out, and the main forces of the Soviets will be able to get here in a day and a half. Of course, I'm not letting your troops die in vain. We've got a lot of weapons for you to use in street fighting, and some of our remaining ammunition can be handed over to you. General Goltz said boldly.

Maybe you just want my soldiers to die, General Zukauskas thought to himself. However, the people had to bow their heads under the roof, and the Germans were needed to capture Mark Melgey, and General Zukauskas asked: "What weapon?" ”

A German officer came up with an MP-18 submachine gun and said, "This is the MP-18 submachine gun that our army is equipped with, and it is used with a 32-round spiral drum." With a rate of fire of up to hundreds of rounds per minute at a static distance, it is a powerful weapon in street fighting. Our army can allocate fifteen submachine guns to give to you. ”

General Zukauskas looked at Gortz's silent expression and had no choice but to get his officers to accept the weapons and ammunition presented by General Gortz.

The group returned to the siege position with their weapons, and an officer said: "Sir, the Germans clearly told us to die!" ”

General Zukauskas said: "If it was not you who led the army to abandon the Germans, how could they give up cooperation with us?" Now that all the enemy's weapons in the city have been used, we are still twice as many as the enemy, and as long as we fight hard, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy.

The Germans did not completely abandon us either, you give these weapons to the various squads of the charge, and each squad is issued a submachine gun.

I don't want to hear the casualty figures, I'm going to attack the center of town tonight. ”

"Yes, sir."
