Chapter 153: Rectification

On 27 May, Koval received a message from General Shimigvi, and received orders to lead his troops on a further eastward advance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Koval led his troops on a slow march to the vicinity of Anikšciai, which had been occupied by Lithuanian troops and later recaptured by Soviet troops.

"Commander, there are no Soviet troops in the town ahead." Kanas came to report.

"It's a bit strange, send someone in to take a closer look and tell everyone to be careful." Koval reminded.

Nearly 10,000 Soviet troops had already been foreseen, and Koval did not dare to take it lightly and fell into an ambush by the enemy.

Soon, the soldiers who had reconnoitred in front returned and reported that there was no trace of the enemy in the town.

Koval walked outside the city to see that this beautiful riverside town had been reduced to rubble. The outer walls were blown up by shells and collapsed in large parts, and there were gaps several meters wide everywhere. Many of the buildings in the city were also destroyed by artillery fire, and the top of the church tower was cut off.

Koval entered the town with a small troop, and the streets were covered with rubble and tiles, which creaked on them. A few mud-covered children stood on the edge of the rubble and stared timidly at Koval's group, and from time to time a woman quickly carried them back from inside and gently closed the door.

The whole town was deserted, a far cry from the scene when Koval entered Vilnius and warmly welcomed him.

"This town is finished." Majewski muttered softly beside him, "It may take ten years to get back to the way it used to be." ”

Koval looked around as he walked. Some of the brave men stood directly in the courtyard and watched the Polish troops, most of them hiding behind the windows, showing their blank eyes.

There were also some men wearing single clothes and masks, slowly clearing the rubble, and several people carried a corpse outside, and saw Koval and others hurriedly avoiding it.

Koval asked, "Where are you going to send these corpses?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to send them out of the city and bury them." Several people looked at each other, and a middle-aged man stood up and said.

"There are a lot of ruins in this city, are you in a hurry?" Koval asked amicably.

"It's true that there aren't enough people, but when the people around me come back in a few days, it should be much better."

Koval looked at the order and said, "Jacob, you have the troops of the third battalion help them clear the streets, remember that everyone has to wear a mask." ”

"Sir, this kind of thing is not in our business. Moreover, the corpses buried in the ruins are a little stinky, what can I do if I get infected with a disease? Jacob said with a comfortable expression.

"It's an order, do you understand?" Koval frowned and said solemnly to Jacob.

"Yes, sir, I will carry out my orders." Jacob replied with a salute.

"Go ahead." Koval said calmly.

Soon, Jacob returned with a mission.

Koval followed the townsfolk out of town.

They transported the bodies in wagons and carts to the edge of the woods, a kilometre west of the town, and threw them directly into a hollow.

Standing on the undulating hillside in the distance, Koval saw dozens of corpses piled up in the hollow, from ordinary townspeople to Lithuanian government troops and Soviet soldiers. They were all haphazardly piled up in the pit together.

The officers around them all watched the scene in silence, perhaps thinking that they would end up like this.

"It's ・・・・・・, it's really no honor!" Parker said in disgust.

"It's so miserable, I'd rather die on the battlefield than be buried like this." Alex was indignant.

Koval covered his mouth and nose and said, "They are our enemies, but their heroic fighting and sacrifice are worth emulating, and we should give them a warrior's funeral."
