Chapter 209: Fort Dina Fortress (1)
The Soviet commander frowned as he watched his troops being repulsed by the Polish troops inside. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As for the thirty or so corpses left behind, they were not put in his eyes.
"Hasn't our artillery arrived yet?" He couldn't help but urge.
A 76mm gun was transported to the street with the joint efforts of two horses and a dozen Soviet soldiers.
The Soviet artillery quickly adjusted the guns to firing form.
"Aim!"
"Launch!"
The Polish soldiers, who had just repelled the attack of the enemy troops, breathed a sigh of relief.
Some soldiers exclaimed: "The Soviets have brought up the artillery!" It's targeting us. ”
"Artillery?" The Polish captain said in surprise.
There was a loud bang, and a cannonball hit the wall of the house, making a huge hole.
Soviet soldiers shot into the hole, hitting several Polish soldiers who did not react.
There was another bang, and a shell entered the house right through the hole it had just come from, and exploded in the middle of the room, killing all the Polish soldiers in the room.
Soviet artillery shells hit the houses where the Polish soldiers were hidden, and room by room was destroyed.
"Get out of here!" The Polish captain shouted in desperation when he saw that the whole house was leaking.
The Polish soldiers rushed outside.
The Soviet soldiers outside had already prepared, rifles and machine guns aimed at every gap. The dense barrage of bullets knocked out all the Polish soldiers who rushed to the gap.
As soon as the trumpet sounded, Soviet soldiers rushed into the house under the cover of machine guns, and the Polish troops, who had suffered heavy casualties, put up their last resistance, and after a fight, the room quickly returned to dead silence.
The Soviet troops quickly left.
Koval looked at the wounded and corpses carried down from the front, inquired carefully, and understood the changes in the Soviet army.
"Sir, if you continue to fight like this, the losses of the troops are too great!" Koval couldn't help but say to Lieutenant Colonel Tadeush.
"We have advanced to a distance of just over a hundred meters from the fortress of Fort Dina. The fortress of Dina Fort is in front of us, and as long as we survive the last and most difficult times, victory will finally belong to Poland. Lieutenant Colonel Tadeush said.
"Sir, the Soviet army launched a surprise attack on one of the assault teams of the Fifth Regiment, and by the time the support troops rushed over, they were all gone." Baginsky reported with his head down.
"Sir, at the end of the strong crossbow, you can't wear Lu Mian. Today our troops have been fighting long enough and have occupied too many places, so we must stop and recuperate and rearrange the front, so as not to give the Soviets an opportunity. Koval persuaded.
Lieutenant Colonel Tadeusz also realized that the Soviet troops were not helpless, and after thinking quietly for a while, he said: "It's getting dark, okay!" The whole army stopped the offensive, put the defensive line in order, and must not be taken by surprise again at night. ”
"Yes, sir."
Koval stepped out of the headquarters and observed the headquarters of the Soviet troops, Fort Dina, at the front of the battlefield.
In 1656 the Russians began the war with the Swedes, and in the Battle of Riga between July and August, Tsar Alexei marched from Polotsk to the lower reaches of the Dvina River, captured the Dina Fort, killed all the defenders inside, and then captured the fortress of Kokenhu, thus officially opening the gate to Riga.
In February 1940, the German Army Headquarters issued the famous "Manstein Plan", which made important changes to the direction of attack and the deployment of troops on the Western Front of the German army. In 1941, the Germans launched a surprise attack on the Soviet Union, and the 56th Panzer Corps, which was at the forefront of Army Group North, quickly advanced 360 kilometers to the front, and their goal was to officially capture Dina Fort and take control of the Gava River bridge. Here Manstein held out for six days on the orders of his superiors, waiting for the friendly forces that were left far behind, and because of this, the suddenness of the war was completely lost.
Fort Dina is a battleground for soldiers.
Fort Dina is a long fortress, no more than 500 meters long and 300 meters wide, and its perimeter is a long strip of red brick houses, which can be used as a defensive wall or as a house for the troops. After hundreds of years of continuous repairs, Fort Dina has increased its defensive capabilities, especially its ability to resist artillery attacks.
Koval looked at the thick brick walls, having no doubt that they would be able to withstand the attack of 76mm guns, but he didn't know if the 150mm heavy guns would be able to destroy them.
In the evening, after the latest developments in the battle in the passage of General Shimigwe, all the officers were summoned.
"In the past few days, everyone has played well. Now it seems that in order to defeat the Soviet army from the side, it is necessary to first pull out the fortress of Fort Dina. Once the head of the Soviet forces had been eliminated, the numerous enemy forces in the city of Daugavpils were likely to retreat and flee. General Shimigvi said, "It is better than us fighting with them and turning the whole city into ruins." ”
