The next morning the army set out and continued on its march for another day, finally reaching the small town of Varenna. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

From a distance, the roof of a building in the town is covered with a red and white Polish flag.

"The guards go inside the city!" Koval gave the order. It shouldn't be an ambush, he muttered to himself.

The army waited outside the city for a while.

"Report to the sir, everything is normal in the city. The town had been completely occupied by the local Polish militia. "The guard came running with a soldier in a Tsarist military uniform with a strip of red and white cloth sewn on his shoulder.

"Report to the chief, the captain of our Self-Defense Forces knows that the army is coming, and he is asking someone to arrange food and lodging, and ask the commander to enter the city."

"Good. Go into town and have a look. "Koval was also happy to see that someone had arranged this.

"Cheer up! Raise the flag! ”

"Musicians, sing the national anthem."

"All of them are all points, and they have lost face in our second battalion." The officers below were commanding.

Koval walked in the middle of the procession, looking at the crowds on both sides of the road, listening to the cheers around him, and there was a feeling that the king had recovered his homeland and the people were eating pot pulp.

Arrange for the team to live on the campus of the middle school, anyway, now that the war is raging, the students are either going home or participating in the revolution, and there is no one in the school for a long time.

After carefully arranging the guards, Koval went to the banquet with a squad of assault squads. Now you are not familiar with the place here, so you should be careful. In such a small environment as a small town, sixteen submachine guns can exert the firepower of hundreds of single-shot rifles. No matter what the situation, Koval is able to come and go as he pleases.

A middle-aged man wearing a gray-green military coat walked over quickly and shook hands with Kovar: "I am Andrei, the captain of the Varenna Self-Defense Force, we are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally you are looking forward to us Koval battalion commander." ”

"Hello." Koval replied with a faint smile.

When the two sides were seated, Andrei took out a few bottles of vodka and put them on the table, poured a glass for one of us, and said: "We don't have anything good in this small place, but this vodka is strong enough, come!" I salute all the warriors from Poland. ”

Koval was also speechless, and wanted to ask about the specific situation here, but who knew that he would come to drink directly. The Poles on the other side of Warsaw didn't have such a good drink, and the further east they went, the more drunkards they met. This Andrey, judging by his habits, is he simply Russian! Koval muttered silently in his heart.

"Come on. Done! Koval threw his head back and took a toast. A raging flame ignited in his abdomen, dispelling the cold all over his body, as if he was holding a large stove.

"Camp Commander Koval is just happy! Here's another toast! Andrei continued to greet.

Koval pressed down on his glass and said, "Eat something first, we're all hungry." ”

If you continue to drink like this, when you get drunk, who should I ask for information around here? Koval muttered.

"Captain Andrey, we came here from Warsaw and are not familiar with the situation in this area. You're the boss here, can you tell us about what's going on around you? ”

"Just ask! I must know everything, I must know everything. Andrei said happily.

"What forces are around? What about their strength? ”

"A few days ago, a small Red Russian army came in and posted big-character posters everywhere, propagating what kind of Soviets we wanted to build, and we beat them away. We killed seven or eight men, and the others rode away, but we seized four or five good guns. Andre said, picking up the Mosin Nagant rifle next to him and showing it to Koval.

"Awesome, very awesome." Koval complimented.

"As for the rest? The White Guards were no longer visible, they either ran away, or they took refuge in Red Russia with guns. The rest were the Lithuanian volunteers, who generally operated in the north. Now that the Red Russians occupy Vilnius, our General Voladislav Videko, having gathered nearby volunteers, is preparing to attack Vilnius and regain this great city for Poland. ”

"Attack Vilnius?" Koval was shocked. Without a regular army, would it be possible to take a big city in Vilnius with these volunteers gathered everywhere?

"How many men have you prepared to attack Vilnius? Is that a big, big city? Koval asked.

"I don't know, there should be thousands of people! It could be more than two thousand, or it could be five thousand. Every village, every small town had a team running to support General Voladislav Vigeko, who could count them? Andrei toasted and said, "There are 400 boys in our town, and we are going to send 250 men together to support General Voladislav Videko. ”

"250 people, it seems that this General Voladislav Videko can really gather a few thousand, he has such courage, he should have a great chance to take Vilnius." Koval thought to himself: "But if Vilnius is taken by him alone, where will I find the credit?" ”

The largest city in the Lithuanian region is Vilnius, which is the political, economic and cultural center of Lithuania, and about two-thirds of Lithuania's industry is concentrated near Vilnius. It can be said that taking Vilnius is equivalent to accounting for a third of Lithuania.

Moreover, Vilnius is located near the Lithuanian border, close to the Belarusian region, which is convenient for capture. Another city, Kaunas, is in the heart of Lithuania, and it is impossible to take it with a small number of people of his own. And Kaunas is now in the hands of the Lithuanian government army, and now Poland has not yet started a war with them, and there is no reason for it to do it himself.

It must be rushed, and this opportunity must not be passed up. If you join this offensive with troops, they are volunteers and militia, and I am a regular army here, and I may be able to share half of the battle achievements. Moreover, this time there is no superior command, and the credit is all mine, and no one can grab it. When Koval thought of this, the blood in his whole body was already boiling.

"Andrey, when are you leaving?" Koval asked.

"Today on the 14th, we agreed to meet on the 18th, launch an attack on the 19th, and we will set off in the afternoon." Andrei replied cheerfully.

"There is a war, what kind of wine are you drinking here. Let's go, let's go now. "Koval couldn't sit still.

"Don't be in such a hurry!" Andrei wondered.

"It's better to rush over early, we still have equipment in the team, and it's full. If we go late and have already been beaten by others, then aren't we going to be laughed to death by others? Koval rushed.
