Chapter 215: Fort Dina Fortress (7)
"If we insist on taking this fortress, we have to pay a very high price, very high. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Koval said softly: "The heavy artillery detachment composed of eight heavy guns, half a light artillery regiment, plus four or five thousand infantry casualties. If the Soviet army had been well commanded and had mobilized the troops in the city of Daugavpils to the rescue, the price we would have paid would have increased by half. β
"Oh my God! If this battle continues, the 1st Infantry Division and the 3rd Infantry Division will not suffer tens of thousands of casualties. Jacob said in surprise: "Not to mention the heavy artillery detachment and artillery regiment, these are the heavy firepower that Poland has managed to accumulate, without them, the 1st and 3rd Infantry Divisions would be no different from the troops formed later." General Himigvi would never agree to this crazy idea! Koval, you'd better not go and say such a thought. If you do, they'll hate you for pushing them to hell! β
"I understand! Thank you! Koval said with a wry smile.
Koval turned to see Daugavpils, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he caught a trace of the broken enemy. Immediately waved his hand to silence everyone, and looked at Daugavpils blankly.
The officers around him all looked at Koval in surprise, not daring to speak loudly to disturb him.
"I thought of it! I've got it! Koval said in surprise.
"Sir, what do you think of?" The surrounding officers asked curiously.
Locke asked in surprise, "Sir, have you thought of a way to break through the fortress of Fort Dina?" β
Koval nodded confidently.
"What's the solution?" Parker asked immediately.
Koval mysteriously pointed at Daugavpils and said, "I also came up with this idea when I turned around and saw Daugavpils just now!" β
"Daugavpils? Didn't we decide to take Fort Dina first? Jacob said suspiciously: "We suffered heavy losses under the city of Daugavpils a few days ago, although Daugavpils is not as strong as Fort Dina, but there are too many Soviet troops and collaborators in it. Are we going to get General Shimigwe to agree to go back and attack Daugavpils first? β
"General Himigvi won't agree." Locke said softly.
Koval smiled and said, "Fort Dina is small and strong, and Daugavpils is big and many. I thought of a strange move, which was originally intended to deal with Dina Castle, but it had no effect on Dina Castle, but Daugavpils was large and numerous, so there was a scattered disadvantage, which was just right for me to make a surprise move. β
"What's the trick?" Parker asked impatiently.
"If you say it, it won't work." "You'll know when we act," Koval said. β
The officers walked away.
"Mayevsky, do we still have the captured Soviet uniforms?" Koval asked.
"How many more are there?"
"Okay, there are still some things, you go and get readyγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Koval carefully ordered.
"Yes, sir."
Forty pieces of Polish artillery shelled Dina Fort repeatedly for more than an hour, firing thousands of shells, and the barrels were red. There were more and more cracks in the faΓ§ade of Fort Dina, and seven or eight gaps appeared.
General Himigvi was about to order his troops to charge once, but the sun was about to set, so he had no choice but to give up.
As it grew dark, General Shimigvi summoned his officers to study the siege plan.
"How was the battle of the 3rd Infantry Division today?" Lieutenant Colonel Baginski asked.
"Today the artillery unit has opened seven or eight gaps in the outer wall of Fort Dina, and if it charges once, it may be able to take it down!" Not to be outdone, Lieutenant Colonel Varadislaw said.
"Some people today finally know how powerful the Soviet troops are, and this is the same kind of partisans that they used to deal with only harassing and so on." Lieutenant Colonel Engel said.
"Humph!" Lieutenant Colonel Varadislau let out a disdainful sigh.
Koval stopped talking, looked at the officers around him, and finally closed his mouth.
"If we insist on taking this fortress, we have to pay a very high price, very high." Koval said softly: "The heavy artillery detachment composed of eight heavy guns, half a light artillery regiment, plus the casualties of four or five thousand infantry.
