"Oh ・・・・・・," said old Mochi, "I saved your life, and you have to question me." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf it weren't for the fact that you're usually good, I wouldn't have pulled you. I'm a spy for the Poles, are all the spies who came in with us? ”

"No, they were just a fluke, you knew ・・・・・・ you knew there was going to be an explosion!" The young Soviet soldier wondered, "How do you know?" ”

"Alright! Let's hurry up, it's not very safe here. Old Mochi said, walking towards the interior of Fort Dina.

The young soldier immediately chased after him: "Hey, you haven't told me how you expected it?" ”

"It's just a little bit of survival experience for a veteran on the battlefield." Old Mochi said blandly.

"What?"

"Never gather together on the battlefield, artillerymen like such targets, just like exploding fish in a fish pond, bombs always fall where there are many fish." Old Mochi carefully explained: "All I want to hide with you in the bomb crater next to me."

Because it's unlikely that the shell will blow up in the same crater again (less than 1 in 10,000!). Different times, different time differences, temperatures, demeanor, recoil and other factors. The ammunition propulsion factor of the shell itself is also taken into account. If it turns out in practice, it takes a million shells to hit 7. The crater from the previous bomb often became the best hiding place for veterans. Because the probability of being hit by a shell outside and inside the crater is the same, and the shell generally does not hit the opponent head-on, it is generally damaged by explosive fragments, considering that the crater can defend against stray bullets and shrapnel, so it is relatively safe.

I estimated the frequency of the Polish cannons. When a 150mm shell falls, they need time to reload and fire, and it takes about 40 seconds to a minute for the second shell to fall. Moreover, in the current situation on the battlefield, they have a limited number of artillery pieces and too many targets, so they will not let two guns attack the same target, which is just a waste of firepower. So we just have to wait until a shell falls and have almost a minute of safe time to act. ”

The young Soviet soldier thought as he walked, and asked slowly: "Then why don't you stop them?" Just watch them die under the shells of the Poles! ”

"Haha!" Old Mochi smiled and said, "I am only a soldier, not a commander, and I have no responsibility or authority to order them to follow my advice. As you saw just now, so many people are crazily huddled together, and it's not something that a small soldier like us can handle. I'm not the only one who sees this, you see the guys who ran in with us, don't they know? ”

"But, but we're just going to watch them die in vain?" The young soldier asked, confused.

"You're still too young!" Old Mochi said heavily: "When you mix for a long time, you won't have this kind of feeling." ”

The two men found a sturdy house and lay down in the corner.

After this round of shelling, the crowd at the various gaps was empty, and the Soviet soldiers behind took the opportunity to quickly rush into the Dina Fort.

The heavy artillery of the Poles was still bombarded.

After more than ten minutes, the shelling stopped. Daugavpils' reinforcements were also withdrawn.

Commander Cronin sat at his desk and listened to the report solemnly.

"Report to the commander, the six battalions of our army that attacked were greatly damaged by the heavy artillery of the Poles, and only four thousand people returned, of whom nearly two thousand were wounded." Said the deep report of the Soviet officer.

"Hey, I didn't expect the heavy artillery of the Poles to react so quickly and kill and wound more than 3,000 of our troops at once." Division Commander Cronin said with great regret: "What about the Polish casualties? ”

"According to estimates, the two infantry regiments of the Polish 3rd Infantry Division were killed and wounded today, and 1,500 people should have died, and 2,000 were wounded."

"Hey! In the end, it turned out to be a tie! Division Commander Cronin patted the table and sighed: "Everything depends on the night attack tonight, you go and inform the various troops to get ready, and order the troops in the city of Daugavpils to be dispatched in time." ”

"Yes, sir."

On the position of the 3rd Infantry Division, Polish soldiers carried the wounded on stretchers and transported them backwards, and some soldiers supported each other and walked slowly backwards, and there was no trace of joy of victory on the position.

General Shimigvi stood on top of the position, looking at the wounded back and forth, his face very solemn.

"This is thanks to the timely arrival of the 1st Tank Regiment led by Captain Jean Dufort, otherwise our position would have been in danger." Biroski sighed.

"Hey, I didn't expect the Soviet troops to be so tenacious and able to push back, so I suffered such a big loss." General Shimigvi said heavily: "How is the 1st Infantry Division? ”

"Report to the sir, the Soviet troops of Daugavpils have retreated on their own initiative." Lieutenant Colonel Tadeusz said respectfully: "The most fearful thing now is that the enemy will launch a surprise attack at night. At that time, it will be difficult for us to give full play to our firepower superiority. ”

"Today we are planted, but the Soviet troops in Fort Dina are not having a good time, the last artillery bombardment will destroy at least one or two thousand of them, and they will have to defend the castle, I think they should not have any extra troops to attack us." Lieutenant Colonel Valadislau muttered.

"This kind of thing must be guarded against!" Lieutenant Colonel Tadeusz said meaningfully: "Although we do not suffer in terms of troops, today this group of boys has lost all their courage. ”

One by one, the officers of the 3rd Infantry Division stared at Lieutenant Colonel Tadeush with wide eyes.

General Shimigvi was silent for a while, and then said: "The section of the trench leading to Fort Dina near the position of our troops has been filled. ”

"Sir?" Lieutenant Colonel Anthony pleaded, and there seemed to be a hint of cowardice in this behavior.

"Do as I say, and the units will settle the wounded and do a good job of defense; Tank units were ambushed behind the positions to provide timely support; The 3rd Light Artillery Regiment retreated to a point five kilometers behind the position and aimed at a point three hundred meters in front of the positions of our troops. "General Shimigvi has arranged carefully.

"Yes, sir."

Lieutenant Colonel Tadeusz replied to the positions of the 1st Division and briefed the officers on the situation.

"It looks like the 3rd Infantry Division has suffered a big loss!" Lieutenant Colonel Baginsky said as he smoked a cigarette.

"It's good that the tank troops blocked the Soviet troops for them, otherwise they would have been finished today." Lieutenant Colonel Tadeush said calmly.
