At eight o'clock on the night of the 6th, all the pedestrians on the street had disappeared. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the darkness, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment quietly bypassed the town through the south gate and headed east.

The troops who stayed behind also silently blocked the passage out of the town.

Koval led his horse and walked briskly forward. By twelve o'clock in the evening, the troops had already covered a distance of twenty kilometers.

The army stopped and rested for more than ten minutes, and then began to march again.

Koval glanced at the moon in the sky, and the temperature in June was very pleasant.

Suddenly, there was a bit of confusion in the back.

"Keep it up!"

"Pull hard!"

Koval ran over to see that a carriage with a 105mm howitzer had sunk into a large pit, blocking the way for the troops behind, and a circle of soldiers circled around the sports car.

"Let's all work together to lift this wheel, one, two, three, up!"

"Throw rocks into it and fill it in."

"Okay, lead the horse forward in front, and we'll push in the back."

Koval and a dozen soldiers worked together to push the gun cart out of the pit.

"Oh, it's terrible to be in a hurry at night!" Ivanovsky clapped his hands and sighed.

"It's awful!" Koval chimed in.

"Sir, I didn't know you were here." Ivanovsky hurriedly explained: "I fully agree with your plan, I ・・・・・・"

"Don't be nervous, I know you mean nothing else." Koval waved his hand and said, "Are all the roads in Russia so bad?" ”

"It's like that all of Russia." Ivanovsky said: "If you have the rainy season, you will be in more trouble. You want to get rid of these heavy guys, but it's annoying that you can't do without them in battle. ”

"Okay, goodbye." Koval patted Ivan on the shoulder and said.

But this time it was delayed for ten minutes.

Koval finally realized the pain that the Germans had suffered in the mud of the Soviet Union.

At half past four on the morning of the 7th, Koval led his troops to finally reach three kilometers below the city of Utena.

"Stop and have breakfast." Koval ordered.

Koval took out the map of the attack plan and said solemnly to the three battalion commanders: "Now I will clarify your task for the last time, the first battalion will be the main attack, the second battalion will be in reserve, and the third battalion will feint on the flank. Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

"The task of the first battalion is the heaviest, it must resolutely rush in, the sooner the better, eat the meat first, then gnaw the bones, go straight into the enemy's interior, and must take out their headquarters and ammunition depot, two important targets. I have strengthened the guard platoon and the cavalry squad to you, do you have confidence? Koval looked at Locke and said solemnly.

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Locke said firmly.

"Jonsson, although you are a feint, you must be loud and attract the attention of the enemy."

"Yes, sir."

・・・・・・

"Okay, let's take a look at the table and start at five." Koval said calmly.

The army began to disperse.

In the northwest corner of Utena, Pavel led a few agile soldiers to quietly reach into the town.

The town of Utai continued to grow, and there were no walls on the periphery, but the houses were built in rows like walls, with only a few junctions on each side leading to the outside of the city.

Outside an intersection, two Soviets stood guard against the wall. Next to it, there was a light on the second floor.

Pavel made a gesture to another soldier, and the two men, moving lightly to move closer, suddenly burst out, covering the mouths of the enemy with one hand, and the bayonet in the right hand cut their necks.

The Soviet soldier grabbed Pavel's left hand with both hands, struggled vigorously, and felt the strength of his whole body suddenly disappear.

"Alright." Pavel thought to himself.

"Whoop・・・・・・" Suddenly a string of dogs barked.

"Oops!"

"Tony, stop screaming, I've got some more sleep. Peter, take care of your dog! A man on the second floor said lazily.

Pavel saw a black dog crouching in a corner, all black as a lump of coal, no wonder he hadn't noticed its existence before.

The situation was urgent, and Pavel beckoned not far from the rear, and the rest of the assault squad soldiers rushed over quickly. One by one, the soldiers pushed open the door next to them and rushed inside.

The dog barked more and more fiercely.

"Tony, what's going on? Peter? Peter? The soldiers above finally noticed that something was wrong, and there was a jumbled sound from above.

Locke led his troops more than a hundred meters away and waited for news from the front.

Hearing the shouting, Locke immediately ordered: "Can't wait, Pavel they were discovered, rush over quickly." ”

The sound of running suddenly sounded, mixed with the sound of various objects colliding on the soldier's body, converging into a beautiful symphony.

"Get up, get up! There is a case! The Soviet soldier shouted to the other soldiers in the room.

More than a dozen people panicked and put on their clothes and picked up their guns from the gun racks. The two men stood by the window and looked outside, the figure of the sentry was gone, and a black oppression was coming in the distance.

A soldier opened the door and prepared to go down to see what was going on.

A round creature came in through the crack underneath and rolled on the ground with a rattle.

"・・・・・・me," the other Soviet soldiers then looked at the thing clearly, and they cursed in their hearts, and their bodies fell in unison.

With a bang, Pavel led the soldiers to rush in, and fired at the soldiers who were dizzy by the explosion with a submachine gun. The entire room was in a pool of blood.

"Let's go, let's go to the next location."

With the sound of the grenade, Locke led his troops into the city. To the southwest of Utana, Jonson also led his troops in an attack.

The Polish army was overwhelmed, and after a little fighting it took three or four streets.

Awakened by the explosions, Petrov immediately put on a military uniform and commanded the officers to gather the army to organize the defense.

"Concentrate your troops at once and hold the center of the town first. Go and mobilize everyone! Petrov ordered loudly.

"We are the 1st Polish Infantry Division, you surrender quickly!"

"We are the 1st Lithuanian Infantry Division, young Lithuanians, we do not be puppets of the Russians."

In the distance, the slogans of the Polish army kept sounding.

"Sir, the Poles have two divisions?"

"The 1st Polish Infantry Division? 1st Lithuanian Infantry Division? Petrov was a little confused all of a sudden: "Impossible? How can there be so many people? ”

At this moment, 105mm howitzers began to fire at the center of the town.

One shell after another fell, killing and wounding the surrounding soldiers, and the dust that splattered fell on Petrov's head.

"Sir, this is large-caliber artillery, the Poles just don't have two divisions, and one division must have it. We're going to die here! An officer immediately urged.

Still hesitant, Petrov said, "Come with me to the front and see." ”

He ran to the top of a building with his officers and saw that the entire western part of the town was filled with the sound of Polish army gunfire and shouting, and in the darkness it seemed as if every street was occupied by Polish troops.

Cannonballs rained down on the center of town. (To be continued.) )
