The artillery of the Lithuanian army continued to fire at the area of the east gate, and the heat from the explosion ignited the houses next to it. The gunfire of the entire east gate www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" seemed to be heard at once, leaving only the sound of shells exploding.

Covered by heavy artillery fire from the Lithuanian army, the infantry battalion that the Soviets stormed the eastern gate suffered heavy losses. A large number of Soviet soldiers had just stormed the east gate, huddled in the area near the gate and entangled with the Lithuanian soldiers, trying to storm inside. It was blown to pieces by this sudden heavy artillery fire.

"Commander, one of our battalions is almost finished! The Lithuanians are just too ruthless. An officer ran up to Ivan and cried.

Ivan looked at the east gate in the distance covered by artillery fire, his eyes were red, and he immediately ordered: "Shoot another one and go up and entangle the enemy at the east gate." Don't rush inside, as long as you attract the fire from the other side. ”

Another company of Soviet soldiers rushed forward and learned the lesson just now, and the Soviet soldiers dispersed, using the obstacles to fire at the Lithuanian soldiers.

As an important transport transit point for the Lithuanian army, Mark Melgey was equipped with a large number of artillery pieces and hoarded a large number of shells. At this time, all of them bombarded the positions of the Soviet troops as if they did not want money.

While the Lithuanian soldiers were bombarding the east gate indiscriminately, the Soviet troops in ambush outside the west gate also saw the movement of the Lithuanian troops on the city wall.

Under the cover of rumbling artillery fire, the Soviet soldiers quickly ran towards the west gate.

The Lithuanian soldiers on the city wall were all looking anxiously at the east gate, and the officers were teaching the men who had just been sent to use their weapons correctly, and they did not notice that a Soviet army was quietly rushing under the city walls.

"So put the butt of the rifle on your shoulder, aim your right eye at the target, and shoot. Yes, that's it! An officer with a Mauser rifle demonstrated to the folks. He turned around, ready to shoot outside the city.

The sight in front of him suddenly startled him, and the dense Soviet army was silently rushing towards the west gate.

"There are enemies! The Soviets have attacked! The officer immediately shouted.

The Lithuanian soldiers on the city walls immediately commanded the miners to return to their positions and defend themselves. But the men had never defended themselves above the walls, and one by one they were running around with a Mauser rifle, and the whole city was in disarray.

As soon as the Soviet troops saw that the Lithuanians on the walls had spotted them, they immediately abandoned their concealment and rushed towards the western gate with all their might.

Two kilometers outside the city, six 76mm cannons have already been quietly set up, and various design parameters have been repeatedly calculated. As soon as the Soviet artillery officer saw that the attack was exposed, he ordered the soldiers to pull down the branches and other shelters on the guns and attack.

Opening the bolt, the Soviet soldiers struggled to stuff a cannonball, closed the latch, the artillery had already been aimed at the target, one by one the soldiers decisively pulled the rope, and one shell after another flew directly towards the west gate.

Two shells landed near the city gate, instantly shattering half of the gate, and several other shells landed on the city wall, blowing away all the people gathered together.

A 76mm shell landed on the city wall, and the debris from the explosion enveloped the Lithuanian people within a radius of ten meters, and the shock wave caused by the explosion shook the people who were leaning on the edge of the city wall to the point that they vomited blood, and their internal organs were almost severely damaged.

Several soldiers were blown away by the impact of the explosion, flew out of the city wall, and with a scream, fell to the bottom of the city wall, and fell to the ground.

"Spread out, spread out!"

"Don't put your head, chest and abdomen on the ground, you'll be killed by shells!" The Lithuanian officer shouted.

But because of the herd effect, all those people crowded together and hid in the corners of the city wall. As for what the officers shouted, most of them could not understand it.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Soviet troops quickly rushed to the west gate.

Because it was only two kilometers away, the Soviet artillery boldly shelled the city walls without fear of accidentally injuring friendly troops.

At a hundred meters, fragments of a shell from the Soviet artillery flew to the side of the Soviet troops, and the Soviet artillery immediately extended its fire into the city.

Some of the Lithuanian soldiers instructed the men to leave the corner to go to their positions, and some immediately went to turn the artillery around and shoot outside the west gate. There were also Lithuanian soldiers who commanded the people to shoot at the enemy troops outside the city.

Scattered bullets fell in the ranks of the Soviets, knocking down a few unlucky ones, and the Soviet soldiers, seeing that the enemy's weak firepower, were even more confident, and rushed madly towards the city gates. There were also soldiers who ran behind with improvised ladders made of trees.

The Lithuanian officer, commanding several soldiers and dozens of civilians, crouched behind the barricade of sandbags behind the city gate, aiming at the west gate.

A Soviet soldier rushed in, and all the civilians inside opened fire, and he was shot all over the body and fell to the ground in regret.

One more Soviet soldier with two ・・・・・・ more rushed in, and the men were busy pulling the bolts of their guns, and all at once their fire was greatly reduced.

A Soviet soldier pulled out a grenade and pulled the drawstring.

The officer immediately shouted: "Heavy machine gun fire!" ”

"Da ・・・・・・" The sound of heavy machine gun gunfire rang out, knocking the enemy to the ground. However, the grenades on the opposite side were also thrown into the crowd, knocking down a crowd of people.

Heavy machine gun fire continued to block the entrance to the city gate. After the Soviets fell several times in a row, they relied on the city gates for shooting.

At this time, a series of ladders were erected on the wall next to it. Lithuanian soldiers hid on the walls and shot from below. However, the Soviet soldiers under the city had already aimed at the top of the city wall, and the two sides were shooting at a distance of more than ten meters, and people were constantly shot and killed.

One grenade after another was thrown onto the city wall by the Soviet soldiers under the city, and several Soviet soldiers climbed up the wooden ladder to the top of the wall. Lithuanian soldiers and civilians hurried over to stop it.

However, there were only fifty Lithuanian soldiers in total, and the defenders could not take care of the hundreds of meters long area.

・・・・・・A Soviet man rushed up the city wall with a light machine gun, lay on the ground and fired at the people who rushed not far away, and one by one the Lithuanian people fell directly to the ground.

"Can't stop it, run!" A man saw that all his friends in front of him had fallen in a pool of blood, and suddenly ran away with a shout.

The rest of the people watched as the Soviet soldiers climbed up the ladder one by one, and scattered in a hurry. (To be continued.) )
