The Lithuanian soldiers inside the town fired desperately at the artillery, and the bullets rained down on the cannon shields. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the city walls gave the artillery good cover, and the other Soviet soldiers continued to suppress the opposite firing points.

The Soviet artilleryman squatted and opened the bolt, withdrew the cartridge case, held a shell and stuffed it in, closed the bolt, slightly adjusted the angle of the gun, aimed at another target next to it, and pulled the drawstring.

With a bang, another house was directly blown up, and the machine guns inside were suddenly dumbfounded.

Eight 76mm mountain guns of the Soviet army fired hundreds of shells into the inside of the city walls, and in one fell swoop wiped out the firing points placed by the Lithuanians on the eastern periphery. The other Lithuanian soldiers, seeing the power of the Soviet artillery, hurriedly took their weapons and retreated to the rear.

"Sir, the position on the eastern periphery is about to be lost." A dusty Lithuanian officer ran over and cried.

"What's going on? Isn't it possible to defend for at least half a day? General Zukauskas asked in surprise.

"The Soviet troops pulled the artillery directly to the city wall and fired at the strongholds of our army in the city, and those strongholds could not bear it!" The officer explained helplessly.

"Is there any movement in the German army?" Zukauskas asked the other officer.

"Report to the chief, General Goltz says that they are fighting the Soviet army and have no spare forces to support us." An officer said with a sad face.

"This group of **** raised things! It usually sounds good, but it is unreliable at critical times. General Zukauskas couldn't help but scold.

"Prepare to retreat and negotiate with the Poles, we will give them all the military supplies in the warehouse, and let them make a way for us. The others quickly packed up their things, and we moved immediately. Calming his anger slightly, General Zukauskas commanded.

At this time, Makmergey has become a chicken rib, and only ensuring the troops under his command is the most important thing for Lithuania.

After ten minutes, an officer ran over and reported: "Sir, the Poles refused to let us pass. ”

"I'll see for myself." General Zukauskas said with a frown.

"I am the Lithuanian commander Zukauskas, and I want to talk to your commander." General Zukauskas, standing in the street with a loudspeaker, shouted in front of the Poles.

"General Zukauskas, in view of the attack on our army this morning, it is impossible for us to let you through, unless you are willing to surrender to us." Locke shouted from the window of the stronghold's house to the outside.

The sound of laughter from Polish soldiers could be heard all around.

"Hmph, we won't let you go even if the Soviet army destroys us." Zukauskars shouted angrily.

"We naturally have the confidence to resist the Soviet troops, so you won't have to bother." Locke said calmly.

With the Lithuanian stronghold on the east side of the city destroyed by artillery, the fire of the Soviet army directly suppressed the Lithuanians. Groups of Soviet soldiers rushed into the city.

The desperate resistance of the Lithuanian soldiers hiding in the city caused a lot of trouble for the Soviet army.

"Come on, push the artillery into the city, and blow up wherever there is an enemy." The Soviet division commander said directly.

Several artillerymen pushed the artillery and slowly moved towards the city.

A heavy machine gun blocked the intersection around the corner in front of it, and continued to fire at the intersection. The Soviet artillerymen looked at each other, loaded the artillery with shells, closed the bolts.

Several Soviet soldiers rushed to the nearby upstairs and set up machine guns and rifles to fire at enemy fire points. Sure enough, the Lithuanian machine gun was attracted and fired at the Soviet soldiers above the room.

As soon as the Soviet artillery saw that the enemy's machine gun had shifted the target, they immediately rushed out of the intersection with the artillery in a hurry, turned on the spot, quickly aimed at the house that was constantly emitting sparks seventy meters away, pulled the pull rope, and banged, and the stronghold of the Lithuanian army had collapsed.

"We can't be beaten passively here, and if this continues, all our strongholds will be destroyed one by one by Soviet artillery." A Lithuanian officer looked at the mountain artillery not far away and said to the soldiers around him: "Instead of waiting here for death, let's rush over and take out the enemy's artillery." Their guns are very far forward, and this is the only way for us to survive. ”

"Sir, say it! We all listen to you. The surrounding soldiers chimed in.

"Okay, all of you come and listen, we'll wait ・・・・・・," said the Lithuanian officer.

The Soviet troops entering the town were divided into eight arrows, protecting the continuous advance of the eight guns, and they did not need to risk their infantry to capture the fortifications of the Lithuanian soldiers. Just let the infantry find out the fortifications and firepower distribution in Lithuania, and then temporarily suppress the fire in the Lithuanian strongholds, and give artillery fire a chance.

The Lithuanian army abandoned the stronghold with twenty or thirty soldiers and hid in the basements under the houses.

As the Soviet troops slowly advanced along the streets, a small group of Soviet soldiers came in to inspect them, and found no trace of the Lithuanian troops, leaving two men to run up to the second floor and occupy the high ground.

Hundreds of Soviet soldiers marched towards the street with a 76mm mountain gun.

The Lithuanian officer, hearing the footsteps of the Soviet soldiers, walked in and disappeared, and immediately crept out of the basement.

Through the windows, you can see the movement of Soviet troops on the street.

Ahead of another stronghold of Lithuanian soldiers, the Soviet soldiers shed dozens of men to protect the artillery, and the rest of the soldiers all ran to nearby houses to suppress the enemy's fire.

As soon as the Lithuanian officer saw this opportunity, several soldiers secretly climbed up to the second floor and dealt with the Soviet soldiers above. He quietly rushed out of the room with the rest of his men and ran behind the Soviet artillerymen.

The Soviet soldiers, who were responsible for protecting the artillery, all looked ahead, completely unexpectedly that the enemy would appear from behind.

The machine guns mounted on the second floor by the Lithuanians fired wildly at the Soviet soldiers in the streets, and the Lithuanian officers and soldiers used rifles and submachine guns to eliminate the other fish that slipped through the net.

The bullets from the bells ・・・・・・ machine guns left only a shallow mark on the artillery.

The Lithuanian officer pulled out three grenades and stuffed them into the muzzle, pulled off the pull ring at the same time, and immediately ran away.

There was a loud bang, and the barrel of the gun was slightly deformed.

"Let's go, let's retreat!" Lithuanian officers beckoned the soldiers to retreat. (To be continued.) )
