"Artillery bombardment, give me the enemy's heavy machine guns first!" General Zukauskas ordered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the First World War, all the soldiers made the enemy's heavy machine-gun positions a priority target.

Lithuanian soldiers, aiming at the target under the command of German instructors, began shelling the heavy machine-gun positions of the Soviet troops. A few shells splattered the Soviet line of defense with mud. The Soviet soldiers immediately stopped firing and shifted their heavy machine-gun positions.

The entire battlefield was filled with the sound of gunfire, and the artillery of the Lithuanian army bombarded the town's defenses.

After more than an hour, the Lithuanian army dug several deep trenches on the ground 500 meters outside the city with the cover of artillery, and established siege positions. Various heavy machine guns were also arranged on top of improvised positions.

The general looked at the well-defended town and immediately ordered: "Blow up all the enemy's defenses for me!" ”

The Lithuanian artillery immediately fired frantically at the walls of the town, and the soldiers continued to extend into the city. For a time, the power of dozens of artillery pieces shrouded the entire town in a cloud of smoke.

Just as the Lithuanian artillery was firing with all their might, a shell suddenly fell next to their artillery position, followed by a series of seven shells covering the Lithuanian artillery position. Suddenly the Lithuanian artillery positions were shrouded in an explosion, and a shell of the Soviet army fell in a pile of shells prepared by the Lithuanian army, causing an even more violent explosion, and the power of dozens of 75mm shells exploded together completely destroyed most of the artillery positions. The bones of the soldiers inside were all gone, the cannon had been blown into a pile of scrap metal, and the thick barrel had been twisted into twists.

"What's going on?" General Zukauskas heard a loud explosion behind him and immediately asked loudly in shock.

"One of our artillery positions was destroyed by the enemy, and the specific losses are still being counted." An officer reported.

"How so? Pull back the other two artillery positions, throw all the shells into the city, and get rid of the artillery on the opposite side for me. General Zukauskas ordered.

The Lithuanian artillery suffered such a big loss, and immediately retreated three kilometers, re-established positions, and arranged them more dispersed in case of shelling.

The Lithuanian artillery was constantly shelling the town from a long distance, and the Soviet artillery was constantly counterattacking. But after the distance was widened, the Soviet artillery no longer had the same good luck as before. Relying on the advantage of more artillery, the Lithuanian artillery gradually suppressed the Soviet artillery, and the artillery in the city gradually became quieter. In the end, only one cannon could fire a shell every ten minutes.

After half an hour of shelling, the whole town was already in tatters and unrecognizable.

General Zukauskas could not see a single living Soviet soldier in his binoculars, and their bodies were not lying on the ground.

"Bring in a battalion to charge! The rest of the troops are covering with all their might! General Zukauskas ordered.

The machine guns on the Lithuanian line were aimed at the Soviet line of defense, and hundreds of meters of Lithuanian soldiers were frightened out of the trenches and rushed towards the gap in the wall of the town.

Five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters・・・・・・ Lithuanian assault troops involuntarily began to converge. At this moment, the Soviet soldiers in the city withstood the rain of bullets and fired continuously at the rushing Lithuanian troops. More than a dozen light and heavy machine guns suddenly opened fire from various concealed positions, hitting dozens of Lithuanian soldiers at once.

The Lithuanian soldiers shouted slogans and continued to rush forward, and the Lithuanian soldiers on the defensive line outside the city continued to suppress the fire of the Soviet troops on the wall with heavy machine guns.

But the Soviet soldiers were undaunted, and one soldier fell, and soon someone came to replace him, and the light and heavy machine guns fired frantically almost non-stop.

Outside the city, Lithuanian soldiers fell, as did the Lithuanian Soviet soldiers on the walls.

"General, I'm afraid that this time we won't be able to rush in, the enemy will concentrate all their firepower on this side, and it will be difficult for our army to break through." A German officer reminded.

"Let the troops on the left and right also transfer a battalion to charge!" General Zukauskas, seeing that his troops were only two hundred meters away from the town, immediately ordered.

"Yes, sir." The herald quickly passed the order over.

Two armies were also sent from the positions on the left and right to attack the town.

Siege from three directions, and soon rushed under the wall. The Lithuanian soldiers continued to charge inside along the several gaps opened by the artillery.

The firepower of the Soviet troops suddenly weakened, and the sound of machine guns suddenly disappeared.

A group of Lithuanian soldiers rushed in through the gap.

The Soviet soldiers inside had re-established a barricade near the gap, with rifles and machine guns all aimed at the gap. As soon as they saw the Lithuanian soldiers rushing in, they immediately shot wildly.

As soon as the Lithuanian soldiers entered, they were knocked to the ground by bullets, and the Lithuanian soldiers behind desperately squeezed inside, and the Lithuanian soldiers inside wanted to retreat, but they suddenly crowded into the gap, became a mess, and were calmly shot by the Soviet soldiers.

"There's an ambush ahead! Back off! Back off! Come on the grenade! Several Lithuanian officers saw this scene and immediately shouted that they wanted to reorganize the ranks.

But only a few of the soldiers in front carried grenades, and one soldier had just pulled out the pull ring, and before he could throw it, he was knocked to the ground by the Soviet soldiers as a key target.

The surrounding soldiers immediately scattered in panic.

A few seconds later, the grenade exploded in the crowd, and all the surrounding soldiers were blown away.・・・・・・

Before some of the soldiers rushed in, they heard the shouts of "retreat", and then saw several soldiers escaping from inside, and immediately ran back after them.

The other soldiers saw that someone was retreating, and they followed suit, and then the whole army began to retreat.

General Zukauskas saw through his telescope that his troops had already entered the city, but they had been beaten out, his face was dark and gloomy, and he kept walking back and forth uneasily in the headquarters.

"General, I need your help, now is the time for your troops to do their job, and I would like to ask you to assist us in launching another attack. We're going to be able to take the town this time. General Zukauskas said solemnly.

"General Zukauskas, I feel that the enemy's morale is high now, and it is not a good time for us to attack, as the attack just now shows. Maybe we need to put more shells to weaken the enemy. Now it's getting dark, and if we harass them with artillery shelling all night, their fighting spirit and stamina will definitely drop tomorrow, and we will be able to take this town without a hitch. Said calmly.
