The light artillery regiment had already begun to shell the area in front of the Polish forward positions, but most of the Soviet attacking troops had already penetrated into the trenches, and in order to avoid accidental damage, the artillery was so restrained that it could not exert its might at all.

With a telescope, Koval watched as the shells fell in vain on the edge of the forward position, and the Polish soldiers in the trenches were intertwined with Soviet soldiers.

"I know! Lieutenant Colonel Plutoka, just now the tank unit went up and fell into an ambush of the enemy, and we didn't know the situation inside, so we rushed up to increase the casualties of the soldiers in vain. Lieutenant Colonel Tadeush whispered: "Now our artillery superiority cannot be brought into play, and continuing to invest troops is exactly the war of attrition that the enemy is looking forward to." ”

"Are you just watching my soldiers being wiped out by the enemy like this!" Lieutenant Colonel Plutoka rushed over and yelled.

The staff officer next to him immediately stopped him.

Koval looked at the front line, his head spinning. Trying to find a better way to free them.

But why isn't there a similar example? Koval said in annoyance.

The Polish army was cut into several sections by the Soviet troops, and they shrank into small strongholds for battle.

Seeing that the Polish troops were about to be completely overwhelmed by the Soviet troops, Koval gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Sir, immediately let the artillery start shelling the trenches from both sides!" Request support from a heavy artillery detachment. Then send a few companies to secretly bring back the remaining soldiers. ”

"Are you crazy? Our troops are in the trenches, and if the shelling continues, our soldiers will also be killed by the artillery. Lieutenant Colonel Baginsky shouted in surprise.

"Sir, there's no time to hesitate! Decide! Koval said firmly.

Lieutenant Colonel Tadeusz stared into Koval's eyes, took a deep breath, and decisively ordered: "Order the light artillery regiment to shell the forward positions!" ”

As he spoke, he walked to the telephone, dialed the phone, picked it up, and said solemnly: "I am Lieutenant Colonel Tadeush, and I request the heavy artillery detachment to shell the forward positions of our army!" ”

"What?" The operator on the opposite side was stunned by the order. After a while, another voice came: "I am, shelling the forward positions, Lieutenant Colonel Tadeush, are you sure you want to do this?" ”

"I know what I'm doing, do the order! There is no time to waste. Lieutenant Colonel Tadeush said clearly.

"Yes, sir."

Hanging up, Lieutenant Colonel Tadeusz walked to the observation window and stood quietly looking at the forward position in the distance, with Koval and the other officers silently standing behind.

Four battalions of Soviet soldiers surrounded two battalions of surviving Polish soldiers in several narrow trenches, costing several lives for every meter of advance on both sides.

Master Cronin stood on the top of the church house, admiring this beautiful scene.

"Division Commander, today's battle is really beautiful! The total annihilation of two battalions of the Poles, plus the day's victory, one of their main regiments will be reimbursed. I think these are just blowing out the 1st Division of the Polish Army, if it is not taking advantage of weapons, it is simply rubbish. The staff officer next to him said.

"Haha! It's just a fluke win. Cronin smiled lightly.

Boom・・・・・・ shells fell in a long strip of forward positions hundreds of meters long and thirty or forty meters wide.

"Are the Poles crazy?" Cronin's face changed slightly.

Maybe it's just a Polish artillery miss.

But then, more shells landed on the forward positions, and the violent explosion of the shells blew up a cloud of dust.

A shell fell into the trench, and the Soviet and Polish soldiers on both sides shouted at the same time, some of them immediately lay down, others turned and fled.

The shells exploded, and the shock wave was blocked by the trenches on both sides, so they had to rush along the trenches to both sides, and the soldiers were blown up one by one, and the fragments of the shells shot out in all directions, and this section of the trench of more than 20 meters was suddenly empty, leaving only a wailing and crying in one place.

Lieutenant Colonel Tadeusz and Koval watched as the shells exploded into the trenches and sparked bright sparks, and severed limbs and severed arms fell slowly in the sky.

Koval's heart was full of mixed feelings, and he couldn't tell the pain and helplessness.

This is the end of the loser, maybe it was so painful when the Führer committed suicide! Koval thought silently: no one wants to suffer this kind of pain twice!

The fierce bombardment suddenly suppressed the battle on the forward positions, and both the Soviet and Polish soldiers involuntarily stopped attacking and turned to look for places to hide from the shells, and the gunfire on the battlefield suddenly became thin.

Several Soviets crawled out of the trenches, and were immediately blown into broken corpses by the shells above, and another shell fell on the side of his corpse, which had not yet fallen, and with an explosion, the corpses disappeared without a trace, and countless pieces of debris fell above the trenches.

The other Soviet soldiers immediately turned around and hid in the corners of the trenches, crouching there with their heads in their hands.

"Battalion commander, if this continues, we will all die here!" A Soviet staff officer persuaded.

"If I don't have the order to retreat, I will die under military law, so I might as well die here." The Soviet battalion commander shouted.

Division Commander Cronin watched the Polish artillery cover the forward positions over and over again, and also understood the Polish commander's thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a ruthless method!" ”

The commander of the Latvian Musketeer Brigade next to him immediately persuaded: "Commander Kronin, I see that the enemy is almost all dead, so we can withdraw our troops!" ”

Cronin looked at the nervous looks of the Latvian and Lithuanian officers around him, nodded slowly and said, "Okay, since we have already won, why go to death with Poland?" Ordered to retreat. ”

"Yes, sir."

While they were struggling, the horn of retreat sounded, and the Soviet soldiers immediately made a rapid retreat along the trenches to both sides.

At this time, the Polish army also sounded the horn of retreat, and the surviving Polish soldiers supported each other, holding Polish flags, and retreated behind under artillery fire.

Seeing the Polish soldiers following the Polish flags on the forward position, Colonel Tadeusz immediately ordered the artillerymen to be careful of accidentally wounding them.

The Soviet troops, as if they had fought to their satisfaction today, did not continue the pursuit.

Seventy or eighty Polish soldiers rushed into the wheat fields with all their might, all the way to the rear positions.

Tadeusz saw such a miserable scene in the telescope, and the corners of his eyes also glistened brightly.
