At twelve o'clock, the sound of dense footsteps sounded in the city of Daugavpils, and Koval heard the march against the ground, and immediately jumped to his feet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"All ready!" Koval commanded in a low voice.

"Sir, it's pitch black in the city, and you can't see anything!" Majewski said.

"Wait a little longer, they'll be coming out!" Koval said calmly.

Groups of Soviet soldiers walked out of the city of Daugavpils in an orderly manner by the sparse moonlight.

The nearest group of Soviet soldiers marched on a path less than a few dozen meters from the dense forest, and all the Polish soldiers immediately hid their bodies.

"Sir, do you want us to make some movement to remind the people on the battlefield?" Landa asked eagerly.

"It's not our mission!" Koval said solemnly: "Our mission is the key to this battle, don't let the small lose the big." We should believe that they will be able to hold off the attacks of the Soviet troops. ”

"Yes, sir."

After more than ten minutes, the Soviet troops finally passed through this road, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, don't you want to do it yet?" Majewski asked a little anxiously.

Koval said calmly, "Wait a while, and we'll act when they attack." ”

On the Polish position, all the soldiers waited with their guns in hand.

Holding a telescope, Locke kept an eye on the fire two hundred meters in front of the position, alert for a surprise attack by the Soviet troops.

The flames burned silently, and the light of the fire illuminated the land on both sides, forming a line of defense that broke through the darkness.

"Sir, you see the Soviet troops ahead! Too many, all of them. It's dark and I can't see clearly, but it's just a lot of ・・・・・・," said a panicked report from a sentry who had come out of the position to stand guard.

Locke stopped his words and immediately ordered, "Light machine gun, strafe ahead." ”

"Yes, sir." The machine gunner next to him replied.

Da ・・・・・・ accompanied by the red flames of the machine gun, and a dense stream of bullets swept towards the front of the position.

The Soviet troops had quietly marched forward, trying to get as close as possible to the positions of the Polish troops. As soon as they heard the sound of Polish machine guns, they immediately became nervous.

Bullets hit the dense ranks of the Soviets, hitting several soldiers at once. When a Soviet soldier saw that his comrades were suddenly beaten to a blur of flesh and blood, he immediately raised his rifle and fired at the flaming light machine gun.

The Soviet troops in this one area were immediately exposed.

"Stop shooting!"

"Stop shooting!" A Soviet officer snatched a rifle from which he was firing and shouted: "Get down!" ”

"Look, where are they!" The soldiers on the Polish position, seeing the Soviet soldiers shooting, immediately raised their rifles and fired there.

Bullets struck the chaotic Soviet troops, knocking down some of the hapless ones.

When the other Soviet soldiers heard the officer's order, they stopped firing and lay on the ground.

"I can't see them anymore! Where are they? The Polish soldiers saw that the area in front of them suddenly fell silent, and they all talked about it.

Locke looked at the strange silence in front of him, and immediately ordered in a low voice: "All on alert, the firepower point exposed just now immediately moves its position!" ”

"Yes, sir." Several machine gun crews immediately shifted their positions.

In the midst of this darkness, the Soviet troops quietly moved forward step by step, adjusting the deployment of their weapons, and a Maxim heavy machine gun with wheels was set up behind a suitable obstacle.

Traces of Soviet units were also found in front of the positions of the 1st Infantry Division, and one flare was fired three or four hundred meters in front of the Polish positions.

Dazzling light bombs slowly flew into the sky, illuminating the surrounding area within a radius of 500 meters.

"Flares!" When the Soviet officer saw it, he immediately shouted in surprise: "Shoot!" ”

All the Soviet soldiers also took advantage of this glimmer of light and fired wildly at the positions of the Polish troops.

Dadada・・・・・・

Dense bullets hit the positions of the Polish troops, grabbing a preemptive.

The Polish troops were still waiting for the flares to rise into the sky from the bottom of the side, and they were caught off guard for a while.

When the flares rose into the sky, the Poles were surprised to see the huge attacking contingent of Soviet troops, standing inside the trenches, firing with weapons in hand.

Dense bullets shuttled back and forth, and the gunfight was extremely intense.

After more than ten seconds, the light of the flare became weaker and weaker, and slowly extinguished from the sky.

The night slowly fell again.

"Stop shooting, stop shooting!" The Soviet officer immediately ordered.

The gunfire on one side soon stopped, and the Soviet troops disappeared into the darkness.

"What's going on? I can't see them again! One by one, the Polish soldiers commented.

"What about flares? Shoot flares! Lieutenant Colonel Tadeush shouted and ordered.

The staff officer called and asked a few questions, and replied: "Report to the chief, in order to bring more shells, we only brought a few flares when we set off, and all of them were almost consumed in the previous battle. ”

"!" Lieutenant Colonel Tadeusz cursed secretly.

Koval heard the sound of gunfire coming from above the Polish positions and immediately led the team out of the dense forest.

"Now, we're wearing Soviet uniforms, we're a Soviet unit, you understand?" Koval said.

"Yes, sir."

"Without my orders, it is not allowed to speak in Polish, only in Russian, understand?" Koval admonished.

"Yes, sir."

Koval led his troops from east to west towards the city of Daugavpils.

At the entrance of the street to the east of the city, a trench was dug in the ground, and the back was made of sandbags, and the middle road was lined with wooden stakes wrapped with wire. Behind the fortifications there were two soldiers standing guard, and the lights on the second floor of the houses on either side were also on.

Koval summoned the assault squad and ordered: "Wait for Majewski, you take a shooter squad to attract the attention of the front, I will take two soldiers to take charge of the left room, Landa, you are responsible for the enemy troops in the right room." Remember, try not to shoot and don't make big noises. Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

Koval gave Mayevsky a few more words and said: "In Russian, be smart, understand? ”

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, let's go our separate ways!" Koval commanded.

More than a dozen Polish soldiers dressed in Soviet uniforms walked towards the checkpoint east of Daugavpils.
