Chapter 172: Plan
"I always remember the credit you made this time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info This time we're going to lay down Daugavpils and sweep across the Baltic region. The army is the young man who needs you! General Himigvi said, patting Koval on the shoulder.
"My subordinates must do their best!" Koval immediately said excitedly.
"What do you think about attacking Daugavpils?" General Himigvi asked suddenly.
Koval pondered for a moment and said: "Daugavpils is the stronghold of the Soviet army in the Baltic region, and it is bordered by the Gava River, which is far from comparable to the small towns that our army has encountered before. Our army can cut off the water and land transportation channels outside the city, and then fight steadily. ”
"Yes, our army has already taken the whole of Lithuania, and it is really not advisable to take risks." General Himigvi said with some regret and some ease.
Koval quietly observed General Himigvi's expression, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and quietly muttered: "Although I have thought about it for so many days and have a whole set of plans in my heart, if I say it, I'm afraid you will see me unpleasant." ”
I remembered that in the future, there was a meeting in the company, and the leaders asked everyone to express their opinions and speak freely. But if anyone really stands up and says a lot, they will definitely not be favored by the leader, but will only be secretly resisted by the leader and other employees, feeling that you are not self-sufficient.
Now, in order to show his humility, General Himigvi came to ask Koval, and Koval naturally came up with a mediocre idea. As for the real opportunities in his heart, he still has to wait until the time is ripe!
"I heard you've spent time on the battlefields of the Western Front?" General Himigvi asked.
"Yes, sir." Koval replied immediately.
"Your accent is familiar to me, where is your hometown?" General Himigvi asked.
"My hometown is Krakow in Galicia. ”
"Oh! In this way, we are still fellow countrymen! General Shimigvi said happily: "I was born in Lapshen, Galicia. So how did you get to the Western Front? ”
"My father used to follow General Pilsudski's troops, and in 1917, when the Germans captured General Pilsudski, our troops were controlled by the German-Austrian government. My father and some of his comrades fled to the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare, and he died in a battle. I went to the Western Front with some of my comrades to help the French fight the Germans. Koval slowly introduced himself.
"For the sake of Polish independence, we sacrificed many warriors like your father. Will I be able to know your father's name? General Himigvi asked solemnly.
"Luke Coval." Koval replied.
General Himigvi clapped his hands and suddenly shouted, "Oh! I should have thought it was him. ”
"Sir, do you know my father?" Koval asked curiously.
"Although I have only met your father Luke a few times, we know each other well. I didn't expect him to die like this. General Himigvi said regretfully.
"Since you are an old man of our Polish Legion, I will take you back to Warsaw to meet your father's comrades-in-arms in the past. This time you must behave well, and after the battle is over, I will take you to General Pilsudski. General Himigvi said with emotion.
"All for Poland." Koval said passionately.
"You go back and settle the troops first, and then they will be stationed on the hill over there!" General Shimigvi pointed to a place and said, "A military meeting will be held at four o'clock in the afternoon, and you will come and attend." ”
"Yes, sir." Koval saluted.
In the afternoon, Koval went alone to a military meeting.
In a hastily erected house, a dozen senior officers sat around a large table.
General Shimigvi stands at the top, with a huge map of Daugavpils behind him.
"Daugavpils is surrounded by the wide Gava River on the east, south and west, and dense primeval forests on the north, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, what advice do you have for attacking the city?" General Himigvi said, pointing to the map.
"General, I think we can force our way across the river in that small clearing north of Daugavpils, and as long as our artillery suppresses the artillery on the opposite side, I will be able to cross the river." An officer immediately stood up and said.
I don't know how many people will die in this way, Koval thought to himself.
"The Gava River is 100 meters wide and has abundant water in summer, making it unsuitable for forced crossing." General Shimigvi rejected this suggestion.
"There is a path to the north of Daugavpils, and we can try to sneak across the river from the north to the original city, and then attack it from the path." The other regimental commander stood up and said.
After some deliberation among the officers, General Shimigwe said, "This plan is being kept for the time being, and we will take a look at the road conditions in the north before making a decision." ”
The other officers also made all sorts of strange suggestions, but they were all rejected by General Shimigvi.
The meeting lasted until 7 p.m., and in addition to discussing the siege plan, it also divided the defense areas of the various troops. A siege battle can be as short as a month or as long as a year, and it is necessary to establish a strong position to withstand all kinds of unexpected situations.
