The German officer immediately went down and ordered the artillery to counterattack the Soviet artillery. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

While the allied artillery outside the city was busy sending people to observe the position of the enemy artillery, the Soviet artillery inside the city continued to aim at the city wall and fire shells. The guns controlled by the three artillery crews were constantly attacking the remaining firing points at a rate of four or five rounds per second, and the other seventeen guns were firing slowly without a single shot, anyway, at a distance of five or six hundred meters, it was enough to aim with the naked eye.

The coalition soldiers on the city wall were suddenly blown up by the sudden blow, some soldiers insisted on continuing the attack on the city wall, and some soldiers waited for the order of their superiors, and the position was in chaos.

The vanguard of the coalition soldiers in the city had already stormed the interior of the town, attacking the houses held by the Soviet soldiers.

As the cannon sounded, all the Soviet soldiers who had retreated and were hiding inside the town rushed out. A rifle re-emerged from the rooftops, windows, and balconies of the houses, firing at the allied forces exposed to the houses, and the whole town seemed to suddenly turn from an apple to a chestnut covered in spikes.

Groups of Soviet soldiers rushed from the facades of the houses to the streets, mounted machine guns on the destroyed barricades, and fired at the coalition soldiers who were crowded on the streets, each bullet piercing the bodies of two or three coalition soldiers and forming a string of gourds.

"Lie down! Lie down! The coalition officer shouted loudly.

Coalition soldiers lay under the corners of the streets on both sides of the street, rifles firing round at ear.

But the timing of the Soviet attack was so good that when the Allied soldiers had not gained a firm foothold after entering the streets of the town, if after a little while, the Allied troops would be able to rely on the buildings to resist the surprise attack of the Soviet soldiers.

But now only four or five hundred of the 1,000 coalition soldiers rushed into the streets, and the remaining half of the soldiers were still in the open space fifty meters behind, and only half of the troops were able to enter the battle, fighting with the defending Soviet soldiers for control of the house.

The Soviet soldiers concentrated dozens of machine guns and suddenly launched a counter-charge, which at once hit the coalition soldiers with a rubbing of hands. The 500-strong coalition soldiers, faced with the thousands of Soviet soldiers pouring out from all directions, suddenly lost the support of machine guns and mortars on the city walls, and had to retreat one after another.

Looking at the rapidly retreating coalition soldiers, Soviet soldiers chased and strafed along the street with Madsen light machine guns.

Before the coalition soldiers in the back could figure out what was happening in front, they saw the coalition soldiers in front of them fleeing frantically backwards, blocking there for a while.

"Retreat! The front can't stand it! The retreating soldier shouted.

"Rush forward! Resist me! The officer in the back shouted, it was a surprise to retreat so quickly, and he probably thought that there was only a little trouble ahead.

The Soviet troops swept along the streets with machine guns, and all the backward coalition soldiers were under the muzzles of the Soviet soldiers, where was the time to take prisoners at this time, and when they saw the living coalition soldiers, a few bullets were fired at them.

As the Soviet soldiers advanced rapidly, all the allied soldiers finally saw the ferocious fire of their opponent's dozens of machine guns. What is even more embarrassing is that the position of the coalition forces is an open field, there is no danger to defend at all, and there are no fortifications to use as a line of defense.

The coalition soldiers were huddled together, so they had to lie on the ground, crouching in the corner of the house and holding their rifles at the surging Soviet soldiers.

The Soviet soldiers set up their machine guns in the middle of the street, held down the machine gun buttons, and fired wildly at the coalition soldiers in the clearing, and the flames of the muzzles were dazzling. Grenades were thrown off the façade of the house, knocking a group of Coalition soldiers to the ground.

The German battalion commander watched his soldiers being killed by the enemy almost without resistance, and finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and shouted loudly: "Retreat, all retreat!" ”

The Lithuanian soldiers retreated in a swarm, squeezing the German soldiers next to them. The German soldiers had no choice but to hold on to the back, desperately blocking the Soviet troops.

Soviet artillery shells fell on the open space near the city walls, and when a shell fell, sometimes a dozen or even dozens of soldiers were blown away. The coalition soldiers withstood machine-gun fire and shell fire as they retreated from the city gates.

All the Lithuanian soldiers squeezed the gates of the city at once.

"Quickly let the artillery aim at the location of the city gate and hit me hard!" Ivan, who was standing on the third floor of the house and observing the battle, immediately ordered.

"Yes, sir."

When the coalition soldiers entered the city, the soldiers in front climbed up from the collapsed place outside the city wall, and then used a ladder to go down in the city, and some directly built on the city wall, and jumped down, and there was no major problem at a height of four or five meters. The coalition soldiers who entered the back rushed in through the city gate after opening it.

But when it was time to retreat now, most of the ladders that had been set up inside the city walls had been blown away by the shells that had just been blown away.

A group of Lithuanian soldiers ran to the place where they had come down with the ladder and saw it fall to the ground. Two soldiers picked it up and put it on top of the city wall. One by one, the soldiers stepped on it, and five soldiers were squeezed down the small wooden ladder at once.

Click! With a crisp sound, the horizontal bar in the middle of the ladder was directly broken, and the entire ladder directly disintegrated and became two halves, and all five soldiers on it fell to the ground.

The rest of the soldiers looked at the ladder that split in half.

At that moment, a shell landed near them, exploding with a thud, and a miserable scream rang out.

A soldier gritted his teeth, took half of the ladder as a piece of wood, and held it and struggled to climb up. Another soldier saw it and hurriedly occupied the other half of the wooden ladder.

The rest of the soldiers watched the two men slowly climb up like snails, and they were anxious.

A soldier looked at the wall four or five high in front of him, and his heart was full of resentment.

Because the number of shells fired by the Soviet artillery was small, and there were no 105mm large-caliber guns, they were directly aimed at the city wall, and the damage to the inner side of the city wall was not as powerful as the 1,500 shells of the coalition army in the morning.

Originally, when I came down, the height of four or five was nothing, but now it is not easy to climb it with my bare hands. Only a few dozen agile soldiers rushed towards the low part of the city wall, put their hands on the wall, and climbed up desperately.
