Chapter 587: Withdrawn?

An infantry company of the 284th Infantry Division was facing the Germans head-on, and the lieutenant company commander was still unable to start in the face of the German army's fortifications relying on buildings and trenches before receiving artillery support from the rear. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Holding on to each other, I didn't expect a force to be killed from the flank behind the German army, and the Germans were caught off guard by a rapid attack, and the German positions were taken by a pinching blow on both sides.

"Comrade Sergeant, where did you come from?!" After the lieutenant joined up with the support units that suddenly appeared, he was a little confused about the situation in this area, and there were still infantry of the 23rd Division, so he was a little puzzled - was the attack on the old city completely chaotic?!

"Just from the back block, the ghetto, we came through the wall, and with the help of this comrade Sharon."

Tozić crouched down and replied loudly, the Jewish policeman with Tokarev's T33 pistol was right next to him - but there were no more bullets in the gun, and he rushed to the second and third positions of everyone during the raid, and he had exhausted the eight rounds in the magazine in one go.

Completely disregarding his own safety, if Tozić hadn't hit him at a critical moment, it is estimated that this daredevil would have been reimbursed by the bullets fired by the Germans just now!

The hatred of the fascists is no less than that of others, which is why they are so desperate.

"The Jewish ghetto?"

It took half a minute for Toziki to make the lieutenant in front of him understand what he was seeing.

"There are more than 20,000 people in the ghettos, and it's almost hell inside, and the streets of the neighborhood we just entered are full of Jews who were slaughtered two days ago, at least thousands! ……”

At this time, the follow-up troops arrived, and there were several mortars. Several officers directed their troops to continue the assault, and one of them, led by Tozic, entered the ghetto: Sharon said that this would get as soon as possible to Kaunas Street in the south, with no obstacles in between, except for the damned wall.

Hundreds of people entered the quarantine area and rushed quickly.

The soldiers received a warm welcome - all the windows on both sides of the street were filled with people, cheering at the Red Army soldiers running through the streets! The sheets were torn and they were waved out the window!

It felt really good, but the soldiers didn't stop and quickly headed south. Passing by the gate of the humble police station, I saw a group of people waiting, about fifteen or sixteen, running after the soldiers.

"We've organized people to show you the way, and they're all locals." One bearded man was out of breath and stopped as he finished speaking, apparently unfit to lead the way.

There were also a lot of people crowded at the doors of the buildings on both sides, but not many dared to come out, and it seemed that the words of the people in the police station were not in vain, and the fear of the army was also working, especially some children, who looked at the soldiers who were driving fast with fear - perhaps it was difficult to distinguish who was the good guy and who was the butcher in the eyes of the children.

At the headquarters of the Third Assault Army, Lin Jun had not closed his eyes for two days, and now a report from the 284th Division was also sent to him after passing through Commander Pulkaev.

"The Jewish ghetto?!"

Seeing this word, Lin Jun understood in his heart what it meant: death, fear, hunger, .......

"Gusev." Lin Jun called the staff officers who were resting outside, "Immediately send a telegram to Moscow and the Northwestern Front, and find that there is a large Jewish ghetto in the Vilnius city, and there are about 20,000 survivors. ”

"Inform Pulkaev and ask the logistics department to try to ensure the living needs of the survivors in the quarantine area. In addition, let the reporters accompanying the army take more pictures, and also have film materials, and if there are no cameras in the group army, let the military planes of the front send them over as soon as possible. ”

Lin Jun gave a few orders in one breath, and Gusev immediately left to do it.

Unable to sit still, another report came: "The Germans began to retreat from the city of Vilnius, and the siege forces were in pursuit. ”

"Take the initiative to retreat? Something strange? "This is not the usual style of the German army.

In the war room, it was seven o'clock in the morning, and the sky was already starting to light a little.

"We are building a pontoon bridge over the Neris River in the north of the Gediminas Mountains to transport artillery across the river. Armored forces are marching in the direction of Lentvaris, capturing the railway junction there. ”

Lin Jun stared at his reddened eyes: "Maxim Alekseevich, do you think their Army Group North has reached the point where it needs to take the initiative to retreat?" ”

"Far from it, Marshal. There is still at least half a month before the muddy season, and if it were me, I would never have given up on Vilnius if there was no other reason. "It is very important, our attack is very sudden, and I am worried that the Germans will mobilize heavy groups from the front line of Alitus and launch a counter-assault on us from both flanks, so that we will be in a position of passivity on the south bank of the Nereis River, and we may be encircled." ”

Offense and defense are not absolute, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and changes are instantaneous!

However, there was no need for Lin Jun and Pulkaev to worry too much, Tukhachev had already foreseen possible problems according to the current situation, and sent a new order to the Third Army - after the Tutu armored cluster occupied Rentvaris, the troops would go to the defense in place.

Drag the Germans into the spring, so that the offensive launched will be successfully completed - relying on roads, railways and cities as support points, no one can expect to make a big move in the muddy season, and there will be almost two months of peace.

At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Jun got up from the marching bed where he had slept for three hours, and appeared outside the headquarters after simply wiping his face. The guards had just changed their posts, and the ones just now had gone to rest, and the new ones were in good spirits and ready to accompany the marshal into Vilnius.

Gusev, Landskoc, and Alyosha had just gotten up from the wooden beds where the staff officers had slept, but their faces were a little tired, but when they saw the marshal come out, they all cheered up - the marshals rested less than them, at least they were resting in shifts, and as long as they did not take shifts, they could sleep with shells all over the world, and the marshals had very little sleep time, and often did not rest at night.

"Marshal, the pontoon bridge connecting the north bank from the north of the city to the south bank has been connected, and it can be passed now."

In the car, Landscoch sat next to Lin Jun and reported, and the convoy headed south along the somewhat damaged road.

At the ferry, you can see the ruins on the north bank, the once famous Vilnius radio factory in Europe, and the main town of Vilnius on the other side of the river.

Black smoke could still be seen in the sky, and it looked like a mess - the old buildings near the line of the Nereis River, which had been used for summer open-air baths, were gone, leaving only the broken bricks and rubbles that had been completely destroyed by the artillery fire on the north shore!
