"There are two anti-tank artillery battalions in the reserves, I will strengthen you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 There won't be many German armored units in the city, but they are all strong buildings and fortifications, you need. ”

The 284th Division had only one artillery regiment, and there were small-caliber cannons and mortars of each infantry regiment, and the firepower of the attack was insufficient.

"Commander, Vilnius is full of ancient buildings, and if they all become fortresses of the German army, can we shell them with artillery?"

Batyuk is not stupid enough to think of this.

Lin Jun looked at the two of them and interjected: "This is war, and war kills people, not to mention architecture. If the problem can be solved by shells, don't fill it with human lives, our soldiers are precious. ”

"Yes, Comrade Marshal!"

This lieutenant colonel can be regarded as a reassurance: Lin Jun's words are equivalent to deciding the fate of those historic city buildings, and he will not do anything to exchange the precious lives of soldiers for ancient buildings, that is a crime! As for the argument that the building should be preserved and not human life is the asshole argument, the so-called bullshit experts in the café with coffee and cigar smoking, or the afterthought "heartache" of a group of "famous people" who can only talk empty and do not create real wealth in society - these people should be dragged and shot! Or pull to the front line and tie up the armor of the charging tank to block the bullets, and see if they will think that they want to build without human lives!

Maybe many years later, someone will accuse Lin Jun of what he did, but now he has to do it according to the laws of war, and whoever opposes Lin Jun can be killed first.

The words of the deputy commander-in-chief are the truth, and it would be a pity if Batyuk broke the Kremlin, but as for Vilnius, it was like the marshal said.

"Carry out the order, I hope to see the red flag planted on the top of Mount Gediminas before nightfall tomorrow!"

"Yes, Comrade Commander!"

Saying that, Batyuk saluted and turned to leave.

Watching the lieutenant colonel stride out of the war room, Lin Jun said to Pulkaev: "Tomorrow, it will be difficult. ”

Pulkaev also nodded: "Yes, marshal, but it is still possible for the commandos to occupy the central city." ”

"If you put a cannon on the top of Mount Gediminas, you can accurately shell the entire city, and the Germans will definitely launch a frantic counterattack. We have given the 284th Division the most difficult task, and it depends on whether the boys from Siberia can complete it. ”

"I will hand over the remaining troops of the 23rd Division to Batyuk for temporary command at the same time to replenish their attrition."

Lin Jun listened to what Pulkaev said, and motioned to Gusev, who was beside him, to take his coat, "Marshal, do you want it?" Pulkaev asked.

"I'll go to the ferry and cheer up the soldiers."

The commander of the group army had no choice, but he knew that the deputy commander liked to run to the front, but fortunately he did not say that he wanted to cross the river to the opposite side.

Against the marshal's decision? That's self-deprecating.

Several entourages accompanied Lin Jun away, and his bulletproof sedan and a fleet of armored personnel carriers transporting the guards were parked outside. The bulletproof car, which was damaged by the "brothers in the woods", was repaired and returned from Moscow, like new.

At the landing ground on the north bank of the Nereis River, Lin Jun saw dozens of pontoon bridges lined up on the water with a large amount of ice floe in the distance, a large number of troops either on foot or by car from the improvised road to the ferry, and in the far field, two long columns of T34 tanks accompanied by the smoke emitted by diesel engines, "rumbling" forward.

The landing ground was surrounded by anti-aircraft artillery positions, and the anti-aircraft gunners watched the air and waited for them, while their own planes constantly whizzed through the air from north to south on both wings.

The car leader turned at least 200 meters from the ferry port and turned into a small forest covered with snow and ice. This was the landing site, and the Luftwaffe could appear at any time, and the marshal's convoy was so conspicuous that any German pilot would have made the limousine on the ground the first target of attack.

"Marshal, it's time to walk." Gu Shef, who was sitting next to Lin Jun, said.

Lin Jun nodded, and Alyosha, who was in the passenger seat in the front seat after the car stopped, was the first to get out of the car and open the door for him. The troops who were maintaining the order of the ferry in the distance had already spotted this somewhat peculiar convoy, and someone said to the officer: "Look, a big man is coming." ”

Because it was on the front line, Lin Jun's car did not hang the "Marshal of the Soviet Union", otherwise it would cause a greater sensation.

Just a few steps away, a captain came to report. After listening to the report, Lin Jun ordered: "Go on, let the troops pass through the ferry as soon as possible." ”

At this time, a group of soldiers dressed in Siberian suede uniforms passed by, all of them equipped with new equipment, infantry squads with AK47 assault rifles and пд 7.62 mm light machine guns, reinforced with RPG-7 rocket launchers. A group of jeeps and trucks behind them were also pulling 76.2mm cannons, and Lin Jun also saw an artillery company with an 82mm mortar barrel and base on his back.

All the soldiers saluted Lin Junxing, and Lin Jun saw that most of them were eighteen or nineteen years old, at most twenty-one and twelve, except for junior commanders such as squad and platoon leaders, all of whom had only been trained for a year or two.

As long as they are given a chance, a chance to truly experience the test of blood and fire, this will be an army that can attack all in front and defend as solid as a rock! Young soldiers around 20 years old, with a year or two of military experience, fighting under the leadership of a junior commander composed of a group of veterans, such a unit can be said to be extremely capable of attacking, because they are not afraid of sacrifice at all, and there is only one belief in their hearts - to completely eliminate the fascists!

Such troops will also have a high casualty rate in battle, so they need to go through a real combat test!

Lin Jun saw a big stone on the side of the road, he walked over and stood on it, and shouted to the soldiers who walked in front of him: "Young men, after crossing the river, you will be Vilnius, where the fascist heavy army is waiting for you." I ask you, boys, to destroy them, to destroy the fascists, to shove them all into hell! ”

It's okay not to speak, but now the team in front of them stopped, and everyone shouted "Ula", three times in a row!

Lin Jun could only wave his hand, "Go south, go forward, take Vilnius, and plant the red flag on the top of Gediminas Mountain!" ”

"The Motherland is watching you, the people are watching you, Stalin is watching you!"

The warriors didn't know which mountain was Gediminas, but they knew what it meant. Lin Jun's slightest interference with the process of crossing the river is more beneficial than disadvantageous: in just one minute, the entire crossing returned to normal order, but in a long distance, the soldiers were telling each other: Marshal Plunyakov is at the crossing, watching us!

Lin Jun's arrival was a complete explosive mobilization of morale, and the soldiers even felt their blood boiling, eager to meet the fascist bayonets now! (To be continued.) )
