Rumble!

With the first sound of artillery, the attack of the Czech principality on Klaipeda officially began, and the large-caliber howitzers were followed by the scene of the army charge, and the city of Klaipeda was in chaos.

When the cannon sounded, Mayor Klaipeda was discussing with the head of the garrison about the transportation of weapons and ammunition, and the sound of the cannon and the sudden shaking of the ground made them stunned for a moment, and then their faces changed as if they thought of something, especially the head of the garrison ran outside without hesitation.

After all, Klaipeda is a harbor city, and at the same time, it is also a relatively close to the front line, although the garrison in the city is not too much, but there is also a main force of the army, and it is not a big problem to fight street battles and defend for a while.

The division of labor between the head of the garrison and the mayor of Klaipeda was clear: the former summoned troops to prepare for a surprise attack, while the latter contacted St. Petersburg for support. At this time, the head of the garrison actually made a mistake, he mistakenly believed that the enemy was attacking from the sea, after all, there were so many Russian troops on the front line, and it was impossible for the German army to bypass them and attack Klaipėda.

Because of this thought, the head of the Klaipeda garrison gave the order to gather at the port, and when he happened that the enemy was coming from land and not sea, it was too late to transfer the soldiers back, and the soldiers of the Royal Army Division of the Czech Duchy had already rushed into Klaipėda.

The senior commanders of the Royal Army Division of the Czech Principality did not expect that things would go so smoothly, they were not cruel butchers and robbers, and the commanders would try their best to keep such a beautiful city, and if it was replaced by German commanders, it would probably be another way to deal with it.

In fact, this is wrong, after all, soldiers are war machines, and they can't have the slightest mercy in their hearts, because that will only make their combat effectiveness decrease and casualties increase, especially in urban street fighting, but if you have a little mercy, then you may die.

The senior commanders of the Royal Army of the Czech Principality should be grateful to the heavens, because they attacked Klaipąda, who was not loyal to Russia, and not to mention how likely the army here is to fight to the death, just because ordinary citizens only know that they are afraid to dodge and do not carry out any suicide attacks can reduce the losses of the soldiers of the Czech Principality a lot.

If you change this to the Kingdom of Serbia in the Balkans, then the street fighting is probably a national battle, and even a child is likely to be the culprit who kills you.

Because the ordinary citizens had no desire to resist, and because the Russian army was still gathering at the port, the Royal Czech Army Division quickly occupied more than half of the city, including the mayor of Klaipeda, who was contacting reinforcements everywhere, had become prisoners.

It was also a coincidence, no one expected that the Royal Czech Army would come so quickly, Mayor Klaipeda and the soldiers stationed in the city government became prisoners without preparation, and when they saw the soldiers of the Royal Czech Army who rushed through the door, the stunned expression on the face of Mayor Klaipeda was very ridiculous.

"I want to see your commander!"

This is a sentence that the mayor of Klaipeda has been repeating, but the soldiers guarding him ignore it, now that most of the city has been taken, the task of the commanders is to quickly command the soldiers to take the rest of the city, who has the heart to pay attention to this old guy at this time?

From angry yells to feeble shouts and finally to a frustrated silence, it was only half an hour for Mayor Klaipeda, during which the Royal Czech Army had already exchanged fire with Klaipąda's garrison.

Klaipeda Seaport Area:

"It's the army of the Czech principalities, they are very well armed, and we have suffered heavy casualties!"

The sound of machine gun fire, the shelling of small-caliber mortars, and the shouts of battle all made the battlefield noisy, and the Russian captain who came to report the news had to shout to make his superiors understand the situation ahead.

"The army of the Czech principalities? How did they end up here, could it be that the front line has already been defeated? It can't be, they must have come around from somewhere, it must be! ”

The panicked Russian commander didn't know that in fact, the robbery of the train had been contacted by Klaipeda, but the person in charge of the train station was assassinated by the assassins of the Fallen Wings, and the police in Klaipeda were so bad that until now they have not found out that all the relevant personnel at the train station have died. Of course, this is normal, after all, the train station is very busy during this time, and not returning home for a night will not arouse the suspicion of the families of these deceased.

The intensive strafing of machine guns has hardly stopped, and the Russian troops who have simply been equipped have not been able to raise their heads at all, and one position after another has fallen, and now the port area may be the only remaining piece of land in the entire Klaipeda.

At noon, the fire in the Czech principality was finally extinguished, and before the Russian officers could relax in one breath, the loudspeaker sounded from the opposite side, and the Russian soldiers were panicked for a while. Most of them are made up of local youth, and their families are under the control of the Czech principality.

"How many more people do we have? How long does it take for reinforcements to arrive? ”

At this time, the morale of the army was already unstable, and the commander of the Russian army had to make a decision, he understood that even if he insisted, he would not hold out for too long, there were too many things he needed to consider, and how many people and reinforcements were left was an important factor in his decision.

Answering the commander's questions, a division chief looked at the tattered and crumpled notebook in his hand and said that there were still more than 800 soldiers who could fight, and more than 600 casualties.

How can a regiment have only more than 1,500 soldiers? In fact, this is only the assembled soldiers, not counting the hundreds left behind in the city of Klaipeda, and some escaped to their homes during the assembly process and did not follow, so there are only more than 1,500 soldiers.

How could more than 800 soldiers fight against tens of thousands of well-armed Czech soldiers ...... 800 soldiers? The secretary did not say anything about the reinforcements, then it was clear that the reinforcements would not arrive at all in a short time, and it was already obvious that there was no doubt about how to decide whether to surrender or hold on next.

When the white flag was hoisted out, the senior Czech officers could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, there were many things in the port area, and unless they were directly blown up, they would need to pay considerable casualties to attack them, which was a result that the senior Czech officers did not want to see.

Including the surrendered and captured soldiers in the city of Klaipąda, the Czech principality now has more than 2,500 Russian prisoners in its hands, who will be placed in Klaipeda prison to wait for the end of the war.

This time the Czech principality gained a lot, Klaipeda was only temporarily excluded, and the real value was that it was enough to assemble more than 5 Russian army divisions and countless ammunition and uniforms. Of course, there is also a big gift of several warships docked in the harbor.

These warships are all new warships that have just left the factory and have not yet been put into the army, and it is estimated that even Nicholas II would not have thought that these behemoths would have reached the hands of the Czech principality before they had made contributions to Russia.

Klaipeda is a good place, and the senior commanders of the army of the Czech principality are suddenly a little reluctant to see here, but what if they are reluctant, they still need to leave here in the end. And at this time, a chief of staff suddenly made a proposal, and after discussion, several senior commanders thought that it could be implemented.

On the morning of the second day of the attack on Klaipąda, the senior commanders of the Czech principality met with the mayor of Klaipeda, who had been placed under house arrest, and walked out of his office with a complicated expression. Later, the city government of Klaipeda announced an order that Klaipeda would secede from Russia and form its own kingdom of Lithuania. Of course, at this time, there was no king in the Kingdom of Lithuania, and even Klaipeda himself was only the temporary prime minister of the Kingdom of Lithuania.

Several local officers who had been imprisoned were also released, and after interviews and interviews, they found out the local young soldiers from among the captives, plus more than 1,000 newly recruited, and thus the Lithuanian Defense Forces were formed, and the Royal Army of the Czech Principality was invited to select elite soldiers to help them train their recruits.

It is estimated that no one would have thought that the nonsense of a few senior commanders would cause much trouble to Russia in the future, but even if it is known, these senior commanders will still do this, after all, it is only good for the Czech principality, not harmful.

Battalion Commander David Pussin, who knew about the city of Klaipeda, also knew about it, but he had no time to care about it, because it was the third day of the fall of Klaipda, and Russian reinforcements were already 3 kilometers away from them. Although the number of reinforcements is not very large, there are more than 20,000, and how many of them are there? 800 only!

On the one hand, he warned Klaipeda and asked for help, on the other hand, David Pussing was very nervous about the deployment of the defensive line, the machine guns were properly placed, the artillery was hidden, the soldiers responsible for destroying the tanks were being tutored by the clergy, and the beauty and reality of heaven made them no longer afraid of death.

For Ernst, Christianity was a steel sword, a steel knife that fit for purpose, and the clergy had become indirect executioners. They were reluctant but they could not do anything about it, and there was a saying that although they were very reluctant to admit it, it was true, that there was only one God in the Czech principality, and that was Ernst Franz.
