Arc of Gunfire

Although the crown prince turned and left, Wang Zhong and Lyudmila followed him to the main entrance of the east wing of the manor's main building.

On the one hand, it was basic etiquette to see the royal family out, and on the other hand, Wang Zhong also had to go out, and there was no other exit in the east wing - he couldn't jump out of the window.

When he reached the door, the crown prince turned around and looked at Wang Zhong: "I have a question, after this war is over, can we still drink like before?"

Wang Zhong: "Of course, after the victory of this war, we will drink day and night."

The crown prince nodded, and the jeep that came to pick him up had arrived, so he walked down the stairs at the door and got in the car, and then turned back and smiled at Wang Zhong.

The car started and gradually went away.

Then Gregory drove the jeep over and stopped in front of the door.

Wang Zhong said goodbye to Lyudmila, opened the door and got in the car.

Lyudmila hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Deputy Knight Yetsemenko said that we can have a day off today. Can I go with him?"

Wang Zhong thought about it and it seemed that there was no big problem. Besides, he would visit the families of the fallen soldiers later. It would be convenient to comfort the female family members with a girl by his side.

So he nodded, and Lyudmila immediately smiled and trotted over to get in the car.

Wang Zhong reminded: "Don't hug my arm later. You are wearing a military uniform! I have to maintain the dignity of the general!"

Lyudmila saluted: "Yes, General!"

Wang Zhong nodded and said to Gregory: "Let's go, let's go to the Agsukov Logistics Command Building first."

————

The Logistics Command Building is actually larger than the fertilizer factory building that Wang Zhong and his team used as a front-line command post in Loktov. It looks like it can hold on for a long time.

There is an anti-aircraft artillery position in the yard where the building is located, but Wang Zhong doubts the significance of setting up the anti-aircraft artillery here. If the enemy plane wants to bomb the logistics headquarters, it must have dropped bombs long ago, and this anti-aircraft artillery will not play any role at all.

Gregory bypassed the anti-aircraft gun position and stopped in front of the headquarters.

The guard immediately stepped forward and saluted Wang Zhong: "Please show your ID!"

Wang Zhong took out his ID and said: "I checked it when I entered the door, why are you checking it here again?"

The guard replied expressionlessly: "It was requested by Lieutenant General Chekhov, the commander of the military station."

Wang Zhong didn't say much. At this time, there were all kinds of people, and there might be saboteurs and spies. It wouldn't be wrong to be careful.

After showing his ID, Wang Zhong got out of the car and walked into the headquarters. After two steps, he saw a huge blackboard in the lobby on the first floor, which wrote the main functions of each floor.

Wang Zhong looked around and didn't find Lieutenant General Chekhov's office, so he asked the guard who had just checked his ID: "Where is Lieutenant General Chekhov?"

"The Lieutenant General is in the General Allocation Department. His office is with the accountants."

Wang Zhong looked at the location of the Allocation Department on the blackboard and strode towards the stairs.

The dispatching department arrived soon. Wang Zhong knocked on the door, and a man wearing glasses and with clerk epaulettes on his shoulders opened the door immediately: "General, who are you looking for?"

Wang Zhong: "I'm looking for Lieutenant General Chekhov. The guard said his office is together with the dispatching department."

Just as the clerk was about to answer, a loud shout came from the room: "Tell him to go to the first floor to get the form! Fill it out and stamp it and hand it in to the application office on the first floor. Really, they keep running to my office. I've moved out of my own office, but they still keep coming!"

Wang Zhong: "Is it okay to stamp the application form with the personal stamp of the crown prince?"

The voice inside stopped abruptly.

Five seconds later, the tall man with a gloomy face pushed the clerk away and opened the door: "Don't apply for ingredients for the banquet here, go to the granary!"

Looking at the rank, this is Lieutenant General Chekhov.

Wang Zhong: "I need weapons, ammunition, and bedding. Thousands of new recruits were sent to me today, all without weapons or uniforms! Are they going to let the new recruits wear their own clothes to fight?"

Lieutenant General Chekhov looked incredulous: "The Crown Prince is going to fight in person? What unit are you? Royal Guards? I haven't heard of any casualties?"

Wang Zhong: "I am Major General Alexei Konstantinovich Rokosov, commander of the 151st Provisional Infantry Division. The 31st Guards Regiment and the 5th Peshensk Regiment under my command have suffered heavy losses, and we have just added thousands of soldiers. Am I clear?"

General Chekhov Frowning, he looked at Wang Zhong again: "Are you the prodigal Rokosov who has returned to his roots? Well, you look like you have fought in the war, not fake. But you still have to fill out the application form, otherwise how can I know what you want? Ivan! Go get the application form! Form No. 34!"

Wang Zhong: "Can't we do it specially? I have the seal of the crown prince."

Chekhov: "This is already a special case. After you fill out the form, the dispatcher here will check where the supplies are for you, and then issue the warehouse and transportation orders to the lower level. Generally, you can get the supplies tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

"I mean, if we have them here."

Wang Zhong: "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

"Why, are you going to meet the enemy tomorrow?" Lieutenant General Chekhov asked back.

Wang Zhong: "Ah no, I just lamented that it's so slow. Can't you send a clerk to help me write it?"

"See where there is a clerk available? "

Wang Zhong looked into the room and found that the whole room was filled with the feeling of a mobile game company in the future working non-stop the night before the new version was updated.

Lyudmila said: "I will write it, you just read it."

At this time, the clerk who had just opened the door came over with a stack of application forms.

Chekhov scolded: "There is also a list of supplies! Do you expect the major general to report the names of the dishes out of thin air?"

So two minutes later, a thick stack of forms came into Lyudmila's hands, and a list of materials as thick as Cihai was handed to Wang Zhong.

Fortunately, there are a bunch of tags next to the list, so you can quickly turn to the corresponding page according to the first letter of the needed supplies.

Chekhov pointed to the table next to his desk: "That table is the 'Special Affairs Table'. You fill it in!"

Good guy, it seems that there are quite a few people who do special things every day!

Lyudmila immediately pulled out the chair in front of the table, picked up a pen and tried it on the note pad next to her. Then she looked at Wang Zhong and indicated with her eyes that she was ready.

Wang Zhongze turned to the page of anti-tank guns and read: "ZIS-3 anti-tank guns..."

Chekhov: "Wait a minute, does your division have an anti-tank artillery regiment?"

Wang Zhong: "No. But this is not..."

"Then you should go to the front army headquarters and ask for an artillery regiment. It's much easier than asking for artillery to build a regiment from me. Do you know how many cannons, ammunition trucks and mules and horses an artillery regiment of 2,000 people requires? Get it all from me. If you want to apply, you will probably have to fill out half of the form in your hand.”

Wang Zhong thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

Lieutenant General Chekhov: “My suggestion is that you first apply for weapons, machine guns, mortars, military uniforms, military boots, and other miscellaneous items to arm the two infantry regiments.

"Then ask the headquarters for guns, anti-tank gun battalions or anti-tank gun regiments, and howitzer regiments. If you want to come over, just fill them up."

Wang Zhong held his chin: "We shouldn't just rob equipment, we should rob everyone. Is that what you mean?"

Lieutenant General Chekhov: "Absolutely. In fact, this is the best solution. You already have the crown prince's seal. As long as you don't grab the troops under the division structure, and focus on the troops that have not yet been assigned, it should be fine. !

"Now many of Agsukov's technical weapons units that have not been assigned yet are waiting to be incorporated into a newly formed division."

Wang Zhong: "You mean, I came to the wrong place?"

"We still need uniforms and rifles." Lyudmila interrupted, "Okay, I've filled out the rifle form, can I just hand it over to the clerk over there?"

Clerk: "Another item of ammunition is required. Only the rifle is not acceptable. In addition, I suggest that you also fill in the gun cleaning kit form."

Wang Zhong: "By the way, fill in the truck's order..."

Lieutenant General Chekhov: "You should go to the headquarters and ask for the automobile regiment that has not yet been established. The automobiles of a regiment can almost supply a division. I mean, if you keep running!"

Lyudmila: "The bullet is filled, is it enough for me to fill in this number?"

Lieutenant General Chekhov took a look and said: "Twice it, believe me, doubling it is at least enough."

Lyudmila quickly corrected it, handed it to the clerk, and started filling in the clothing information again.

At this time, the clerk came to Wang Zhong with the original form: "Our seal is ready, we need the crown prince's seal, and the seal pad is here."

Wang Zhong took out the ring, pressed the front side of the ring on the ink pad, pushed it back and forth, and then pressed it hard on the form.

Lieutenant General Chekhov glanced at the military uniform list that Lyudmila was filling out, and said: "I will fill in a cloth bag list later. Soldiers need cloth bags to carry daily necessities, and they can be placed at the rest station before going to the front line. "

Wang Zhong: "You...you are very experienced."

Lieutenant General Chekhov: "I have been in charge of logistics since the beginning of the civil war. I know all this. I am not one of those generals who only brag without being responsible for specific military affairs."

Wang Zhong nodded and handed the thick supply list directly to Lieutenant General Chekhov: "Then please ask the experienced Lieutenant General to tell us what we need to receive."

The lieutenant general looked at Wang Zhong with an expression of "Does your old man know you are so shameless?", but he still took the roster and started ordering supplies based on his own experience.

Wang Zhong was holding the crown prince's ring there, waiting to strike the seal.

——

When the clock on the wall struck 12 noon, Chekov closed the roster: "That's almost it. After all these materials are shipped out of the warehouse, we will arrange transportation to your station. They will probably be available tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. arrive."

Wang Zhong: "Okay, let's go to the front army headquarters to ask for troops!"

Lieutenant General Chekhov hesitated and said, "Did you contradict General Skorobo last night?"

Wang Zhong: "Yes...but it was the Patriarch who asked me to introduce the situation and express my opinion."

"Then when you go to the front army headquarters, it is best to avoid General Skorobo and go directly to the chief of staff of the front army. He is easier to talk to. If he does have the troops you need, he will give them to you."

Wang Zhong: "Understood, thank you."

As he spoke, Wang Zhong saluted Chekhov.

Chekhov responded with a salute: "By the way, don't reveal at the front headquarters that I am doing something special for you! General Skorobo is quite cautious."

Wang Zhong: "Aren't you afraid that your evaluation of him will reach his ears? There are so many people here."

Lieutenant General Chekhov smiled: "I have never dealt with him. I joined the army in the same year as him. Now I am just a logistics commander, and he is a general of the front army. It is said that before the war, His Majesty the Tsar considered promoting him to marshal."

Wang Zhong was afraid that there was no chance.

When Xiao Guyi went south, all the troops on the Southwest Front were sent.

Lieutenant General Chekhov sent Wang Zhong and Lyudmila to the door and warned again: "Go to the Chief of Staff, don't let General Skorobo see you!"

"Thank you, got it." Wang Zhong waved his hand.
