Arc of Gunfire

Wang Zhong left the main building of the manor and immediately went straight to the new tank that had just been sent to him.

When he arrived, the new tank crews and the veterans who had come down from Loktov were already mingling, chatting with each other.

As soon as Wang Zhong appeared, Alexander shouted: "The general is here!"

Alexander Yefimovich was originally the instructor of the teaching team. Although he is now Wang Zhong's gunner, his military rank has not been reduced, so he naturally assumed the role of commander.

Wang Zhong raised his hands in salute to everyone, and then ordered Alexander: "Organize an experience sharing meeting as soon as possible and explain the methods that the enemy may use to deal with us in battle, such as hitting the tracks and blocking the turret seat ring."

At this time, one of the new tank pilots asked in surprise: "Can the enemy actually deal with our new tank? I heard that this tank is invincible and can kill the enemy at will. There is a dude who is obviously scared as soon as he goes to the battlefield..."

Wang Zhong thought: Seuri, right? Is the Se-pee plot coming?

"Alexey!" the commander of the additional armored battalion spoke up, "Shut up! Who asked you to talk nonsense in the queue! Don't you care about discipline?"

The one named Alexei closed his mouth.

Wang Zhongze looked at the battalion commander and felt that this battalion commander had the qualifications of an armored division commander!

But business was more important. Wang Zhong turned to Alexander and said: "In short, we must convey all the experience to these new recruits, especially tell them the most fatal weakness of the T34, poor battlefield situational awareness! Tell them what this unfortunate two-man turret design brings What a lot of negative effects!”

Alexander: "Don't worry, General, I will make them all understand."

He looked at the tank crews: "After all, some of you were my students when you were in the armored training team."

The platoon leaders of each tank platoon's eyes were a little wandering, as if they were remembering what happened when they were training in the armored training camp.

Wang Zhong: "Also, I won't be able to do anything else for the rest of today's exchange meeting. I will prepare delicious food to entertain everyone in the evening. Eat, drink and have fun."

"Remember to arrange for everyone to inspect the tank tomorrow. I will also find a way to go to the tractor factory to find a group of masters."

The Soviet army on Earth attaches very little importance to tank maintenance. Only when the T34 is durable can the Soviet army ensure sufficient combat readiness.

On the other hand, Desan's armored battlefield maintenance is the same as that of the US military. However, the equipment is very delicate. Kursk Desan has an armored group with more than 160 new Leopards participating in the battle, and then it broke down on the road. 110 vehicles, so it basically didn’t play a big role.

In other words, Desan's support ability was forced out by the delicate equipment.

Wang Zhong is determined to change this in the Ant Empire. After all, his T34 was obtained with great difficulty. He cannot participate in the war because of poor security. This kind of thing is unacceptable!

Wang Zhong plans to use the support of the church tomorrow to hire a thousand experienced workers from the local tractor factory to repair tanks wherever they go.

It can also repair enemy tanks. If you encounter tigers and leopards later, you can repair them and use them. Even if they are not used, it is good to repair them and donate them to the museum. They can be used in the movie "Liberation" in the future.

Wang Zhong was about to leave, but Alexander stopped him: "You are the most experienced tank commander among us. Why don't you talk about it first? If you don't talk about it, none of us will be embarrassed to talk about your experience. Like me, I am basically commanded by you. The gunner only knows how many degrees to turn the turret and what target to hit.”

Wang Zhong thought for a while and nodded: "Okay! Let me tell you something! The organizers sit over and gather around you."

Alexander: "Everyone gather and form a square!"

…

Thirty minutes later.

Wang Zhong: "The above is a summary of my experience in a series of tank battles in Upper Penier and Loktov. In short, the enemy is elite and cunning. We cannot underestimate the enemy just because our tanks have a temporary advantage in armor and shell confrontation. Then You will suffer a big loss!”

Alexander: "Applause!"

The words were followed by thunderous applause.

Wang Zhong made a "quiet" gesture: "It's getting late, don't waste time, other tankers still have experience to share.

“For example, the gunners can tell where the enemy tanks are weak.

"The driver can also share what angle can be used to troubleshoot the engine and gearbox the fastest."

Wang Zhong's last sentence caused a burst of laughter. It seems that everyone knows the faults of their cars and also knows the "Ante-style maintenance method".

Wang Zhong waved his hand and turned around to leave. Just at this time, he saw a new truck driving past the road next to the lawn and heading towards the division headquarters.

So in the mood to see what was going on, Wang Zhong got into the jeep and said to Gregory: "Go to the division headquarters and have a look!"

————

Wang Zhong's jeep and the truck arrived at the division headquarters. As soon as the jeep stopped, a girl wearing a Skitarii uniform jumped out of the truck.

Skitarii, girl?

Wang Zhong was stunned.

Then more girls jumped out of the truck.

Wang Zhong looked puzzled and glanced at Lyudmila subconsciously, only to find that she was also looking at him, and the two just looked at each other.

At this time, several girls wearing monk uniforms jumped out of the car, and the last one to get off was Su Fang.

Wang Zhong then asked loudly: "Su Fang, what do these girls do?"

Su Fang smiled immediately when she saw Wang Zhong, and immediately turned into a smile when she saw Lyudmila: "General, this is the choir! Now we can continue the chanting ceremony and keep in touch with the superior choir. ! Don’t worry about missing the hymn!”

Wang Zhong glanced at the people who got off the car again: "Why are there only four poetry monks? What are the other skitarii doing?"

Su Fang: "Responsible for the chores in the ceremony, as well as the protection of the ceremony. Of course, he is also responsible for taking care of us when we have exhausted our strength by chanting poems."

"Why are they all women!" Wang Zhong asked naturally. He had obviously asked Brother Peter and Ye Tsemenko before, and both of them answered that the monks were equally male and female.

Su Fang: "The monks happened to have only female monks, so they added them to us. As for the Skitarii, because we are all women, it would be more convenient to have all female Skitarii. All in all, it's just a coincidence!"

"Ah, that's it. I thought you were sent by the Patriarch to test me!" Wang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time Lyudmila asked: "You will always stay with the division headquarters in the future, right?"

"Of course, we are a crucial means of communicating with superiors in an emergency!"

At this time, a staff officer came out from the division headquarters: "Brother Sufang Batuwendusu is the chief priest!"

"I'm here, I'm here!" Su Fang raised her right hand high, "I'm here!"

Staff Officer: "I will take you and the Skitarii to the temporary sanctuary. From now on, I will be responsible for helping you build the sanctuary."

Wang Zhong: "Sanctuary?"

Although it seemed very common sense to ask this, he still asked.

The staff officer immediately explained: "It is a temporary church. In addition to the mass held by the choir, it will also receive prayers from people suffering from shell shock or other battlefield symptoms, and treat them with hymns.

"Originally, this is the job of the priests, but there are always things that even experienced priests cannot handle."

Wang Zhong said "Oh" and made a "let's go" gesture to the staff officer. The staff officer immediately turned around and said to Su Fang and others: "Let's go this way."

The group of people walked away, and Lyudmila smiled and said: "Pavlov, the chief of staff, has someone to call upon!"

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Yes, he is finally a veritable chief of staff!"

————

As soon as he entered the map room, Wang Zhong saw Chief of Staff Pavlov humming a tune while making marks on the map.

When Wang Zhong went out to run around this morning, the map room only had a small map on the table. On the north wall of the entire map room was a luxurious map with six maps put together, which was completely different from the small map in the morning.

The entire map is covered with military symbols, almost reflecting the situation on the entire southern front.

Forget about the key map, Pavlov also added a curtain to the map, which made Wang Zhong feel that his small division headquarters had suddenly transformed from a mud house on XX slope to the Xuzhou Suppression Headquarters.

Seeing Pavlov standing in front of the map wall, Wang Zhong was almost hallucinating. The "pig's tactics", the "snake of Changshan", and the "full of vitality and all things competing" were all coming.

Thinking about it carefully, all Ant nobles like to engage in this kind of ostentation. Pavlov is also a noble, so he is naturally not exempt from the custom.

Wang Zhong decided to give him a few words of reprimand: "You have someone else! How much manpower will be wasted to create such a grand ceremony!"

Pavlov turned back: "Don't get me wrong, the military markings on the map were made by the staff, and this room was decorated by your maid."

Wang Zhong: "How could you let the maid enter the map room? What if the military secrets were leaked?"

Pavlov: "Well... I was wrong."

Vasily raised his head: "Chief of Staff is picking shit tonight!"

Wang Zhong frowned: "Why did you get into the staff?"

"I wanted to go back to be an infantry instructor," Vasily said with an innocent face. "They wouldn't let me go. They said I stayed on my front fingers most of the time during the battle and that I was a 'talent of the headquarters', so they kicked me back. So. You see, I'm still guarding the walkie-talkie you captured, but it's too far away from the front line and the walkie-talkie can't hear anything."

Just when Wang Zhong was about to comment on Vasily, something suddenly occurred to him and he asked: "How come the situation on the entire southern front has been updated today? How long does it take to go to the headquarters to copy the map?"

Pavlov took three steps, came to the side door, and gently opened the door.

Then a dense beeping sound floated out from the room.

Pavlov: "We finally have our own communications camp! This is the telegraph company, with a total of six telegraph machines. It receives and translates messages from various places at any time, and updates the map based on the messages. Now our map and front commander Just as fast.”

As he spoke, a decoder handed a telegram to the staff officer, and the staff officer immediately came to the map and updated the location and status of the 29th Group Army.

In fact, Wang Zhong had never known how the division worked in this way. He subconsciously thought that the distribution of enemy and enemy status on the map was created by himself, just like in the game - although he knew that it was definitely not the case.

Wang Zhong looked at the six high-power radio stations, listened to the beeping sound, and thought that his headquarters finally looked like a headquarters.

At this time Lyudmila asked: "Where is the judge who was in charge of the radio station before?"

Pavlov: "A division would have been equipped with a certain number of inquisitors, responsible for catching spies, catching opponents, and shooting us when we tried to commit treason. They went back to their duties."

When Pavlov mentioned "treason" and "shooting", several young staff officers working next to him were startled and couldn't help but stop writing and look over.

Wang Zhong was speechless: "I don't know whether I should be happy now or keep silent. Hey, where is your sixth-level clerk? I didn't see him!"

Pavlov made a "please" gesture, led Wang Zhong and Lyudmila to the other side of the map room, and opened the door with a click.

When the telegraph room opens, there is a beeping sound. When the telegraph room opens, there is a "bang bang" sound like a hammer hitting wood.

Wang Zhong took a closer look and realized that he was tapping a seal.

When Harry Potter 1 first entered Gringotts, there were a bunch of goblins tapping seals there, and now this room almost feels like this.

The old man, a sixth-level clerk, was shouting: "What did you do! When compiling the roster, you need to make two directories! What are you doing! Type it again!"

After yelling away a clerk, the former academic committee member looked at Wang Zhong: "General, you are so good to be here! I have something to ask you! Look, this is the roster of the fifth Beshensk regiment. Almost all the officers were wiped out, and then Many companies were also wiped out. In fact, almost all of the 81 remaining men were from the third battalion.

"Normally speaking, this kind of unit organization has been cancelled, and the people have been stuffed into other units. If you want to maintain the organization of the 5th Beshensk Regiment, you need to add officers and documents - yes, the regiment's documents!

"This is very troublesome!"

Wang Zhong: "Can't we promote the surviving 81 people on the spot? Privates to sergeants, second lieutenants to lieutenant colonels..."

"It can't be done! I checked the regulations, and I can't upgrade directly like this. Based on my experience in dealing with bureaucracies, this will never be approved. Do you want to create a unit with a second lieutenant as the regiment leader?"

Wang Zhong: "Isn't it possible? Previously, the Third Rear Amur Regiment was promoted and restored to its original form."

The sixth-level old man: "That's because the senior officers of the Third Post-Amur Regiment are better preserved! It's enough to promote experienced veterans to non-commissioned officers. But for the Fifth Beshensk Regiment, there is no way to restore its organizational structure.

“My suggestion is to change the designation of the 105th Infantry Regiment of the Skitarii to the 5th Beshensk Regiment, and in turn, insert the 81 surviving soldiers of the Beshensk Regiment as middle- and lower-level officers into the original 105 steps.”

Wang Zhong: "You mean, we need to make some changes in the paperwork? To hide the truth?"

Old man: "Yes! It will be much simpler to deal with it this way, and there is no need to submit a lot of rocket promotion application forms to the front army at once."

Wang Zhong nodded: "Okay, let's do it this way! But... does the commander of the 105th step of the Skitarii have enough military rank?"

The old man: "That's enough. He is an officer who was transferred from the civilian service in accordance with the conversion rules. He has no combat experience, but there are no problems with the documents and procedures."

It turns out that the Ant Empire also has a mechanism to convert civil servants into military positions according to their levels. No sixth-level civil servants would know this!

Wang Zhong patted Pavlov on the shoulder: "Look at the talents I have found for you! Don't say that you can't produce supplies and troops anymore!"
