Arc of Gunfire

When Wang Zhong entered the sanctuary, his hair was still dripping with water.

Su Fang saw him come in and opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly remembered that she was on the line, so she winked at the female chaplain next to her.

Wang Zhong was very surprised: "What do you mean? She can't speak now?"

The female chaplain explained: "She is now in sync with the hymn monks in the capital. When she speaks, people over there will say the same thing, and vice versa."

Wang Zhong nodded and asked again: "So what did she say just now?"

Another chaplain came to Wang Zhong with a notebook.

The notebook read: "Princess Olga Nikolaevna Antonovna asked General Rokossov's troops whether they needed help and what kind of help they needed."

Wang Zhong turned his head and looked at Pavlov.

He decided to ask when the support would arrive first.

Even if the princess wanted to send two hundred T34s, it would take time - and they would be intercepted by the enemy's air force on the way.

Wang Zhong: "Your Highness, how long will it take for our reinforcements to arrive?"

Su Fang immediately repeated Wang Zhong's words, like a parrot.

Then she fell silent, and it was obvious that the other party was also discussing how to answer.

It can be expected that in the current situation, it will take a lot of effort to send reinforcements to Orachi.

While waiting, Wang Zhong gradually had an idea of ​​what kind of reinforcements he should want - there is a kind of reinforcement that can ignore the situation on the battlefield and arrive in Orachi tomorrow and play a role.

When Wang Zhong made up his mind, the response from the other side also came. Su Fang said: "General, considering the current situation on the battlefield, we can only send reinforcements to Shepetovka first, and then Duke Myshkin will organize the transportation. If we set off now, we can reach Shepetovka at dawn the day after tomorrow."

In other words, no matter what, it will not arrive until the day after tomorrow - after all, even Her Highness the Princess cannot get what Wang Zhong needs immediately, and immediately form a train, and it will take time to load the train after forming the train.

Just as Wang Zhong was about to speak, Su Fang said, "In addition, I have intercepted 30 T34s that were just produced from the factory. They are being assembled into trains and will probably depart tomorrow."

See, Wang Zhong thought, it is indeed impossible to send them immediately. It will be the day after tomorrow when these 30 T34s arrive in Shepetovka.

Sure enough, what we should ask for most now is the kind of reinforcements that we just thought of!

It will arrive tomorrow, and it will be effective!

Wang Zhong: "Your Highness, we are in urgent need of air force support now. I have received air force support in Loktov and Upper Peniye. I need MiG-3 to attack the enemy's high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, and I need Il-2 to clear the enemies on the ground.

"I hope they will appear over Orachi tomorrow! In addition, I also need reconnaissance aircraft to detect the enemy's artillery positions!"

After Wang Zhong finished speaking, Su Fang almost finished reciting, and the whole sanctuary fell silent again.

This time the response came quickly.

Su Fang: "Is this all you need?"

Wang Zhong: "These are the most urgent at the moment! I have two armored divisions in front of me, two! Moreover, we have just been bombarded by 21CM heavy artillery, which is the enemy's army-level heavy artillery. Tomorrow we may face the enemy's army's main force!" When he said this, Pavlov and Popov both widened their eyes, because there was no reconnaissance report indicating that they would be attacked by the main force of the army tomorrow. Wang Zhong was just bragging, first exaggerating the situation to be as critical as an egg, and then he could easily take bribes. This time the reply came quickly: "I understand, I will immediately make a request to the Air Force. I promise that our aircraft will cover you tomorrow. Any other requests?" Wang Zhong gestured to Pavlov: "I need the following supplies!" Pavlov took out his little notebook and began to read. Su Fang repeated it, but she suddenly stopped halfway through. Wang Zhong hurriedly urged: "You continue reading!" "It's broken." Su Fang replied, "It's been too long." Wang Zhong: "Can such a connection be established?" Popov answered on behalf of Su Fang: "This requires a lot of resources for mass, and we can't do it now. "

Su Fang added: "And I just had such a synchronous communication. I don't think I can recite poetry for a while."

She yawned and showed fatigue.

It can be seen that this connection consumes her spirit.

These supernatural things in this world are in a state of being useful, but not "so" useful.

Is the magic arrow powerful? It is powerful, but when hitting ground targets, people will be blinded by smoke. When hitting air targets, the enemy can still escape by flying at a very low altitude. After all, except for Ekaterina, other people need to establish continuous visual contact.

Is Brother Peter's ear powerful? That is also powerful, but it is just so-so.

And Su Fang's communication is the same. Is it powerful? Of course it is powerful. Before, the small unit of Wang Zhong without Su Fang in Upper Peniye had been eliminated.

But the last time he was able to shake a KV was because Wang Zhong's brother was a staff officer at the front headquarters.

And this communication method has so many restrictions.

In this situation, he can't ask for more. Wang Zhong nodded to Su Fang: "Have a good rest. You have helped a lot. "

Sufang smiled and looked very happy.

Nellie stared at her intently, like a cat that found a threat, with her fur raised and her hissing threateningly.

Wang Zhong ignored this small Shura field and turned around and said to Pavlov: "As long as His Highness can bring the air force here, tomorrow will be much easier. Just driving away the enemy's reconnaissance planes will be a big help."

Pavlov smiled and said: "Of course. But I'm really worried that the lie you just told will come true. Tomorrow we will directly face the main force of the Second Armored Group. Even with the air force, it will probably be very difficult to fight."

Wang Zhong waved his hand: "It's okay. Duke Meishkin fought well! He will attract the main force of the enemy's second armored group!"

Pavlov nodded: "Yes, thanks to Duke Myshkin, I want to drink to the Duke's health."

"Something good happened, let's have a sip." Wang Zhong turned to Neli, "How about a sip today?"

Nellie: "Drinking a little will help you sleep, I'm fine with that."

Wang Zhong laughed, and it seemed that he was really happy. After all, he might receive air force support tomorrow.

He hugged Nellie and rubbed her head vigorously.

Nellie stepped back in horror, grabbing her boat-shaped hat that was rubbed to the side with her hands.

But Wang Zhong turned directly to talk to Pavlov.

"We are going to attack Aorach with all our strength." General Heinz Wilhelm von Moltke said to the division commanders, "leaving two panzergrenadier divisions to contain the heavy force group in Shepetovka. They are mainly Infantry, lacking the ability to advance in the open field."

The cluster chief of staff added: "Aerial reconnaissance shows that they still have a tank corps mobile force, but it can be dealt with by bombers and 88-guns."

General Moltke: "Thank you for your addition. Tomorrow we will put in the current Amphula Division and the remaining troops of the 16th Army, as well as the 23rd Army and 12th Army.

“Whether we capture Orachi or not, the main force of the cluster will move south beyond Orachi.

"His Majesty the Emperor's 'good idea' has greatly delayed our rush to the enemy's capital. We can't waste any more time. Being blocked by the enemy here for two days is already too long for us! Too long!"

At this time, the communications staff entered the conference room. After saluting, he reported: "The artillery brigade reinforced for the Amphula Division was hit by enemy fire and lost two 21CM heavy artillery and one 17CM heavy artillery. Several other personnel were lost and are currently being transferred. position."

General Moltke: "What's going on? Does the enemy conduct aerial reconnaissance? How could the artillery position be discovered?"

"The artillery brigade deployed on the side of the road, and the Ante Army used Xu Jin barrage to cover the entire road. Another 23 units were also shelled by the enemy on the way."

General Mao Qi frowned: "What happened! What's the loss?"

"Slightly, because it was Xu Jin's barrage and did not repeatedly bombard the same section of the marching column, and there was time to disperse to avoid the artillery fire. However, the launch of the 23-pack report in Aolachi will be later than scheduled."

General Moltke scolded: "No! Let them launch according to the original time! When I made the plan, I left redundancy to deal with this kind of thing! We will surround Orachi tomorrow morning! This small group of enemies must be To completely destroy the army is like smashing a walnut with a hammer!”

After a brief pause, he added: "Don't be afraid of enemy shelling! Keep moving forward on the road. As long as we are fast enough, the enemy will not be able to cause enough losses to us!"

At 0430 hours on August 5, in Orachi City.

Although Wang Zhong drank some wine yesterday, his biological clock still made him wake up at this time.

I don't know if it was because of drinking or because he felt relieved because of the air force support. Anyway, Wang Zhong slept very well last night. When he opened his eyes, he felt that he had never been more energetic than now.

He had just put on his clothes and was about to call Nellie when the roar of shells piercing the air came.

Wang Zhong lay on the ground without saying a word, and the next moment a dense rain of bullets fell in the city.

"Damn!" Wang Zhong shouted, "Didn't we hit the enemy's artillery position yesterday? Why are there so many heavy artillery?"

Of course because it was an artillery brigade.

The bombardment lasted about an hour.

When the explosion subsided, Wang Zhong stood up, and Nellie opened the door and came in at this time: "Are you okay?"

"Why do you still hope that something will happen to me?" Wang Zhong said, casually putting on his shoes and leaving the bedroom with a quick stride.

Nellie: "Don't you want to have breakfast?"

Wang Zhong: "If you fire the gun so early, something must have happened."

With that said, he rushed to the first floor and broke into the map room.

Pavlov held the phone with a serious face: "How many troops? How many troops did you see?"

Wang Zhong grabbed the receiver and said, "I'm Rokossov. What did you see?"

While he was asking, he had already switched to a bird's-eye view, and found that the view over Hill 153 was bright. It seemed that the other end of the phone was the artillery observation post on Hill 153.

He immediately checked the situation and was stunned.

It's not that his own vision can't highlight the enemies, but the number of enemies is now so large that he can see the huge number of enemies without highlighting.

A "giant wave" composed of enemy armor and skirmishers is rushing toward Highland 153.

The other side of the phone was shouting: "I am the 153 Highland Observation Post. A huge number of enemies are coming towards me! A huge number of enemies! Please fire immediately! Please fire immediately!"
