Arc of Gunfire

After the chief of general staff finished cursing, he glanced at the curious crowd, and then said to General Turgenev: "You come to organize the exchange meeting."

Admiral Turgenev: "What happened? Who is back?"

Chief of General Staff Tukhachev did not answer, and strode away with the staff officer who came to report the news.

————

Seeing this situation, Wang Zhong stood up and followed him out.

The chief of general staff was probably in a hurry and did not notice Wang Zhong at all. He walked with wind on his feet, as if he were entering the final sprint of an Olympic walking competition.

Wang Zhong, a young man, had to take two quick steps to catch up with Lao Deng.

At first, he was worried that it would be too obvious, but as a result, many people came out of the next room on the road and walked in the same direction.

Marshal Xie Miao saw Wang Zhong when he came out of the room, but he obviously thought that Wang Zhong was called by the Chief of Staff, so he ignored him and said directly to the Chief of Staff: "He actually left the troops and ran back! If he If he dies in the encirclement, we can still save his wife and children.”

Wang Zhong frowned slightly.

Could it be...that thing is back?

His anger rose instantly.

The group of people just broke into the reception room.

Crown Princess Olga was already in the reception room. She was standing in front of General Skorobo, her face was red with anger, and she had obviously just exploded.

Seeing everyone coming in, the princess turned around and went to the window to enjoy the cool air.

Tukhachev glanced at the back of the princess, glared at General Skorobo and cursed: "Why are you back? Do you still have the nerve to come back?"

General Skorobo was sweating: "I think someone needs to take responsibility for this defeat, so..."

Chief of General Staff Tukhachev: "Do you still have a reason? To take responsibility? Do you think saying this can cover up the fact that you gave up your troops and fled? You coward!"

General Skorobo seemed to be stimulated when he heard the word coward: "I am not a coward! I can lead a tank corps to rescue the siege! I will die on the battlefield like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Wang Zhong: "That's nice to say!"

Everyone turned to look at him. Only now did Tukhachev notice him, his face full of surprise.

Wang Zhong walked directly to General Skorobo: "Leading a tank corps? Didn't you kill too many tank corps? There were so many T34s and KV1s in the Sixth Tank Army and the Eleventh Tank Army. How many enemies were destroyed in total? ?How many?

"When the enemy's armored group arrived in front of me, not even a speck of paint had fallen off! The 5th, 6th, and 11th Tank Corps that launched the counterattack were wasted!"

General Skorobo said angrily: "How much damage the counterattack has caused to the enemy needs a detailed assessment. You cannot rely on your own feelings, Major General Rokossov!"

Wang Zhong: "Then let the plane fly over the plain and see if those tank wreckage are with inclined armor or vertical armor! Let them count them carefully!"

General Skorobo kept his mouth shut, because aerial reconnaissance had confirmed that many Ant tanks had indeed been destroyed.

At this time, the Patriarch and several cardinals came with the junior officers who had participated in the experience exchange meeting.

The reception room, which originally seemed empty due to its huge size, was suddenly half filled.

Wang Zhong didn't even look at the door and continued to roar: "The reason for this result is because some of our commanders are not familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of our tanks at all, thinking that our tanks won the armor-and-gun confrontation. It will definitely crush the enemy!

"Some commanders have no idea how poor the battlefield situational awareness of the T34 tank is because the commander has been eliminated! They have no idea how much of an advantage the enemy's radio brings!"

The officers brought by the Patriarch, including many tank soldiers, nodded when they heard Wang Zhong's words.

General Skorobo retorted: "You know, did you say it?"

"I said it! I spent the whole night writing the experience summary report! Did you read it? No, you didn't read it, because this is the last experience summary report! You also said in front of the crown prince that as long as there is If you get T34, you can drive the Proscenians home!”

General Skorobo retorted with a trembling voice: "But you also reported that T34 and KV armor have huge advantages in confrontation with enemy tanks..."

Wang Zhong: "Yes, it is indeed a huge advantage. That's why I was able to use more than 30 T34 tanks to destroy so many enemy tanks in Aolachi! Let the plane go and see how many enemy tanks there are in the wilderness of Aolachi." The wreckage!

"Even if the enemy's maintenance personnel have repaired a considerable part of them now, a large number of wreckage can still be seen on the plains!

"I, an infantry division, strengthened a battalion of tanks and destroyed more enemy tanks than the entire Southwest Front! More than the entire Southwest Front! Those KVs and T34s of the Sixth and Eleventh Tank Corps could have caused huge damage to the enemy. s damage!

"Just because of an incompetent idiot, they are now a wreck in the fields of Kozalia!"

Tukhachev glanced at Marshal Semyon.

The marshal stood up and said: "Okay, these can all be written in the post-war summary. General Skorobo, you will be tried by a military court. Do it well..."

Wang Zhong interrupted the marshal loudly: "No! As early as July, I pointed out that the enemy might go south to outflank Agsukov. General Skorobo slandered me, dismissed my opinion, and then arranged for our most advanced The tanks launched a reckless attack and were wiped out in vain.

"If those tanks were under my command and fortified in appropriate places, the enemy would not be able to push them away.

"Now the entire Southwest Front is surrounded, but he ran away. With such an action, I doubt-"

Wang Zhong took a deep breath.

"I suspect that he is a Prosin spy! When I broke out in Ronezh, I met a Prosin spy disguised as our army's bishop and inquisitor. I suspect that the Prosin spy has infiltrated us into thousands of wounds. Hundreds of holes.”

Tukhachev sneered: "Absurd, I've known Skorobo since he was in the military academy."

"It's not impossible." Belinsky suddenly joined the conversation, "General Skorobo led the tank troops to participate in the Castilian Civil War, where there were many opportunities to contact the Prosen Army who also participated in the civil war."

General Skorobo said angrily: "This is slander!"

Marshal Semyon: "This is a very serious accusation, Major General Rokossov."

The marshal deliberately did not mention the Patriarch, as if this was just an accusation made by Wang Zhong alone.

"This kind of accusation requires evidence."

said the marshal.

Wang Zhong pursed his lips. He really had no evidence. He just said this on a whim.

General Skorobo sneered: "Can't you see it yet? This is Major General Rokossov's usual trick. He said it himself. He shot spies disguised as bishops and inquisitors of our army.

"But who knows if he was a spy? Maybe the bishop and the inquisitor were just trying to prevent him from escaping from Ronezh! Then he thought about the spies' names and shot them!

"He might be thinking the same thing now, and he's going to pull out his pistol and shoot me because I ran away like him!

"Pull out your gun, Rokosov! Is that a toy on your waist? If you believe that I am a spy, pull out your gun! Then shoot here!"

Skorob pointed to his forehead.

Wang Zhong was also on top, and the anger that had been brewing just now gathered into a volcano and erupted violently.

He pulled out his gun and pointed it at General Skorobo.

Everyone was shocked.

Marshal Xie Miao roared: "What do you want to do? Draw a gun at the Summer Palace?"

General Skorobo seemed to have won and said with a smile: "Look! All the accusations are groundless! He just wants to lynch me! Because in his opinion, it was me who killed his father!"

"This is a personal vendetta! This guy talks all about Ant and seems to be worried about the country and the people, but in fact he just wants to avenge his father!

"Her Royal Highness Princess Olga, remember his ugly appearance at this time! He drew a gun in the sacred summer palace and ignored the dignity of the royal family."

Princess Olga turned around and looked at Wang Zhong, looking like she wanted him to shoot.

General Skorobo is still showing off: "Come on, shoot Rokossov. After shooting, you will be someone who despises the royal family. All your glory can't save you! Shoot Alexey Konstan." Dinovich Rokosov!”

Wang Zhong opened fire.

The first shot penetrated General Skorob's chest, and then as the muzzle of the gun was raised, the second shot just hit Skorob's throat, and the third shot hit his head.

After three shots, Wang Zhong's pistol jammed, and the brass cartridge case got stuck on the ejection window.

General Skorobo knelt on the ground before falling backward.

Guards who heard the gunfire burst through the door.

Belinsky: "Calm down!"

The guards stopped.

Belinsky stepped forward, pressed down Wang Zhong's gun hand, and took away the jammed gun: "What I just said is that this matter should be handed over to the court.

"You are too impulsive. The report says that you shot the enemy's fake bishop and inquisitor, and also shot Boyer's servant who prevented you from defending...and now you have added a general. It seems that you will not be able to enter the summer palace in the future. No more guns."

Wang Zhong: "He asked for it."

Belinsky: "He asked because shooting would really benefit him. Fortunately, you killed him. If you hadn't, there would have been a lot of trouble."

For some reason, Wang Zhong always felt that Belinsky was very happy.

At this time, Tukhachev finally got out of his shock and said angrily: "This is a serious act of rebellion! A major general actually shot his superior, a general, in public! Major General Rokossov must be tried by a military court! "

Belinsky: "He just acted improperly, but there is no big problem in shooting a spy and traitor. These are extraordinary times after all."

Tukhachev: "This..."

The Patriarch looked at the Chief of General Staff: "You are so eager to protect the traitors and want to try the generals who have made great contributions. It seems that the Inquisition needs to examine your family relationships and private life."

Tukhachev sweatdropped. literal.

The Patriarch continued: "According to the order issued by His Majesty the Tsar, all traitors need to sit with their immediate family members. Cardinal Ravkid, please go and implement it."

The bespectacled Cardinal bowed slightly: "As you command, Your Majesty."

After speaking, the high priest pulled the trigger of Wang Zhong's gun, skillfully eliminated the fault, then turned off the safety, and returned the gun to Wang Zhong: "Remember in the future, don't be so impulsive, and think more."

After speaking, Belinsky nodded his head slightly.
