Arc of Gunfire

Siegfried touched his red hair: "Be careful, Your Majesty. Ant is very vast and has great potential for war."

Reinhardt stopped: "Yes, they have great potential for war, I know. So from the beginning my goal was to destroy their fighting spirit.

"The fighting spirit they inspired by the death of the crown prince is only temporary. Without the support of a new leader, this fighting spirit will soon disappear.

"Unfortunately, they have a new leader, but they did not put this leader in the center and worship him as a spiritual symbol.

"This is our chance, Sieg. According to reliable intelligence, General Rokossov is currently in Shostka on the Duva River. This is the direction of our next attack.

"We will launch a pincer attack from the north and south with 1.8 million people and 2,000 tanks. Shostka will block the pincers on the southern front! In order to eliminate him, I will give the main force on the southern front, the Second Armored Group, two more Knights Divisions!"

Von Moltke immediately raised his head: "Thank you very much, I will not let your Majesty down."

Reinhard: "You let this Rokossov run away in your previous battle. But you didn't know at the time that he would become an important figure in boosting Ante's morale, and he also had the mission of advancing south.

"Now, you can make up for this mistake! To help you complete the task, I will also hand over the Brandenburg troops of Ottoskotz to you! This is a special force that played an important role in the initial stage of our invasion and captured many key bridges.

"You should make good use of these troops and completely eliminate this Rokossov!"

Von Moltke stood at attention, raised his head and answered: "Yes! After 20 days of replenishment, my group will start the attack. I can finally realize my long-cherished wish and lead the army to attack Yekaterinburg!

"My noble majesty, I apply to name this operation as the November Festival to celebrate our complete elimination of the Ante steamroller that has been threatening Europa. "

Reinhard shook his head: "No, this is too polite for an inferior race like Ante! No, we can't use such a weak name. This operation should be called-Typhoon! We must destroy Ante like a typhoon and end the war before winter comes!

"This December, we will sign a surrender agreement with the enemy in Yekaterinburg, just like we did in Carolingia last May!"

Marshal von Borg and other generals stood up and shouted: "Long live Prosen! Long live the emperor!"

Wang Zhong raised his head when he heard the sound of artillery fire outside and came to the window.

Unfortunately, the fired shells could not be seen in the dark.

Even if you switch to a bird's-eye view, you can't see it at all. By the way, from a bird's-eye view, the entire west bank is dark, indicating that there are no enemy units.

Wang Zhong: "I don't know how long this calm can last."

Vasily: "The enemy can't be calm. Tomorrow morning they will dig pits for the enemies who died in their sleep."

Wang Zhong: "We will do the same if the enemy's artillery comes up. The good news is that we have ready-made reinforced concrete buildings to avoid artillery. How is the reinforcement of the buildings on the east bank going?"

Pavlov: "It hasn't started yet. The main task at present is to pour concrete bunkers. The sooner they are poured, the sooner they can reach the strongest hardness. But we have reinforced some key buildings with steel bars."

Wang Zhong nodded: "Very good. In addition, we brought a brand new artillery and a brand new self-propelled artillery. Tomorrow we will gather the anti-tank artillery troops and let them get familiar with these two weapons as soon as possible before the enemy attacks.

"Especially the self-propelled anti-tank guns. We need to prepare bunkers and transfer routes specifically for this anti-tank gun."

Popov frowned: "You mean the ugly-looking tractor? That thing looks like a stick tied to a tractor. And although I am not familiar with artillery, that artillery looks different from all our artillery.

"It looks slimmer than the 76 gun, but the barrel is very long! Like an embroidery needle!"

Wang Zhong: "Yes, it is an embroidery needle, and it consumes a lot of production hours to make an embroidery needle. The man-hours to produce one of these guns can make several 76 guns. But correspondingly, this gun is amazingly powerful and has terrible accuracy."

Vasily smiled and said, "It sounds good. It just so happens that our anti-tank artillery unit has only withdrawn the gunners. Where did you get this gun, General?"

Wang Zhong: "Others don't want it because they think it has not been tested."

Others were stunned.

Vasily smiled and said, "General, you are teasing us again! You are bragging about this without testing it?"

Wang Zhong thought that I was bragging because this gun has been used in actual combat on Earth.

He looked at Vasily: "Tomorrow we will test this gun."

The smile on Vasily's face froze.

Wang Zhong: "You have to understand that we are very short of weapons now, because most of the factories are moving eastward, and even if the transfer is completed, it will take time to restore production efficiency.

"Because of this, we can only continue to produce defective T34s to supplement the troops and slowly expand the production of the well-received parade tanks."

Kharlamov is in the air force, and when he heard about the parade tanks, he was full of questions: "Parade tanks?"

Wang Zhong: "In order to allow me, an infantry general with no tank training, to ride a tank to command operations, my vehicle No. 422 was a ceremonial tank. But it showed excellent combat performance."

Kharlamov blinked: "Did you just say 'infantry generals without tank training ride tanks to fight'?"

Wang Zhong: "I am an infantry general."

Kharlamov gasped: "What? I thought you were an armored soldier! After all... after all, you commanded tanks to kill eight General Prosen, didn't you?"

"Two, two Generals Proshen." Wang Zhong was almost tired of correcting this statement again and again, "and one of them was killed by artillery."

"Is that so. However, war is really strange. One of the most powerful tank generals on Proshen's side actually wrote "Infantry Attack." Kharlamov shook his head, "Maybe one day you, an infantry general, can become an air force marshal."

Wang Zhong laughed, but what he thought in his heart was to tell you the truth, I am a super pilot who shot down more than a thousand enemy planes in War Thunder!

If my physique can withstand flying, I will definitely show you what an ace pilot is.

But now there are no ejection seats on airplanes, and the death rate of pilots being shot down is too high, so it is better to be a general on the ground.

Although being on the ground may not be much safer than in the air.

At this time, Nellie opened the door and came in with a cart: "Snack time! Today's snack is yogurt and muffins brought from Yebao."

Kharlamov's eyes widened when he saw Nellie: "Why is there such a young girl here? She looks about the same age as my daughter, and should still be in the fifth grade!"

Nellie looked at the pilot with disdain: "I have graduated from the tenth grade for a long time."

"Huh? Is that so?" Lieutenant Colonel Kharlamov was shocked.

Vassily said: "You have a daughter?"

"Of course, I carry the photo of them as a talisman. Look!" Kharlamov took out the pendant, opened it and showed the photo inside to everyone.

It was obviously a family photo folded in half, with only the daughter and wife side exposed.

Pavlov was amazed after seeing the photo: "You are really enviable."

Wang Zhong: "Chief of Staff, don't you have a wedding ring too?"

"Yes, I do. But my wife... let's not talk about it." The bear-like Chief of Staff shook his head, "She is already strong enough to go to the mountains to hunt bears."

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Isn't that normal? Ante women will go to the mountains to fight bears in the future."

Nelly frowned and looked at Wang Zhong.

Kharlamov looked at the photo of his wife and shook his head: "My wife probably can't beat a bear. She is a middle school teacher and is relatively weak. In winter, she will have backaches when she chops firewood outside.

"Later, the church installed coal stoves for the families of intellectuals in the city. She has been thanking the church for this for many years. Every winter, she sits outside and makes coal balls, and tells her daughter about the time when she could only burn firewood to keep warm. "

Wang Zhong: "Don't we use Kuba fuel oil for heating in winter now?"

Kharlamov shook his head: "We can't send it there, so it's better to use coal nearby. There are coal mines nearby. The output of coal mines was very low before, but after the church took over, the output increased and everyone could afford coal.

Wang Zhong: "Is that so?"

Kharlamov continued: "We were originally planning to move to Khasalia, but now Khasalia has fallen."

Wang Zhong answered seriously: "It has not fallen. I still have a box with me. As long as I am not dead, there will always be a piece of land in Khasalia that has not fallen, and this piece of land is next to me."

Kharlamov was stunned for a moment, then apologized: "I'm sorry, General, I..."

"Also, the Borsk Front is still fighting, and that is also Khasalia's land. So it is not accurate to say that Khasalia has fallen." Wang Zhong corrected seriously.

"I'm sorry." Kharlamov apologized sincerely.

Pavlov said: "The situation of the Borsk Front is not very good, but if the enemy's attack direction is mainly Yebao for the rest of this year, then maybe they can take a breath. If the enemy wants to obtain Kuba's oil, they will always attack Borsk in the future. ”

Wang Zhong: “No matter how much territory we lose, we will eventually recover it. We will.”

The others in the room said in unison: “Of course.”

Nellie: “Would you like sour cream for the pancakes?”

Wang Zhong: “Yes!”

See you tomorrow
