Chapter 207 Simple and unpretentious—but useless (Updated 1/33)

When Popov heard that the enemy was coming, he immediately came to the observation window and looked out.

Five minutes later, he put down the telescope and said to Wang Zhong: "Smoke, Xu Jin's barrage, tank impact, are you still doing the same thing? There weren't enough casualties yesterday, so let's try again today?"

Wang Zhong listened to the sound of our mortars and heavy artillery blocking the firing and shrugged: "Ask the enemy's commander."

At this time, Pavlov had already finished giving the order to the artillery, so he also joined the conversation: "The enemy's tactics have not changed. We will deal with it according to yesterday's method. This saves me trouble. The order to the artillery just said peace." Just the same as yesterday.”

Vasily: "No, no, there is still something different, haven't you noticed?"

Everyone looked at Vasily. The musician fully satisfied his desire for expression, and then said mysteriously: "There are no planes today. Yesterday we were Jacques 1 and Shenjian. It is conservatively estimated that the enemy lost thirty or forty soldiers in one day." Pilot, he didn’t come today! He didn’t even come for high-altitude bombing!”

Everyone in the bunker looked at each other, and Wang Zhong suddenly slapped his thigh: "Aren't all the pilots idle? How could this be? Can Yak 1 carry bombs?"

Wang Zhong flew the Yak-1 - in the game, but he only flew the Yak-1 for air combat, so he only knew that the Yak-1 could not carry auxiliary fuel tanks and cannon pods, and had no memory of bombs and other things.

Pavlov was speechless: "Just find a job for me!"

After speaking, he picked up the receiver: "Switchboard, pick up the destroyer group for me. Hello, Kharlamov? Not him? You can do it too. Can your Yak-1 carry bombs? Can it carry two 100-kilogram bombs? Okay. Got it. Just hold the phone and I’ll ask the general.”

Pavlov looked over and didn't waste time repeating what he just said. Everyone heard it anyway.

Wang Zhong: "Having two 100-kg bombs has a great impact on flight performance. Pilots are still very precious. Let's hang two 50-kg bombs."

Vasily was very surprised: "Isn't it enough to just hang one?"

Wang Zhong: "What do you know? Two of them are hung under the wings, one on the left and one on the right, so that they can be balanced. When they are thrown, they are thrown together. If one side fails and the other side fails and is not thrown away, something big will happen."

Vasily: "That's it."

Pavlov saw the conversation between the two ended and asked: "So the order is for them to hang two 50KG bombs and set off?"

"Set off one squadron, and the rest will be on guard duty. Tell them that hits are not required, just throw them around the enemy. The key is to come back alive. I need their reconnaissance reports. Pay special attention to places with antennas."

In fact, Wang Zhong didn't think that these pilots could see the enemy's antenna. He had actual experience of how difficult it was to detect camouflaged ground targets in the air.

In the game, if the enemy puts some grass in front of the tank and stops it under a tree, Wang Zhong will be blinded and unable to see.

Even in the game, the details on the ground are 10,000 times richer in reality, let alone invisible. After taking the photos, it takes a long time for professionals to identify them.

There is a war example on Earth. One of Sandoku's No. 4 vehicles broke its tracks and was reported by the Soviet infantry. As a result, the Soviet Union dispatched 40 Il-2s to drop bombs. As a result, the nearest bomb landed on dozens of tanks. meters away.

It wasn't that the Soviet Union's air bomb-dropping skills were poor, it was that the No. 4 was on the battlefield at that time, and the surrounding situation was too complicated for the pilot to distinguish which was the target.

Of course, the Soviet Union's air bomb-dropping skills were indeed poor and there was not enough training time.

Wang Zhong's order was conveyed intact to the destroyer group by Pavlov.

The chief of staff put down the receiver and said to Wang Zhong: "The fighter jets are going to bomb. Isn't this a dog meddling in other people's business?"

It turns out Ant also has this proverb...

Wang Zhong: "What's wrong with this? We have poor engine technology and insufficient power, so we can only bring two 'little sweet potatoes'."

Vasily: "50 kilograms is not a small sweet potato, it is a big watermelon. No, I don't know if there is such a heavy watermelon. It is more terrifying than a heavy cannon."

Wang Zhong: "Just wait, wait until we introduce fighter jets from the United States, and let you see what it means to not do your job properly."

At this time, the only staff officer in the bunker who stayed at his post shouted: "I heard the sound of machine gunfire. The bridgehead and the enemy are engaged in fire."

Pavlov picked up the receiver.

A moment later, the sound of heavy artillery blasting passed over everyone's heads.

Wang Zhong could see through smoke, so he clearly saw two more companies deployed around the bridgehead. After passing through the mortar's blocking fire net, the formation was already very sparse. As a result, because the bridgehead was only one point, the sparse formation became even more sparse. Had to squeeze together.

Then it was covered by heavy artillery.

Wang Zhong couldn't help but mutter: "Is the enemy's commander so stubborn? It's not possible to send him off like this. Our infantry can't accumulate combat experience."

Popov: "What are you talking about? Do you really think that we are sending new recruits across the river to gain experience? No, they are to practice courage. Combat skills will naturally improve when we retreat to the back to rest. Veterans teach.”

At this time, the phone rang, and Pavlov picked up the receiver: "Division headquarters. What's wrong? Got it."

He put down the receiver and immediately picked it up again, giving the artillery a ceasefire order.

Wang Zhong: "The enemy has retreated?"

In fact, Wang Zhong saw that the enemy had retreated, but he had to pretend, after all, the division headquarters bunker - no, the entire east coast was full of smoke and he couldn't see anything.

Pavlov: "The enemy didn't even try to cross the river. What's going on?"

Just as Wang Zhong was about to answer, he saw a squadron of Yak-1s flying across the river with bombs attached.

The sound of the plane's engine has actually become the only sound on the battlefield now.

Wang Zhong was about to pray that they found the "big fish" when the phone rang.

Pavlov picked up: "Division headquarters, tell me. Huh? Okay, I'll give it to him right away."

After speaking, he handed the receiver to Wang Zhong: "Commander of the Army Group."

Wang Zhong took the receiver: "Hello, Kirinenko, this is Rokosov, what's wrong?"

Lieutenant General Kirinenko: "How is the situation on your side? Kashuch was under heavy attack, and the concrete you sent him played a big role. And there is no bridge on his side, and the enemy has to wade through the water to attack."

Wang Zhong: "I have a bridge here, but the bridgehead is actually a chopping block I designed for the enemy. My heavy hammer has smashed the enemy into pieces. Four enemy companies have been evaporated, four companies!"

Yesterday, the enemy dropped more than 400 corpses. Today, one wave of attacks will drop nearly 300 corpses.

Lieutenant General Kirinenko: "Are you sure you don't need reinforcements?"

Wang Zhong: "My reserve team has not moved."

In fact, the reserve team suffered casualties yesterday second only to the logistics personnel because they were attacked by the enemy's elite infiltration troops.

Hearing that Wang Zhong was so confident, Lieutenant General Kirinenko said: "That's good. If you can't hold on anymore, tell me immediately that I have prepared troops to replace you. Your symbolic significance is greater than the actual combat significance now. Although I think No one has the confidence to defend as well as you, but... in short, what I mean is, you should withdraw when you need to, don't be burdened. "

Wang Zhong: "Don't worry. I will withdraw when the casualties of my troops reach 40%."

Kirinenko was silent for a while and said: "Okay, I understand. That's it."

Then he hung up.

At the Army Headquarters, Lieutenant General Kirinenko put down the phone and looked at the Army Chief of Staff and the Army Bishop: "This Rokossov told me confidently that he would request a retreat when casualties reach 40%."

The chief of staff frowned: "Even Agsukov's troops, inspired by the crown prince, didn't fight so resolutely, right? They collapsed when they suffered 30% casualties. Is his army an iron army?"

The bishop of the group army said with great certainty: "Major General Rokossov said it is possible. In Orachi, his troops suffered 50% casualties and even organized a breakout. Although this casualty was calculated after the breakout. of."

Kirinenko came to the map and looked at the entire situation: "Now it seems that it is possible for us to completely block the enemy's offensive in the south. The question is how long we can block the north. There is no river to defend in the north, and the only buildings are The fortification area is around the leaf fort, which is a battlefield suitable for the enemy's armored forces. "

Chief of Staff: "Looking on the bright side, we have saved a lot of troops here, and the Western Front can transfer its troops to the north."

Lieutenant General Kirinenko nodded: "I hope so."

For the Prosen Army, the First Army Headquarters of the Asgard Knights.

Giles frowned: "We haven't even exchanged fire with the enemy's anti-tank guns, and we have suffered such huge losses. It seems that we can't continue to rush forward like this. Change the strategy, change the combat plan to soil work, and apply to Army Group Center Engineer Corps."

All the staff members looked at each other, and then the chief of staff spoke on behalf of everyone: "Your Majesty has high hopes for us..."

Giles: "That's why we can't continue to die like this. What's the difference between this and those stupid Carolingian generals who used their squadrons to force soldiers to die? Earthworks have higher resistance to enemy heavy artillery. Even if they are bombarded by heavy artillery, can continue to advance.

"This is tantamount to abolishing their trump card that is the biggest threat to us now! I have carefully read the battle records of General White Horse. In Aolaqi, the biggest crisis for his defense line occurred when the reconnaissance plane came into the air and his heavy artillery did not dare to use it. when.

"Although our battle reports like to portray General Baima as a tank general, in fact, what he is best at is using artillery firepower!

"So we have to take the right medicine."

At this time, Adjutant Feliz stepped forward and asked, "How long will it take for the soil work to advance to the enemy?"

Giles: "I ordered the engineering troops to assess yesterday, and the detailed assessment report should be completed today. Based on my own experience, I estimate that it may take us fifteen days to advance to a distance where we can launch an attack."

Feliz: "But His Majesty hopes that our pincer offensive will be completed in mid-October. Ye Fort will be captured in November."

Giles: "Don't worry. We will launch the attack on October 5th and break through the defense line around the 10th. We can still complete the pincer offensive on the 20th. The key to His Majesty's expectation is to break through the 'Iron Wall of the Empire' promoted by the enemy. The Defense of General White Horse."

Feliz: "But..."

Giles: "I will explain this to His Majesty personally. Don't worry, stop the attack and let the artillery continue to bombard the enemy's defenses."

Feliz hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Yes."
