Arc of Gunfire

After Wang Zhong finished speaking, he turned to the judges who arrived on the same plane and shouted: "Disarm him and arrest him!"

The judge stepped forward without hesitation, unloaded Tukhachev's pistol, and then looked at Wang Zhong asking for advice: "The military rank... should I tear it off?"

Wang Zhong stared at Tukhachev: "His Majesty the Tsar specifically asked me to ensure that he returns to Yebao to face the trial of the military court. So before the trial, he is still a general. He will take our plane back to "Yebao."

The judge then took back his hand that was about to tear off the military rank, and took a step back to maintain his alert posture.

Tukhachev stood up and looked at Wang Zhong: "You don't know how difficult we will face next year!"

Wang Zhong: "Cowards, the other quick-victory factions are excusable, they are just too eager to win. And you, you pursue quick victory just because you don't dare to face the arduous war behind!"

Tukhachev raised his voice: "What happens if you win? Do you know how much sacrifice you have to make?"

"I know!" Wang Zhong responded loudly, "I am different from some people who sit at a desk and read documents comfortably. I personally buried countless soldiers under my command, and I still remember their names!"

Wang Zhong stopped and stared at Tukhachev's face: "More than anyone else, more than you, I want them to live! That's why I compiled teaching materials and reformed your unreasonable troop composition! But the premise of all this is to resist to the end !”

Tukhachev and Wang Zhong looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally lowered his high head.

He lowered his head and left the headquarters unsteadily.

The judge immediately followed him, holding him on his left and right.

Wang Zhong looked back at General Gorky, took a step back, and said, "Come on, I'm done with my red face."

General Gorky immediately issued an order: "Order all frontline units to block the enemy's offensive at all costs. Treat the troops originally prepared to attack as reserves and replenish them where the enemy's breakthrough is strongest."

After speaking, he looked around the entire command headquarters and waved his hand: "Bring back all the maps that have not been burned and resume the operations of the front army headquarters as soon as possible."

At this time, the former Chief of Staff of the Western Front took a step forward: "Your Excellency, General, the troops on the front line are also somewhat shaken, and some troops have already retreated."

General Gorky: "Shoot those who lead the retreat and put the rest into punishment camps. Stabilize the front as soon as possible. As long as the enemy does not discover it, it will be too late."

Wang Zhong: "I have a solution for this. All I need is a high-power radio."

General Gorky: "Are you going to use the radio to announce to the entire front?"

Wang Zhong smiled slightly: "Not only are we shouting to our soldiers, but we are also shouting to the enemy."

General Gorky raised his eyebrows: "It's very similar to the 'little tricks' in your booklet. There's no harm in giving it a try. Communications Section Chief, bring the highest-power radio!"

Soon a radio was brought in along with a generator and an antenna was erected.

Wang Zhong told the communications staff: "Cover the radio frequency of the battlefield as much as possible."

The communications staff officer asked: "Are the pilots' frequencies even covered?"

The pilots have to rely on radio to make up for each other's blind spots, and may be shot down by the enemy without hearing a word.

Wang Zhong thought for a moment and asked, "Can we only cover the enemy?"

"It is possible, but the effect will not be very good. In fact, we cannot guarantee that the front line can hear it. It may have something to do with the weather and the condition of the receiving antenna."

Wang Zhong: "Don't worry, the first goal is to ensure that all our people hear it. Interfering with the enemy's decision-making is an additional purpose."

The communications staff officer nodded, and after completing the final adjustments, he handed the microphone to Wang Zhong: "Please speak."

Wang Zhong: "All officers and soldiers of the Western Front, I am Lieutenant General Rokossov. I am speaking to you on behalf of His Majesty the Tsar from the headquarters of the Western Front! New fresh forces will join the battle. You should resist on the spot. You should resist on the spot. resistance!"

As he spoke, he glanced at General Gorky and continued to speak into the microphone: "The frightened Tukhachev has been dismissed from his post. General Gorky is the new commander of the Western Front! He will lead you to block the enemy, just like in Fort St. Andrew! Of course, I will be with you too!”

Tank battalion commander Mikhail suddenly heard an energetic voice coming from the radio: "All officers of the Western Front, I am Lieutenant General Rokossov. I am speaking to you from the headquarters of the Western Front on behalf of His Majesty the Tsar!"

Mikhail immediately said to other members in surprise: "General Rokossov has arrived at the front headquarters! His Majesty the Tsar asked him to come!"

At this time, Mikhail's battalion had not yet entered the battle. Originally, they were supposed to set off at eight o'clock in the morning to launch an offensive against the enemy. But now there is intensive gunfire from the front line, but the order to attack has not been issued for a long time. This tank battalion It seemed as if it had been forgotten.

He immediately opened the hatch cover and got out of the tank - the tanks in this battalion were all ordinary versions of T34, with two-person turrets, and the hatch cover was integrated. When the hatch cover was opened, the tank was equivalent to half of the turret with the top open.

This huge hatch is said to be a good cover for the commander who is looking through the probe. In fact, it not only provides cover, but also blocks the line of sight.

In addition, when opening the hatch cover, it is too easy for the Prosin infantry to throw grenades, so the T34 commander always locks the hatch cover when entering the battle, and has no idea of ​​​​probing.

Mikhail opened the huge hatch, stuck his head out and shouted: "General Rokossov has arrived at the Western Front Headquarters!"

The rest of the people in the camp were quite uneasy now - they didn't know what was happening now, and the sound of gunfire in the west was so dense that everyone would be uneasy.

Now the news that General Rokossov, the "Iron Wall of the Empire" and "Star of Victory", has arrived at the front army headquarters, is like a shot in the arm, making everyone feel more at ease.

Mikhail continued listening with his earphones in his hands and told everyone the latest news: "General Gorky Konstantinovich of the St. Andrew Front is also here! He took over as the commander of the front!"

Immediately, someone in the infantry accompanying the tank battalion shouted in disappointment: "Why isn't General Rokossov commanding us?"

Mikhail scolded: "General Rokossov wants to write teaching materials in the military academy, and now he comes to the front as a special envoy of His Majesty the Tsar! Don't be dissatisfied!"

Another tanker asked: "Did the general give us any orders?"

Mikhail's smile froze: "No, they just told us to resist on the spot."

The soldiers looked at each other: "Enemy? We didn't see the enemy at all?"

"Aren't we going to attack?"

At the headquarters of the First Army of the Asgard Knights of Prosen, the communications staff stumbled into the headquarters: "Your Excellency! Your Excellency Giles! General White Horse is here at the Western Front Headquarters!"

Giles frowned. The map in front of him was full of signs of successful attacks, and the recaptured positions were highlighted.

Just looking at the map, Proson was in a state of "victory on all fronts", but Giles frowned: "Rokosov is here? Didn't he fail in the political struggle and be relieved of military power?"

Communications Staff Officer: "He just made the radio broadcast himself, and I recorded it!"

As he spoke, the staff officer made a gesture, and the noncommissioned officer who followed him in placed a tape recorder on the table.

The staff officer pressed the switch, the recorder started spinning, and a steady voice came from the loudspeaker: "All officers and soldiers of the Western Front, I am Lieutenant General Rokossov. I am speaking to you from the headquarters of the Western Front on behalf of His Majesty the Tsar!"

Giles frowned: "It is indeed Rokossov, General White Horse. Why did he come to the front line? And we just launched the attack, and he arrived immediately..."

Suddenly Giles stopped and opened his mouth: "Could it be that the Western Front misjudged our intentions and panicked and prepared to retreat? Rokossov was sent to stabilize the situation?"

At this time, Rokossov announced in the recording that General Gorky would become the commander of the Western Front.

Giles slapped his thigh hard: "Oh! We missed the opportunity! The enemy was frightened by us! No, no, Rokossov came so fast, the enemy will not retreat. I thought too much."

He shook his head: "I'm overthinking it. The gap is too short. Feliz, take..."

Suddenly, Giles stopped, because he suddenly remembered that Feliz was no longer there, killed by the cunning Rokosov's booby trap.

Giles' expression looked a little lonely for a moment, but he immediately cheered up: "Order the troops, be careful of booby traps. Rokossov has come to the front line. He likes to set up booby traps. Also, the headquarters has moved into a strong bunker. Here, Rokosov likes to play dirty.

"Commanders at all levels try to avoid leaving the bunker during meals and sleep! Notify them immediately."

The communications staff officer immediately signaled his communications soldiers to do it.

Then he pointed to the tape recorder and asked, "What to do with this tape?"

Giles: "Sent to the intelligence department to further confirm that this is General White Horse. Our army's combat goal remains unchanged: to regain the positions lost since December, level the front, and withdraw as many troops as possible to rest."

At the same time, Walter Mendel's Ninth Army headquarters was also broadcasting General Rokossov's speech.

Mendel touched his chin: "We didn't hurt the enemy at all, so why did two senior commanders with actual results suddenly come here? Could it be that... we actually have a chance to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop?"

He thought for a while and shook his head: "No, it's unlikely. Even if there is a chance, the window may only be a few hours, and no one can seize this window. Leave the duel with the famous general Ant to Asgard. Knights, let’s just do our job.”

As he spoke, Mendel turned and asked the Chief of Staff of the Ninth Army: "Have the Christmas supplies been delivered?"

Chief of Staff: "No. We are busy delivering ammunition and oil, which are in short supply right now, and we don't have time to deliver these."

Mendel was speechless: "Then there is nothing we can do."
