Arc of Gunfire

Wang Zhong strode toward Prosen to surrender his troops.

Gregory suddenly came up and stopped Wang Zhong: "The enemy may have hidden weapons, wait until we search him."

Wang Zhong pushed him away gently: "It's okay, the bullets of despicable people can't hit me."

In fact, it was Wang Zhong who determined through a plug-in that these people had no weapons - you can tell at a glance whether there are weapons or not by highlighting them.

Wang Zhong took long strides and walked towards the prisoner Prosen.

Gregory hurried to follow, with the weapon in his hand ready to fire. It seemed that he was determined to open fire if anyone among the prisoners acted rashly.

Prosen was also looking at Wang Zhong. The officer who led the surrender was still arrogant at first, until Vasily removed the red flag from the cannon and followed Wang Zhong with it.

The officer frowned, and then his expression turned into fear.

Wang Zhong joked: "Why, you also want to recite scriptures? Why does he come from the darkness, bring death and illuminate the future?"

Vasily carried the red flag and translated it again.

The officer hurriedly shook his head and raised his cheeks: "Nai Nai!"

Vasily: "He said no."

Wang Zhong thought to himself that I still understand this sentence. After all, I have seen the anger of the head of state so many times, right?

"Ask them why they saw me looking so scared and what he was afraid of."

Vasily did so immediately.

Then the prisoner opened his chatterbox and chattered a lot.

Vasily: "He said that any prisoner you capture will be tortured, shot in the shoulder, and disabled for life."

Wang Zhong sneered: "Don't think of us as you! You are beasts and we are humans. I used to shoot in the shoulder because I didn't have time to capture the prisoners, and I couldn't put the prisoners back and let them kill my soldiers. This was the only way. Now. Now We have conditions to capture prisoners, and I guarantee that you will be treated in accordance with the Geneva Convention!”

At least before it is handed over to the Inquisition - Wang Zhong secretly added in his mind.

Then he waved his hand: "Take custody and prepare for evacuation!"

As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, he suddenly saw the two destroyed M3 tanks and raised his hand: "Wait a minute!"

Gregory immediately yelled: "Wait a minute!"

The prisoners were startled, and some staggered and almost fell down.

Wang Zhong left the prisoners behind and walked towards the tank.

Both tanks were penetrated frontally, and the bullet holes left by armor-piercing shells were clearly visible. It looked like a fire started immediately after being shot and then burned down.

After thinking of the word "burned", Wang Zhong realized that there was a burning smell in the air. His brain had been accustomed to the smell in the air and automatically ignored it.

Wang Zhong turned back to Vasily and said, "Let them finish digging the graves for our soldiers before leaving."

At this time, a major nearby said: "We have seen it. The car was burned so badly that it is impossible to take out the bodies of the soldiers without dismantling the tank."

Wang Zhong: "Then dig a bigger hole and bury the tanks in it."

"Yes!" The major saluted and turned around to make arrangements.

Wang Zhong stopped him: "Wait a minute, where is the enemy's headquarters?"

The major shook his head: "I don't know. We were charging and fighting all morning without stopping to check on the occupied houses."

Wang Zhong nodded and turned to ask Vasily: "Ask them where the headquarters is."

Vasily immediately went over to talk to the prisoner Jili Gulu, and then came back and reported: "This is the building they were guarding. When Commander Said led his troops to retreat, they voluntarily stayed to break up the rear and process the documents left behind."

Wang Zhong nodded: "Go in and see if there are any burned things. Let them dig holes! Bury my soldiers properly."

As he spoke, Wang Zhong turned around and walked towards the half-collapsed building with his hands behind his back.

The soldiers who came in first had already searched the building. As soon as Wang Zhong came in, he met a familiar face named Filipov and smiled: "Filipov, he's still alive!"

He grabbed Filipov's shoulders with both hands: "Very, very good, my arms and legs are intact, I can continue to crush the Prossen!"

Filipov also smiled, and then went straight to business: "General, we have taken a look. All the documents and maps inside were burned. The code book was not found at all, and the Enigma machine was also smashed."

Wang Zhong: "Smashed?"

"Yes, we collected the pieces as much as possible, but we don't know if they can be restored. We don't even know how to repair them."

Wang Zhong: “It’s still a great achievement, let the technical department worry about the rest.”

As he spoke, he patted Filipov on the shoulder and continued to walk into the building, but Filipov said: "General, there are cracks in the main structure of the building. The 203 heavy artillery is too powerful. You'd better not go in. What to do if it collapses?”

As if to echo Filipov's words, fine dust fell from the ceiling and fell on Wang Zhong and others.

203 shelled three times and turned the entire building into a dangerous building?

Wang Zhong originally planned to use the remaining two-thirds of the building as a headquarters.

Vasily looked at Wang Zhong's expression and said, "It seems that we have to find another headquarters."

Wang Zhong nodded: "Yes, you will be responsible for selecting the site."

After speaking, he turned to Filipov and said: "Since this is a dangerous building, evacuate the soldiers quickly. Other things are not that important, so there is no need to look for them."

"yes."

After speaking, Wang Zhong walked out of the building and saw Ante soldiers in the corner of the square handing out shovels to the Prosen people. In order to prevent them from using shovels as weapons to riot, a jeep parked not far away, and the M2 Laoganma heavy machine gun on the vehicle was pointed at it. To them.

Wang Zhong suddenly wondered if the prisoners thought they were digging a pit for themselves.

After thinking about it, he didn't let Vasily explain that the pit was just to bury the destroyed tanks.

It wouldn't hurt to scare them.

At this time, three jeeps and an M3 half-track vehicle "squeezed" past the cannon blocking the road and drove all the way to Wang Zhong.

Yegorov and Alexander, the chief of staff of the 1st Guards Mechanized Infantry, got off the jeep one after the other, and both looked at the prisoner Prosen who was digging a pit.

Yegorov slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "Good! It's easier if we just shoot them all!"

Hey!

Wang Zhong hurriedly explained: "No, let them dig a pit to bury our soldiers. The two M3s over there were completely burned, and the people in the cars didn't escape. Their flesh and blood have merged with the steel, so I want to bury the cars together."

"What? They all shot them all." Yegorov looked regretful.

The division commander coughed, "Be careful of the impact! This thing will have a downward effect!"

"I know, you see our soldiers didn't kill them!" Yegorov changed the subject, "Why did it come out? Can't this nice building be used? It's just right for the army headquarters."

Wang Zhong shook his head, "It was bombarded by heavy artillery three times and became a dangerous building. I thought about disguising it and making a fake headquarters to deceive the enemy's bombing."

Chief of Staff Alexander looked up at the building, "What a pity, what a nice building."

"When the war is over, we will build a more luxurious one." Wang Zhong said to Vasily, "Write it down and say I want to build it."

Vassily: "I bet there is a bronze statue of you in front of the new building. Maybe it's a statue of you personally directing the artillery fire."

As he spoke, several trucks drove into the square from the "gap" where the division headquarters vehicles had just come from. As soon as they stopped, the people in the car lifted the canvas covering the big pot on the car, and the aroma of the broth drifted into everyone's nostrils.

Vassily's stomach roared with full of air.

Wang Zhong shook his head: "You guys, you haven't done much, but you're hungry fast."

"I'm speaking for all the soldiers, it's time to eat." Vasily said.

Wang Zhong looked at Alexander: "Order the troops to set up alerts and have dinner on the spot."

————

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the army headquarters arrived in Yeisk and entered the grain bureau warehouse selected by Vasily. There was no grain in the warehouse for a long time. Even if the entire ground was scraped, the wheat that came out could not fill a bullock cart.

However, the warehouse itself was a concrete building, which was just right for the headquarters, but there was a problem with lighting. There were not many lights in the granary.

Vasily directly started a fire in the middle of the granary and filled the warehouse with torches.

Pavlov frowned: "You might as well get a few trucks and turn on the headlights for illumination."

Vassily slapped his thigh: "You're right, I'll do it right away!"

Wang Zhong called Vasily: "Okay, don't go! Leave the arrangements for the headquarters to the sixth-level clerk!"

"Can you call me by my name?" Colonel Karatayev, a civilian, appeared behind Wang Zhong like a ghost, stimulating the reaction in Wang Zhong's DNA-the head teacher and the class leader liked to appear suddenly like this in the evening self-study class, and then took the pocket book in Wang Zhong's hand!

The civilian colonel frowned and looked at Wang Zhong: "General, your reaction is too big, right? A general should be calm in the face of adversity."

"You're right." Wang Zhong nodded seriously.

The colonel looked at the warehouse and shook his head: "How can you make a lot of fire in a place with so many papers in the headquarters? Just pull in some electricity to get some lighting! Forget it, forget it, I'll arrange it."

The old man walked forward cursing and began to give orders as he walked.

Pavlov looked at Wang Zhong: "You called Vasily to go for reconnaissance, right?"

Wang Zhong: "You are right! Although we have captured Yeisk, the battle has just begun. We have to fight the enemy's Tenth Army on this hundreds of square kilometers of land. I must see what the terrain looks like."

Pavlov nodded: "Although I think it is a bit too much for the army commander to personally conduct reconnaissance, but I have no reason to refute you. Do you have to conduct reconnaissance in person when you become the commander of the front in the future?"

What else?

Wang Zhong: "Of course not. By then, I may be dozens or hundreds of kilometers away from the front line. I should only be able to conduct actual reconnaissance of the breakthrough area."

Pavlov had an expression of "I understand you". Popov next to him said: "I think it is enough to send a reconnaissance team. The area responsible for the entire army is so large. Can you run all of it once?"

Wang Zhong: "Of course, a reconnaissance team must be sent, and I will also conduct reconnaissance in person. Don't worry, I will not be in danger."

Because the enemy can be highlighted two kilometers away.

Pavlov said to Popov: "It's useless. He has decided to go. Let's trust Sergeant Gregory's ability."

Popov shrugged: "That's all we can do."
