Arc of Gunfire

The people of the 190th Division were not dead yet. The division commander squatted in the big bomb crater, holding the only remaining radio and shouting: "I am 190! 190! I am under fierce attack! We are about to be wiped out! Hello? Hello? ? Did anyone hear it?"

There was only rustling in the earphones, and no one responded to the division commander's call.

The division commander called several more times, and finally a human voice came through the rustling: "190, how are you doing?"

"We are about to lose! The enemy launched a fierce attack, and our position was almost destroyed in the first round of shelling! After the shelling, some units' casualties reached 40%! 40%!"

There was only rustling in the earphones again. The division commander suspected that the content was not sent out, so he repeated again: "After the bombardment, some of our units lost 40%! It's good that they didn't collapse! We can't stop the enemy!"

Finally, the voice sounded again in the earphones: "If you hold on firmly, there will be a way! If you hold on firmly, there will be a way!"

The teacher shouted in despair: "How long will we have to guard?"

There was silence over there, and only the rustling static noise responded to the teacher's anxiety.

"How long do we have to guard?"

————

Vasily took the microphone and looked up at Wang Zhong: "How do you answer?"

Wang Zhong: "I want to think about this issue."

Pavlov crossed his arms and said: "No one reminded the division commander about the radio communication discipline. The staff officers around him are almost dead."

Popov nodded and glanced at the terrain map hanging on the mobile blackboard: "It seems that one of the enemy division headquarters positions we guessed based on the aerial reconnaissance photos was correct, but we don't know which one it is."

The photos taken by the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft modified from the Pei-2 bomber were very blurry. Wang Zhong guessed a total of eight possible locations of the enemy division headquarters, and then selected the three that he thought were most likely to be bombarded.

It is unrealistic to bombard all eight enemies. It will scatter the firepower, and even if it hits, it will not cause much damage.

If you choose three to bombard, you can at least ensure that these three are completely destroyed.

After all, the location chosen is based on aerial reconnaissance to confirm that there are enemy units stationed there. It is not bad to blow up the units before the headquarters can be bombed.

Anyway, the enemy's defense depth is only that small. Melania's first division's offensive departure line is only 12 kilometers away from the Guards' blockade line, and 15 kilometers away from the 225th Division's blockade line.

On the map, the space surrounded by the 190th Division looks very much like the Japanese melon in Plants vs. Zombies. The 225th Division is responsible for the fat side, and the guard is the Japanese melon head in one move.

There are basically no buildings in this encirclement. Aerial reconnaissance only found a few single-family thatched houses, which had been blown up.

Attacking the 190th Division in this state, the commander of Melania's First Division patted Wang Zhong's chest and won the battle in 30 hours.

Wang Zhong gave him 48 hours.

After the attack began, Wang Zhong ordered Vasily to use the previously captured Proson radio station to listen to the enemy's communications, and then received a distress call from the suspected commander of the 190th Infantry Division of Proson.

Based on Wang Zhong's playful mentality that no one in this time and space can understand, he asked Vasily to reply, "If you hold on firmly, there will be a way."

Vasily listened for a while and continued to ask: "He is still asking how long he can hold on. He seems to really think that I am from their side."

Wang Zhong: "Tell him that the rescue armored divisions have been assembled and are replenishing ammunition and fuel. Soon, the forces mobilized by several armored divisions will form the Cyclops battle group and launch a rescue operation. The operation code name is Crossing the Rubicon. river."

Vasily looked at Wang Zhong in surprise: "Does it need to be so specific?"

Wang Zhong made a gesture to Vasily: "You don't understand. It is my greatest goodwill to let the enemy still have a glimmer of hope at this time. Then I will completely crush this glimmer of hope. This not only reflects my goodwill , and realized the cold trial of the Prosen gangsters."

Popov: "You just said another famous quote that will be remembered in your biography. It's a pity that our friend the United States Correspondent is not here."

At this time Vasily said: "The enemy already knows, including the battle group, the Rubicon and so on. However, saying this on the radio actually violates radio communication regulations. The other party will not believe it, right?"

Popov: "Those who are about to sink to the bottom will try their best to grasp at straws."

Wang Zhong nodded.

At this time, the communications staff came in with a telegram: "A call from the Front Army Headquarters."

Wang Zhong frowned: "You want us to retreat to Suhaya for Lihe again?"

Pavlov shook his head: "Probably not. Considering the time, General Gorky should arrive today. There is no reason to issue an order before he is replaced."

Wang Zhong took the telegram and looked at it: "'If your department needs reinforcements, please let me know. I wish you success in annihilating the enemy - General Gorky.'"

Pavlov: "Look!"

Wang Zhong said to Vasily: "Send power to the front army headquarters. Our unit needs the support of the 40th Tank Corps in order to defeat or even annihilate one of the enemy's armored divisions."

Vasily: "Okay."

He took out his notebook and wrote a text message quickly. He looked up at Wang Zhong and repeated the content at a very fast speed.

Wang Zhong: "Confirm, send it out."

Vasily immediately tore out the notebook and handed it to the communications staff officer.

Pavlov: "At this stage, the enemy has two pincers. One armored division has withdrawn, and the grenadier division seems to be running away. The other two divisions have not shown any signs of moving, but since one pincer does not exist, there is no point in staying on the other side. My judgment is that the enemy will fully withdraw its forces, solve the supply problem, and put together a battle group..."

Wang Zhong: "Why do you think I made up the fake information just now? This is called great minds think alike."

Popov smiled and said, "Now we are relieved. The general will command the small tanks to charge and we can still get the same level of command."

Everyone else in the room laughed.

Because it seems that victory is about to be won, the atmosphere in the headquarters is very relaxed.

In a blink of an eye, a new report was delivered.

Vasily picked up the report and read it, reporting: "Melania's First Division reported that it has completely defeated the enemy's front line of defense. All troops in the division are progressing smoothly. It requires the follow-up echelon to advance to receive prisoners."

Wang Zhong looked at Pavlov, and before he spoke, the chief of staff picked up the phone: "Connect the rear mobile brigade. You can move forward, yes, take the hired workers with you."

The mobile brigade has a small number of people, and its main task is to patrol the rear to prevent small enemy forces from sabotaging. With the hired workers, it is a large army to clean up the battlefield.

As soon as Pavlov put down the phone, the communications staff sent another telegram: "The command sent a telegram to the various units of the Sukhaya Front."

Wang Zhong: "It is probably to inform us of the change of the commander of the front."

Vasily took the telegram and read it, and nodded: "Yes, it officially told us that the commander of the front was changed to General Gorky, and the whereabouts of General Andrei were not informed."

Pavlov took the telegram, read it and said: "General Andrei should continue to serve in the front. After all, he has not made any mistakes. Although the battle was bad last year, everyone fought badly last year."

Wang Zhong: "What do you mean, we raised opinions over the head and dismissed him, but let him continue to harm our army?"

"You raised opinions and dismissed him." Popov corrected.

"Hey, don't worry about these details." Wang Zhong waved his hand.

At this time, the radio operator shouted: "Report, received the enemy's call."

Vasily immediately took the headset from the radio operator and listened, and directly performed simultaneous interpretation: "'Our unit can't hold on for that long, please start the Rubicon operation immediately, repeat...'"

Wang Zhong: "The enemy really grabbed the straw. You responded to him like this-"

"No need." Vasily took off the headset and turned up the volume, so everyone heard the Ante language "surrender your guns and you won't be killed" from the other side!

Wang Zhong touched his chin and thought to himself, how could it be so similar?

When this Proson Chen Xjie comes back, I will ask him how he feels.
