Arc of Gunfire

For the rest of the 19th, the battlefield that had been noisy for several days actually became quiet.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Wang Zhong walked out of the warehouse and looked at the sun in the west.

He thought of the old song of the earth for no reason: The sun in the west is about to set, and the devil's doom is coming~

It's a pity that Proson does not use the sun as a symbol. The idea of ​​setting sun has nothing to do with Proson, otherwise Wang Zhong could "compose" another song.

The warehouse where the headquarters is located cannot see the complete sunset, and the sun will be blocked by the surrounding buildings first.

Wang Zhong suddenly wanted to wander around, so he turned to Vasily and said: "Go and inform Pavlov, just tell him that I will ride around the city, and let him deal with urgent matters first without reporting to me."

After saying that, he walked directly to the gate. As he walked, he called to Gregory who was smoking in the yard: "Come on, come with me for a walk."

"Let's ride a horse. This city is a bit big just by walking." Gregory said, throwing the cigarette butt on the ground, stamping it out with the toe of his leather shoe, and polishing it.

Wang Zhong thought about it and thought it was right: "Go and put a saddle on it and bring it over. I'll wait here. There's still some time before the sun goes down."

Gregory turned and walked toward the stables.

Vasily came back at this time, glanced at Grigory's back and said: "Going on horseback? It's time to ride for a while. If Busifaras is not allowed to come out for a walk, it will summon Prosen's bomb or something else. Something that blew up the stable."

Wang Zhong frowned: "Is the rumor already so outrageous?"

"yes."

Wang Zhong shook his head: "No, you guys, you have to believe in science. Buscephalas is just lucky."

As he spoke, Wang Zhong thought to himself, damn, I am saying this in a world with divine power to guide missiles. If there is a god, just give me a thunderbolt.

But on the other hand, now that the Chongsheng sect has been done like this and nothing major has happened yet, it shows that these divine powers may really be a natural phenomenon in this world.

Or some ancient super technology.

But those have nothing to do with Wang Zhong, a general who cheated and directed the war. That is a headache for scientists.

At this time, Wang Zhong suddenly heard the sound of an engine in the east, and muttered: "It should be another brigade of the 40th Army that has arrived. I don't know how many tanks they have left."

Vasily: "I think it's similar to the two brigades that arrived in the morning and noon. I'll find out later when I check it out."

At this time, Gregory came over with two horses, and the horse breeder behind him led another horse.

Gregory: "I brought three horses over. General, you can add me and the flag bearer."

Wang Zhong shook his head: "No, there is no need to bring the flag bearer. The last horse will be given to Vasily. We will simply walk around the city for a while."

Gregory nodded, checked the saddles of the two horses again, and then handed the reins to Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhongfei got on the horse, flicked the reins, and Busifaras walked towards the gate with cheerful steps.

Wang Zhong, who was riding on the horse, could even feel that its pace had a bit of rhythm. If there was a military band playing marching music next to it, it would definitely be able to step on it.

After leaving the gate, Wang Zhong saw a row of tanks parked on the street at first sight. Several children were playing on the tanks using them as rockeries.

The soldiers of the 40th Tank Army looked at the children laughing and did not even notice Wang Zhong riding out.

Wang Zhong: "What happened to these children? Why were they not evacuated?"

The moment he spoke, the soldiers looked over, stood up, and saluted him.

When the children saw this formation, they followed suit and saluted Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong returned the bow casually and repeated the question.

The soldiers looked at each other, as if they didn't know why these children were still in Yeisk.

At this time, the eldest child standing on the tank turret said: "Our parents were killed by Proson's shelling, and now we are all orphans."

Wang Zhong's eyes immediately softened when he looked at the children.

The leading child shouted: "Don't pity us, general, I am their leader now, I can take good care of them!"

The other children nodded: "Yes!"

Wang Zhong: "But we won't be fighting here forever. We are expected to retreat by August. What will you do then?"

The child king was stunned: "Are you going to retreat? They all say that you are the invincible Rokosov's troops. Will Rokosov's troops also retreat?"

Wang Zhong: "Of course we will. In fact, we have been retreating last year, and we retreated to the gate of Yekaterina Fort. We have to trade space for time, and we have to lengthen the enemy's supply line..."

Speaking of this, Wang Zhong hesitated, saying, can these children at such a young age understand? Maybe an orphanage should be set up in the rear to take in these war orphans, so that their childhood will not become only unfortunate because of the war.

As soon as this idea was formed, he was interrupted by the child king: "I don't believe it! The brothers who drive tanks said that Rokosov is very powerful and can tear apart enemy tanks with his bare hands. He is not as coward as you say. , run all the way!”

"Brothers who drive tanks?" Wang Zhong raised his head in surprise and suddenly realized that the tank soldiers who had just saluted him were all very young. They all looked like they were about 20 years old.

Several of them, Wang Zhong, even suspected that he had lied about his age in order to join the army.

Wang Zhong himself is very young, but he can already be a big brother in front of them.

Ah, yes, the armored forces suffered such heavy losses last year. They lost more than 20,000 tanks alone, so now these armored forces are all newly added——

Wang Zhong pointed at the sergeant with the highest rank and asked: "When did you join the army? Where were you when the war broke out? How many hours did you drive?"

The sergeant saluted: "I joined the army in April last year. When the war broke out, I was training in the rear. I drove for 270 hours!"

Wang Zhong pointed to the private soldier next to the sergeant: "What about you?"

Private soldier: "I joined the army in February this year. When the war broke out, I was attending the tenth grade graduation ceremony in Linica. I have never driven a tank. I was a loader."

Wang Zhong: "I'm asking how long you have been doing combat training on the tank?"

The private soldier scratched his head: "I don't know. Most of the time we trained in a wooden simulation warehouse. I got on the tank last month. I drove for dozens of hours in total, right?"

- Only stayed on the tank for 60 hours. If the members of the 40th Tank Army are all of this level, it's no wonder that they ran here and broke down for 40%.

The quality of the tanks is not good, and the quality of the combat members is not good either. How can they face the elite Prosen armored soldiers head-on?

Wang Zhong looked at these young faces and made up his mind not to confront the Proson armored forces head-on in the future.

Anyway, the battlefield is so vast, I can just bully your infantry.

At this time, the child king who answered the question first asked: "Who are you?"

Wang Zhong: "I am Rokosov."

The children all widened their eyes.

Wang Zhong spread his hands and added: "As you can see, I am just an ordinary person and can't tear up a tank with my hands."

The children looked at each other.

Wang Zhong continued: "I am not six meters tall, and I can't use a saber to split bullets."

A girl asked: "Then do you have an angel?"

"Of course..." Wang Zhong wanted to say of course not, but then he thought, Lyudmila is more beautiful than an angel, and Nelly is the same, it seems that it can't be said that there is no angel at all.

Of course, angels may refer to muscular big guys who are several meters tall and can lift mortals up and swing them as hammers, but there is indeed no such thing. That is the emperor's angel.

The girl blinked her big eyes: "Do you have one?"

Wang Zhong: "I don't have one."

In the end, he chose not to add supernatural elements to his legend.

The little girl looked visibly disappointed.

Wang Zhong: "I will ask the priests of the army to come to you later. You will stay with the priests and help with the logistics of cooking and washing clothes, okay?"

It felt that if he directly persuaded these children to leave, they might not be willing, so Wang Zhong chose a tricky way, letting the children become hired workers of the army, and then they would naturally follow the army when they left.

The child king was very happy to hear that he could help: "Okay! Before, the priest wanted to send us away, but I said we would not leave, because we still have family members to find, and maybe they will come to find us. But we will help Rokossov fight the Proson devils!"

"Yes!" The children said in unison.

Wang Zhong: "Okay, so when the priests come, follow them, remember to work hard, otherwise the soldiers may have no clothes to wear and no food to eat!"

"Yes!" The child king took the lead in standing at attention and saluting, and the other children immediately followed suit, looking like they were doing it.

Wang Zhong was riding on a horse and couldn't stand at attention, but he tried to straighten his upper body and salute all of them.

Then the Commandant's evening patrol continued.
