Arc of Gunfire

Chapter 720 General Andrei failed again (8.6K)

Lieutenant Carl was sweating. At this time, he had time to look at Koschel's car and found that only the driver and the electromechanical engineer climbed out of the car.

The driver met Lieutenant Carl's gaze and shook his head. It seemed that all three people in the turret were dead.

Lieutenant Carr made a "stay where you are and defend" gesture to the two men.

Now the whole village is full of Ant people. The two survivors of the Koshel car have not brought out their submachine guns yet and only have pistols for self-defense. No matter what they think, they should not cross the village at this time, but should hide under the car and wait for rescue.

After confirming that the two people had climbed into the bottom of the car, Lieutenant Carl issued an order through the internal line: "The Kosher car is finished, we have to fight the remaining enemies ourselves. Driver, turn left, we will leave the village along the road, and then outflank it from the outside ”

According to Lieutenant Karl's new instructions, when they start to outflank again, all Ant tanks will be on their right side, so that there is no need to rotate the turret significantly.

The King Tiger tank roared and turned, then rushed along the road and drove out of the village, then turned right again and entered the outflanking route.

At this time, the Ant tank parked in the other half of the village finally ignited its engine and began to turn.

Lieutenant Carl: "The side of the enemy's car is exposed, fire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gunner fired, and the armor-piercing bullet hit the center of the Ant tank, causing it to stop immediately.

But more Ant tanks completed the turn, and their bodies were aimed head-on at Lieutenant Carl's No. 217 King Tiger.

A Rokosov Type 1 tank fired its gun. The 100mm gun, which frightened the Prosin army on the Eastern Front, fired an armor-piercing projectile, directly hitting the side of the No. 217 tank. Then, a string of sparks was drawn along the side armor and flew towards the tank. The wilderness behind.

At this time, the No. 217 hull was facing the Ant tank at a very small angle. The incident angle of the shell hitting the side was very bad, and it was not unusual for the ricochet to occur.

"Hurry up and reload!" Lieutenant Carl shouted, "Well done, driver. If the car body were not at this angle, we would all be dead!"

Driver: "Ah? Is it my fault?"

In fact, this was a coincidence. Lieutenant Karl ordered the outflank from the right mainly to concentrate all the enemies on one side of the tank, making it easier for the gunner to aim. Unexpectedly, he could use the angle of the vehicle body to jump a life-threatening armor-piercing projectile.

At this time, the gunner fired the second shot, and a Rokossov-1 was hit - because the distance was so close, Lieutenant Karl could see the shot site on the enemy.

The Ant tank crew seemed to have learned the lesson and did not jump out of the tank immediately. Therefore, the anti-aircraft machine gun held by Lieutenant Karl had no target to hit.

The third Rokosov I directly hit the cover and seemed to have lost its will to fight.

"Turn left. We'll be farther away from the village. We should be able to get around the smoke and get a shooting opportunity."

No. 217 turns left deftly, away from the village. Sure enough, they once again captured the fleeing enemy, but before Lieutenant Karl could give the order, an armor-piercing round from the slope on the east side of the road hit the side of the Rokosov-1.

But because it was too far away, it was obvious that this shot did not penetrate.

Immediately afterwards, five rounds of the same armor-piercing bullet hit the Rokosov Type 1, causing it to stop immediately. It is not known whether the engine was damaged or the fragments that collapsed from the inside of the armor killed the people in the tank.

At this time, Lieutenant Carl saw a Jarhead driving out of the village. The commander on the turret pointed his head at Carl's No. 217 King Tiger.

"Release the smoke!" Carl shouted.

The smoke bomb was immediately thrown out and exploded in the air. The white smoke generated suddenly captured Lieutenant Carl's sight.

Karl: "Turn right! Let's use a counter logic and 'get out' on the right side of the smoke."

Ten seconds later, No. 217 emerged from the right side of the smoke, and the enemy's muzzle was indeed facing the left side of the smoke.

Captain Ant immediately ordered the turret to be rotated. However, No. 217 had been prepared for a long time. The gunner only made slight adjustments before firing. The shell hit the Jarhead's body. Yes, No. 217 was finally able to rely on this distance. The angle of depression hit the hull armor of the enemy's new medium tank.

The medium tank immediately burst into flames.

It seems that at this distance, the King Tiger's 105 gun can reliably penetrate the armor of the enemy's two new tanks. Of course, the experience of the Koshel vehicle also shows that the King Tiger's armor boasted by the science department is no match for paper at this distance. It can be penetrated randomly by Ant's 100mm cannon.

The gunner shouted: "How many more enemies are there!"

"I don't know. In short, we will fight as many as we can until we are killed. Just like what is sung in the military song, 'Only a loyal chariot can give us a steel tomb.'"

However, the armored troops of the Anters have been completely lost, otherwise the Rokosov Type 1 just now would not have escaped.

Lieutenant Karl's tanks outflanked them until they could see his company's tanks on the east side of the road, and then he ordered over the radio: "Turn left, drive a hundred meters, then turn on the spot and point the front of the vehicle towards the village."

"yes."

The driver immediately obeyed the order and parked the car at the place specified verbally by Lieutenant Carr.

The lieutenant climbed out of the turret and stood on the edge of the vehicle. He opened the buttons on his jacket and stood on the turret with his hands on his hips, looking at the village with more than a dozen lines of thick smoke rising.

However, the smoke did not come from the burned house, but from the destroyed Ant tank.

Six other tanks from the second company of the 502nd Battalion lined up and drove to the village.

Karl ordered over the radio: "Don't line up in front of me. I'm not going to have a military parade. Immediately set up a defense line in the northeast of the village to prepare to block the enemy's attacking troops."

As soon as he finished speaking, a BMW three-wheeled motorcycle came running along the road and braked suddenly in front of Tank No. 217.

The officer in the tank climbed out of the car and ran excitedly to No. 217, patting the tank body with his hands: "Thank you so much, thank you so much, you saved my unit!"

Looking at the rank and the insignia on his body, Karl judged that this was the commander of the assault gun battalion trapped between the enemy and the swamp.

Lieutenant Carl felt that it was not good to stand on the car body and talk to people, so he jumped to the ground. As a result, before he could stand still, the excited assault gun battalion commander gave him a bear hug.

Battalion Commander: "We are desperate. We were preparing to support the 290th Division, but halfway through we suddenly found that we were surrounded by swamps and enemies! The enemy tanks should have driven off the road while we were resting in the woods. In the past, I thought the noise on the highway was our own troops!”

Lieutenant Carl frowned. The enemy may have relaxed, but the assault gun battalion commander also felt relaxed. Has this war entered a worse stage?

After the hug ended, Lieutenant Karl made a serious request to the commander of the assault gun battalion: "We are preparing to bomb the northeastern part of the village to block the enemy's large forces, and we need the assistance of the assault gun battalion."

"Understood, I will have two assault gun companies deployed on your flanks to prevent the Ant tanks from sneaking up on your flanks. I will deploy the third assault gun company in the woods over there, just enough to hit the Ant tanks attacking you. side!”

The battalion commander pointed to the woods west of the road.

"But we hope to have infantry to cover us in the forest, otherwise it will be terrible if the assault artillery unit without a turret is touched by enemy infantry."

Lieutenant Carr: "You will have infantry support."

"That's good, I'll go back to the troops and give orders." After saying this, the battalion commander took a step back and saluted Lieutenant Carl.

The lieutenant returned the greeting slowly, as if he were a higher-ranking officer.

At this time, the infantrymen came over in the communication vehicle of the communication company. A large number of infantrymen filled the roof of the communication vehicle and used the communication antenna as an armrest.

After the communication vehicle stopped, the infantry lieutenant who had briefed Karl on the situation was the first to get out of the car: "Report to Lieutenant, we saw the battle between your two vehicles. It's so exciting!"

Lieutenant Karl: "I got it. Now I'll give you infantry a mission. Follow the commander of the assault gun battalion over there. He has a company that wants to ambush in the woods, and you guys have to cover them."

Second Lieutenant: "What? We just came out of the woods over there!"

"Then divide one platoon and go back, and the other platoons will stay in the village."

The second lieutenant turned back to the infantrymen who had just dismounted and shouted: "Third Platoon mounts the assault guns and prepares to return to the woods we just left."

As the infantrymen complained, Lieutenant Carr said to the communications platoon leader, "Does the AM radio work?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Company Commander."

"Receiving the battalion headquarters, we have encountered a large number of enemies. The 290th Division's defense line must have been breached. We need the support of infantry and anti-tank guns!"

————

More than an hour later, smoke appeared on the northeast highway, and the sound of the engine also penetrated Lieutenant Carl's ears.

The lieutenant immediately got up from the cot where he had taken a nap, and without even bothering to close the cot, he rushed onto the road and stood in the middle of the road to observe the smoke and dust in the distance with his binoculars.

He immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Why are the enemies lined up in a marching formation?"

When the tanks are marching, especially when marching on the road, they form a long snake formation to facilitate the use of roads.

But using this formation in battle is 100% seeking death.

Lieutenant Carl wondered to himself: "Didn't any surviving Ant people think of informing the follow-up troops that this place has been occupied?"

When the gunner heard this, he said: "It's possible that they hurriedly activated their tanks when they were attacked by us. They were so relaxed and panicked. It's not surprising that they forgot."

Lieutenant Carl used the telescope to observe again and confirmed that the enemy was indeed coming here in a single column, and the distance between the two tanks was still small. After the first tank was stopped, there might be a "chain attack". car accident".

"No matter," Karl picked up the radio, "Three assault gun batteries, three assault gun batteries!"

"I am the Third Company, please speak."

"Please attack the enemy tank array and cut off the rear vehicle."

"Sir, these are T34W models. We can easily penetrate their flanks, so I have just assigned targets to ensure that each assault gun is responsible for one target. The first salvo will destroy the 20 tanks on the enemy's tail."

"Very well, I leave it to you."

Putting down the microphone, Lieutenant Carl observed the enemy's formation for the third time - he just felt that the enemy's formation, which looked like a snake on a mountain, was deceitful.

But after reading it several times, I still can’t see what’s wrong.

Besides, those are all T34W. Even if the main gun is far away, it may not be able to penetrate the front armor of the No. 3 assault gun, and it is helpless against the armor of the King Tiger.

It seems that the Proson Armored Corps is going to have an amazing exchange ratio here again today.

Just like the first year of the war!

No, Lieutenant Karl remembered his own experience in the first year of the war. Other tank units were using Ant's tanks to earn Iron Cross medals by using their battle results. Lieutenant Karl's tank was penetrated within a few days of entering Ant's territory.

At that time, he was an electrician, and the penetration position was right next to him. The driver had been beaten to a bloody mess, and the gunner's foot in the turret was hit by shrapnel, and he screamed in pain.

The commander shouted: "Abandon the car! Everyone abandon the car!"

This was Lieutenant Karl's first battle. He climbed out of the tank and stumbled into the crater next to him. At this time, the commander stared at him and said: "Your shoulder is injured, bandage it quickly!"

Only then did Karl find that his shoulder was red, and it didn't seem to be the driver's blood.

The moment he found the injury, severe pain came through his brain.

Karl shouted shamefully.

This was Lieutenant Karl's memorable first battle.

He waved away the thoughts in his mind, raised his right hand, and held the microphone in his left hand: "Fire!"

The moment the order was issued, the No. 217 vehicle opened fire. The lead vehicle of the enemy column, which had just approached 1,800 meters, was hit and stopped, and the second tank really hit it unexpectedly.

The assault gun battalion also opened fire, and Lieutenant Karl could see the flames burning behind the enemy's column.

It seemed that the assault guns did not use the newly issued sub-caliber armor-piercing shells, but the old ammunition with sufficient charge.

"Keep firing! Don't give them a chance to breathe! They dare to march like this in enemy territory without sending out reconnaissance troops, and they will pay the price with their lives!"

————

"How much loss?" General Andre's eyes widened.

"All 200 tanks were lost." The commander of the 20th Tank Army said with his head down, "including the T54 and Rokosov-1 tanks that were reinforced for us to use for armored confrontation."

General Andrei sat down on the chair dejectedly: "It's over, it's all over. The Tsar will question me for losing so many new tanks."

The front chief of staff suggested: "Although the tank troops were severely damaged, we can use infantry to encircle them. The combat area is full of woods and swamps, and the tank troops may not be able to perform."

General Andrei: "Nonsense! Didn't the enemy Strawitz battle group reasonably use the tank troops to cooperate with the infantry to cause us heavy casualties?"

The chief of staff shut up.

General Andre: "But we can try to see if we can complete the encirclement with pure infantry and anti-tank guns."

————

Marshal von Lehr, commander of the Plossen Northern Army Group, looked at the map seriously: "According to the report of the 502nd Battalion, the enemy's breakthrough in the 290th Division's position has been temporarily contained. We have regained control of the road, but we are still in danger.

"The enemy can use infantry to cross the forest and swamp to encircle us at any time. We need to concentrate our superior forces to push the enemy back."

The Chief of Staff of the Army Group: "The reserve forces we have are only one armored division of the Asgard Knights, and two heavy armored battalions, 502 and 503. The 502nd Battalion has 28 heavy tanks in combat readiness, and the 503rd Battalion is better, with 33 tanks in combat readiness.

"With these troops - I'm not sure if we can launch a successful counterattack."

Marshal von Lehr: "If we reinforce two more infantry divisions, there should be no problem. I remember that we have two infantry divisions resting in Navajo?"

"Yes. But the replenishment of these two divisions is very bad. All the reinforcements in August and September were forcibly added to the Southern Army Group. These two divisions rested for two months, which means that except for the veterans who returned from injuries, they did not get any reinforcements." The chief of staff was very resentful when he spoke.

After all, the lazy people in the Southern Army Group received reinforcements from the four armored divisions drawn from the Western Front and received reinforcements first, but they still collapsed and almost bulged out the land that the Southern Army Group swallowed up when the war started in 1914.

Marshal von Ler: "How many people are there in total in these two divisions?"

"16,000." The chief of staff replied, "According to the original replenishment plan, the two divisions should have restored their troops to 10,000."

Marshal von Ler: "The 4,000-man gap is not so fatal. Let these two divisions move to the front line and join the counterattack battle group. By the 10th, we must completely defeat the enemy's attack!"

————

"This is a victory!" Emperor Prossen held a telegram from the Northern Army Group in his hand, "Our heavy tanks, with two against more than 20 enemy tanks, the final exchange ratio was 22 to 1! This is not counting the gains from ambushing the enemy troops at the blocking position later!"

The emperor raised the telegram in his hand, as if showing off his achievements to the marshals and generals in the room: "Look, using the same equipment, the Northern Army Group has achieved a brilliant victory! This shows that it is not a problem of equipment, but people! Generals of other army groups, don't blame the enemy's new weapons for the defeat in the future!

"This also proves that our King Tiger tanks are excellent! It can completely defeat similar products of Ant. "

Marshal Celt reminded: "We just thwarted the rapid advance of the enemy's armored forces, and it is far from a glorious victory, right?"

"No, this is a glorious victory!" The emperor clapped the telegram in his hand, "Heroic Proson armored troops, with two Tiger King tanks, launched an attack on an independent tank brigade and a heavy breakthrough tank regiment of the enemy!"

The propaganda minister who attended the military meeting said: "We can do some processing, without lying, to make the masses mistakenly believe that we won the victory in a situation of 2 to 69."

(Ant has 48 tanks in an independent tank brigade and 21 in a heavy breakthrough tank regiment.)

The emperor thought for a while and nodded: "Very good, let's do it! We didn't deceive the people, we just forgot to tell them that half of the enemy's tank troops were already lying down because they were marching long distances on bad ground."

The Celtic marshal looked at General Moltke and other new officers who were trusted by the emperor.

The general averted his eyes.

The emperor was still thinking about his speech: "We also want to tell the people that there will be many successful defensive operations like this, and our army will firmly hold the Ant people and prevent them from entering the territory of Plosen!

"When the war lasts longer, the Ant people will definitely be unable to hold on and actively seek peace!"

Everyone in the office was silent now, except for Grand Duke Meyer who kept wiping his sweat.

At this moment, an air raid siren sounded outside the window.

The emperor scolded: "Those things about enriching one's own pockets, but I didn't expect that I would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy an air defense siren. They are all so arrogant."

Celtic Marshal: "I'm going to call them and ask them to stop the alarm——"

Emperor: "No! I think it's better to make the air raid sirens more piercing! You're right, Grand Duke Meyer!"

Meyer trembled all over, and then looked at the emperor: "Well... in the past month, due to the hard work of Air Force pilots, the production capacity lost due to bombing has dropped by seven percentage points compared with the same period!

"But the enemy suddenly adopted a new bombing method. After the bombers dropped bombs, they flew to the airport in Ant to land, refueled and replenished ammunition there, and then flew back to bomb again.

"When they flew back, our air force on the eastern front was unable to effectively intercept these hedgehogs full of cannons."

The emperor looked at Grand Duke Meyer: "Listen to what you said, a reduction of seven percent? I almost fell into your word game. You didn't mean seven percent of the total production capacity, but seven percent of the total production capacity." Seven percent of production capacity lost!”

Grand Duke Meyer took out a spare handkerchief—no, a towel, and began frantically wiping the sweat from his face.

The emperor sighed: "For the sake of containing at least 7% of the losses, we will not pursue it this time. But it is best not to have a next time, it is best not to have one!"

Grand Duke Meyer nodded repeatedly.

The emperor looked at the propaganda picture again: "For matters related to propaganda, prepare according to your own ideas. If there is anything you need me to speak about, feel free to mention it."

The propaganda minister nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

————

After Wang Zhong saw the telegram, he sighed: "Was it defeated by the enemy? The last time we saw such exaggerated numbers was the result of the enemy's No. 4 tank destroyer ambushing us during the summer offensive."

Pavlov: "The front army headquarters should not be able to obtain the detailed details of the battle so quickly. It can only report the number of losses."

Popov asked: "Is it because the enemy's King Tiger tank has put in new armor-piercing bullets? I remember that we also captured this kind of armor-piercing bullets. The armor-piercing ability was improved, but the charge was very small. Our tanks almost didn't survive after being hit. Will burn."

Wang Zhong: "It's possible. The enemy is constantly updating their equipment, and we have to do it as soon as possible.

"The T54 equipped with the new engine can greatly strengthen the frontal armor. I plan to name these T54 T55."

As for the style of additional armor, Wang Zhong had already thought about it, so he followed the method of Maozi on Earth and added "eyebrows" to the tank.

It's a pity that we can't make explosive reactive armor now. Otherwise, if we get explosive reactive armor and add infrared headlights, we can pass it off as a T80!

War Thunder players were ecstatic at the thought of this, and even wanted to use shortcut keys to send a radio message asking to attack point D.

At this time, the windowpane of the headquarters map room suddenly shook and made a clanging sound.

Vasily: "According to the weather forecast, the cold air is moving south and the temperature is about to drop. Marshal, do you think the Plosen people will collapse again due to the cold winter?"

Wang Zhong: "This is already the third year. If the Prosen people are not ready to deal with General Dong, they deserve to be defeated."

Vasily: "That's right. By the way, do you think the Prosin newspaper will start boasting that this is the first time the empire has blocked Marshal Rokossov's attack in winter?"

Wang Zhong: "They didn't block it either. Most of my tactical goals have been achieved. Look at how smooth our front line is now. It can save at least four divisions of troops!"

Vasily: "The enemy can say that you were originally planning to recapture Volania, but were stopped."

Wang Zhong thought for a while and nodded: "This is indeed a possibility. It is not a good thing for the enemy to boost domestic morale, but we really do not have the strength to launch a large-scale attack in winter."

Popov: "The troops are exhausted, and now they rely entirely on high morale to fight. They won't be able to recover if they don't stop for half a year."

————

On November 10, the day the counterattack began, Lieutenant Karl got into his No. 217 tank and saw the gunner and loader lighting a small bonfire with oil drums inside the tank.

Lieutenant Carl: "Damn it, don't do these things in front of me that will make the mechanic scream!"

Gunner: "We are very careful not to set the tank on fire. Without a fire, we have to start the tank and rely on the heat of the engine to keep warm. Are you sure this won't make the mechanic make a sharp explosion?"

The operating hours of the King Tiger tank engine are very precious. Normally, the engine will not be started. Even if it is idled after starting, it will reduce the precious trouble-free operating time.

It takes a very long time to repair the Tiger King tank, and it will take at least two days.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lieutenant Carl gave up the idea of ​​letting the gunner put out the fire, and squeezed in to roast himself.

"Damn, thanks to the spacious interior of our tank, if it was Ant's tank, you would dare to set it on fire."

The interior of the Ant tank was very crowded, and it would definitely burn something if it was set on fire.

After roasting for a few seconds, Lieutenant Carl asked: "What's the smell?"

"Ah, I pooped in the tank, and the shit has been shoveled out, don't worry."

"Fuck!"

"It's so cold outside, are you sure you want me to squat in the snow to poop? That will only freeze the shit on my butt. When we drove the No. 3 through the winter before, we pooped in the car."

Lieutenant Carl sighed: "I haven't experienced the Ante winter. I was injured and went back to recuperate in the first year of the offensive. In the second year, I was undergoing re-equipment training like you. This is my first time."

Gunner: "You will soon understand the benefits of pooping in the tank. The military song sings 'Only the loyal tank will give us a steel grave', but in fact it also gives us a steel toilet hahahahaha."

Lieutenant Carl also laughed.

Suddenly he asked: "So what about peeing? Why don't you smell urine? Or did you pee outside?"

"It's not time yet. When the winter in Ant is so cold that the hot water just boiled will freeze instantly if it is poured into the air, we should pee in the tank."

Lieutenant Carl shook his head repeatedly.

At this time, the radio beeped, he stood up, picked up the headset and microphone, and heard someone calling him, so he replied: "I am Lieutenant Carl of the 2nd Company of the 502nd Battalion, go ahead."

"Prepare to attack, start the tank, Lieutenant!"

"Yes."

Carl patted the gunner's shoulder: "Put out the fire, take the crank, and let's start the tank!"

In such a cold day, the electric ignition is likely to fail.

The gunner picked up the bucket beside him, poured the sand in it into the bucket with the bonfire, and pressed the burning firewood tightly.

After putting out the fire, the three climbed out of the tank, inserted the crank into the hole next to the engine, and cranked it with all their strength.

The Tiger King next to him was also doing the same thing, and soon the engine sound resounded through the snowy plains.

————

On November 11, the report was sent to the headquarters of the First Front of Khazaria.

"Sure enough, we were pushed back by the enemy." Pavlov handed the report to Wang Zhong, "It seems that the previous breakthrough was just luck, or the enemy was too rubbish."

Wang Zhong: "So why let him lead the St. Andrew Front? Are our senior generals really so scarce?"

"Maybe we cleaned up too many surrenderists before." Pavlov shrugged, "I think that if Yegorov accumulates more experience and qualifications, he can be arranged to be the commander of a certain front."

Wang Zhong: "Egorov? No, he has received intermediate military education, and leading an army group is almost the end. If he wants to move up, he has to go back to the military academy. Do you think he is willing?"

Pavlov thought about it and replied: "I think he will say, 'The last-ranked division commander can also fight He is so good, what's the point of studying! '"

Wang Zhong laughed loudly, and then continued: "Besides, I still count on him for next year's attack. I think Kashukh and Kirienko are both good. They are lieutenant general-level officers and have received complete military education. They are very suitable to be the commander of the front. "

Popov: "We now recommend the appointment of Kashukh and Kirienko as the commander of the front. Will it be considered as expanding power? The Rokosov faction is now feared by many people."

Wang Zhong: "The country has not been completely liberated, and the Prosen devils have not been eliminated. Some people have started fighting among themselves. It's time for the court to give them a good beating."

"You are a living saint, you have the final say. The Patriarch's words may not be as effective as yours now." Popov said.

Vasily: "Ah? Isn't the marshal a popular candidate for the next Patriarch? Living saint!"

Wang Zhong: "You are the only one who talks too much!"

Don't make me suffer!

At this time, Pavlov suddenly said: "If you are a living saint, can you preside over weddings and funerals?"

Popov: "According to the canon, saints are clergy and can preside over them."

Wang Zhong: "Why, do you want to get married again?"

"No, my wife and children are fine, why should I get married? I just want to see if Yegorov and Dr. Katya can wait until our attack is over so that we can get things done?"

Wang Zhong couldn't help but glance at Pavlov's bald head, thinking that this guy clearly didn't get along with Yegorov when the war just started, but now he is worrying about his wedding.

War can really bring all kinds of changes.

Wang Zhong thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

After all, "get married after this war" is a famous death flag, and the battlefield is very weird.

Pavlov: "Is it legal to hold a wedding for them in the name of the front?"

Popov: "The military bishop has never been involved in such matters. Usually, it is the local church that is in charge. Can I ask the local church in Roniezh?"

Wang Zhong: "Ask. When our tactical goals are achieved and Yegorov returns from the front, give him a surprise. Doctor Katya can tell her first, after all, her hospital is not far from Roniezh."

This attack was a tactical one. The troops did not advance too far. Wang Zhong's headquarters and various major logistics agencies basically did not move in place. This was unprecedented.

In the past, there was either a big retreat or a big advance to chase and annihilate the remaining enemies. Once the headquarters and logistics agencies stayed in one place for a long time, it meant that the front line was fighting bloody battles with the enemy.

Vasily: "Marshal, don't you write a song about their battlefield love?"

Wang Zhong thought to himself that you said it lightly. I am not a really talented musician. I have to think of a suitable song before I can copy it!

Vasily: "I went to see Filippov before. He seemed to have written a poem, but the atmosphere was not suitable for the wedding day."

Wang Zhong: "Give it to me."

Vasily immediately opened his notebook, turned to one of the pages and handed it to Wang Zhong: "I copied the poem down."

Wang Zhong laughed when he saw the poem, because the content of the poem was very similar to the famous song "Walking Through the Tall Grass" by the Liubai Band. It felt that this famous song could be copied.

Vasily: "How do you feel?"

Wang Zhong thought to himself that I am not a real literary youth. If you ask me to evaluate poetry, I can only say -

"It has a romantic atmosphere." To hide his embarrassment, he continued, "I have an idea, Vasily, please write it down."

Then Wang Zhong hummed the melody in his memory:

After two springs, summers, autumns and winters,

How many people have forgotten me,

How many people have left me.

I returned to my hometown, my temples were full of frost,

My comrades were scattered all over the world, and only the medal on my chest accompanied me.

I walked on the path covered with weeds and walked through the tall grass.

I want to take a deep breath of the air of this land,

The smell I have long forgotten.
