Chapter 11 Preserving strength is to better destroy the enemy
Captain Sergey parked his car in front of the building. Wang Zhong rushed down in a hurry. He took two steps and remembered something important. He turned around and said to Sergey who was following him: "Give me your pants."

Sergey felt like he was facing a formidable enemy: "No! This way I won't be able to brag in front of girls anymore!"

Wang Zhong made a serious face: "This is an order! It will affect the morale of the troops. If morale collapses, we will have to go to the prisoner of war camp to meet each other."

Wang Zhong thought it was not a bad thing to go to the prisoner of war camp to meet each other, but in this situation, he could no longer say "let's surrender".

He could only struggle a little.

Sergey was still arrogant: "I think the impact on morale if we change our pants in public is immeasurable."

Wang Zhong looked around: "No one is paying attention to us. Now they are more worried about the enemy. Hurry, we will be replaced in a few seconds!"

"You've finished changing! I'm done!" Sergey forced himself to take off his pants, and Wang Zhong also unbuckled his belt and took off the pants with the original Alexei's "authentic signature."

Underneath the military trousers were boxer briefs. Wang Zhong was greatly relieved after confirming this.

However, at this moment, a group of officers emerged from the building.

The leading officer, who was also a lieutenant colonel like Wang Zhong, was stunned when he saw this scene.

The staff officers behind the lieutenant colonel were even more stunned, their mouths opened in an O shape.

Wang Zhong forced himself to put on a calm expression and put on the pants he had changed into.

Sergey was a little shorter than Wang Zhong, so he could only try his best to pull up the waistband of his pants.

After finishing changing his clothes, Wang Zhong said with a straight face: "What were you arguing about just now? You can hear it from all the way!"

"Ah?" The lieutenant colonel who was being questioned looked at Wang Zhong, blinked, and asked tentatively, "Count Alexei Konstantinovich Rokosov?"

Wang Zhong: "It's me, don't you recognize my voice? I can recognize you, Lieutenant Colonel Ivan Pandelevich Yegorov, commander of the Third Post-Amur Regiment."

In fact, Wang Zhong can remember such a long list mainly because the unit number and commander's name and rank are written on the soldier's card.

Also due to the existence of the golden finger, Wang Zhong knew that the people he met were the Third Post Amur Regiment. Combining the two pieces of information, he could naturally deduce that the person in front of him was Yegorov, the leader of the Third Post Amur Regiment. Lieutenant Colonel.

Before answering Wang Zhong, Yegorov glanced at Captain Sergey who was putting on his pants, and his eyes stayed on the water stains for a full second.

Wang Zhong took a step forward and blocked Yegorov's sight: "Lieutenant Colonel, although we have the same military rank, I am entrusted by the Duke to command the entire army. I am your superior."

Yegorov did not react, but the staff officer beside him saluted.

Yegorov suddenly realized it and stood at attention and saluted: "You are the count, I should salute you."

Wang Zhong responded in a similar manner: "What were you arguing about just now?"

Yegorov replied: "My staff officer Pavlov just asked us to directly attack the enemy's army headquarters on the captured map. He thinks we should die!"

The staff officer took a step forward: "No! I am saying that we should fight bravely until the last moment. That is the enemy's army headquarters, and our heroic fighting will somewhat change the situation on the battlefield!"

Wang Zhong's first reaction was no, never!
He doesn't even understand the name of the country he belongs to, let alone any sense of loyalty.

Before Wang Zhong could speak, Staff Officer Pavlov continued: "If Lieutenant Colonel Yegorov insists on escaping, he can only be regarded as treason and handed over to the trial court!" Wang Zhong frowned slightly: It seems that he just heard something that should not be A noun that appears in this context?
Inquisition? Another word for court martial?

Yegorov's tone was obviously hesitant, full of flamboyance: "The Tribunal! Huh, where are the judges who usually show off their power and power now? They themselves disappeared first!"

Wang Zhong was speechless. He had no idea what the tribunal and the inquisitor the two men were discussing were about. Could it be similar to the military police?

Because he didn't understand the situation, he chose to shut up and listen more before speaking.

But Yegorov turned the conversation to Wang Zhong: "Let the earl speak! The earl's intention must be to retreat through a small road."

Wang Zhong was shocked, is there a trail? Can you retreat? That's great!

No, you have to hold tight and don't let anyone see any flaws.

Wang Zhong looked at the two officers seriously.

What should I say? Obviously Yegorov knows a small road and can retreat to the rear, so Yegorov should be supported.

But this staff officer named Pavlov looked determined, and he was obviously ready to die generously.

Just when Wang Zhong was in trouble, he suddenly remembered the opening of his favorite movie "General Patton": General Patton gave a speech that lasted several minutes in front of the Stars and Stripes.

Although Wang Zhong could not remember the specific words, he could remember the general meaning, so he said loudly: "Major Pavlov, you are very brave, and your courage is worthy of admiration."

The staff officer held his head high and assumed the posture of a winner.

Wang Zhong: "However, throughout the ages, no victory has been won by bloodshed and sacrifice! To achieve victory, we cannot only bleed and sacrifice ourselves, but also let the enemy bleed and sacrifice!"

"Let the enemy bleed more than we do!"

Wang Zhong paused, as if he wanted to strengthen his tone and give others time to digest his words.

But in fact, he forgot what to say next. He vaguely remembered that one sentence was "wash our tracks with the blood of the enemy", but using this sentence directly felt a little less convincing.

So Wang Zhong began to express himself freely: "You just said that if we attack the enemy's army headquarters now, it may disrupt the enemy's deployment and delay the enemy's advance for a day or two.

"I can only say that you overestimated the role of our regiment and the role of a group army headquarters!

"On the entire front, the enemy has hundreds of divisions in action and dozens of army groups attacking! What's the use of just disrupting a group army?
"No, it's useless! The more efficient way now is to send these soldiers who have experienced the first wave of firefights back to the rear to reorganize and resist the enemy's attack more efficiently!

"The purpose of preserving our vitality now is to better eliminate the enemy in the future and let the enemy bleed and sacrifice, until one day we return the flames of war to their own country and let them defend their homeland!"

Well, now, let’s use Patton’s famous saying!
Wang Zhong stopped to think for a moment, and then said loudly: "What we have to do at that time is to crush their skulls with military boots and wash our tracks with their blood!"

Major Pavlov stared at Wang Zhong for several seconds before relenting and saying, "Okay, you convinced me. Even though I have already seen you change out of your wet pants, you still convinced me."

No, do you really have to talk about peeing your pants? It really wasn’t me who peed!

Damn it, that coward, look at the trap you set for me!

Oh my god, if I get the chance, I'm going to kick that coward's ass!
