Chapter 24 "Procedure? This is the procedure!"

As soon as Yegorov entered the door, his first sentence was: "Why put the headquarters on the front line? This is too dangerous. Let's move to the middle of the village. I saw it outside. There is a three-story building."

Wang Zhong was drinking water. When he saw Yegorov coming in, he directly returned the water glass to the landlady of the house, wiped his mouth and said: "Don't worry about this for now. Do you know how to make a simple incendiary bomb? Just use strong alcohol. Replace the bottle cork with a cloth soaked in wine and light the cloth before throwing it away.”

Yegorov: "Of course I have seen it. The Manaheim people used this thing against us during the Winter War."

Wang Zhong: "Then why didn't I see you using it in Ronezh?"

Yegorov: "Because we can't find the right wine. The alcohol content of the moonshine that the people drink is too low and contains many impurities, so it can't be lit. We can only use gasoline to make it, but we are an infantry unit and we still don't have motorized infantry. We don’t have gasoline, but we have been given a lot of fodder for our mules and horses.”

Wang Zhong: "I don't believe you can't find strong liquor!"

"There is strong liquor, in the noble's cellar."

At this time, the landlady who had just spoken to Wang Zhongshui said: "Mr. Boyer has a brewery in the town. Every year, he brews vodka from wheat and transports it to Agsukov for sale."

Wang Zhong: "Did you hear that? Go and requisition that winery."

Yegorov looked embarrassed: "I have already sent people there, but they were blocked by Master Boye's housekeeper."

Wang Zhong: "Butler?"

He gritted his teeth and stood up: "I'm going to see what's going on."

He took two steps and looked back at the landlady: "Miss Natasha, you'd better run away. These Prossens are worse than animals."

The landlady smiled: "I heard what you said to the old lady Ilinichna next door. But none of their family has left. You see, I am a widow, and there is no reason to leave. People from Prosin can't take it for granted. Should we kill them all? He killed everyone, who will grow wheat in such a vast land?"

Wang Zhong: "But I saw them massacre indiscriminately! The village square was filled with killed corpses!"

Landlady: "Then we can only ask you to avenge us."

Wang Zhong understood that no one would think that the enemy was so cruel unless they saw it with their own eyes.

He wanted to persuade him a little more, but he had more important things to do now, so he had to give up.

He turned around, took two steps and staggered, and then shouted to Yegorov: "Get a stretcher! I have a fever now and I have no strength to walk!"

Yegorov immediately shouted to his men: "Stretcher!"

Just at this time, Chief of Staff Pavlov came in. Seeing Wang Zhong's appearance, he said: "Count Rokosov is in this state and is not suitable for commanding the troops. Let him move backwards with the field hospital."

Wang Zhong: "You plan to deprive me of my right to command? Be brave!"

He felt very uncomfortable at this time. People have bad tempers at this time, and they are particularly accepting of death.

Wang Zhong didn't want to retreat at all, he just wanted to fuck the Prosen people here.

He wanted to do nothing but this. He would argue with anyone who had different opinions.

When his fever subsides, he will probably be shocked by his decision at this time.

Wang Zhong: "I think you are a spy, just like the fake bishop. You want to throw our chain of command into chaos! Come here! Shoot him!"

Pavlov immediately gave up: "No, I don't mean that!"

A corporal has already stepped forward with a gun. It seems that this Pavlovian staff officer usually has a bad reputation among ordinary soldiers.

Pavlov raised his voice: "I'm just worried about your health! Spare your life!"

Wang Zhong: "If you talk nonsense again, I'll cut you off!"

At this time, the stretcher came in, and the two stretcher bearers looked confused because they did not see the wounded.

Wang Zhong pointed in front of him: "Put it here!"

The stretcher-bearer quickly put the stretcher in front of him.

He sat down on the stretcher unceremoniously and waved his hand: "Go to the winery! Yegorov, follow me!"————

The winery is right next to the tractor station that Wang Zhong saw before. It seems that this area is the property of the local lord Boye.

In front of the large carved iron gate, there were already several thugs on guard with shotguns.

Wang Zhong was carried by two stretcher soldiers and ran towards the gate.

One of the thugs raised his right hand and made a "stop" gesture: "The front is Mr. Boyer's private property. Stop, soldier!"

Wang Zhong: “We have expropriated this place, including the winery and the wine inside.”

The thug turned around and shouted: "Mr. Korshov!"

Immediately, a guy dressed as a clerk came out of the small house next to the door with a big belly. He yawned and staggered over: "What's wrong?"

"The lieutenant colonel said he wanted to requisition the winery."

Korshov: "Do you have any procedures for expropriation?"

Wang Zhong: "The Proson Japs are only twenty miles away from here! We need spirits to make Molotov cocktails."

"Well, what does that have to do with us?" Korshuv spread his hands, "Mr. Boyer entrusted this place to me before retreating. You must go through the procedures if you want to requisition it."

Wang Zhong was ill and had a bad temper at this time, so he shouted: "Hindering our army's combat preparations, I suspect you are a Proson spy!"

Korshov: "Then you should go to the Inquisition..."

Wang Zhong pulled out Yegorov's gun next to him and shot Korshuv in the stomach.

Several thugs with shotguns were shocked. Apparently they didn't expect Wang Zhongzhen to fire.

Wang Zhong: "They are enemies! They are spies! Shoot!"

Yegorov raised his submachine gun and started firing.

After a few seconds, there was silence in front of the door.

A platoon of infantrymen trotted over. The sergeant leading the team shouted from a distance: "Captain! What's going on?"

Yegorov: "A few spies were discovered. It's nothing serious."

Wang Zhong: "Take their keys, open the door, and requisition all the wine inside. Arrange for a veteran who knows how to make Molotov cocktails to lead someone to make Molotov cocktails.

"The remaining veterans who know how to use Molotov cocktails are divided into parts. One person leads two recruits. The recruits take the bottles and the veterans throw them. Occupy the two-story buildings on both sides of the street!

"Egorov, you choose a good place to set up the machine gun, try to block the enemy tanks and infantry, and create opportunities for the bombardiers!"

Yegorov nodded: "I understand. In addition, I suggest you set up the headquarters in the winery."

Wang Zhong looked at the winery building in front of him.

Yegorov: "This building is obviously made of reinforced concrete. Even if the enemy uses heavy artillery, it cannot be blown up. This can also be used as our last fortress."

Wang Zhong didn't care about this. He focused on the water tower of the winery: "Is that water tower the tallest building in the village?"

Yegorov: "Yes, a little higher than the bell tower of the church."

Wang Zhong: "Okay. The headquarters is right here."

Yegorov: "There are also Lubokov's tank troops. Look..."

Wang Zhong: "These tanks are important mobile support forces. I have to personally arrange their positions."
