Chapter 244 Rokosov’s Attack (912)

At 11 hours on November 10, the headquarters of the 1400st "Red Flag" Mechanized Infantry Division of the Guards.

The two brigadiers were led into the divisional fortress by the staff.

Wang Zhong was quite calm when he saw the two people, because he had already seen two brigades approaching from a bird's eye view.

But he had to act, so he widened his eyes: "Why are there two brigadiers? Isn't there only one artillery brigade?"

"I am the artillery brigade." The brigadier general who entered the door first stood at attention and saluted, "Commander Donnikov of the 33rd artillery brigade! At the disposal of the general!"

Wang Zhong returned the salute and looked at the remaining one: "Then what brigade commander are you?"

Another brigadier general saluted: "Salute to you, General Rokossov! I am Ivanov, commander of the 1st Guards Rocket Artillery Brigade, and we are ordered to give you two salvos."

Wang Zhong was ready to ask, "Why is it only once?" He was stunned when he heard that it was twice.

Did you give it twice?
Pavlov saw Wang Zhong stunned, thinking he was shocked by such a small number of times, so he asked on his behalf: "Why only twice?"

Ivanov looked embarrassed: "We brought ammunition that can be loaded once. It takes a long time to reload between two shots, so you need to pay attention when allocating firepower. This is the manual for our rocket artillery..."

Wang Zhong took the manual and said without reading it: "My plan is this. The artillery brigade and our division's artillery will prepare firepower together for two hours. We must ensure that all the enemy's jars and jars are smashed."

"Then when the artillery switches to Xu Jin barrage, our troops will start to advance, and the rocket launchers will fire again within a kilometer of our troops from the enemy. Wait for my signal."

Ivanov was shocked: "Will you attack personally?"

Wang Zhong: "My father died for his country in Agsukov. The soldiers who escaped said that he was at the front. My father was a general and he was at the front. I am only a major general."

Ivanov's eyes were moist, and the soldier who had seen life and death understood everything when he saw Wang Zhong's expression.

Although Wang Zhongchong's first intention was to use a plug-in to check the situation, this was actually a plan for death.

And Wang Zhong is not afraid at all now. In the worst case, he will go to Quantai to recruit his old troops and kill Yama with a hundred thousand banners. Does the Lord of Hell dare to accept it?
This is the kind of courage that has been tempered through countless battles - no, fearlessness.

Ivanov saluted: "Salute to you! It is a blessing for the soldiers to have a general like you. But there is one problem, our brigade does not have a radio."

Wang Zhong: "What?"

Ivanov: "Our brigade does not have radios. Our army has no practice of equipping artillery with radios."

Wang Zhong remembered that in Aolaqi, the artillery did not have radios, so he placed a BT tank or a T26 at the artillery position, and then established radio contact.

Wang Zhong: "Vasily!"

"Arrived!" Vasily stood up and carried the radio on his back. "I have already charged the Proson battery. It is reliable. I will go with the Guards Rocket Launcher Brigade."

Wang Zhong nodded: "Go."

Ivanov and Vasily left together.

Donnikov: "Where should I find your artillery commander?"

"I'll ask the staff to take you there. We originally had four false artillery positions, all with wooden artillery. We have moved the wooden artillery to the new false positions. You enter these positions. Here here and here."

"I know, by the way, do these fake positions have air defense?" Donnikov asked.

Wang Zhong: "Yes, we loaded the divine arrow launcher on the truck, and the praying hands rode motorcycles. They are all guerrillas around here. In addition, the anti-aircraft artillery battalion positions are deployed here and here, which can just cover the four positions."

Donnikov nodded: "I understand, let the staff lead the way."

Pavlov immediately called a staff officer and asked him to lead the way.

After the two brigade commanders left, Pavlov said: "You can just rush forward and I'll take care of the rest. We still really need support. We also have radios here, which can also be used to capture the enemy, but they are larger."

After saying that, the two of them looked at the radio in the corner, which was removed from the Prosen tank by naval technicians.

It's easy to use.

That is to say, Proson is not good at tanks now. As long as they have a No. 2 F with a long tube, Wang Zhong will command that one.

After all, in War Thunder, his car with the best record is the No. 2 F, but that was before the weighting change, and he probably won't be able to win it now.

Wang Zhong: "That's it, radio contact. Your call sign is Valdaichu River, and my call sign is..."

Wang Zhong touched the lunch box on his waist. He had the illusion that his homeland in the lunch box was heating up.

"My call sign is Tiber River," he looked at Pavlov, "As long as you call Tiber River, I will respond, I will definitely respond!"

Pavlov scolded: "Suka, I am also a Khazarian, and I also want the Tiber River as my call sign."

Wang Zhong: "Then you...your name is..."

"Okay, I'm just complaining." Pavlov waved his hand as if chasing someone away, "Go, go, drive your little tank."

Wang Zhong smiled and left the division headquarters.

It happened that the rocket artillery vehicle of the rocket artillery brigade was driving from the station to the artillery position.

Belyakov, the driver of No. 422, asked: "What kind of weapons are these trucks? They look like the Divine Arrows of the Divine Arrow Company, except that the launchers are gathered together."

Gunner Alexander Yefimovich said: "When they parked there just now, I went over and looked. There was a K on the car, but there was no model number."

Wang Zhong: "That's called Katyusha, and it will make the enemy feel the warmth of spring."

Belyakov whistled: "Is it the kind of warmth I thought?"

"It's the kind of warmth you want."

At this time, a staff officer ran over and reported to Wang Zhong: "General, helmets have been issued to the assault battalion, and they are all marked with the Z character."

Wang Zhong: "Very good, that way everyone can see how they fight. As long as they prove themselves, they can join other troops as supplementary soldiers." After saying that, he climbed onto the tank and patted the gunner: "Get out of the way. Come on, take my seat.”

Alexander smiled: "It's the same as before."

Wang Zhong: "Yes."

Sitting in the small tank, Wang Zhong put on his headphones and microphone, then pressed the microphone on his throat and shouted: "Test the radio now. Everyone reports the vehicle number. People who are not in the tank unit should shut up first."

Just as the car number was announced on the radio, the enemy suddenly began to bombard the front position of the Guards 1st Infantry, seemingly preparing to attack again.

However, the enemy obviously lacked ammunition and only bombarded the frontal positions.

Wang Zhong turned around and waved, and Pavlov came over: "What's wrong?"

Wang Zhong: "Start preparing for artillery fire and smash all the enemy's bottles and cans!"

Pavlov gave a thumbs up and turned back to the bunker.

Wang Zhong saw his thumbs up action and suddenly thought of a joke, saying that if the atomic bomb falls, give a thumbs up to the mushroom cloud. If the mushroom cloud is smaller than your thumb, then hide quickly.

If an atomic bomb is bigger than a mushroom cloud, then just accept your fate and there is no point in running.

Wang Zhong gave a thumbs up and gestured towards the blue sky.

Probably... only the residents of a certain island can use this bean knowledge.

At this time, the artillery on our side began to prepare firepower.

This sound was much more powerful than the enemy's bombardment.

Wang Zhong thought to himself.

He had two hours to get into attack formation, and Pavlov would take care of that.

----

General Moltke was looking at the map in the map room of the marching tent at the Second Armored Group Headquarters of the Prossen Army. A communications staff officer rushed into the tent: "Report! The 22nd and 35th armored positions were fiercely bombarded by the enemy. ”

Mao Qi waved his hand: "Did they just make fire preparations?"

"Yes."

General Moltke sneered: "This is counter-fire preparation. Rokossov likes to do this kind of thing. When we defend in the future - I mean, if we defend, we can also consider this."

Communications Staff Officer: "However, Unit 22 not only sent a telegram, but also made a radio call. The artillery fire was very fierce, and they suspected that the enemy was about to attack."

General Mao Qi raised his eyebrows: "Attack?"

He thought for a while and said, "I'm going to listen to some violent methods."

He turned around, strode out of the tent, and headed straight for the radio car parked nearby.

After entering the radio car, he shouted loudly: "Call the 22nd Equipment Division!"

"No response, General." The signal soldier responded.

"Keep calling! By the way, call 35 detonators, no, call all units reporting being shelled."

Immediately there was a call in the communication car.

General Moltke wanted to walk, but found that there was not enough space in the communication vehicle to walk, so he could only get out of the communication vehicle, open the door of the communication vehicle, and pace back and forth on the ground.

However, time passed by, and no unit that was bombarded responded.

The 22nd Armored Division, the 35th Panzergrenadier Division and the logistics depots all seemed to have disappeared.

At this time, the adjutant came to General Moltke with a coat. While putting the coat on him, he said: "None of these troops have built anti-gun bunkers. After all, they have no time for soil work and have been attacking..."

General Moltke: "But they have an anti-aircraft artillery battalion with 88-guns. According to the experience gained after the Carolingian Campaign, when a unit stays in one place for more than a day, it should build bunkers for the 88-guns and be ready to fire. .

"If the Ant people really attack, then we have to count on the troops to actually abide by this order."

General Moltke raised his head: "Rokossov attacked? No way?"

----

Wang Zhong is now less than three kilometers away from the enemy's position.

His troops were fully deployed, with 36 T34Ws deployed in a horizontal formation. Originally, he wanted to imitate the Proscenians and make a wild goose formation, but he charged personally just so that he could see the situation immediately. If he commanded the car behind like the Prossens did, it would be in vain.

So he set up an arrow array, and he was the first one.

Each tank carries a squad of infantry - this is the unique fighting method of the Ant people.

Of course, Wang Zhong's idea is to let the infantry go down and spread out the skirmisher line when they reach the position.

The real skirmisher line was behind Wang Zhong's tank and had been dropped for seven to eight hundred meters.

Wang Zhong always pays attention to the front.

His lighting range is a little more than two kilometers. If the enemy has any monsters, he should be able to detect them before the enemy can effectively kill him.

Suddenly, he saw an 88mm anti-aircraft gun.

The gunners were moving into position, but the shells had not yet been brought up.

Wang Zhong immediately pressed the microphone on his throat: "Ivanov, where is your fucking rocket launcher? Give it to me!"
