Chapter 25 It’s time to show off your real micromanaging skills
Of course Wang Zhong has never been on the battlefield. His real motherland has not been at war for more than thirty years.

But he has played War Thunder, known as the "Russian Original God", and has rich experience in annihilating enemies in this game. He knows what terrain to find to block the tank's fragile flanks.

There are three main roads in Haupenier Village, two of which enter the village from the west, and the road leaving the village from the east forms a Y-shape.

If the south is regarded as "below", this is a lying Y, with the open mouth facing the west.

But in fact, these three roads do not intersect directly, but form a triangular area in the middle of the village.

On the north side of the area is the luxurious manor of the local Mr. Boyer. The main body of the manor is a three-story red brick building.

The most important building in the triangle area is the local church. The height of the church itself is as high as that of Mr. Boyer's three-story manor, and there is also a taller bell tower.

Next to the church is the village mill, a mechanical mill with a steam boiler.

Further south are two two-story buildings, which are the houses of the wealthy people in the town. It is said that one of them is the emperor's forest officer.

The winery Wang Zhong chose as his headquarters is located on the east side of these things, next to the one leg lying on the Y shape. As soon as you come out of the winery door, you can walk a few steps to the triangle area.

Of course, Wang Zhong couldn't even walk these few steps, so he could only direct the stretcher to carry him over.

"Stop!" he shouted at the door of the mill, squinting and looking to the west.

When observing from a bird's-eye view, he thought he should be able to see one of the west entrances of the village from this position. Unexpectedly, upon actual observation, he discovered that a section of stone wall and a wooden house in the distance blocked the view.

Wang Zhong immediately realized that this was an excellent terrain that forced enemy tanks and his own tanks to go 1V1. The road to the west was not wide, and it was impossible for two tanks to go side by side. The enemy must be coming one after another.

Moreover, there is an escape route in this place. Once you find that too many enemies are coming in, you can reverse and hide behind the mill.

The mechanical mill is two stories high, and even a bulky and large car body like the T28 can be hidden.

Wang Zhong immediately shouted: "Here comes someone! Call Captain Lubokov over here!"

Soon, tanks with tactical number 422 were deployed on this street corner.

Wang Zhong, with his groggy head on his head, explained to the commander: "When more than two enemy tanks appear in your field of vision, just move back and let the mill block you!"

The commander of No. 422 was a corporal and looked very nervous. He just nodded repeatedly after listening to Wang Zhong's words.

Wang Zhong: "You guys, please measure the distance now and make sure you hit the target with your first shot when you see the enemy!"

Commander: "Understood, retreat when you see the enemy!"

Wang Zhong was stunned, thinking that he was confused and heard wrongly.

Lubokov, who was riding a white horse, scolded: "Listen to the count's orders! The count wants you to measure the distance now!"

Corporal: "Range measurement? What to measure?"

Wang Zhong: "How long have you been a tank driver?"

Corporal: "One day, I came over as a substitute from another crew!"

Wang Zhong: "Let's replace this position with an experienced crew."

Lubokov sighed: "Let me stay here, measure the distance, and retreat into the shadow of the mill once we face more than two enemy tanks, right?"

Wang Zhong: "Yes."

Next, he directed the stretcher and assigned tasks to the other two tanks, asking them to use the terrain to fire telescopic cannons to give the advancing Prosen tank a surprise.

As for the No. 422 tank whose commander was overly nervous, Wang Zhong thought about it and arranged them in the yard of the winery as the final reserve team.

After hearing that his mission was to be in the reserve team, the corporal, who had only been a vehicle commander for a day, breathed a long sigh of relief.

After arranging the tasks of the tank unit, Wang Zhong was about to order the soldiers carrying his stretcher back to the winery when he saw a car stopping in front of the church. A middle-aged man got out of the car and looked up at the bell tower of the church.

"The view from this position must be good." He said, "Bring the Divine Arrow up! Let's give the Pulosen people a little shock from the bell tower!" It seems that this is Brother Yezemenko who is commanding the Divine Arrow team. .

Lyudmila got out of the back of the truck and was slightly surprised to see Wang Zhong: "Alyosha?"

Only then did Brother Yetsemenko notice Wang Zhong, and he stood at attention and saluted: "My lord Count Rokossov, I salute you."

Wang Zhong nodded.

At this time, Yezemenko's men unloaded the sacred arrows from the truck.

This was Wang Zhong's first time to see this kind of weapon up close. Even though his brain was not very good at thinking at this time, he still noticed that the divine arrow was different from what he had imagined.

So he asked: "Where is the guidance device? This looks like an ordinary rocket!"

In his impression, such anti-tank missiles have quite large guidance devices. When he was reading small arms magazines when he was a child, the anti-tank missiles published in them all came with large sighting equipment.

And this divine arrow launching device is just a single slide rail, which is unimaginably simple.

Brother Ye Tsemenko looked puzzled: "Didn't you see the holy emblem on the arrowhead?"

Wang Zhong's brain was so burned that he didn't react immediately: "Holy emblem?"

The first-class soldier responsible for carrying the divine arrows also specifically turned the arrows in his arms so that Wang Zhong could clearly see the holy emblem on his head.

Brother Yezemenko glanced at Lyudmila: "Captain Melehovna is very good as a prayer hand. She has successfully hit an enemy tank. According to the regulations, I should apply for a battle result mark for her. But you also know our situation..."

Only then did Wang Zhong's brain realize: The holy emblem, praying hands, and divine arrows are really guided by "divine power"?

He thought it was like the Mechanicus in Warhammer 40K, which couldn't understand high technology and therefore became a religion.

Wang Zhong waved his hand: "I understand. Are you ready to go up to the bell tower?"

Ye Tsemenko nodded: "Yes, the view from the bell tower must be very good."

Wang Zhong: "But the enemy can see you very clearly. There will be obvious smoke after the divine arrow is fired, right?"

He had seen the flight path of the divine arrow from an overhead perspective, and it couldn't be more obvious.

Ye Tsemenko: "The tail smoke is indeed very obvious, but what is more obvious is the light of the warhead when it is guiding. What's wrong?"

Wang Zhong waved his hand: "Then it's a bad idea for you to go up to the bell tower. If you launch the first one, you will be discovered immediately. The enemy tanks will focus on taking care of the bell tower."

Clear vision is generally two-way.

Wang Zhong pointed at the church: "My suggestion is to prepare multiple firing positions, and place a divine arrow in each position. After the fight begins, quickly move with this lightweight frame, and change places after shooting!"

Yezemenko: "According to the operating instructions, we should snipe enemy tanks as much as possible in a place with a wide field of vision, and take advantage of the range of the divine arrows as much as possible. The divine arrows can hit two kilometers! The enemy's tank guns cannot hit that far. .”

Wang Zhong: "The enemy will use smoke to block your vision. That's what they did in Ronezh City!"

Although Wang Zhong now has a high fever, he still thinks of what happened in Ronezh City. At that time, Yetsemenko's team destroyed an enemy tank, and then the enemy infantry set up smoke to block their view.

Apparently the Prosens are familiar with how to fight the Divine Arrow.

Yezemenko still wanted to object: "But..."

"There's nothing wrong with that. I'm the current commander. I don't allow you to go up to the bell tower!"

At this time, Yegorov stepped in to smooth things over: "In this way, we have found a few good machine gun positions, which are also very suitable for setting up magic arrows. Why not just set up magic arrows in these places? The infantry can still cover you!"

Yezemenko hesitated for a moment and said: "Well, I hope the count did not make such a decision because he was burned out. I also hope he did not give special care to Miss Melehovna!"

As he said this, he glared at Lyudmila.
