Chapter 460 Rokossov stands on the land of Balas

At 8:28 on the afternoon of August 1630, the transport ship carrying the expeditionary force headquarters entered the port of Moha.

Wang Zhong was on the deck, looking at the messy port, and asked Pavlov in confusion: "Don't naval destroyers only have machine guns? Why do these marks look like they were hit by a 100mm gun?"

Pavlov was also confused: "I don't know, maybe it was caused by the attack after the vortex landed? But if the enemy is still resisting, the transport ship should not dock, right?"

So the expeditionary force's No. 1 and No. 2 military leaders looked at each other.

Yakov said: "It seems that the Vortex Force has left the port. Are they going to attack the city of Moha?"

Wang Zhong: "It should be like this according to the plan."

He looked towards the city and listened to the sound of gunfire in the air.

Then he changed the perspective. Since he had no direct contact with the 393rd Marine Infantry Brigade and other units, he could only see the terrain and the "troop signs" of the participating troops from the bird's-eye view. The northern part of the Moha city area had been occupied by a huge Marine Infantry emblem. The Ant Army Infantry emblem was slightly smaller, but it also occupied a large area.

The area covered by these two large logos, as well as the small logo of a tank destroyer unit, made it look like the Vortex was driven into the city to support the infantry in capturing the urban area.

The enemy forces in the southern city area are the 5th Infantry Division of the Barras Royal Guard.

Wang Zhong was somewhat confused. He couldn't understand why his elite tank destroyer unit and the elite 393rd Marine Infantry Brigade were so closely tied with the Baras army which was described as being very weak in the report?

Isn't this right?

He switched back to his physical perspective and asked Pavlov, "Did the United Kingdom provide any new intelligence? How come the enemy's Fifth Division of the Royal Guards is fighting so hard with our landing troops?"

Pavlov did not realize that there was anything wrong with the situation, and replied: "It is not bad. After all, it is a brigade and an infantry division that has just completed training and is full of new recruits. It is normal to suffer a little loss when facing the enemy's mechanized infantry division.

"After all, I have been training for such a long time."

Wang Zhong: "No. Call the 393rd Brigade on the walkie-talkie immediately to find out what's going on!"

Pavlov immediately turned around and called the communications officer.

Soon the communications officer handed the walkie-talkie to Wang Zhong: "Brigadier General Alomeev of the 393rd Brigade is online."

Wang Zhong took the walkie-talkie and changed the view. The icons of the 393 Brigade really turned into specific people, and they could be seen fighting with the enemy in each room.

"Aromeyev, what's wrong with you? According to the intelligence from the United Nations, the Royal Guards, whose training and morale are average, are also having such a hard time fighting?" Wang Zhong asked as soon as he came up.

"They are not the Imperial Guards, not even the Balas, they are Proshens in Imperial Guard uniforms!" Alomeev's voice came from the receiver. "Repeat, Proshens!"

Wang Zhong quickly looked at the enemy, wanting to confirm this with his highlighting ability, and then discovered that the enemy highlighted by his subordinates was not highlighted and could not be confirmed.

So he asked: "Aromeyev, where is your headquarters?"

As he spoke he had already found Alomeev: the Brigadier General was on the water tower, and around him were the capable command team of the 393rd Brigade.

Water tower, I miss it so much.

Wang Zhong suddenly thought of the water tower in Upper Pennier Village. When the war was over, the enemy might build a statue of themselves on the water tower.

Aromeev replied: "I'm on the water tower southwest of the port. Do you want to come over?"

Wang Zhong: "Of course, I'll be there right away, over."

He handed the walkie-talkie to the communications staff and said to Pavlov: "It's the Prosens! Damn, they are wearing the uniforms of the Baras, so now the Marine Infantry is fighting them back and forth!"

Pavlov narrowed his eyes. "No wonder you are so excited. It turns out there are Prosen people to kill."

No, what am I like in your mind?
At this time, Popov came out of the cabin with a pale face: "Damn, are we docked?"

Wang Zhong pointed to the sailor who was throwing a rope over the side of the ship and said, "The sailor is taking the last step to dock."

"It's finally over." Popov breathed a sigh of relief. "The voyage over the past two days has been more uncomfortable than the past year."

Wang Zhongze said to Yakov: "You get off the boat first and find a jeep."

Popov: "Why? Are you going to fight in person again? They are just natives of Baras, so there is no need for this, right?"

"It's the Prosoms. The Prosoms are wearing Barras uniforms and fighting us."

Popov suddenly became alert: "What? This is against international law! These Prosen people are not entitled to the treatment of the Geneva Convention when they are captured by us!"

Wang Zhong: "They obviously don't care about this. Anyway, I will personally command the 393rd Brigade. Pavlov, you will coordinate the overall situation and unload the expeditionary force onto the shore as soon as possible. Popov, you... you should take a rest first!"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a commotion at the warehouse exit. Wang Zhong turned his head and saw that Bucephalus had already run onto the deck. After seeing Wang Zhong, he ran towards him with his teeth bared.

The soldier tending the horses also rushed onto the deck, chasing the horses and shouting, "This guy rushed out as soon as I opened the door! Hurry and grab him!"

Bucephalus rushed to Wang Zhong and tried to take his big hat with his mouth.

Wang Zhong: "Enough! Behave yourself!" Busifalas didn't listen at all. He bit Wang Zhong's hat, shook his head, and threw the blocked hat out like a frisbee.

Then this guy started to bite Wang Zhong's hair.

Pavlov: "I suppose you have spoiled the horse?"

Wang Zhong: "Now we'll switch to a gasoline-powered military horse (referring to the Willys Jeep)!"

At this time, Emilia, who had been watching from the side, asked: "Is there anything special about this horse? Why is it so unruly? Could it be that... it was transformed by a druid?"

Wang Zhong shook his head: "No, no, no, the druids in our country can only summon fog, and it depends on whether the weather allows it. They can't turn into druids. Besides, if this is a druid, I will never let her turn into a horse. It would be much better for her to turn into a wolf rider."

As he spoke he pushed Bucephalus away.

Just then Yakov came back: "The jeep is ready!"

Wang Zhong: "Okay, I'll be right there."

----

The water tower where Alomeev was located was easy to find, and with the help of Wang Zhong, the lucky guy, leading the way, the jeep soon stopped next to the stairs of the water tower.

The naval infantrymen under the water tower saluted Wang Zhong in unison.

Wang Zhong raised his hand, then jumped up the stairs as if he was familiar with the route, and reached the top of the water tower in a few steps.

Now the entire naval infantry brigade was regarded as a unit directly led by Wang Zhong, and his vision was widened.

Unfortunately, the naval infantry fought very bravely and drove the enemy away from Wang Zhong’s 2.5-kilometer illuminated range.

Alomeev saluted Wang Zhong and said, "General! We have tried our best, but the enemy's resistance is very determined and our troops have suffered heavy casualties!"

Wang Zhong: "How many people have been lost now?"

"We didn't take an inventory, but some platoons lost more than half of their troops. But we also eliminated a lot of enemies. The documents and family letters they carried were all Proson's! This is the Proson's Army!"

Wang Zhong raised the telescope.

At this moment he suddenly discovered that two naval infantrymen were escorting five or six prisoners towards the water tower.

Although they had not yet come close, they had already entered the range illuminated by Wang Zhong, so these enemies were covered with red borders, and their names and units appeared above their heads.

The "Vulture Legion" of the Proson Empire is fighting with the 393rd Brigade and the infantry units that landed first.

Wang Zhong was shocked. The Vulture Corps on Earth was an intervention force sent by San Dezi during the Banya Civil War. This time and space actually became the code name for the Barras Intervention Force!

Damn it, Wang Zhong thought, the United Kingdom's MI6 is not as powerful as imagined. If you think about it carefully, the founder and head of MI6 is a guy who has spent his entire life making a living. It doesn't seem surprising that they get into trouble?
At this time, Wang Zhong saw a Vortex turn the corner under the cover of naval infantry and open fire on the building where the Prosen people were resisting.

Most of the buildings in the city did not have reinforced concrete exterior walls, and when they were hit by 100mm artillery, the entire building was covered in smoke.

Wang Zhong was looking down, so his vision was not completely blocked. He could clearly see that half of the building had collapsed, and the Proson people were running out of the back door dragging machine guns and running at full speed.

It seems that the machine gunner stopped shooting and began to move his position when the vortex appeared, otherwise he would never have been unscathed.

The vortex that had knocked down a house opened fire again, this time targeting the shop on the south side of the street. One shot also destroyed half of the two-story building. A surviving Proson man limped out from the back door and staggered towards the friendly forces.

The vortex continued to fire, as if it would not stop until the house was completely demolished.

Wang Zhong: "It's a pity that our vortex is not equipped with white phosphorus bombs or napalm incendiary bombs."

He switched back to see Alomeev looking confused. "What? Vortex? We are indeed working closely with the Vortex destroyer, but where did you see the Vortex?"

There really wasn't a single vortex vehicle around the water tower; all were pulled into the city to fire high-explosive bombs.

Wang Zhong: "I was just muttering that there are no new warheads for the Vortex. If there are white phosphorus bombs, run towards the windows of the buildings, and the skin and outer clothes of the people inside will be ignited. They will rush out of the room in agony and beg us to give them a peaceful death."

"Hey, the Allies have something like this?" said Alomeev.

At this time, an army officer entered the yard where the water tower was located and shouted: "Report! I am here to inform you, General, that the 51st Battalion of the st Brigade of the st Tank Army has just completed unloading the ship."

Wang Zhong: "Tell Pavlov to organize the disbanded units and form a temporary battle group to advance towards the city. The naval infantry needs our support."

"Yes!"

After the officer left, Alomeev said: "We can defeat the enemy and we don't need any additional support!"

Wang Zhong patted his shoulder and said, "I know, but we can't afford to waste time. I don't know how many Proson troops are still in Baras. We must quickly capture Moha and advance deeper into the territory."
