Chapter 55 Rokossov and his heroic troops were rewarded (additional update from the leader)
Wang Zhong stood up, but his feet were still numb from walking for too long, and he almost stumbled to his knees.

The judge with one more star quickly stopped him with his quick eyes and hands: "Be careful, if you fall in front of us, something will happen, and we will gain another reputation."

You also know that you have a bad reputation.

Wang Zhong just thought this way, and Yegorov said directly: "You also know that you guys have a bad reputation?"

Wang Zhong glanced at Yegorov with wide eyes, thinking, are you so fierce?

Pavlov's expression seemed to be complaining: "What is this mud-legged guy talking about!"

The judge smiled: "Our mission is to make people fearful. If everyone is no longer afraid when they see us, the lurking enemies will not be afraid either, and they will become bolder, right? So we still make people more frightened. good."

Wang Zhong and his officer team—actually just Yegorov and Pavlov—looked at each other.

He decided to skip the matter and not discuss it, so he stood up straight and said to the judge: "Lead the way. Will you take your car?"

"Alyosha!" Before the judge opened his mouth, a call came from behind.

When Mr. Wang turned around, he saw Lyudmila trotting over, holding a plate with bread, grilled sausages, and pickles in her right hand, and a cup in her left hand.

"Eat a little," Lyudmila said. "The last time you ate was at dawn. You must be hungry after walking so much."

Wang Zhong nodded, he was indeed hungry.

He first picked up the bread and took a bite, then silently put the bread back. It is said that there is a kind of big ribba that is very fragrant when roasted, but this piece of wood is obviously not.

With an uneasy mood, Wang Zhong picked up the sausage, took a bite, and stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word.

Remember from now on, grilled sausages are trustworthy - probably all meat is trustworthy.

Finally, Wang Zhong ordered some pickles.

This thing tastes like - like pickles.

After eating, Wang Zhong wiped his mouth, took a sip from the cup handed by Lyudmila, and found that it was not water, but milk.

Wang Zhong: “Where did you get the milk?”

"There's a bucket over there." Lyudmila pointed to the big bucket with a faucet in the kitchen not far away.

Wang Zhong: "Oh, milk."

"Well, what else could it be?" Lyudmila asked in confusion.

Wang Zhong tried hard not to let his eyes wander, and replied: "I thought it was mare's milk."

Lyudmila was even more confused: "Do you want to drink mare's milk? Isn't it difficult to do it now?"

Wang Zhong drank the liquid in the cup in one breath and returned it to the girl: "The milk is good. I'm leaving."

"By the way," Lyudmila added, "Brother Yetsemenko went to the army church. Maybe we will be deployed elsewhere. Alyosha, I..."

When Wang Zhong heard that his team of magic arrows was going to be taken away, he was furious. He hadn't even gotten the tank yet, but he was trying to steal my magic arrows. He raised his voice and said, "None of you can leave without my permission! I'm going to see the group army now." Bishop, I’ll go tell him!”

Lyudmila breathed a sigh of relief, then her expression softened.

She looks happy.

Wang Zhong got into the Tribunal's car angrily, sat in the back seat and muttered: "Try to steal my magic arrow, are you kidding me?"

There are no tanks, and my "Cornet" anti-tank missile team (which refers to the Shenjian team, Wang Zhong regards them as the anti-tank missile team) has been transferred away. This battle cannot be fought. I want to talk to the brigade commander - —No, it’s the army commander who is complaining!
The two inquisitors also got into the car.

Yegorov was about to get in the car, but the judge said: "You don't need to go. Write a report on the battle. The staff will come to get it."

Yegorov was speechless and looked back at Sergeant Major Grigory.

The sergeant major understood immediately, got into the back seat of the jeep with the captured MP40, and sat next to Wang Zhong.

"I'm a guard," the sergeant major said. "Is it normal to have a guard?"

The Inquisitor nodded and started the car.

The car left the school just like that.

----

After the inquisitor left, the soldiers of the Third Amur Regiment all breathed a sigh of relief, and the scene quickly became lively again.

The young girls in the field cooking team began to talk about the count who had just left.

These are all girls recruited locally in Bogdanovka. Some were even born after the end of the civil war, and more were still children who could not remember anything during the civil war.

Although Bogdanovka was attacked by Plosin air raids, the Plosin attack targets were very concentrated, mainly at the railway station and the locomotive repair factory next to the station. Most people in Bogdanovka did not I have never actually seen anyone injured or killed by a Prossen plane.

Therefore, these girls have no concept of the cruelty of war. Their imagination of war mainly comes from film music and poetry.

They were discussing animatedly what the count had just said:
"Natasha, did you hear that? Just now the count said, 'Then I can show you two the way back from hell.' It's so cool!"

"Yes, the look on his face when he said this made my heart beat out!"

"By the way, who is the girl who just brought food to the Count? She looks a little older than us."

While the girls were chattering lively while working, the aunt in charge of the soup pot hit the edge of the pot with a big spoon: "Stop arguing, girls, work hard! Natasha, look at what you peeled." Potatoes, I can see the peeled ones even here!”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted from the soldier's side: "I'll eat that potato!"

This sparked a roar of laughter.

But the aunt didn’t look at the soldiers at all, but continued to scold the girls: “During the civil war, I also joined the field cooking team, just like you.

"Let me tell you, no matter whether you are a noble or a commoner, whether you are handsome or naughty, you may disappear suddenly!
"The lucky ones are gone, the unfortunate ones are in the hospital, missing arms and legs, and will suffer for the rest of their lives!

"Don't fall in love with soldier girls, don't! After the war is over, find a lucky man with good legs and feet to marry. This is the right thing! It's the only right thing!"

The aunt's words silenced the soldiers.

After the silence lasted for a second, Pavlov said: "Auntie, this time is different from the civil war! What we have seen with our own eyes is that the Prosen devils are demons, and they slaughter ordinary people wantonly!

“We saw with our own eyes how they killed three generations of a civilian family in a cesspit!

"If we don't fight and destroy them, everyone will be killed, and they will take our land and use our corpses to fertilize the fields!"

While stirring the potato and carrot soup in the big pot, the aunt replied: "Yes, I know. That's why I'm cooking for you."

As she spoke, the aunt suddenly couldn't hold herself any longer and began to sob softly. She didn't know what sad memories she remembered.

The girls gathered around and comforted the aunt, but the aunt yelled: "Peel your potatoes! The soldiers are still waiting to eat! They are still waiting... to eat..."

----

At this moment, in the headquarters.

The chief of staff of the 41st Army put a map on the table.

"This is a map hand-drawn by the staff officer. If it were the unlearned Rokossov, he would never be able to clearly tell how they got to Upper Penier." The chief of staff said proudly, " He will reveal his secret immediately and all lies will be revealed!"

The army commander came to the map, looked at it and said, "Is this map accurate?"

"It is accurate and drawn strictly to scale. The biggest difference from the real map is that some landmarks are drawn on this map based on aerial photos. They were all specially found according to the route mentioned by Captain Sergey. If it is really Luo Kossov ordered them to retreat to Upper Penier, he will definitely remember it!"

The bishop nodded and turned to look at the commander of Episode 41, Duke Wostrom.

Duke: "Very well, let us use this to test Count Rokosov's strength! If his previous uneducated appearance was really just an act to please the Crown Prince, then we will give him He applied for a medal.

"If he is really uneducated, we will find a way to find the person who really commanded this battle and put him to good use!"

----

The trial court's car stopped in front of a small building with an unimpressive appearance.

Wang Zhong looked at the building in confusion: "Is the headquarters here? This looks like an ordinary house."

Not even as good as the mechanical mill in the village of Haupenier.

The judge who was driving pointed at the city government building not far away: "Look next to you. We hung a military flag and the national flag on the roof of the building. It is bombed every day. Unfortunately, the building itself is a concrete building. It is relatively small." Solid.”

Wang Zhong: "So that's it. This is to avoid air raids."

Inquisitor: "There was a traitor who wanted to use smoke bombs to guide the Prosen Air Force near the headquarters, but we caught him and shot him. Now military vehicles are not allowed to park around the headquarters, and they are not allowed to hang in colors that are easy to identify from the air. Get out of the car. I have to drive the car away later. Get down quickly, Your Majesty the Earl."

Wang Zhong then opened the door and got out of the car. After everyone else got out of the car, the jeep drove away immediately. Standing at the entrance of the headquarters was a young officer with a golden tassel on his military uniform. Wang Zhong looked at the rope and felt that it looked like Sandoku's "adjutant's rope". The golden adjutant's rope indicated that he was the general's adjutant.

The adjutant made a gesture of invitation.

Wang Zhong was not in a hurry. He first observed the plain and simple headquarters, then straightened his clothes, and then strode toward the entrance.

As soon as I entered the headquarters, I heard the "didi" sound often heard in movies. Looking through the sound, I could see that the room on the left side of the corridor was full of telegraph machines and a group of people were busy.

The judge took Wang Zhong into the room opposite the telegraph room.

There was a map table inside, and a large number of senior officers in gorgeous military uniforms stood beside the table. The medals on their bodies almost dazzled Wang Zhong's eyes.

Wang Zhong took a look at the bird's-eye view to get a rough idea of ​​who the group of people in front of him were, and then saluted Duke Vostrom, the highest-ranking military officer here: "Your Excellency, Alexey Konstantinovich Rom Kossov was ordered to come.”

The Duke raised his hand and returned the greeting: "Konstantinovich, you are finally here. Come and tell us how you escaped from the encirclement of Ronezh."

As he spoke, the Duke pointed to the map in front of him.

Wang Zhong immediately stepped forward and started explaining the map.

He was already very familiar with maps. After all, he had been playing various war games for many years before time travel. Some war games were simply map-based exercises, emphasizing a simulator.

On the way out of Ronezh, he kept looking at the bird's-eye view, and everything seemed familiar to him.

About fifteen minutes later, Wang Zhong stopped.

The golden rope adjutant next to him immediately handed over the water.

The Duke and other senior officers looked at each other.

Finally, the bishop of the 41st Army Group asked: "Alexey Konstantinovich, weren't you the last to graduate from the military academy? The fact we learned is that you can't even read a map."

What the hell is Wang Zhong thinking? Is the original owner such a waste?
What should I do? If I say that God guides me, will the clergy find out and label me a heretic?

He said: "I am indeed the last one, but I can still read the map. The so-called inability to read the map must be a rumor made by my classmates, yes, a rumor!"

The Army Bishop looked at Duke Wostrom.

The Duke said: "How can you be sure that the front is a defensive gap for the enemy?"

Wang Zhong: "I'm not sure. At first, I just ordered smoke to block the enemy's superior firepower. As a result, the third rear Amur regiment charged directly to the enemy's frontline division headquarters.

"My judgment at that time was that the enemy must have deployed heavy troops in the east to intercept the breakout troops, so it would be better to have a counter-thinking."

Several senior officers looked at each other again.

The Duke asked again: "Why did you decide to defend Penier? That was not an order given to you."

Wang Zhong: "We were riding in the captured Prosen truck. When we saw Lubokov's troops, we were shot. If we continue to ride in the Prosen truck, we will definitely be shot more.

"We can only get out of the car and walk. And there are only a few T28s responsible for guarding Upper Penier. They are thin and heavy. The enemy will seize the village in one fell swoop and then move on.

"We will be overtaken, the enemy is a mechanized force!"

Everyone next to the map table exchanged glances, and finally the Duke said: "Then please introduce the defense in Upper Penier."

As soon as he finished speaking, the staff gave him a new map. It turned out to be a detailed map of Upper Penier Village, with the location of each house mapped out.

Wang Zhong looked at the map and immediately said: "This map is wrong here. This house should be directly south of the Mechanical Mill."

He was very familiar with Upper Penier. After all, he had overlooked it for two days and many of his soldiers died heroically here. Maybe when Wang Zhong is old, he will still remember this small village and remember every brick, tile, plant and tree there.

The chief of staff of the group army said: "You can just make do with it. This is what the staff drew based on aerial photos. It is not accurate, but it is sufficient."

Wang Zhong nodded and began to recall the battle that lasted 38 hours.

30 minute later.

The Army Bishop spoke first: "Very good, Alexei Konstantinovich, very good!
"After you have rested, go and tell the priests in the propaganda hall again! Let them publicize that we can defeat the Prosen Army with our bravery and wisdom!"

The chief of staff of the group army said: "Relying on close combat in the city, we destroyed so many enemy tanks! This is more than many tank armies destroyed!"

Wang Zhong raised his eyebrows: "So I passed?"

He could see that these senior officers did not believe that he could command and win the battle, and they deliberately tested him.

The Duke walked around the map table and patted Wang Zhong on the shoulder: "Alexey Konstantinovich, I admit that we didn't really believe that you fought a wonderful battle just now, but now we completely believe it. Maybe you’re just not good at handling military academy exams!”

Wang Zhong responded solemnly: "Your Majesty Duke, it wasn't me who fought a wonderful battle, it was my soldiers who fought a wonderful battle. I just..."

I just hung up.

But Wang Zhong couldn't say this, so he got stuck.

The Duke, however, had an expression of "I understand, I understand everything." He turned back to the bishop and said, "Nikita, apply for the title of Guards for the Third Amur Regiment. And that tank regiment, it's the 31st Tank Regiment, right?" ? Also apply for a guard!"

The bishop looked embarrassed: "The Amur Regiment is easy to say, but the 31st Regiment is completely destroyed. There is no precedent for granting the title of Guards to troops whose numbers have been eliminated."

When Wang Zhong heard this, he was very sad. He remembered that he still had the letter from the gunner of the No. 422 car in his pocket, and he remembered Lubokov's smiling face.

At this moment, a staff officer came in: "Report, the aviation reconnaissance has results. The enemy has not yet occupied Upper Penier, and the pilot saw a heavy tank numbered 67 fighting."

Wang Zhong was shocked: "Are they still fighting?"

"Yes, we are still fighting." The staff officer nodded.

Wang Zhong stepped forward and took the Duke's hand: "Hurry up and send armored troops to meet them!"

The Duke looked embarrassed: "Alexey Konstantinovich, the Fourth Tank Army is the last armored force in our hands."

Wang Zhong's shoulders slumped. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "How is the situation on the defense line now? I mean, the defense line here."

The commander of the 63rd Army said: "We have built a basic trench system, but... there is not enough time, coupled with the lack of cement, anti-tank piles and strong defensive support points have not been built, the situation is very bad. If there is another Just one day.”

After getting the answer, Wang Zhong was further convinced that Car No. 67 probably knew this.

The mechanical failure was just an opportunity. Because of the mechanical failure, these brave people decided to stay and delay the enemy for one more day to buy time for the defense line.

Wang Zhong squeezed the Duke's hand again: "Please apply to the No. 67 crew... for the highest honor!"

He originally wanted to say Hero of the Soviet Union, but halfway he remembered that there was no Soviet Union here, and he didn't know what the Ant Empire's highest honor was.

The Army Bishop nodded: "We will apply for them to receive the Gold Star Medal, the highest honor."

The chief of staff of the group army interfaced: "As for you, Alexei Konstantinovich, we are going to arrange for you and your troops to rest in Loktov, where the broken troops on the front are being reorganized. How about you take charge of this work?" ?”

Wang Zhong: "No! I can still fight. Give me troops and I can kill more Prosen Japs!"

The Duke shook his head: "No, I have a hunch that this war will become long and stinky. You don't have to be so anxious to eliminate the Prossens. Your face looks very bad, you look very tired, and there is no color at all." No. You and your troops need to rest.

"We will hold off the enemy in Bogdanovka for at least three weeks. After you have rested, I guarantee that you will be sent to the most dangerous place."

Wang Zhong thought for a while and felt that the Duke was so confident and it seemed that he had enough troops, so it would be a good idea to take a rest.

Only by replenishing the personnel and equipment can we better deal with the Prosen Japs.

So he changed his words: "Then I want to replenish personnel and equipment, I want tanks, artillery..."

At this time, he looked at the Army Group Bishop, remembered something, and said, "Also, don't transfer my Divine Arrow team!"

Bishop: "The Holy Arrow team currently under your command, Praying Hands is your childhood sweetheart, right, Alexei Konstantinovich?

"I will not transfer this divine arrow team. Although there is a shortage of divine arrows on the front line, but... I think Brother Ye Tsemenko's team also needs a rest."

Wang Zhong was relieved.

"What about tanks," he continued, "I want Special 34 tanks, the more the better!"

The Duke interrupted Wang Zhong: "You will definitely be supplemented by personnel. As for equipment, we are all short of equipment now.

"Loktov is our supply center. When you get there, ask the logistics department for it.

"You guys have a day of rest in the city today, and we will set off early tomorrow morning and take the empty carriage back."

The Duke turned to the chief of staff: "Ask the logistics department to distribute good wine and good cigarettes to the third rear Amur regiment! And of course beef, give them as much as they can eat!"
