Arc of Gunfire

At this time, Wang Zhong was using plug-ins to pay attention to the enemies who had been let go.

When the last enemy left the field of vision, Wang Zhong immediately ordered: "Exit the tank bunker and maneuver towards the No. 2 ambush position."

Tank No. 422 immediately reversed out of the bunker, then turned on the spot and drove south along the road pressed by the tank's tracks.

Wang Zhong shouted to the messenger: "Go and notify the infantry battalion and act according to the original plan!"

The original plan was to clear the battlefield and set up booby traps, and then the whole battalion would retreat to the cover trench at the No. 2 ambush position.

Wang Zhong has seen how much the T34 needs infantry cover, so he will never let the tanks and infantry disconnect.

If the distance is far, the infantry can ride on the tank and follow the maneuver, but the two ambush positions No. 1 and 2 are not far apart, and it only takes 20 minutes for the infantry to walk there at normal speed.

Car No. 422 drove past the bunkers of other cars, and most of the tank crews brought out from Loktov followed. However, some of the newly added tank crews behind were immersed in the great joy brought by the successful battle, and did not see the battalion command vehicle - No. 422 had already withdrawn.

Wang Zhong had already arranged for this. There were infantrymen next to each tank. He went up to lift the cover of the tank and tell them.

Soon 30 T34 tanks withdrew from the position and drove to the second ambush position along the simple road that had been repaired long ago.

After the tanks withdrew, the gunners of the anti-tank gun company also drove their horses and dragged the cannon away from the gun position.

Grigory held the red flag and led Busivaras to mix with the artillery team.

At the same time that the 151st Division withdrew from its position, twenty kilometers away from the ambush site, Major General William Dietrich frowned on the mobile armored command vehicle of the Ampula Division of the Asgard Knights of the Prossen Army.

"Eighteen cars came back?" Major General William came to the deputy commander of the 1st Armored Battalion and raised his hand to slap him, but he stopped. "The battalion commander has died or disappeared, so I won't punish you!"

The division chief of staff said: "This is not the fault of the soldiers. We have clearly sent an air force reconnaissance plane to conduct low-altitude reconnaissance. It was the reconnaissance plane that told us everything was normal! It is the reconnaissance plane's responsibility!"

Major General William glared at the Chief of Staff: "What is the difference between blaming the Air Force for this and blaming the enemy for being too cunning? No, there is no difference! This is caused by our lack of caution. I should send out enough forward reconnaissance teams!

"Even if I have to blame the Air Force, it's because I trust the Air Force too much. We all know they are unreliable!"

Others in the car did not dare to speak, waiting for Major General William to summarize himself.

At this time, a messenger ran in: "Report! The wounded soldiers of the 1st Armored Battalion are back!"

William was shocked: "Wounded soldiers?"

"Yes, the wounded soldier said that the Ants only captured officers with the rank of captain and above, and for the others they just shot and wounded their arms and let them go."

William cursed: "These Ant people are so cunning! This way, these wounded soldiers will not be able to go to the battlefield, and it will also drag down our medical system and occupy our supply capacity!"

But he immediately thought about it and said, "Bring the wounded soldier with the highest rank, and let me hear what he has to say!"

The messenger immediately turned and left.

The chief of staff took a step forward and said: "What these people brought back may be news deliberately spread by the enemy, so be careful."

"I know." Major General William sighed to express his dissatisfaction.

At this time, the messenger came back with two wounded soldiers. One was a lieutenant, flying at a low altitude according to the standard of catching prisoners by the Ants, and the other was a sergeant major, wearing a senior exempt soldier mark-this showed that he was not Need to participate in general service work, is the backbone of the army veterans.

Major General William first asked the lieutenant: "Do you understand Antese?"

Lieutenant: "I don't understand."

Major General: "That's right. What information did you get from the enemy using your observation skills?"

"The number of enemy tanks was very large and they were hidden in the woods. We encountered side fire from enemy tanks, but we could only see the flames and smoke of the cannons, not the enemy tanks."

Major General: "How can you be sure that there are many enemy tanks when you can't see them?"

"The enemy's artillery fire was very dense, and there was always a huge roar of engines. Our battalion was destroyed almost instantly, with only about three rounds of volley fire at most. And I saw many artillery shells flying away, and the Anters' cannon The technique is as bad as ever!

"So I think the enemy has at least 60 tanks hidden in the woods to attack us!"

In fact, this is a wrong perception. In fact, the shooting of the 151st Division was very accurate this time - relatively speaking - in fact, it only took an average of two armor-piercing rounds to destroy a Prosen tank.

But if you stand in the queue and look forward and backward, due to the perspective problem, it will give people the illusion that many shells are flying.

The lieutenant did not realize this, so he judged firmly.

Major General William wrote sixty with a pencil on the map and put a question mark next to it.

"What else?" he asked.

Lieutenant: "The enemy infantry has Guards cloaks and is very well equipped. They are all semi-automatic Tokarev rifles. They also have a large number of captured MP submachine guns from us, and they have enough magazines."

"Battle-experienced elite infantry." Major General William wrote down this line on the map again, "Continue."

The lieutenant shook his head: "No more. I always wanted to wait a little longer to see their tanks appear. But the tank group has been hiding in the woods and has no intention of showing up."

At this time, the senior sergeant major spoke: "The enemy is performing a voodoo ritual!"

Everyone looked at the sergeant major.

The staff officer took out an identification book and opened it in front of the sergeant major: "Which voodoo ritual is it?"

The sergeant major quickly flipped through the book, but still shook his head: "It's not there. This kind of ritual seems to require insulting the enemy's corpse! After the ritual was completed, the person who performed the ritual howled like a barbarian."

Chief of Staff: "According to the imperial propaganda minister, the Ants are barbarians."

"Uh..." the sergeant major was embarrassed, "Let me think about it, yes, a howl like a Viking war cry!"

In fact, no, it was just the sergeant major's subjective consciousness that distorted his memory.

"Viking War Cry?" Major General William wrote the words "Viking War Cry" on the paper and put three question marks. "I thought the Vikings were a branch of Germany."

Chief of Staff: "Do I need to report it? During the Carolingian Campaign, the malaria caused by witches was more troublesome than any army in the United Kingdom."

Major General William: "No, wait until the battle is over before reporting it. Reporting it now seems like you are excusing yourself. Even if it is an evil ritual, it usually takes a long time to take effect. This is the limitation of these strange and chaotic things. sex."

The sergeant major suddenly said: "They are the Ant people! In the primitive jungle of the East, witches control the power of the incarnation of beast elements! Voodoo magic will evoke strange things in the forest!"

"Calm down, this is Kozalia. Most of this kingdom is grassland." Major General William said, "Okay, if there is no other information, I want to..."

The lieutenant suddenly said: "Wait a minute, although I don't speak Antese, I can understand the other person's name because I understand Carolingian. Many names in Antese are variations of Carolingian."

"Oh?" Major General William became interested again, "What did you hear?"

"I heard that their commander's name seemed to be Alexey So-and-so Rokossov."

The chief of staff immediately ran to look through the list of enemy generals issued by the army group headquarters to find the names and corresponding unit numbers.

He immediately found it: "This is the General Ant who performed well in Upper Penier and Loktov! Army Group South's evaluation of him is: a master of defensive warfare, a reckless general who likes to rush forward alone to boost morale. "

Major General William frowned: "How do these two words come together? Aren't the masters of defensive warfare all masters of drawing maps in their own headquarters?"

The chief of staff spread his hands.

Major General William paced back and forth. After thinking for a few seconds, he realized that the two people who were asking questions were still there. He waved his hands and said, "You guys go to get treatment. Let me ask, did everyone who was put back have a shot in the shoulder?"

The two nodded together, and the lieutenant added: "And the arteries and veins were deliberately staggered, as if they were afraid that we would bleed to death halfway. This General Rokossov is quite kind, like a gentleman. Such a noble man is really Will he be an inferior person?"

The chief of staff was shocked: "Lieutenant! Don't let the secret agents of the Imperial Household Ministry hear you say this! You will kill us all!"

The lieutenant shut up.

Chief of Staff: "Let's go quickly. Recuperate after you go to the hospital and shut up."

The two saluted and left.

The chief of staff turned to Major General William: "What to do now? The second battalion is temporarily in chaos due to the impact of the retreating troops of the first battalion. Even if the second battalion is to attack, it will be an hour later."

"No." Major General William waved his hand, "We are not in a hurry to attack. We will wait until the infantry, artillery and engineers come up. Also call the air force and ask them to make up for their mistakes and plow that forest for me!"

"yes!"

Wang Zhong waited in the second ambush position until 1530 when he heard the sound of engines in the sky.

He took a bird's-eye view and saw a huge fleet of aircraft flying towards this direction.

No, it was flying towards ambush position No. 1.

At this time, a sergeant in the infantry trench in front shouted: "Don't be afraid, this plane must be going to bomb our position just now. Don't be afraid!"

Not long after, Wang Zhong saw from a bird's-eye view that the place he had just ambush was bombed next to him.

Good guy, the Ploson Air Force bombed off target!

At your level, no wonder the commander is called Meyer.

After one round of bombing, Wang Zhongxin thought that he might be able to return to ambush position No. 1 tomorrow and ambush the enemy again.

At this time, the tank crews commanding the tanks from other platoons in the earpiece asked: "General, the bombing is over, is it time for the enemy to arrive?"

Wang Zhong: "Don't worry, the enemy's goal is to break through us and encircle Agsukov. They will definitely come."
