Arc of Gunfire

Wang Zhong was very satisfied with Gregory's demonstration.

In fact, you can hit pigeons flying in the sky by shooting from the waist and splashing water, which is something most people cannot do.

Of course, for ordinary people, the hit rate of a thread cutting machine is definitely better than that of Bobosha. The firepower in close encounters is the same as that of Bobosha. It is more accurate than Bobosha at long range. In addition, with a lower failure rate, this is definitely a good weapon. .

As for the low emission sound, it’s actually not that important. Gregory and the others want a thicker barrel version mainly because it is stable when firing. No one in this era has realized the importance of silencer.

Gregory lowered his gun and looked at Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong: "Well done, pick up the pigeons and take them around to ask around. Maybe they were raised by ordinary people and compensate them according to the price."

"Yes." The two soldiers immediately ran to pick up the pigeon and ran outside the station.

Wang Zhong heard the workers whispering: "Did you hear that? I'm still paying compensation!"

"This is great!"

"If I were the owner of the pigeons, I wouldn't be able to demand compensation for anything. What would happen if the soldiers ate some pigeon meat?"

Wang Zhong turned to the workers: "This won't work. We can't take advantage of the masses so that they will support us."

He paused and changed the topic: "Today we have to work hard for the master workers. My army advance team and many trains will arrive today."

"Leave it to us!"

At this time, the soldiers of the guard company had taken down the red flag sent by the textile workers from the tanker truck, and the tall flag bearer stood beside Wang Zhong.

The red flag, the general, as well as the soldiers and workers surrounding the general, this scene is particularly suitable for photography, but it is a pity that Wang Zhong's "royal photographer" is not there.

Just then, a large group of officers, led by a general, rushed into the station.

The leading general looked around and went straight to Wang Zhong: "Lieutenant General Rokossov! Yesterday, the high command only told me that a new group army would come to reinforce me, but it did not tell me that it was your teaching group army. !”

Wang Zhong: "Teaching the group army?"

"Ah? They all said that!" The general was stunned.

Wang Zhong: "Our official designation is the First Mobile Group Army. Of course, this group army is also to test a new organization method."

General: "I heard that your army has nearly 300 heavy artillery pieces?"

Wang Zhong nodded: "Yes, I actually want to stuff more, but I'm not sure if the logistics can provide it."

After all, Wang Zhong's army is already very complex. It has everything. The cannons alone have 37, 40, 57, 75, 76, 100, 122 and 152 calibers.

Many of the guns of the same caliber also use different ammunition. For example, it is also a 37-mm gun, but the M6 ​​destroyer's gun has different shells from the 37-mm high artillery.

Wang Zhong actually thought about replacing all anti-aircraft artillery units with Crusaders equipped with 40 Bofors, so that the 37 mm shells would be reduced to one type. Unfortunately, the Crusaders sent too few, so they had to wait for the authorized Bofors factory to quickly start production and mass-produce 40mm cannons.

In fact, Wang Zhong has reduced the supply difficulty as much as possible within the allowed range. For example, mortars, 120 mortars are too heavy, and Wang Zhong’s infantry unit has a large number of 75 and 76 tubes, so he tried to only equip them with 75 and 76 tubes. 82 mortars.

If this is not effective, then we will have to work hard on logistics and add a 120-weight mortar.

In short, Wang Zhong's group army is undoubtedly the heavy firepower unit in Ant's army establishment. The Soviet army on Earth was also considered a heavy firepower unit 43 years ago.

However, when the Soviet army executes an offensive campaign, the headquarters will prepare artillery reinforcements to strengthen it.

After 1943, the Soviet army formed a frantic breakthrough group army, and the attached breakthrough artillery division had 144 152mm guns alone, which was very terrifying.

Wang Zhong was not so frantic because he was worried about the lack of supplies.

If the United States were more powerful and sent 10,000 trucks to Ant in half a year, he might really be able to build such a crazy artillery unit.

It's all the United States' fault.

However, the commander of the Suhayaveli Front did not have Wang Zhong's understanding of transcending time and space. He obviously felt that 300 heavy artillery pieces of 122 mm or more for a group army were too much.

Not to mention that Wang Zhong's group army also has a rocket artillery brigade.

"Looking forward to your performance." He held Wang Zhong's hand. In this scene, it seemed that he was the lieutenant general and Wang Zhong was the general.

Wang Zhong: "What do you call it?"

"Oh, I am General Andrei Ivanovich, commander of the Suhayaveli Front."

Wang Zhong introduced himself: "Lieutenant General Rokossov, commander of the First Mobile Army."

"We all know you." General Andre said, "Hurry up to the headquarters, and I will introduce the situation on the front line. Unload the truck and hand it over to the logistics commander of the front army. If you have any supply needs, talk to him!"

General Andre pointed at the Lieutenant General behind him.

Wang Zhong nodded: "I brought the advance team of the group army organization, led by..."

Wang Zhong glanced at his sixth-level clerk.

"Led by civilian colonel Karatayev, he will coordinate supply issues with you."

Originally, civil servants only had civilian ranks, but since the war started, it has been discovered that civilian employees must also have military ranks. After all, agency attrition often occurs, and a new agency leadership system can be quickly determined based on military ranks.

So the sixth grade clerk became a civilian colonel.

The old man held his head high like a real soldier, but the military salute was still a bit nondescript as before.

After asking the logistics person to connect, General Andre made an invitation gesture: "Go to the headquarters."

Wang Zhong nodded: "Okay, I will listen to your introduction to the situation first, and then I will set off to inspect the front line in person."

General Andre looked shocked: "Do you really want to personally inspect the front line?"

"yes."

"I thought it was just propaganda..."

Wang Zhong scolded seriously: "How can this be done! In the newly written doctrine, I emphasized that the commander should personally observe the terrain if conditions permit. How can I do this if I don't set an example myself?"

General Andrei quickly made up for it: "I thought that was what you did when you were the division commander. Now that you are the commander of the group army, do you still have to personally visit all the areas where the group army operates?"

Wang Zhong: "Why not? Of course, when the establishment under my command becomes larger, it will be physically impossible to visit every area personally. I can only delegate the inspection of these places to division commanders."

"But I will still do the reconnaissance in the main breakthrough direction personally! An excellent commander must be extremely familiar with every plant and tree in the combat area!"

Even through plug-ins.

General Andrei looked at Wang Zhong with awe: "This... I'm afraid I can't do it. I can't tell you that I am familiar with every plant and tree in Suhayaveli. But I will try my best to answer your questions. Yes. This way please.”

Wang Zhong nodded, and then he left the station under the guidance of General Andre.

Then he saw an old man shouting in front of a shop not far from the station: "You killed my most beloved pigeon. Do you think that you can just pay for it?"

Wang Zhong raised his hand to signal the whole team to stop, and then walked towards the old man under General Andre's surprised eyes.

Gregory immediately followed with the thread cutter.

Wang Zhong came to the old man: "Old man! It was my guards who shot down your pigeon in order to demonstrate new weapons! I will compensate you!"

The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Zhong: "Who are you?"

"I am……"

At this time, the old man saw someone holding a red flag behind Wang Zhong and shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Wang Zhong's self-introduction was stuck in his throat and he was embarrassed.

The old man looked at his face carefully, and then looked at the three stars on the collar badge: "You are... you are Lieutenant General Rokossov!"

Wang Zhong: "It's me."

"Oh! You don't know that people in Arvik have been in panic since yesterday! Everyone is relieved when you come! You want to beat up the hateful Prosen people, right? We have a lot of people here from West Kosalia. People, they all say that the Prosen people are evil, killing and raping everywhere! You have to stop them!"

The old man became more and more excited as he spoke and held on to Wang Zhong's hand: "I am a veteran, but I can't fight anymore. My children are all in the army. I gave everything to the church and the Ant Army." ! Just to prevent the Prosen people from succeeding!"

Wang Zhong: "Don't worry, old man, but you should retreat as soon as possible, because we are not ready to completely block them yet."

Old man: "Are you not ready?"

"Yes, so there should be some retreat. But don't worry, we will fight back soon this time."

"Okay, I get it, I get it."

Wang Zhong: "By the way, regarding the pigeons, please accept our compensation."

"Ah?" The old man was stunned for a moment, then remembered when he saw the pigeons carried by the two guards, and waved his hand, "I don't know what pigeons they are, these two are obviously wild pigeons!"

Wang Zhong: "No, you'd better accept the compensation. It just so happens that you are about to retreat, and use this money to settle down in the rear."

The old man looked touched: "What a good general, may St. Andrew bless you. St. Andrew bless you!"

After that, the old man kept repeating this prayer and watched Wang Zhong leave with his people.

General Andre waited for Wang Zhong to return and then said, "This is what the military priests have to do."

Wang Zhong: "I didn't bring my partner priest here. Let's go to the headquarters."

Suhayaveli Front Army Headquarters.

As soon as Wang Zhong entered the room, he saw a lot of enemy attack signs on the map.

The enemy-occupied area has been embedded in the Suhayaveli Front's defense zone, and the forward is less than 50 kilometers away from Yarvik.

Wang Zhong: "The situation is indeed very bad."

General Andrei: "The enemy put in a new type of tank, and the war reporter on the front line took a photo. However, because no flash was used, the effect was not very good."

As he spoke, General Andre pulled out a photo from a stack of documents on the table, placed it on the map table, and pushed it to Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong picked up the photo.

Although the shooting was indeed very bad, the whole picture was blurry and only the outline of the new tank could be seen.

But Wang Zhong is still very sure that this is the Tiger tank.

In the history of the earth, the war started in September 42, and this world was two months ahead of schedule.

Moreover, the Tiger's performance in the first battle was average due to too many mechanical failures. But these Tigers performed extremely well and almost killed the entire front army.

General Andre said next to him: "Everyone who has seen this new type of tank is extremely afraid of it, saying that all our attacks cannot penetrate its armor, and its cannon can be used at a very long distance. can destroy our tanks.

"Some people also say it can become invisible!"

Wang Zhong burst into laughter, saying that he was probably not someone who could drive the regular version of the T34 if he knew how to be invisible. The two-man turret T34 was too blind, and if it was sniped by a tiger at a distance of more than 1,500 meters, he would probably not notice where the tiger was from the beginning to the end.

These are all examples.

Wang Zhong: "It seems that in order to stabilize the defense line, we need to deal with these evil tigers first."
