Arc of Gunfire

After the meeting, the soldiers of the advance team began to borrow brooms from fellow villagers.

The brooms made by fellow villagers are relatively simple, just dry a lot of wheat stalks and then tie them together.

When sweeping the floor, hold the broom at an angle and press the broom hard against the ground, so that the wheat Terrier will stick to the ground by itself, and most of the dirt can be swept up with one sweep.

The soldiers loaded all these borrowed brooms into the back of the Willys Jeep.

That night, although Wang Zhong ordered everyone to take time to rest, most people couldn't sleep at all. Soldiers from the advance team chatting together could be seen everywhere in the village.

Trinca Village is a relatively large village, but a temporary infantry division and an advance team were suddenly crammed in. The houses were simply not enough, and many people in the advance team were originally resting in the open air.

Wang Zhong himself slept very peacefully, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed given to him by the commander of the 401st Division.

In the dream, Wang Zhong dreamed that he was driving a fighter jet and fighting fiercely with the Prosen Air Force. When he was facing the enemy, he shouted: "Super Sky Lightning Launch!"

As a result, no missiles were fired from under the wings, and the aircraft was shot down by the enemy.

The feeling of falling suddenly woke Wang Zhong up, and he sat up sweating profusely.

Nellie took a fan and looked at him with a puzzled look on her face: "What's wrong?"

Wang Zhong shook his head: "It's okay. Have you been fanning me?"

"Yeah." Nellie nodded, "You said it was hot before going to bed."

"I said it was hot and I didn't ask you to fan me all night. What should you do if you rest on your own?"

Nellie: "I'll catch up on your sleep while you go out to fight."

Wang Zhong stared at Neli: "Isn't it just daytime? Aren't you hot?"

"I'm okay." Nellie shrugged, "Maybe it's because I'm thinner?"

Wang Zhong sighed: "I'm not fat either, okay! What time is it now?"

Neli looked at Wang Zhong's watch on the bedside table.

Wang Zhong picked up his watch and looked at the time, then got out of bed and stood up: "Okay, it's almost time. It's time to send the Proscenians on their way."

Then he noticed that Nellie was hesitant to speak, and asked: "What? You want to come too?"

Nellie nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Wang Zhong hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "No, this is a battlefield, you can't come."

Nellie: "I have been on the front line in Shostka. I also learned how to shoot a pistol. I can be your bodyguard."

Wang Zhong smiled: "There are not many places on the front line where pistols are useful. Once you learn how to use a submachine gun, I will let you be a guard."

At this time Vasily opened the door and came in: "I heard that you woke up, General... Oh, I didn't see anything."

Vasily backed out of the house while still pulling the door handle, trying to close the door.

Wang Zhong: "That's enough, stop creating inexplicable scandals for me. It's all your fault for all the outrageous rumors I have now! Come in, release the door handle, and stand still!"

Vasily stood at attention at the door: "Yes!"

Wang Zhong asked: "Are the troops all up?"

"Many people didn't sleep last night. Didn't you hear them singing at night?"

Wang Zhong: "No. All units will gather together and check weapons and vehicles for the last time. When the time comes, they will set off in the same order as last night."

————

The first to set off was the jeep reconnaissance unit. When they left the village, smoke billowed, as if tens of thousands of cavalry were galloping.

Wang Zhong stood at the entrance of the village and watched them set off, while Yan Chen ate as much as he could.

He switched to the bird's eye view and found that the smoke and dust were even more spectacular from the bird's eye view. He couldn't even see how many people and horses there were in the "rolling red dust".

Facing this scene, the enemy will 100% misjudge the strength of their troops and will be timid during rescue operations.

This time, Wang Zhong did not want to surround the point for reinforcements. His goal was to eat the enemy in front of him, so it was best if the enemy did not reinforce. He arranged the sniper unit just to cover up the truth.

After the jeep convoy set off, Wang Zhong turned and walked towards the tank destroyer unit waiting to set off.

The infantryman on the "plug-in" vortex destroyer joked: "General, do you want to personally command this vehicle?"

The battalion commander of the annihilation battalion was explaining something to his opponent. When he heard the infantry's words, he immediately turned around and said, "General, do you want to come in person? Then I will be your gunner and you will take command!"

Wang Zhong: "No, it's just shooting from a long distance, so my ability is not very useful."

What he means is that his own plug-in is not very useful. After all, this plug-in is most effective when used in mobile combat. Squatting in pits and ambushes may not be much better than observing with the naked eye.

The commander of the annihilation battalion obviously misunderstood: "How can it be possible that your skills cannot be used? You are the commander with the most victories in our army so far!"

Wang Zhong: "It won't happen soon. After all, I am already a commander, and there will not be many times when I can personally charge into battle."

"General Rokossov, who just rushed into battle and dealt with enemy planes twelve hours ago, said so." Vasily said next to him, literally "narrating".

At this time, Chief of Staff Alexander said: "It's time, we should set off."

Wang Zhong made a gesture: "The sniper team is setting off! The encirclement team is following you!"

The commander of the annihilation battalion saluted Wang Zhong, then turned to his subordinates and said: "Remember the radio call sign and follow closely! Let's go!"

The subordinates ran towards their respective chariots as fast as they could.

The battalion commander himself climbed into the car in front of Wang Zhong, got into the combat room with his lower body, put on the headphones and picked up the microphone: "Sniper team, follow me, let's go!"

The engine of the vortex roared, and a large column of black smoke spurted out from the nozzle on the side. Wang Zhong smelled the strong smell of sulfur dioxide and took a few steps back, staying away from the retreating troops.

Fifteen vortexes passed in front of him one after another and rushed to the battlefield.

At this time, the sentry of the 401st Provisional Infantry Division nearby pointed at the sky and shouted: "Look, the plane!"

Wang Zhong looked up and saw 24 white track clouds in the sky.

This is strange, because propeller aircraft rarely produce track clouds below 7,000 meters. The track clouds in the movie "Fury" were all caused by heavy bombers at high altitudes.

Wang Zhongqie took a bird's-eye view and discovered that these aircraft turned out to be B24 Liberators!

Is this United States of Time and Space so generous? To the liberator? On Earth, Ami only gave Maozi a two-engine attack aircraft like the A20, but not four heavy bombardments?

The most important thing is that Wang Zhong, as a participant in the aid negotiations, is very sure that four-engine heavy bombers were not mentioned in the negotiations?

Is the aid provided in the form of additional terms during the aid process?

Wang Zhong said to Vasily: "Bring the walkie-talkie, I'll say hello to the Air Force."

Vasily immediately took the walkie-talkie from the jeep next to him: "It has been adjusted to the frequency used by the Air Force."

Wang Zhong took the walkie-talkie: "The ground calls the air fleet, the ground calls the air fleet."

A moment later, an impatient voice came from the walkie-talkie: "If you are calling for ground support, I'm sorry, we are at an altitude of nine thousand meters and cannot support you at all. We can't even see you."

Wang Zhong: "No, I just called you. According to the intelligence we obtained, the enemy has arrived in Yeisk..."

"We are not here to blow up the place. You can solve the problem yourself."

Wang Zhong was speechless. He wanted to tell his name, maybe he could change the bombing location.

At this time, a familiar voice intervened in the conversation: "The fourth attack aircraft group called the ground. We are a little below the bomber. Maybe we can take care of your target."

Wang Zhong changed the perspective and found the P47 fleet as expected, but their height was much lower than the bombers, so it was difficult to notice from the bird's eye view.

Be careful with them, the bomber is too big.

Wang Zhong: "The enemy's vanguard is in Yeisk. Repeat, the enemy's vanguard is in Yeisk."

The other side replied: "You said we really can't bomb the place name. After all, we don't have navigators like bombers. We don't even know where we are now."

Wang Zhong: "Have you seen the village on the ground? The village is flying due west! If you encounter something heading east, it will be blown up!"

All units of the advance team are moving westward, so as long as they look in the right direction, they won't bomb wrong.

The Air Force responded: "I understand. Leave it to us. I also wish you success in blocking the enemy."

It seems that the Air Force misunderstood and thought that Wang Zhong's troops were going to stop the enemy. Unexpectedly, they were pulling out teeth from the tiger's mouth.

During this period of communication with the Air Force, half of the annihilation battalion that served as the main force of the "Tiger Fight" also set off.

Alexander said to Wang Zhong: "It's time for us to set off, general. Although I think it's better to leave it to the soldiers, but you won't stay in the rear, right?"

Wang Zhong: "Of course not, let's go. Radio and I will take a car together."

————

After setting off, Wang Zhong kept calling the troops by radio.

This time, these troops are under his command, so when the radio contact is made, the vision of these troops will be briefly obtained.

Although these views cannot highlight the enemy and are much less effective than his own perspective, they are still much better than verbal reports from the troops.

Wang Zhong relied on this method to grasp the situation of the entire army in real time.

His capable reinforced battalion was thus deployed in an area about ten kilometers long and wide.

The two motorized reconnaissance companies at the front were like two tentacles of an insect, outflanking them from the north and south of the hunting target.

————

Prosen Army.

Lieutenant Linden was awakened by a rapid knocking sound. He rubbed his eyes, got up and pushed open the turret hatch.

His whole body ached from sleeping in the tank, so he looked very ugly.

The captain who commanded the infantry troops outside had an even more ugly expression: "The enemy has passed us. Judging from the smoke and dust, the number of enemies is very huge."

As he spoke, the infantry captain pointed to the north.

Only then did Lieutenant Linden discover that there was terrible smoke and dust from the north, and it looked like thousands of troops were advancing.

He turned around sharply and saw smoke and dust in the south.

"Oh shit."

He immediately picked up the microphone, adjusted the radio station, and shouted: "217 calls 210, 217 calls 210!"

Soon, the voice of company commander John came over the radio: "What's wrong with 217?"

"I saw at least a hundred tanks passing our position and heading towards you! Repeat, 100 tanks!"

"knew."

As soon as John finished speaking, an infantryman next to him shouted: "Ah pain!"

Lyndon looked at the infantryman and saw that the infantryman was pointing toward the sky.

He raised his head and saw 24 white lines in the sky crossing their heads.

Lyndon immediately realized what it was: "There are 24 heavy bombers rushing towards you!"
