Chapter 591 “I cut off Rokosov’s aorta” (Supplementary update 37/81)
January 16, 1916, in the village of Zaygin on the Suhayaveli River.
General Polk, the commander of Prosen's Tenth Army, got off the barrel truck, climbed onto the platform of the train station, stood in front of the sign at Zaykin Station, and turned around to look at the reporters accompanying the army.
"General, can you step in?" the reporter holding the camera asked.
Admiral Poker: "My posture is not important. What is important is the place name on the station sign behind! I cut off Rokosov's main artery! It's enough to clear the station sign!"
The reporters accompanying the army hurriedly took their cameras and started taking pictures. The light of the flash continued to illuminate the surrounding snow.
When the photos were almost taken, General Poker left the station sign and said to the adjutant: "Blow up the water tower and maintenance plant supporting the railway and the station, and lay mines. Once everything is done, retreat."
Adjutant: "Retreat?"
"Yes, if we go upstream to cross the river, the logistics cannot be supplied. If we really want to leave troops to defend, we can only leave the death squads."
Admiral Poker sighed: "Let us prepare to resist Rokossov's attack, we are ready. Let us cut off Rokossov's main artery, we cut it - it's just that the supplies couldn't keep up and were pushed back. That's all. No one can find fault."
The adjutant glanced at the reporters: "Even if this is the truth, you shouldn't tell it in front of reporters, right?"
Admiral Poker: "They are all reporters who know current affairs and know how to write reports. After all, they don't want to offend the Imperial Household Ministry, right?"
The reporters nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we will report it truthfully."
Admiral Poker patted the adjutant on the shoulder: "Look, these reporters are all loyal ministers of the empire!"

Headquarters of the Ante Abavahan Front.
Vasily: "We prepared a table of meals, and now two tables of guests have arrived. What should we do?"
Wang Zhong: "Look what you said, Admiral Bok just mobilized a few elites to launch a surprise attack on us from upstream. His logistics situation certainly cannot support long-term defense in Zaykin, leaving Kashuch Just find a way to solve it.”
Pavlov: "We took this situation into consideration when formulating the supply plan. Therefore, in addition to the railway to Yebao, there are two routes for the supply of our front army."
The chief of staff said as he picked up the map stick, came to the overall situation map of the southern line, and drew on the map: "The first one is the land passage from the railway hub on the east bank of the Valdaichu River to our front army.
“This road has limited capacity due to poor infrastructure, but it is passable after all and can cover 30% of our consumption.
"The second road starts from Raoul Mountain, bypassing the enemy's occupied area, and goes all the way north to directly connect with the main force of our army that is attacking Borsk. This road is more difficult to walk, so it can only afford us 100% of the cost. Twenty consumption.
"Total together, we actually still have half of the supplies, plus the supplies hoarded before the start of the attack. Even if Zaykin is occupied by the enemy for a week or two, our offensive will not stop."
Wang Zhong: "They can't take it for two weeks. They should get it back in a few days. Including the time it takes to repair the equipment and tracks they destroyed, one week is enough."
At this time, Emilia brought Major Worcester, the captain of the United States Navy pilots, into the room and went straight to Wang Zhong: "General Rokossov, when will we allow the United States pilots to launch an attack on the White Sea?" Fleet attack?"
Wang Zhong: "We have actually occupied the airport. From the airport, we can cover the waters 200 kilometers away from the shore. But the problem is that the enemy forces around the airport have not been cleared yet, so we dare not let the elite naval forces of the United States move over."
After Amelia finished translating, Major Worcester spoke emotionally.
Emilia: "They said they don't care about this, they just want to launch an attack on Proson's navy as soon as possible. And they don't understand your leisurely attitude. The enemy is already retreating from the sea, so you don't have to worry about getting it." Victory slipping away?"
Wang Zhong: "Indeed, I hope to annihilate Prosen's active forces as much as possible, especially their veterans. If Prosen's veterans are eliminated, their advantage in the quality of soldiers will be gone, and they will be used by us. Drowning in numbers.
"But you can't eat hot buns in a hurry. There are a large number of permanent fortifications built by Duke Myshkin around Borsk. Although we have the drawings of these fortifications and know their locations, it will take time to destroy them."
Popov: "There is also a practical reason. We are not ready to continue to accept hundreds of thousands of prisoners. So many prisoners in the Sixth Army have already caused a headache for the rear. After all, our agricultural production did not recover very well last year. , all relying on the wheat, corn and soybeans sent to us by the United States.”
Emilia frowned: "You are not ready to accept prisoners of war, so you let the enemy escape?"
Wang Zhong: "No, no, what he said is just to supplement the reasons. The real reason is that we can't advance so fast. In about two days, we will be able to clear the enemy troops around the airport, and then everyone from the United States can turn around." field, and then do what you are most familiar with: blow up warships!”
After Emilia finished translating, Major Worcester shook his head repeatedly, and then said a lot to Emilia in a sincere and thoughtful manner.
"He said," Emilia looked at Wang Zhong, "They have seen many heroic deeds of Ant soldiers and civilians recently and were very moved. He did not accept that they should not be allowed to attack because of safety issues. War means taking risks, and it means taking risks. Bleeding and sacrificing.”
As soon as Amelia finished speaking, Worcester spoke again, with no plan to give Wang Zhong anything to say.
Miss Witch had no choice but to interpret at the same time: "At Midway, our torpedo fleet was out of touch with the escort fighters and dive bombers. According to the regulations, they should launch a coordinated attack with the dive bomber fighters.
"At that time, they would not be blamed even if they returned. But they chose to continue the attack, and then they were all shot down by Fuso Empire aircraft. No one successfully launched a torpedo.
"But I think if they were given another chance, they would still choose to attack. The commander of the torpedo fleet is Major Lynch, who is a friend of mine. He is a very smart man and is very aware of the dangers ahead, but he Never back down.”
Wang Zhong thought for a while and said, "Give me a day. I will let my armored troops destroy the stragglers near the airport today, and at the same time let the engineering troops repair the runway. Is that okay?"
Major Worcester stood at attention, saluted Wang Zhong, and said in broken Antese: "No problem."

Thirty kilometers northwest of Bolsk, Bolsk Field Airport.
Uncle Kamala got off the bulldozer and kicked the engine: "Asshole! You have to do it now!"
The commander of the engineering battalion came from a distance on horseback and asked from afar: "Uncle! What's going on?"
"I'm lying down! It's all in vain. I spend three hours a day on maintenance! Three hours!" Uncle Kamala took out the toolbox from the storage box behind the bulldozer. "Batalion Commander, don't worry, I can fix it soon! The old man is like my old horse. Although he is older, he can still use it!"
The battalion commander glanced at his watch anxiously: "It's almost too late. The plane will land in a few hours. These are friendly forces from the United States. They want to blow up Prosen's warship!"
Uncle Kamala: "Don't worry! The time wasted on repairing the machine will be made up for you later! Your uncle and I have been driving bulldozers for many years! I have been driving them since I graduated from tenth grade and joined my current unit! I have been driving until Now!
"The Plosans listened to the traitor and wanted to recruit me. I hid in the sewers for more than half a year, but I've waited for you to come back! Look! At dawn tomorrow, the runway will be ready!"
The battalion commander still had something to say, and the priest came over on horseback: "Batman Davarisi, don't worry, Uncle Kamala will not let anyone off the hook!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of submachine gun firing was heard in the distance. When the battalion commander turned his head, he saw gunfire flickering in the night in the distance.
"Let's go and have a look!" The battalion commander waved his riding whip, and the horse suddenly bolted out, galloped wildly in the night, and quickly disappeared.
Uncle Kamala cursed and continued to repair the engine, turning a deaf ear to the gunshots that were getting closer and closer.
Ten minutes later, the gunfire subsided, and Uncle Kamala completed the preliminary inspection: "Damn it, why doesn't it look like there's no big problem? You old guy, you don't want to move, do you?"
The uncle changed the biggest wrench, swung the wrench and hit it on the engine. The sound it made made people mistakenly think that the engine had exploded.
After knocking this, the uncle climbed into the cab and tried to start the car.
But the engine didn't move at all.
He jumped out of the cab again and swung the wrench - suddenly, he stopped, put down the wrench, picked up the parts that he had just removed and forgotten to put back, inserted them into the engine, and tightened them hard.
However, the uncle climbed into the cab for the third time and started the engine.
The engine rumbled to life.
"Sukabule!" The uncle slapped his head hard and drove the bulldozer into the night.

In the early morning of January 17, Bolsk Military Airport (under Ant control).
An SBD Dauntless dive bomber of the United States Navy landed smoothly, slid for a distance and then decelerated, sliding towards the parking area on the side.
As soon as the plane stopped, the ground staff who had arrived in advance immediately gathered around, put the gangway next to the cockpit, and then helped the pilot open the canopy.
The pilot chattered a lot, and the translator hurriedly said: "The runway is a little uneven, and he is worried that the bomb will be knocked off when he takes off with the bomb."
Ground crew: "What? Can it still be like this?"
The pilot chattered a lot more.
Translation: "At Midway, the captain of their wing blew away the bomb. In the end, the captain took the lead in diving just to attract the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower. Therefore, be sure to make the runway smooth!"
Ground crew leader: "Okay, I'll go talk to the engineering battalion commander."
At this time, the second and third dive bombers were landing, and there were torpedo planes and fighters belonging to the same carrier-based air wing circling in the sky.
The wind from the Pacific Ocean blew on this snowfield.
