Arc of Gunfire

Vasily interjected: "But it will take time for us to counterattack back to Plosen territory, right?"

Wang Zhong: "Indeed, so General Gorky still has about a year to take advantage of the deep attack."

Vasily was shocked: "Huh? So next year we will fight in Plosen? Isn't it a bit fast?"

There were many staff officers in the room at this time, but they were all in no mood to work. They all raised their heads and could not suppress the smiles on their faces.

Who can restrain it? The star of victory will be returned to Prosen territory next year!

Wang Zhong: "I didn't say that, it's just... we might be able to reach Mount Kalba by the end of the year, and next year we can climb Mount Kalba!"

General Gorky was deep in thought when he heard Wang Zhong's words and immediately raised his head: "Are you going to Moravia? I thought you would go straight to Prosonia."

Wang Zhong: "Of course I will go straight to Prosonia. The Melania People's Army under my command also hopes to regain its motherland. But judging from the combat effectiveness of the Moravia troops, it is easier to defeat Moravia. After capturing Moravia, the Plosen people had no oil fields at all.”

Of course, Wang Zhong knew that Earth's Santoku relied on synthetic oil to maintain the operation of its war machine after the oil fields in Romania were bombed and destroyed.

But the fact that the enemy has synthetic oil does not mean that there is no demand for natural oil at all. In addition to being used as fuel, oil also has many chemical uses. Cutting off the oil supply is not just as simple as leaving the enemy's tanks without oil to burn.

General Gorky laughed: "Very good, last year the enemy wanted to cut off our oil supply, so you did the opposite! And taking a detour from Moravia might be a way to avoid the enemy's heavy troops. "

As he spoke, he came to the map, stared at the vast Khazalia for a while and said: "But if you really recapture Agsukov and advance to the foot of Mount Kalba, there is another one that is even more attractive. The direction of attack! I think this is your true intention!”

Gorky poked Agsukov with a map stick, and then swiped north: "Go straight to the Baltic Sea and surround Army Group Center and Army Group North!"

Wang Zhong grinned: "I was discovered by you."

General Gorky laughed loudly: "Seizing oil can indeed end the war, as can annihilating the enemy's vitality! I think with your character, you will definitely choose to annihilate the enemy's vitality! And in this way, you can also fulfill your promise to the Melania people! "

Wang Zhong: “Yes, Melania’s people’s army sacrificed 17,000 people in Abawahan, and about 11,000 people were irrecoverably disabled, and the first batch of Melania’s people to join us The first division of the army only has fifteen thousand combatants.

"The entire Melania People's Army lost three-tenths of its combatants. They shed their blood on our land to defend our country. I must repay them!"

General Gorky: "I understand, I understand very well."

The two stood side by side, looking at the map, and remained silent for a long time in perfect agreement.

However, General Gorky changed the subject: "If you don't return to Yebao, what will happen to the development of new weapons? I have already heard about the two new weapons invested in the winter campaign, and our other front armies are also waiting for them.

"When I was in Yeburg, General Ivan Stepanovich (Commander of the Shepetovka Front) came to me specifically to complain, saying that you, the chairman of the Equipment Committee, were not working hard and did not promote the mass production of new equipment. , just care about your own happiness.”

Wang Zhong: "I have said many times that if I don't return to Yebao, I won't know the enemy's movements. Once I can determine the enemy's main attack direction in summer, I will go back and end the trouble!"

Mainly because there is no earth history to refer to now, Wang Zhong is not sure about how to develop next.

Although the enemy's defeat is doomed, the process of failure can change in many ways. If you are not careful, you may lose the battle and suffer a lot of losses out of thin air.

General Gorky: "I am surprised that you are so worried about the enemy's next move. I always thought you had everything in mind."

That's because there is earth history for reference, but now the whole trend is off track.

General Gorky: "I don't believe you have no predictions about the future!"

Wang Zhong: "I do have a little idea. A little subtle, immature guess."

He was originally a strategy game player. He played a lot of Hearts of Iron and other games, and he had accumulated so much experience after time travel. If he said he had no clue about the enemy's possible attack direction, it would definitely be a lie.

So he took the map stick from General Gorky and started drawing on the battle line: "The Plosans have gained an advantage in the summer battles in the past two years. No, the advantage is conservative. They have achieved amazing results. For a time, the pro-Plusen faction in the United States became arrogant.

"I think the Prossen Command may use these two years of summer campaigns as a template to formulate combat plans and avoid winter campaigns."

General Gorky: "Well, that makes sense."

Wang Zhong: "Then analyzing the summer campaigns of the past two years, you can speculate on their plans for this year. You see, in the first year, their biggest victory was the siege of Agsukov, and then they took Duke Myshkin from Shepei. Tovka was forced back to Borsk and almost surrounded Prince Myshkin.

“In the autumn, they almost surrounded the Western Front, but I blocked their attacking fists.

"In the second year, they surrounded our heavy troops in the Primorsky Fortress and almost surrounded Duke Myshkin's Borsk Front.

"Their most glorious victories were all achieved on the southern front. The large plains on the southern front are suitable for their armored forces to attack. In contrast, their progress in the north and the center is very limited.

"The biggest achievement of the Northern Army Group last year was the encirclement and annihilation of our two armies, which were less than 100,000 people. The Central Army Group..."

General Gorky: "I have been attacking, but there are no obvious results."

"Yes." Wang Zhong nodded, "In fact, there are objective reasons why they have not made progress on the northern and central lines, and the Proson Command cannot fail to notice it. So I guess they will launch an attack on the southern line. There are only two targets, one is General Ivan Stepanovich's Shepetovka Front."

The Shepetovka Front did not occupy Shepetovka, but they have been preparing to retake this important industrial city.

Once Shepetovka is retaken, the front can flank the enemy's Central Army Group.

Pavlov joined the conversation: "It's unlikely. The position of the Shepetovka Front is not suitable for the Plossen army, which likes to launch a pincer attack and encirclement."

Wang Zhong: "My chief of staff is right, so there is only one option left, that is to attack me, cut off the connection between us and Yarvik, roll up my flank, and surround my main force in Borsk."

General Gorky looked at the map: "The logic is very smooth, I have no reason to refute. But what good will they do to end the war? In the past two years, Plossen has launched attacks with the goal of ending the war.

"And this plan, even if they annihilate you, can't end the war."

Wang Zhong shrugged: "That's the case. But I ask you, do they still have a way to end the war through a successful attack now?"

General Gorky shook his head: "At least I can't think of it."

Wang Zhong: "So it's not so difficult to understand that they captured me alive and took me as a hostage for armistice negotiations."

General Gorky: "Too naive, how can this be possible? At this point, no matter who is missing, the war will continue until Proson is destroyed. "

Wang Zhong: "That's right."

Silence fell again.

After more than ten seconds, General Gorky asked: "If they really come at you, how are you going to deal with it? Continue to rely on strong fortifications to hold on?"

Wang Zhong: "With the examples of last year and the year before, the enemy may bypass the city I am defending and use armored forces to outflank and cut off our supplies. My plan is simple, deploy enough vortices and cooperate with tank troops to defeat them on the grassland."

General Gorky was silent for a few seconds and asked: "Can your new tanks be put into combat on a large scale?"

Wang Zhong: "I guess not. It will be enough to form a few heavy tank regiments by June. I will put all these heavy tank regiments into tank battles."

General Gorky: "The guys driving the tanks will have to sacrifice again. Plosson's armored forces are really tough. When I launched the attack last year, I had to issue a special order to let the troops avoid Plosson's armored forces and only report but not attack.

"The guys below are very dissatisfied and want to fight with Plosson's armored forces, but I know clearly that they can't fight and will only become the Iron Cross of Plosson's tankers.

"Your new tanks will be put into mass production soon!"

Wang Zhong: "At least you will have enough vortex tubes in June. At present, several factories that produce old T34s have switched to vortex production."

General Gorky: "Before the end of the winter offensive, my troops reported that they had discovered a new type of tank destroyer with thick tubes. I don't know if it is used to deal with vortexes."

Wang Zhong: "It was also mentioned in the situation report of the headquarters. I also asked for aerial photos. The enemy's technology is also improving very fast."

General Gorky: "After all, they have been bragging that their science and technology are the best in the world. In short, if the enemy's attack is really directed at you, I wish you good luck, but you have seen this situation many times, and every time you can make the enemy bleed. "

"Yes." Wang Zhong smiled, "I also look forward to your attack to achieve results. If you break through the defense line of the Central Army Group, the enemy's attack will be disintegrated before it is launched."

General Gorky shook his head and sighed deeply: "I hope so, but don't hold too much hope. Last year I only made partial progress and attracted the attention of the enemy's headquarters.

"I have learned about the general situation. If I return to Borsk now, I can still catch the train to Yebao tonight."

Wang Zhong: "Wait a minute, don't be in a hurry, eat first."

General Gorky: "I have heard of your meal. Only Yegorov came back after eating, right?"

Wang Zhong: "That's all rumors. My Seris chef is really amazing. Everyone thinks this meal is delicious!"
