Chapter 193 Rokossov and Former Enemy Reconnaissance

August 26, 0500 hours, Shostka.

Wang Zhong got dressed with the help of Lyudmila and Neli, looked at himself in the full-length mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.

Lyudmila: "I will go back to the army today."

Wang Zhong: "Ah? What about my hug every morning?"

"You can ask for Nelly."

As soon as Lyudmila finished speaking, Neli took a step back, showing her unhappiness on her face.

Wang Zhong pointed at Nellie: "Look! You scared Nellie!"

Lyudmila smiled and gently rubbed Wang Zhong's hair: "Alyosha, haven't you slept by yourself since the beginning?"

"It's hard to go from luxury to frugality, do you understand?"

"Alyosha." Lyudmila just called Wang Zhong's name and looked at him.

Wang Zhong sighed: "I'm just showing my dissatisfaction with you. Fight a few more enemy planes down."

As he spoke, he hugged Lyudmila, let the girl lie on his chest, and gently stroked the girl's hair.

Tens of seconds later, Wang Zhong reluctantly distanced himself and said to Neli, "Send one to Liu Xia."

"Yeah." Nelly nodded.

Wang Zhong turned around and left the dormitory, and said to Gregory outside the door: "Saddle up Busifaras and gather a capable team, all with submachine guns."

"Is the enemy conducting reconnaissance?" Gregory spit out the cigarette on the ground and stamped it out, "I'm going to gather the troops right now."

Lyudmila chased him out the door: "Alyosha, you are the commander of the entire division, why are you still investigating in person?"

"It's because I am the commander of the entire division that I have to conduct the investigation myself." Wang Zhong patted his fiancée on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I have a pair of eyes that can spot the enemy. I can spot them two kilometers away."

This is real.

Lyudmila: "What if you don't find the enemy? What if you are trapped in a tight siege? Are you willing to give up the troops you have worked so hard to bring out to others?"

At this time, Gregory ran away silently, obviously not wanting to get involved in the quarrel between the couple.

Pavlov came out of the division headquarters building, stretched his head to look over, and was immediately caught by Lyudmila: "Chief of Staff, tell him, he wants to investigate in person!"

Pavlov: "He did this in Orachi. Later, the enemy's motorized troops appeared near us, so I didn't let him go. Now, our patrol troops are still patrolling the West Bank normally. Let's It’s okay for him to go take a look.”

Lyudmila was shocked: "Do you support him?"

"The commander will personally investigate the enemy's situation, and the morale of the troops will be greatly improved. This is what military schools teach, and it has been like this since Suvorov's time." Pavlov shrugged.

Lyudmila: "But he is the last one!"

Before he could finish his words, Wang Zhong picked up Lyudmila and chewed her.

Nelly couldn't help but comment: "It's like chewing a pig's knuckle."

Wang Zhong nibbled until Lyudmila pushed his chest hard with both hands before he stopped. While his fiancée was breathing heavily, he was smacking his mouth.

Nellie: "Salty?"

Wang Zhong looked at Neli: "You are quite humorous."

"Excuse me." Nellie said modestly.

Wang Zhong looked back at Lyudmila, who had regained her composure, and said, "Ante women won't stop men from fulfilling their duties, right?"

Lyudmila sighed: "Yes, I was just discussing with you whether it is necessary!"

"Yes, believe me." Wang Zhong looked directly at the girl's face.

"Okay, you go ahead."

Wang Zhong turned around and ran downstairs in a hurry.

Then Buscephalus appeared swinging his bit. Because he wore the bit, he couldn't bite Wang Zhong's head and could only breathe in front of his face.

Wang Zhong gently stroked the horse's neck and said with a smile, "Do you miss me?"

The horse neighed and beat its hooves backwards.

At this time Gregory and the assembled security forces appeared.

Wang Zhong got on his horse and nodded to Lyudmila who looked worried. Just as he was about to turn his horse around, Vasily appeared with a captured walkie-talkie on his back: "I'll go too, otherwise you won't be able to contact us if anything happens." Division Headquarters.”

Wang Zhong: "Okay. But why did you bring this captured device?"

Vasily: "Its battery is reliable, I only recharged it in the morning. Our battery is not reliable, and we have to bring a hand generator. Give me a horse."

Gregory said to a soldier: "Go to the stable and pick another horse. Give this one to the ensign."

The warrior immediately dismounted and handed the reins to Vasily.

After a few minutes, the small force was ready. Wang Zhong waved to Lyudmila and led the troops out of the division headquarters compound.

Buscephalas was so happy that he ran very fast and rushed along the road to the river. Then he ran to the river beach and started drinking water.

Wang Zhong: "Hey! You are so free!"

At this time, the naval infantry patrolling under the bridge said to Wang Zhong: "General, although it is the dry season, there can be no one passing by! You need to be careful when swimming."

Wang Zhong: "Can't we swim across the river section we defend?"

"I just say you need to be careful. We can still swim here, bring light weapons and grenades. I just don't know if the Prosin infantry is as good at water as we are." The naval infantry said, pulling down his black uniform and letting him The collar of the sea soul shirt is exposed a little more.

Wang Zhong thought for a moment and asked, "Then if we spray oil on the river and then light it on fire, can we prevent the enemy from swimming?"

"Of course. But how much gasoline does it cost, and it's a one-time use. It's better to have more machine guns."

Wang Zhong: "Use it in times of crisis. I mean, when the machine gun is too late to block the river."

"Then you decide." The naval infantry said, "In fact, there is no need to worry. With such a wide river, the enemy will definitely consider coming over the bridge as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will use engineering troops to build a pontoon bridge."

Wang Zhong nodded. At this time, Busifaras finished drinking the water, let out a sigh, and then started running again. In a few steps, he jumped up the stairs next to the river, onto the avenue along the river, and then turned on Bridge.

The main body of the bridge is a railway bridge. Only the rails are not paved and there is a wooden path next to it.

Buscephalas ran along the path to the bridgehead.

The troops guarding the bridgehead saluted Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong stopped, looked at the bridge, and muttered: "If the enemy sets up machine guns to block the bridge, the troops on the west bank will be alone."

The soldier standing guard next to the bunker laughed and said: "The enemy's machine guns have to withstand our artillery fire. Look, there are no bunkers here for the enemy. You might as well worry about the planks on the bridge being lifted by the enemy." ”

Wang Zhong looked back and nodded: "Indeed, wait until it is replaced with an iron plate and then fixed with bolts."

"Then let me thank you for everyone, General."

Wang Zhong asked again: "Are the grain and ammunition reserves sufficient?"

"It's enough. It can last for about a week. Don't worry."

Wang Zhong nodded, clamped the horse's belly again, and Bucephalas galloped away.

————

It was already half an hour before we encountered the enemy.

And it was not the enemy's reconnaissance force, but the Prosin infantry fortified on the high ground.

Wang Zhong ordered the troops to dismount all the way, leaving a few people watching the horses in the woods, and led the others to a place only a few hundred meters away from the enemy's position.

Unlike the vast plains of Kozalia, there are many trees here, so it is possible to covertly engage the enemy.

Wang Zhong directly switched to a bird's-eye view and observed the enemies on the high ground.

There is a platoon of enemies, and they are not in a state of combat readiness.

Wang Zhong turned to ask Gregory: "If we call for an artillery strike, can you take the high ground with the existing troops after the strike is over? There may be a platoon on it."

Gregory: "My suggestion is not to use artillery fire to alert the enemy. Let's crawl over and launch a surprise attack. Those who follow are veterans, and they are all equipped with submachine guns. We have an advantage in close combat."

Wang Zhong: "Okay. You go."

Just as Grigory was about to crawl forward, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and said to a sergeant: "You stay with Lavrov and protect the general."

The sergeant frowned: "General, isn't Vasily following him?"

Gregory: "Execute the order. You can't let the general die even if you die, do you understand?"

"Leave it to me," the sergeant saluted.

Then Gregory led the people out of the hidden bushes.

The sergeant who was left behind glanced at Vasily: "The sergeant major doesn't trust you, musician."

Wang Zhong: "Musician?"

"They've been calling me that since my father became drunk and crazy." Vasily said with a bitter face.

Wang Zhong: "That's a good title. You are indeed a great musician."

Vasily: "Stop making fun of me."

"I'm not kidding you." After Wang Zhong said that, he turned his attention to the high ground again.

From the naked eye perspective, it is basically impossible to see where Gregory and the others are, but when you cut to the bird's eye view, you can see that they have advanced to a place separated from the enemy by a hedge. Grigory is assigning tasks to the soldiers. Listen from the bird's eye view. Not sure what he said.

Anyway, they quickly dispersed and headed towards the high ground in pairs.

Gregory touched around the enemy's machine gun position, and then rushed out while the enemy turned around, killing the two enemies in the machine gun position one by one.

Other teams also began to move out, and in the blink of an eye, all the sentries on the position were touched.

But a sentry fired a shot before he died, alerting the enemy.

Several Prossens immediately rushed out of the bunker next to Gregory, but he mowed them all down with his submachine gun.

The corporal who followed him threw a grenade at the hole, and the next moment the shock wave of the explosion rushed out of the hole.

Others also occupied key positions and opened fire one after another. The sound of submachine gun fire and grenades could be heard constantly.

Gregory rushed to the enemy's command post and killed two guards with a burst of bullets. Then he asked the corporal to set the gun while he took the grenade.

Wang Zhong thought to himself, let’s arrest someone who is an official!

However, Gregory's grenade had already been thrown.

Several people in the command post were stunned. They were about to be cooked in a pot. As a result, the adjutant of the enemy commander threw the commander to the ground.

Wang Zhong: "Okay!"

Vasily:? !

After the explosion, Gregory rushed in first. The enemy commander drew his pistol, but was kicked away by Gregory.

Facing the muzzle of a submachine gun, the enemy could only surrender obediently.
