Chapter 194 Is It so Strange that the General Comes to Catch the Tongue Himself? (39,000 Monthly Tickets Plus More)
After confirming that the position had been captured, Wang Zhong personally took Vasily and two guards to the position.
Gregory saluted Wang Zhong: "We captured fifteen prisoners, except for one major, the other highest ranks are warrant officers."
Wang Zhong: "Are there any medicines here?"
"Yes, there are medicines and bandages."
Wang Zhong: "Give them a shot in the shoulder, then bandage them with their medicines, and then order them to go to the station."
Gregory nodded and turned to execute the order.
He left a corporal to escort the major who had just been captured.
Wang Zhong: "Vassily, it's your turn."
Vassily went up and gave the major a rifle butt.
Wang Zhong was shocked: "I asked you to ask in Proson language!"
Vassily: "Ah? Oh, I see. (Switch to Proson language) The general wants to ask you a question."
Major Proson had just been hit by a rifle butt and was still confused. He replied: "(Proson language) I demand prisoner treatment!"
Vassily: "(Proson language) What kind of prisoner treatment do beasts want?"
At this time, gunshots were heard from Gregory's side.
From this angle, Wang Zhong's "treatment" of ordinary soldiers could not be seen, so the major misunderstood and thought that he was shooting prisoners of war.
Major: "You are violating international conventions by doing this!"
Vasily hit the major with the butt of his rifle again, which made his nose crooked and bleeding: "(Plosen) Shit, why didn't you mention international law when you massacred our civilians! I should have pushed you all into the toilet and drowned you!"
Wang Zhong: "What's going on?"
Vasily looked back: "He thought we were shooting prisoners of war and then condemned us for not abiding by international law."
Wang Zhong: "Tell him that international law is made for humans, and no international law applies to beasts."
Vasily translated immediately.
The major's eyes widened.
Wang Zhong pulled out his pistol and loaded it skillfully: "This pistol of mine was blessed by the Eastern Holy Patriarch Belinsky himself, and it is just right for shooting the Proson devil."
After Vasily translated, the major stared at Wang Zhong's gun in horror: "Don't use this to execute me, I won't be able to go to heaven!"
Wang Zhong looked at Vasily, who translated: "He said that if he was killed by this, he would not be able to go to heaven."
"Tell him that he was going to hell anyway."
After that, Wang Zhong raised his gun and aimed.
The major spoke a lot at a very fast speed.
Wang Zhong: "What did he say?"
"He said he confessed everything, just begging not to be shot with this gun. Even with a bayonet."
Wang Zhong thought that these people were quite superstitious, so he said: "It depends on his performance. What unit does he belong to and why did he come here?"
After Vasily finished translating, the major immediately replied: "I am the staff officer of the 337th Infantry Division of the 35th Army of the Ninth Army. My division is stationed here, and I came to check the defense situation."
When Wang Zhong heard Vasily's translation say "Ninth Army", he interrupted and asked: "Who is the commander of the Ninth Army?"
Vasily: "Let me ask you, what is the name of the commander of the Ninth Army?"
"It's Val Lieutenant General Termendel. "
Wang Zhong frowned when he heard the pronunciation: "Walter? Mendel? He likes to play with peas?"
Vasily was stunned: "Does this also need to be translated? I mean, the part about peas?"
Wang Zhong: "No, I just asked subconsciously. Where is the division headquarters of your 337th Division? Where is the army headquarters, and where is the army headquarters of the group army?"
Major (omitted the translation process): "There is a map in the briefcase carried by my adjutant, and it is all marked on it."
After Vasily finished translating, Wang Zhong immediately asked the corporal who was escorting the major: "Where is the briefcase?"
The corporal took it out: "Here."
Vasily took it and opened it, took out the map from it and unfolded it.
Wang Zhong could not understand the Proson language on it, but he could understand the military symbols on it. At a glance, there was no armored force on the entire front.
If it were not for the consideration that the enemy might have 88 guns set up positions and PAK38 anti-tank guns stationed, Wang Zhong would have wanted to launch an armored assault to get a wave of benefits.
According to the map, the nearest armored battalion is 200 kilometers away——
Wang Zhong: "Put away the map, let's retreat quickly to avoid any trouble. Make a copy of the map and hand it over. As for this major, knock him out, tie him up, and put him on the saddle."
The corporal who was holding the major laughed: "I know this. I was a hunter. I tied up the deer I killed and put them on the saddle. People are much lighter than deer."
Vassily asked: "Don't you call for artillery fire? According to the map, the headquarters of the 337th Division is within the range of our artillery."
Wang Zhong: "If we fire now, they will avoid the artillery. Let's talk about it at night."
Vassily grinned: "You are right."

When Wang Zhong returned to the completely demolished west bank of Shostka with this elite force, he found that many soldiers were active on the west bank.
They probably came by ferry, and a ferry was parked next to the demolished ferry ticket office.
These people were unloading cement blocks from the truck.
Wang Zhong rode over and asked curiously: "What's the matter with this pillar?"
The lieutenant who was questioned immediately saluted: "Report to the general, this is a target. The anti-tank artillery unit will shoot at this pillar later."
Wang Zhong: "Shoot the pillar?"
Lieutenant: "Uh, wrong, it's the wooden target on the pillar, but the target has not been installed yet. The troops have shot at the 800-meter target before, which is the car, and hit it perfectly, so let us come over to put up a new target."
The lieutenant pointed to the wreckage of the truck as the target.
It is indeed easy to use the wreckage as a target.
He looked at the wreckage of the truck, turned his head and looked towards the east bank, and saw a ZIS30 parked there. It is really hard to see the thing clearly at this distance without a bird's-eye view, it is too small.
If there is some camouflage grass and a bunker, I am afraid that the enemy will not be able to see it at all unless they fire.
Wang Zhong put down the telescope and asked the lieutenant who arranged the target: "How is the new equipment?"
The lieutenant: "Look for yourself, the wreckage was shot through, and the accuracy is very high. It is said that it was aimed at the engine intake, and it really hit it. This is more than 800 meters! If it is a 45mm gun, it may not hit it."
Wang Zhong: "Because it is accurate, you are erecting a 1,000-meter target?"
"Yes."
As they talked, the soldiers were installing the wooden targets on the piers.
Wang Zhong turned around and ordered: "Send the 'venison' across the river first, and we'll see how the artillerymen perform with the new weapon."
"Yes." The corporal carrying the prisoner immediately clamped his horse's belly and rode towards the bridge.
The major on the saddle looked at Wang Zhong, as if relieved.
Wang Zhong thought without any pity: When you are in the hands of the Tribunal, you will feel that it is better to be shot to death by my blessed pistol.
A minute later, the target was set, and the lieutenant said to Wang Zhong: "General, please come over quickly, we will hide away."
Wang Zhong: "You drive away, we will follow on horseback."
"Yes." The lieutenant got on the car with his men and ran away from the target. Wang Zhong also rode Bucephalus and followed the truck.
Soon the group and the target were about 100 meters apart, and the lieutenant fired a flare from the cab of the truck - there was no radio on both sides, so they could only communicate with flares.
Wang Zhong raised the telescope, which was actually a bird's-eye view. He saw that the gunners on the ZIS30 had finished loading and began to adjust the gun's elevation.
The aiming process lasted about 20 seconds, and then the 57 gun opened fire.
It seemed that the movement was slightly smaller than that of the 76 gun.
A beam of light hit the target - the pier below.
A cloud of dust rose from the pier.
The lieutenant raised a yellow flag with a curse, signaling the other side to cease fire, and then walked towards the target with the flag.
Wang Zhong got off his horse and followed the lieutenant. He heard him muttering: "You have to show off like this! That pier is going to be a target!"
When he arrived in front of the pier, Wang Zhong squatted down to check it out - the shell hit the pier and then came out from the side. It seemed that the concrete pier forcibly changed the direction of the shell.
Wang Zhong gestured at the depth of the marks on the pier and said in amazement: "I'm afraid that all the enemy tanks can't withstand this."
Lieutenant: "I think so too. After all, they just used a truck as a target and shot it through. Although the engine of the truck has been removed, it is still very powerful."
Wang Zhong: "Yeah. The result is gratifying."
"If there are more of this kind of gun, none of the Proson people will be able to return." The lieutenant sighed.
Wang Zhong could only smile bitterly.
It is true that the 57 gun has excellent performance, but the production time is too long and the production is too slow. If you want more equipment, you can only hope that Wang Zhong awakens a void equipment system.
Wang Zhong switched to a bird's-eye view and confirmed that he did not have this ability.
He could only make the best use of the 57 gun in his hand.
Wang Zhong glanced at the ZIS30 self-propelled artillery on the other side of the river.
————
Wang Zhong crossed the river and came directly to the side of the ZIS30.
Several veterans of the anti-tank artillery who had experienced the bloody battle of Orachi praised the new weapon: "If we had this thing in Orachi, combined with the bunkers dug for the tanks at that time, we would have wiped out the enemy's armored division long ago! Completely wiped it out!"
Wang Zhong: "You can also wipe out the enemy's armored division now."
Everyone turned around and saluted in unison: "General!"
At this moment, Wang Zhong suddenly thought, will there be a day in the future when the troops will only shout Ura when they see him?
Just like a certain dwarf, the Carolingian Army will only shout Long Live the Emperor when they see him.
Just thinking about it, it's quite exciting. It's a pity that Ante probably won't have a Tsar in the future.
Wang Zhong: "How do you think the stuff I got for you?"
"Excellent." The old soldier who just spoke said, "It's a pity that it's only now available."
"No, this is the result of your hard work in Orachi! The results of the battle in Orachi have given me enough reputation to ask for this kind of weapon for you." Wang Zhong glanced at everyone, "This is the recognition of your hard work! Do you understand?"
No matter whether they were new recruits or veterans, they all looked happy at this time.
For a soldier, it is a great honor to have their hard work recognized.
Wang Zhong: "Next, ZIS30 will continue to be sent from the rear. You must get familiar with them as soon as possible. The enemy will be here in 20 days at the latest."
"Don't worry, general!" The old sergeant just responded on behalf of everyone, "We will definitely make sure that the Prosen people will never come back!"
