Chapter 329: Fighting the Tiger on the Mountain

Wang Zhong was very satisfied with Gregory's demonstration.

In fact, hip-shooting and splashing water can hit pigeons flying in the sky, which is impossible for ordinary people.

Of course, ordinary people will definitely have a better hit rate than PPSh with a thread cutter. The firepower in close-range encounters is the same as that of PPSh, and it is more accurate than PPSh at long distances. In addition, with a lower failure rate, this is definitely a good weapon.

As for the low sound of firing, it is actually not that important. Gregory and his team wanted the thick barrel version mainly because it was stable when sweeping. The importance of silencer was not realized in this era.

Gregory lowered the muzzle and looked at Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong: "Well done, pick up the pigeon and take it to ask around. Maybe it is raised by ordinary people. Compensate according to the price."

"Yes." The two soldiers immediately ran to pick up the pigeon and ran out of the station with it.

Wang Zhong heard the workers whispering: "Did you hear that? There's compensation!"

"That's great!"

"If I were the owner of the pigeon, I wouldn't ask for compensation no matter what. What's wrong with the soldiers eating some pigeon meat?"

Wang Zhong turned to the workers: "That won't work. We can't take a single needle or thread from the masses. Only then will they support us."

He paused and changed the subject: "The workers will have to work hard today. My army advance team has many trains that will arrive today."

"Leave it to us!"

At this time, the soldiers of the guard company had taken down the red flag sent by the textile workers on the sealed car, and the tall flag bearer stood beside Wang Zhong holding it.

The red flag, the general, and the soldiers and workers surrounding the general, this scene is particularly suitable for taking pictures, but unfortunately Wang Zhong's "royal photographer" was not there.

At this time, a large group of officers led by a general rushed into the station.

The general in charge looked around and went straight to Wang Zhong: "Lieutenant General Rokosov! Yesterday, the headquarters only told me that a new army would come to reinforce me, but they didn't tell me that it was your training army!"

Wang Zhong: "Teaching Army?"

"Ah? That's what they all said!" The general was stunned.

Wang Zhong: "Our official number is the First Mobile Army. Of course, this army is also to test a new organization method."

General: "I heard that your army has almost 300 heavy artillery?"

Wang Zhong nodded: "Yes, I actually want to put more, but I'm not sure if the logistics can supply it."

After all, Wang Zhong's army is already very complicated, with everything. There are 37, 40, 57, 75, 76, 100, 122 and 152 calibers of artillery alone.

Many of the same caliber artillery use different ammunition. For example, the M6 ​​destroyer's artillery is different from the 37-caliber artillery.

Wang Zhong thought about replacing all the anti-aircraft artillery units with Crusaders equipped with 40 Bofors, so that the 37mm shells would be reduced to one type. However, the Crusaders sent too few, so he could only wait for the authorized Bofors factory to start production and mass-produce 40mm machine guns.

In fact, Wang Zhong has reduced the difficulty of supply as much as possible within the permitted scope. For example, mortars, 120 mortars are too heavy, and Wang Zhong's infantry units have a large number of 75 and 76 tubes, so he tried to only equip 82 mortars.

If this does not work well, then work hard on logistics and add 120 heavy mortars.

In short, Wang Zhong's army group is undoubtedly a heavy firepower in the Ante army. If it is placed on the Soviet army on Earth, it was also a heavy firepower unit before 43 years.

However, when the Soviet army carries out offensive campaigns, the headquarters will have reserve artillery to strengthen it.

And the Soviet army after 43 years, formed a crazy breakthrough army, and the breakthrough artillery division assigned to it had 144 152mm guns alone, which was very scary.

Wang Zhong was not so crazy because he was worried about the supply.

If the United States was more powerful, and sent 10,000 trucks to Ante in half a year, he might really have such a crazy artillery unit.

It's all the United States' fault.

But the commander of the Sukhaveli Front did not have Wang Zhong's cognition that transcended time and space. He obviously felt that 300 heavy artillery of more than 122mm in an army was too much.

Not to mention that Wang Zhong's army also had a rocket artillery brigade.

"Look forward to your performance." He shook Wang Zhong's hand. In this scene, it seemed that he was a lieutenant general and Wang Zhong was a general.

Wang Zhong: "What's your name?"

"Oh, I'm General Andrei Ivanovich, commander of the Sukhayaveli Front."

Wang Zhong introduced himself: "Lieutenant General Rokosov, commander of the First Mobile Army."

"We all know you." General Andrei said, "Please come to the headquarters as soon as possible, I will introduce the situation on the front line. The unloading of the truck will be commanded by the logistics commander of the front, and you should also tell him if you have any supply needs!"

General Andrei pointed to the lieutenant general behind him.

Wang Zhong nodded: "I brought the advance team of the army headquarters, led by..."

Wang Zhong glanced at his sixth-level clerk.

"Led by civilian Colonel Karatayev, he will coordinate supply issues with you."

Originally, the civilian position only had a civilian title, but since the war began, it has been found that civilians must also have military ranks. After all, there are often staff reductions in the organization, and at that time, the new leadership system of the organization can be quickly determined based on the military rank.

So the sixth-level clerk became a civilian colonel.

The old man held his head high like a real soldier, but the military salute was still a bit out of place as it was at the beginning.

After asking the logistics person to connect, General Andre made a gesture of invitation: "Go to the headquarters."

Wang Zhong nodded: "Okay, I will listen to your introduction to the situation first, and then I will set off to inspect the front line in person."

General Andre looked shocked: "Do you really want to personally inspect the front line?"

"yes."

"I thought it was just propaganda..."

Wang Zhong scolded seriously: "How can this be done! In the newly written doctrine, I emphasized that the commander should personally observe the terrain if conditions permit. How can I do this if I don't set an example myself?"

General Andrei quickly made up for it: "I thought that was what you did when you were the division commander. Now that you are the commander of the group army, do you still have to personally visit all the areas where the group army operates?"

Wang Zhong: "Why not? Of course, when the establishment under my command becomes larger, it will be physically impossible to visit every area personally. I can only delegate the inspection of these places to division commanders."

"But I will still do the reconnaissance in the main breakthrough direction myself! An excellent commander must be extremely familiar with every plant and tree in the combat area!"

Even through plug-ins.

General Andrei looked at Wang Zhong with awe: "This... I'm afraid I can't do it. I can't tell you that I am familiar with every plant and tree in Suhayaveli. But I will try my best to answer your questions. Yes. This way please.”

Wang Zhong nodded, and then he left the station under the guidance of General Andre.

Then he saw an old man shouting in front of a shop not far from the station: "You killed my most beloved pigeon. Do you think that you can just pay for it?"

Wang Zhong raised his hand to signal the whole team to stop, and then walked towards the old man under General Andre's surprised eyes.

Gregory immediately followed with the thread cutter.

Wang Zhong came to the old man: "Old man! It was my guards who shot down your pigeon in order to demonstrate new weapons! I will compensate you!"

The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Zhong: "Who are you?"

"I am……"

At this time, the old man saw someone holding a red flag behind Wang Zhong and shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Wang Zhong's self-introduction was stuck in his throat and he was embarrassed.

The old man looked at his face carefully, and then looked at the three stars on the collar badge: "You are... you are Lieutenant General Rokossov!"

Wang Zhong: "It's me."

"Oops! You don't know that people in Arvik have been in panic since yesterday! Everyone is relieved when you come! You want to beat up the hateful Prosen people, right? We have a lot of people from West Kosalia here. People, they all say that the Prosen people are evil, killing and raping everywhere! You have to stop them!"

The old man became more and more excited as he spoke and held on to Wang Zhong's hand: "I am a veteran, but I can't fight anymore. My children are all in the army. I gave everything to the church and the Ant Army." ! Just to prevent the Prosen people from succeeding!"

Wang Zhong: "Don't worry, old man, but you should retreat as soon as possible, because we are not ready to completely block them yet."

Old man: "Are you not ready?"

"Yes, so there should be some retreat. But don't worry, we will fight back soon this time."

"Okay, I get it, I get it."

Wang Zhong: "By the way, regarding the pigeons, please accept our compensation."

"Ah?" The old man was stunned for a moment, then remembered when he saw the pigeons carried by the two guards, and waved his hand, "I don't know what pigeons they are, these two are obviously wild pigeons!"

Wang Zhong: "No, you'd better accept the compensation. It just so happens that you are about to retreat, and use this money to settle down in the rear."

The old man looked touched: "What a good general, may St. Andrew bless you. St. Andrew bless you!"

After that, the old man kept repeating this prayer and watched Wang Zhong leave with his people.

General Andre waited for Wang Zhong to return and then said, "This is what the military priests have to do."

Wang Zhong: "I didn't bring my partner priest here. Let's go to the headquarters."

————

Suhayaveli Front Army Headquarters.

As soon as Wang Zhong entered the room, he saw a lot of enemy attack signs on the map.

The enemy-occupied area has been embedded in the Suhayaveli Front's defense zone, and the forward is less than 50 kilometers away from Yarvik.

Wang Zhong: "The situation is indeed very bad."

General Andrei: "The enemy put in a new type of tank, and the war reporter on the front line took a photo. However, because the flash was not used, the effect was not very good."

As he spoke, General Andre pulled out a photo from a stack of documents on the table, placed it on the map table, and pushed it to Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong picked up the photo.

Although the shooting was indeed very bad, the whole picture was blurry and only the outline of the new tank could be seen.

But Wang Zhong is still very sure that this is the Tiger tank.

In the history of the earth, the war started in September 42, and this world was two months ahead of schedule.

Moreover, the Tiger's performance in the first battle was average due to too many mechanical failures. But these Tigers performed extremely well and almost killed the entire front army.

General Andre said next to him: "Everyone who has seen this new type of tank is extremely afraid of it, saying that all our attacks cannot penetrate its armor, and its cannon can be used at a very long distance. can destroy our tanks.

"Some people also say it can become invisible!"

Wang Zhong laughed dumbly. He said that he was probably not driving a normal version of the T34 because the two-man turret T34 was too blind. If it was sniped by a tiger at a distance of more than 1,500 meters, it was very likely that it would not have noticed the tiger from beginning to end.

There are battle examples.

Wang Zhong: "It seems that in order to stabilize the defense line, we need to deal with these evil tigers first."
