Chapter 336 Tiger Hunting Plan
Wang Zhong's side.
As soon as he entered the headquarters of the 401st Provisional Infantry Division, he frowned slightly: "Why are there so few staff officers?"
The man who looked like the chief of staff touched his chin and said awkwardly: "There is a big gap in staff officers. A temporary infantry division like ours usually has only so many staff officers, and there are not enough clerks. We can only be responsible for logistics and try to ensure that everyone in the division can eat."
Vassily: "General, have you forgotten the situation when we were still the 151st Provisional Infantry Division?"
Wang Zhong remembered that Pavlov was almost exhausted to death at that time, and his already bald head became even balder.
"You can find clerks in local agencies."
The chief of staff shook his head: "They have all been hired. Now, except for the big soldiers, there is a shortage of other talents."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sergei, the commander of the 401st Linbu, said: "Are you here to reinforce our defense?"
Wang Zhong: "Reinforcement? I guess so, but we must first eat up the enemy's vanguard under our noses to create opportunities for a large number of annihilation of the enemy later."
Sergei didn't seem to accept this change at once: "Huh? Annihilate the enemy? Isn't it defense?"
Wang Zhong: "Eliminating the enemy is also a kind of defense. If the enemy breaks in like this, it would be fine if there is no disconnection in the follow-up. If the enemy is disconnected, doesn't it give us the opportunity to concentrate superior forces to eliminate the disconnected enemy?"
In fact, there were disconnection problems in several attacks by Proson last year, but at that time, the strength of the troops in Ante's hands was too low, and he planned to close the door and fight the dog, but he was defeated by Proson instead.
In the first week of the war, the commander of the front line of Ante keenly discovered a gap and ordered the tank troops to insert it. As a result, they encountered the assault artillery battalion assigned to the infantry division. They thought they encountered the Proson tanks. They fired a lot of shots, but they didn't knock down the enemy's assault artillery. In the end, their morale collapsed and they abandoned their vehicles and fled.
Wang Zhong himself once commanded a reverse "retreat", captured the enemy's supply station, made a feint, and then turned around and ran away - this was his first battle in the time travel.
Therefore, Wang Zhong knew better than others that the Proson people would be out of touch.
Find the flaws and quickly annihilate the enemy. In order to quickly annihilate the enemy, you need to quickly gather superior forces in a local area.
Wang Zhong's plug-in is naturally suitable for finding places where the enemy is out of touch. As for quickly concentrating superior forces to fight an annihilation war - it's funny, there were no troops before, and the concentrated forces were much less than the enemy.
Now it's different.
But the commander of the 401st Provisional Infantry Division could not understand Wang Zhong's idea. He said with a worried look on his face: "We have never learned this. When we were in military school, defense was to dig trenches and fight with the enemy repeatedly."
Wang Zhong: "This is of course part of defense. In fact, I did the same thing last year and summarized several booklets."
Commander Sergei: "I actually have your booklet and read it, but I was in a hurry when I set out and didn't bring it with me."
"But you didn't use the content in the booklet in the layout of the defensive position." Wang Zhong pointed out bluntly.
Sergei: "I... didn't think about it for a while. I just took over this division a week ago, and then I had to come here to set up defenses. I was so stressed yesterday that I couldn't eat. So I didn't even think about following your book."
The chief of staff of 401 said: "He fainted from hunger last night. I think our division, from soldiers to officers, is unqualified. When the enemy comes, we can only bravely take grenades and blow ourselves up with the enemy."
Sergei immediately responded: "Yes, everyone has been singing "The Last Courage" these days. I saw that the soldiers were still discussing how to choose the target to blow themselves up after the enemy comes."
As the original author of "The Last Courage", Wang Zhong frowned: "No, I didn't write this song to make you blow yourself up. I am praising the courage of the soldiers who burst out in despair."
The original version of "The Last Courage" "Sand Devouring" is a rock song with a bit of post-punk flavor, which is quite sad, but when Wang Zhong copied it, the arranger was Vasily. He had never heard the original version, so he changed it into a war song based on the lyrics.
As a result, the chances of ANT soldiers pulling the "glory bullet" before being captured have greatly increased.
There are even reports from military chaplains that some people choose to pull the glory bullet when they can obviously survive, which deviates from Wang Zhong's original intention.
His original intention was to do his best to survive, until there is no way out, and then pull the glory bullet.
But now he can't care about so much. In the situation of the 401st Division, it is estimated that if the enemy really comes, this division will be a division of suicide soldiers.
Wang Zhong shook his head: "Forget it, your fighting will is worthy of recognition, so I won't say anything. I will let my personal guard, Senior Sergeant Gregory, guide you to build fortifications."
Gregory saluted and turned to leave.
The 401st Chief of Staff immediately pointed to one of his few staff officers and said: "Follow up, tell the sergeant major of the unit to do what you want to do!"
The staff officer trotted to catch up with Gregory.
Just a few seconds after Gregory left, two soldiers from the guard company came in, obviously replacing the sergeant major.
Wang Zhong continued, "My advance combat group should be here soon. We need to find out the enemy's vanguard's movements as soon as possible, and then destroy them at lightning speed. Do you have a generator?"
The chief of staff of 401 nodded, "Yes, it's used to power the telegraph and other things. It's right next to it."
Wang Zhong pointed at Vasily: "Connect our high-power radio and send a telegram to the advance team in code, asking them to come here immediately. Try to arrive tonight, and tomorrow we will set out to destroy the group of enemies with new tanks we found."
Vasily ran out immediately, and Wang Zhong stopped him: "Wait a minute, we also need to contact the Air Force to ask about the effect of the attack and the enemy's movements."
Vasily returned the salute and left in a hurry.
Only Wang Zhong and the guards, as well as all the senior officials of the 401st Division, were left.
The division commander Sergei hesitated for a moment and asked: "Is your temporary 151st Division like this at that time?"
Wang Zhong shook his head: "Our situation is better than yours. We have non-commissioned officers and officers with accumulated combat experience, and the core personnel supplemented to us are all military academy students, who are temporarily recruited to respond to emergencies."
"Is that so." Sergei was shocked, "We have no experience at all, and suddenly told us that the front line was broken through by the enemy and asked us to set up defenses here. I asked the front staff who gave us the order: 'Who are our enemies?' The staff said it was the division , I later learned that they were the elite of the enemy's elite. "
Wang Zhong immediately understood Sergei's feelings at the time - probably the same as the popular emoticon package before the time travel: "You go and kill Sun Wukong!" "Me?"
Wang Zhong comforted: "Don't worry, I and my army are here - although only an advance team has come. Of course, at the critical moment, you will still be used as a reserve to fill the defense line, but you will not be a temporary infantry division to fight the enemy's Asgard Knights. "
"That's good, that's good." Sergei, the division commander, was relieved.
At this time, Vasily came in: "Report, the Air Force said they carried out three waves of attacks. Judging from the wreckage and craters on the ground, the enemy has not moved."
Wang Zhong: "What do you mean by judging from the wreckage and craters on the ground?"
Vasily: "That's what they said. They also said that a Pe-2 reconnaissance aircraft with a camera set off and sent us photos today."
Wang Zhong hesitated: "Send it?"
Vasily spread his hands: "Don't ask me, I'm just relaying, I don't know how they sent it, but the airport is less than 50 kilometers away from us, and a fast horse can get there in a short time."
Wang Zhong thought about it and it was indeed the case.
Vasily continued to report: "The advance team has set out from Yarvik. Except for the army's forward work team led by the old school director, almost everyone has arrived."
Wang Zhong: "It's good that the vortex has arrived. When the vortex arrives, we can win against the enemy's new tanks and armored shells. Otherwise, we have to make great sacrifices to make up for the disadvantage in armored shell confrontation."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that Vasily had something to say, so he asked: "What's wrong with you?"
Vasily scratched his head: "The office clerks are all in Yarvik, and I am now doing the work of the entire staff alone."
Wang Zhong : "You hold on first. When the advance team arrives, Alexander Alexandrovich, the current chief of staff of the 1st Mechanized Infantry of the Guards, should be here. Let him do it then."
Vassily was very upset and touched his hair: "It's over. It seems that I have to find a wife before I become the second Pavlov."
Wang Zhong: "Pavlov has a wife and has a bunch of boys."
Vassily shrugged: "Then the reason for his baldness has been found."
————
After dark on July 11, the village of Trinka, where Rokossov's temporary headquarters was located.
The vehicles of the advance team drove into the village in a mighty manner.
Looking at the convoy, Wang Zhong suddenly thought that if the enemy also carried out firepower raids from time to time like himself, his losses would be great.
Fortunately, the enemy's heavy artillery should have been left behind.
The chief of staff of the advance team, Alexander Alexandrovich, came to Wang Zhong and saluted: "Army Commander Dawa, five vortexes broke down during the march. I ordered the tractor to tow the more serious ones back to Yarvik. The two with minor faults are being repaired on the way. I left a Crusader anti-aircraft gun to cover them."
Wang Zhong saluted and said: "You did a good job. Let the soldiers work harder tonight to repair the vortexes that arrived here. Tomorrow we will set out to hunt the enemy's new tanks."
Alexander: "Yes!"
Just then, the sound of an engine came from the sky.
Wang Zhong switched the perspective and found that it was a Po-2 biplane night bomber.
It seemed to be planning to land on the road at the entrance of the village.
Wang Zhong: "Vasily, is this to deliver photos? The Air Force said they would deliver photos, right?"
"Yes."
Wang Zhong: "Let the troops at the entrance of the village turn on the lights. If they want to land, they must land on the road at the entrance of the village."
In fact, he was acting. The bird's-eye view here has seen that the plane has landed steadily on the road and slid all the way to the village.
It's not surprising that the Po-2 can land on such a garbage road. The field airport where the Ante people take off fighter jets is not much better than this. They flatten a piece of land to use as an airport, and there is not even any weeding on the runway.
The requirements of the Po-2 biplane bomber for the airport are even lower than those of fighter jets.
When the plane stopped, Wang Zhong saw two pilots getting off the plane.
They are female pilots!
Wang Zhong switched back to his own perspective and looked at Vasily: "The Po-2 plane may be driven by a female pilot. You must seize the opportunity!"
Vasily shook his head: "Unless you are not around, General, I have no chance."
