Chapter 501 Commander Davarish Occasionally Abuses His Power for Personal Gain

Dozens of minutes later, Major Romanov of the 21st Heavy Tank Regiment, who had received complete instructions, saluted Wang Zhong: "General, I greet you for the last time!"

Wang Zhong: "Don't do it for the last time, come back alive!"

The major smiled: "It depends on whether the Prossens are happy or not. They are equipped with new anti-tank guns. The KV's armor is not as reliable as last year."

Wang Zhong could only say: "Cooperate fully with the infantry and make more use of the rugged terrain. The enemy's anti-tank guns will not be pushed in front of you so easily."

"I got it." The major saluted Wang Zhong again, "I'm leaving."

Wang Zhong returned the gift solemnly, and then watched the major leave.

Pavlov: "KV, last year a KV could stop the enemy for a day and a night. Now the KV is a target in the face of the enemy's rapidly increasing anti-tank firepower. So when will the heavy tank you proposed to design be produced? "

Wang Zhong shook his head: "How do I know? I'm just the one who made the request. How and when it will be implemented depends on the designers below."

After all, Wang Zhong's plug-in has nothing to do with military production. Although he studied science, he did not have the ability to make various military equipment.

If we are not lucky, the design requirements proposed by Wang Zhong in August may not be completed for two years, and the final time spent in combat will not be as long as that of Earth's IS-2 and T3485.

Wang Zhong waved his hand: "I'm going to investigate. I'll leave the headquarters to you, old man."

Pavlov: "Don't worry, if you just keep adding troops to the front line, I'm better than you."

————

When Wang Zhong arrived at the Air Force Reconnaissance Group's station, the pilots were all shocked. They all stood up: "General! Why are you here?"

Wang Zhong: "Come and borrow a plane to set off. You will know it when you see Amelia behind you."

The pilots looked at each other, and finally the regiment leader asked: "Didn't you say that the enemy is attacking? You actually left the headquarters at this time?"

Wang Zhong: "My chief of staff and I have a clear division of labor. When the enemy attacks, he is responsible for sending follow-up troops to the front line in a steady stream. He does this better than me, and there is no need for me to interrupt. So I came here to investigate. , find the enemy’s weaknesses and change the entire situation.”

"Oh, that's right." The pilots nodded.

Emilia: "Which reconnaissance aircraft has completed its maintenance?"

"It's all done, but you see, the airport is busy sending out bombers to support the front line. There is no time to refuel our reconnaissance planes. The planes are not loaded with ammunition, and there are no shells for the machine guns and cannons."

Wang Zhong: "Just tell me my order, refuel and add ammunition to the aircraft in the best condition. Also, I want the 4th Strike Fighter Regiment to send out a P47 squadron to escort. Each aircraft in the squadron will carry two 1,000-pounders."

"You are the commander of the front army, you have the final say."

At this time, the jeep with the Air Force logo drove over. It swerved in front of Wang Zhong. The Air Force commander got out of the car as if he was thrown out of the car. He stood at attention in front of Wang Zhong and saluted: "General! Headquarters is calling." The phone said you were coming, so I came over from the Air Force Headquarters bunker!"

Wang Zhong: "Call me commander Davasili, call me general - you and I are both generals, no one can tell the difference."

"Yes, Commander Davarisi! What are your instructions?"

Wang Zhong: "Refuel the reconnaissance plane, load ammunition, and choose the Fourth Strike Group as the escort this time. I will find a way to indicate the target to them and let them explode!"

Air Force Commander: "Then I can hang a smoke bomb for you. It won't add much weight. If you throw it, it will produce colored smoke. It is suitable for indicating the target of the air fleet."

Wang Zhong: "Wouldn't it affect the dive bomber's aiming?"

"No, it's not the kind of very dense smoke, it's more like a colorful strip. It was made by us to prevent the Prosin's target indicator bomb. Their ground troops use this to indicate the Stuka's target." Commander of the Aviation Force He said excitedly, but his excitement immediately cooled down visibly.

He sighed and continued: "We have issued some of these to the frontline troops, but they have not used them at all, or they have used them without communicating with the bombers in the air!"

Wang Zhong knew without thinking that they distributed smoke bombs to temporary infantry divisions with no combat experience.

Wang Zhong: "Next time, try to assign this thing to the naval infantry. They are all educated, have subjective initiative, and can use advanced equipment."

Air Force Commander: "Okay, I'll give it a try. Also, the plane can be ready in half an hour! Please go to the Air Force headquarters during this time, so that we can let you know as soon as possible if there is any news from the front army."

Wang Zhong: "No, I have a walkie-talkie with me. Chief of Staff Pavlov will call me if something goes wrong. I prefer to stay with the soldiers. I mean, with the pilots."

"We are also your soldiers." The leader of the reconnaissance aircraft group said proudly, "You are already a role model for us. You brought back so much information in one reconnaissance and took clear photos of the target. Our military commander has launched activities to learn from you.”

The leader looked at the man dressed as a priest next to him.

The bishop immediately said: "General, please take a look! This is the points table we made. Whoever takes a photo of a valuable target will have the photo posted here, and the entire crew will get points! When the points reach a certain level, you can apply for a medal!" "

Wang Zhong listened to the explanation with great interest. When he heard this, he suddenly interrupted: "You can't just reward medals, but also reward vodka and cigarettes. We have now passed the most difficult period last year, and we still have enough alcohol and cigarettes." Yes!"

The priest was embarrassed: "We are pilots, and our treatment is much better than that of the infantry. We would have been rationed cigarettes and vodka."

Wang Zhong smiled: "You guys! Your treatment sounds better than mine!"

"That can't be done. You have Chef Siris! It's been spread all over the world recently," the pilot who spoke gave it a try and stared at the people around him before saying, "That cook can do anything with a piece of tofu or an eggplant." It’s so hot that you can smell it from a street away!”

Wang Zhong thought that was not the case. The braised tofu and braised eggplant were both cooked over high fire, so they had a strong smell. Once the oil was hot, the smell was all over the street.

Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind: "Well, whoever has enough points, I will ask my chef Siris to treat you all to a meal. I will eat with you and let my orderly pour you wine!"

The pilots who were still noisy all fell silent and looked at Wang Zhong.

The flight leader asked on behalf of everyone: "Really?"

Before Wang Zhong could answer, a pilot shouted: "Can I dance with your orderly?"

Wang Zhong: "That won't work!"

That's my orderly! Although I'm not running a harem, I just can't dance!

But Wang Zhong immediately said: "But, I can let you dance with the nurses in the field hospital!"

The pilots cheered, but some were not satisfied: "Where is the girl from the laundry team?"

Wang Zhong: "Dance too!"

"Hurrah!" the pilots cheered in unison.

At this time, a ground crew major ran over and saluted: "Report to the general! The plane is ready! The fuel and bombs are full. Here is the maintenance note. Please sign it!"

Emilia took the maintenance note - that is, the maintenance list: "I have to actually see it. But please come with me, General."

"Okay!" Wang Zhong nodded decisively, and before leaving, he said to the military bishop, "The situation of your competition is very good! We need to promote it! In addition, I think we can let the Fourth Attack Group and the Fifth Attack Group compete. , let’s see who can blow up more trains. We can also do something about fighter jets!”

"Yes!" The military bishop saluted Wang Zhong as if he had received some vital mission.

————

Thirty minutes later, Wang Zhong was flying over the west bank of the Valdaichu River.

In order not to be hit by the small-caliber anti-aircraft guns of the Prossens, Emilia flew at an altitude of 3,000 meters this time.

The P47 fighter jet is ready to dive down and drop bombs at any time at an altitude of 5,000 meters.

In addition, listening to the conversation on the radio, there should be a squadron of Jacques nearby, but they were fighting the enemy and probably didn't notice Wang Zhong's landline and the P47 in the air.

Wang Zhong could hear the pilot's urgent shouting in his earphones: "Sergey! Circle right! Circle right! The enemy is behind you!"

"Where did he go? I lost my target!"

"Misha, don't follow! If the enemy pulls him up, let him go!"

"I can't go back, Ivan, I can't go back."

Although Wang Zhong had been investigating the ground, he still felt uncomfortable hearing these conversations.

The Air Force fighter force is still flying a variant of the Yak 1. When the new engine he negotiated with the United States this year arrives, the engine can be upgraded and pilots can fly the Yak 3, known as the "low-altitude perpetual motion machine."

He softly wished the pilots good luck, while drawing the location of enemy river bank observation posts on an aviation map and taking a photo.

At this time, Emilia said through the internal communication: "Your reconnaissance last time was frighteningly accurate, so you are indeed my kind, right?"

Wang Zhong: "No, I just felt that there was a problem there based on my feeling."

"I also know that there are enemies three kilometers away based on my feeling." Emilia replied, and smiled, "There is no need to play tricks on me. Maybe, I am the only person in the world who can fully understand you. Woolen cloth."

Wang Zhong just laughed.

Suddenly, Emilia said: "Wait a minute! I feel something! I want to leave the current route first!"

Wang Zhong: "What's wrong? Do you sense the enemy's high-value target?"

"No, I sense a target of very high value to you."

As she said this, without waiting for Wang Zhong's permission, she circled right and flew to the east bank of the Valdaichu River.

Wang Zhong looked confused, and a question from the Fourth Attack Group came over the radio: "What's going on? You're off course, general!"

Wang Zhong: "Follow me, don't get lost. Emilia said there is a target of very high value to me."

"look down!"

The plane turned sideways, allowing Wang Zhong to easily see the ground below through the cockpit glass.

He looked down and saw the blond girl spreading her arms as if she wanted to embrace the sky.

Even without switching the bird's eye view, Wang Zhong knew who he saw.

Lyudmila, the love of my life.

————

When Lyudmila saw the bomber, she didn't pay much attention, but suddenly, she felt something.

She raised her head and stared at the growing plane.

Then he started running.

Due to the reduction in transportation capacity caused by enemy bombing, non-key personnel like them were asked to get off the bus and walk the last fifty kilometers.

Of course, as the wife of the commander of the front, Lyudmila could get special treatment, but she chose to walk the last distance with the young nurses.

Now, she ran up the mound on the side of the road, opened her arms, and shouted to the sky: "Hey! I'm here!"

The plane passed over her head, and the wind from the engine made Lyudmila's long hair dance wildly.

This moment lasted less than a second, and then the sound of the plane's engine quickly faded away.

But Lyudmila stood on the mound and laughed.

Nellie climbed up the mound in confusion: "Who is on the plane?"

"Yes..."

At this time, the plane flew back and danced in the air like a fairy.

Lyudmila covered her mouth, but still laughed out loud.

————

Wang Zhong looked at the ground and whispered, "Okay, don't delay the reconnaissance mission."

Emilia: "Damn it, I actually helped a man to please another woman."

Wang Zhong: "Thank you for your fairy dance. Thank you so much."

As he said this, he looked down at Lyudmila on the ground and whispered in his heart:

——This is the most romantic thing I can do for you on this cold and cruel battlefield.
