Chapter 510 This Is Rokossov's Way of Fighting
Major General Schneider felt that he might be assigned to the front line.
He had only heard that Rokossov liked to use artillery, but he never expected that he would use it like this.
He suspected that 1,000 heavy artillery pieces were now firing at him, and the shells were about to turn the entire camp upside down.
According to statistics from the Prosen Command, Rokossov commanded the artillery units to directly or indirectly kill four major generals. Now Major General Schneider suspects that he will become the fifth.
Amidst the tremors of the earth, he took out his notebook and tremblingly began to write a suicide note with a pencil: "Dear Erica, Zhan Xinjia... Damn it, I am writing a damn Zhan Xinjia!"
As if in response to his words, the roof of the artillery observation post where they were located suddenly collapsed - it was a simple roof made of wood and rope, which basically only had a psychological comfort effect in the face of shelling.
Major General Schneider was knocked unconscious. While in coma, he saw his grandparents who had been dead for many years smiling (Major General Schneider was 51 years old).
He also saw parents who had been dead for many years holding their infant children, and saw the children learning to talk and grow up.
When the child joined the youth league, all this suddenly disappeared, replaced by Schneider's adjutant shouting to him: "General! General, wake up!"
Schneider opened his eyes: "Have you come to heaven too?"
The adjutant shook his head: "No, General, we are in hell."
Only then did Schneider hear someone shouting something next to him. He turned around and saw the tank crews holding fire extinguishers and fire-proof canvas, working hard to put out the fire on the tank.
Beside the swaying truck, mechanics looked for something they could use.
The stretcher bearers were running wildly carrying the stretcher, and the wounded on the stretcher howled, showing no sign of the honor and pride of the soldiers of the Prosen Empire.
Major General Schneider: "Am I still alive?"
Adjutant: "Yes, but the entire command team you brought is dead, the radio is also dead, and we have now lost contact with the division headquarters. The most important thing is that if we want to send messengers now, we can't find any motorcycles that can still be used. , so I asked the messenger to ride on horseback to report the news."
Major General Schneider stared at this "chicken feathers all over the place" scene. He was stunned for a long time before he remembered and asked loudly: "Where is Lieutenant Colonel Hansen?"
Adjutant: "The lieutenant colonel and the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 9th Panzergrenadier Regiment that just arrived were killed, and the entire command team of the 1st Regiment of the 9th Panzergrenadier Regiment was also wiped out."
As he spoke, the adjutant pointed to a burning armored command vehicle in the distance: "It is said that at that time, the nine-person regiment was gathering all the battalion and company chief officers for a meeting."
Major General Schneider raised his forehead: "I should have expected that Rokossov would bombard our assembly area and departure point. I should have let the troops leave the assembly area and rest!"
The battlefield is very vast. As long as a shelling like this is staggered a little distance, it will basically be a waste of shells.
But the problem is that Major General Schneider did not order to change places before resting. All units of the 9th Armored Division are in the same position at the end of today's attack.
It is estimated that the entire division was smashed to pieces by Rokossov's shelling.
Schneider silently remembered this experience and lesson, turned around and ordered: "Promote new commanders immediately and tell them the battle plan for tomorrow. The attack plan for tomorrow morning will remain unchanged. I will go back to the division headquarters first."
Adjutant: "General, the only horse with good legs and feet was ridden by the messenger. Now we have no means of commuting back to the headquarters."
"What?" Major General Schneider was shocked. "Use the radio to call the division headquarters quickly and ask them to send a car to pick me up!"
Adjutant: "The tank unit has just been shelled. The radio is the equipment on the tank that is most easily damaged by shelling. There should be no radio power in the tank now——"
Then the tanker on the tank next to him yelled, "We just fixed the radio!"
Each armored company in Prosen is equipped with one or two electrical engineers, and their machine gunners sitting next to the driver are often really "electromechanical personnel" and have some skills in repairing radios.
Major General Schneider was overjoyed: "Quickly, call the division headquarters! Ask them to send me a car! And bring new guards. All my attachés, except List (adjutant), have died."
The man repairing the radio immediately started calling.
Major General Schneider sighed and turned to look at the damaged armored battalion and Panzer Grenadier Regiment.

Wang Zhong tried hard to use the overlooking system to see clearly the effect of the bombardment. It's a pity that the overlooking map completely covered up the situation below. Wang Zhong could only know where the village was and where the farm was through the icon. As for how many Proson troops were stationed inside, what was the composition of the troops, and the troops were intact under the bombardment just now. What the rate is - etc., etc., we don’t know.
He could only pace back and forth in the headquarters. After walking for a long time, his mouth suddenly became dry and he shouted: "Nellie! Bring me some yogurt!"
Suddenly, he realized that Neli hadn't come up yet. When he saw Lyudmila in the air during the last reconnaissance, Neli was right next to her.
The two of them seem to be stuck on the road now, so they can only let the troop transport use the railway first, while the two of them hitchhike with a group of nurses to Abawahan little by little.
Pavlov originally wanted to issue an order to give the two people special treatment, but Wang Zhong refused.
Wang Zhong hoped that they would come to the front line later, so that if the situation in Abavahan was more dangerous, they could be allowed to stop on the other side - the other side must be safe, and neither the Ant Inland Sea Fleet nor the Inland River Fleet would allow Proson People rush across the river.
The worst-case scenario would be to split the port at the mouth of the river in two.
However, it is hard to say whether the Kuba Front Army can stop the Plosson Army that is advancing straight into Kuba. After passing Abavahan, there are no rivers, no strong cities, and even no complex terrain on the road to Kuba. It is completely flat.
The Ante Army cannot resist the Plosson Army on such terrain at present.
Even if the Kuba Front Army relies on General Dong to block it, the transportation line will be blocked, and the oil transported from the oil field to the inland will be greatly reduced.
Ante is now heavily dependent on Kuba's oil. Once the transportation line is blocked, there may not be enough fuel oil for wintering tonight. Millions of people may freeze to death, which will greatly shake the entire Ante's resistance will.
Now all aspects of the situation show that Abavahan is the Steel Grad of this time and space, and a very tragic meat-mincing battle will take place in the city.
Wang Zhong doesn't want his wife and little maid to be with him at this time.
Because he will definitely live and die with the city, just like Cuikov in another time and space.
When the enemy approached and the artillery could reach Abavahan, Wang Zhong would move to a more solid underground command post.
By then, I am afraid that even in the command post, a large number of people would be killed every day by artillery fire and heavy bombs.
Wang Zhong did not want his important women to come here.
So he played a little trick and let them be trapped on the railway, so that they could only walk and stop every day.
Pavlov did not understand at first, but now he understands, so he is doing his best to cooperate with Wang Zhong.
Since Nellie is not here, Wang Zhong can only ask someone else for yogurt.
"Yakov! Sour... huh?" Wang Zhong looked at the yogurt stuffed in his hand in confusion.
Yakov smiled: "Yogurt, right? I just saw that the time is almost up, so I prepared it. I can take good care of you without Miss Nellie!"
Wang Zhong smiled, drank a mouthful of yogurt, and exclaimed with satisfaction.
