Chapter 573: Prevent Proson From Becoming Rome

"Name it..." Wang Zhong touched the stubble on his chin - the headquarters has been moving these days, and there are various things to do. He has no time to take care of his appearance, so there are a lot of stubble.

In fact, it's not just him. The entire Abavakhan Front Army looks a bit sloppy at this time. After all, the large troops have advanced too fast in the past few days, and everyone is disheveled.

Wang Zhong is thinking hard.

He named the destroyer Vortex before because the performance of the Vortex anti-tank missile mounted on the War Thunder Ka-52 is very scary. Now there is an assault gun that dismantles fortifications. It seems that the Russians on Earth don't have any corresponding equipment.

At this time, he suddenly had an idea: "This thing is used when attacking. It can break the most solid defense. I decided to call it Urban."

Ke Jing was stunned.

Pavlov frowned and asked Wang Zhong: "Although I know that your last place seems to be mostly fake now, I still want to remind you, you know that the country that made the Urban Cannon has fought six wars with us, right?"

Vasily: "The general is a Khazarian, so it's more than six times. Your ancestors even wrote letters to mock the Sultan."

Wang Zhong: "That's all in the past. I think Emperor Prosen's dream must include rebuilding Rome, so let the Urban Cannon blow up the capital of Rome again."

Besides, Wang Zhong thought, when the dragon trailer given by the United States arrives, I will also play a hand of dry land boating, use the dragon to tow the speedboat to maneuver and cross the river quickly.

Now all the elements are complete.

In fact, Wang Zhong originally thought of naming the assault gun Guangzhi. After all, every time he encounters a hard bone, he can shout "Guangzhi save me" like in the game "Black Myth Wukong" that he liked before crossing.

But in the end, he gave up because it was too troublesome to explain.

Chief Engineer Ke Jing: "Urban, the cannon that blasted open the outer wall of Prosinia is very reasonable. Then report it to the Equipment Department."

Wang Zhong: "Chief Engineer Ke Jing, do you still plan to stay on the front line?"

Ke Jing pushed his glasses: "Of course, I have to analyze the performance of the equipment in real time. The usage report you wrote when you used it before was too bad. In order to obtain detailed first-hand data, I must be here.

"But don't worry, I won't appear on the front line. I will stay with the train transporting the prototype."

Wang Zhong: "That would be dangerous too. I suggest you send your most trusted assistant to stay and record first-hand information."

Ke Jing hesitated for a few seconds and agreed: "Okay, I will leave my most trusted team, all of whom are my most proud disciples, and they will send detailed reports back to Yebao."

Wang Zhong nodded, then turned his head and asked Pavlov: "How far is the front line from us now?"

Pavlov looked like something was wrong: "20 kilometers, what, are you going to drive a small tank and break the formation yourself? ”

Wang Zhong: "It's a good opportunity to test the off-road mobility. We can go along the railway. If it breaks down on the way, we can send a train to rescue it."

Pavlov shook his head: "Okay, go ahead. I just looked at the armor value on the table. There shouldn't be any problems."

Wang Zhong clenched his fist, like a child who got his parents' permission to go out and play.

Pavlov: "But it takes time to unload this thing. I think it's better to rest today, invite the engineers from the front line to have a meal, and then set off tomorrow when we are ready."

Wang Zhong raised his hand to check the time. It was indeed too late to race the small tank today. He could only agree with regret: "You are right. ”

On the morning of December 17, the headquarters of the 16th Panzergrenadier Division of the 11th Panzer Corps of the 10th Army of Plossen.

This division is now deployed in the northeastern suburbs of Yarvik, and its defense zone is the leftmost wing of the 10th Army's defense zone on the east bank of the Sukhaaveli River.

The railway from Novorossk passes through the defense zone of this division.

Division Commander Schultz inspected the defense line early in the morning, boosting morale as he walked.

When passing the machine gun position of the 1st Battalion of the 35th Panzergrenadier Regiment, he stopped and said to the machine gunner: "Drag the machine gun a little back. If it is placed too far outside, the gunfire will be too obvious when shooting."

"Yes." The sergeant machine gunner immediately commanded the new recruits who had just been assigned to him to move the position of the tripod.

Schultz left with satisfaction.

The recruits immediately asked the sergeant: "Isn't it a bit too much for the division commander to personally instruct the placement of the tripod? "

The sergeant shook his head: "Half a year ago, the division commander was fooled by Lieutenant General Rokossov. At that time, we were preparing for Rokossov's attack every day. In the end, Rokossov ran away. We went over and found that the tanks we saw in the air reconnaissance were all made of wood.

"After sorting it out, anyone can come to the conclusion that Rokossov didn't want to attack at all. He scared us and made us defend on the spot to give him a chance to retreat.

"Now General Rokossov is coming with a million troops. Division commander, this is to save your face! After all, half a year ago, the higher-ups also firmly believed that Rokossov's million troops were coming and asked us to hold on, which is exactly the same as the current situation!"

The recruit digested the sergeant's words a little: "I understand. Half a year ago, the division commander was determined to stop Rokossov's million troops. Now this determination continues, right?"

"You can understand it this way." The sergeant patted the recruit on the shoulder.

Recruit: "But, can you stop a million troops? Our division only has 15,000 soldiers?"

Sergeant: "You don't understand. A million troops can't come all at once. We have 15,000 people guarding such a wide defense zone. The enemy can only send tens of thousands of people to attack our defense zone. In fact, it is still a one-on-one fight, but the enemy's troops are endless."

The recruit said with a sad face: "Can this be said so lightly?"

The sergeant smiled: "What else? What else can I do? So I asked you yesterday to write a few more letters home and give them to the quartermaster to send back."

Schultz inspected the anti-tank gun position and inspected the concrete bunkers one by one.

Each bunker hides two PAK40 anti-tank guns. The crossfire between different bunkers can ensure that no matter how the attacking tank "poses", there is at least one gun that can hit its side armor.

After inspecting the last and largest bunker, Schultz touched the 88mm gun in the middle of the bunker and praised: "Good, very good. In this way, the 88mm gun can maximize its firepower and continuously destroy the enemy's tanks."

The head of the anti-tank artillery regiment in charge of the position boasted: "Our position can withstand the attack of at least 100 tanks. Rokossov can't make a breakthrough here."

Schultz nodded: "Well, very good, Rokossov likes to play some tricks. He has never fought with us in an upright manner. This time, let him get a bloody head!"

In fact, in Abavakhan, Rokossov had already blocked the offensive of the Sixth Army in an upright manner, but Schultz would not admit it.

After saying the harsh words, Schultz came to the artillery telescope, put his eyes on the eyepiece, and asked the adjutant who was following him around while observing: "How many of our troops passed through last night?"

"Not many. Our troops outside the city have completely retreated into the city. We are currently at the edge of the defense zone. The defense line of the Second Infantry Army is across the Sukhayaveli River, across the river from us." The adjutant replied.

"Very good." Schultz slightly turned the artillery telescope to make sure that there was no trace of the enemy in front, and then returned the observation position to the artillery observer.

He turned around and said to the adjutant with his hands behind his back: "Rokossov's troops have probably been running day and night for too long, and they are as tired as the remnants of the Second Army. He may need to rest for a week before launching an attack! We can continue to strengthen our defense. The longer he rests, the higher the cost of taking our position!"

As soon as the voice fell, the roar of the engine came from outside.

Schultz identified it and immediately found that the sound came from the northeast. He immediately pushed the artillery observer away, his eyes pressed against the eyepiece, and then he looked at the white smoke rising on the horizon.

That was the tank troops that had deployed the attack formation and were moving in!

Schultz frowned: "How is it possible? How could Rokossov attack without artillery preparation?"

Adjutant: "Is it a scam? Trick us into entering the position before artillery preparation?"

Schultz thought about it and ordered: "Order the soldiers whose combat positions are not in the bunker to continue hiding in the anti-artillery caves, and order all the people in the bunker to prepare for battle!"

The commander of the anti-tank artillery regiment, who had just said that Rokossov could not make a breakthrough here, immediately shouted: "Prepare for battle! Move quickly, you pigs! Ring the battle bell!"

The bell rang in the bunker and the passage below the bunker. The Proson gunner who was still in the dormitory ran out of the dormitory quickly and ran to the battle position.

The elevator for transporting artillery shells rose from the ammunition depot at the bottom and was then moved to each artillery position.

While the soldiers were preparing for battle, Schultz continued to observe the snowfield with the gun mirror.

The enemy tanks appeared!

Although these tanks were far away and only had a vague outline in the gun mirror, Schultz still recognized them as "old friends" T34 tanks.

"Very good, very good, they are all garbage that PAK40 can deal with at a long distance." Schultz said happily, "The Ants will be beaten to a pulp here again. Rokossov really didn't learn the tactics of General Gorky, which is a great help!"

The Supreme Command of Proson had summarized the flooding tactics initiated by General Gorky and sent the summary report to the colonels and generals.

Schultz naturally read the report carefully.

Schultz: "If Rokossov also adopted that tactic, with the strength and guard width of our army, he would soon break through."

Suddenly, his words stopped.

Because he saw an outline that was completely different from the T34 and KV series.

No, there are two silhouettes.

One looks like a giant turtle, and the other is square-headed and angular.

Schultz: "What the hell is that?"
