Chapter 759: Going to the Tiger Mountain (IF Route)

(This chapter has been significantly modified and needs to be re-downloaded to watch.)

Wang Zhong finally arrived at the Oder River.

After raising the telescope, he switched to a bird's-eye view, observing the gray-black land in late winter.

Wang Zhong: "What's going on? The number of fortifications is less than expected."

Popov gave a thumbs up and pointed behind him: "Because the enemy was originally preparing to fortify themselves on the Vistula River, but we came over inexplicably. All the fortifications were left behind."

"In other words, the enemy has not had time to build strong concrete fortifications now?"

"Yes, they mobilized the People's Self-Defense Forces and dug trenches day and night, but after all, the People's Self-Defense Forces lacked training, and many of the noncommissioned officers leading them had little combat experience, so the trenches were dug slowly and amateurishly."

Wang Zhong once again looked down and observed the enemy's position. The trenches were indeed few and unprofessional. In many places, they were not deep enough and wide enough for people to walk through. The walls of the trenches were not strengthened...

Soon after the bombardment began the trench would be beaten to pieces.

Popov continued: "But this is the enemy's capital after all, and the Allies have frequent air raids, so they have built a lot of air defense fortifications, which can also be used for ground defense."

Wang Zhong remembered that Sandoku built a famous air defense tower near the capital. After the war, it seemed that the Allied engineers used more than ten tons of TNT but it still could not be blown up.

Seeing this historical record at that time, Wang Zhong immediately remembered a joke: "How strong is this security door?" "You can't blow it open with three tons of explosives!" "But three tons of explosives can send my house to the sky!" “After the house went to heaven, the door—it still stood!”

Vasily took out the photos from his body, flipped through them, and quickly found a photo of the air defense tower and handed it to Wang Zhong: "Look, these are the things."

Wang Zhong looked at the photo carefully and asked, "Was it bombed with something?"

Popov: "We used the Pe-8 bomber to drop a 3-ton super bomb. The bomb landed next to the fortress, but it did not shake the fortress at all - but the overpressure seemed to have killed a lot of people inside. The subsequent photos were taken Arrived at the body that the Plosans brought out."

Wang Zhong: "Overpressure can kill and injure people inside, and so can napalm and flamethrowers."

Vasily: "Poison gas can do it too."

Wang Zhong: "No! When I was in Thebes, I advised the President not to use nuclear bombs because the culprits could not be allowed to pretend to be victims after the war.

"So we will not use any inhuman weapons against the enemy, including poison gas."

In fact, Earth Dezi once wanted to pretend to be a victim of the Dresden bombing, but failed.

Wang Zhong doesn't intend to give these guys any way to pretend to be victims.

So poisonous gas won't work.

But white phosphorus bombs can!

Cloud bombs have not been researched yet, but it would be fine if they were!

Wang Zhong: "Prepare more white phosphorus bombs. The Urban cannon may not be able to kill these things. If that doesn't work, surround them, pile fuel around them, light them on fire, and suffocate the people inside."

"Understood!" Vasily took notes dutifully, "But don't worry too much about these bunkers, because there are only a few in total, and half of them are still in the west and south."

Wang Zhong: "How are the preparations for the siege of Prosonia going?"

Popov: "We are planning to set off further south in the Oder River Basin, so that we don't have to cross the river. This will be a two-hundred-kilometer advance and a large-scale encirclement. Damn, I am a priest, how can I start to explain the attack plan!"

Wang Zhong: "You are the third overall commander, and you are not familiar with how to make an offensive plan."

Vasily: "Well, I think it's better not to be so familiar with him. Marshal, if you like to go ahead alone, the chance of death is high, so don't bring Pavlov with you."

Wang Zhong looked at Vasily: "You kid..."

Vasily showed a proud smile: "Now that I have an important position, I can handle half of your daily official duties. Do you still want to send me to dig out manure?"

Wang Zhong: "You guy!"

Vasily: "I am also proficient in Prosin and can serve as a translator."

Popov sighed: "Look at you."

Wang Zhong once again turned his attention to the enemy on the other side of the river.

At this time, Ant soldiers hiding in nearby trenches shouted to Wang Zhong: "Marshal! When will we break into their land?"

Wang Zhong looked at the person calling and saw a weather-beaten face. When he looked at the medal, he saw that this person had already received a gold star.

He is a veteran of all battles.

Wang Zhong: "Have any of your relatives died at the enemy's heel?"

"No. Fortunately, you blocked the enemy in front of Yebao and Abawahan, so my hometown was not affected.

"But Marshal, a total of 70 young men in my combat team have died! 70 of them! I want to take their place and set foot on Proson's territory!"

Wang Zhong: "Don't worry, Comrade Sergeant, we will attack when the snow stops!"

"Isn't that February or March next year? Are we going to let them go for so long? Comrade Marshal, look at the front, there are no fortifications at all, and most of the defenders are old people, women and children!"

Vasily: "Well, old people and children can include women."

"I'm talking about young women. There's this one hanging around, this one!" The veteran gestured in front of him, "I led a reconnaissance team across the river to see at least one company of female soldiers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young soldier teased: "Why are you so surprised? We already have female snipers, female nurses and female pilots. They are normal!"

"That's different. The enemy didn't use women before. I said this to tell the marshal that the enemy is already very weak. Now giving it a fatal blow is the best choice!"

Wang Zhong: "I will consider your opinion."

"May Andrew bless you." said the old soldier.

The new soldiers under his command reminded him: "The Marshal is a living saint, and he has always been blessed by Andrew."

Old soldier: "Then bless him one more time!"

Wang Zhong retracted his gaze and stopped looking at the soldiers who were eager to fight. He continued to observe the enemy formation. Popov stepped forward and said: "Morale is very high. Even if we launch an attack immediately, we can rely on morale to force our way forward."

Wang Zhong: "But there will be a lot of casualties. However, it seems that attacking in advance will reduce the difficulty of breaking through. The old soldier's opinion is worth referring to. Let's go, walk along the river, maybe we can find the enemy's weaknesses like Kashukh."

After this incident, Kashukh has changed from a general who is good at using infantry to fight bad battles to a general who is good at using infantry to sneak attack the enemy's weaknesses.

So, Wang Zhong led a group of people and began to walk southeast along the river bank.

Yegorov: "What did you say? The division commander went to the river bank?"

The adjutant nodded: "Yes, the marshal went to the river with the bishop and his entourage."

Yegorov slapped his thigh: "How can this be done? I don't know where the Melania people on the east bank have gone. They are all Proson people who came to occupy! What if we encounter the enemy's People's Self-Defense Army?"

The chief of staff: "If you want to go to the river, just say it directly, no need to pretend."

"I am going to protect the division commander!" Yegorov stood up excitedly, "Come, bring a thread cutting machine."

The guard immediately brought the gun over.

Yegorov: "The guard company is ready. We are going to set out to protect the marshal. Don't be careless! Anyone who is drunk cannot participate in this operation. Let the priest put them in confinement-no, punish them to dig feces!"

The priest of the front army nodded: "Okay, I already know who drank tonight, and I will do it now."

At the same time, the whistle of the guard company's assembly came from outside.

Yegorov picked up the thread cutter, checked the condition of the gun skillfully, and loaded it.

Chief of Staff: "You look like a kid on a picnic."

"Really? Anyway, you have no reason to stop me this time. I'm going to protect the marshal!"

After saying that, Yegorov walked out. After a few steps, something suddenly slipped out of his pocket.

He stopped and stared at the thing on the ground: it was an old photo, which showed Yegorov's wife and children who were no longer there.

Yegorov cursed: "Didn't I throw this photo away?"

Adjutant: "Ms. Katya picked it up and asked me to put it in your military coat pocket."

Yegorov pulled out his pocket and found that there was a hole at the bottom. The photo slipped from the hole to the floor.

Yegorov picked up the photo, stared at the person inside, and suddenly rubbed his eyes.

"Damn it, Katya must want me to remember the hatred and kill all the enemy's children."

The bishop of the front immediately reminded: "This violates discipline, the marshal will be unhappy."

Yegorov was silent for a few seconds and shook his head: "Just kidding, I definitely can't do such a thing as killing children."

After that, he stuffed the photo into his pocket, picked up the thread cutting machine and went out.

The guard company outside has been assembled, and all the members are thread cutting machines.

"Get in the car!" Yegorov waved his hand and got on the jeep first. The car had already started. When the driver saw Yegorov, the adjutant and the guards coming up, he stepped on the accelerator.

As a result, a black cat suddenly jumped out in front.

The driver turned the steering wheel sharply, and the car hit the stump on the side of the road. The cat cried and left gracefully.

The adjutant looked at the cat: "General, this is not a good sign, so don't go?"

Yegorov: "It's just a change of car, stop talking nonsense."

A few minutes later, the guard company led by Yegorov set off.

Black Cat squatted on the top of the guard booth, looking at the departing convoy.

————

After leaving the headquarters, Yegorov and his party drove safely for five kilometers.

At this time, a barn appeared in front of them, and two ANT soldiers stood guard at the door.

Yegorov frowned: "Wait a minute, stop the car!"

The car stopped a hundred meters away from the barn. Yegorov took out the map he carried with him: "Why don't I remember that there are troops deployed here?"

Adjutant: "Maybe the quartermaster of a nearby unit has placed people here?"

Yegorov frowned: "Then such a barn, put two sentries? This is not like our way of deploying troops. Deploy battle formation."

The adjutant turned around and shouted to the soldiers of the guard company: "Deploy battle formation!"

The entire company immediately got off the car and deployed on both sides of the convoy.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Yegorov stood up, picked up the thread cutting machine, and jumped off the jeep.

"Forward!" After saying that, he walked forward in square steps with a gun in hand.

The adjutant followed immediately, and the two of them formed the arrowhead of the infantry wedge formation.

The two sentries at the door of the barn were obviously scared.

Yegorov unexpectedly shouted in Proson language: "Surrender your weapons and you will not be killed!"

The two guards actually raised their hands reflexively, and then reacted and seemed to be ready to open fire——

Yegorov fired first, and the bullets from the thread cutter tore the two men apart instantly.

"Asshole," he scolded, "I was too accurate. I should be left alive to ask where the uniforms came from!"

At this time, the barn door opened, and a large number of young people who were only sixteen or seventeen years old rushed out.

Yegorov knocked them all down without mercy, even the two tall girls.

After the thread cutter polished the magazine, Yegorov hid behind a tree and skillfully replaced the magazine.

During this process, the soldiers of the guard company smashed the barn into a sieve, and no living thing could survive.

Yegorov rushed into the barn with a fully loaded gun in his hands.

Then he suddenly saw a living enemy and immediately raised his gun and opened fire.

The moment he pulled the trigger, he saw clearly that it was a child who was probably only eight years old, so he raised the muzzle of the gun urgently. The bullet shattered the goggles on the child's head and blew away the military cap that was pressed by the goggles.

Blood immediately flowed down, covering half of the child's eyes.

The child was so frightened that the hand holding the MP40 froze in mid-air.

Yegorov raised his gun and smiled at the child: "Don't be afraid, are you okay?"

The child's whole body was shaking, as if he was suffering from malaria.

Yegorov observed him for a few seconds, put down his gun, turned to the outside and shouted: "Translator! The translator is not dead, is he? Come here quickly!"

At this time the child shouted, hysterically like a desperate wolf cub.

Yegorov: "Don't be afraid of the child——"

The MP40 rang, and a black cat rushed out of the diagonal stab, hitting the MP40's gun with its entire body.

The first bullet hit Yegorov's left shoulder, and all subsequent bullets floated to the ceiling.

The adjutant opened the barn door and fired immediately when he saw this. The bullet, like a threaded weight, immediately shattered the child's body.

Yegorov: "Asshole! He's still a child! Look, he can't even offset the recoil of the MP40!"

Adjutant: "You've been shot, General! What are you talking about!"

Yegorov: "The shoulder is not fatally injured!"

At this moment, a heavy object fell from the second floor and stuck on the floor.

He is an adult Prosin soldier, and his camouflage uniform indicates that he belongs to the field force of the Asgardian Knights.

Yegorov and the adjutant turned to look at the ceiling. It turned out that the kid brother had just lost control of the gun and hit the members of the armed knights who were hiding in the dark and preparing for a sneak attack.

Yegorov: "Oh my god, I think you may have a point. We should issue an order that as long as a child has a weapon, no matter how old he is, he should be treated as an enemy and fire first."

Yegorov said, touching his shoulder and looking at the blood on his hand: "Damn it, I can't charge towards the enemy now, why do I do it at this time?"

————

Wang Zhong was riding a jeep along the river.

The more he investigated, the more he felt that he should attack earlier.

The enemy is not well trained yet, and it may not be possible in half a year.

At this moment, Vasily suddenly frowned, pressed the radio's earphone, and picked up the microphone: "Say it again, I didn't hear you clearly just now."

Wang Zhong switched back to his physical perspective and looked at Vasily: "What's going on?"

Vasily: "Egorov encountered the remaining self-defense forces on his way to the rendezvous. He is currently in the field hospital."

Wang Zhong: "What? Where are they?"

"At his front military hospital, he is being rescued by Dr. Katya."

Wang Zhong: "Turn around and rush there immediately!"

————

It was already evening when Wang Zhong's motorcade arrived at the hospital.

He confirmed Yegorov's position from a bird's-eye view from two and a half kilometers away. At least he was still alive now.

The car drove into the hospital. Wang Zhong rushed out before the car stopped and trotted all the way to the operating room. He happened to see Dr. Katya lift the curtain and come out.

Wang Zhong: "Where is Yegorov?"

Katya: "The shoulder was shattered. Even if he recovers from his injuries, he will never be able to lift heavy objects with his right hand. He must leave the battlefield forever."

Yegorov's howl came from the room: "I still have my left hand! Sukabule, I still have my left hand!"

Wang Zhong: "Come on Yegorov, what can you do with your left hand, point at the moon?"

Oops, I accidentally made a joke that no one understands in this era. So far, I can only create the left hand crescent moon more than ninety years in advance.

"Point to the moon? What am I pointing to?"

Wang Zhong opened the door curtain and went in, looked at Yegorov on the hospital bed, and then found a black cat squatting on his bedside table.

"What's going on with this black cat?"

Yegorov: "He is my lifesaver. I gave him two cans of fish, and just now he helped me push the muzzle of the submachine gun away. Comrade Marshal, I think we should issue an order to remind the entire army not to attack children." Kind-hearted and soft-hearted.”

Wang Zhong: "... Such an order should be issued. Children holding firearms are as dangerous as adults."

Yegorov added: "I have been begging Katya for a long time, but she does not agree with me to continue to stay on the front line. Let my troops be handed over to the miners. He and we have both squatted in the same trench and will treat everyone well." "

Wang Zhong: "I know."

Yegorov: "Also, I think we should launch an attack in advance now. The enemy is weak. If you give the enemy more time, they may recover their morale, get more ammunition and equipment, and build more fortifications.

"Forget the siege, let's break through from the front. Even if Emperor Prosen runs away, their morale will be ruined, and the avalanche will come!"

In military terms, an avalanche refers to the chain effect of a breakdown in morale among troops.

Wang Zhong: "During my investigation, I also found that there seem to be many opportunities for attack now. We can first try to gather the troops that have completed the replenishment, form an assault group, and try to attack. Just like we did in September Melania did that.”

Yegorov sighed: "It's a pity, damn, I can't participate in this offensive. I fought the whole game, except for the final battle to liberate Prosonia..."

As he spoke, Yegorov took off his holster and handed it to Wang Zhong: "This is the holster I have always carried. It was given to me by my ex-wife. Every time I caress this holster, Katya's The expression will become - I don't know how to describe it, I am a rough person, so I give it to you, Comrade Marshal."

Wang Zhong solemnly holstered his gun and saluted Yegorov.

"Comrade Yegorov, your war is over, I order you to welcome a new life."

Yegorov returned the favor to Wang Zhong: "Comrade Marshal, promise to complete the mission."

Wang Zhong turned around and said to Vasily: "Immediately inform the general forward command and let Pavlov formulate a new combat plan and launch an attack with the elite assault group that has been renovated as a priority."

"If the attack goes well, we will end the war before Christmas, January 7."
