Chapter 768 Friends From Afar
On November 21, the Ante Front Headquarters was 87 kilometers away from the center of Prosinia.
In front of the headquarters, Wang Zhong was about to climb onto the small jeep when he was grabbed by Pavlov.
"No, no, you and I will cross the river in the armored command vehicle of the headquarters! I have documents for you to approve on the way!"
Wang Zhong: "This... it won't be too late to talk about it when we get to the new headquarters, right?"
"These are all very critical documents, they must be approved immediately!" Pavlov said firmly, "Take the armored command vehicle!"
Wang Zhong: "You are obviously just afraid that I will run to the front line!"
"You are right! You must report to me if you want to take any means of transportation in the future!"
"Isn't this unreasonable?" Wang Zhong pointed to the marshal star on his shoulder, "I am a marshal, and I have to report to you, a general, when I take a means of transportation?"
Pavlov: "I got the handwritten order from Her Majesty the Tsar, and it was her order!"
"This order was clearly issued by you asking her!"
Pavlov: "In short, you just sit in the armored command vehicle and move forward honestly. Otherwise, I will oppose the headquarters moving forward so early.
"Originally, the headquarters of our level should not run too far ahead. If we keep running forward, it will force the headquarters of various fronts to keep running forward, which may cause more casualties of senior officers. "
Wang Zhong is now the commander-in-chief of the ANT Army. His headquarters is equivalent to the brain of the ANT troops on the entire Eastern Front. If you have to say it, it is indeed a bit sick to place a headquarters of this level less than 30 kilometers away from the front line.
But Wang Zhong did this to sneak to the front line for convenience. Of course, the public statement is to facilitate the handling of various emergencies.
Unable to persuade Pavlov, Wang Zhong could only get off the jeep and said to Vasily, the new adjutant who replaced him to engage in psychological warfare: "You stay in the car and let the car follow the armored command vehicle of the headquarters."
"Yes." The new adjutant saluted respectfully.
Pavlov was still worried and dragged Wang Zhong onto the armored command vehicle.
The command vehicle started quickly. Wang Zhong sat down at the desk and asked: "I see what documents you want me to review. "
Pavlov actually threw him a stack of documents.
Wang Zhong could only start reading from the first one.
This is a summary of the recent infiltration and attack results.
Wang Zhong: "Summary of the results of the operation...does this need to be summarized? Isn't the best summary that our headquarters has begun to move forward?"
"Do you want to say in the history of future wars that 'our headquarters has begun to move forward as a summary'?"
Wang Zhong could only start reading the report.
Since the beginning of the infiltration operation and psychological intimidation, the Ant Army has achieved fruitful results, eroding a large number of Proson's positions, and the vanguard of the troops has advanced to the outer satellite city of Prosonnia.
And unlike the previous prediction that the effect of psychological warfare would become weaker and weaker, the Proson army seemed to be shaken more and more, and the troops except the Asgard Knights basically collapsed at the touch of a button.
As expected, the Asgard Knights put up a resolute resistance.
But they will also be seriously shaken when facing "Rokosov".
It's a pity Vasily was afraid that he would make matters worse and expose the fake Rokosov to Prosin, so he didn't dare to let "Rokosov" rush into the defense zone of the Asgard Knights.
Half a month after the operation began, three areas defended by the Asgard Knights were surrounded and isolated, and the surrounded knights had about three regiments.
As the Ant Army advances towards Prosinia, such Asgard Knights will surely increase in number.
... Wang Zhong patiently read the report and signed his name at the end.
Pavlov: "When was the last time you read the battle report on the front line so carefully?"
Wang Zhong: "I trust your ability. And I am the last person in graduation, so it is not easy to interfere with the work of excellent subordinates."
Pavlov: "Come on. "
Wang Zhong picked up the second report - he was free anyway.
But he stopped when he saw the name of the report.
"War Preparations against the Fuso Empire"
Pavlov saw this and said, "It should be last night that the Seris delegation has arrived in Yebao. They will provide us with intelligence, ground guides and a series of support."
Wang Zhong: "Oh? How come I don't know?"
"You are busy flying your small plane to the front line to investigate the situation." Pavlov paused and added, "It is said that the Seris envoy hinted a few days ago that they are willing to send troops to participate in the landing operation on the mainland of the Fuso Empire."
Wang Zhong: "Show me the latest battle report from Seris."
Pavlov took out a report and threw it to Wang Zhong as if he had expected it.
Wang Zhong: "Don't you need my approval for this one?"
"Yes, because it is a summary of the battle situation in a war zone that has nothing to do with us, and it is also entered into the intelligence system file, so it does not require the signature of a military chief like you. "
Wang Zhong opened the file, and the first page was a diagram of the currently occupied and liberated areas.
"It seems that the area near the capital of Seris is all controlled."
"That is the guerrilla zone. The Fuso Empire has lost all the controlled areas outside the city. Although it has built artillery towers and blockades based on the railway, they have basically lost their function.
"According to the intelligence we have compiled, the expatriates and merchants of the Fuso Empire in these areas have to pay taxes to the guerrillas. You don't look surprised at all?"
Wang Zhong thought, right? I knew this before I traveled through time. I also knew that the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army sold anti-Japanese bonds to the puppet army.
If it hadn't been for the lack of attack capabilities and insufficient artillery and explosives, the New Fourth Army might have been able to liberate Jinling.
Faced with Pavlov's question, Wang Zhong directly ignored it: "If we provide cannons and machine guns to the Seris guerrillas, can they defeat the Fuso Empire troops like we defeated the Ploson Japs now?"
"How is that possible!" Pavlov shook his head, "They just retreated 2,400 kilometers!"
Wang Zhong thought for a few seconds and said, "I want to meet Siris' delegation, but I can't leave the front line. Can you let them fly to us?"
"Of course. All you have to do is give His Majesty the Tsar a call."
At this time, the armored command vehicle bumped hard.

Also on November 20th, the Western Front, the headquarters of the Third Army of the United States.
Admiral Littlejohn was losing his temper with his men.
"Did you know? On the western front, the Ants launched an attack half a month ago. Although the advance is not fast, they are indeed advancing. They are less than 60 kilometers away from Prosonia!
"And we are still more than a hundred kilometers away from our goal. We have been attacking for half a month, but we have made no progress! We were even pushed back to the starting position by Proson's armored forces!
"You always tell me that this is insufficient and that is insufficient, that supplies are insufficient, soldiers are insufficient, and morale is insufficient! But no matter how inadequate it is, can it be compared to Rokossov on the Eastern Front?"
Admiral Little John's communications officer said: "We are indeed short of supplies, and the Red Ball Express has indeed solved the emergency, but..."
"Enough!" The general slammed the table, "I can see that we only lack one thing, and that is the lack of offensive spirit! We have to attack and bring out the offensive spirit! Just like Pickett at Gettysburg That's it!"
The communications officer reminded: "Pickett's charge failed in the end."
"Even if it fails, it will be remembered for its aggressive and enterprising spirit!"
Communications Staff Officer: "No, at East Point Military Academy, this attack is used as a negative teaching material..."
"That's enough! Why was I so blind that I let a coward be my communications staff officer!"
The communications staff officer was still about to quibble, but suddenly a technical sergeant pushed open the door and whispered something into his ear.
Admiral Little John: "Don't let it be any damn bad news, right? As long as the Prosans don't drive us back again!"
"No, General, we received some strange signals. It seems that our army is conducting offensive operations, but they used radio call signs. We don't know which unit they are or where they are."
Admiral Little John stood up: "Is there such a thing? Then what are we still doing here? Go to the Radio Communication Center!"
As he spoke, the general rushed out of the office and came to the radio center next door.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
"I heard that some of our troops are behind the enemy's rear?"
The lieutenant on duty at the center replied: "Yes, General. We only know that there was a fighting near Clemente, and that a certain unit of our army was trying to cross the river."
At this time, the chief of staff of the group army said behind the general: "I checked the movement records. The 35th Division and 321st Division on the right wing have some abnormal movements. It may be that their troops have broken through the defense line. Do I need to contact the headquarters of these two divisions? "
"No, don't make any noise!" Admiral Little John grabbed the shoulder of the lieutenant on duty, "Did you just say Clement?"
"Yes General, but..."
Admiral Little John shook the lieutenant's shoulder violently: "That place is thirty miles behind the enemy's defense line!"
Lieutenant: "But... we don't know who they are, they use some call signs..."
Admiral Littlejohn: "What kind of call sign?"
"Similar to Bank, Kepp, Kaili, Da Qiao Xiao Qiao..."
At this time, a communications soldier shouted: "We received their signal again!"
General John Jr. immediately pushed aside the communications soldier, sat down in front of the radio himself, and operated the radio - he was originally a tank technical officer, and naturally he also learned radio-related knowledge.
Soon, the voice from the loudspeaker became clear.
"Ober, this is Kelly."
"Hey Kelly, how's it going over there?"
"There are no enemy troops here, Ober. How is the situation with the tanks?"
"We are the only one left, one of the other two is in the water, and the other is burning. Fire!"
The sound of tank gunfire and heavy machine gun fire came over the radio.
"Well, I can see the burning one."
"Kelly, where's Big Joe? How's the situation?"
"He's on the other side of the river, shut up and I'll ask him. Big Joe, Big Joe, Kelly calls."
Admiral Little John looked at a large group of officers beside him: "Do you have any impression of these call signs?"
Everyone shook their heads.
At this time, a new voice came from the radio: "Kelly, this is Kepp, what's the situation now?"
"That's what happened when we were bombed."
"Listen Kairi, we're going to do something!"
At this time, the voice of the armored commander code-named Ober may have just interrupted: "Fire!"
The sound of tank guns firing again.
Then, perhaps due to ionospheric interference, the sound became unclear again. Admiral Little John quickly adjusted the radio, imitating the voice of the armored commander just now and shouting "Fire!"
After a few minutes, a clear voice came out of the loudspeaker again: "Kelly, the bridge is not completed yet, our trucks can't pass, it will take me five hours to complete the bridge! Can you hold on to the other side for five hours?"
Admiral Little John was anxious when he heard it: "No, no, advance! Go forward! Stopping will give the enemy a chance to breathe!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of "Kelly" came from the radio: "No, Bellamy, we will continue to attack, and we won't wait for a minute."
Admiral Little John: "Yes! That's it That's it! This is the offensive spirit I admire! Attack, attack, and attack again! "
The conversation in the loudspeaker continued: "No, Kelly, we are in the same boat, don't think of abandoning us!"
General John Jr. was even happier: "Yes, yes! That's the spirit! This is the soul of the United States Army!"
The "Kelly" replied: "Then you try your best to catch up."
Another new voice joined the conversation: "This is the grave digging team, we will cross the river immediately!"
General John Jr. was so excited that he couldn't be more excited: "They are also bringing the grave digging team! I don't know who this code-named Kelly is. If he is a major, I will promote him to colonel now! I will immediately put all the reserves into this breakthrough! Tear the enemy's defense line completely apart!
"Forward!"
He stood up and opened his arms.

On November 23, the Ante Front Headquarters was 72 kilometers away from the center of Prosonia.
Wang Zhong looked at the latest Allied Western Front situation report.
"The Third Army broke through the Prosonia Line and liberated... Clement? This place name sounds familiar. "Wang Zhong muttered, "Is there a bank there?"
Pavlov: "The Allies have also made a breakthrough. Should we also move all the way?"
Wang Zhong thought about it and nodded: "Let's move. If we encounter the Asgard Knights who are firmly resisting, we will bypass them. The remaining Proson troops are now very weak.
"Our goal is to occupy the entire territory of Proson as completely as possible-it may not be possible to occupy the southwest corner of Proson now, but other areas should still be occupied as much as possible."
Pavlov: "If we successfully capture Emperor Proson, there will be a race between us and the Allies to occupy the entire Proson. I think, should we postpone the attack on Prosonnia first, let the Proson army beat the Allies, and ensure that they are unable to compete with us for territory..."
Wang Zhong: "No, what's the difference between us and Leonard? And in my opinion..."
At this time, Wang Zhong's new adjutant entered the room and reported loudly: "Marshal, a plane of the Seris delegation has just landed, and they are on their way!"
