When Wang Zhong entered the sanctuary, his hair was still dripping with water.

When Su Fang saw him coming in, she opened her mouth to speak. Suddenly she remembered that she was on the communication line, and then she winked at the female teacher next to her.

Wang Zhong was very surprised: "What do you mean? She can't speak now?"

The female Skitarii explained: "She is now in sync with the hymn monks over there in the capital, and the people on the other side of where she speaks will say the same thing, and vice versa."

Wang Zhong nodded and asked, "What did she say just now?"

Another skitarii came to Wang Zhong with a notebook.

The notebook reads: "Princess Olga Nikolayevna Antonovna asked General Rokossov whether his troops needed help and what kind of help they needed."

Wang Zhong turned and looked at Pavlov.

He decided to first ask when this support would arrive.

It will arrive tomorrow and it will work!
Wang Zhong: "Your Royal Highness, we urgently need air force support now. I have air force support in Loktov and Upper Penier. I need MiG 3 to attack the enemy's high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, and I need Il 2 to clear the ground of enemies.

Wang Zhong: "These are the most urgent things at the moment! There are two armored divisions in front of me, two! And we have just been bombarded by 21CM heavy artillery. This is the enemy's army-level heavy artillery. Tomorrow we may face the main force of the enemy's army. !”

Look, Wang Zhong thought, it is indeed impossible to send them immediately. It will be the day after tomorrow when these 30 T34s arrive in Shepetovka.

When Wang Zhong made up his mind, the response from the other side also came. Su Fang said: "Your Majesty General, considering the current battlefield situation, we can only send reinforcements to Shepetovka first, and then send reinforcements to Mei Shijin." The prince organizes transportation. If we leave now, we can reach Shepetovka in the early morning of tomorrow.”

After Wang Zhong finished speaking, Su Fang almost finished reciting, and the entire sanctuary became quiet again.

Su Fang: "Is this all you need?"

While waiting, Wang Zhong gradually came up with an idea of ​​what kind of reinforcements he should want - there is a kind of reinforcement that can ignore the situation on the battlefield, arrive in Aolaqi tomorrow, and play a role.

In other words, it will arrive the day after tomorrow no matter what - after all, even Her Royal Highness the Princess cannot get what Wang Zhong needs immediately and assemble the train immediately. After arranging the train, it will take time to load the train and so on.

It can be expected that in this situation, it will take a lot of effort to send reinforcements to Aoraki.

Wang Zhong is just bragging. He first exaggerates the situation into a dangerous situation, and then he can easily take advantage of it.

"I hope they will appear over Aorachi tomorrow! In addition, I also need reconnaissance planes to detect enemy artillery positions!"

Wang Zhong gave Pavlov a signal: "I need the following supplies!"

Su Fang immediately repeated Wang Zhong's words, like a parrot.

This time the response came quickly.

When he said this, Pavlov and Popov both stared wide-eyed, because there was no reconnaissance report indicating that they would be attacked by the main force of the army tomorrow.

This time the reply came quickly: "I understand, I will make a request to the Air Force immediately. I guarantee that our military planes will cover you tomorrow. Do you have any other requirements?"

Then she fell silent, obviously the other side was also debating how to answer.

Just as Wang Zhong was about to speak, Su Fang added: "In addition, I have cut off the 30 T34s that were just produced from the factory and are arranging the trains. They will probably be able to leave tomorrow."

Sure enough, what I should ask for most now is the kind of reinforcements I just thought of!

Even if the princess wants to send two hundred T34s, it will take time - and the enemy's air force will also intercept them on the way.

Wang Zhong: "Your Royal Highness, how long will it take for our reinforcements to arrive?"

Pavlov took out his notebook and began to read.

Su Fang reread it, but she suddenly stopped halfway through.

Wang Zhong hurriedly urged: "Keep reading!"

"It's broken." Su Fang replied, "It's been too long."

Wang Zhong: "Can such a connection still be established?"

Popov answered on behalf of Su Fang: "This requires a lot of resources to hold mass, and we can't do it now."

Su Fang added: "Besides, I just did such a synchronous communication, I guess I won't be able to sing poems for a while."

As she spoke, she let out a long yawn, and her fatigue was visible to the naked eye.

It was obvious that this connection was very draining on her spirit.

These supernatural things in this world are all in a state of being useful, but they don't seem to be "that" useful.

Is the divine arrow powerful? It's powerful, but when hitting ground targets, people will be blinded by using smoke to block it. When hitting aerial targets, the enemy can still escape by flying at ultra-low altitude. After all, everyone except Ekaterina needs to establish continuous visual contact.

Are Brother Peter's ears strong? That's awesome, but that's it.

The same is true for Su Fang's communication. Is it great? It must be powerful. The small force without Su Fang and Wang Zhong in Haupenier has been wiped out.

But the last time we were able to get a KV, it was because Wang Zhong's brother worked as a staff officer at the front army headquarters.

And this method of communication still has so many limitations.

In this situation, we can't expect more. Wang Zhong nodded to Su Fang: "Have a good rest, you have been a big help."

Su Fang smiled and looked very happy. Nellie stared at her, like a cat that noticed a threat, raised its hair and hissed threateningly.

Wang Zhong ignored this small Shura field and turned around and said to Pavlov: "As long as His Highness can bring the air force here, tomorrow will be much easier. Just driving away the enemy's reconnaissance planes will be a big help."

Pavlov smiled and said: "Of course. But I'm really worried that the lie you just told will come true. Tomorrow we will directly face the main force of the Second Armored Group. Even with the air force, it will probably be very difficult to fight."

Wang Zhong waved his hand: "It's okay, Duke Meishkin fought well! He will attract the main force of the enemy's Second Armored Group!"

Pavlov nodded: "Yes, thanks to Duke Myshkin, I want to drink to the Duke's health."

"Something good happened, let's have a sip." Wang Zhong turned to Neli, "How about a sip today?"

Nellie: "Drinking a little will help you sleep, I'm fine with that."

Wang Zhong laughed, and it seemed that he was really happy. After all, he might receive air force support tomorrow.

He hugged Nellie and rubbed her head vigorously.

Nellie stepped back in horror, grabbing her boat-shaped hat that was rubbed to the side with her hands.

But Wang Zhong turned directly to talk to Pavlov.

"We are going to attack Aorach with all our strength." General Heinz Wilhelm von Moltke said to the division commanders, "Leave two panzergrenadier divisions to contain the heavy force group in Shepetovka. They are mainly Infantry, lacking the ability to advance in the open field."

The cluster chief of staff added: "Aerial reconnaissance shows that they still have a tank corps mobile force, but it can be dealt with by bombers and 88-guns."

General Moltke: "Thank you for your addition. Tomorrow we will put in the current Amphula Division and the remaining troops of the 23th Army, as well as the 12rd Army and th Army.

“Whether we capture Orachi or not, the main force of the cluster will move south beyond Orachi.

"His Majesty the Emperor's 'good idea' has greatly delayed our rush to the enemy's capital. We can't waste any more time. Being blocked by the enemy here for two days is already too long for us! Too long!"

At this time, the communications staff entered the conference room. After saluting, he reported: "The artillery brigade reinforced for the Amphula Division was hit by enemy fire and lost two 21CM heavy artillery and one 1CM heavy artillery. Several other personnel were lost and are currently being transferred. position."

General Moltke: "What's going on? Does the enemy conduct aerial reconnaissance? How could the artillery position be discovered?"

"The artillery brigade deployed on the side of the road, and the Ant Army used Xu Jin barrage to cover the entire road. The other 23 units were also shelled by the enemy on the way."

General Mao Qi frowned: "What happened! What's the loss?"

"Slightly, because it was Xu Jin's barrage and did not repeatedly bombard the same section of the marching column, and there was time to disperse to avoid the artillery fire. However, the launch of the 23-pack report in Aolachi will be later than scheduled."

General Moltke scolded: "No! Let them launch according to the original time! When I made the plan, I left redundancy to deal with this kind of thing! We will surround Orachi tomorrow morning! This small group of enemies must be To completely destroy the army is like smashing a walnut with a hammer!”

After a brief pause, he added: "Don't be afraid of enemy shelling! Keep moving forward on the road. As long as we are fast enough, the enemy will not be able to cause enough losses to us!"

----

At 8 hours on August 5, in Orachi City.

Although Wang Zhong drank some wine yesterday, his biological clock still made him wake up at this time.

I don't know if it was because of drinking or because he felt relieved because of the air force support. Anyway, Wang Zhong slept very well last night. When he opened his eyes, he felt that he had never been more energetic than now.

He had just put on his clothes and was about to call Nellie when the roar of shells piercing the air came.

Wang Zhong lay on the ground without saying a word, and the next moment a dense rain of bullets fell in the city.

"Damn!" Wang Zhong shouted, "Didn't we hit the enemy's artillery position yesterday? Why are there so many heavy artillery?"

Of course because it was an artillery brigade.

The bombardment lasted about an hour.

When the explosion subsided, Wang Zhong stood up, and Nellie opened the door and came in at this time: "Are you okay?"

"Why do you still hope that something will happen to me?" Wang Zhong said, casually putting on his shoes and leaving the bedroom with a quick stride.

Nellie: "Don't you want to have breakfast?"

Wang Zhong: "If we fire so early, something must have happened."

With that said, he rushed to the first floor and broke into the map room.

Pavlov held the phone with a serious face: "How many troops? How many troops did you see?"

Wang Zhong grabbed the receiver and said, "I'm Rokossov. What did you see?"

While he was asking, he had already switched to a bird's-eye view, and then discovered that the view over Hill 153 was bright. It seemed that the other end of the phone was the artillery observation post on Hill 153.

He immediately checked the situation and was stunned.

It's not that his own vision can't highlight the enemies, but now the number of enemies is so large that he can see the huge number of enemies without highlighting.

A "giant wave" composed of enemy armor and skirmishers is rushing toward Highland 153.

The other side of the phone was shouting: "I am the 153 Highland Observation Post. A huge number of enemies are coming towards me! A huge number of enemies! Please fire immediately! Please fire immediately!"
