Chapter 919 -30 The Dull Spear_2

Wang Zhong: “What? Is there an artillery preparation?”

“I… I’m not sure, there was a preparation for half an hour one and a half hours ago, but… there’s been such a long gap between the infantry attack and the artillery preparation that the effect of the artillery preparation has long since passed. Furthermore, the enemy doesn’t have an advancing barrage for cover, I suspect deception, Marshal!”

Wang Zhong quickly switched the perspective to the south of the city, because he was on the phone, he could now get the view from the defense forces in this area.

The enemy’s skirmish line looked very unprofessional, too dense, only when filming a movie, to have more people in the shot simultaneously, to make the scene grander, would there be such a dense “skirmish” line.

Wang Zhong took a closer look at the Prosens that made up the “skirmish” line and found that most of them were very young.

It’s a pity his cheat couldn’t directly display age, otherwise, he always felt he’d see a bunch of youngsters not even 18.

The Prosens had no more soldiers to fight, this wasn’t a joke, it was reality.

Their war potential was exhausted! With what are you going to resist my battle-hardened soldiers?

Wang Zhong: “Don’t be afraid, maybe the quality of the enemy infantry has declined, and they can’t launch the tight infantry attacks like before. Strike them hard, Davarish.”

“Yes!”

Wang Zhong put down the receiver, using the last remaining vision, watching the machine guns of the defending forces reap through the incoming dense “skirmish” line.

If the enemy had attacked on the 9th, Wang Zhong’s side might have struggled due to a lack of bullets.

But it’s already the 11th, rifle and submachine gun bullets might be short, but machine gun bullets which were prioritized, couldn’t possibly be in short supply.

Wang Zhong watched the scene of machine gun fire, finally easing his mind.

After the view disappeared, he switched back to Headquarters and said to Vasily: “Organize the defense, gather the ammo, well done, Comrade Vasily, this time I’ll recommend a Venus for you!”

Vasily’s mouth couldn’t close: “I get a Venus too? Hurry up and issue it to me, I want to show off to Filippov.”

Wang Zhong looked at his cheeky grin and scolded: “Now I don’t want to give it to you! Think about it, you just did what a Deputy Officer is supposed to do, no Venus for you!”

“Don’t be like that!” Vasily was really anxious, “The Prosens are about to lose, it’s the last train! Issue one to me, I’ll do anything, at most I won’t boast to Filippov who’s always charging on the front line, I’ll boast to my wife at home, alright? If you don’t give it to me, after the war, when people ask me: ‘Vasily, you’ve been the Marshal’s Deputy Officer for so long, how come you didn’t even get a Venus?’ how embarrassing would that be!”

Wang Zhong: “You… Let me think about it, perform well! Take advantage before Pavlov comes up.”

“Yes!”

Filippov was patrolling his allocated defense position, when suddenly a Jeep drove up, and the messenger on it shouted: “Is it Lieutenant Colonel Filippov?”

Filippov: “I’m Major Filippov, you’ve got the wrong person.”

“No mistake, you are now a Lieutenant Colonel, and you’re ordered to lead the 1st Regiment of the 8th Guards Infantry Division, congratulations on your promotion, Comrade Regiment Commander.”

Filippov: “I… only had 45 days of crash course officer training, theoretically, I should only be commanding a battalion.”

The messenger: “You are already the officer with the highest command ability and rank in your regiment, good luck, Comrade Regiment Commander.”

With that, he saluted, and drove away in the Jeep.

Filippov scratched his head, and turned around to meet Misha’s gaze, who was accompanying him on the patrol.

Misha: “Don’t worry, our regiment now hardly holds a battalion’s strength.”

Many people laughed when they heard that, and comforted Filippov: “Yeah, you’re still commanding a battalion, but you’ve been promoted.”

“Right, right, you’ll definitely be a competent commander as a battalion commander!”

“Isn’t our regiment just left with you as an officer, then don’t you get to decide who gets awarded a Venus? Give each of the brothers one!”

A true warrior dares to face Hell jokes head on, and laughs out loud.

At this moment, a series of three Jeeps drove over, screeched to a halt in front of Filippov.

Then General Yegorov jumped out of the car: “Is this our defense zone?”

Filippov: “What brings you here?”

“Can the Division Commander charge in a tank personally? Why can’t I come? I only came after arranging everything and making sure it was proper! Without proper arrangements, the Division Commander would scold me.” Yegorov patted Filippov on the shoulder, “Don’t worry, I won’t take your uniform.”

Filippov: “Don’t say that, the guerrilla is inexperienced, they just liberated the whole city and gave out all the guns from the arsenal, there are many bad elements in the city with weapons. It’s very dangerous for you to bring so few people!”

Yegorov: “Hmph! Mere bad elements, if I encounter them, I’ll lead this small group and personally crush them, kill them all! Back in Ronied, when the Division Commander ordered a bayonet charge, I charged without a word and scattered the Prosen Army at its peak. Why would I be afraid of a few bad elements?”

Filippov: “This…”

“You don’t understand, we who follow the Division Commander, bullets dodge us. Look at the Division Commander’s tank, the Prosens now have things that can pierce it, yet it returned unscathed? Even Podoliskov, who was manning the anti-aircraft machine gun outside, didn’t have a scratch on him, not even a bruise!”

With that, Yegorov patted Filippov’s shoulder.

“Rest assured.”

Filippov sighed and changed the topic: “Where are you going? The Marshal’s Headquarters is in the Headquarters of the occupying Prosen Army in Melania.”

“No, no, no,” Yegorov waved his hands repeatedly, “I’m not going to the Headquarters, I’ll get scolded by the Division Commander. I want to patrol around, see who among you needs help, and address your problems directly. When the enemy counterattacks and breaks into the city, I’ll personally command a machine gun to block them!”
