Cannon Fire Arc

Chapter 933: Chapter 37 Inclined to go to Tiger Mountain

Wang Zhong finally arrived at the banks of the Oder River.

After lifting his binoculars, he switched to a bird’s-eye view to observe the gray-black earth in the depths of winter.

Wang Zhong: “What’s going on, there are fewer fortifications than I imagined.”

Popov gave a thumbs-up and pointed behind him: “Because the enemy originally planned to fortify the Vistula River, but we inexplicably attacked. All the fortifications were left behind.”

“So, the enemy hasn’t had time to build solid concrete fortifications yet?”

“Yes, they mobilized the People’s Self-Defense Army, digging trenches day and night, but ultimately the Self-Defense Army lacks training, and many of their sergeants don’t have much combat experience either, so the trenches are being dug slowly and clumsily.”

Wang Zhong once again observed the enemy’s position from a bird’s-eye view. The trenches were indeed few and clumsily constructed, with insufficient depth in many places and barely wide enough for a person to walk through. The trench walls had not been reinforced…

It wouldn’t take long for artillery bombardment to turn these trenches into chaos.

Popov continued: “However, this is the enemy’s capital after all, and with frequent air raids from the Allies, they constructed many anti-aircraft fortifications, which can also be used for ground defense.”

Wang Zhong recalled that the Sturmtiger had constructed the famous anti-aircraft towers near the capital, and it seemed that the Allied engineers couldn’t blow them up even with ten tons of TNT after the war.

When he saw this historical record, Wang Zhong immediately remembered a joke: “How sturdy is this burglar door?” “You can’t blow it open with three tons of explosives!” “But three tons of explosives can send my house into the sky!” “After the house is sent skyward, the door—stands unshaken!”

Vasily took out photos from his body, flipped through them, and quickly found the photo of the anti-aircraft towers and handed it to Wang Zhong: “Look, it’s these things.”

Wang Zhong examined the photo closely and asked, “Were they bombed with something?”

Popov: “We used Pe-8 bombers to drop a three-ton super bomb. The bomb landed beside the fortress, and it didn’t budge the fortress at all—though the overpressure seemed to have killed quite a few people inside, subsequent photos captured the Prosen people carrying corpses out of it.”

Wang Zhong: “Overpressure can kill people inside, so can napalm and flamethrowers.”

Vasily: “Gas can too.”

Wang Zhong: “No! When I was in Thebes, I advised the President not to use nuclear bombs because we couldn’t let these culprits pose as victims after the war.

“So we won’t use any inhumane weapons against the enemy, including gas.”

In fact, Earth Dezi once tried to use the Dresden bombing to pose as a victim, but it failed.

Wang Zhong didn’t intend to give these guys any avenue to pose as victims.

So gas is out.

But white phosphorus shells are in!

If cloud bombs are developed, they could be used too!

Wang Zhong: “Prepare more white phosphorus shells, these things might not take down the Urban mega cannon. If it doesn’t work, we’ll surround them and pile up fuel around to suffocate them.”

“Understood!” Vasily dutifully took notes, “But don’t worry too much about these fortresses, because there are only a few, half of which are on the west and south.”

Wang Zhong: “How are the preparations for encircling Plowsonia going?”

Popov: “We plan to launch from further south of the Oder River basin, so we won’t need to cross the river. This will be a 200-kilometer advance, a major encirclement. Damn, I’m a priest, why am I explaining the attack plan!”

Wang Zhong: “You’re the third in command; how can you not be familiar with the attack plan.”

Vasily: “Uh, I think it’s better not to be so familiar with it, Marshal. Your preference for charging ahead increases the chance of dying, don’t take Pavlov along.”

Wang Zhong looked at Vasily: “You kid…”

Vasily showed a proud smile: “Now that I hold an important position, I can handle half of your daily duties. Do you still want to send me to clean toilets?”

Wang Zhong: “You rascal!”

Vasily: “I’m also proficient in Prosenese, I can be an interpreter.”

Popov sighed: “Look at you strutting.”

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

Just then, Ante soldiers hiding in nearby trenches shouted to Wang Zhong: “Marshal! When will you let us march into their territory?”

Wang Zhong looked towards the person shouting and saw a weather-beaten face. Upon seeing the medals, he found that this soldier had already earned a Venus star.

A veteran.

Wang Zhong: “Did you have relatives killed under the enemy’s iron heel?”

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

“But Marshal, my combat group has lost a full 70 young men! 70 of them! I want to take their place and step onto Prosen soil!”

Wang Zhong: “Rest assured, Master Sergeant comrade, we will attack once the snow stops!”

“Won’t that be until February or March next year? Are we going to let them be for so long? Marshal comrade, look at the opposition, there are no fortifications, and most of the garrison are the old, women, and children!”

Vasily: “Uh, old people and children can include women.”

“I’m talking about young women of prime age, with this swaying around, like this!” The veteran gestured in front of him, “I led a reconnaissance team across the river to see, at least a company of female soldiers!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a young warrior teased: “Why are you startled, we already have female snipers, female nurses, and female pilots on this side, it’s totally normal!”

“It’s different; the enemy didn’t use women before, I’m saying this to tell the Marshal, the enemy is already very weak, giving it a fatal blow now is the best choice!”
