Cannon Fire Arc-Chapter 884 - 17 Disasters Never Come Alone (6K)

August 3rd, 5 PM Melania Standard Time, an hour ahead of Norman Duchy time.

First Front Army Headquarters in Kazarlia.

Wang Zhong saw Amelia entering with the liaison officer and telegrapher and roughly guessed what was happening. He said, "Landing?"

"Yes." Amelia's mouth curled up to her ears, "Now on the continent of Europa, it's no longer just you resisting Prosen."

Wang Zhong: "Don't make it sound like I'm the only one resisting Prosen. There are ten generals and three marshals commanding troops on the frontline."

Vasily: "In this room, there are two generals and one marshal."

"I'm just fortunate; everyone knows most of my duties are taken over by a marshal." Popov shrugged, "My daily work is just managing the drinking issues in the troops and admonishing the overconfident Quick Victory Faction."

Everyone laughed, Pavlov reached out to the liaison officer: "Give me the telegram, we've prepared the map, let's see how to plot it."

In the corner of the room, a small blackboard already had a map of the Carolingian area hung up.

While Pavlov was reading the telegram, Amelia asked, "How is your progress?"

Wang Zhong shrugged: "The enemy has deployed many experienced combat units, nourished and well-fed on the Western Front, causing us a lot of trouble, but we are still advancing.

"Do you see that gap next to the Baltic Sea? We estimate two million enemy forces are flooding through this gap, with tens of thousands of enemies running through it every day."

Amelia cheered: "So as long as we block the gap, the enemy will have nowhere to go, right?"

Wang Zhong: "Yes, the only issue is, this gap is seventy kilometers wide."

Amelia: "You mean, after a swift advance of 400 kilometers, the last seventy kilometers has stumped you?"

Wang Zhong: "Not at all, the speed of advancement is only slightly slower than expected, eventually more than a million Prosen soldiers will be surrounded and annihilated, while other routed soldiers will retreat to the fortified area near Kebao.

"They will form a very tough heavy troop cluster here, but we don't need to engage them heavily, because they barely have any tanks or heavy equipment left to threaten our main transport arteries, we can partially encircle them and focus our efforts on advancing towards Plowsonia."

Vasily continued to explain: "Because there are no heavy factories producing tanks near Kebao, even if there were, there aren't enough raw materials to supply them. We've bombed Kebao's port, severely damaging its throughput capacity."

Wang Zhong: "In short, disregarding the Allied Forces' constant urging for us to rescue the uprising Melania Resistance Organization, everything is going smoothly on our side."

"And the Allied Forces on the Western Front are also progressing well," Pavlov said, "At least the telegram reads like everything is going smoothly, the United Kingdom Army is progressing well, the United States Army's progress is slower but they have secured their footing. The United Kingdom Army's Armored Division has also successfully landed."

Wang Zhong: "What about Prosen's Armored Division? Have we found any new Armored Division designation directly opposing us?"

"No." Pavlov shrugged, "The Armored Division we encounter are still the familiar faces, and many have been reduced to just a few tanks remaining, the Western Front's Armored Division hasn't been redeployed over here."

Wang Zhong: "Then as long as the Armored Division launches an attack, it's still possible for the Allied Forces to be pushed back into the sea, right?"

Amelia: "Yes, we believe the greatest threat is the 21st Armored Division, its deployment is too close to our landing zone."

Wang Zhong looked at his watch: "Oh, then it should have already started attacking the landing zone, today there's not much daylight left, if they don't attack soon it will be too late."

Vasily: "Maybe this Armored Division is equipped with the night vision equipment we've encountered! So they'll attack at night!"

Wang Zhong: "If there were such equipment, it'd definitely be prioritized on the Eastern Front, no, I guess the 21st Armored Division doesn't have night combat capabilities. They are either charging the beachhead now or idling with the task."

The commander of the 21st Armored Division put down his binoculars, ordering: "Artillery preparation."

Chief of Staff: "They're only paratroopers!"

"But they have bazookas, you saw the remains of the motorized reconnaissance battalion."

Within the sight of the 21st Armored Division commander, all were burning wreckages, the reconnaissance battalion suffered heavy losses trying to attack the town held by the paratroopers.

Chief of Staff: "Paratroopers can't possibly carry too many rocket launchers, maybe they've already used up those anti-tank weapons resisting the motorized reconnaissance battalion attack!"

"Artillery preparation! We'll launch the attack in half an hour!"

Captain Evans asked the deputy battalion commander beside him, confused: "Why doesn't the enemy attack? We've exhausted all our rocket launchers, if they invade, we can only use incendiary bottles and socks filled with TNT to deal with the tanks."

Deputy battalion commander: "How would I know?"

At this moment, the sound of shells whistling through the air came from the sky.

Evans had just ducked down when the ground started shaking.

The deputy battalion commander shouted: "Damn, this is at least 105mm! It's definitely the division's supporting firepower!"

No sooner had he spoken than a corner of the house they were in collapsed.

A rookie soldier stood up to run outside, but Evans grabbed him: "Are you crazy? If I were you, I'd rather be buried than go outside!"

Clearly, being buried might still hold hope, catching a shell definitely didn't.

At this point, all the soldiers in the town were running around, veterans and officers were desperately trying to stabilize the new recruits: "Stay down, don't run around! Running around only gets you killed!"
