The enemy conducted several more rounds of salvo fire before they started to advance.
Pavlov picked up the phone and then reported to Wang Zhong, "In addition to attacking the windows on the second and third floors, the enemy also targeted the shelters we used this morning to fire upon their scouting team—of course, those shelters are now empty.
"Three machine gun teams were caught by the enemy. We managed to salvage one machine gun, but lost ten men with more than ten wounded."
Wang Zhong, "That's acceptable, we'll make the enemy pay in blood."
Vasily, "Would our losses be greater if the enemy stayed put and shot at all our windows one by one?"
Wang Zhong, "The Panzer IV's short 75 at this distance is not that accurate. Haven't you noticed that their main forces are mostly using the short 50 guns? The high-explosive shells from those aren't that powerful.
