After a series of surrenders were finalized, on the evening of December 8, Wang Zhong finally returned to Headquarters.
Pavlov, who had arrived earlier, was standing at a desk piled with documents, seeming to stretch his limbs.
Wang Zhong asked, "What's this? Why are there so many more documents than usual?"
"The battle is over, and we are identifying corpses, confirming the list of the deceased, but the city is in such a state now, I estimate quite a number will have to be listed as 'missing'."
Wang Zhong said, "You should hand these over to your sixth bureau clerks. We need to pursue the fleeing Prosen heavy troop cluster, apparently called the Sheeplin cluster? We aim to crush the enemy's B Army Group with an overwhelming force, reclaim the land lost since June in recent years, and advance towards Shepetovka.
"This would further threaten the Prosens' A Army Group, and if things go well, we might even be able to return to Kazarlia!"
