He turned his head and asked Yegorov, "If we retreat now, how will military history record us?"
"Those professors, those clueless donkeys who don't know what a battlefield is like, and those self-serving public intellectuals will say the Third Rear Amur Group and the 31st Tank Regiment of the Fourth Tank Army were all cowards."
"They won't treat the dead separately from us!"
"We're going to hold out here until eight o'clock tomorrow night! Yes, our forces are insufficient, but we can come up with solutions, landmines, explosives, anything we can use!"
Yegorov: "But we have none. We didn't find any defensive supplies at the enemy's logistic base. They don't think they need to defend."
Wang Zhong pursed his lips, watching more and more bodies pile up in front of him; residents were bringing all the fallen soldiers of the Ante Army to the church.
He sighed, "We could try requesting reinforcements. Isn't there a telegraph office here?"
