The staff at the forward command post immediately rushed to the window and observed with binoculars.
What came wasn't just a No. 1 tank modified into an engineering vehicle for breaking through barriers, but also a range of other Prussian engineering vehicles.
It seemed that the commander of the sapper battalion was communicating with the commander of the reconnaissance unit that had already deployed outside the minefield.
Wang Zhong was just about to call for another artillery barrage when the gathered sapper battalion began to spread out, likely told by the armor reconnaissance commander that they could be targeted by artillery fire.
Although the enemy scattered, they clearly underestimated the caliber of the artillery barrage and didn't disperse enough—perhaps the Prussian Army's advance had been too smooth, making them careless.
