The enemy's artillery preparation continued until seven o'clock in the morning.
Unlike the previous artillery preparations, this time Wang Zhong and the others sat on chairs and endured the barrage.
After all, the bunker was well-constructed, posing little danger unless it was directly hit by heavy artillery.
A direct hit might also be harmless, considering the bunker was topped by an entire building reinforced with steel and concrete, having been converted from an original basement.
Wang Zhong looked out from the observation post. By now, the sun had risen, offering an unobstructed view of the entire west bank, where no figures could be spotted, with or without the help of cheats.
Vasily monopolized the artillery periscope and after a long watch commented, "It's so quiet, I can't hear any enemy tank engines at all."
Even Brother Peter had not heard the engine sounds, which meant the enemy was likely confounded by the counter-artillery preparation.
