It was not until noon that the armored train was fully prepared.
Wang Zhong looked at his watch and said to Pavlov, "From five in the morning until now, it took a full eight hours for you to get ready!"
Pavlov: "Combining so many carriages and piling sandbags on top, installing machine guns, and allocating ammunition... finishing all that in eight hours is quite good."
Wang Zhong stood up: "Alright, I'll go check out my little train."
Just as he was about to leave the room, Pavlov stopped him, "Wait a minute, this operation needs a name, otherwise I can't even log it in the diary."
Wang Zhong was taken aback.
Defense operations did not require creative plan names—just a series of contingency codes was enough. Offensive plans actually needed names.
Wang Zhong thought of many clever operation names in an instant, such as "Charlie Don't Surf," a name first used by the American military in Vietnam, before they got a wallop.
