After supper, Wang Zhong didn't know how many times he had glanced at the clock on the wall when he finally urged, "It's time; begin."
Pavlov was about to pick up the phone receiver when something suddenly occurred to him, and he turned his head toward the Front Army artillery commander, gesturing an invitation.
The major general in charge of artillery came to the phone, picked up the receiver, and took a deep breath: "This is Artillery Commander Andrew, connecting to the artillery headquarters."
A moment later, he looked at Wang Zhong with the receiver in his hand.
Wang Zhong said, "Begin, no need to ask for my permission any longer."
With that, Andrew loudly commanded, "This is Artillery Commander Andrew, fire! Repeat, fire!"
As he gave the order, Wang Zhong switched his perspective. Indeed, he was now directly commanding each artillery position, so he shared their view.
The roar of thousands of cannons firing simultaneously startled the sleeping birds of the night.
