Cannon Fire Arc

Wang Zhong arrived in an alternate world and became embroiled in this world's global war. What he gained was a cheat, akin to a real-time strategy game's overhead perspective, and he could even see through the eyes of his subordinates' units! So, he decisively started micro-managing, "Shift the machine gun position five centimeters to the left! Place the anti-tank cannon in the forest on the right!" Three years passed in this manner, and Wang Zhong looked at the marshal's baton in his hand, then at the double-headed eagle flag behind the emperor's envoy. "In my hometown, there's an old saying, 'Princes and generals, are they not sprung from the masses?' Envoy, do you know of it?"

Chapter 41 Flaming Sky

```

While Wang Zhong commanded Tank 422 to move towards the village, the combat engineer squad had just cleared a house with a flamethrower.

Wang Zhong, while playing Company of Heroes 2, liked to use flamethrowers, yet the game's flamethrowers, although powerful, were not invincible.

The Company of Heroes series of games featured a retreat mechanism: Press the T key, and your troops would sprint away (the latest third installment seemed to have changed the key). If confronted with a flamethrower, pressing T fast enough could save the burning troops and allow them to retreat back to base engulfed in flames.

But reality was not so forgiving; in real life, those hit by a flamethrower would lose their combat effectiveness instantly, left to roll on the ground unable to do anything else.

Only those with extremely tenacious willpower could continue to fight while engulfed in flames.
