Jules Year 914, July 5th morning.
Wang Zhong had already taken his position at his "wartime command post": actually, it was the office building of a fertilizer plant. This reinforced concrete building was quite sturdy, suitable as a front-line command post and could also serve as a defensive position.
More importantly, the fertilizer plant already had a telephone, which greatly reduced the workload of the communications company.
The brigade command post was manned by Pavlov, and the radio was with the brigade HQ as well.
Pavlov was strongly against Wang Zhong's practice of going to the front himself, but he was ignored.
Yegorov actually liked this: "This was supposed to be my wartime command post. If you want to use it, I'll let you have it, and I'll go down to the troops!"
Wang Zhong: "You can go, but make sure to stay within the reach of the telephone."
Yegorov sighed, "Then I might as well not go anywhere."
