Chapter 1229: Attack Again
The Li-2 transport aircraft was a type of transport aircraft widely used by the Soviet Red Army during World War II. This treasure has a wide range of uses and can be called all-round. In addition to being able to do conventional cargo work, it can also airdrop paratroopers. With a few rows of seats installed, it can be a transport aircraft. The Red Army even used it to hang iron bombs and aerial rockets as a ground attack aircraft. It is a rare all-round capable aircraft.
But there is a saying that it is better to be specialized than to be all-round.
The Li-2 transport aircraft, which can do everything, at least did not perform well when it was a guest passenger aircraft. The roaring engine noise outside the cabin penetrated the thin skin of the fuselage, which was simply numb to the ears.
Not to mention the noise pollution, the physical comfort of the Li-2 transport aircraft during flight must be given a bad review.
Malashenko, who had not moved much in his seat, felt that the plane was shaking all the way. The violent shaking and shaking when encountering air currents several times almost made people think that the plane was about to crash. Malashenko swore that if any airline in the future dared to provide such poor service, the complaint hotline of the relevant department would be blown up.
"Ah, I feel that this is not as comfortable as the train. At least I can fall asleep on the train, but it is impossible to even take a nap on it."
Malashenko, who rarely took a plane after traveling to this era, complained, but Political Commissar Petrov beside him looked calm.
"But at least it's fast enough, isn't it? Hurrying is our top priority.
Knowing that what Political Commissar Petrov said was true, Malashenko couldn't continue to complain. Although sitting on the plane was uncomfortable, it would be over soon if you endured it. It would be better to kill time.
Malashenko looked around and found something to kill time on the empty seat on the other side of him: a newspaper that might have been left there by a passenger on the previous flight.
The date of the newspaper was relatively new, that is, it was from the past few days, and the news and special reports published on it were at least not outdated.
Malashenko spread his arms and spread out the newspaper and began to read the content on it. A special report on the lower half of the front page attracted Malashenko's attention. A reporter from Pravda had just interviewed Comrade Vatutin, the commander of the First Ukrainian Front who had made outstanding contributions.
"Yes, I have no doubt about it. The evil fascist invaders will suffer a complete defeat and be driven out of this great motherland. The Red Army will deal the heaviest and most ruthless blow to these fascist running dogs, the invaders will be crushed, and soon Ukraine will return to the embrace of the great motherland. Under the wise and outstanding leadership of Comrade Stalin, the Red Army will surely usher in a glorious victory. ”
As always, the interview report published in the newspaper was "twice polished" by the editors of Pravda. Malashenko could taste the obvious official praise from it after reading it only once. He had been on the headlines of Pravda in this way before, so it was very familiar to see it again.
But it was this interview report with Vatutin's photo that evoked a distant memory for Malashenko.
"Yes, it will be 44 years soon. So, logically speaking, will Vatutin also be..."
There were countless Red Army generals who died during the Great Patriotic War, but Vatutin could be said to be the one who died the most aggrieved.
Vatutin was not killed by the enemy or the Nazi-fascist invaders, but fell under the guns of Ukrainian traitors and a group of extreme nationalists. He eventually died of complications from the rapid deterioration of wound infection.
"This group of scumbags of Ermao never have anything to do with good things, whether now or in the future. "
Malachenko, who cursed inwardly, knew very well what kind of people the extreme nationalists in Ukraine were. The brain circuits of this group of scum can be described as bizarre.
Smashing statues, beating veterans, urinating and splashing paint on the tombstones of Ukrainian Red Army veterans who once defended this land with their lives, wearing the uniforms and emblems of the Nazi SS, and carrying out a fascist restoration.
Calling back the souls of traitors and villains during the Great Patriotic War, holding a second funeral with great fanfare, these are all outrageous and stupid things done by these idiots who don't know if they have feces or other shit in their heads.
Malachenko knew that there was a deep entanglement and hatred between Ukraine and Russia, or the two nations, but this was not an excuse for those extreme idiots whose brains had been soaked in septic tanks to commit such idiotic behavior.
When he thought that his troops would soon be When entering Ukraine, it will inevitably face a situation where the public support rate is not as high as before, and there will definitely be a lot of Ukrainian extremists who are hostile to and hate the Red Army.
Malashenko felt that it was necessary to discuss countermeasures with Political Commissar Petrov in advance.
People should be treated as people, but it is completely different to treat beasts and traitors. No matter how big the internal contradictions are, it is not a reason to help the Nazi fascists turn their guns around and attack their former compatriots.
More importantly, Malashenko, who already has a very deep personal friendship with Vatutin, does not want to see this chubby and kind commander comrade who always likes to greet him with a smile, die under the guns of a group of scum as in the existing history.
He has saved Lavrinenko, who should have died heroically in 1941, and he is still alive and well.
Malashenko, who never stopped doing anything, simply decided to take action again. Under no circumstances should the tragedy in the existing history be repeated again. Even if Vatutin inevitably has to sacrifice for his country in the end, then he should die the way he deserves, not at the gunpoint of such a bunch of scum who are not even garbage.
"But what to do?"
Malashenko had no authority to issue any orders to Vatutin, so he naturally could not let him go to a safe place to avoid danger. On the contrary, as a directly subordinate unit, he had to be at the disposal of Vatutin at any time.
How to save Vatutin was the biggest problem. Malashenko didn't think that this stubborn commander who didn't even listen to Comrade Zhu's advice could listen to his words and stop running around.
To save Vatutin, Malashenko must prepare a very thorough and complete plan with preliminary plans. There can be no mistakes from the beginning of the plan to the final end.
The key to the problem all depends on how Malashenko can maximize his subjective initiative. Success or failure depends on this.
"There is still enough time. I have to perfect the plan bit by bit without making any mistakes."
Malashenko, who was engrossed in thinking about the problem, didn't even notice the height difference caused by the plane's descent. It wasn't until the moment when the landing gear touched the ground that he felt a strong impact that his head suddenly reflected and was brought back to reality. Malashenko then heard Commissar Petrov speaking slowly from the side.
"We're here, get your stuff ready to get off the plane."
