Chapter 1302 Veteran Moment (Part 1)

The fact that the Germans have the Iron Fist has always been on Malashenko's mind, and he has carefully considered the solution. Although there are many feasible solutions, there is no immediate solution at present. Either he needs to talk to Kotin about further implementation measures, or he needs to spend some time to upgrade the existing tanks.

No matter which method is used, it cannot be said to be effective immediately. For the time being, don't expect a strong effect that will come immediately, but this does not mean that Malashenko will sit and wait for death without doing anything.

Is the Iron Fist very strong? Of course, the powerful chemical energy armor-piercing power of this thing is not only unstoppable by the T3485, but also the latest T43 hull upper armor. The frontal armor of the two new medium tanks is useless in front of this thing. Even if it is hit, the subsequent ammunition explosion or the destruction of the car and the death of people are absolutely predictable.

Then the Iron Fist has no weaknesses, and only strength remains?

Of course not. There is no weapon without weakness in the world, just like the human beings who created the weapon have not achieved perfection.

The biggest weakness of the Iron Fist is that it has an effective range of only 60 meters. This one-time jet grenade without an engine has poor accuracy and even worse range. If we only talk about range and accuracy, even the eight-strand slingshot is better than this rubbish.

Malashenko is very clear about the principle of hitting the snake at its seven inches. Only by understanding the opponent's weaknesses and making good use of them can you defeat the enemy in one move. The most critical part of dealing with the Iron Fist is to start with the key point of range.

The current effective range of the primary Iron Fist is only 60 meters, which is a useless attribute that is even worse than a high-powered pistol. Standard light weapons and heavy firearms can far surpass it without any problems.

In the complex terrain of the street fighting environment, the fighting distance is forced to be infinitely shortened to the level of face-to-face. There is really no good way to deal with this annoying German fire stick. You can't just stop fighting because it's a street fight, right?

And now, on the battlefield of this highland assault.

The environment Malashenko faced was a completely opposite field situation, and he was the attacker with absolute superiority in manpower and technical weapons, and had absolute initiative on the battlefield.

In other words, whether it was a close-range battle or a long-range firepower confrontation, it was not up to the Germans to decide. It depended on how our Master Ma calculated, how he felt, and how he wanted to destroy the German sticks.

Isn't your German iron fist short and out of reach, so you can only fight close to the face?

Well, I will play a long-range heavy firepower confrontation with you, and pull the distance to let you taste what the Red Army's heavy firepower suppression is!

Want to destroy the tanks in front of the position and break the deadlock?

No problem! Give you Germans this opportunity!

Whether it is a heavy tank or a medium tank, they are all parked here motionlessly and firing on the spot. Since you Germans can't reach it, pick up your weapons and take the initiative to move forward to close the distance.

If you want to destroy the tanks, there is only one way, and this method seems to be the only feasible strategy and the road to the dawn of victory. But in the blind spot of the invisible road entrance, there is Malashenko holding a machete, ready to bleed and chop off the heads of the Germans who dare to try at any time.

All the tanks that rushed to the front of the position to stop were not fighting alone. The dense heavy firepower cross-volley network would be formed in a very short time, and the symphony of machine guns and main guns would soon be connected.

Of course, such a dense firepower is still not the whole of Malashenko's plan. The elite guards infantry under Varosha who caught up later were the absolute protagonists against the German infantry.

Most of the main battalion of the Varosha Infantry Regiment were Red Army veterans who had survived the hell on earth of Stalingrad. The previous survey results of the force composition showed that the proportion of Stalingrad veterans in the main battalion under Varosha reached an astonishing 30%!

What? You said 30% is too little! ?

Gan! These are all men who crawled out of the dead in Stalingrad! The number of corpses they have seen is more than what 99.9% of the people on this planet have seen in their lifetime! The huge casualties of the Red Army in Stalingrad were exchanged for these elite veterans. No matter where they are, they are the hot cakes that commanders and fighters at all levels are scrambling for.

Malashenko is already quite proud of this amazing proportion of 30%. If you really want to say it, you have to thank Comrade Lao Zhu for giving him face!

These "tank cavalry" who led their own soldiers, as battalion commanders, company commanders, platoon leaders, squad leaders, deputy positions at all levels, or simply veterans, rode tanks into the battlefield. After getting off the car quickly in front of the German position, they immediately crouched and followed their own tanks and trotted forward quickly. They were unable to carry too heavy infantry weapons and had all kinds of light weapons in their hands.

With Malashenko's consent, Varosha gave these veterans who had survived the Battle of Stalingrad a right.

As long as you like, you can choose any infantry light weapons that you can handle and feel comfortable with in the armory of the Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division. The Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division, which has achieved fruitful results and made many merits, not only has the best weapons of the motherland, but also a variety of captured weapons can be seen everywhere, including those rare Italian and Finnish weapons.

Yegorovich was one of the elite veterans under Valosha, but because he was too old, didn't understand culture, didn't want to learn new things he didn't like, and was relatively rigid. So when many old comrades who had fought bloody battles together in Stalingrad had at least become squad leaders, Yegorovich still volunteered to be an ordinary soldier.

"Don't let me manage people! My mother has been scolding me since I was a child that I can't even manage five sheep. When I come back from herding sheep at night, there are only three left. If you let me be a squad leader, I guess I don't even know where they died, let alone remember to find them."

Few people dared to speak to Lieutenant Colonel Valosha, who had become the regiment commander, with such an attitude. Yegorovich was one of the few, but this was indeed a rough and true statement.

So, Valosha chose to respect Yegorovich's self-thinking, threw the handwritten signed order to promote him to platoon leader into the trash can, and allowed him to continue to be an ordinary soldier and fight on the battlefield.

Since then, Yegorovich got a new nickname, "Fool Kim", which combined part of his name with a mockery.

Many people called him that, but Yegorovich himself didn't care.

At the age of 38, he felt that as long as he could kill those German sticks, nothing was bad, and the rest didn't matter.
