Chapter 1321: Hit the Toughest One First

Faced with such a general analysis, Malashenko did not feel lucky or fortunate, but came to a bold judgment that "it seems that the Germans are still caught off guard."

In other words, if the Germans really want to take full action to deal with him, it will probably take some time to mobilize troops, provided that the Germans really have the spare troops to spare.

"This situation is very important. It seems that the Germans can't take care of it now. It's best to take the initiative to attack before they take any action, and try to smash another big bone of these Germans."

As the troops at the final encirclement point, Malashenko and the 20th Guards Tank Brigade in the coordinated operation are an isolated army, with only a very small number of friendly troops around or no friendly troops on the way.

But the unfavorable factors are not all, in the end there is still good news for Malashenko.

The main forces in all directions of the front battlefield are advancing rapidly, and the large number of German remnants and defeated generals who have withdrawn from the Kursk battlefield are now overwhelmed, and the mud Buddha can't save himself when crossing the river.

Under such circumstances, Malashenko could foresee that even if the Germans knew that he was now making trouble in their stomachs and penetrating deep into their hinterlands, how many troops could you f*cking bring to bear under such huge external pressure?

Sending fewer troops would be like giving meat to Malashenko. After all, Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division was a veritable pig-eating-tiger. It had the number of a division but actually had as much troops as a tank army. Oh, and it also had the support of another encirclement main tank unit: the 20th Guards Tank Brigade.

This was also an absolute elite, but it was not as perverted as Comrade Lao Ma's division.

If the Germans sent one or two divisions over, it would basically be useless. Not to mention the infantry divisions that were purely sending heads, even if it was two fully equipped German armored divisions, Malashenko would now dare to face such an opponent head-on and fight a head-on snowfield armored encounter.

If you think you can win, then you can give it a try. Who would find it difficult to refuse such a good thing as improving the record?

Sending too few troops is like sending meat, so what does sending too many troops mean?

Sorry, this will only make you die faster.

The total strength of the Red Army on the front battlefield is more than ten times that of Stalin's First Guards Tank Division, excluding technical equipment, and this is the case in terms of personnel and comprehensive combat power.

Transferring a large number of main forces to encircle and annihilate Stalin's First Guards Tank Division is like putting the cart before the horse, or to put it bluntly, it is to take care of the head but not the butt.

The main force of the Red Army on the front will quickly tear through the gap in the weak point and attack. The Germans, who are facing wolves in front and tigers behind and whose combat range is directly compressed, will die faster. Malashenko does not need to worry about being surrounded and isolated.

So no matter which choice the Germans make, Malashenko's idea now is to let you choose, you can do whatever you want.

But you Germans may hesitate to make a choice, but I won't.

One of the purposes of taking this high ground is to seize control of the war zone and take the initiative to attack. After looking around, Malashenko can choose which direction he wants to deal with the Germans next.

Standing in front of the war zone map that has just been hung up, Malashenko, who has figured out the current situation, is extremely confident and happy. Comrade Lao Ma asked himself that it would be a rare encounter in his eight lifetimes for such a smooth and fruitful battle.

"Where is our air force? Is there any news? We have only seen this group of flying people appear once so far. Don't all go to support the front battlefield. We also need help here."

Malashenko never hesitates to have too much available power in his hands, just like no one dislikes that they have too much money.

The power on the ground is indeed strong enough, but if there are planes in the sky to help, it would be even better and icing on the cake.

Hearing Malashenko's inquiry, the political commissar who was directing the debugging of the telegraph machine and communicating with the communications director came forward.

"I have already sent a telegram to inquire, and there should be a reply soon."

"We can probably get some limited air force support, but it is not expected to be too much. The telegram just sent by the front headquarters said that the front battlefield is now extremely fierce, and all the main assault forces are going all out. The intensity of the battle is estimated to be no less than that of Kursk, and the enemy's resistance is also very tenacious."

Political Commissar Petrov did not continue to speak, but hinted to Malashenko that "the front battlefield is so fierce now, and the air force must be fully present." The meaning has been clearly expressed.

We are now in the rear of the enemy, so don't expect those busy air forces to cross the battlefield and come to support us.

It is naturally a good thing to be able to come a little, and it is normal if they don't come.

After all, plans cannot keep up with changes. If the war is really fought according to the planned rules and procedures, there is no command art, so it is best not to have too high expectations.

Malashenko could foresee that it might not be realistic to expect the air force to cross the battlefield to support him, but the truth that the crying child gets the milk should not be forgotten. Even if the support cannot be sent, you still have to ask for it when you should apply for it. The reason is that simple.

"Just tell them that we also need air force support here, as soon as possible, and don't worry about the rest."

"Look here, there is a relatively strong German group in the northwest of the highland. The intelligence we have shows that before the war, there was a relatively complete armored division, an infantry division, and some scattered German troops and a group of Ukrainian traitors stationed here."

"This armored division should be the most complete of all the German armored divisions around the highland. The others either have more than half of their casualties or have suffered serious losses in technical equipment and need to be replenished. In other words, this is the biggest threat."

"Instead of leaving it like this, I plan to knock this group of bastards out before the Germans make a large-scale response. In this way, even if the Germans from the surrounding directions move over, the threat will not be too great and we can deal with it easily, provided that we must eliminate this relatively hard bone as quickly as possible."

Malachenko did not choose the old routine of the old lady eating persimmons and picking the soft ones first, but directly chose to destroy the strongest Germans in this area first. This is also a suitable choice based on the possibility of being surrounded. After all, no one wants to wait until they are surrounded and there is still such a big threat.

Since the time for movement and attack is limited, it is better to kill the one with the greatest threat first.
