Chapter 1469 Final Decision

"What are these Germans doing in the tank? Are they playing poker? Do they think this is a family gathering?"

"Hey, don't worry, Ivushkin. Maybe the Germans are just discussing how to surrender more decently. These bastards have always been very proud."

Malashenko stood on his tank commander's seat with his upper body out of the turret. The hot battlefield with gunfire and explosions just now has completely cooled down and turned into silence.

Not only the armored stranglehold battle on Malashenko's side has been declared over, but the infantry battle commanded by Varosha on the other side has also been settled.

The tenacious resistance of the SS infantry did cause a lot of trouble to the Red Army. The crazy firepower seriously hindered the effective advancement and attack of the Red Army infantry. The battle was once in a state of helplessness in the early stage.

But this stalemate did not last too long. The Red Army, which had an absolute numerical advantage in tank forces, quickly dispatched enough tanks to cover the infantry advance.

As soon as the SS infantry showed their heads, they were immediately bombarded with bullets and sand and rocks flew everywhere.

If the SS infantry hid behind bunkers and wreckage and resisted stubbornly, then what followed was not just light weapons bullets, but high-explosive grenades fired from 85mm or even 122mm tank guns.

What? The Germans hid behind bunkers?

Okay, then I'll blow up the bunkers for you, and the problem will be solved.

In the face of a powerful offensive with absolute strength, any stubborn resistance will eventually turn into a cloud.

The SS infantry, who were bloodthirsty, could not stop this terrible offensive like a flood. At the end of the battle, not many SS infantry surrendered voluntarily, but a lot of bodies were blown to pieces.

"Hey, there are a few alive here! They are wounded soldiers!"

"Search them first, be careful that the fascists have weapons!"

"We have searched them, and even knocked out two of them, no problem."

The soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield not far away were shouting and passing on the news. It seemed that they had found a few German wounded soldiers who had lost their combat effectiveness after being knocked down. It was rare to capture so many prisoners in a battle.

Malashenko, who had no time to care about these details for the time being, was getting impatient. He frowned and raised his arm to roll up his sleeves and looked at his watch. The German in the Tiger King has been dawdling for nearly two minutes, and there is still no movement. What the hell is going on?

"What the hell? Is it so difficult to decide whether to surrender or fight to the death? Or did all the Germans in this King Tiger commit suicide?"

At first, Malashenko did intend to use his own vehicle, this IS4 heavy tank, to have a one-on-one duel, a commander duel, and directly knock down this German's most powerful King Tiger heavy tank in service to get the pleasure of conquest.

The more powerful the prey, the more it can prove the strength of the hunter. The army has always been a team that worships the strong. From this point of view, Malashenko's idea of ​​challenging the King Tiger is understandable.

But not long after giving the order to Kurbarov, Malashenko suddenly changed his mind and changed his mind.

Directly killing this car of Germans can only get a temporary sense of conquest and satisfaction, which will soon dissipate and become a passing cloud.

But if a car of Germans is captured alive and forced to surrender, it is possible to dig out a lot of high-value things from the German with the highest rank in it. In the worst case scenario, this guy is nothing more than a diehard German thug, a brainwashed fanatic who is unwilling to confess honestly. Malashenko still has a way to deal with him and use him to play the surplus value.

The Germans who are asking for their own death have slaughtered and purged the people in Ukraine from pro-German and pro-German people into guerrillas and bandits one after another. They harassed the German logistics supply lines and blew up the railway tracks all day long.

They also affected more local people in the occupied areas of Ukraine, making those who dared not speak out also hate the Germans. Who knows one day they will grit their teeth and stamp their feet and run to get guns to fight the Germans.

Based on the current situation, Malashenko feels it is necessary to catch a few fanatical fascists to hold a "public trial" and publicly try and execute a few fascist fanatics who are extremely evil and have blood on their hands.

Doing so can get an explanation for those innocent people who died tragically, uphold justice, and boost the morale of his troops. Secondly, it can also re-establish initial prestige and trust among the local people. After that, with some basic food relief and material subsidies, Malashenko is confident that Ukrainians will not shoot him wherever his troops pass.

People who are fed up with war and turmoil actually desire peace the most. This is a commonality of people. No one wants to put their heads on the belt all day long.

Therefore, Malashenko's plan can actually be called a win-win situation of "killing two birds with one stone".

Malashenko, who is short of such "experimental products" on hand, is worried about not being able to find a target. At this time, it would be good if he could really pull one out from the tiger king. At least the key problem has been solved, which is a gain.

Malachenko, who couldn't wait to waste time with these Germans, narrowed his eyes, reached out and grabbed his radio transmitter and put it to his mouth, preparing to say something.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Tiger King opposite, which had been surrounded by Red Army tanks and had been silent for a long time, suddenly moved.

Bang--

The heavy turret hatch was opened from the inside out, and the first thing that came out of the turret was not a living person, but an MP40 submachine gun barrel with a white flag.

"These cowardly bastards, didn't they surrender in the end!? The SS scum is no different from the Wehrmacht bastards, and they are all cowards in the end."

Iushkin, who was not polite, saw the scene in front of him through the newly installed gunner's wide-angle periscope, and sneered at the Tiger King crew who surrendered at the end with a look of disdain.

Malashenko's reaction outside the turret was calm. In fact, whether the Tiger King suddenly opened fire, fought to the death, or made a decision like surrendering, Malashenko would not feel the slightest bit of surprise, and it was completely within expectations.

Fear of death is human nature, and madness is the characteristic of the SS. No matter what the situation is, there are reasons to explain it, and it is not surprising.

If you have to say it, in Malashenko's heart, he still feels that the probability of the SS crew in the Tiger King surrendering in the end is slightly higher.

After all, when people suddenly calm down and the crazy adrenaline climax subsides, the rationality under the strong desire for survival will eventually replace the fanaticism and prevail.
