Chapter 1810 Comrade Lao Ma's Versailles Time

When the dust settled after the last gunshot on the position, Malashenko raised his hand and looked at his watch. The hour hand on it pointed to the 2 position.

This cruel offensive and defensive battle between flesh and blood and armor took half a day to come to an end. As a result, it only took half a day to defeat the Germans' stubborn resistance. This result does not sound too bad, at least it is not beyond Malashenko's advance. That's the expected time.

Being able to end everything so quickly in the second half of the battle has a lot to do with the fact that Kulbalov's side knocked out the Germans' hidden artillery fire points and lifted the obstacles that had previously prevented reinforcements from entering the battle.

After the hidden crisis point was eliminated, Division Commander Gornakov's reinforcements were finally able to enter the battlefield and charge into battle.

The German army, which only had a small part of the position still under its control, could withstand such an offensive. It had been beaten to the last breath by Malashenko, and now it was fully equipped with the strength of a full infantry division. Press up.

The word "terrible" is no longer enough to describe the situation of the German army. It would be better to say "sudden death on the spot" is more appropriate.

There were no reinforcements and no troops to respond to the retreat. The German infantry, which was seriously short of anti-armor heavy firepower, looked at the torrent of Russian steel surging in like an ocean. It was so desperate that it could not be accurately described in words.

You can't fight, you can't run, your two legs can outrun steel wheels and track pads, and it's just nonsense to fly at high speed.

What else can be done now?

If you don't just want to die, then the only option left is surrender, and that's the fact.

Malashenko, who had long expected that the final result would be like this, ordered the process to be started again, and all the Germans who threw away their weapons and performed French military salutes were gathered together and kept in custody. As usual, those who disobeyed would be punched, kicked, yelled at, and even slapped in the face with the butt of a gun. Malashenko did not make any comments about this and let the soldiers do whatever they wanted.

I still have a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to waste time here with these German guys next door who are waiting to surrender. If you are not honest, you have to be prepared to be beaten. If you really want to say that the bruises and bruises are caused by these fascist bastards.

"It's unbelievable that this battle was won like this. Uh, I mean, it was indeed much faster than I thought. I thought that we could only capture half of the position today and advance two or three kilometers. I didn't expect that we would be able to So smooth."

Many commanders and fighters of the brother troops who fought with Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division for the first time all had the same feeling: a battle that seemed extremely difficult and would cost heavy casualties could be achieved as long as Malashenko was in place in person and led the troops. Once the troops rush like this, you don't need to worry too much about what happens next.

No matter what kind of monster the German guy on the opposite side is, he will basically collapse in less than half a day in front of this ocean-like torrent of steel. The devastating offensive of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division can be described as extremely rare. If you hadn't witnessed such a combat scene with your own eyes, this combat mode was slightly different in many details.

Commander Gornakov felt that he never dreamed that the battle could be fought so smoothly.

Malashenko, who was used to being looked at by others in this way, thought it was nothing. On the contrary, if he couldn't take down the hodgepodge of German sticks in front of him today, it would be called abnormal performance.

"The position was built in a hurry yesterday. There is no depth defense at all. There are no armored troops and air support. There are not many heavy anti-tank weapons that are the core pillar of the position's defense."

"Why can these German guys stop us? They had no chance of winning from the beginning. To be honest, I even feel that this battle is a bit slow. If everything is done before lunch, it will be called an extraordinary performance."

""

My own and Malashenko's tactical thinking and commanding skills are not on the same level. Malashenko is obviously much higher than me. This is why Commander Gornakov heard Comrade Ma's "Versailles Declaration" The only feeling I got after that.

However, Malashenko is telling the truth.

The feeling of holding the command of such a powerful army. Even if I use my brain to imagine, I can't imagine what it would be like. So don't make irresponsible remarks on the issues of command and tactics. Maybe the shock in my eyes is because of the suddenness. It seemed to Rashenko that it was really just a trivial matter.

"Has your division received the next phase of combat orders? Where will it march next?"

While Gornakov was "thinking wildly", Malashenko had jumped down from the turret of his command vehicle, took off his thick leather gloves to let his hands breathe, and said.

"It's not clear yet. The order I received is to wait for your arrival and then obey your orders. I will cooperate with you to deal with the Germans in front of you and destroy their defenses."

"As for what happens next, I guess our division may continue to push westward? I can't say for sure, who knows?"

"What about your division? Where do you plan to go next? Maybe we can move together."

Gornakov inadvertently asked about Malashenko's next move, and Malashenko, who had already fought a brutal battle with this old man in tacit understanding, didn't mind talking about it.

"Our division is going north, northwest. The Germans have assembled a large number of armored units and heavy defense forces there, trying to create a salient between our front and the Baltic Front, and may launch a counterattack later. We can't let them succeed."

"It takes heavy forces to launch a siege and annihilation war to take down these fascists. Ordinary troops can't handle it, so we have to transfer our division."

When you are a division commander, you can actually understand the next action plan of the entire strategic direction to a certain extent. Including where the key points of the current overall situation are, and in which direction to gather heavy troops and invest decisive forces in the next step, these things can basically be understood by a sufficiently competent division commander, it's just a matter of how much they understand.

After hearing what Malashenko said, Gornakov nodded, and was about to say something else, when a communicator came up quickly to report that it was someone from Stalin's First Guards Tank Division, not his own soldiers.

"Comrade Division Commander, Commander Kulbarov sent a message that the captured German artillery units have been properly handled and asked the division headquarters for the next order."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it. I have to go and take a look."

Malashenko suddenly remembered that there was such a thing and was about to leave, but he remembered that he was still with Division Commander Gornakov, so he blurted out a question out of politeness.

"The German artillery that crippled your battalion before has been captured. I heard that they are all equipped with new equipment. Let's go and take a look?"
