Chapter 1826 The Attack Begins!
The entire battle plan has been completed. The next thing to do is to implement this plan and ensure that it is foolproof. Reading
Rushing in and starting to fight is not the style of our old comrade Ma. It is absolutely not the dominant factor. It is not a good choice to disturb the Germans and rush into battle when the enemy situation is unclear. If possible, Malashenko still hopes to do everything possible to increase the understanding of the enemy before starting the war. Prior combat reconnaissance has become the most important priority at the moment.
"It's been more than half an hour, comrade division commander, will the reconnaissance troops..."
"The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is anxious" is a not very appropriate saying, but from a certain perspective, this is the real situation at the moment.
Varosha, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, could not wait for the reconnaissance report from the front line. The whole person looked a little panicked, for fear that the treasures would go wrong, the Germans would drive the train away, or blow up the treasures with a bang. If so, it would be all over.
Malashenko, who ordered the troops to stop advancing and wait for the scouts' report, was also waiting. He stood beside his huge No. 217 IS4 command heavy tank, which was painted with the Guards' military emblem and a huge bear head biting the Iron Cross emblem and division emblem. He pressed the unfolded combat map on the rear engine side armor of the vehicle, frowned and stared at it, so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
"Wait a little longer, I believe in Alexi."
"Although this kid is always making trouble and always causing trouble in the war, I have never doubted his ability to do reconnaissance. Before setting off, I personally reminded him repeatedly of the importance of secret reconnaissance. I don't believe this kid can still go against orders and mess things up for me."
"Wait patiently for his news, I believe he can complete the task."
""
Perhaps it was because of Alexi that Valosha felt so uneasy and worried.
It must be admitted that the facts are indeed as Malashenko said, Captain Alexi, the commander of the divisional reconnaissance company, is a very capable guy. A specially modified light armored reconnaissance company was commanded by him to come and go freely and at will, as if as long as he wanted, the battlefield intelligence of the Germans would be transparent to him, and any battlefield deployment intelligence of the Germans could be investigated for you.
But no matter how capable he was, this guy had a very annoying and worrying problem: he liked to "adapt to circumstances" and act according to his own judgment and ideas in emergencies. To put it nicely, this was called strong subjective initiative, and to put it bluntly, this was disobeying military orders and pretending to obey but secretly disobeying. At the most mysterious time, he almost lost the entire reconnaissance company because of this, which really made people sweat.
Valosha was really worried that if this guy made a big thing again, it would be bad. You must know that this battle is completely different from the past, and there must be no mistakes. If there is a slight problem, the whole game will be lost and all the previous efforts will be wasted.
Valosha really really begged this brother to stay calm and not mess around, and he kept praying silently in his heart.
"Comrade Division Commander, Captain Alexi, the commander of the reconnaissance company, is calling. He is waiting for you on the line and wants to talk to you in person."
""
Hearing this, Malashenko turned around and left without saying a word, leaving the battle map he had just been studying with his hands to the ground.
He came to the modified GAZ communication truck not far away, grabbed the radio that the communicator had handed over without saying a word, and blurted out the impatient words.
"I am the Giant Bear Lord, please reply."
""
About less than a minute later, Malashenko, who had confirmed all the situations he needed to know, threw down the radio transmitter and returned to the side of the car. Varosha, who was on standby, had picked up the map and put it back. Malashenko walked forward and immediately pointed at several key points on the map.
"It's clear. The reconnaissance company confirmed the enemy's deployment, which is the same as we expected."
"Here, the main force of the SS Division is stationed to the northeast and north of the station. Alexi confirmed the signs of a large number of SS bastards' deployment activities. As we thought, the main force of the SS Division is not in the station or further back. It is resting there."
"The reconnaissance also confirmed the deployment position of part of the German armored forces, here, further southeast of the station. It seems that they are specially deployed here to guard against the enemy appearing in this direction. Alexi judged from the wheel tracks that the Germans withdrew from this direction. They are worried about the pursuit that may appear at any time and are ready."
" This is good news for us. Before the German armored forces react and join the battle, we should do our best to eliminate the infantry deployed in the northeast and north of the station. Without tank support and lacking solid positions and heavy anti-tank weapons, the bastard infantry of the Skeleton Division will be slaughtered by us no matter how capable they are. "
"We must do our best to inflict maximum damage to the enemy's infantry. The more infantry we kill, the less resistance Varosha will encounter after entering the station, and the less chips the Germans can use for their last desperate fight."
"After the battle begins, I will personally command the Second Regiment and concentrate our efforts to tear open the German infantry defense in the north direction. We must open the offensive path as quickly as possible to send our infantry into the station."
"The Third Regiment is responsible for containing and preventing the German infantry from the northeast from approaching for support, killing the enemy as much as possible, and using high-speed penetration and segmentation to cut the infantry of the Skeleton Division into several sections, and never let them comfortably gather their forces and concentrate their offensive energy. At the same time, you are also responsible for resisting the German armored forces, and you must not let these mad cows get close to the station."
"The Third Regiment is under the greatest combat pressure, so after the first round of artillery support is over, two companies of ISU-152 will join you and approach the front line of battle to conduct direct fire and strengthen your firepower output."
"The battle after entering the station will be commanded by Valosha himself. I can't get to the scene, so it all depends on you, Valosha . Finally, review the station design drawings you got in advance, remember the commanding heights and possible attack difficulties, and be prepared. This is the only advantage you have. Prioritize and ensure control of the train and all the treasures, and defend them at all costs. "
"When you are done, fire flares into the sky, and the tank troops will immediately rush into the station to provide you with support. This will cause the tankers to see everything that is not controlled by our army as targets of attack, and the firepower will be devastating, so you must control all the treasures before you start, remember! "
After the combat mission was arranged, Malashenko glanced at the people in front of him again, and the firm and unquestionable final words came out immediately.
"Bring news of victory to the motherland and the people! Our descendants and the future of the motherland need us to leave these precious historical relics, and we must not let them drift overseas and be buried in the hands of fascists! "
"Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division, start the attack! "
