Chapter 1923 Have You Heard of It?
On the issue of how to deal with the Germans, Malashenko is indeed an absolute expert. If Malashenko says that he doesn't understand this, no one will dare to stand up and claim to be an authority. Read М
After a relatively long speech, Malashenko found that almost everyone present took up the small notebooks and pens they carried with them and quickly recorded the key points he had just said.
From the perspective of the Soviet army itself, Malashenko's explanation and rhetoric were indeed very useful. Even if ordinary troops cannot achieve the hardware equipment level of the leader division, some technical and tactical methods can still be applied to a certain extent in actual combat according to their actual situation and battlefield needs.
After all, in the final analysis, everyone is indeed a Red Army unit from the same mold, and some basic things cannot be changed. Malashenko's side uses a very cool technical and tactical method, which can be used to defeat ordinary troops with some modifications, but it is just a matter of how much the actual combat power is discounted.
But for the British and American Allied forces in front of them, it was a completely different matter.
The environment and system on both sides were different. Even if the opponents were the same Germans, the tactics and tactics based on the Red Army's combat system would not work well if they were applied mechanically to the Allied forces.
Are there any supporting technical equipment? Can the combined arms force be built? Do the front-line commanders of these Allied forces have enough personal ability to control what they are talking about? Based on their current knowledge reserves and actual combat experience, how well do they understand this set of rhetoric?
You must know that if the understanding is slightly biased, it may be a big mistake on the battlefield.
Malashenko is very clear about these situations, but on the other hand, he does not intend to explain this to these Allied guys.
Comrade Lao Ma still remembers Vatutin's advice before he left: It's okay to teach these Allied forces, but don't show the real ability of our Red Army.
Even though we are still close friends now, once the common enemy, the Germans, collapse, we may suddenly turn our backs on each other. If something bad happens, the Allies will use what we, the Red Army, taught us to deal with us. Wouldn't that be embarrassing? I'm afraid we won't be able to save our dignity.
Malashenko wanted to say to Vatutin: Don't worry! I'm from the 21st century! There will be no cold war. Those NATO lackeys are afraid of us. They can't even hide, so why do they fight?
But such words are only limited to thinking. If he really said that, Malashenko would probably be taken to check whether he had mental problems. The tank hero of the motherland actually started to daydream and talk nonsense! This is incredible and must be treated with caution.
At the end, Malashenko just nodded to indicate that he would follow Vatutin's instructions. We should keep the real skills for ourselves and not let the British and Americans teach us.
So, going one step further, Malashenko's idea is "Anyway, I have taught you the real thing. Although it is not a core thing, it is at least the secret recipe for our Red Army's victory."
As for how your allies understand and apply it in practice on the battlefield in combination with their own reality, Malashenko asked himself that he could not control it.
I am only responsible for teaching you, not the housekeeper who is invited by you to follow you throughout the whole process. Don't expect me to worry about your own affairs for you. Just learn more by yourself.
While thinking about these things in his head, Malashenko also noticed that some British and American officers with fast hand speed had finished taking notes, and began to fix their eyes on themselves again and concentrate again.
"I have a question for you, General Malashenko."
"Hmm?"
Looking in the direction of the voice, Malashenko saw a guy in a US Army colonel's uniform, raising his right arm like a student and asking to speak.
"Go ahead, Colonel, I'm listening."
Seeing Malashenko's reply, the US colonel, who had received permission, immediately stood up from his chair and introduced himself before he even asked the question.
"General, I am Colonel Jack Morrison of the 4th Armored Division of the US Army. I am honored that you allow me to ask you questions. Thank you."
"What I want to know is that the soldiers under your command are brave and fearless. When I was observing the battlefield on the front line, I saw them rushing towards the enemy in waves. They not only have superb technical and tactical skills and tacit cooperation, but also have extraordinary courage and high morale that any soldier can envy."
"It is easy to build a well-equipped army, but it is difficult to give this army a tough soul that has been tempered for thousands of times. It is even more difficult to make elite equipment, skilled technical and tactical skills, and bravery and high morale coexist at the same time."
"It is the dream and honor of every commander to lead such a capable and combative army to contribute to the motherland. At this point, you are undoubtedly worthy of the envy of too many colleagues, including us. In addition to those sophisticated and powerful technical equipment, I want to know how you give this army a soul?"
""
This kid, the question he asked really stumped me. What the hell is this question?
Malachenko was taken aback for a moment. He was indeed surprised by such a special question, but he quickly reacted and spoke quietly.
"The 4th Armored Division is the elite unit of George Patton's Third Army. You should be familiar with Clayton Abrams, right? He is a good armored commander. You two are in the same unit. He should also be a colonel, right?"
""
Malachenko did not answer the question directly, but took a detour to talk about it, which made Colonel Jack's expression become "shocked".
How did he know so much? It's okay to know Commander Patton, but why did he know that Abrams and I are colleagues with the same rank? Is the Russian intelligence system so powerful? God, could it be that they have spies in our team? Isn't this a bit too outrageous and too "shocking"?
Looking at Colonel Jack's expression that "shocked my mother for a whole year", Malashenko just smiled faintly. At this moment, he had already thought about how to answer the question, and the unnecessary small talk naturally stopped here.
"How to give a unit a soul? Jack, have you heard that faith is the most powerful force?"
