Chapter 2089 Ending the Evil
Those SS soldiers who were resting today or simply asked for leave were basically arranged by Malashenko to use the "152 wake-up alarm" service without exception. Most of them did not even have time to get out of the warm bed before being pressed into the sky by the terrifying 152mm high-explosive grenade in the barracks.
The Germans did not like to live with lowly prisoners, Jews, and Poles. The scum of the SS built the army barracks on the edge of the concentration camp, and the distance slightly outside was separated by barbed wire and walls. This made it easier for Malashenko to do things. It was much more convenient to cover you with heavy firepower than to rush in and fight a gun battle.
Ride a high-speed light vehicle to scout and determine the situation before the arrival of the large force, and use the vehicle-mounted radio to send back the artillery coordinates. Before the self-propelled artillery unit entered the firing position, the elite scouts of the Leader Division had already reported the precise artillery coordinates and sent them back to the Germans, using this as a medium to bring a steel soup.
The intensive artillery bombardment of the 152 heavy artillery group, which was terrifying, came and went quickly. According to Malashenko's request, it stopped in just two minutes, and stopped the bombardment without extending the firepower.
At this moment, Malashenko was no longer at the command truck, using the long-range radio to command his troops. Instead, he had entered the "Avenger" IS7 heavy tank prototype with the turret call sign 177, painted with the Guards logo, the Leader Division emblem, and the slogan "Revenge for the Hero Kirill", and was leading the first wave of the Leader Division's heavy armored combined forces that arrived at the attack position to charge forward.
"Attention, all infantry squads! After entering, quickly block all major entrances and exits and control intersections according to the established plan. Then, the German gathering place in the concentration camp, office buildings, armories, and other suspected gathering targets must all be captured! Don't let a single German escape! In addition, pay attention to controlling firepower, and do not shoot at prisoners in the concentration camp unless necessary. The specific actions can be decided by the squad leaders according to the situation on the scene."
The deployment of infantry fighting vehicles has brought an additional benefit to Malashenko, and the command flexibility of mechanized coordinated infantry has been greatly enhanced.
At least before the infantrymen leave the belly of the infantry fighting vehicle, Malashenko can use the vehicle radio throughout the process to contact any infantry squad he wants to command, and can even directly communicate with the infantry squad leader in the vehicle and issue orders.
One vehicle is one squad, which means that it is possible to use the infantry squad as the basic unit to arrange more detailed and specific infantry tactical action plans, and to update orders in real time according to the ever-changing battlefield changes, greatly improving the timeliness of command.
Real-time communication and specific command to the infantry squad level may not be a big deal in modern warfare where even individual soldiers can communicate and command in real time, but you have to know that this is World War II in 1944.
Not only can he get the latest battlefield situation in real time when he is on the front line, but Malashenko can also give specific commands to the infantry squad level. The combination of these two is equivalent to cheating. It is as outrageous as playing CSGO with a perspective cheat while the opponent is playing green games.
Others have to lay telephone lines to make calls or send telegrams when commanding infantry at the battalion level. You are so good here that you use real-time radio for one-on-one command at the squad level. Isn’t this outrageous and cheating?
After rushing out of Warsaw, the leader division attacked southwards. In the continuous battles for many days, it has intercepted wave after wave of Germans who were either retreating or running away with increasingly skilled synthetic tactics. After crushing them to death, it continued to move forward quickly, trying to find the next target or the main force of the German army.
The leader division, which is 100% mechanized, showed an extremely terrifying offensive assault speed in this process.
In just one day, all the vanguards of the First Ukrainian Front rushed forward and more fiercely than Konev, who had just got the temporary command of the leader division. Whether it is offensive energy or assault speed, it is far from the same level, or even in a different dimension.
If you only look at the battle report, you will even have the illusion that "the leader division and other troops are probably not the same country's army", because the gap is really outrageous and too big.
After several days of continuous assaults like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, the already chaotic German retreat route was almost cut in half, making it even more chaotic. Then Malashenko saw a name on the map that he could not forget after seeing it, but had neglected before: Auschwitz.
"That's it, the next target is here! Auschwitz! The Germans on the front line are now so chaotic that they think that the Red Army has surrounded them at the slightest movement, and they are suspicious and in chaos! Moreover, most of them have been caught up by the main force of the front, and our initial combat goal has been achieved. Whether it is delaying or disrupting the enemy's retreat, the task has been completed."
"And here, right here, in this sinister Polish town, hides the most insane group of fascist demons in the world! We can't let them get away, we must let these evil beasts accept the judgment and trial of justice!"
"My dear comrades and comrades, in the name of the great leader Comrade Stalin, we must conquer and take over this evil place. This is the supreme and glorious mission that belongs only to our division! The hands of these fascist beasts are stained with the blood of countless Red Army soldiers and our comrades. In the past few years, thousands of Red Army prisoners of war have been detained here and tortured to death!"
"They are our compatriots, our comrades, our relatives, our brothers and sisters, and we must avenge them! Let those fascist demons pay the price for this! We will do it ourselves!"
"The great motherland is looking forward to our revenge for her. We can't let her and Comrade Stalin down! Let the dirty and smelly blood of those fascist bastards fill the land under their feet. This is my only request to you! Don't show mercy to them. Any sympathy and pity for them is a disgrace to the motherland. , to the comrades, to the thousands and thousands of people who silently supported us in this great Patriotic War! "
"I will lead the team tonight, and we will crush these crazy fascist demons before they run away! In the past few days, our division has already assaulted more than 200 kilometers of cross-country mileage, defeated countless enemies, and eliminated countless fascist idiots who dared to confront the leader division! Now there is only one step left, and we will use one night to complete this last 100 kilometers of assault and nail the tombstones of these fascist demons firmly on their hearts! "
The meeting tent of the division headquarters mobilization meeting was packed. All the commanders and deputy commanders above the battalion level, including the logistics and baggage troops, all cast their eyes and fixed them on their division commander comrade, forcibly suppressing their already manic fighting spirit, waiting for an order.
"Now I give the order! The 1st Stalin Guards Heavy Combined Arms Division, march out! Use the blood of those fascist demons to prove our honor!"
Ura——
Ura——
Ura——
Ura!!!
After just one night, the red dawn that occurred early the next morning was actually destined at this moment, in the battle shouts that resounded through the dark tent.
