Chapter 2176 A roundabout attack

"Every unit maintains its firepower output and focuses its fire on high-threat targets first! Oskin, it's your turn to take the stage. Stop those Fascists!"

Alexander Povlovik Oskin, this is the "treasure" that Malashenko named, and he is also a supplement to the few important people who did not ask for equipment. Google search reading

This Slavic superman who once drove a T3485 bicycle to kill three German King Tigers in the existing history, and then escaped unscathed and ran away after pretending to be forced, was transferred by Malashenko in a "demand" manner. After joining the leadership division, he is now the captain commander of the medium tank battalion of the 1st Guards Heavy Combined Brigade.

That's right, Comrade Lao Ma was promoted, and he was promoted directly from lieutenant to captain as soon as he was transferred.

"Don't worry. I think you can do it, so you should do it. Give yourself some confidence. I, Malashenko, rarely make mistakes. This applies to you too, so do your best."

There is no unnecessary criticism. The reason for promotion is so simple and crude. The promotion from lieutenant to captain is made by the division organization that leads the division. There is no need to ask for instructions from above. In other words, it is Comrade Ma's own words. thing.

"The last time he said this to someone was probably to Comrade Kalashnikov. Comrade division commander has a bold personality and always speaks his mind. It may take you some time to get used to it, but it doesn't matter. It's right to lead the troops entrusted to you. His greatest reward.”

Comrade Oskin, who stuck to his post as commander, still has the words that Comrade Deputy Division Commander said to him echoing in his head, and the beads of sweat on his forehead unknowingly slid down again, leaving a longer trail of sweat. .

"I have to prove myself and prove that I have the ability to lead this army. I didn't get all this through backdoor connections!"

He does not mean that.

A newcomer who was transferred to lead the division was given the position of battalion commander as soon as he arrived. He was also favored by the comrades of the division commander and sat calmly. It would be false to say that the person involved was not under any psychological pressure, even if it was someone else. Even if you don’t tell me, you have to wonder: Behind the scenes, I don’t know how many people are questioning whether we are using a back door or a trust relationship. It may be a lost relative of our teacher comrade.

Comrade Oskin, who was quite uneasy, went to carry out Malashenko's order with such a state of mind.

But don't think that this will disrupt his thoughts and affect the battle. A fierce man like him who can fight from 1941 to 44 in one breath and survive with all his body parts is a ruthless character.

Oskin, who was favored by Malashenko and entrusted with important tasks, certainly knows what he should do now.

"Go at full speed! Go along the lowland reverse slope, don't give the Germans a window to shoot, don't stop without orders, charge!"

The terrain of the battle is indeed an endless snowfield, which is extremely suitable for large groups of armored soldiers to spread out and engage in decisive battles on the plains.

But the plain does not mean "leveling it to the bottom". If you really want this effect, you should build a concrete platform covering an area of ​​100 square kilometers to fight. That is the real "leveling it to the bottom", you can play whatever you want.

I had been observing the terrain as I followed the large army forward. Although I was a little confused that the division commander did not ask the medium tanks to lead the way, I couldn't fully understand the tactics of the leading division that were completely different from traditional tank troops. , but Oskin has always felt that sooner or later there will be a time when he will play, and it is always right to observe the terrain and keep it in mind.

Now, it happened that his previous terrain observation came in handy.

It is not the best choice to head towards the interception direction of the Germans, nor is it a wise move to stand in the middle of the line of fire of your own heavy tanks against the German vehicles.

Oskin, who was directing his medium tank battalion to advance at full speed, was rushing along the undulating slope of the reverse slope.

There was no other purpose, just to avoid the Germans' line of fire and vision.

Even if the Germans could see something in their panic, they would at most see enemy tanks racing forward behind the incline at high speed, rising and falling erratically, with the corner of the turret exposed from time to time. If you want to seize this kind of shooting window and complete the kill when the direct hit is in progress, the German guy really wouldn't be able to do it if he wasn't an Aryan superman.

The heavy tank group led by Malashenko maintained strong fire suppression in place, and the German troops who tried to make a side attack were still maintaining relatively high-speed horizontal maneuvers. It seemed that they were about to achieve success. After suffering huge losses, they were almost ready to gain something. time, but sudden surprises are always unexpected.

"Tank! Another Russian armored unit, oh my gosh, that's our Panther??? With red stars painted on the turret???"

The white IFF stars are too inconspicuous in winter. Since we are going to use captured vehicles, we need to avoid accidental attacks by friendly forces and make the IFF signs more eye-catching. So based on the white and green winter camouflage, I directly applied a red star that would slightly destroy the camouflage effect.

With the white and green camouflage background, the huge red star is indeed quite eye-catching, but it is the huge red star on the turret that really shocked the German armored soldiers.

"Black Panther II, so many Panther IIs! Behind them is the Russian T43, what's going on?!"

"Shut up! Attack quickly, that's the Russian's captured car! We're about to be flanked by two sides!"

"I was hit! Fire and abandon"

Boom——

Suddenly, Oskin led the team to accelerate from the reverse slope to the uphill position, and did not give the enemy a chance to kill.

The moment of stopping was the opportunity to fire, the super-long fishing rod barrel of the Panther II was sprayed with flames. This full-caliber armor-piercing shell, which was not so sure, finally hit the target accurately. At a distance of less than 500 meters, the German Panther II of the same model was blown up on the spot, and the flames were everywhere.

"All crews are in combat positions, quick! Attack the fascist flank immediately, and fire armor-piercing shells!"

One after another, the Panther 2 jumped out of the reverse slope and stopped, and together with the slightly slower T43 behind them, they responded to the enemy who had an absolute hit with maximum firepower output.

The German tanks that were still maneuvering at high speed and aimed their turrets in the direction of Malashenko's main force were completely unprepared for the surprise attack from the other side of the body behind the turret, and were caught off guard by the knife in the back, suffering heavy casualties.

Using the medium tank-level mobility of the IS6 to conduct high-speed strong penetration is only the first move of Malashenko.

Comrade Lao Ma certainly knows that the enemy, the Germans, still have remnants of armored forces in their hands, and he also knows that the Germans will not sit and wait for death, and will definitely try to resist death.

The high-speed mobility of the IS6 is enough to force the Germans to use armored troops to intercept, which is the only way to keep up with the high-speed penetration rhythm of the IS6 and to carry out effective rather than deadly blocking.

But you use inferior forces to intercept my superior forces, which is just right. On the basis of penetration and detour, I will once again disperse another force with higher mobility, and then conduct a second roundabout and trapping of your intercepting armored troops with nesting dolls. This is a combat plan planned early.

If you have the ability, you can also disperse your inferior forces for a second time to try to intercept, but Malashenko can bet a box of vodka and say: This will only make your Germans die faster.

A frontal assault could certainly destroy the Germans' only remaining armored corps, but a flanking attack would destroy the Germans faster, which was in line with Malashenko's combat philosophy of striving for a quick battle.

The only unexpected situation was that Oskin's troops observed the terrain in detail and were not noticed by the Germans because they were at the back of the main force when the fire started. They chose a very hidden slope and reverse slope, and finally, without any firepower blocking, they went straight to the other flank of the Germans and dealt a heavy blow.
