Chapter 2283 The Transfer Order Comes Again
"What's wrong? Why do you look like this? Do you have any special orders?"
Malashenko, who was holding the telegram in his hand, had a very strange expression. It was so strange that the political commissar could guess at a glance that there was probably something unusual written on the telegram, otherwise Malashenko's expression would not have turned out to be the same. so.

Faced with the question from Comrade Political Commissar, Malashenko blinked and thought for a moment, then raised his hand and scratched his head like a monkey. After being quite puzzled, he spoke. .
"Can you believe it? We are being transferred and leaving East Prussia. The war here will have nothing to do with us from now on."
""
Now not only Malashenko, but also the political commissar comrades who heard this looked surprised.
"How is that possible? We've all been interspersed here, why are we being transferred now? Where are we being transferred to?"
"I don't know. Anyway, it's written here. You can see for yourself."
Malashenko, who was also puzzled, did not continue and handed the telegram in his hand to the political commissar.
Political Commissar Petrov, who received the telegram, quickly read it at a glance, and the expression on his face immediately suggested something of understanding.
"I see. If that's the case, it's understandable. It's better to say it's something that was expected. It's just that we didn't realize it beforehand."
The contents of the telegraph paper generally boil down to only one meaning.
Comrade Lao Wa sent a telegram saying that the next battle in East Prussia has nothing to do with the leadership division. It's not that you guys didn't fight well or that the battle has reached this point and you are not needed, but that the Supreme Commander The ministry decided to give the leading division a new mission: to break through the last defense of the German army, insert the sharp knife into the heart of the Germans, end the evil, and completely end this protracted war.
Simply put, it was the vanguard of the Red Army's final offensive that invaded Berlin.
This is not just a military mission, but also a political mission.
The unique honor of the unit makes this supremely glorious task unsurprisingly fell on the head of the leading division.
Making history in the name of Supreme Leader Stalin, witnessing the final moment of the Great Patriotic War, freezing this final moment, firmly engraving it in the history books, and going down in history together with the name of the leader, this is the Supreme Commander of Moscow This is the final task assigned to the leadership division by the Ministry and also to Malashenko.
For this reason, the leader division will no longer be affiliated with Vatutin's 3rd Belorussian Front, but will be transferred to the 1st Belorussian Front to participate in the next phase of military operations.
It is worth mentioning that, in compliance with the appointment of Supreme Leader Comrade Stalin, the commander of the First Belarusian Front at this time was no longer Luo Chai, but an old superior who had a favor for Malashenko: invincible Marshal Zhukov, the God of War of the Red Army, Comrade Lao Zhu.
Although Vatutin did not narrate in detail in the brief telegram, he only asked Malashenko to be prepared to change defenses and handovers with the troops arriving later at any time, and then set off by train to begin strategic maneuvers and move south to the first Belarusian The front army completed the transfer order.
But according to Malashenko's guess, the person who can transfer the leader of the Belarusian Third Front from Vatutin is unlikely to be a fatherly comrade who has delegated power to his generals.
Although it is good to win Berlin in the name of a loving father, it is just the icing on the cake. It is one of the things that "it is better to have it, it will be fine without it". It is only an icing on the cake at most. It's not a bad idea to specially mobilize a main field group that was wallowing in a pool of blood from other fronts to go south specifically to participate in this military operation that has not yet hit our noses. How can we make such early preparations?
According to Comrade Ma's analysis, this kind of thing is more like Zhukov, who has just been transferred to the First Belarusian Front Army as commander, from coordinating the strategic actions of the entire army to beginning to specifically grasp the front-line tactical command. Things done.
Everyone knows that there is an irreplaceable special relationship between Zhukov and Malashenko. The special nature of this relationship cannot be replaced even by Vatutin and Malashenko.
You can even say that without Zhukov, there would be no Malashenko today.
Because it is.
Without Zhukov's single-handed promotion and support, Malashenko would not be able to have such a legendary experience today, let alone sit on the throne of the leader of the division commander, which is not replaced by the commander of the group army, and sit on it. It's so stable and has no intention of being rotated. It goes without saying who is behind this.
Of course, it can also be said that this is Zhukov cultivating his confidants and direct descendants. It is to strengthen his own power in the army, so that it can be used when needed in the future. This is done for his own selfish desires and personal purposes.
But no matter what, in the end it was Zhukov who made Malashenko what he is today, and this is absolutely correct.
Ability alone cannot accomplish great things. No matter how good a horse is, it must be known to the world by knowing Bole, instead of being randomly discarded in the garbage dump like an ordinary stone and remaining in obscurity for a lifetime.
Malashenko didn’t have the awesome protagonist’s plug-in in some time-travel novels, or any golden finger that could change his destiny. He brought nothing but a memory that didn’t belong to this world, not even this body. The body that houses the soul and consciousness is picked up for free.
To be honest, if Zhukov had not been willing to help, Malashenko could not say what he would be like now. He might have been taken away by the Germans in a battle and reported to Comrade Lenin.
Having a strong and capable general who is grateful to him and says what he means is waiting for his orders. Even if the commander of the First Belarusian Front is not Zhukov but someone else, Malashenko believes that he will still make the same decision under the same circumstances.
After all, the expected upcoming Battle of Berlin will inevitably be full of difficulties and obstacles, and the enemy's resistance will be unprecedentedly crazy and tenacious, and they will fight to the death. And if you have such a powerful leader division, it is an elite field group ranked first in the entire Red Army.
Not to mention any decisive strategic results for the overall battle situation, but at least it is similar to the level of "no panic with food in hand". The ability to resist various unpredictable battlefield mutation factors will inevitably be greatly enhanced, and the overall strategic risk will be greatly reduced.
After all, everyone knows that the Leader Division is a synthetic field group with independent combat capabilities. Its adaptability to various complex battlefield conditions is second to none in the entire Red Army. To put it simply, it is a "jack of all trades" unit.
As long as the Germans on the ground are causing trouble, whether they are artillery, infantry, armored troops, or a mixed hodgepodge of mixed troops, the Leader Division can handle it on its own.
When advancing, it is aggressive like fire, and when defending, it is immovable like a mountain.
If you are the commander of the front, under the premise that you can use your personal relationship to get this unit under your command, do you want it? Do you want it? The answer is obviously yes, and Comrade Lao Zhu is no exception.
