Before everything starts, in this last precious moment, Malashenko still has some necessary preparations to make.
"First, we have to determine the details of this gang of bastards. We have too little intelligence at present, and we only know the approximate location. I want to know what kind of troops these bastards are with, how many troops and technical equipment they have, and to collect all useful information as much as possible. Is there any way?"
Once he decides to do something, Malashenko's state will quickly return to a serious and meticulous state. The political commissar who was asked on the side immediately nodded with the same expression.
"There is a way to solve it. I still have a few acquaintances in the front headquarters, old comrades and comrades I met in meetings and dealings with other fronts in the past. I will try to find out some information from the side. Leave this matter to me. Later, you two will gather the troops and prepare for combat deployment. I will go to the front headquarters in person and come back quickly."
"Yeah"
With the political commissar coming forward to solve it, Malashenko believes that there must be a way to solve this matter. If he was not sure, the political commissar would not say so easily. Malashenko, who always knew the political commissar, knew that he was trustworthy and consistent.
"Then there is the question of troop preparations"
Malashenko took a deep breath. On the table in front of him was a war zone map used exclusively in the division commander's office. There were many traces of Malashenko's usual drawings on it. The small village that was told by the German surrendered major had been marked with a red pen by Malashenko.
"It is definitely impossible to mobilize the entire division. It is impossible to mobilize troops without orders. Once the entire division is mobilized, even a fool will know that we are going to have a big action. The inquiries from the front headquarters will definitely come in a hurry. It is hard to say whether we can cover it up and not reveal it at that time."
"So you want to make up a reason to mobilize a limited small force, and the large force will stay to cover up?"
Lavrinenko, who understood, asked, and Malashenko, who supported the map on the table with both hands, nodded quietly.
"That's right, but how small is this small unit, what is its force configuration and composition, how can it ensure its integrity and complete its mission objectives without air support and cooperation from friendly land forces? This is the key point and the biggest difficulty of the problem, and it is also what we must determine in advance."
Malachenko is right. This is destined to be a battle without any support and cooperation.
Because there is no order to mobilize troops, the superiors have no idea of the combat plan that the leader division has "walked alone" at the level of the division headquarters. Naturally, it is impossible to mobilize the air force support that needs to be coordinated into the front battle plan to uniformly deploy and deploy for Malachenko.
As for the ground cooperation of friendly forces, Malachenko does not expect it.
Although he has a great reputation and high prestige in the army, Malachenko knows that if he asks the nearby troops to cooperate, he can do it, but he does not want to do so.
This is because if outsiders come to help, the possibility of leaking the news will be greatly increased, and the friendly command agency that is not under his control is likely to report the matter. Malashenko believed that with Zhukov's ability, he could easily find out about himself. If Zhukov could be fooled by this, he would not be called Zhukov. Don't expect to keep it secret at that time.
So the best way is to rely on yourself, don't think about relying on others' help.
Moreover, Malashenko believed from the beginning to the end that this was essentially a war of revenge. The leader division had to regain the ground, wash away the shame, and regain the honor lost in the attack on Marinovo Village. You should regain your own honor instead of relying on others to do things for you.
Once it is determined that you can only rely on yourself, the problems you face will inevitably become a little tricky.
Needless to say, everyone knows what the 502nd Heavy Armored Battalion of the Wehrmacht is. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the essence of the entire Wehrmacht armored forces.
After all, from the perspective of God who will take charge of the entire World War II in the future, this is the fact. Malashenko, the future traveler, certainly knows this.
With such a tough bone to chew, coupled with the knowledge from the prisoners of war that there was an unknown number of infantry coordination, but at least one regiment, the difficulty of the problem was soaring like a rocket.
There was no support from heaven or earth, and the number of troops dispatched was limited. The enemy was a hard bone tied to stinky meat, and they could move to other places at any time and lose the target. The urgency of time was unprecedented.
To be honest, Malashenko felt that this was probably the toughest battle he had faced since he crossed into this world, with the most restrictive factors, the most complicated situation, and the most challenging troop mobilization and command capabilities.
Although the scale of the battle was not large, it was destined not to be a battle that was easy to win and easy to fight. Once there was a problem in any link or poor preparation, the only result left for Malashenko was "turnover".
It is even possible that even the small-scale offensive force that was deployed would fail to achieve its mission objectives and suffer heavy losses, and let the 502nd Battalion's bastards escape. This is the worst case scenario that can be expected.
"Huh"
After combing through all the details in his mind and stringing them together, Section Malashen, who had never seen so many thorny and complex problems piled together, let out a long sigh. It is no exaggeration to say that the difficulty of this battle is simply hellish, even considering the tyrannical and unrivaled strength of the current leader.
"I have a suggestion: mobilize all our best equipment and most elite manpower and gather them together. We temporarily form a special commando team. In terms of equipment quality, we will definitely crush those fascists. In terms of equipment quality, we will definitely crush those fascists. We don’t necessarily lose to them in terms of combat experience and tactical prowess. Didn’t their dog teeth break into pieces even in a sneak attack in the battle at Marinovo Village?”
Lavrinenko's suggestion sounds simple and unremarkable, but you have to deny that under the constraints of many limiting factors, it seems that there is no better way or solution than this. This is now The only feasible solution.
"I can't think of a better way, so let's do it this way."
Comrade Political Commissar nodded in the same way, and upon seeing this, Malashenko continued to speak.
"The core backbone of the commando team was transferred from Kurbalov. It is the old foundation of our division and the old unit that I brought up. More importantly, it was the unit that Kirill was in during his lifetime. I believe that Kurbalov Erbalov has the ability and the idea to let his most capable warriors avenge Kirill. It’s time for them to use good steel on the blade.”
"When deploying technical equipment, it is necessary to gather the best equipment from all over the division. Other units will be left alone for the time being. All high-quality resources will be concentrated on the commando team first to ensure that the commando team's equipment adequacy rate reaches 100%. The division's rocket assault The battalion will be separated and organized separately, and the self-propelled artillery of the brigade will also be added. Not one of the IS7s that have been obtained, including my own command vehicle, will participate in the battle. I will let these fascist scum be swallowed up in the sea of fire and die without a burial. land!"
