Chapter 2453 We Still Have a Final Account to Settle

Malashenko knew what kind of enemy he was about to face, just as he knew that the sun would rise as usual tomorrow morning, illuminating the scorched land that had been burned by the war until it was scorched and smoking.

The air was filled with the smell of death and destruction, and the cool breeze in the early morning brought the smell of death and blood.

Malashenko, who only slept for less than four hours last night, poured cold water into his head, found a dry towel and wiped it casually. He didn't care that his hair was not completely dry yet, and picked up the old black leather tank on the table. He buckled his hat on his head, put on his hatband, took off the armed belt hanging on the wall along with the holster and side gun, wrapped it around his waist and walked straight out.

When he came out of the fortifications and into the trenches, he looked up at the sky for the first time. The rising sun was supposed to emit golden morning light, but in Malashenko's eyes, it only reflected the color of blood. scene.

"Game time is over, you bastards. If I don't beat you all up today, I'll change my name to Golashenko."

After a whole day of fighting and moving upwards yesterday, the troop movement was basically completed until late at night.

The Leader's Division, which had an unusually large total force, basically sent all the combat troops needed in Malashenko's plan to the top of the high ground, entered the preset attack positions, and took up their positions.

In other words, yesterday's battle that lasted all day and seemed to have tortured the Germans was just an appetizer for the leader's failure to use his full strength due to objective conditions.

The Germans' core defensive position may be very strong, but today's leading division cannot be the same as yesterday.

Is it because the Germans' Tianling Gai are numerous and hard, or is it because the leader's mace is big and strong enough? The answer will be revealed soon, and Malashenko does not think that his leader's division will lose this "Tianling Gai vs. Wolf" battle. In the battle of "Tooth Stick", the leader will use the most solemn funeral ceremony to send these nemesis to heaven.

"How is the situation? How are the preparations going?"

Not half a minute after Malashenko left the house, Lavrinenko, who had gone down early to check the situation of the troops and make corresponding deployment instructions, had already turned back and happened to bump into Malashenko head-on, so there was no need to look for anyone anymore. Yes, what needs to be said can be said immediately.

"Everything is ready. According to your request, our own artillery will not participate in this round of fire preparations. Only the Katyusha and Andryusha rocket launcher clusters will conduct a round of fire coverage towards the key breakthrough."

"The artillery coordinates have been reported to the artillery group of the group army below the high ground. The main artillery preparations will be completed by them. There will be a wave of aviation support that has been promised to us later. The liaison officer confirmed that they are on standby at the airport. . First the artillery coverage, then the aircraft's follow-up attack, and finally the frontal attack with follow-up support from the self-propelled artillery."

"Everything I can think of has been done. I don't think it should exist. All the units and technical equipment in the organization are basically used. The first wave of assaults will fully demonstrate their strength. Infantry, tank troops, and artillery will all be used. If you get involved, you’ll be able to blow the shit out of those naughty bitches.”

"Um"

Malashenko simply responded without saying any more words, and led Lavrinenko beside him out of the trench, and walked into an observation post near the front of the position, which was a battalion-level command post. So, after briefly greeting the comrades inside, he raised the telescope in his hand.

"There are a lot of hard bones within the range that can be seen with the naked eye. Look, there are a lot of gray bulges crossing the horizon at the eleven o'clock direction. They are the turtle shells of the Germans, one after another. The concrete structure is always equipped with fortifications, and 80% of them can only make a hole in the wall if hit by 152 shells.”

"And directly ahead, there is something not right about those bomb craters in front of the German position. Have you noticed? Some of them look like they have been smoothed out. I guess mines were laid again last night. If you don't pay attention to these, you will be in trouble later."

There is no night vision equipment these days, and you can't use a big light to go around and check the battlefield at night. Regardless of whether it is the leader's division or the Germans not far away from the opposite side, they can only guard their respective positions and open their eyes. With big eyes, be careful not to make sneak attacks in the middle of the night or touch the whistle and grab your tongue.

There was no big movement. The German guy who was dealt a terrible blow during the day yesterday was quite honest at night, and everything was fine all night long.

But being honest to the leader division does not mean that the Germans will be honest to their own defense line. It is still necessary to seize the time to strengthen the defense on the newly formed contact line between the enemy and ourselves. It is still necessary to send engineers to quietly lay some mines in the middle of the night.

But the problem is that the strike firepower of the leading division yesterday was so strong that there was almost no complete land on the way to the Germans' third line of defense, which was the core defensive position, and it was all filled with large-caliber bomb craters. It was densely covered, which caused a lot of trouble for the German engineers to lay mines.

You have to have a complete ground layout for laying mines, right? Are there any eggs you can use to mine the crater? What tank driver doesn't know how to avoid bomb craters whenever possible? Not to mention that if the car breaks down and you can't get it out of the pit, even climbing into the pit will waste time, right? A slightly detoured attack speed is much faster than climbing pit after pit.

So the German engineers could only spend the night in the dark, leveling some relatively shallow craters and low-lying areas to lay mines, and created some traps that seemed difficult to see through, hoping that these traps would lure enough Russians. The tank takes the bait and gets more results.

For the Germans' behavior of looking for trouble and taking off their pants to fart, Malashenko, who was both angry and amused, just wanted to say one thing: You are useless.

With a grim smile on his face, Malashenko glanced at his watch and estimated that the time was about right, so he immediately told Lavrinenko to get in the car and get ready to work.

Just when Malashenko and Lavrinenko parted ways and just returned to their car, they saw Iushkin and his brothers who had finished their work with paint buckets and brushes, smiling and talking there.

"You know what, it looks really good! Well done!"

"Of course, look at who I am. When I was in school, I was considered a role model because of my beautiful homework."

"Hey, stop bragging. What can this thing do? We are about to start fighting. If it doesn't work and the car is damaged, it will be terrible."

"Don't worry, it's no problem. I went to Karamov to get it. I know him and have some friendship with him. He has to give me, the deputy commander, a favor. He assured me that this is the fastest drying paint he can find. It will dry quickly after being blown by the wind for two times. I heard that they used it to repaint the battle damage recovery vehicle before. The reason why it dries quickly is that they can return the vehicle to restore its combat effectiveness earlier. I think it will be fine and can catch up. "

Iushkin was very proud of himself and showed off his "homework" that he had just completed. He also came to disturb Malashenko's sweet dream early in the morning before dawn, saying that he wanted to refresh the slogan and paint "Leningrad Avenger" on the car, so he painted it on the only remaining space behind the emblem of the leader division on the left armor of the turret, just enough to make up.

Malashenko, who was still quite sleepy, thought about it again and again, and it seemed that it was not a big deal. There was nothing wrong with the slogan itself, so he yawned and nodded sleepily.

Iushkin, who was so happy that his mouth was as big as a lotus at that moment, ran away on the spot. I guess he should have told his brothers to start working quickly.

Now thinking about this, Malashenko stood behind Iushkin and his brothers who didn't notice his arrival at all, silently watching the newly painted "Leningrad Avenger" slogan on the turret. A spontaneous thought lingered in his mind, outlining the memories that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and once again strengthened his already determined will.

"We still have a final account to settle, Nazi. The blood debt owed to Kirill, Leningrad, and all my comrades, I will make you pay double, with interest."
