Chapter 2455 This Is Just the Beginning

"This is 218, call number 218! We have broken through the outer positions, are destroying the enemy, and are ready to move forward!"

"Fire cover! Let those 152 open fire, aim at the fascist bunkers and blow them up directly, fire cover!"

"Follow up, enter the trenches! Quick!"

The IS6 heavy tanks that broke through the front rolled up their wide tracks and crushed the German edge defense line and rushed to the position. The BMP43 infantry fighting vehicles that followed closely behind, and the ISU152\A self-propelled artillery, output firepower to the maximum extent, suppressing any target that can be called a "threat" within the field of vision with direct firepower.

Countless infantry soldiers who jumped out of the infantry fighting vehicles and carried various light weapons in their hands jumped into the trenches again, picked up the weapons in their hands, and without saying a word, began to fight fiercely with the fascist fanatics in the trenches who were not dead yet, or who were still planning to fight to the death, and the cold light flashed in the rain of bullets.

Tearing open the gap in the enemy's frontal defense line and sending the first wave of troops into the position is just the first step for Malashenko or the entire leadership division.

Malashenko clearly knows that the enemy group entrenched here is definitely not so easy to deal with. If he does not use all his strength and go all out, he may suffer in the end. Even if the current situation develops smoothly, he must not take it lightly.

"Pay attention to the rhythm of the attack! Don't be greedy for the speed of the assault! All units should keep up in an orderly manner and cover the advance alternately. Don't let those Nazis seize the flaws!"

Knowing that his troops are eager to fight and have a stronger desire to survive, Malashenko, who is always worried about the disconnection of the offensive rhythm of the troops and downgrading the synthetic battle to a single-arms assault, did not forget to remind his commanders at all levels to pay more attention to changes in the battlefield situation and command carefully.

But even so, the unexpected situation was still quickly transmitted to Malashenko's ears through the radio, which caught him off guard.

"Something is not right. The enemy's resistance is very slight. We hardly encountered any resistance, and there were not even many corpses and debris."

""

The position was not so far forward, but slightly behind. Malashenko, who led his guard tank company in the central command and followed the vanguard troops, frowned. He did not expect the extremely abnormal situation of minimal enemy resistance.

The artillery plowed the land for a round, and the aviation horizontal bombing followed with another wave of finishing blows. These pre-set combat strikes have indeed been implemented and completed.

However, this seemingly powerful double firepower strike preparation is definitely not enough to be a reason or excuse for "the Germans are all dead, so the resistance is slight." Malashenko is far from being so naive.

"Stay alert and keep moving forward! Effectively control the positions that have been captured, and all units must be on guard against possible counterattacks from the enemy."

There must be something wrong with the abnormal situation, but Malashenko is currently unable to determine what the Germans are up to, but this does not mean that Malashenko does not know the solution.

"Let me see what you are going to use to meet strength, fascists."

Strength is the capital of self-confidence, and confidence is the driving force to push the offensive forward.

Rather than being anxious and nervous about unknown conspiracies, it is better to say that Malashenko is now very much looking forward to what kind of conspiracy the Germans have prepared to counter his strength and what tricks they can use.

The degree of the battle is already fierce, but it is only fierce on the one side of the leader division. The Germans who are "being fierce" can never get excited. The limited and tiny resistance was quickly crushed one by one by the leader division under the powerful synthetic offensive.

The defensive positions that have been destroyed by artillery fire and bombing and can hardly be effectively used are also being rapidly eroded and captured. From a high-altitude bird's-eye view, they are becoming the actual control area of ​​the leader division's steel torrent at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The seemingly calm and orderly battle continued until the radio signal came. It was not until then that Malashenko, who was holding the microphone and listening, finally knew the reason why the strange behavior of the Germans confused him.

"The front-line bombing aviation reported that they did not see obvious signs of a large number of enemies on the position during the bombing, but still dropped bombs on the target according to the scheduled task. How is the situation on your side? Did you encounter any abnormalities?"

Listening to the familiar voice of the political commissar on the radio, Malashenko, who was convinced that some of his guesses in his heart were basically true, suddenly realized.

"I know where the problem is. There are indeed abnormalities, but everything is under control. Leave it to me to handle it."

""

When the political commissar standing in front of the radio station holding the microphone in the division headquarters heard this, he couldn't say anything more. Try to say as little nonsense as possible in radio communication. This is not a two-hour phone call with a close friend. I believe that Malashenko can handle it well. The political commissar just said briefly.

"Be careful and keep in touch."

"Got it!"

Pah--

There is a saying that a skilled steelworker would not put his head under the steel gate for maintenance. He would put his head in a safe place to work. Even if the work was not convenient or convenient, he would not risk his life to work.

The Germans understood this and put it into practice.

Until the outermost defensive position was almost completely taken, the German ambushes that might appear at any time, or the German reinforcements that might come at any time, did not appear, which is enough to explain a problem.

The answer is already very obvious, just as Malashenko thought.

The Germans, who had suffered a great loss in the artillery preparation in yesterday's battle, learned to be smart today.

Even at the risk of losing a precious and few remaining defensive positions, they still withdrew the troops deployed in the first outermost position, leaving only a small number of troops to nominally "control the position".

Maybe the Germans imagined that they would return to defend after the artillery preparation was over, and send the temporarily withdrawn troops back to defend the position, and use the small number of scattered troops left in the position to delay for a while to buy time.

This is theoretically feasible, but it is for ordinary Red Army troops.

The attack speed of the leader division, which is fully mechanized, initially synthesized, and has used all its strength today, is unimaginable for any old-fashioned army that has never seen the world.

It would be better to give up directly when seeing that there is no hope of returning for help, or simply give up the outermost position at the beginning and not plan to return for defense.

After finishing off the first wave of Germans, Malashenko did not intend to stop, knowing that the real blood-wrenching battle was just about to begin in the next defensive position.
