Chapter 2472 But There Is Still a Problem
"I heard you've got some problems, Malashenko."
""
Without any extra words, Zhukov came right to the point and said this, which made Malashenko stunned and blinked.
"Damn, which bastard is so quick to speak? I haven't reported to Chuikov yet, but Zhukov has called. Fuck"
Of course, the above content is only limited to thinking in his mind. Malashenko would never say this directly on the phone.
As a division commander, Malashenko still has a plan for what to say now.
"It's just a little trouble, which can be said to be insignificant. We already have a corresponding solution here and are preparing to launch a new round of offensive. The established goals will not change or waver in the slightest and must be resolutely and thoroughly completed. "
Although he said so, what he actually thought in his heart was another matter.
Honestly speaking, Malashenko cannot come up with the "optimal solution" in the traditional sense. The current plan is just a slight adjustment based on the original combat plan, and the rocket assault battalion, which was reluctant to be deployed at the beginning due to the loss problem, is put into battle.
Although this can greatly enhance the direct firepower strike capability of the leader division, the risks that come with it are the same. Malashenko cannot enjoy the firepower bonus while perfectly avoiding the risks. Such a good thing only exists in the ideal, not on the battlefield.
In essence, we can only say that the current combat objectives should be completed first, and then Only then can we discuss the specific issues of how to proceed in the next step.
If we are stuck on this Zelo Heights and fail to complete the task within the specified time, it will be meaningless to talk about how much strength I have left to fight the Battle of Berlin. If the pre-tasks are not completed, what post-tasks can you talk about? Malashenko, who was forced to do nothing, could only resort to this last resort and hoped that it would be effective.
Malashenko's voice gradually fell, but Zhukov on the other end of the phone did not reply for a long time, which made our old comrade Ma holding the microphone, feeling uneasy and a little scared, but he did not expect Zhukov to suddenly speak in the next second.
"It is good to be determined, and I agree with this, Malashenko."
"But if, I mean if, if there is anything that needs help, I think it is not a bad thing to say it at the right time, what do you think? "
""
Zhukov said it as tactfully as possible, but Malashenko still heard it as a hint in an instant, and the only target could only be himself.
Sometimes, it takes a lot of courage to say a word, which is often derived from difficult things that are hard to talk about, just like Malashenko now.
Although there are reasons for hesitation and even denial based on multiple considerations in terms of emotions and reality, after a brief ideological struggle and anxious thinking, Malashenko, whose reason prevailed, finally mustered up the courage and said that word.
"You are right, Comrade Commander, I apologize for my hesitation and concealment just now."
"The reality is that I am indeed planning to invest in the last heavy firepower support unit of the leader's division. After this unit is invested, I will no longer have any heavy firepower support available. "
"Although I still have a lot of reserve troops, this is undoubtedly the "offensive peak" that the current leader division can reach without more heavy firepower support. This is the strongest offensive energy we can currently provide in the combat environment of Zelo Heights."
Malachenko briefly explained the troubles he was currently facing and the corresponding solutions. Zhukov on the other end of the phone thought about it for a while and quickly gave an answer.
"I see. I understand."
"I wonder if you have thought of a question, Malachenko. If you still cannot achieve a breakthrough after reaching such an "offensive peak", what are you going to do next? Do you plan to continuously invest your reserve troops to fill the line and mince meat with those Nazis, or do you plan to ask for support from Chuikov or directly call me? "
"I know you will not stop the attack and admit defeat. You will not do that with your personality. So I believe you should choose between these two results. What will you choose? Malachenko. ”
“”
As Malashenko’s mentor and the most important promoter, Zhukov is familiar with Malashenko’s personality, knows his combat style, and can guess what Malashenko will probably do in certain situations.
As soon as this question was asked, Malashenko was speechless.
After holding the microphone for several seconds and thinking carefully, even his palms were sweating, Malashenko, who was sure that he had come up with the answer, finally spoke again.
“I think it will be the latter, Comrade Commander. Although the battle situation has encountered some difficulties, it is far from making me lose my mind. I know clearly what to do now and in the near future, and I am actively preparing for it with long-term planning. We don’t have time and extra troops to play the meat grinder game with the Germans on this damn high ground. If the situation reaches a point of no choice, I will definitely ask my superiors for reinforcements. It is always more meaningful to face reality positively than to be angry and subconsciously irrational. ”
“”
"I'm glad to hear that you think so, Malashenko. You have already mastered the basics necessary for a senior commander, rather than just a major general who has just entered the threshold. This is good news."
Huh, it's really great that you can say that, big brother.
Malashenko thought so in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could put the stone in his heart down, Zhukov on the other end of the phone immediately changed the subject and continued to speak.
"But there is still a question"
"Why do we have to wait until the situation is absolutely necessary? Have I restricted the conditions for you to apply for support? Have I required you to achieve certain goals to be eligible for support? No."
"Then you don't need to wait until the situation is absolutely necessary to apply for support. Whether you want to show the strength of the leadership division or have other plans, you must understand that the battle we are experiencing will be the countdown battle before the complete destruction of Nazi Germany. The tenacity of the enemy we encounter cannot be underestimated."
"Now that we have made it clear what we want to say to each other, make your request, Malashenko, you know what to do and I am sure you will make the right choice now."
""
Having said this, Malashenko, who didn't know what Zhukov meant, swallowed lightly and blurted out the words that he had been organizing just now.
