Chapter 2599 You Are the 177th Crew

But, as the old saying goes.

The battle situation is not fixed, just like stocks, it changes dynamically every minute and every second, and Malashenko certainly knows this. That's why he always pays attention to the battle situation and waits for something to happen.

What Malashenko is waiting for is when the "main attack direction" can be played out.

That's right, in Malashenko's view, the main attack direction of this battle is not formulated by plan, but is played out in the dynamic battle according to the actual situation.

Which siege force has the smoothest progress, the fastest advancement speed, and the highest combat efficiency, then according to the ultimate goal of "quick battle, quick decision, and take this city area at the fastest speed" to judge and evaluate, the most combat-efficient siege force should be the main attack force.

What do you say then?

Then of course, what Malashenko wants to do now and has actually done with actual actions.

Invest in decisive support and rapid mobile support forces to greatly strengthen the combat strength of the siege troops in the main attack direction in the shortest time, and strive to achieve a practical breakthrough in dynamic operations before the Germans react.

The world's martial arts can only be defeated by speed, and the battle is about speed.

This is not only the attack speed of the troops, but also the reinforcement speed of the mobile forces, and it also tests the commander's reaction speed and the actual reaction speed of the rapid reaction force.

The leader division has already won the city defense once in the initial attack speed. Now Malashenko has to win once and twice in the speed of the rapid reaction force and his own command reaction speed, adding up to a total of three wins. Today, I, Malashenko, will step on your German corpse to win!

"After entering the city, each vehicle group should maintain formation and move forward at a constant speed. Our goal is to meet up with the siege troops in front as soon as possible, and then launch an assault on the Nazi core defense zone."

"We are not expected to encounter the enemy or a small number of remaining troops along the way. Please stay alert! Be ready to engage the enemy at any time according to my command, and the infantry of each vehicle should also be ready."

Malachenko was still holding the transmitter to give orders to the reinforcement troops he led personally. The huge No. 177 IS7 heavy tank, which was like a moving mountain, was running on the road. Regardless of the amazing weight of 70 tons and the steel tracks without rubber, even the road surface was rolled up. Wherever the IS7 passed, two deep tracks would definitely be left.

Ivushkin, who was completely unaware of the problem of "damaging the road surface" and felt a much more comfortable driving experience than before, now has two "good comments" to say.

"Do you know what I like most about street fighting? I love the feeling of fighting on paved roads."

"Look, the gun mirror hardly shakes at all, it's so stable, okay? Even if I don't stop now, I can kill the Nazi tin cans 200 meters away with one shot, and I'm sure I'll hit it with the first shot."

It's not that Iushkin is bragging. Iushkin, who has the supreme title of "the strongest gunner of the leader division", has this ability, and it's not bragging. What he says, everyone really believes.

However, the driver Seryosha, who also recalled the scene of the street fighting in Stalingrad, now has something else to say, and it is a "negative view" that is different from Iushkin's.

"You won't feel this way after a while. By then, the roads in the city will be full of cement slag and brick and stone ruins, and even collapsed floors and exterior walls. When things get bad, even heavy tanks can't get through and have to take detours. I can't forget the days in Stalingrad. Even if there was no construction waste, the roads were bumpy and difficult to drive on."

"This good time won't last too long. If you want to enjoy it, you'd better seize this good time. I bet the city's bad battle will come soon."

Iushkin is not the only veteran who fought in the Battle of Stalingrad in this car. Seryosha was also one of the founding members of the No. 177 crew. He fought for countless days and nights in that "purgatory city burning with blood and fire" and fought the whole game from beginning to end.

As soon as Seryosha said this, Comrade Iushkin was a little unhappy, and it was almost written on his face.

"Tsk, I know that, can't you say something nice to make me happy? We're about to fight, and keeping a good mood will help me perform, do you understand?"

"No one knows more than you, you know everything, no one knows more than you, you know more than the commander."

"This Suka."

They started to talk after just a few words, which is one of the "traditional skills" of the No. 177 crew since its establishment.

Although Malashenko, the commander, did not participate as usual and was still busy with his own work, the two new members of the No. 177 crew seemed quite interested.

"Hey, what was the street fighting in Stalingrad like? We have only heard that it was very, very tragic, but we have never seen it with our own eyes. Will the battle in Berlin be fought like that?"

It is not surprising that Artyom, the main loader, can ask this question now.

Whether it is the main loader Artyom or the deputy loader Sergei.

These two new comrades who joined the No. 177 crew only in the later stage of the Red Army's strategic counter-offensive had indeed never experienced the Battle of Stalingrad, nor had they seen with their own eyes what the scene was like, which was like hell coming alive on earth.

Like the vast majority of their comrades among the millions of Red Army soldiers, their knowledge of the Battle of Stalingrad was limited to newspapers and magazines published within the Red Army, various internal reference materials, war histories, and those things that were publicly told to people through propaganda loudspeakers, or oral fragments passed down by word of mouth among comrades to try to understand and know.

But one thing everyone knows is that all of the above methods are one-sided and incomplete.

No matter when, what you see or hear in newspapers, magazines or loudspeakers is a "customized version" suitable for most people to see.

This does not mean that this "customized version" is not the truth or is false, but it is more or less different from the complete cognition in the true sense, and there are indeed some partial differences.

Hearing Artyom behind him asking this question, it was indeed evoked many memories that spanned a long time. Iushkin, who remembered the past again, then slowly spoke.

"It was not an experience worth bragging about, Artyom. It was even a little embarrassing to look back on."

"As for what the commander said, I still remember it very clearly."

"It was a glorious and heroic battle and a great victory for the Red Army. But when the whole battle fell on the head of a soldier, there were too many things that he didn't want to experience again, but if he encountered it again, he would do it without hesitation, just like now."
