Chapter 2859 There Are Still Many Empty Spaces on the Lamp Posts
"There is no time to wait any longer, we are going to cross the Moltke Bridge tonight.
Malashenko has arrived at the forward command post very close to the Spree River. Malashenko, who has just arrived here, is discussing countermeasures with his division leadership team on how to make good use of what is currently at hand. Take advantage of a surprise attack and cross the Spree River as quickly as possible.
"The situation between ourselves and the enemy is still unfavorable to us. The other side of the bridgehead where the detonators are installed is still firmly in the hands of the enemy. The large number of obstacles and garbage on the Moltke Bridge makes it impossible for heavy armored troops to attack frontally. , the only difference from this morning is that now we have captured at least one side of the bridgehead and established a basic offensive starting position, so"
Lavrinenko, who was looking back and forth at the map on the table, paused and then turned his attention to Malashenko.
"Do you have any good ideas? Now is the time to speak out."
The current situation between ourselves and the enemy is a foregone conclusion, and everything will be fixed the moment the sun sets at dusk.
If Malashenko wants to cross the river and capture the Moltke Bridge tonight, then the current situation is time to make a decision.
Hearing Lavrinenko's words, he always had a plan in his mind, but due to the changing and uncertain situation between the enemy and ourselves, Malashenko was never able to finalize it. At this moment, it is indeed possible to reveal the final plan to everyone.
"Surprise attack, there is no other way except surprise attack. Whether you can rush through by force and how to clear the garbage are all problems, not to mention casualties and losses. More importantly, it is too dangerous for Maoqi Bridge. We can't lose it. Once the Nazis jump over the wall and choose to blow up the bridge, it will be all over."
"But the most important thing is the implementation details. How to successfully carry out this surprise attack is the key among the keys."
"The Wehrmacht paratroopers on our side have actually been wiped out, but the SS on the bridgehead on the other side don't know that. They themselves belong to different command and combat systems, and there are still deep gaps between them. If not necessary We must make good use of this information gap to make something happen.”
"Um"
The political commissar who could probably guess what Malashenko planned to do nodded. Combined with some of what Malashenko had done during the day, a rough guess seemed to have taken shape in the political commissar's mind.
"Are you planning to send the troops across those two pontoon bridges?"
"Yes, but it's more than that, I have plans for more."
While admitting, he did not forget to pick up the pencil on the table and point to the target on the map - the two floating bridges. Malashenko, who had carefully thought about many details, then continued to speak.
“Through the emergency interrogation of the prisoners, we learned some very important information.
"Every night at twelve o'clock, there will be a "deal" between the Wehrmacht here and the SS on the other side of the bridge. Well, the Germans themselves call this a "deal." It's a slang, a code name, you can call it whatever you want. What they actually did was evacuate the wounded on one side, and send some ammunition and supplies on the other side. This was their "deal."
"You want to take advantage of this? But the SS scum across the way know that the ferry has been captured by us, and they handed over a lot of corpses at the ferry today. If we go there in a big way at this time, I'm afraid they won't believe it, even if we change The skin is also hanging.”
"So now it's time to have some fun. This is not something that can be solved by following the rules."
Facing Lavrinenko's question, the confident Malashenko immediately blurted out his planned method.
"We have their contact code, time, location, everything we need and want."
"Get in touch with the SS scum across the river and say 'we' will try to break out tonight and a small crack force will try to infiltrate and destroy the Russian outposts and then cross the river secretly. Ask them, the SS, Provide certain cooperation and support, be prepared to respond, and at least don't shoot at "friendly forces", this is the most basic thing."
""
Malashenko's plan was very bold, and the risk was almost proportional to the courage. Even the experienced political commissar frowned a little after hearing this.
"But this is not enough to dispel the enemy's concerns, comrade division commander. The contradictions and estrangements between the SS and the Wehrmacht are very deep. I think the enemy will still doubt this. It is just a matter of degree."
"Any war involves risks. If there are no risks, it's not a war. It's just like a little kid pinching the mud in his urine."
It's not that Comrade Lao Ma doesn't give face to Comrade Political Commissar, it's just that he has made up his mind.
And after thinking about it, other than this method of surprise attack, I couldn't find any better or safer way.
“The more similar the acting is, the higher the probability of success.”
"For this we need professional actors, professional crew, professional dubbing artists, and even the cooperation of those Germans who take the initiative to surrender to us."
"Hasn't their Marshal Paulus already given them an example? This group of people is much less resistant now. Some people even take the initiative to ask us if we need help in order to get rid of the crime. Now is the time."
One thing is certain.
When it comes to the ability to do "clean work", no one in the entire leading division dares to say that he is better than the division commander. Malashenko has more "hard work" in his head than the tanks of the leading division.
"You plan to use those prisoners who surrendered to us? Is this safe? What if they-"
"I understand what you mean, Lavery. But think about it from another perspective, who are those people on the other side of the bridge? They are a group of people who even after shouting from the trumpet all day, scattering leaflets all over the ground, and having their photos spread all over the street, A Nazi fanatic who is still determined to fight to the end and will never surrender.”
"This bunch of bastards have always had trouble with the National Defense Forces. They think they are weak-minded, cowardly, and shameless traitors."
"If they knew that those losers of the Wehrmacht who ran to surrender and begged for their lives in order to surrender to the Russians during the day, even at the cost of copying and shooting their own people, were back, guess what they would do? Do they still recognize this so-called Comrade?"
"I think anyone with a normal mind would not comment on a question that even a primary school student knows the answer to."
"In the same way, the National Defense Forces who came to surrender to us are not stupid. Since they are willing to do this, it means that they have not been brainwashed, have the ability to think independently, and have the basic logical thinking of normal people."
"They will understand what kind of tragic end awaits them after making a choice they shouldn't have made. There are still many empty spots on the telephone poles and street light poles in the Capitol area, and the SS will not mind hanging some on them. The sworn enemy of the Wehrmacht is a coward.”
"As long as you explain the words clearly to them and explain the truth to them clearly, it is still inseparable from the most important issue. This is the core key."
"The National Defense Forces brought guns and surrendered to us. They did not seek death for the sake of longevity. Their only desire was to live."
"As long as we understand and keep this in mind, we can predict their choices and actions, which is not difficult."
