Chapter 2912 Flag

Needless to say, Kurbalov's words were "very inside" as soon as he opened his mouth.

As an old superior and leader who had been with the "lame brigade commander" day and night, Malashenko immediately realized that his capable general had some small ideas.

But it doesn't matter. After all, those strong, huge and destructive war machines are naturally extremely lethal to passionate men, and this is true for both ordinary people and serious soldiers.

Strictly speaking, the lethality and conquering power of these cold iron guys on pure men are really greater than that of beautiful opposite sex.

Kurbalov's current state is naturally the same.

"Want to get these big guys to your hands to make you feel good?"

Malashenko was straightforward and hit the nail on the head. Kurbalov, who was guessed through his little thoughts, seemed a little embarrassed.

"You are right, that's the case, comrade division commander."

"Think about it, the 203 heavy artillery is mounted on a vehicle and is covered with heavy armor with the same level of protection as the IS7. We never dreamed that we could make such a strong assault equipment. Tomorrow's battle is the last chance. If we miss it, we may never have the chance to see this thing put into actual combat in our lifetime. It's really hard to say."

"I don't mean anything else. I just want to seize the opportunity, open my eyes and get started, so I want to make a small request.

Kulbarov is a calm but not rigid person who has a relaxed command style. The brigade commander was sent to the position, and he was embarrassed to say such things. Malashenko knew that this was the limit.

After all, he didn't climb up by kneeling, giving gifts, and using connections to get in through the back door. He climbed up with real knives and guns, stuffing the stinky meat of the Nazis into the tracks and grinding them.

It is obviously unrealistic to expect the latter to have the communication level of the former. His mind is basically on "how to better crush the Nazis".

"Okay, I'll satisfy you in the last battle. Your brigade has indeed made great efforts and suffered heavy losses recently. This experience ticket belongs to you."

"I will draft an order when I go back. The command of the 203 self-propelled artillery company of the division will be temporarily delegated to your brigade. You can decide which siege unit to assign it to according to the combat deployment of your brigade, but I guess it should be the Volga River unit, right? "

The Volga River Siege Squadron is the one where the Arsim Company is located.

It is also the siege squadron with the strongest comprehensive strength, the most high-performance technical equipment, the largest proportion of veterans, and the best actual combat results among the three siege squadrons organized under the Kurbalov Brigade. It can be said to be the top spearhead unit of the leader division in this Berlin campaign.

Although the Volga River Siege Squadron was withdrawn for temporary rest, this was an order issued by Malashenko not long ago.

But firstly, Malashenko did not clearly state how long the rest would last, nor did he say that the Volga River Siege Squadron was not allowed to participate in the next battle, which is still uncertain.

Secondly, the Volga River Siege Squadron The team has fought through hardships and difficulties all the way to the core area of ​​Berlin, and finally reached this point today; and strictly speaking, it is only combat fatigue and relatively large losses, and has not yet reached the point where it has lost combat effectiveness and must be forced to retreat and rest.

Fighting another limited-intensity, short-term assault on a single target building should be within an acceptable range, and there is enough capacity to complete the task.

More importantly, Malashenko is sitting in the position of division commander, and he must consider some higher-level important matters.

For example, the honor of capturing the Reichstag Honor, who should be awarded it? This is an absolute top honor that can literally go down in history.

In terms of strength alone, there is nothing much to say. All the existing siege teams of the leader division can complete this combat mission. Even if you randomly select a siege team to rush down the lonely broken Capitol, it can rush down.

So it is a reasonable choice for the Volga River siege team, which fought the most fiercely and achieved the most results during the Battle of Berlin.

It is also Malashenko’s subjective inclination towards the old team he brought up. It is indeed mixed with some personal feelings, which is undeniable.

Malashenko finally chose the Volga River siege team. The siege squad will take on this top honor and go down in history. This has been determined in advance.

Even if Kurbalov did not take the opportunity of "who will be assigned to the heavy artillery company" to ask indirectly, Malashenko's decision would not change.

Kurbalov wanted to use the logical thinking of "whoever is assigned to the heavy artillery company will be responsible for attacking the Capitol" to determine whether his brigade could receive this honor. This time, Malashenko hit the nail on the head again.

However, he did not think much about it. It was a great event anyway, so he simply spoke about his arrangements in excitement and joy.

"Yes, comrade division commander, let them go if they are confirmed. No matter how you look at it, they are the most suitable team for this honor. After a short rest, they have recovered the strength to at least win this battle smoothly."

"I am ready to issue the combat order as soon as you confirm it. Everything is ready. ”

“Hmm”

The answer was as expected, but Malashenko seemed to be thinking about something else, and then he took the initiative to speak again.

"Take me to their detachment's base. It's just a matter of time. Anyway, I was going there originally. I have prepared some things for them."

The things to be sent had been prepared and packed by Malashenko in advance, and were placed in his convoy ready to be sent at any time.

Since it happened to be on the way now, Malashenko was too lazy to go back to the division headquarters and make a second trip. He simply came out and got everything done in one go.

The division commander took the initiative to make a request, and Kulbarov, as the brigade commander, naturally obeyed the order.

However, when the convoy finally stopped at the Volga River siege detachment's base, Malashenko got out of the car and personally went to the back of the truck that was loaded with goods, personally pulled out a box and opened it, and presented it to everyone.

Kurbalov, who had never expected to see such a "holy object", was stunned on the spot. He stared at the lines of large characters on the thing unfolded in Malashenko's hand, his jaw opened in astonishment, and forgot to blink for a moment.

"The 8th Army of the 1st Belarusian Front, the Moscow-Berlin 1st Tank Division of the Guards Red Banner, which was awarded the title of "Stalin" leader"

As above, this is the main text content on this military flag. The red background and white characters plus the sickle and hammer five-pointed star pattern in the upper left corner are in sharp contrast and extremely eye-catching.

Kurbalov certainly knew the purpose of this flag, and also understood what this custom-made military flag meant. The indescribable excitement was already overflowing.

And Malashenko, who had already prepared it in advance and was waiting to distribute it at this moment, not only spread his arms and showed the flag himself, but also asked the comrades around him.

"I proposed the design, the copy was written by Comrade Political Commissar, and the honor was personally signed by Comrade Stalin. How do you feel about it? Not bad, right?"
