Chapter 3011 Germans Ask for a Meeting

Chen Weiguo has heard many stories about Malashenko and his comrades.

The German prisoners who feared him said that Malashenko killed people everywhere and was bloodthirsty. Even if the mountains and plains were full of dead German bodies, he would not even blink an eye, and would order his men to drive tanks over them, turning the bodies of German soldiers into two-dimensional paper people.

Few people could see him with their own eyes and come back alive to tell other German soldiers about their experiences.

Generally speaking, there are two kinds of fates for the Germans who have seen the "Iron Butcher" with their own eyes. The first one is the vast majority of cases, that is, they become one of the corpses lying on the ground and are humanely destroyed on the battlefield.

The second situation is slightly better, at least they can save their lives, that is, go to the prisoner-of-war camp and brag to other German prisoners of war. They talk about what they saw Malashenko with their own eyes and talk about what the legendary Iron Butcher who kills without blinking an eye looks like.

There are too many things in this world that have two sides, and the evaluation of Malashenko is the same.

In addition to the rumors of "Iron Butcher" that the enemy spread in fear, fear, and panic, in the Soviet Union's own propaganda, Malashenko is a true superhero and a crusher of the German elite troops.

He is a "tank warrior" who will defeat the German army wherever he goes, and his comrades will usher in the news of a great victory.

After hearing a lot of rumors, Chen Weiguo, who has been trained in the Soviet Union for a long time, even specially collected various news about Malashenko and his comrades. And compiled it into a book, which is convenient for his own research and can also be given to other comrades in the Anti-Japanese United Army to learn.

But it's like seeing Malashenko in person for the first time, and he was very surprised and felt that it was completely different from his previous imagination.

When I first saw Malashenko's troops, the leader army that was rumored to have crushed countless German elites and accepted all the Wehrmacht and SS troops.

Chen Weiguo found that his previous imagination, guesses, and estimates were all wrong, completely wrong, and very wrong.

Various armored vehicles were lined up on the Far Eastern grasslands in spring, from the front to the end of the horizon on the hillside, and there was no telling how many there were after the line of sky connecting the sky and the earth.

Countless Red Army soldiers were busy in front of their tanks, carrying ammunition, maintaining and repairing, and preparing vehicles.

Or they had just started to warm up their cars and were ready to go to the test site to check the maintenance effect; or they had just returned from the test site, roaring with huge diesel engine noise and emitting black smoke, and parked their beloved cars in this steel torrent in a neat line.

What is more cars than people?

Chen Weiguo probably thought this was it.

Most of the unmanned tanks and armored vehicles were parked there quietly, with no trace of the soldiers, and only a small number of vehicles were surrounded by people.

Chen Weiguo, who was moved by the scene, couldn't help but think of the most difficult years of the War of Resistance. Even if the comrades of the Anti-Japanese United Army had an armed force of thousands of people, they would have been a great force and a strong army that bravely fought against the Japanese invaders.

But now, Chen Weiguo felt that the tanks and armored vehicles in front of him were almost the same, even if there were not thousands of them. The momentum of this scene was something he dared not even dream of.

Thousands of people still made the Japanese army fearful and headache, and they regarded the Anti-Japanese United Army as their number one enemy and tried their best to strangle them.

What about the thousand tanks and armored vehicles? What was the concept for the Japanese army?

Chen Weiguo didn't dare to think about it, and couldn't think from the perspective of the Japanese army. How desperate would it be, if these beasts could really feel despair.

Finally, I understood why those trembling German prisoners who were shaking when they spoke were so afraid of the "steel butcher".

To be enemies with such a torrent of steel, survived the absolute destruction.

Chen Weiguo felt that the German prisoners did not go crazy and could maintain basic rationality and logic to speak tremblingly, which was something that only people with strong will could do.

"Heavy synthetic mechanized troops are different from traditional troops, Weiguo."

"Tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, although these big guys are powerful and frightening to the enemy, their motorized hours are very precious, just like people, they must rest and maintain after working for a certain period of time, otherwise there will be big problems."

"So generally speaking, we will save the working time of these steel comrades until they are most needed. If there is no war or the battle preparation stage, the tank soldiers will conduct some other training, such as over there, look."

Following Malashenko's words and the direction of his finger, Chen Weiguo saw a group of Red Army tank soldiers wearing tank caps and iconic features, running and training around the equipment camp. The slogans they shouted while running echoed on the grassland, and the lingering sound lasted for a long time.

"Tank soldiers are also soldiers. The battle of tank soldiers is not as simple as sitting in the tank and pressing buttons to easily destroy the enemy in a flick of a finger."

"Fighting in a tank with high temperature and small space for a long time is a great test of the soldiers' will, endurance and physical strength."

"You see them running exercises now, but the real meaning of running exercises is to temper their will, exercise their bodies, continuously improve their physical strength, and temper their endurance into steel in a harsh training environment.

"As long as a war machine is carefully maintained and fully prepared, it can withstand the test of high-intensity fire on the battlefield and last for a long time. But people are not necessarily the same. Unqualified people will drag down the equipment, and no matter how good the weapons and equipment are, they will be unqualified. No one can win the battle."

"Everyone knows that our leadership army is as powerful as a crusher, but without these outstanding soldiers, the leadership army would not be the leadership army, and I would not be Malashenko today. It is these outstanding soldiers, The brave comrades made me Malashenko’s honor as a soldier, it was not I who made them.”

"Being able to work with them, fight side by side to defend justice, and fight for lofty ideals is my greatest wealth. It was the same in the past, it will be the same today, and it will be the same in the future. ”

No matter how advanced the weapons and equipment are, wars still need people to fight them.

Human beings rely on war to make profits, defend, and practice their ideals, beliefs, and goals. Then war must be carried out according to human will and ability. Talents are the purest essence of war.

This is what Malashenko hopes Chen Weiguo can understand.

Don’t be pessimistic just because the weapons and equipment are not good. On the contrary, don’t be arrogant just because the weapons and equipment are powerful.

Just like when faced with an opponent like the Kwantung Army, which had too little meat to fill its teeth, the leading army also used all its strength to bring all the equipment that could smash the Nazis to pieces to the Far East. This is the strategic emphasis on the enemy. One of the essence.

"In the past, I often felt that those extremely vicious Nas were defeated by your tactics, your ingenuity, your most elite warriors, and your most powerful equipment, but now I feel that these are not the answers."

Chen Weiguo sighed quietly, and the scene before him was enough to make him unforgettable for the rest of his life.

"Those Nazis don't even know what kind of opponent they are facing. They can't even know themselves and their enemies. How can a hundred battles win a hundred victories? All they have left is a single defeat."

After hearing this, Malashenko smiled and did not answer directly. He made an invitation gesture sideways and walked forward with Chen Weiguo.

"Indeed, your words hit the key to the problem."

"I have fought against countless elite troops for a long time, but whether they are the Wehrmacht or the SS, whether they are vicious scum or retain a trace of humanity, they all have one thing in common, you know What is it?”

Without waiting for Chen Weiguo to answer, Malashenko, who asked and answered his own questions, took the lead in speaking.

"As you said, the Germans have never truly understood their opponents thoroughly. They do not understand why the "Iron Butcher" troops can always defeat them repeatedly, and they cannot grasp the essence of the problem."

"They think that we are an army of workers and farmers, low-class people with muddy legs and the smell of engine oil and sweat all over their bodies. They think that we are a slave army driven like a group of captive animals to fight against them. Arrogantly They think it is their destiny to conquer rotten people like us.”

"Let's see how different this scene is from their perception."

"The enemies never really know me, don't understand, and don't understand why I can always defeat them time and time again. They don't know what I rely on to kill them."

"Then we make fuss about superficial issues that are not painful or itchy, and engage in so-called correction and improvement. It's like washing clothes but never taking a shower, not knowing whether you smell or not, and not knowing where the smell comes from. . You also hope that when you meet me next time, you can defeat me with fear and pessimism. If you don’t dare, just expect others to do it and just enjoy the results.”

"Tell me, Weiguo, facing such an enemy, how can I, Malashenko, be invincible?"

Although equipment is very important and indispensable, Malashenko clearly knows that he can win the battle and never relies entirely on equipment.

The enemy doesn't understand this, which is his own advantage.

But for Chen Weiguo, Malashenko hopes that he can understand this and apply it to his continued fighting in the future.

The road to the future is long and difficult, full of thorns and glory, and invisible weapons are more important than any aircraft or cannon.

"Actually, it's not just me, the comrades who defend the country and the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but also countless comrades who are fighting on the land of China. Isn't this the case when facing the Japanese aggressors and all kinds of enemies?"

"The enemy views us with prejudice and distorted and pathological stereotypes. It is not so much objective inability to understand, but subjective unwillingness to understand."

"Remember to stick to your faith and make good use of this invisible weapon. No matter how powerful the enemies you have to face in the future, no matter how crazy or overwhelming they are, I believe you will be able to win the final victory."

"Just because our enemies are subjectively unwilling to truly understand us and take us seriously, they will undoubtedly lose; just because I, Malashenko, can empathize with us, and because we are true comrades, I believe you will Can achieve final victory!"

Understand that Malashenko's words not only refer to the immediate battle, but also relate to the far-reaching future.

Chen Weiguo was grateful and didn't know what to say, but he saw that Malashenko had already reached out to pat his shoulder and took the lead in speaking up.

"Next, let's see what kind of price the Japanese, who know less about the leadership than the Germans, will pay for their stupidity."

Not only did he see the powerful military force with his eyes, but he also felt the power of faith with his heart.

Chen Weiguo, who had gained a lot in a short trip to the suburbs, strengthened his faith and firmly believed that General Malashenko and his comrades would be able to sweep away all the Japanese scum who dared to resist with a crushing force, and the real victory was about to come.

Malashenko sent Chen Weiguo to the guesthouse where he was staying, personally saw him off and waved goodbye, giving him the highest courtesy, doing everything he could think of and should do within his ability, and hoping that this would help this comrade who had the same ideals and beliefs.

"You seem to value him very much, Comrade General."

The battalion commander of the guard battalion who accompanied Malashenko spoke quietly after Malashenko returned to the car, with more or less a hint of confusion, in exchange for Malashenko's sigh.

"They have persisted in fighting in a far more difficult and harsh environment than us, and have been here till now. If you are willing to understand them, you will know that they are comrades with the same beliefs as us, and they are more worthy of respect."

Hearing Malashenko's words, he nodded quietly, and the thoughtful guard battalion commander immediately responded with a tone of execution.

"I understand, comrade commander, I will learn and understand our Chinese comrades."

After saying goodbye to Chen Weiguo, he returned to the military headquarters. As soon as he sat down in the office and his butt was not even warm, Malashenko waited for the duty secretary outside the door to report in.

"Comrade commander, someone wants to see you."

"Well, who is it?"

"Yes"

Looking up, he saw that the secretary looked embarrassed and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Malashenko, who could probably guess something, immediately answered himself.

"It's the Germans, right?"

"Yes, Comrade Commander."

"I see."

The situation was as expected. He guessed that since the person came to ask for a meeting, it must be that the things he had entrusted were done. Even if it was not done, at least there was a phased report. Malashenko, who really wanted to hear about the current situation, stood up.

"Bring the person here, I'll meet him here. Remember not to make things too difficult for him, just give him basic equal respect."

One update is ready, and there will be another update later
