Chapter 3235 Red Dawn (Part 1)

Malashenko, who led the team to the exercise venue, first arranged for Jack and his party to stay, and waited for the official observation of the exercise tomorrow.

He immediately rushed to the participating troops' base, first inspected the participating troops of the Leader Army led by Iushkin, followed by Wittmann's Seventh Tank Division, running back and forth.

It is not only Wittmann who came with the determination to win. Iushkin is the same. He is counting on this opportunity to show his meritorious service in front of the old tank commander.

This can be seen from the size and composition of the troops brought by Iushkin.

Iushkin not only brought the old troops that Malashenko brought up in the Great Patriotic War, which is now the 9th Guards Tank Division.

Because Malashenko served as the first division commander when the troops started, it was called the "Malashenko Division" to distinguish it from the "Leader Army" referred to today.

In addition to the strongest Guards Tank Division in the Soviet Army, which is under the leadership of the Leader Army, Iushkin, who was very generous and wanted to win, also brought the short-range ground-to-ground tactical ballistic missile brigade and the self-propelled artillery brigade of the newly expanded leadership of the leadership.

Facing Iushkin's "one division plus two brigades" "over-configuration", Malashenko, who felt that this was a bit excessive, couldn't help but smile at Iushkin.

"Wittmann only has one division, but you have the support of the leadership army. Why don't you bring the air defense brigade together? Count it in the attack force and let Wittmann flatten it together."

Knowing that the old tank commander was joking, he felt a little embarrassed. Iushkin, who was too bullying, also replied with a little embarrassment.

"Just bring it, what if it can be used? That's what I think, Comrade Commander."

"Even if it can't be used, just treat it as a troop training. It will not be a waste of effort to test the long-distance cross-country mobility in wartime."

"Well, that's the case."

Knowing that Iushkin was trying to make up for the explanation, Malashenko did not delve too deeply into the issue. Instead, he asked Iushkin back on impulse and with interest.

"What are the results of your test? After leaving the Leader Army for so long, what do you think of the current Leader Army?"

"Very good, very powerful! So powerful that it even surprised me, Comrade Commander."

When I heard Malashenko ask about this, Iushkin, who was immediately interested, hurriedly replied excitedly.

"To be honest, I had roughly guessed that the Leader's Army would be very strong, which exceeded my expectations. But I really didn't expect it to be so strong, far beyond my previous judgment. No unit in the Polish Cluster can compare with the current Leader's Army."

"To be precise, it should be said that the troops of the Polish Cluster give me the feeling that they are like the Red Army's general guards in 1945, compared with the Leader's Army at that time."

It may sound a bit exaggerated, but Malashenko understands that Ivushkin's statement is actually not excessive.

In the seven years as the commander of the cluster, the unit that Malashenko has made the greatest effort to reorganize and upgrade is the Leader's Army.

Just like the Leader's Division during the Great Patriotic War, the Leader's Army has been a pilot unit for Malashenko to test the modernization and reorganization plan of the troops in the past seven years.

Except for some too new experimental weapons and prototype equipment that are not suitable for being pulled to the front of the two Germanys to equip the Leader's Army for confidentiality.

Malashenko, who used his power, almost did everything he could, equipping the leader army with all kinds of new and powerful weapons and equipment, and systematically established support firepower that matched the level of the combined arms army.

Moreover, he had to go further in terms of battle tactics and tactical concepts, which was more powerful than the application of new equipment.

Many troop models and military doctrines that have now been popularized throughout the Soviet Army are continuously pumped out from the beating heart of the leader army, and then transported to the entire Soviet Army for shared development.

The name of the former leader is no longer there, but the leader's steel is still the most powerful army field cluster in the world.

Just putting it in the position of the Berlin garrison can make the neighbors next door unable to sleep and eat. Not to mention the more terrible "steel butcher" and his 350,000 "Slavic tough guys" deployed in East Germany, ready to fight at any time.

This posture would scare anyone who saw it. This is the core secret of winning back face for Comrade Yumi.

Time passed quickly amid everyone's attention and expectation. In a blink of an eye, it was the last moment before the sunrise in the early morning, when the participating troops entered their respective positions and prepared to start.

"Oh my God, this is the strongest army of the Russians. This is the steel torrent that makes those media people write their pens useless."

"More than that, Frank. Although it is not easy for you and me to admit it, there is no doubt that this is the most powerful army field group in the world today. To underestimate the Russians' achievements in land warfare is like to underestimate Her Majesty the Queen's Corgi."

"What kind of strange metaphor is this, John? But I understand, it is true."

The US lieutenant general and the British lieutenant general behind him were chatting happily.

Jack, who had already sat at the head of the guest table, had no intention of paying attention to this. After using the light of dawn to see clearly the participating troops of the Leader Army entering the starting position, Jack put down the telescope again and his heart was already surging.

"I have to admit, teacher. You still have the most powerful army in the world under your command. This has been the case for 45 years, and it is still the same today. Being able to lead and command such an army is the ultimate goal for all passionate men in the world. Dream, for this reason alone, you are already "the enemy of real men in the world."

With no one around to watch, Jack was happy to communicate with his teacher on a private terms.

After hearing this, Malashenko also sat in the commander's position and listened carefully, then smiled. This is indeed the case, it is natural and there is no need to be too hypocritical.

"Enjoy it, Jack. There are no commanders of U.S. Forces in Europe and the commander of the East German cluster here today, only Jack and Malashenko. This is a farewell for you. I hope we can maintain peace forever, and of course I also wish you personally The future is bright.”

Jack, who smiled and expressed his gratitude, nodded, and then saw Malashenko on the side, after confirming the situation with the general who came to report.

Then he picked up the wireless transmitter on the table beside him and lowered his voice to give the order himself.

"Attention all commanders and fighters of the First Guards Tank Corps! I am General Malashenko, commander of the East German Group. Now I announce that the "Red Dawn" military operation has officially begun! Attack the enemy!"
