Chapter 752: Stalemate

After leaving the combat conference room and coming outside, Malashenko felt inexplicably relaxed. This sense of joy from the heart made Malashenko even more determined to have an idea.

"Wild souls are not destined to stay in the command center. Staying there for one more minute feels like you are suffering the fate of having your head tied to your belt for the rest of your life. I can't blame others."

Whether it was when he first came to this world or now, Malashenko has asked himself countless times, but without exception he found that he could only find a sense of peace of mind on the cruel battlefield in the cramped and narrow space inside the tank. .

Buying medical insurance is for peace of mind, buying pension insurance is for peace of mind, getting married is for peace of mind, having children is for peace of mind. People spend their entire lives living for peace of mind. Malashenko really wants to live until the end of this war so that he can hug his beautiful daughter-in-law and live a peaceful life for a few days, but before that, Malashenko must first find his own share on the battlefield. Peace of mind.

No matter at any time and under any circumstances, people can only survive if they find their own peace of mind. A life without peace of mind will be like a person who has fallen into the water and is about to drown, leaving only panic and struggle.

Flickering flames jumped out of the lighter in Malashenko's hand, and Malashenko, who was accustomed to using cigarettes to numb himself, began to think about what was going to happen next.

"It will probably be difficult to win tomorrow's battle, that's for sure. I just don't know how the Germans' defense arrangements are on the mountain. It would be troublesome if a large group of iron bastards were deployed on top."

The 1st Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment had just fought a victorious battle at the train station and their morale was high. Malashenko believed that his troops could play a positive leading role in morale and inspire those who were already at Mamayev Heights. Exhausted from several days of fierce fighting in the war zone, but still unable to capture the enemy, the friendly troops rushed up the hill in one breath.

Malashenko was worried that the Germans would use armored forces to counter him.

The German armored forces were stationary and stopped from a high position. They had a 100% first-mover advantage and could wait for them to come to their doorstep.

Those latest Chang 75 Panzer IV tanks are enough to destroy T34 and KV1 from the front within normal combat distances, and judging from previous combat records, the current output of German Panzer IV tanks in this timeline is significantly higher than in the original history. More came, so much so that a German armored company on the front line could at most replace an astonishing number of Panzer 75 IV tanks that were nearly half the length. Malashenko felt that this should be one of the derivative results of his own butterfly effect.

"Damn, this is really troublesome! No matter how we fight, those German tanks squatting on the top of the mountain will hit us first. If there are too many of them, it will be troublesome!"

After all, Malashenko no longer knows much about what is happening on the top of Mamayev Hill. He knows nothing about the specific deployment of the German army, how many troops it has, and how much technical equipment it has.

Malashenko did not regret what he said at the meeting just now. At this point in the battle, there was no way out, and retreating would be a dead end! Losing Mamayev Heights is even more doomed!

In this case, Malashenko felt that it would be better to put all his gambling money on a desperate gamble. You don't even have the courage to play like a hammer.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't come up with any good solution. After all, it was still the Soviet army who was the attacking side and not the German army guarding the hill who was on the passive side.

How this battle will turn out depends to a large extent on the German army, which has an absolutely superior force and favorable defensive terrain, rather than on the Soviet side.

The only thing Malashenko could do was to forge the First Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment into a sharp knife, and rush to the hills with a risk-of-life attitude to kill those naughty Germans until death.

"Either I will crush your corpses, or my corpse will be covered in the tank and turned into a barbecue. There is no retreat from this battle tomorrow. If it drags on for another day or a half, the Germans may be blocking them under the hill and making dumplings. The ending.”

Malashenko threw the cigarette butt to the sole of his foot and stamped it out. Seeing that the meeting with Chuikov would not be finished for a while, Malashenko planned to go back to his regiment headquarters and quickly rest and sleep to refresh himself. Unexpectedly, just now The communications staff officer who received him ran over again at this critical moment.

"Comrade Malashenko, please wait! Comrade Commander said he wants to see you now."

""

"I just want to get some fucking sleep, why is it so hard!?"

Malashenko, whose eyelids were already fighting, had no other choice but to continue to brace himself and followed the communications staff officer back to the group army headquarters behind him. In the commander's office, he saw Comrade Cui who had just finished the meeting. .

"Your speech at the meeting just now was great, Malashenko. To be honest, I only understood about 80% of it, and the remaining 21% was half-understood. But I am convinced of your speech. It has aroused everyone's morale and active thinking. After you left the meeting room, many people spoke freely and even agreed with your plan. We really need a decisive victory instead of continuing to look forward and backward. "

While expressing affirmation and praise to Malashenko, Chuikov touched the cigarette box on his desk and took out two cigarettes and gave one to himself and Malashenko. The heart-to-heart exchanges between men often It started from that puff of smoke.

"To be honest, Malashenko. I guess you have some doubts about tomorrow's battle and you are not sure you can win, is that right?"

Since Chuikov can be remembered in the list of famous generals, he is not in vain.

Chuikov, who is used to speaking directly and straightforwardly, does not like to hide anything, especially Malashenko's impassioned speech on the field just now, which was full of charm, "Tomorrow we must kill all the Germans", which made Chuikov feel that Malashenko was quite to his taste, so he said these sincere words to Malashenko.

People will pretend countless times in their lives, but some of them are decided to pretend when they have to pretend due to the situation, such as the situation Malashenko faced at the combat meeting just now.

"Comrade Commander, I believe that you should see it more clearly than I do given your position. I guarantee that most of the people in the meeting just now, at least before I came to the meeting room, were looking around in their assessment of the battle situation, wanting to take into account all aspects to ensure perfection and absolute safety. Is that right?"
