"Commander Suvorov, I hope you can tell me now, what are the specific losses of your division so far? Although it may be a bit sudden for me to ask this, but considering the next battle we are about to engage in, I
Hopefully I'll get an answer right away."
In terms of position, Suvorov is obviously a level higher than Malashenko. They are all at the same level in the Guards. Suvorov is a division commander, while Malashenko is just a brigade commander.
It stands to reason that even if Malashenko and Suvorov have the same military rank as colonels, there should not be a brigade commander yelling at the division commander, rushing to ask questions about this matter before even saying a few words, this is not
Comply with rules and common sense.
In a highly hierarchical army, this is the last thing that should be done, but at this point, Malashenko, who feels his butt is burning, can no longer care about so much. Besides, Malashenko really doesn’t feel that he is any better than the man in front of him.
If Mr. Suvorov is short, if you don't take yourself seriously, how can you expect others to take you seriously? That's basically the truth.
Malashenko's question obviously came suddenly. Division Commander Suvorov, who had not expected Malashenko to suddenly ask such a question, was stunned, and then subconsciously turned around and glanced at the same person as him.
The political commissar and chief of staff, who were partners in the command post, turned around again after finding basically the same meaning and answer in their respective eyes.
"I originally planned to talk to you about the details later, Comrade Malashenko. But since you asked now, we might as well talk about this issue in advance."
The war zone map placed on the command table has many traces of temporary drawings. There will be no time to clean it up in the future. The floating soil and fly ash of the war are lightly covered on it, and a thin layer has fallen. Walking to Suwo beside the table
Commander Love began to point to the key points on the map and spoke to Malashenko, who was across the table in front of him.
"I think you have probably already understood the relevant information, but I will give you a brief explanation again, Comrade Malashenko."
"Our division has officially launched a counterattack against the enemies entrenched in the October State Farm since early yesterday morning. The purpose is to force the enemy to withdraw from the October State Farm, annihilate their effective forces to the greatest extent, and then disrupt the enemy's attack on Prokhorov.
A deep offensive in the direction of Kabul will resolve the defensive crisis on the right wing of our entire front."
"During the whole day of fighting yesterday, our division, with the support of a tank brigade and another infantry division, launched a total of 7 group charges, 23 fire reconnaissances and exploratory attacks towards the October State Farm, one of which was successful.
A gap was opened in the direction of the enemy's frontal defense, and the infantry and tanks rushed in. There were nearly a regiment of troops, and victory was in sight."
"But soon, the Germans brought in strong reinforcements from the rear and drove us out with a brutal tank assault, which dealt us a pretty heavy blow."
"Under such circumstances, our division suffered a total of 4,768 casualties in the whole day's battle yesterday, with more than 60% of those killed or seriously injured. Now, the number of people in our division who can still hold weapons is almost equal to this number. This number
Among them are comrades who were slightly injured. I believe you saw them on the battlefield just now. This is the most real situation."
Malashenko just listened quietly and looked at the map in front of him, silently analyzing the situation in his mind. The scenes he had just witnessed on the position were naturally still fresh in his mind.
"The tank brigade that coordinated the attack with our division yesterday was almost completely wiped out. The other infantry division suffered greater losses than us. They were Guards troops like us, and now they have been transferred to the west to participate in the attack on the enemy's base.
offensive, I heard that the losses there were greater than here, and they need more support."
"The losses of the troops are too great, Comrade Malashenko! Without the support of tanks and heavy weapons, it is impossible for us to win this battle. I don't know if my words will be misunderstood by you as cowardice and
I have lost my fighting spirit, but please look at the situation outside. Those soldiers are all good soldiers who risked their lives yesterday to fight the enemy tenaciously!"
"What I say is not to excuse myself, I just hope you can understand the real situation here, Comrade Malashenko. The enemies occupying the October State Farm are simply a group of jackals. We can only use the most tenacious
Only willpower and belief in victory can defeat them. This is a group of fascist fanatics who will achieve their goals regardless of the cost!"
Malashenko had basically learned a lot about the combat effectiveness of elite SS maniacs like the Skeleton Division and the Guards Division in the battles of the past few days.
This group of Germans are indeed unparalleled in the entire German army in terms of not being afraid of death and the level of madness in fighting. Compared with this group of lunatics, ordinary troops of the Wehrmacht are like part-time delivery boys with soy sauce, that kind of madness in one go
Jiner probably doesn't want to give in too much compared to the Japanese who are also allies.
But there is an old saying that goes well, we have two shoulders carrying one head, who is afraid of whom?
You SS fanatics don't care about your life. Have you ever asked Stalin's Guards First Heavy Tank Brigade, who bears the name of leader? With such a small amount of power, Black Panther and Nan Ge, who can stall or even spontaneously combust even if they step on the accelerator, plus a group of people who are beaten.
What kind of hero is a brittle tiger who has been hammered into a sick cat by 122 and bullied a group of T34s that don't even have 85 cannons?
Elites? You damn elites, I’m going to fight you, these inhumane Fascist elites!
The insufficient strength of the 9th Guards Airborne Division is not a problem. Malashenko still has the infantry battalion commanded by Major Varosha who came with him.
It is called a battalion on the surface, but its actual strength is almost the same as that of a Guards Infantry Regiment. In addition, the troops in the hands of Division Commander Suvorov suffered heavy casualties but their morale is still high. Although the infantry strength is not rich, it is definitely considered
Enough.
More importantly, Malashenko, who has fought against both the Skeleton Division and the Guards Division, has so far basically understood the details and combat style of his opponent.
Facing this gang of ferocious Fascist fanatics with brains, Malashenko asked himself that he still had a good chance of winning with the advantage of the equipment in his hands.
The 1st Heavy Tank Brigade of Stalin's Guards has not suffered too much losses yet. Most of the zombie tanks have been rescued by Karamov and his men. The total number of tanks that have been completely lost is only 20%.
Pass.
The already strong 1st Heavy Tank Brigade of Stalin's Guards still has the capital to withstand the enemy in a decisive battle. The October State Farm, which has been chewed for a whole day, must be won today!
