Malashenko originally planned to hit the German army's junction as the best result, but he never expected that the first wave of assaults would hit the German army's supply storage point.
"Comrade Division Commander! The forward assault troops reported that they attacked a German supply storage point, which was filled with various ammunition, unloaded trucks and fuel. Our tanks are opening fire to attack these things. Is this allowed?"
Because it involves the issue of the seizure of post-war spoils, Kulbalov, who has always obeyed Malashenko's words, asked our old Comrade Ma one more question on the radio just to be sure.
If Malashenko really values these miscellaneous junk and wants to keep them and seize them after the battle, then firing and attacking at will may ruin the division commander's affairs. Although Kulbalov thinks there is basically no problem in doing so,
But after all, it’s better to be on the safe side by getting a formal confirmation.
"The Kraut's supply storage point?"
Malashenko, who was holding a radio transmitter in his hand, was stunned for a moment when he heard this. It was really unexpected that he accidentally poked at such a weak point of the German guy.
No one would reject the idea of capturing trophies in a war, especially when fighting against an elite armed force like the German Army. Many times the captured items could be used by the Red Army itself. Such as German anti-tank guns, trucks, machine guns, grenades, etc.
There are also Mauser sniper rifles with Zeiss optical sights. These are all good things that can be looted from the German army.
This is true for ordinary Red Army units, but for the 1st Stalin Guards Tank Division, which is known as the most elite tank unit in the entire Red Army, these things are basically of the type that can be used without them.
Malashenko, who enjoys the highest priority in equipment supply among the Guards and can also receive all kinds of latest weapons and equipment, honestly does not like the scrap metal of the Germans. Except for the MG42 of the Germans.
Machine guns, this thing is really much better than the DP28, you can’t admit it, but those are infantry weapons and have nothing to do with your own tanks.
What's more, the current battle is actually to prevent the Germans from breaking out. Malashenko must consider the consequences of not killing all the Germans here and wiping them out, and what will happen next.
How to do it.
If the Germans intend to continue running with a bunch of defeated soldiers behind, then material supplies, food and oil are naturally indispensable.
If these key material supplies that the Germans rely on for survival are eliminated, then even if the Germans can escape from Hill 239, their long-distance mobility and the range of activities of the armored forces will be greatly reduced.
People will starve to death if they don't have food to eat. Tanks and cars can't run without oil. Marashenko won't understand this obvious truth. Instead of worrying about this useless piece of shit trophy about the size of a sesame seed and a mung bean, Marashenko
Schenke was more interested in the German tanks that were abandoned due to lack of fuel on the long route to the rout, and the corpses of German soldiers who were starved to death on the roadside.
Death is not scary. What is scary is the unknown despair of knowing that you will die, but not knowing exactly when. The fear of death and the boundless unknown darkness will devour desperate people. Such chronic death is far better than being killed.
The instant termination of enemy bullets is even more painful.
Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of Malashenko's mouth. Then he pressed the button of the microphone in his hand without thinking and spoke.
"Notify the vehicle commanders at the front to blast all the German supplies and trucks you can see into the sky, and send me tanks one by one!"
"...Comrade division commander, what did you say? What do you mean by sending the tanks one by one? I don't quite understand."
"..."
Realizing that he had gone too far on a whim, Malashenko was a little embarrassed. The idea of "sending chariots one by one" was indeed not something Kulbalov could understand. It would be more appropriate to use a more straightforward expression.
"Ahem...it's nothing. I'll blow up all the German supplies that I can see. That's it! Even if those Germans escape, they will have no fuel left and they will starve to death without food. Do you understand what I mean?"
What Malashenko said was actually what Kulbalov himself thought. There is no better way to punish the enemy than to starve these Germans to death and die in despair on the endless road of rout.
.
"Understood, Comrade Commander. I will convey the order right now, don't worry."
As soon as Malashenko's order was given, Kulbalov immediately switched the radio channel and conveyed it very quickly.
The commanders of a group of medium tank tanks that were in the middle of the battle quickly received the confirmation order. The main gun's aiming and direct fire, which had been hesitant to restrain itself, suddenly became more violent. The shells that escaped from the barrel were obviously accelerated and the rate of fire became faster.
It's coming even more fiercely.
"Escape! Find cover, quickly!"
"Ignore those trucks, find cover! Cover!"
"Iron Fist, where is our Iron Fist!? We have to kill the Russian tanks. Get the iron quickly...ah!!!"
The 85mm main gun loaded with integrated fixed shells fires continuously while maintaining the highest rate of fire. Once this thing enters the burst loading mode, the tank itself will remain stationary.
The loading speed of those Red Army loaders, who are big and thick and as strong as bears, can be much faster than in the normal mode. The most accurate thing is that the last bullet casing hits the ground and the next bullet is already in the chamber.
describe.
The current firepower density of medium tanks is no longer something that the German anti-tank fighters holding iron fists can face directly. The roaring shells not only blew up the piles of supplies, overturned trucks, and detonated ammunition boxes and oil barrels.
The Red Army gunners, who could use their spare firepower, even gave many 85mm high-explosive shells to the German infantry.
Bombing people with grenades was already powerful enough, but now the feeling of being chased behind by 85mm high-explosive bombs and directly aimed at the bombs. For those German infantrymen who were running around like hares, in the final analysis, they could only cry.
Just say "I'm so fucking broken" and that's it.
The German infantrymen who were pinned down and beaten fiercely by the tanks did not think about fighting back. After they were within the shooting range, they used the powerful and portable iron fists in their hands to kill those Russian tractors.
But thinking about it is one thing, actually doing it is another.
The Red Army infantry who have already entered the position and jumped into the trenches are constantly advancing. They have a lot of Bobosha and light machine guns in their hands, and their firepower is as fierce as trench brooms!
