"Shocked" is "shocked". This is completely different from Kulbalov's timely reply to Malashenko. Kulbalov, who did not dare to delay the division commander, quickly put the microphone back
After taking it off, he pressed the communication button and spoke repeatedly.
"I can hear it, comrade division commander. The battle is still going on, and the Germans can't get in yet. We are sure to push them down, but we just don't have enough troops to organize a counterattack to surround them in front of the position. The forces of both the enemy and ours should be
They are evenly matched.”
Holding a microphone in his hand and listening to Kulbalov's report, Malashenko, who was advancing at full speed, saw the general firefight situation on the position. It was dark and could not see anything on his side, and he could only hear a few words.
The sound of cannons rumbled, and then I saw the muzzle lights that kept lighting up and soaring into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the situation on the German side was embarrassing and miserable. The flares that continued to shoot high into the sky not only illuminated the living German troops and equipment, but also the hanging corpses and wreckage.
As clear as day.
The leopard's head fell to the ground, the dark car body was swallowed up by the flames in the raging fire, and the No. 3 assault gun was twisted and deformed, and the barrel had turned into a twist.
Not to mention the corpses of German soldiers lying strewn about on the ground. There were all kinds of miserable deaths. Broken arms and bloody things were scattered on the ground. It was enough to leave a whole body after being shot to death.
OK.
The thing that surprised Malashenko the most, even a big apple could be stuffed into his mouth, was of course the Panzer IV tank that was turned over with its belly turned upside down. The explosion of ammunition could not prevent this battle.
Come on, Malashenko even wondered for a moment whether it was the German guy who overturned the car.
If Malashenko really knew that the scene in front of him was a masterpiece created by the ingenious Varosha using the "Homemade World War II Iied", then Comrade Ma Laosha would probably have to pat Varosha on the shoulder and say a heartfelt compliment.
: "Hey! You are really a fucking genius!"
Marching side by side with Malashenko is the 20th Guards Tank Brigade. This force is slightly weaker than Malashenko's own troops. It was brought by Malashenko to defeat the German sticks.
Dumpling's Counter-Assault Force.
Although less than a hundred tanks are less than half of the strength of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, as long as they are combined with half of the strength of the 1st Kurbalov Regiment and the Varosha Infantry Regiment, which are already stationed here, the strength will be achieved.
There is a qualitative change. It is basically not a problem to eat the German guys in front of the position in one go.
"Expand the range of flares, and don't be stingy about firing more rounds! Follow the planned plan! Bring your troops to press forward, Kulbalov, I command the 20th Tank Brigade to outflank from both sides, and we cannot let these Germans
Please continue to feel so comfortable!"
The goal is to eat all the German troops in front of him in one go and eliminate them all in front of the position, but Malashenko is also prepared not to kill all the German troops.
The reason for doing this now is simply that Malashenko doesn't want the Germans to fight so comfortably, and focuses all his energy on the breakout attack. Even if he can't kill the Germans, he will at least disrupt his tactical deployment and delay the Germans' attack.
Time, as long as the battle is delayed until dawn, you will win! No Germans who can no longer hide themselves with the night can even think of running away!
The attack carried out in compliance with Malashenko's orders was quickly launched. At the forefront was the Kulbalov regiment, which was the first to switch from defense to offense.
As the saying goes, "When a soldier is raging, a general is raging in a nest." Any general can bring out the same kind of soldiers.
With a "militant" like Malashenko and a division commander who was good at conquering German sticks physically, many other commanders and fighters at all levels in Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division followed the same example, and their blood boiled when they met a German guy on the battlefield.
The ground howls, Kulbalov, who has been working under Malashenko for a long time, is so famous.
"Charge! Keep the distance between each vehicle group and don't pull too far apart, form a dense formation! The Germans don't have anti-tank positions and there aren't many tanks left. Don't worry about anti-tank firepower, just rush up and crush them!"
The biggest problem faced by the German army in an offensive state is that there is no defensive position to rely on. Once they encounter a strong counterattack by the Soviet army, an encounter breaks out in front of the position.
Unless the Germans have enough troops to attack and fight without retreating, any slight retreat in this kind of combat situation will be equivalent to failure. The German army, which does not even have a position, will not have a chance or time to fight.
Build a second line of defense.
Under the fierce pursuit of highly mechanized and rapidly heavy-armed troops such as Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, there would be absolutely no chance of escape, even if it was the middle of the night.
Taking note of this weakness, Kulbalov, who specialized in bullying the Germans and had no position to rely on, directly adopted a dense assault formation that was rarely seen in the past.
The distance between each vehicle crew was reduced to the minimum, like a slender and sharp knife. The Germans' current anti-tank firepower was no longer enough to pose a big threat. Using this tactic should have a huge risk of casualties.
It's perfect for operating on a German.
"Comrades! Destroy the German fascists for the motherland! Ula!!!"
U-la——
Da da da da——
Boom boom boom——
The roar of the charge and the dense explosions of guns and artillery resounded directly in the night sky. The Red Army soldiers, who were only three or four hundred meters away from the enemy, simply ignored the tank cavalry and picked up their weapons.
He followed the tank and rushed out under cover.
The incoming lineup, finally revealed under the light of the flares, was like a sea of waves. It can be said that it basically frightened the German army at a disadvantage in an instant.
"Russians, Russians are coming! There are so many of them!"
"There's Ivan on the left! Damn it, why is there also on the right!?"
"This is a trap, the Russians are waiting for us to take the bait! We are surrounded!!!"
Malashenko, who had prepared all the flares in advance, ordered almost all the backup ammunition to be fired. On the night of the decisive battle, he must not be stingy with the ammunition that was larger than sesame seeds and mung beans. The moonlight was originally blocked by dark clouds.
After hundreds of artillery rounds and illumination bombs were fired, the battlefield was even brighter than when it rained during the day.
The flares hanging in mid-air not only illuminated the battlefield, but also illuminated the entire process of the German army's demise.
The encircling troops commanded by Malashenko charged forward almost exactly against the edge of the illumination of the flares. They could not only see the enemy's situation clearly, but also used the darkness to hide their whereabouts. They had been doing this since they joined the battlefield.
It was not discovered by the Germans, and most importantly, the smallest arc attack line was drawn to shorten the time required for encirclement.
Kulbalov's troops were pressing forward, and the exhausted German army had no time to think about anything else, and was attracted almost all of its attention. They were completely unaware of the position of their two wings, which had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The enemies who came out were outflanked.
The German army, which had no defensive position to rely on, was surrounded by the Red Army from the north, south, and west in less than five minutes.
At this point, the German army was no longer able to even retreat to the east from the direction in which they came.
The only result of a face-to-face fight with extreme jealousy is that one side falls first, but no matter how you look at it, this side cannot be the Red Army that has taken advantage of it and is waiting for work.
