Malashenko couldn't believe that the black and white words he saw with his eyes were actually real!
The content recorded above is really too shocking. Even though Comrade Ma is a time traveler who has traveled back from the future, he is still shocked. It can be called five thunders.
"Is...are you sure this information is correct? Could it be a mistake?"
"A German stick and a tank killed an entire battalion of British soldiers, and then gathered reinforcements to eat up half of the British regiment, and captured the village that blocked the only way for the enemy to attack? That's it.
Half a day? Are the British guys traveling to France? What kind of combat power is this? If it were our division, we would go over and send all those German guys, including their people and their vehicles, to the sky!"
Malashenko did not forget Michel Wittmann. After all, he was a very famous figure in history.
What Malashenko was really surprised and unbelievable was that in the existing history, Wittmann's battle in Pokaki Village could only be regarded as semi-perfect. His personal performance goal was achieved, but the German army's follow-up reinforcements were tight.
The subsequent large-scale offensive against the village of Pokaki ended in failure. The British troops in the village were blocked at all levels, and they were forced to abandon their armor and flee.
Even Wittmann's own car had its tracks broken by the British anti-tank guns, and was forced to abandon the car and escape. The final result of the battle was that although the British army suffered heavy losses, they at least defended the village of Pokaki, leading to the
The road to attack Caen is still in the hands of the British army, and the door is open.
This is a typical situation where the German army achieved tactical victory but failed strategically. It still had no qualitative change in the entire battle situation. Strictly speaking, this was a failed offensive operation and failed to achieve the pre-set goals.
But now, the intelligence said that the village of Pokage already belongs to the Germans. The British were beaten to the point of losing their troops, with bruises and bruises on their faces, and heavy losses in troops. Not to mention that the attack gate to Caen was closed by the Germans.
It will definitely take more time and cost to reopen the offensive path. This bloody situation is different from what I expected in advance. What is going on!?
"You find it unbelievable, and the comrades in the Ministry of Internal Affairs also find it unbelievable. Commander Vatutin's first reaction after reading it was to question the authenticity of the intelligence. Even I can't believe it. You are not the only one who thinks this.
This is outrageous. But the fact is that those Allied forces were no match for the Germans on the Western Front battlefield, at least in armored combat on the ground."
"..."
After the shock at the beginning of the period, Malashenko has gradually calmed down and started to think about why the situation has become like this.
The Allied forces launched their strategic offensive one month earlier than in history, and the Normandy landings in June were moved forward to May. But this does not seem to be the reason why they were beaten so miserably on the ground. Because of the performance of the Allied forces at the Normandy beachhead.
It is still very eye-catching and remarkable. Malashenko, who has been paying attention to the European battlefield, has long been informed of this situation.
There is no strategic problem. The Allied commanders and front-line generals who commanded the Normandy landings are still the same people from history. Logically speaking, there should not be any completely different situations caused by the substitution of personnel.
Since there are no problems with the strategy and tactics, there is only one possibility left: there is a serious problem with the technical equipment.
"Hiss... This is impossible, isn't it? Are you really that powerful? Just doing something on the Eastern Front can make the Allies lose so miserably on the Western Front? I didn't tell the Germans how to deal with the Allies.
! It’s just that the Tiger has become a King Tiger, a Black Panther II, and some unknown anti-aircraft tank. Is it like this?"
Malashenko had earlier said that he wanted to see the Allied forces suffer a miserable situation, but what he meant was that he wanted to see the Allied forces be beaten badly and suffer more losses.
But right now, the British company not only suffered heavy losses, but also lost the battle they could have won. I guess the situation on the American side, whose tanks are not as good as the British ones, is not much better.
It will be worse, which is not good.
If there were too serious problems with the Allied operations on the Western Front, Malashenko was worried that the German army could calmly deploy more forces to the Eastern Front battlefield and become stronger than before in history. This would inevitably make the Soviet Union
The army is under greater pressure. At that time, the brothers will put their own buttocks on the fire. Is it possible that such a bloody situation will really happen?
Sensing that Malashenko's expression was uncertain and not quite right, Petrov, the political commissar who was curious about what was wrong with Malashenko, interrupted Malashenko's thinking and asked.
"What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about? You're so lost in thought."
"Huh? Ah, it's nothing. I'm just worried that if the Allied forces perform too poorly and the Germans don't feel enough pressure, they will inevitably send more troops to the Eastern Front to deal with us, and then it will be us
It’s trouble.”
"Um......"
Hearing Malashenko's concerns, Commissar Petrov also nodded.
"What you said makes sense. We and the Allies can actually be said to be grasshoppers on a rope. That's what the Chinese saying goes, right? From what I see, I think this is the German army fighting on the Eastern Front battlefield.
We have accumulated too much experience in fighting armor that is too strong, and the equipment originally designed to deal with us is too powerful."
"Imagine this, it's like an ordinary person who always loses in fights with strong men, and suddenly encounters elementary school students who come to challenge him. Ordinary people may not be able to beat a strong man, but if they beat an elementary school student, even two children
Even if they are bundled together, they can’t beat an ordinary person, isn’t this normal?”
"..."
When Comrade Lao Ma heard this, he felt a little ashamed. Strictly speaking, the German armored forces were able to reach such a monster level today because they were all made by themselves.
"As for the problem you are worried about that the German army will not feel the pressure and will return to support the Eastern Front, this is not something we can change or avoid. No matter how the Allies fight or what the situation is on the Western Front, we must follow our plan
Continue to advance the war. Since we can defeat the Germans once, who were in their prime before the Allies entered the war, we can do it a second, third, and fourth time until we completely bulldoze them.
What do you think?"
"Oh, you are really digging a hole for yourself and committing evil!"
Comrade Lao Ma sighed deeply in his heart, but on the surface he still had to appear high-spirited and full of energy in front of the political commissar.
"You're right, we still have to fight the battles that need to be fought, such as this next crucial battle."
The political commissars looked at each other and smiled. Malashenko's spiritual attitude of always maintaining revolutionary optimism was what he liked most.
"Get ready. Commander Vatutin is going to hold a combat meeting at the front army headquarters in the afternoon. This may be the last one before the operation begins. The importance is self-evident. You and I are called upon to attend."
"I have prepared the meeting documents and required materials here. You go and clean up, have something to eat, and arrange the work that needs to be done by you personally. We will set off in half an hour."
