Kulbalov originally thought that the iron pipes that could be carried on his shoulders were surprising enough. The Germans could always come up with new weapons faster than expected, even though these new weapons may not be very easy to use and cannot be used.
It just works.
But what happened next proved once again that Kulbalov had oversimplified the problem.
The German army put new weapons into actual combat very quickly, but it was not as fast as Kulbalov imagined, but at an even faster pace.
The new iron gun barrel is just one of them. After the IS6 heavy tanks tore a hole in the German position and arched it up, the Red Army soldiers who followed them jumped into the trench one after another, holding the steel guns in their hands.
Suddenly, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred at this moment.
Da da da da da——
"Lie down! Watch out for machine guns!!!"
"Bah! That thing isn't a machine gun, it's... like a new submachine gun. I've never seen it before."
"Sukabulet! Why does that thing look so similar to our gun?"
I thought that the firepower configuration of the German infantry squad remained the same. Taking advantage of the powerful firepower in their hands, the Red Army soldiers just jumped into the trenches and were preparing to kill. However, they never thought that the Germans on the opposite side also had new weapons in their hands.
This thing is very powerful and can fire fully automatically.
A hail of bullets hit their faces, and the entire row of Red Army soldiers who jumped into the trench first were unexpectedly hit by this extremely fast and powerful water barrage before they had time to react.
Sweep it to the ground.
Almost every soldier who was lying on the ground or fell head-on had been shot several times, with projectiles entering from the chest and exiting from the back.
The cavity effect caused by the warhead rolling inside the body left a shocking and horrific wound. Veterans who were accustomed to life and death on the battlefield only needed to take a look at this wound to know that the German's nine-millimeter round-head submachine gun bullets could be fired.
Without such a wound effect, the only thing that can cause such a horrific wound is a pointed rifle bullet that is prone to rollover and instability.
"The Germans also have weapons similar to ours! Similar to our assault rifles, comrades, be careful! Suppress with grenades!"
The platoon leader who was the first to rush into the trenches was very experienced. Facts speak louder than words. He understood that the Germans most likely had new weapons similar to their own AK44 assault rifles.
If you suddenly encounter an unprecedented weapon, it may be more difficult to deal with.
But the good news is that the Red Army was equipped with similar light weapons earlier than the German army. It has already figured out the performance, advantages and disadvantages of such light weapons, and is familiar with them.
With the weakness of "Snake Strikes Seven Inches", it is not difficult to restrain and deal with the group of Germans with new gadgets in their hands.
Past combat experience has made it very clear to these Red Army soldiers who have been equipped with new assault rifles. It is definitely not a wise choice to fight with such a small weapon capable of fully automatic shooting at close range, even if one's own side also has a weapon with the Germans in its hands.
With the same level of firepower, this should never be done except as a last resort.
Comrade Commander has said that the lives of the Red Army soldiers are the wealth of the motherland, and the life of every soldier is worth cherishing. Don’t compare the lives of the fascist pigs opposite to the lives of the Red Army soldiers. Those pigs and dogs
The inferior bastards are not worthy of it. Commanders and fighters at all levels in the division must not base their victory on the deliberate sacrifice of the lives of soldiers at any time.
"If the victory of our division can only be achieved at the expense of the lives of the soldiers, then I would rather not have such a victory. Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division is an elite division that is good at fighting. It is our indestructible force that defeated the Fascists.
Faith, the fighting will that becomes more and more courageous as the battle progresses, and the indestructible cutting-edge equipment, are not the corpses of soldiers one after another!"
The above words were not said by Malashenko in private, but were mentioned repeatedly in front of all comrades in the division at the division mobilization meeting and pre-war proclamations.
Malashenko knows that many Red Army commanders and fighters these days like to risk their lives to gain victory. Problems that can be solved at the cost of human lives are not considered problems.
From a macro-strategic perspective, as long as victory can be won, such a price does not seem to matter.
But Malashenko is a front-line field commander, and even a major general is a major general who personally directs the battle on the front line. He is not someone who sits in the rear headquarters drinking tea, making phone calls and sending a few telegrams to solve problems.
Malashenko, who spends his whole day on the battlefield and on the front line, cannot tolerate the existence of incompetent people like his men who risk the lives of soldiers to achieve victory.
Yes, it may sound better in terms of the result. After all, you won, and the victory belongs to you.
But in Malashenko's view, if you have such luxurious equipment and such good troop supplies of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, and you still leave it here to take human lives to win, then this is pure incompetence.
!
If you are so incompetent as a grassroots commander, then take off your uniform and get out of the leadership division and go wherever you like. Anyway, I don't want this stupid pig here.
Under the guidance and guidance of this core idea established by Malashenko, Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division moved from tank crews to infantry, from regiments to battalions to company squads. All commanders and fighters, even squad leaders, will carry out various tasks.
Combat experience and post-war summary exchanges, commanders and fighters at all levels are proud of their mastery of higher tactical skills, and look to the strong in this area as role models.
Similarly, the soldiers also have the right to speak freely. No one can block the mouths of the soldiers to make a speech, not even the leader. If someone dares to pretend to be the boss, I will say whatever I say. Malashenko welcomes anyone.
Even the cooks in the cooking class can come and report to themselves. Once the investigation proves that something is true, you can see if you can mess with him or not.
Under the influence of this good atmosphere, the overall combat effectiveness and tactical literacy of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division has been rising steadily. Even Petrov, the political commissar who has been in the army for many years, praised Malashenko's actions.
Plus, I especially like to praise Malashenko’s unruly general attitude and his example of setting a good atmosphere for the whole division to work together.
Although too much praise has been said for Malashenko, there are still some words that Comrade Political Commissar cannot hold in his heart, and he must say what needs to be said.
"Do you know? Our division is the most cohesive unit I have ever seen in all the years I have been in the army. You are not only the leader of your comrades, you are also recognized and respected by them as their own family member. I have been with you for a long time
I have never seen a comrade, a division commander, who can lead the troops with such an attitude."
"To be honest, many soldiers in other troops look at the general with awe. They don't even dare to talk to the general for fear of making mistakes. It's better to do less than to do more. But you are different."
"I guarantee with my perspective on people that almost every comrade who knows and is familiar with you is sincerely willing to follow you. This is your leadership charisma and the shining point of your unique personality. Remember, no matter where you go in the future,
Don’t forget this no matter how far you go, and you must keep it until the end.”
