"Well, okay, I understand, that's it for now. If anything happens, I'll contact you as soon as possible."
Malashenko, who had just finished communicating with Lavrinenko, had not had time to put down the radio in his hand. The political commissar comrade who had just pushed the forward division headquarters to where Malashenko was now appeared in front of him.
"New telegram, you have to read it quickly."
Malashenko, who was used to being sent telegrams by his political commissar comrades, didn't say much when he heard this. He then got out of the communication car, jumped down, and asked questions while receiving the telegram.
"Where was it taken? What did you say?"
As usual, when Malashenko received the telegram and began to review it, the political commissar once again played the role of commentator.
"Photographed by the Front Army Headquarters. The intelligence department has just found out the specific situation of some enemies. The group of German armored units that you have eaten are not simple. The independent 505th Heavy Armored Battalion of the National Defense Forces, if calculated according to full strength
There are a total of 45 heavy tanks. Depending on the situation, they also recruited some stragglers to make up the number. If they can kill this bastard, it will be like taking a big blow from the Germans."
This kind of information is not very new. Malashenko had already confirmed this through the prisoners, but Comrade Political Commissar's next words really shocked Comrade Ma.
"There may be trouble on Lavry's side. Intelligence shows that what is blocking them is the main force of the Germans, the Grossdeutschland Panzer Division of the Wehrmacht. We haven't done anything to these bastards from the beginning of the war until now. They have not been hit hard. Their strength
It's very strong. Lavry's regiment of tanks and a battalion of infantry are not easy to deal with such an opponent."
"What did you say!? Grossdeutschland Panzer Division??? Is this...information accurate? How was it confirmed?"
If there is any word to describe Malashenko's current expression, then probably "I'll hold your mother in my mouth" is more accurate, preferably with a cigarette in his mouth and a curse.
Malashenko had calculated everything but never expected that these bastards of the Grossdeutschland Panzer Division could withdraw from the front line to the rear at such an outrageous speed. You must know that these bastards were storming the village not long ago.
Position, how could you be so damn fast and reach such a back position all of a sudden? Is it because there are rockets stuck in your butt or because there are Hot Wheels under your feet?
Malashenko's expression became more and more "unbelievable" and he questioned the authenticity of the information that could be perceived as outrageous after a little analysis. However, the reply from Comrade Political Commissar completely cut off Malashenko's last words.
Think about “false information”.
"The information is not wrong. I have confirmed it for you. It was sent by the guerrillas in the rear. There are a large number of guerrilla activities in Belarus, and they are all our people. The larger ones basically have radio stations that can communicate with the large forces.
Get in touch, they know the terrain well, understand the specific situation of the Kraut troops, and it is not difficult for them to recognize the troop logo on the Kraut tanks."
"...."
Everyone knows that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. As a foreign guest, he has no right to question the valuable intelligence obtained by the guerrillas who have been active in this area for a long time. Malashenko believes that this kind of
The key information at that time is basically correct.
While his eyes were turning rapidly in his sockets, he was thinking about the next step. The last key issue that affected Malashenko's decision had been clarified.
"Where is Kurbalov? How is the situation there? Have you confirmed it?"
Malashenko, who had just put down the microphone, had not yet had time to contact Kulbalov to ask about the situation. If there were no problems with Kulbalov, then he could go ahead with his plans.
Fortunately, the next reply given by Comrade Political Commissar made Comrade Ma breathe a sigh of relief on the spot.
"It has been confirmed that the situation on Kulbalov's side was smoother than expected. They encountered a dispersed German light armored force, and they rushed forward without stopping and overturned the enemy.
Kurbalov reported that the enemy was poorly equipped and was part of the 31st Armored Division, and that they were preparing to move on to attack the remaining Germans in this division."
Upon hearing this, Malashenko was finally convinced that his plan was completely feasible.
"...That's good, very good! You tell Kulbalov that his offensive can be slowed down a little. If he encounters a strong enemy, he can even temporarily avoid the attack and let him make his own decision based on the specific situation.
I will not give him remote command."
"Send all the Il-2s from that regiment and transfer them to Lavrinenko's side. Not only will they overturn the German artillery position, but they will also have to support the ground attack and open up a hole. The Grossdeutsche Panzer Division's gang
You bastard, I'm going to take it! I led the second regiment to immediately adjust the direction of attack and move closer to Lavry, and let Kulbalov also move towards this side."
"Take these bastards of the Grossdeutschland Panzer Division as the center of the circle. The Germans will not easily leave their trump card aside. When they sense that the situation is not good, they will definitely pounce on them like crazy and try to capture this main armored division.
Get out. I judge that the enemy does not yet know what kind of overall situation they are facing, and the number of our troops is a mystery to them."
"Make good use of this, and the Germans will have a sense of luck. They have done this almost every time in the past. They can't do such a thing. Beating this big German armored division to death will give you energy.
Continuously attracting more Germans who are not afraid of death. They have already lost the 505th Heavy Armored Battalion and cannot afford to lose the Grossdeutschland Panzer Division again."
"And our support troops will come up from the periphery to bite the enemy. Then the Germans will be attacked from both sides and die faster. The bastards of the Grossdeutschland Panzer Division will also be pinned to death. They will never be able to escape.
go out!"
Instead of chasing the Germans around like a duck, Malashenko, who felt that his plan could not keep up with the changes, temporarily decided to adjust his tactics and used the Grossdeutschland Panzer Division, whose number had been identified, as bait, and the gang went crazy.
The German guy who also came to the rescue was the meat he wanted to eat most, and he would definitely come to his door.
Malashenko's plan was not without its boldness, but the political commissar who decided to support Malashenko did not say anything more in the end. After all, war is the coexistence of opportunities and risks.
Malashenko's additional and revised combat orders were soon truthfully conveyed and implemented. The units of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, which moved quickly, now had a common goal, and the rapidly advancing rolling iron flow began to move forward in unison.
Converging in the same direction.
And in the sky, the Black Death plague summoned by Malashenko soon flew directly over the enemy's head, carrying full of death and fear, and roared down.
