"Keep attacking! Yes, I repeat that! Lavery, keep attacking!"
"The offensive cannot be stopped. There are only more than two hours left before dark. We cannot let these Germans linger until tomorrow! As the night goes by, you don't know how deep and complex positions they will dig out. The time left for them is to take out
We are kidding ourselves with our own lives, if we drag on any longer, even the German reinforcements will come to cause trouble!"
"Kurbalov, step up the offensive! The Germans have almost used up all their broken vehicles, and the only infantry left is not worth mentioning! Let your tanks send the infantry up, and we will send them into the German defenses.
We can completely crush them! We are racing against time now as we withstand the anti-tank fire and rush forward! Yes, attacking is the only order!"
Malashenko not only had to direct the battle on his own side, but also gave orders to Lavrinenko and Kulbalov at the same time. He even had to coordinate and command his own crew to give orders, which was something he had never experienced before.
Malashenko, who had this kind of "four-line command", was "enjoyed, so happy" for a while.
But no matter how complicated the battle command is, what Malashenko cares about the most is not actually this, but the unexpected and abnormal changes in the German army.
If we let Comrade Ma speak for himself, he has been beaten so badly before. He dragged his family and a bunch of tired and remnant soldiers behind him and was beaten for so long. He threw away his armor and was beaten everywhere along the way.
With randomly thrown away equipment and the wreckage of destroyed vehicles, such a German army, even if it is an elite, should have lost its will to fight and its combat effectiveness.
It is foreseeable that morale is about to collapse, which can be seen from Kulbalov's feedback when he just fought with the remnants of the Grossdeutschland Division.
Kulbalov directly described the enemy in front of him on the radio as "confused and slow to react". Every move revealed exhaustion and low morale, as if a bombardment would eat them all within a few hours.
Lose.
This is indeed a normal situation. Malashenko also believes that it is normal for German sticks to be beaten like this. If you are beaten to this point and are as smelly and hard as stones in the toilet, it is outrageous. Even those gangs of SS
The elite of the military lunatics is almost at this limit.
But I don’t know why, it’s like a person who was about to die suddenly got a shot of chicken blood.
When Malashenko led his troops to the battlefield, Kulbalov's side was like Lavrinenko not long ago, falling into a state of "I can continue to attack, but I am full" in front of the German army.
The state of "suffering and fighting".
The stubborn resistance of the Grossdeutschland Division was so crazy that it even gave Malashenko a feeling of "returning to the old days of Stalingrad."
With the cover of our own tanks, we used standard infantry and tanks to break into the German defense line and just stabilized our position.
Those infantrymen of the Grossdeutschland Division, who probably had their heads full of chicken blood, could immediately launch a counterattack, either in platoon units or as whole companies, but they did not rush forward in a rush, but as usual
As usual, we divided into multiple combat groups and coordinated the cover.
Even with its powerful direct firepower, the bulky IS6 heavy tank cannot cover all areas. At most, it can only focus on the German attack in one direction and prevent it from moving closer. The other scattered German combat groups are like thugs who are not afraid of death.
Like a dog, even though his comrades are constantly being mowed down by random gunfire, they still continue to attack in an orderly manner, closing the distance at the cost of their lives.
The number of German troops within the defense line was greater, and the number of Soviet troops who had just entered and established their position was relatively small.
As the battle went on, it was difficult not to have tilted variables. The crazy German infantry rushed to a very close position, using long guns, short cannons, various light weapons and anti-tank guys to go into battle, crackling with random gunfire and continuous fire.
The constant banging and banging caused huge casualties visible to the naked eye to the Red Army troops who broke into the defense line.
The heavy tanks were destroyed one by one by approaching the weak points of shooting, or were paralyzed. Without the cover of the tanks, the corpses of the Red Army soldiers behind the steel wreckage were scattered one by one, like harvesting wheat.
It was also at this time that Kurbalov finally realized for himself why Comrade Deputy Division Commander said that he felt that these Germans were too difficult to chew down quickly, even if they tried their best.
Don't be afraid of lunatics risking their lives, but be afraid that lunatics who risk their lives still have some quality and keep their heads clear.
I don’t know why this group of German soldiers are so excited and eager to fight. They really understand the meaning of "battlefield price".
As long as he can hold the line of defense, if you ask him to invest one infantry company after another, he can do whatever it takes to fill this bottomless pit that devours human lives.
A simple mass charge is easy to deal with. The key to the problem is that this group of "skilled gangsters" are not good at this trick. They use technical tactics and high-end offensive routines.
The tacit cooperation between the anti-infantry combat team and the anti-tank combat team is annoying. If one team is destroyed, another team will immediately replace it, leaving you no time to even take a breath.
If you save the tank, you can't save the people; if you save the people, you can't save the tank.
This is the most realistic portrayal of the battle situation that the regiment led by Kulbalov personally encountered during the first stage of the battle when it broke into the German defense lines.
"Crazy, comrade division commander! These German guys don't know why, they suddenly went crazy! I even thought they were a group of SS scum wearing the skin of the Wehrmacht! They used three or even four times the casualties
They pounced on us just to drive out the troops who broke into the defense line, no matter the cost."
"But after driving out, they immediately stopped. They took back the missed defensive area and stopped moving forward. It was obviously a good opportunity for us to be repelled, but they just stood still. It was like... it was like...
..”
With a look of exhaustion tortured by this final battle that was crueler than expected, Kulbalov was conducting a battlefield report. Before he could finish his words, Kulbalov was directly interrupted by Malashenko's words.
"As if the land under their feet is absolutely inviolable, do they have to risk their lives to defend it? These German guys must have received some great news, and it is most likely a promise that is infinitely close to a blank check. Stalin
At the time of Gullah, this was the reason why the Germans frequently fought back madly when they were on the verge of death, and it is still the same now. It is true that dogs cannot change their attitude to eating shit."
Malashenko will never forget his fighting experience at the end of the Battle of Stalingrad. The German army was still fighting to the death until the last day of the battle. They fought against their own side street by house and house by house. Every house they captured felt different from the previous one.
The climax of the battle is no different.
Malashenko only found out the reason for this situation later. Co-author Paulus, that old bastard, kept talking nonsense and making up lies until the last day before surrender.
He coaxed the German soldiers who were about to turn into war lunatics by saying that reinforcements were just outside the city and would arrive soon. He continued to instill brainwashing lies into these German soldiers who were on the verge of collapse, and pumped them up at full capacity, which led to the end of the battle.
But it was still so difficult, just like before.
The scene before him indeed seemed familiar. After listening to Kurbalov's report, Malashenko felt that the German command might be repeating their old tricks again, lying around for free and endlessly concocting lies.
With this "extreme madness" that Lavrinenko experienced firsthand.
Regardless of who is lying, and regardless of the specific reason, Malashenko is certain that the German's life-threatening madness will never last long.
How can you withstand the counterattack casualties that are three or four times higher than the Soviet troops who broke into the defense line? Now that all the main forces of the three regiments are here, I want to see how long you can continue to play crazy here!
