When Kulbalov received the report, he had cleared the position and was about to lead his men to continue charging up the mountain.
It was not unusual to receive a news report, but what was strange was that the specific content of the news report really surprised Kulbalov.
I originally thought it would be a "how is the situation" report, at least Kulbalov himself thought it would be like this.
But when the radio actually came through, the content of what was shouted on the other end was actually a completely different story.
"Comrade Commander, the Germans didn't fire a single shot, they all surrendered!"
???
For a moment, Kulbalov even thought that he had heard wrongly. No matter whether it was a donkey hair plugged in his ear or a problem with the radio machine, in short, this news that sounded so outrageous should not be
real.
"What did you say? Surrender!? How many Germans are there? Tell me clearly what the situation is now!"
The fighting at the bottom of the hillside has been cleared, and the remaining German infantry, seeing no hope of escape, directly chose to surrender. This result was not unexpected, it was quite normal.
Because of this, Kurbalov had time to pick up the radio and ask about the specific situation. He had to understand the general situation before actually going to see it, and he needed to do it now.
"A battalion, all artillery, a whole battalion of self-propelled artillery, a new thing that I have never seen before! When we came over, they were preparing to run away, everything was loaded on the truck, and the heavy equipment was not in combat condition. They were doing nothing.
It was too late. The fascist leader was so smart that when he saw this situation, he immediately ordered everyone to surrender."
"..."
Kulbalov's current expression, holding the radio microphone in his hand, is almost the same as the "Subway Old Man Cellphone" emoticon...
Although the Wehrmacht of 1944 is no longer as good as it used to be, with a bunch of crotchless troops, but after the battle with the Grossdeutschland Division, Kulbalov always felt that the Germans still had a fighting spirit in general.
Even if they want to surrender, they are not as stubborn as the Grossdeutschland Division, but they have to be willing to resist even if it doesn't work, right? In other words, this is the true situation of most Wehrmacht troops today.
But for this whole artillery battalion to raise its hands and surrender without even fighting, Kulbalov really didn't expect it. It could even be said that he doubted the authenticity of the news. He found it too incredible.
After blinking and listening to the report coming from the radio channel, Kulbalov was stunned for a long time. Thinking of what he should do next, Kurbalov belatedly gave the order.
"Watch the Germans and don't make any trouble. I'll be there soon! Especially the heavy equipment, you must keep it well. Do you understand?"
An entire battalion of new German self-propelled guns was captured, a rare event that had never happened before.
Based on the idea that "even if it is garbage, you have to get all the garbage in your hands to take a look." Kulbalov paid special attention to the newly captured equipment.
Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario.
If those new self-propelled artillery guns of the Germans were really effective, then the meaning of this whole thing would be very different, completely different.
This whole battalion of self-propelled artillery was obtained just enough to be used by myself. I tried to find a way to get enough manpower. Now Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division had an extra self-propelled artillery battalion. From now on, there will be three more self-propelled artillery battalions.
A battalion of self-propelled artillery. To support heavy firepower, there is never too much. The more the better.
Kurbalov didn't think much about whether this idea was realistic or not. Anyway, it was possible to think about it without breaking the law.
And when Kurbalov led his team halfway, he remembered that such an important event had to be reported to the division commander.
He had been busy non-stop from beginning to end. First he was busy fighting, and then he was busy rushing up the hillside due to emergencies. In short, he had never been idle for even a second. If it hadn't suddenly occurred to him now, Kulba
Love actually almost forgot about such a thing, and the report to Malashenko was quickly transmitted along the radio signal.
"What did you say? The Germans' hidden heavy artillery unit has been taken care of? Everyone surrendered???"
Like Kulbalov's initial reaction, Malashenko's first reaction when he heard this was also: Damn, is this guy's head twitching or is the world really that crazy? The Germans surrendered without firing a single shot.
?French Legion, this is it.
Holding the microphone in his hand, he pondered for a long time before regaining his composure. Unlike Kulbalov, Malashenko did not bother to run immediately to see what the specific situation was like. Yu Dang
Let's talk about it. The top priority before Malashenko is to first attack the Germans' shabby positions that have been blown to pieces by his own people's artillery fire.
"Over there, you should make a rough deal with the specific situation first, and we will discuss the specific matters after the fight is over. Mobilize troops to move closer to me, and clean up all the Germans along the way, so hurry up!"
It's funny to say that because of the ferocious firepower of the Germans' crazy shelling on their own heads, the frontal offensive commanded by Malashenko himself was forced to pause.
A large number of Red Army soldiers and tank crews who were charging fiercely, with loud killing sounds and adrenaline soaring, had to find cover on the newly captured enemy positions and watched helplessly.
The shelling blew up the Germans on the opposite side and knocked them upside down.
Ironically, most of the soldiers who did not know the truth even applauded and applauded the "bold" artillery fire of their own field artillery.
Of course, this "irony" is directed at the German army, not the Red Army.
It's just that neither the German soldiers who were bombed nor the Soviet soldiers who were admiring the German bombings knew the truth behind it.
Under Malashenko's order, the offensive that had been forced to suspend resumed again with the termination of the shelling.
The is6 heavy tanks that had stopped not long ago were once again put into battle, covering the charging Red Army soldiers behind them and continuing to rush forward, using powerful direct firepower to destroy any enemy who dared to block the way in a dilapidated position right in front.
Sexual blow.
Even without the "telecommunications fraud" bombardment that hit our own heads, it was only a matter of time before the remaining German positions were breached.
In the final analysis, that round of "friendly fire" shelling only served as a catalyst to accelerate the attack.
But it is undeniable that the German enemy, who had just been bombed in one round, would indeed be even weaker in their subsequent resistance.
If the previous resistance was a desperate effort, then the current resistance is completely feeble.
Malashenko stayed at his position as the commander of the vehicle and commanded the troops to press forward and attack step by step. The scene of the battlefield seen in the commander's periscope felt like the German army was in a state of "I want to fight to the death."
I will fight to the end, but I can really only do this, reaching my limit."
At this point in the battle, there is nothing more to say. The Germans are at their wits end and have exhausted all their trump cards. He clearly understands the reality in front of him. Malashenko does not want to continue to waste time with this group of defeated soldiers. After cleaning up the trash, he still has some left.
There is other work to do.
As Kulbalov's main regiment turned around and joined in, returning to the frontal battlefield, the increasingly fierce and overwhelming offensive crushed the last backbone of the German army. The German army, which lacked vital armored forces, seemed to be in danger.
