Therefore, since the war has reached this point, the situation has become so clear and obvious.
No matter how the possible battle situation is deduced, as long as the Red Army troops participating in the battle on all fronts can be level and perform normally, and they do not make any big mistakes or mistakes, then the next battle cannot be guaranteed, at least 90%
The above grasp will basically continue to progress according to this situation. Even if there is a slight deviation, it is still very different.
The remaining 10% possibility is completely within the controllable and acceptable range of the Red Army. As a macro controller, Vatutin asks himself that he is confident and more capable to deal with any possible situation that may arise under the current situation.
emergencies.
To sum up, this is the overall strategic situation. Why can Vatutin be so bold to let Malashenko go to fight? The answer is natural: Completed a fully mechanized upgrade and adaptation, and has
The synthesized leader division with corps-level independent combat capabilities should be the best choice to turn the Germans' empty defense rear area upside down. There is no one.
Vatutin’s conceptual layout is like this. Malashenko, who has worked with Vatutin for a long time, can certainly understand the leader’s thoughts and is even more grateful to Vatutin for being able to build such a gorgeous place in East Prussia.
A smooth stage for you to express yourself and show off your own war art and the leader's powerful and powerful ultimate combat power.
It is no exaggeration to say that the strategic play that Vatutin is currently implementing is based on the entire Belarusian Third Front centered around the leader division.
It is said that other fraternal units under the front army are cooperating with the leader's division to carry out frontal containment and follow-up reinforcement operations. According to this, it is okay to understand it. No one can deny it, because this is the reality of what is happening. It is just that
It's just that we have different understandings based on different starting points for looking at the problem. It's just that simple.
His eyes jumped to the battlefield, and after chasing and beating the leading German troops who were anxious to escape for their lives, Malashenko, who was waiting for the arrival of subsequent reinforcements and defense replacement troops, still had to defend his front.
He must not let the 41st Armored Corps, which has lost half of its life, slip away from under his nose and escape.
Otherwise, the Leader Division will still have to waste time and effort in field operations to clear out the remaining forces of the 41st Armored Corps. This is not to say that Malashenko deliberately seeks a battle and must fight, but that he realizes that the Leader Division is fast.
After the heinous fully mechanized roundabout operation, the German army will inevitably dispatch the remnants of the 41st Armored Corps, the closest field group with a certain amount of remaining armor strength, to intercept the leader's division and try to defeat the leader at all costs.
be prevented.
Moreover, various follow-up German reinforcements that can be mobilized will also come in a steady stream, like tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. By then, it may not be possible to quickly kill Malashenko, the remnant of the 41st Armored Corps, but even if he wants to leave,
If you can't walk, your legs and feet are completely stuck, subsequent deep penetration operations will also come to nothing. Such a result is unacceptable to Comrade Ma anyway.
Because of this, Malashenko, who came with all the main combat troops of the leadership division, has already made up his mind. Today's matter is "I opened this road and planted this tree." You said you have thought about it?
This way?
I'm sorry, let alone the money to buy the road, you are just a leader who chopped off his head and presented it, used his life to buy the road, fought flexible defense in the field, and gave full play to the characteristics of fully mechanized and strong tactical mobility.
I will never let you pass, it's that simple.
Malashenko, who does what he says, certainly does more than just talk, and his actual actions are also progressing at a rapid pace.
The follow-up main force of the Leader's Division, which came quickly with a steady stream of fully mechanized marches, soon centered on the tactical node that Malashenko had laid down and stood firm, expanded to both sides, and moved the troops according to the pre-planned combat plan.
, filling up the entire width of the battlefield one by one, assuming the full posture of the leader and division, going all out, ready to fight at any time.
On the other hand, the performance of the German army was not satisfactory. Although it seemed to be slow in response, it was reasonable and normal.
An infantry division was beaten to the point of peeing, corpses strewn across the fields, and a handful of remnants rolled back. Even the mobile division headquarters, together with the division commander and chief of staff, did not know whether they were dead or alive and "missed" in the battle. Contact us
After I couldn’t find anyone, I couldn’t find anyone.
Realizing that on the battlefield not far away, there might be an unimaginably powerful Soviet field group opening its bloody mouth. By the time it passed, the 41st Armored Corps, which had almost completely lost the ability to judge the battlefield situation, should have
He didn't dare to continue running forward rashly, for fear that he would fall into the tiger's mouth if he continued to rush forward in such a swaggering manner.
It is indeed very appropriate to describe the current 41st Armored Corps as being surrounded on all sides and frightened.
The command of the 41st Armored Corps still does not understand one thing: how much force the Russians used and what a powerful group of heavy troops they used to attack frontally, stab them in the waist, and finally cut off their retreat to pursue and intercept them.
Of course, the command of the 41st Armored Corps, which has no clear understanding of the new concept of a fully mechanized combined arms corps, let alone its true combat capabilities, would not have thought of it.
The Soviet army that stabbed itself in the waist yesterday and ate alive a main reinforced armored division from the junction of the flanks is actually the same group of enemies as the Soviet army that cut off its retreat and beat an infantry division crying for its mother today. They are "unable to stand".
The "Iron Butcher" Malashenko, who changed his name without changing his surname, and the "Stalin Guards" he commanded.
The command of the 41st Armored Corps, who was unaware of this situation, even mistakenly thought that the Russians had mobilized at least one from the front, and one more from the side and the back. A total of two tank armies were deployed to pursue and intercept them before they could attack.
Such a sensational tactical effect.
Although the judgment results based on the wrong judgment of the battlefield situation are very outrageous compared with the truth, this does not mean that the 41st Armored Corps will just sit back and wait for death. After all, this group of Germans still has a main armored division in their hands.
, as well as a multi-armed combat force that is sufficient to cooperate with the actions of this armored force.
I don't dare to say that I can definitely win, but at least I have the capital to try to make a comeback in adversity. Maybe I can really break through and rush out some people, but I can't say that.
To take a step back, you still have the capital to make a comeback. If you just surrender without doing anything, that would be a bit unreasonable, right?
Therefore, when Malashenko commanded his main force to fill the frontal battlefield and actively prepare for war, he no longer conducted rapid marches, but instead concentrated on gathering troops and gathering offensive energy. At the same time, the Germans were also doing what they thought they were doing.
It is the preparation to go all out and give it a final try.
No one on either side of the war wasted time, everyone was seizing the opportunity.
A fierce collision between steel and flesh in this world of ice and snow is inevitable and is about to come.
