Malashenko was not prepared to suspend the attack, and the entire leadership division had no time to rest.
If you want to completely win the battle, you must complete a certain condition, a certain necessary task, and for the current leader, seizing the outer defense of the German stick to complete the breakthrough is only the first step.
The scorched earth that has been plowed through by the artillery fire of the group army is the top priority right now.
"Each vehicle crew keeps a distance between the vehicles, the infantry gets on the vehicle, and the standard attack formation is charged upward! Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe, attack!"
Malashenko's slightly anxious order echoed on the radio channel, lingering in the ears of every tank soldier who heard the news. Disturbing news followed almost at the same time.
"Enemy reinforcements have been discovered! They are approaching twelve o'clock and are approaching quickly! They have already rushed to the position!"
As the saying goes, what you are afraid of will come to you. If a person is unlucky, he will hit his heel when he farts.
The situation of missing the trip that Malashenko was most worried about finally came, but not in the form of not rushing at all, but in a way that was similar to "semi-not rushing".
It is said that it is "half-way" because not only the German reinforcements have arrived at the position, the vanguard troops have already entered, and the leader's division attack troops led by Malashenko have also arrived at the assault position and are about to make contact with the enemy.
This is like a mouse calling for help, but the tiger cat that feeds on the mouse has also rushed to the prey, raised its claws, opened its bloody mouth and prepared to attack. At least in Malashenko's view, it is basically similar.
Case.
So if you think about this kind of thing carefully, under such circumstances, not only is it not a bad thing, it may even be a good thing.
Didn't you German call for help?
Okay, I'll save you the trouble.
If you clean up one group, you just need to clean it up. If you clean up two groups, you can just get enough for one pair. You see, if I don’t get rid of it today, it will be over.
Malashenko's thinking this way is by no means an underestimation of the enemy, but an accurate judgment based on the current situation.
The Germans who had been covered by army-level artillery fire preparations had not yet fully recovered and were ready for combat. Most of the Germans who came to support from the rear positions were in a state of movement and were still maneuvering. A small number of them entered the position.
The Germans are not worth mentioning, and a tiny bit of time is simply not enough for them to deploy their defensive formations and complete their deployment.
So this is because the old Germans have been tortured to death and have not yet recovered, and the new Germans do not have enough time to put up a posture and cause trouble for Malashenko.
Then this is very "wonderful", so wonderful that Malashenko even wanted to say: "What the hell is such a good thing?"
Long before this battle actually started, Malashenko had said this to Lavrinenko.
"This bunch of fascist rubbish had better bring all their rubbish and rubbish with them, and don't leave any behind. After I have destroyed their main force, I will not have to go all over the mountains and fields to suppress their defeated soldiers and capture those deserters and prisoners of war.
"
The scene in front of you cannot be said to be that the Germans are out in force, packing all the garbage and rushing to deliver it, but at least it is another large force of life clearly placed in front of you, like a delicious meal that has just been cooked and served to the table.
, and you are just so hungry that your mouth is watering and you are screaming. If you don't pounce on it immediately and eat it to your heart's content, then what the hell are you waiting for?
"Attention all units, prepare for encounters! Don't hesitate to forcefully attack the enemy's defense line. Kill these German scum and their reinforcements together! Send them on their way!"
There are ways to storm a position by storm, and there are tactics corresponding to encounters when fighting an encounter.
Malashenko gave an excited order over the radio, and the subordinate commanders who heard the order immediately made corresponding adjustments and deployments, and then immediately issued the order through the radio that allowed real-time communication between mechanized infantry and tank units.
The change of the entire combat order is calculated in seconds, from division level to brigade level to regiment level, battalion level, company level, platoon level, down to the smallest "one vehicle equals one squad" level.
The unimpeded and rapid issuance of combat orders gave the Leader's Division strong battlefield adaptability. Never before has any Red Army unit been able to adjust and issue battlefield orders as quickly as the Leader's Division.
As a result, the remaining German troops who defended the scorched earth position witnessed with their own eyes how the large group of steel men rushing over in front of them quickly completed the formation change at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Among the troops following behind, a larger number of huge heavy tanks were quickly filled to the forefront of the formation, and the front line of the assault formation that originally maintained a certain distance between vehicles was quickly filled into a denser iron wall impact state. And those who were originally following closely
The infantry fighting vehicle behind its own heavy tank retreated slightly, leaving enough lanes and space for more heavy tanks to move forward.
The entire formation adjustment during the charge was smooth and smooth. There was no sense of sluggishness caused by sloppiness, lack of coordination, and insufficient understanding of orders and tactics. Of course, it was enough to make the opponent on the opposite side stare closely at this with a telescope.
The German commander who saw the situation was dumbfounded and shocked, and even couldn't understand it. It really "shocked my mother for a whole year."
The sight of flying dust and rapid advances at a glance is enough to give people an illusion, a very strong illusion.
It's as if the huge thing rushing towards you in the field of vision is not the Russian tanks and the torrent of steel, but the once airtight moving iron wall that is violently pressing towards your face. Stop it.
Anything in front of you will be shattered to pieces in an instant, and of course it will be enough to kill any Nazi who dares to use the mantis as a chariot.
"Damn it! Where did these Russians come from? I've never seen such a troop before, it's unheard of!"
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.
In the eyes of the German commanders who gathered at the forward observation post, the most shocking thing was not how well-equipped the Russians were. There were so many heavy tanks that they were so powerful that they exploded.
But the coordination and ability of these Russians to quickly change formations is simply outrageous!
You must know that this is a rapid change of formation during the charge. The entire process cannot even be calculated in minutes, but in seconds.
What kind of tacit understanding is this? It’s too outrageous to be able to do it just by radio, isn’t it?
The Germans were surprised, puzzled, and horrified beyond measure.
But in short, the wall of copper and iron that was coming towards us was still coming at a furious pace without slowing down, and was about to collide.
