"I heard you're having some problems over there, Malashenko."
"."
Without any extra words, Zhukov said this straight to the point as soon as he came up. Malashenko was stunned on the spot and blinked his eyes.
"Damn, what bastard is so quick to talk? I haven't even reported this to Chuikov yet. I've already called Zhukov. Damn it."
Of course, the above content is limited to what he thinks in his mind. It is absolutely impossible for Malashenko to say this directly on the phone.
As a division commander, Malashenko still knows what to say now.
"It's just a small trouble, it can be said to be insignificant. We already have the corresponding solution here and are preparing to execute a new round of attack. The established goal will not change or waver at all, and must be completed resolutely and thoroughly.
.”
Although I say this on my lips, what I actually think in my heart is a completely different story.
To be honest, Malashenko cannot come up with the "optimal solution" in the traditional understanding. The plan currently prepared is just a slight adjustment based on the original combat plan, and the loss issue was not considered at the beginning.
Too willing to commit the Rocket Assault Battalion into battle.
Although this can greatly enhance the direct fire strike capability of the leader division, the risks that come with it are the same. It is impossible for Malashenko to enjoy the firepower bonus while also perfectly avoiding the risks. Such a good thing
Children only exist in ideals and not on battlefields.
Fundamentally, it can only be said that the current combat objectives must be completed first, and only then can we be qualified to talk about how to carry out the next step.
If I am stuck on the Zelo Highlands and am unable to complete the mission within the stipulated time, it will be meaningless to talk about how much strength I have left to fight the Battle of Berlin. Even the preliminary tasks will not be completed.
, what kind of post-mission are you talking about? Malashenko, who was forced to have no choice but to do this, had no choice but to make this move, and hoped that it would be effective.
Malashenko's voice gradually faded, but there was no reply from Zhukov on the other end of the phone. This made Comrade Ma, holding the phone in his hand, feel uneasy and a bit nervous, but he did not expect that Zhukov would
He suddenly spoke in the next second.
"It is good to be determined, I agree with this, Malashenko."
"But if, and I mean if, if there's anything I need help with, I guess it wouldn't be a bad thing to bring it up when the time comes, don't you think?"
"."
Zhukov said it as tactfully as possible, but Malashenko could still hear it in an instant as a hint, and the only target could only be himself.
Sometimes, it often takes a lot of courage to say a word. These words are often derived from difficult things that are difficult to say, just like what Malashenko is doing now.
Although there were reasons to hesitate or even deny emotionally and realistically based on multiple considerations, after a short ideological struggle and anxious thinking, Malashenko, who had the upper hand with reason, finally plucked up the courage to say
That sentence came out.
"You are right, Comrade Commander, I apologize to you for my hesitation and concealment just now."
"The reality is that I am indeed planning to invest the last heavy fire support unit of the Leader Division. Once this unit is put in, I will no longer have heavy fire support at hand."
"Although I still have a large number of reserves in my hands, without the ability to invest more heavy fire support, this is undoubtedly the "peak of attack" that the current leader division can achieve. This is what we are currently doing in Ze
The strongest attack energy that can be produced in the combat environment of Luo Highlands."
Malashenko explained briefly the troubles he was currently encountering and the corresponding solutions. Zhukov on the other end of the phone thought for a moment after hearing this and quickly gave a reply.
"That's it, I understand."
"I wonder if you have thought about this question, Malashenko. If you still can't achieve a breakthrough result after reaching such an "offensive peak", what are you going to do next? Are you planning to continuously invest your reserve team?
Go in and fill in the lines and mingle with those Nazis, or are you going to call Chuikov or me directly to ask for support?"
"I know that you will not stop attacking and admit defeat. With your character, you will not do that. So I believe that you should make a choice between these two results. What will you choose? Malashenko."
"."
As Malashenko's boss and most important promoter, Zhukov was familiar with Malashenko's character and his combat style, and could guess what Malashenko would probably do in certain situations.
As soon as this question came out of his mouth, Malashenko was left speechless.
After holding the microphone in his hand for several seconds and thinking deeply, even his palms were sweating, Malashenko, who was convinced that he had come up with the answer, finally spoke again.
"I think it's probably the latter, Comrade Commander. Although the war situation has encountered some difficulties, it is far from the level that makes me lose my mind. I know clearly what I should do now and in the near future, and I will do it
We are actively preparing for long-term planning. We don’t have the time and extra troops to play the meat grinder game with the Germans on this damn high ground. If the situation comes to a last resort, I will definitely request reinforcements from my superiors. Facing reality proactively is always better than being angry.
The subconscious irrational behavior is more meaningful."
"."
"I'm glad to hear you think so, Malashenko. You have truly mastered the basics necessary for a senior commander, instead of being a major general who has just entered the threshold. This is good news."
Huh, boss, if you can say that, that’s really great.
Malashenko, who was thinking about this in his heart and took a long breath, before he could put the stone in his heart to the ground, Zhukov on the other end of the phone changed the subject and continued to speak.
"But there's still a problem."
"Why do you have to wait until the situation is absolutely necessary? Have I restricted the conditions for you to apply for support? Have I required you to achieve any goals to be eligible for support? No."
"Then there is no need for you to wait until the situation is absolutely necessary before requesting support. Whether you want to show the strength of the leadership division or have other plans, you must understand that the battle we are experiencing will completely destroy Germany.
In the last battle before destruction, the tenacity of the enemies encountered cannot be underestimated."
"Now we have made it clear what we want to say to each other, so make your demands, Malashenko, you know what to do and I am sure you will make the right choice now."
"."
Having said this, how could Malashenko, who didn't know what Zhukov meant, swallowed lightly, and blurted out the words that he had been organizing words just now.
