Malashenko, who can no longer wait any longer, now wants to personally go into battle to teach those stubborn rebels a lesson and try to avoid risks to the lowest possible level.
For all the comrades present, this is not a surprise, and can even be considered reasonable.
When it comes to stopping Malashenko, the idea has almost never crossed anyone's mind.
After all, "comrade division commander takes the lead in the charge" is almost as stereotyped in the minds of the middle and senior commanders who lead the division. Comrade division commander was not the one during any large-scale attack.
Go to the front line in person and command operations?
This small-scale street battle, which was not convenient for the group's forces, was a rare occasion for stability. He was sitting in command at the Kurbalov brigade headquarters outside the city. Instead of driving his mighty and domineering No. 177 IS7 heavy-duty vehicle.
Tanks enter the city and serve as meat grinders, grinding into minced meat all those who dare to use the mantis as a cart.
So now Malashenko says that he can't help it, he wants to take the lead in the charge, and act as a decisive force to open up the situation and quickly seal the victory. In the eyes of the comrades around him, this is also what "should be", and this is in line with comrades.
The consistent "stereotype" of teachers and comrades.
After all, in the Leader's Division, "Comrade Commander, I am with you" is what every soldier has the right to shout proudly. This is of course why the Leader's Division can burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness and morale every time it encounters a battle, regardless of the intensity.
One of the important reasons for this is that Malashenko's IS7 heavy tank, which is dressed like a Christmas tree, is the best mobile morale booster on the battlefield.
However, although it does not prevent Comrade Commander from doing this, it does not mean that he will stop saying anything else and be a mute. If there are things that need to be said or reminded, Malashenko will stand by.
Kurbalov felt that he still needed to say something.
"Three siege troops have been deployed so far, and the offensive progress of the three troops is almost as smooth as expected. We only need the last little time."
"I'm not saying you shouldn't go, Comrade Division Commander. But, taking into account the issue of troop density and operational efficiency optimization of rationally deploying offensive forces, wouldn't it be less necessary to open a fourth offensive channel? If so.
If we go up along the attack path that has been opened, we must also consider the problem that the troop density of this offensive path exceeds the upper limit. No matter how many attacking troops are invested, it may not be able to deploy."
Of course, what Kulbalov said cannot be regarded as stopping Malashenko. At most, it can only be regarded as a reminder to Malashenko: Comrade division commander, if you lead the team up here, how should you solve these two swings?
The problem at hand?
In this headquarters, Malashenko is the official who has the biggest final say at the moment. It is of course necessary for Kulbalov to seek instructions from Malashenko.
On the other hand, Malashenko was actually thinking about these two issues in his own mind. Malashenko was also thinking about these two things.
As Kulbalov's words faded, Malashenko, who had already thought of a corresponding solution, blurted out the prepared plan.
"What you said makes sense. These two factors really need to be taken into consideration."
"The siege force in the middle is making the fastest progress right now. Am I remembering correctly?"
Malashenko suddenly asked, and Kulbalov, who was staying close to the side, glanced at the map to confirm and immediately replied.
"Yes, Comrade Division Commander. The center siege force just sent news five minutes ago. Their attack process has passed halfway and they are advancing across the central block towards the enemy's last core defense area. It is expected that they will be able to defeat the enemy in about fifteen minutes.
When the enemy defenders in the core defense area come into contact, as long as more enemies don't jump out to cause trouble midway, there will be no problem."
"Middle Road. Middle Road"
"By the way, is Alsim responsible for clearing out the perimeter?"
Malashenko suddenly remembered that Alsim had also volunteered to lead a team to charge up, and the heavy-armed infantry such as combat engineers should not be responsible for the attack. Light infantry such as scouts should be used to clean up the perimeter.
Unexpectedly, Alsim not only accomplished the job, but also did it beautifully.
The first news of "mission accomplished" came from the center direction, which Alsim was responsible for. Now the offensive is progressing most smoothly, and the fastest advancement is also in the center. This inevitably makes Malashenko think of this machine with a brain full of
The humanoid war machine with "10,01 ways to kill a German stick" is probably working hard in the middle assault direction again with the steel men under him.
"That's right, the middle road is indeed the direction where Alsim leads the team and is responsible for clearing the outer security points. That's what you asked."
Kulbalov was still a little unfinished, and before he even finished speaking, Malashenko had already made the final decision.
"Very good, that's the middle road!"
"Contact the middle siege force and tell them that I will bring a heavy assault detachment to support. Their Panthers may encounter a lot of trouble in the final stage of the attack. We do not rule out the possibility that the enemy has heavy anti-tank firepower. Arrive.
At that time, I brought heavy tanks to the front to open a breakthrough, and positioned the center as the main attack direction, and we won the battle from here."
Speaking of the main direction of attack, one surprising thing is that Malashenko did not decide which direction the main attack would be at the beginning.
As for the reasons, they are rather complex and diverse.
One of the first problems is that this combat operation itself is full of early uncertainties.
For example, you cannot determine which of the three siege directions can complete the penetration mission as expected, clearing the outer security points without alerting the Germans in the city, thus opening the first stage of the attack path.
If the established main attack direction is exposed in advance, causing all the Germans in that direction in the city to rush out, and the supporting feint attack direction successfully solves the peripheral warning points, it can catch the Germans by surprise in their sleep, then
What should we do?
What else can be done? Is it possible that the troops in the main attack direction can be replaced with the troops in the feint attack direction? Is it fun for you to transfer troops and change troops when the war has started?
Therefore, there is no so-called distinction between the main attack direction and the feint attack direction in the first phase of the battle plan. Although the three siege forces have different equipment and slightly different troop compositions, their overall combat strength is basically the same, and they can all be regarded as the main force.
level.
"There are no assists, so I'll be the main attacker! I'm going to smash these naughty dogs today with a three-pronged approach!"
The above are the "bold words" Malashenko left on the spot after formulating the plan at the combat meeting.
