"It seems quite easy to get rid of that SS leader. Comrade Commander, he thought he would continue to make rude remarks to you and resist to the end. Maybe he should say congratulations to you for successfully getting rid of a stubborn Nazi."
"."
Silently, he turned his head and looked sideways at Alsim beside him, followed closely by him.
Malashenko, who had just left the building and was standing on the curb, signaled to stay in the car and asked Alsim to chat with him while walking.
"Do I really think that Wittmann was taken advantage of by him like that? So relaxed and happy that he was surrendered with almost no effort?"
".That"
Facing Malashenko's rhetorical question, Alsim was really confused.
I had a vague feeling that Comrade Commander's question meant that what he said was not wrong or not completely wrong. However, after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't figure out what was wrong. Alsim felt helpless and had to be honest with Malashenko.
replied.
"Comrade Commander, he doesn't think clearly. But his intuitive feeling is that since he is like that, and his whole person is completely out of control and collapsed, doesn't that mean that you have broken through his psychological defense?"
Alsim had been a scout for a long time, before he became a combat engineer. During the Finnish battlefield, he would ride on skis, grab tongues, and sneak behind enemy lines. This was different from Alsim, who was born as an old Siberian hunter.
It was a piece of cake for me, and my reputation gradually started to grow from that time on.
Of course, Alsim has also mastered considerable skills in capturing and interrogating prisoners, especially in the area of rapid on-the-spot interrogation behind enemy lines where prisoners cannot be brought back.
Under what circumstances can a wrongfully captured prisoner be judged as having lost his psychological defense line? He will tell the truth, and he will almost always know which ones are true and which are false.
That's why Alsim said that Malashenko had defeated Wittmann based on the previous situation. After all, it was true based on past experience, and Alsim was not a person who believed in his own intuition and judgment.
But Malashenko didn't think so. After hearing Alsim's words, he continued to smile, and then walked and talked to reveal the truth to Alsim and answer his questions.
"I'm right about one thing. Whether his psychological defense has collapsed, but that has nothing to do with whether he has been taken advantage of. They are two different things to look at separately."
"."
Alsim did not answer the question, knowing that Malashenko had not finished what he said, and also knew that Comrade Commander of the Red Army had missed his emphasis on training, so he was patiently teaching the lesson, and immediately continued to prick up his ears and pay attention with a grateful heart.
listen.
"That guy Wittmann is different from any Nazi I have ever encountered before. He can be said to be the most stubborn of the die-hard Nazis, and there is not even one of them. Even if there is, he is the most stubborn one now.
Only Rudel of the Luftwaffe, who had long since surrendered in the British- and American-controlled areas, can be compared with him, which shows how stubborn this person is."
"I don't know if you noticed it before when you were in Germany, or if he noticed it."
"From the time when they arrived in East Prussia, he could always see Wittmann's figure in various leaflets, street posters, and even elementary school students' extracurricular readings. His mugshot was almost everywhere.
No, on that lying radio station, there are special reports on him almost every now and then."
"At that time, he concluded that Wittmann must not have been killed by the Allies. He was very much alive! Because there are living fanatics, it has such propaganda value and significance."
"That situation continued all the way to Berlin, until they stormed into the core area of the Reichstag. He could still find something related to him after crossing the Moltke Bridge. This made that guy unknown to everyone.
I don’t know if it’s everywhere.”
"To use an inappropriate metaphor, the propaganda treatment that Malashenko received in the Soviet Union was almost the same as the propaganda treatment that Wittmann received in Germany."
"The difference is that between him and him, one is not a lieutenant general and the other is a major and battalion commander; one is a winner and the other is a loser."
"But these do not prevent him from understanding him and having a clear understanding of how stubborn he is. It is precisely because the two of them have similar experiences that he can better understand how stubborn he is.
It’s hard to be convinced, even if Nazu is dead.”
"The Nazis gave him everything he pursued in his life. He basically took possession of all the fame, fortune and glory. That's different from ordinary soldiers like Krause. He could easily take away from them. But because of what the Nazis gave them
It was very little, but it took away a lot from them, which was completely out of proportion. They had already lost confidence and were eager to find another enlightened master. His appearance at that time was like they grasped a life-saving straw, but Wei Te
Man is different."
After walking a certain distance, he turned around and motioned for Alsim to follow him and continue walking back. Halfway through the leisurely stroll, he did not forget to give Alsim a cigarette and smoked it together while walking.
"Then I gave that guy Wittmann too many things, enough to turn a normal person with a sophisticated mind into a conquered tool of war."
"To be honest, I'm not sure whether he can completely defeat Wittmann. He has to give it a try. The first thing he needs to do is to break down his psychological defense. What he will choose after that is still full of uncertainty, but at least he has to give in.
He knew that Hong Na Cui was dead and that there was no point in continuing to serve Na Cui with all his filial piety and loyalty. There were things more worthy of him fighting for than the dead Na Cui, no matter how big or small, in the country or at home."
"Also, although none of them have experienced that stage now, Alsim. Do I know where the biggest cognitive turning point is in a man's life? Let him test me."
Alsim knew that he rarely got wrong answers to the questions that Comrade Commander was testing on new knowledge, but it was not very good if he didn't answer them, so he blurted out an answer he could think of.
"When you become an adult? From a boy to a man?"
"No, not when a man becomes a father."
"."
Arsim was touched by a blind spot in knowledge and could not speak anymore, while Malashenko's narrative continued.
"When a man becomes a father, he will experience the feeling of being a father and then understand his father and recall his past as a child; he will also understand his mother because of his wife who is pregnant in ten months.
How difficult it is to get pregnant and give birth."
"If you simply have a wife, it's nothing. But once you have a child, a man is destined to be unable to leave his family and career and give up everything as he did in the past. At least, most men on this earth cannot do that.
.”
"And he has thankfully determined one thing through the test he just conducted, and Wittmann is no exception. Even though he has been reduced to a tool of Nazism, he still has a lot of humanity left, and his collapse and
Crying uncontrollably is not just crying for Nazism, but it is crying for his fate and all that he has given up."
"Human nature always has its weaknesses, that's why he said that to me for the first time. The weaknesses of human nature are like weapons. Whether it is good or bad to use them to act and achieve your goals depends on who the target is.
It is not advisable to harm one's own comrades, but whether it is against the enemy or against those who have a slight chance of redemption and are worthy of use, he is happy to use that invisible and intangible weapon."
"He had a premonition that Alsim. If he were to deal with someone like Wittmann, his wife and children would be in critical need for a breakthrough. Intimidation and coercion are not advisable, but if he knows that everything he has done can help his wife
If the child is given a hopeful and beautiful tomorrow, he will make a serious choice, even if it is against his past beliefs or a battle between a father and a Nazi."
"And what they want to do is to help the father defeat the evil demon in his heart and let him regain hope for the future."
"He Malashenko has killed countless Nazis on the battlefield. If the battlefield is changed to another situation, he is still confident that he can do it."
"The tug-of-war with Wittmann can be expected to last for a long time. Whether or not his psychological defenses can be broken down is very uncertain. The war between my father and the Nazis has just begun."
Malashenko hoped that Alsim could understand what he said. Even if he couldn't think clearly about it now, he could just write it down and study it slowly when he has a chance.
After all, life is not a subject that requires a lifetime to learn. It is never too late to start learning at any time.
When Malashenko drove back to the military headquarters, Alsim, who was traveling with him, did not leave directly, but followed Malashenko's order and followed him to the office.
It took a while for Wittmann's troubles to be resolved temporarily, at least for the first stage.
There were still more pressing matters that Bonomarashenko wanted to discuss with Alsim, so as to decide whether to accept the combat plan that Alsim had personally compiled and sent.
According to the feedback from the patrol troops, the patrol frequency, time points, and configuration of the Yue troops on the river bank in recent days are basically fixed, and there will be no new changes.
Among them, during the night patrol in the latter half of the night, the Red Army patrol noticed that one of the patrols was always led by a Lunar Army major, who had the highest official position among all the Lunar Army patrols that day.
It’s strange to say that the Japanese army seemed to insist on announcing their existence. They were afraid that the Red Army on the other side of the river would not know that they were patrolling. They seemed to be asking the Red Army to know, “He is patrolling at a high frequency, so I don’t want to come over.”
He will definitely find out when I come."
During the night patrol, every Japanese soldier had a torch in his leg. If the night patrol couldn't light a torch on Dongyu day, he would electrocute his leg. In short, he just wanted to be the "brightest star in the night sky" to increase his sense of presence.
Malashenko didn't know whether one of his "wise men" came up with such an idea.
But the legs that rely on declaring their presence to scare people are not only useless, but also make the Major of the Moon Army, who is carrying a command knife and leading the patrol at the front, be illuminated brightly and dazzling.
The Red Army patrol on the other side of the river took a look at the high-magnification binoculars prepared by Ti Chuanqi, and could easily see their military ranks. It happened to be illuminated by the Moon Army's own torches, which was quite cooperative.
In this way, Malashenko began to hatch a bolder plan.
Considering that the first wave of river-crossing troops forced to cross the Ussuri River, they must take assault boats to seize the beach and defend the beachhead on the wrong side of the river to build pontoon bridges.
If a large force of the Moon Army charges at that time, especially if the Kwantung Army's bunch of bastards have already obtained the tiger's prerequisites, coupled with the Japanese's desperate long-lived charge, it will be very anxious.
level of threat.
The Lord is asking you to concentrate on the time when the light infantry defends the beachhead position on the wrong side of the river and covers the erection of the pontoon bridge. If you want to survive that period and wait for the heavy equipment to cross the river, then everything will be easy to say.
But Malashenko does hope that the more clear and detailed the situation of the enemy deployments on the other side of the river can be known, the better.
For example, what kind of troops will the Japs come from in which direction, and what kind of anti-beach raid reserve force will be prepared. Once you understand those situations, you can make targeted deployments. Another example is based on the Japs' deployment situation, the general's advance army will be prepared.
Where to place the artillery fire damage area and how to concentrate the firepower will undoubtedly greatly reduce the risk factor during the beach landing stage.
It is true that there is a low chance that Baichongzi will cause big trouble, but it is always better to be more prepared for everything.
What's more, the opportunity was clearly right in front of him, and Malashenko asked himself that he had no reason to let it go.
As a result, Malashenko took up the idea of the night patrol major who was the closest and easiest to get a leg from.
The title of Major is either high or low. Generally speaking, it is at the level of a Japanese captain.
But the mistake of the captain is that he usually knows the basic deployment of the regiment, and if he knows the deployment of a Japanese regiment, he can basically guess the distribution of the troops of the Moon Army at the division level.
Mainly looking for the reason, it must be attributed to the Kwantung Army's ability to parry the Red Army's offensive at this stage, and basically adopted the centralized deployment of divisions. It can be regarded as knowing that at that time, it would be purely to spread the beans like a rampage outside the pass.
Delivering food to the Red Army is not so stupid as to be ignorant.
So was that the main reason why Malashenko wanted to "try his luck by arresting a major"? The Japanese patrol units must not be deployed too far along the river, and it is clear where their stations are and how their troops are deployed.
It will be very helpful.
If luck is good enough, there may even be other surprises, and the captured Japanese Major may know more valuable information.
As for the Japanese being stubborn but refusing to speak, that is not a problem for Malashenko.
Not to mention that Alsim's tough guy was there, but Krauser was very panicked in those two days, fearing that Malashenko would not assign him a task, which would make him worry that he had nothing to do.
No, no, it has lost its use value.
I would say that it would be exciting to send a few Japanese prisoners to the Germans' Legs for trial and then eat some "set meals". Anyway, Malashenko would want to laugh just thinking about such a scene.
I wonder if I, the little devil, would have joined the German allies on the battlefield in that way.
So when Alsim led a team to cross the river to capture prisoners, it was even more important to put on a good show.
