After leaving the combat conference room and going outside the house, Malashenko felt inexplicably relaxed. This sense of joy from the heart made Malashenko even more determined to have an idea.
"Wild souls are not destined to stay in the headquarters. Staying there for even one more minute feels like suffering... In this life, I just want to keep my head off my belt. I can't blame others."
.”
Whether it was when he first came to this world or now, Malashenko has asked himself countless times, but without exception he found that he could only find a sense of peace of mind on the cruel battlefield in the cramped and narrow space inside the tank.
.
Buying medical insurance is for peace of mind, buying pension insurance is for peace of mind, getting married is for peace of mind, having children is for peace of mind. People spend their whole life living for peace of mind. Malashenko really wants to work hard to live like this
After the war, he went to hug his beautiful wife and have sex for a few days, but before that, Malashenko had to find his own peace of mind on the battlefield.
No matter at any time and under any circumstances, people can only live if they find their own peace of mind. A life without peace of mind will be like a person who has fallen into the water and is about to drown, leaving only panic and struggle.

Flickering flames jumped out of the lighter in Malashenko's hand, and Malashenko, who was accustomed to using cigarettes to numb himself, began to think about what was going to happen next.
"It's going to be very difficult to win tomorrow's battle, that's for sure. I just don't know how the Germans' defense arrangements are on the mountain. It would be troublesome if a large group of iron bastards were deployed on top."
The 1st Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment had just fought a victorious battle at the train station and their morale was high. Malashenko believed that his troops could play a positive leading role in morale and inspire those who were already at Mamayev Heights.
Exhausted after several days of fierce fighting in the war zone, but still unable to capture the enemy, the friendly troops rushed up the hill in one breath.
Malashenko was worried that the Germans would use armored forces to counter him.
The German armored forces were stationary and stopped from a high position. They had a 100% first-mover advantage and could wait for them to come to their doorstep.
Those latest Chang 75 Panzer IV tanks are enough to destroy T34 and KV1 from the front within normal combat distances, and judging from previous battle records, the current output of German Panzer IV tanks in this timeline is significantly higher than in the original history.
More came, so much so that a German armored company on the front line could at most replace an astonishing number of Panzer 75 IV tanks that were nearly half the length. Malashenko felt that this was one of the derivative results of his own butterfly effect.
"Damn, this is really troublesome! No matter how we fight, those German tanks squatting on the top of the mountain will hit us first. If there are too many of them, it will be troublesome!"
After all, Malashenko no longer knows much about the situation on the top of Mamayev Hill. He knows nothing about the specific defense situation of the German army, how many troops it has, and how much technical equipment it has.
Malashenko does not regret what he said at the meeting just now. At this point in the battle, there is no way to retreat. Retreating is a dead end! Losing Mamayev Hill is even more doomed!
In this case, Malashenko felt that it would be better to put all the money on the line and make a last-ditch gamble. You don't even have the courage to play like a hammer gambler.
After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't come up with any good solution. After all, it was still the Soviet army that was on the offensive side and not the German army that was defending the hill that was on the passive side.
How this battle will turn out depends to a large extent on the German army, which has an absolutely superior force and favorable defensive terrain, rather than on the Soviet side.
The only thing Malashenko could do was to forge the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment into a sharp knife, rush to the hill with a risk-of-life attitude and kill those naughty Germans till the end.
"Either I will crush your corpses, or my corpse will be covered in a tank and turned into a barbecue. There is no retreat from this battle tomorrow. If it drags on for another day or a half, the Germans may be blocking them under the hill and making dumplings.
The ending.”
Malashenko threw the cigarette butt to the bottom of his feet and stamped it out. Seeing that the meeting with Chuikov would not be finished for a while, Malashenko planned to go back to his regiment headquarters and quickly rest and sleep to regain his energy. Unexpectedly, just now
The communications staff officer who received him ran over again at this critical moment.
"Comrade Malashenko, please wait! Comrade Commander said he wants to see you now."
"...."
"I just want to have a good fucking sleep, why is it so hard!?"
Malashenko, whose eyelids were already fighting, had no other choice but to continue to brace himself and followed the communications staff officer back to the group army headquarters behind him. In the commander's office, he saw Comrade Cui who had just finished the meeting.
.
"Your speech at the meeting just now was great, Malashenko. To be honest, I only understood about 80% of it, and the remaining 21% was half-understood. But I am convinced of your speech.
It has mobilized everyone's morale and active thinking. After you left the meeting room just now, many people spoke freely and even agreed with your plan. We really need a decisive victory instead of continuing to look forward and backward."
While expressing affirmation and praise to Malashenko, Chuikov touched the cigarette case on his desk and took out two cigarettes and gave one to himself and Malashenko. The heart-to-heart exchanges between men often
It started from that puff of smoke.
"To be honest, Malashenko. I guess you also have some doubts about tomorrow's battle, and you can't guarantee that you will definitely win, is that right?"
Since Chuikov can stay in history on the list of famous generals, his reputation is not in vain.
Like his wild and unrestrained character, Chuikov, who is accustomed to getting straight to the point, never likes to hide things, especially Malashenko's impassioned speech that had the flavor of "all Germans will be killed tomorrow".
It made Chuikov feel that Malashenko was quite interested in him, so he said these sincere words to Malashenko without any falsehood.
A person will pretend countless times in his life, but some of them are only decided when the situation forces him to pretend, such as the situation Malashenko faced in the combat meeting just now.
"Comrade Commander, I believe that from your position, you should see it more clearly than I do. I can guarantee that the vast majority of people in the meeting just now, at least before I came to the meeting room, were looking left and right to judge the war situation and wanted to
It is guaranteed to be perfect and absolutely foolproof in all aspects, do you think so?"
