People who have not personally experienced the heartbreaking pain are not qualified to teach themselves a lesson, Malashenko thinks so.
What he has done may be criticized by some people, but no matter what, Malashenko, who has endured the grief of extremely important comrades leaving his side time and time again, has never let go of the lingering feeling in his heart.
hatred.
That's right, it's hate.
There was a time when Malashenko felt lost, painful, and even overwhelmed by the huge hole in his heart after losing his comrades.
But later, when Malashenko discovered that this pain could be filled with the pleasure of hatred and revenge, Malashenko vowed to let the German fascists, who had committed heinous crimes and committed bad deeds, also have a taste of themselves.
The feeling of suffering.
After touching the marshal's scepter for the second time, Malashenko finally held it in his hand without letting go. The strong pleasure of revenge filled in his heart made the corners of Malashenko's mouth gradually start to raise uncontrollably.
"You just asked my name, right?"
Paulus said nothing and just stared at Malashenko with his murderous eyes. This guy who looked as poor as a lowly farmer really brought him too much humiliation.
"Since you want to know, I might as well tell you."
"I am Colonel Malashenko, Dimitri Drukovich Malashenko, commander of the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Brigade of the Soviet Red Army. I guess you must have heard of this name. Am I right?
?”
The words from Malashenko's mouth were not so much a rhetorical question as a malicious and mocking provocation, at least in Paulus's own view.
Malashenko, Dimitri Drukovich Malashenko, this is someone Paulus had seen more than once in intelligence documents, and he hated him so much that he gritted his teeth and got deep into his bones, but no matter what, he
They all have the name of a stubborn copper pea that cannot be smashed or broken by a hammer.
The first time I heard Malashenko's name was in the early stages of the Battle of Stalingrad, during the offensive and defensive battle at Stalingrad No. 1 Railway Station.
"There is no other way. All tactics, technical equipment, offensive formations, and every conceivable method have been used. But the Russians are still like flies surrounding carrion that cannot be driven away no matter what!"
"In fact, it is not very accurate to say that the Russians are flies. It can only describe their tenacity towards the train station. The ferocity of the Russians in a real battle is like a tiger defending its newly acquired prey. Anyone who dares to get close to the train
Everyone who stands must be prepared to be devoured by this tiger."
"...The brutal battle was not like our offensive battle at all. The Russians fought us in the ruins of the train station, among the wreckage, and even among the corpses of their comrades! They launched attacks on us dozens of times
The swift and fierce counter-attacks took back the occupied areas that we had already captured time and time again. They kept going back and forth, and more and more corpses of the enemy and ourselves were piled up..."
"No one gave up their position and no one retreated. The soldiers who rushed to the position had to use more bloody and cruel hand-to-hand combat to deal with the last enemy. This kind of battle that often involves death is a test of the courage and will of the soldiers. Only the true brave can
The last laugh.”
"...Those Russian heavy tanks are more difficult to deal with than their infantry. The thick armor makes it almost impossible for our tanks to do any damage from the front. We can only find ways to use roundabout tactics to seek opportunities for flanking."
"And once the Russian tanks fall into a huge crisis, or they feel that they have fallen into a huge crisis, then there is no doubt that the real fierce battle has just begun. The Russian tanks will use piles of burning steel to
Wreck shows you what madness is."
"Scenes that are more like traffic accidents than tank battles are happening all the time...Russian heavy tanks take advantage of their tonnage advantage to collide with our tanks. It often happens that one is hit by one head and injured or even directly killed in the car.
, there are many armored soldiers who suffered bloody blows."
"As I said before, those Russians will definitely fight until their tanks become flaming wrecks. This is a group of armored soldiers coming from hell! Their designation has been identified as the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment
, the leader is a young lieutenant colonel in his twenties, a Russian, a communist, a die-hard evil Bolshevik, very dangerous and cruel! He will use all means to destroy the enemy, this is what I have experienced personally
The facts that have been passed are not mixed with any falsehood."
Paulus sent his most trusted capable officers to lead the team to resolve the battle in the direction of the train station, but what he got in the end was not a message celebrating the victory, but a summary of the failure that seemed like a funeral.
A furious Paulus did not believe the authenticity of the summary report. He shouted to a group of staff officers and senior officers in the office that if every Russian officer in his twenties was so good at fighting, then Germany would be able to conquer Europe.
It’s good to keep it!
But the fact is that Russia is only on the last step before collapse. The facts before us are enough to prove that this report is lying, shirking responsibility, and looking for excuses!
Although there were many people in the Sixth Army Headquarters who supported Paulus's statement, the battle at Mamayev Ridge that followed once again mercilessly slapped everyone in the face.
The legendary Russian heavy tank unit appears again!
The battle on Mamayev Hill was ended by the Russians in one day, and all the previous efforts of the German army were in vain! Even the small number of heavy artillery deployed on the top of the hill fell into the hands of the Russians before they could be evacuated.
The spoils of war, in turn, turned the muzzle of the guns and started bombarding the Germans themselves. It was extremely ironic!
Paulus was so angry that he was almost jumping around in the office. He asked to pay close attention to the movements of the Russians and report them immediately if there was any situation. Paulus even personally took action and resumed his old job as a staff officer.
, formulated several practical and flexible capture plans, in an attempt to put this elite Russian ace in a pot and suffocate them all in one breath.
But it is a pity that before the plan formulated by Paulus could be implemented, the development of the entire Stalingrad battle had already changed.
The troops originally planned to capture the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment were all swallowed up by the intensifying fighting and were forced to serve as reserves and engage in more brutal street fighting.
Sometimes, when reflecting on why his Sixth Army had reached this point, Paulus even felt that...
If the train station could be successfully captured, if Mamayev Heights could be firmly held in the palm of my hand, wouldn't today's result be like this?
After many random thoughts, the focus of the conflict naturally fell on Malashenko, the scapegoat. From beginning to end, Paulus never forgot this name that made him gnash his teeth with hatred.
