Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2508 Don't Pity Anyone
Rodion Yakovlevich Malinovsky participated in the First World War, and entered the Frunze Military Academy during the two World Wars. He performed well in the Stalingrad Battle and was awarded the rank of Marshal.

At the beginning of the second Kharkov campaign, the Russian army suffered heavy losses. Malinovsky was questioned by the bearded man and transferred to the Southwest Front Army. He urgently needed to prove himself.

"What are the southern Africans doing? They are cowards, cowards—" Malinowski was angry and terrified. If he couldn't take Budapest as quickly as possible, he would be further questioned by the bearded man, basically You can book your train tickets to Siberia now.

"The main force of the Southern African Expeditionary Force has not yet arrived at the scheduled location, and they will need at least a week before they can attack Buda." Malinovsky's chief of staff, Ivan Ivanovich, was calm, insulting and does not solve the problem.

"This is a delay to the war opportunity. The southern Africans always do this, as do the British and Americans. Their purpose is to make us and the Germans lose both, and never consider our situation—" Kudria, the commander of the 47th Tank Division Furious, the IS-2 tanks lost in this attack were all from the 47th Tank Division.

IS-2 is a tank named after the bearded man, which is of extraordinary significance. If only a few dozen T34s were lost, Kudrias would not take it to heart.

IS-2 must be used with caution, and it’s fine if it wins. Now that dozens of IS-2s have been lost, but they failed to break into Perth or even break through the German positions, this cannot be explained.

"Now is not the time to worry about this issue. Our goal is to defeat the Germans and regain Budapest. This goal must be accomplished no matter what!" Marshal Malinowski doesn't care about losses, no matter how big the loss is, as long as the strategic goal can be achieved, That's worth it too.

It is hard to say, even now, the Russian army is advancing triumphantly, and the German army is retreating steadily, but on the specific battlefield, the losses of the Russian army are still far greater than that of the German army.

To put it bluntly, the German army was pushed to death by the Russians using their superiority in strength.

Since the beginning of this year, Russia has launched seven large-scale attacks, eliminating nearly 120 million German troops and losing about 240 million of its own.

During Operation Bagration, the Germans lost 27 men and the Russians lost 31.

In the earlier battle of the Dnieper River, the German army lost 120 million people and Russia lost 260 million people.

Even if Russia won the Battle of Kursk, the German army lost 50 people and Russia lost 70 people.

So the Second Army and the Third Army lost 50 million people in Budapest, and Malinovsky didn't care at all, as long as they could win.

"Ivan, go to the other side of the river and urge the southern Africans to attack Buda immediately." Malinovsky hoped that the Southern African Expeditionary Force would play a greater role in diverting.

Of course, it would be great if the Southern African Expeditionary Force attracted the main force of the German army to the other side of the river.

"Okay, I'll go right away—" Ivanovic also knew that this battle was of great significance. If the task could not be completed, both Ivanovic and Malinowski would have to pay a heavy price.

Later, Ivanovic took a ferry to the camp of the 6th Tank Corps in Southern Africa on the west bank of the Danube.

The 6th Tank Army has not yet assembled. Chen Cang and Black are contacting the air force to conduct more investigations on Buda, hoping to get more information about the German army.

"We will not launch an attack on Buda until we have more detailed information about the defenders. You know, it is winter, and the deployment of armored troops is severely restricted. I am responsible for my soldiers." Chen Cang refused decisively, not wanting to Fight the city offensive and defensive war with the German army.

In Russia, the Germans conducted many brutal urban offensive and defensive battles with the Russian army. St. Petersburg, Moscow, Volgograd, etc., each city engaged in brutal and desperate battles, and accumulated rich experience in urban offensive and defensive warfare.

Relatively speaking, the southern African army is extremely inexperienced in this area, and it may suffer heavy losses.

Russia has assembled nearly 160 million troops in Budapest so far.

Southern Africa and the slave army combined are less than 20 people.

"Chen, the Russians are already struggling. They have no reinforcements and no strategic space. The pressure you face is very small. You are all German servants. You can do it all at once!" Ivanovich said earnestly. He and Malinovsky Hoping to take Budapest by Christmas as a holiday gift for Beard.

This cannot be said clearly, but Big Beard likes this kind of thing. He is a person who is extremely ecstatic. To some extent, like Little Beard, he only hopes to hear the news of victory, and absolutely cannot tolerate any setbacks and failures.

"General Ivan, that's not the case. Our troops haven't assembled yet. Even if all of them arrive, we won't be able to attack Buda until at least a week later." There are also secret orders for Chen Cang and Black.

Considering the virtues of his allies, Roque also had to defend himself. Like the last world war, Roque also gave secret orders to the frontline commanders. When necessary, preserving strength was the top priority.

Now the situation is very clear, even if the Allies on the Western Front stand on the sidelines, Russia has the ability to defeat Germany alone.

With both Britain and France deliberately preserving their strength, it is impossible for southern Africa to take on the task of defeating Germany alone. Europeans themselves lack motivation to defeat the Germans, and southern Africa will not take the lead.

Taking a step back, if Russia defeated Germany and controlled Eastern and Northern Europe, then Britain and France, as well as Italy and Greece, must rely more on southern Africa to resist Russia's threat.

In this way, what kind of atomic bomb and what kind of V2 missile have to stand back. Even if they don’t get the relevant technology from Germany, Southern Africa is still far ahead in these fields.

So Chen Cang and Black are really not in a hurry. The situation is obvious now. As long as the Russian army on the other side defeats the German army, the Buda defenders will collapse without a fight.

If Russia cannot take Pest, then even if the 6th Tank Army goes all out, it will have to pay a heavy price to take Buda.

This is also not a multiple choice question.

"Before entering December, we must win Budapest, no matter what the price is!" Ivanovic said fiercely, 12 million beat 100, and there was no reason to fail.

Simply counting paper data, the Russian army does have the upper hand.

But when it comes to fighting, the account is not calculated in this way. Russia has an advantage in military strength, but it cannot be fully reflected on the battlefield. Only about one division can be invested in an attack, and the Germans are fully capable of handling it.

The Bulgarian First Division knew to set up a circular position on the west bank of the Danube, and the Germans were not stupid.

Relying on the terrain, the German army set up an arc-shaped position with a depth of ten kilometers in front of Pace. Even if Malinowski broke through the first position, Frissner did not panic at all and could calmly organize the defense.

In July of this year, Russia organized Operation Emerald Spring Dawn in Moscow.

Cuidi Chunxiao is actually a parade of prisoners of war. About 19 German prisoners of war marched in Moscow, including [-] German generals.

After these German prisoners of war marched, they were sent to a prisoner of war camp, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

The German side made a big fuss, claiming that all the German prisoners of war who participated in the Cuidi Spring Dawn Operation were executed after the parade.

This greatly deepened the German army, as well as the Axis servants' fear of Russia.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe the defenders of Budapest as united as one, because they know very well that as long as they fall into the hands of the Russians, there is only one dead end.

In this case, the Russian army's offensive can really be described as "tragic".

On November 11th, 19st, and 21th, the Russian army organized three consecutive large-scale attacks on Pest. A total of 24 Russian soldiers participated in the attack. The battle lasted for a whole week without any progress. Russia lost nearly 60 people .

The "Overlord" operation of the Allied forces on the Western Front lasted for nearly 4 months, and the loss of manpower was almost 20.

Russia lost 20 people in just one week, and Malinovsky didn't care at all. If he could, he was willing to take Pace at the cost of half the casualties of the 2nd and 3rd armies.

On November 11th, the Southern African Expeditionary Force, which had been assembled and fully rested, finally launched an attack on Buda.

At this time, it has been more than a month since the Bulgarian First Division camped on the bank of the Danube.

In the past month, the Southern African Air Force has carried out multiple reconnaissance and bombing of Buda. Frisner has deployed four divisions on the west bank, and has set up positions up to 6 kilometers deep like the east bank.

However, the deep position did not play a big role in the Southern African Expeditionary Force. On the first day of the offensive, the Bulgarian First Division broke through the defensive position of the Hungarian First Division.

The Hungarian First Division is a light infantry division. Although it is a division in name, it actually has only about 8000 people. After the "Leopard" tanks of the first division rushed into the position, the officers and soldiers of the Hungarian First Division raised their hands and surrendered.

Axis forces almost never surrendered when faced with Russian forces.

But when facing the Southern African Expeditionary Force, they only made symbolic resistance and then quickly surrendered without any psychological barriers.

Including the German army, as long as they surrender to the Southern African Expeditionary Force, although hard labor is inevitable, at least they will not be tortured and killed for no reason.

The Hungarian army was indeed hopeless. Second Lieutenant Yankov of the Second Regiment of the Bulgarian First Division took four soldiers and captured about 120 people.

Five people captured 120 people, no matter how to take care of them, it would be a big problem. If the prisoners escaped, it would be impossible to stop them.

"The dead Hungarians are the best Hungarians. If you kill them all, you don't have to worry about them escaping—" Private First Class Malenov was cruel, and killing prisoners of war was not uncommon on the battlefield.

It can't be called a massacre, it's an execution at most, anyway, there are plenty of reasons.

"First remove all their weapons, including belts—" Yankov was also worried. He was an officer and was equipped with automatic rifles, while the other four soldiers were equipped with semi-automatic rifles.

With five guns guarding 120 people, the task is arduous.

The captives didn't know what fate they were about to face. They were terrified. Although they had an absolute advantage in numbers, they didn't have any other ideas, and discarded their equipment one after another according to the requirements of the Bulgarian soldiers.

It is a good way to take off the belt. The weather is too cold in winter, and you can only hold your pants with your hands, so you can't run fast, not to mention that you can't run as fast as a bullet.

"Take off your shoelaces too, and everything on your body, rings, necklaces, watches, etc.—" The Bulgarian soldier held his helmet in his hand and searched one by one.

"Sir, this is my wedding ring, please, don't take it away—" a Hungarian soldier begged.

The Bulgarian soldier slammed the butt of his gun on the prisoner's head, knocking the prisoner to the ground, and then stepped on the prisoner's hand with his foot, and pulled off his ring.

"Please don't take my ring, I'm willing to exchange everything I have—" The captive resisted desperately, but still failed to keep his ring.

At this time, Mark passed by in an off-road vehicle. After seeing this scene, Mark jumped off the off-road vehicle.

"Give him back the ring, don't deprive him of his last hope." Mark stepped forward in time, and the Bulgarian soldiers were too much, not paying attention to the expressions of the Hungarian prisoners around them.

Hungary, like Bulgaria, was once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Hungarians may be afraid of southern Africans, but they are not afraid of Bulgarians.

When the Bulgarian soldiers snatched the wedding rings from the Hungarian prisoners, the surrounding Hungarian prisoners blushed and subconsciously approached the Bulgarian soldiers. If someone did something at this time, the situation would get out of hand.

The stupid Bulgarian soldiers didn't notice this scene at all, and neither did Yankov. He had just found a diamond watch from a Hungarian officer and was cleaning it carefully.

This is understandable, the privilege of the victor, when the Hungarian soldiers followed the German army to conquer Europe, they treated the captives in the same way.

"Yes, sir—" the Bulgarian soldier reluctantly threw the ring to the ground.

"Thank you, thank you sir—" The prisoner rushed over, clutching the ring tightly and weeping bitterly. This may be his only spiritual sustenance.

"It's almost enough, don't go too far." Mark reminded Yankov.

In the past few years when the Germans conquered Europe, the Hungarians followed the Germans and gained a lot. Several Bulgarian soldiers had full helmets, rings, watches, necklaces, and even earrings, as well as various cash, gold coins, and so on.

Rings and watches are understandable. Many necklaces and earrings are obviously women's accessories, and the origins are self-knowledge.

Therefore, the way of heaven favors reincarnation, and there is nothing worthy of pity.

"Please send someone to deal with these prisoners, we are going to continue to attack—" Yankov made a windfall, satisfied.

At this time, the battle was not over yet. The Bulgarian First Division had broken through two positions in a row and was attacking the city of Buda.

Of course, the difficulty is also increasing.
