Steel Soviet Union

Malashenko's idea is actually very simple: It is impossible for such a large position to be commanded by a small German colonel. From the perspective of troop allocation, this is at least a division-level establishment, and the number is still high. More German troops than this were guarding the area. In addition, there were even reinforcements from assault guns and anti-tank destroyers that rushed in to support.

How can you tell Malashenko that a colonel will be in charge of such a large coordinated and mixed German combat group? Malashenko felt that as long as his brain was not wet, he would not believe this evil.

The guy in front of him who was beaten half to death by Alsim's fist was just a scapegoat at best. The person who was really in charge of the command had long since disappeared.

No matter how fast the leader's attack speed is, no matter how fierce and fierce the offensive is, there will be a lot of cannon fodder in front of him to block him to death, and there will be a tighter defense line in the rear to retreat.

No matter how you look at this formation, no matter how you talk about it, the German official who is actually in charge of the command has a lot of room for maneuver. He even said that if he stayed in this damn place and died, it would make Malashenko even more surprised. I'm surprised that the Germans still have the courage to "break" before the last moment. This smells too peaceful and not German.

So now it is said that the German who was really in charge of the command has disappeared and has not been caught. Malashenko feels that this is a normal result.

"I will talk to you when I get the chance. Let's take the people down first and prepare the troops later. Your combat engineers have also made great efforts in this battle. Take the time to have a good rest. There will be a tougher battle to fight tomorrow. , I look forward to your performance.”

Of course, Malashenko had already noticed that Alsim, a stubborn and illiterate man who accepted death, had a special feeling for him. This is a specific emotion that is deeply rooted in this specific era, and it is called "cult of personality."

Of course, this was not something Malashenko intentionally shaped, but was formed invisibly due to his own objective actions.

In a situation similar to Alsim's, the entire leader division is by no means just him, but many people have this special feeling for the comrade, the division commander.

Although Malashenko clearly knew that such objective facts were happening, he neither promoted nor stopped it. To what extent it can develop, Malashenko himself can't say. It's just that there is no need to stop such a situation that is indeed beneficial to him in objective reality. Malashenko has never wanted to do it from the beginning to the end. Self-destruction of the Great Wall.

As the saying goes, "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others." As a time traveler, Malashenko clearly knows how terrifying the undercurrents hidden under the calm appearance are, and this This undercurrent will soon set off an unimaginable wave in the next few years, sweeping countless people into it.

He did plan to retire after the war, but on the other hand, Malashenko could also expect that he would not only make friends and brothers along the way, but also who knows when and under what circumstances. The offended villain secretly holds a grudge and is thinking about himself.

You are not afraid that the villain will miss you, but you are afraid that the villain will miss you after he succeeds and becomes more awesome than you. Then the fun will be great.

Malashenko hopes that the relationships and networks he is currently operating can one day serve as his own talisman. Not to mention causing any big waves, at least there is something on the surface, which can make most "smart people" with enough brains retreat.

Someone who really couldn't get along with him in every sense came out halfway. Malashenko thought that he would not be completely helpless when he had already removed his armor and returned home. After all, there would still be someone who could help him. When the time came, It would be even better if we could have such a legendary group as our leader as our foundation.

There is a foundation below and a backer above.

The line of defense to prevent villains from causing trouble can be made impregnable. On the other hand, if this does not work and cannot protect himself, then Malashenko will simply admit it. In that case, it may be that he just deserved the hit, and there is nothing to worry about. and unwillingly.

After all, I am not a person of this era.

Life does not bring it, death does not take it away.

What is there to be unwilling and resentful about?

Malashenko, who has already "died", has long looked past all this. Who will remember these nonsense a hundred years from now? Whatever, just try to live in the moment and do your best.

After seeing off Alsim who had taken the order, Malashenko, who holds the important position of division commander, still has many things to do. The first one is to understand the battlefield situation that has been suspended at this stage.

Soon after, on the newly occupied scorched earth position below.

The forward division headquarters led by Political Commissar Petrov has arrived. After discussing and communicating with Malashenko, it was determined that the field division headquarters would be located farther back than the ground below.

This seemingly risky deployment was possible because Malashenko had accurately captured the remaining Germans on the highlands and had lost the large-scale counterattack capability that was a threat to the leader's division.

In Malashenko's words, "Thank God if I don't mess with them. How dare you come here to mess with me? I'll show you how to tear up German sticks with your hands immediately in front of the position. You can tear them apart as much as you come. This is far away from the defensive position." It’s not like helping a bastard or a dog G8.”

Conceit and self-confidence are two completely different things. The former is a fool's errand that does not look at objective reality, while the latter is a calm analysis and judgment based on objective reality.

Malashenko now belongs to the latter, and he has reached a consensus with Comrade Political Commissar on this point, which makes Comrade Ma even more convinced that his judgment is accurate.

"The current overall situation is favorable to our army. At this stage, our division's assault progress is the fastest and most advanced on the front. It has advanced the furthest mileage on the entire highland front. As the main assault force in the central part, it has reached the group army headquarters. With the expected attack speed, it can be said that the first day’s combat mission was completed.”

"The progress of friendly forces on the left and right wings is slightly slower than ours. Their technical equipment and fire support are not at the same level as ours. It is understandable that they are slower. In addition, Commander Chuikov said on the phone that he has stepped up efforts to urge the troops on both wings to move forward. We are moving forward, and we must ensure that we cooperate in a timely and effective manner so that we will not be held back. For our visiting army, I think he should be under a lot of pressure now.”

Hearing the political commissar's analysis, Malashenko and Lavrinenko, who were watching the map on the table in front of them, both laughed.
