Steel Soviet Union

At first, during the discussion about the special turret call sign "101", Malashenko had some arguments with Lavrinenko.

Lavrinenko felt that Malashenko was more suitable for this special turret call sign than he was, while Malashenko insisted on retaining his original 177 turret call sign to show his memory of his fallen comrades and the countless brutal battles they had experienced together. of commemoration.

The two argued for a long time, but in the end it was Lavrinenko, the deputy division commander, who finally compromised under the "pressure" of Malashenko, the full division commander, and obediently followed the orders of the comrade, the division commander, and accepted the position of the comrade who was supposed to be the division commander in the plan. The "101" turret call sign used by the vehicle.

"Now I'm your scapegoat. If the Germans knew the naming rules of our division's turret call signs, they would definitely try their best to focus fire on me on the battlefield, but you can run around with a turret call sign that won't be noticed. That’s right?”

Although he admitted defeat to Malashenko in actual actions, Lavrinenko still refused to give up on his words.

Malashenko, who had his own way, could not "blow" Lavrinenko too much, so he simply smiled and continued to speak.

"As long as you are happy, you can think whatever you want. Anyway, we are brothers on and off the battlefield. We have made an appointment to meet under the red flag on Victory Day. No one can break the contract. Do you understand me clearly?"

I was thinking about my argument with Lavrinenko about the turret call sign not too long ago, and then I looked at an IS7 heavy tank with smoke coming from the muzzle parked not too far away. The call sign 101 on the turret. , just like the old man’s voice that came from the radio just now, is as familiar and clear as day.

"Where did you hit? Did you hit the launch pad?"

The "headless tiger" with a weird shape and a missile carrying a huge telephone pole on its shoulders has now been blown to pieces and completely restored to its pre-factory state.

The armor fragments started from the explosion center point and were splashed everywhere under the powerful blast impact, leaving a mess on the ground. The broken road wheels also scattered like pebbles that were thrown away. The farthest straight line distance from the center of the explosion was even more than fifty meters, which shows how powerful the explosion was at the moment.

Not only was it the ready-to-fire anti-tank missile mounted on the car body, but looking at the ruins after the explosion, Malashenko estimated that the two rounds had been interrupted by Iushkin before and fell next to the headless tiger. The anti-tank missiles should have also exploded in a huge explosion, once again enhancing the already terrifying power.

The evidence is that at present, any evidence about the existence of those two missiles has completely disappeared without a trace. Apart from being exploded at the same time at an extremely close range, there is nothing more reasonable and better. explain.

Looking at the scene in front of him of the "headless tiger disappearing" and leaving a huge crater in its place, Malashenko couldn't help but marveled and sighed when he asked Iushkin on the other end of the radio. The German thing really does more damage to yourself than to the enemy.

"I didn't see it clearly. It probably hit the upper part of the car body. I could just see so many parts. I decided to give it a try when I was sure. I can't let you really hit it. You are too reckless."

""

Facing Lavrinenko's slight complaint, Malashenko didn't want to explain too much, let alone say more words that he thought were meaningless.

In fact, deep down in Malashenko's heart, he had strong and complicated emotions about the "car crash".

As for why?

Probably Malashenko will never forget the crash that occurred at the Stalingrad train station. That accident not only saved his life, but also took away their first brother in the original five-man crew. Malashenko doesn’t even know where he is now. He doesn’t know how the Germans disposed of his remains after taking control of the battlefield, or where they are buried.

If we talk about commemoration, Malashenko can probably only take the great city of Stalingrad to commemorate the good brothers he lost in this hellish bloody battle. There is no other way.

"I couldn't hold it back for a while, I will pay attention next time, don't worry."

""

Since Malashenko took the initiative to speak and talked about this, it is naturally difficult for Lavrinenko to say anything more about this "attempted active collision", not to mention the current battlefield where every second counts. There are still many things waiting for the two teachers and comrades to do, such as having a tea party with the radio as a telephone porridge.

"Say hello anytime if you need help. I will continue to take charge of my side. See you at the finish line!"

Lavrinenko was the first to say goodbye and wanted to rejoin the battle. Malashenko also smiled casually, holding the periscope in one hand and the microphone in the other.

"Try to get there before me, you haven't beaten me yet."

"Stop talking nonsense! I will definitely win you this time. Watch me crush these naughties and send them to heaven!"

"The call is over."

"complete!"

Snapped--

No longer caring about the headless Tiger that had been smashed to pieces, Malashenko, who saw that the infantrymen after getting off the car had begun to infiltrate into the assault line of defense, had already re-entered a state of concentration, and then briefly debugged the radio station again Pressed the microphone button.

"Put in the second wave of commandos, immediately! The breach has been opened, increase the intensity of the attack and charge forward!"

It is naturally impossible for such a huge combat organization as the Leader's Division to deploy and invest it all at once in a decisive battle area like Zero Highlands where the width of the frontal battlefield is limited.

Malashenko's specific approach was to slightly modify Zhukov's deep frontal assault tactics, focusing on combining the advantages of arms and artillery fire powerful enough to crush the enemy's defense forces, in a selected "decisive battle zone" Tear open a breach on the front, and then pour in a steady stream of assault troops along this breach.

While assaulting in depth, the breach was torn open and expanded to the two wings, causing the position to be divided into two, wedges inserted, and the attack deeper and deeper. The defense area was squeezed smaller and smaller, and the German garrison troops could not look at each other from head to tail, making it difficult to support each other. After breaking through the limit of its endurance, it produced a collapse effect, and then won this frontal attack victory without any back-up.

Now that Malashenko has completed the first step in his plan: tearing apart the frontal defense of the German army and opening a breakthrough, the next step is to immediately invest more troops to expand the results of the battle and open up the open line drawn on the Germans. The wounds are dug deeper and deeper, and the wounds are torn larger and larger. The simultaneous breakthroughs horizontally and vertically give the enemy the maximum blow, allowing the Germans to accelerate toward the indicator line of collapse.

But at the same time, even if the first step seems to be going smoothly and without much resistance, Malashenko, who keeps a calm head and is at the forefront of the war to understand the overall situation, still knows one thing clearly: Germany It will really make people feel headaches, troubles and even difficult and stubborn resistance, and this is just the beginning.
