Steel Soviet Union

"Shocked" is "shocked". This is completely different from Kulbalov's timely reply to Malashenko. Kulbalov, who did not dare to delay the division commander, quickly put the microphone back After taking it off, he pressed the communication button and spoke repeatedly.

"I can hear it, comrade division commander. The battle is still going on, and the Germans can't come in yet. We are sure to push them down, but we just don't have enough troops to organize a counterattack to surround them in front of the position. The forces of both the enemy and ours should be It’s evenly matched.”

Malashenko, who held a microphone in his hand and listened to Kulbalov's report while advancing at full speed, saw the general firefight on the position. It was dark on our side and we couldn't see anything. We could only hear the rumble of cannons and see the muzzle lights that were constantly lighting up.

In the blink of an eye, the situation on the German side was embarrassing and miserable. The flares that continued to shoot high into the sky not only illuminated the living German troops and equipment, but also the hanging corpses and wreckage. As clear as day.

The leopard's head fell to the ground, the black car body was swallowed up by the flames in the raging fire, and the No. 3 assault gun was twisted and deformed, and the barrel had turned into a twist.

Not to mention the corpses of German soldiers lying all over the ground. There were all kinds of miserable deaths, broken arms and bloody things scattered all over the ground. It was enough to leave a whole body after being shot to death. Okay.

What surprised Malashenko the most, that he could even stuff a big apple into his mouth, was of course the belly-up, blown-up No. 4 tank. The explosion of ammunition could not cause this battle. Malashenko even doubted for a moment whether it was the German guy who overturned the car.

If Malashenko really knew that the scene in front of him was a masterpiece created by the ingenious Varosha using the "homemade IED of the Second World War", then Comrade Ma Laosha would probably have to pat Varosha on the shoulder and say a heartfelt compliment. : "Hey! You are really a fucking genius!"

Marching side by side with Malashenko is the 20th Guards Tank Brigade. This force is slightly weaker than Malashenko's own troops. It was brought by Malashenko to defeat the German sticks. Dumpling's counter-assault force.

Although less than a hundred tanks are less than half of the strength of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, as long as they are combined with half of the strength of the 1st Kurbalov Regiment and the Varosha Infantry Regiment, which are already stationed here, the strength will be achieved. There is a qualitative change. It is basically not a problem to eat the German guys in front of the position in one go.

"Expand the range of flares, and don't be stingy with firing more rounds! Follow the planned plan! Bring your troops to press forward, Kulbalov, I command the 20th Tank Brigade to outflank from both sides, and we cannot let these Germans Keep feeling so comfortable!"

The goal is to eat all the German troops in front of him in one go and eliminate them all in front of the position, but Malashenko is also prepared not to kill all the German troops.

The reason for doing this now is just that Malashenko doesn't want the Germans to fight so comfortably and focuses all his energy on the breakout attack. Even if he can't kill the Germans, he will at least disrupt his tactical deployment and delay the Germans' attack. Time, as long as you drag the battle until dawn, you will win! No Germans who can no longer hide themselves under the cover of night can escape!

The attack operation carried out in accordance with Malashenko's order quickly started. The first one at the front was the Kulbalov regiment, which was the first to switch from defense to offensive state.

As the saying goes, "When a soldier is raging, a general is raging in a nest." Any kind of general can bring out the kind of soldiers.

With Malashenko as a "militant" and a division commander who is good at physically conquering Germans, many other commanders and fighters at all levels of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division followed the same example, and their blood boiled when they met Germans on the battlefield. The ground howls, Kulbalov, who has been following Malashenko for some time, is such a famous person.

"Charge! Keep the distance between the vehicles and don't pull too far apart. Form a tight formation! The Germans don't have anti-tank positions and there aren't many tanks left. Don't worry about anti-tank firepower. Just rush up and crush them!"

The biggest problem faced by the German army in an offensive state is that there is no defensive position to rely on. Once it encounters a powerful Soviet counterattack and an encounter breaks out in front of the position.

Unless the Germans have enough troops to attack and fight to the death, any slight retreat in this kind of combat situation will be equivalent to failure. The German army, which does not even have a position, will not have the opportunity or time to fight. Build a second line of defense.

Under the fierce pursuit of a highly mechanized and rapidly heavy-armed force such as Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, there would be absolutely no chance of escape, even if it was the middle of the night.

Aware of this weakness, Kulbalov, who specialized in bullying the Germans and had no position to rely on, directly adopted a dense assault formation that was rarely seen in the past.

The distance between each vehicle crew was reduced to the minimum, like a slender and sharp knife. The Germans' current anti-tank firepower was no longer enough to pose a big threat. Using this tactic should have a huge risk of casualties. It's perfect for operating on a German.

"Comrades! Destroy the German fascists, for the motherland! Hurrah!!!"

U-la——

Da da da da——

Boom boom boom——

The roar of the charge and the dense explosions of guns and artillery resounded directly in the night sky. The Red Army soldiers, who were only three or four hundred meters away from the enemy, simply ignored the tank cavalry and picked up their weapons. He followed the tank and rushed out under cover.

The incoming lineup that was finally revealed under the light of the flares like a vast ocean could be said to scare the Germans who were at a disadvantage instantly.

"Russians, Russians are coming! There are so many of them!"

"There's Ivan on the left! Damn it, why is there on the right too!?"

"This is a trap, the Russians are waiting for us to take the bait! We are surrounded!!!"

Malashenko, who had prepared all the flares in advance, ordered almost all the backup ammunition to be fired. On the night of the decisive battle, he must not be stingy with the consumption of ammunition larger than sesame seeds and mung beans. The battlefield, which was originally blocked by dark clouds and blocked the moonlight, became even brighter than when it rained during the day after hundreds of rounds of artillery flares were fired.

The flares hanging in mid-air not only illuminated the battlefield, but also illuminated the entire process of the German army's demise.

The surrounding troops commanded by Malashenko charged forward almost exactly against the edge of the flare's light. He could not only see the enemy's situation clearly, but also use darkness to hide his whereabouts. He had been unnoticed by the Germans since joining the battlefield. The most important thing was that he had cut the smallest arc attack line possible and shortened the siege. required time.

The frontal pressure of Kulbalov's troops made the German army, which was exhausted, have no time to think about anything else and attracted almost all the attention. Completely unaware of the position of his two wings, he was surrounded by enemies that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The German army, which had no defensive position to rely on, was surrounded by the Red Army from the north, south, and west in less than five minutes.

At this point, the German army was no longer able to even retreat to the east from the direction in which they came.

The only result of a face-to-face fight with extreme jealousy is that one side falls first, but no matter how you look at it, this side cannot be the Red Army that has taken advantage of it and is waiting for work.
