Steel Soviet Union

The unwillingness to give up the desire to win makes a counterattack imperative. Even now, the Germans, who still have hope for victory, have really shown that they are different from the band-legged and brain-dead allies in Asia. the most essential difference between them.

The Japs may know that they will lose but still want to kill the enemy as much as possible and fight to the end. If the Japs are allowed to defend such high ground, they may really stay in the hole until the end, waiting for the Red Army to attack and then use their defensive advantages to pull back. Carrying out the crazy concept of "Winning or losing doesn't matter, killing the enemy counts as a win", the most frightening thing on the battlefield is often this kind of life-threatening lunatic.

But the Germans are more willing to put their efforts into the hope of victory. Even if that hope is so trivial and extremely slim, it is still worth trying.

Malashenko knew his opponent well and knew the most essential difference between the Germans and the desperate Japanese.

The pursuit of hope is also the weakness of the Krauts. The concept of hope is only relative.

As long as conditions permit, it only takes a moment for hope to turn into despair. For example, what Malashenko has to do now is such a simple thing.

"Hopefully our counterattack will go smoothly. If we cannot drive away these Russians, the situation will only get worse. We have no choice."

Just as Malashenko expected.

The landing field position captured by the leading division was like a bait exuding strong temptation. The German army knew how critical the situation was, but they did not know that it was Malashenko who took the initiative to order to stop the attack and misjudged it. The Russians were short of troops at the front and wanted to wait for follow-up support. They gathered enough troops and then waited for an opportunity to launch a decisive attack.

The Germans did guess part of it right, but only that part.

The most critical point: it is not "powerless" but "pretending to be a trap", but it was not thought at all that the German army, whose thinking was not able to keep up with the opponent's unconventional routines, would eventually pay the price for it.

"Let's get started, order the troops to set off and act as planned!"

"yes!"

Toot—toot—

The German company commander who was responsible for leading the battle took out the whistle in his pocket and blew it hard. The German soldiers who knew what to do now jumped out of the trench one by one, following closely the assault guns and assault guns that rumbled past. The tanks, holding their weapons tightly, were ready to regain the position they had just lost and create a miracle that the commanders asked them to do.

"Follow everyone, move forward! Move forward!"

The formation that the Germans took out was quite large and very large. It was so big that Malashenko, who had just half got into his car and had not had time to close the turret roof, picked up the telescope and took a look. , we clearly saw a large number of German tanks and assault guns pushing towards us, with a huge amount of infantry surrounding them.

Such a scene made Malashenko put down the telescope on the spot, and he grinned instantly while holding on to the turret hatch.

"It seems that the German guy has a lot of chips. If he loses this much and can still afford such a big show, then it wouldn't be a bad idea to lose a little more, right?"

Malashenko, who had already commanded the troops to make final preparations, fully entered the vehicle, closed the turret hatch, and was already in combat mode. He was ready at the command position, and then picked up the FM radio transmitter on the shelf at hand. He picked up the phone and spoke.

"Act according to the original plan. Don't scare these Nazis away. Get closer and then fight! Our goal is to maximize the damage to the enemy's effective forces. Everyone is in position and ready to fight."

"yes!"

"Everyone is in position and ready to fight!"

The sounds on the radio channel cannot be heard by the infantrymen who are not in the infantry fighting vehicle.

Alsim, who was leaning against the trench wall with his arms around AK and holding half a half-smoked cigarette in his mouth, was puffing smoke and worshiping the gods. He didn't seem to take the upcoming battle seriously. One thing. He was even able to leisurely press bullets into the empty magazine in his hand at the last moment of the impending war, one by one being pressed into the bullet by his thumb that was already covered with gun calluses.

"I said, we haven't fought a defensive battle for a while, right? Who still remembers the last time we fought?"

I don't know which comrade of the combat engineers suddenly came up with such a leisurely question, which immediately aroused the interest of the surrounding companions who also did not take the Germans who were approaching to kill them seriously.

"I forgot, I can't remember clearly. It seemed like half a year ago, nine months? Maybe more."

"If you stay here, you can kill a lot of fascists who come to die. I tell Alyosha, this opportunity is hard to find even if you travel all over the battlefield."

Listening to the pre-battle discussions of the soldiers around him, Alsim still sat on the ground with his back leaning against the trench, and continued to press the few medium-power rifle bullets left in his hand until he heard a sound. After the roar, the loud explosion sound suddenly came and hit us.

boom--

"Bah! Damn, these bastards are bombarding us with assault artillery! We're too far away to hit us, so be careful and take cover!"

The recklessness will return to the recklessness, the waves will return to the waves, and what seems like a fool will turn out to be a fool.

However, once this group of veteran combat engineers enters a combat state, they still have all the reactions, consciousness, and actions that they should have, and not a few are missing.

After a shell hit the ground and exploded far away from the edge of the trench, he immediately lowered his body to ensure that he was not exposed to the killing range of the next shell that might be fired more accurately. Alsim, who was pressing the bullet slowly, also made some moves.

"We have heard the order. Let the Nazi dog get closer before hitting it. Be patient for a while. Let the broken car on the opposite side be arrogant for a while. When our cannon fires as the command, we are all ready!"

He greeted the armored men under his command to hold their breath, sit in the trenches, and wait until the Germans got close enough. Then they heard a sound of artillery fire from their own side, and then the battle began. That was the agreement. sent the final signal of destruction to the Germans.

"What to fight first? The German tanks?"

Looking at the "uniquely styled" Panzer IV tank clearly visible in the gun scope, Iushkin really didn't want to waste the first shot on such a broken body.

Use IS7 to call number 4? What are you doing? Iushkin felt that this was a serious waste of firepower. As long as the gun was fired, it was a waste of the motherland's 130mm high-explosive grenade.

But there really is no better car than this in the first wave of Germans rushing up from the opposite side. Hell, you know how much the Germans are short of cars now. Even the No. 4 is an outdated and inferior car. They are all taking the lead.

Malashenko, who had just taken care of those bastards from the 502nd Battalion, could guess the reason for the scene in front of him. It would be weird if you German guy didn't lack for a car.

But even if the first target is poor No. 4, it still cannot change Malashenko's decision.

"Target, the German Panzer IV! Directly ahead at 11 o'clock, 800 meters away, prepare!"
