Steel Soviet Union

While Chuikov was talking about Malashenko's deeds, far away in the Southwest Front headquarters on the other side, Vatutin, who had just received the news of the victory, was equally beaming.

"For victory, comrades! Let us raise a toast together!"

It was different from Chuikov’s headquarters where they sang, danced and played the accordion.

He has been in close contact with the headquarters of the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Brigade, which has the fastest siege progress. As the commander of the front army, Vatutin has long known that Malashenko has personally led the siege commando to the front line. , intending to complete the glorious task of capturing the headquarters of the Sixth Army and capturing Paulus alive before all friendly forces.

Of course, Vatutin would not object to Malashenko's move, and also expressed support and high praise for Malashenko's move to personally lead the commando team to the front line. At one point, the Political Department of the Front Army was even asked to produce propaganda materials and distribute them to all front-line troops under the Front Army to learn from Comrade Malashenko's ability to fight and his bravery and fearlessness.

Malashenko's original evaluation of Vatutin was not wrong. Comrade Commander of the Front Army who died for "recklessness" in the end, when it comes to the spirit of not being afraid of death in a war and going to the front line whenever he wants, is better than usual. The rampaging Malashenko is even more fierce than the No. 1 hunk.

So when the news of the victory reached the front army headquarters as soon as possible, the excitement and cheers that could be expected followed immediately.

Vatutin, who personally gave the order, even specially approved a box of vodka, allowing the personnel of the front army headquarters to celebrate this extremely exciting moment with spirits, as long as they were not drunk.

After a glass of vodka, Vatutin held the wine glass in his hand and felt that his whole body was warmed up. Only Malashenko, who should be enjoying the wine and cheers at this moment, was not here. This is what Vatutin felt at this moment. The only thing I regret.

"The 1st Guards Heavy Tank Brigade has made great contributions to our front army! Comrade Commander!"

"Soon the entire motherland will know the heroic story of our front troops, and people will celebrate this great victory with singing and dancing! Comrade Malashenko not only captured the German super weapon for the motherland, but now he has lived up to his trust and won the victory for the motherland. With such a huge victory, we should really consider how to apply for awards for Malashenko and his 1st Guards Heavy Tank Brigade.”

The words spoken by the chief of staff, who was also holding a wine glass in his hand, were what Vatutin was thinking about at this moment.

Malashenko has made such a great first-class contribution, and he must be given the reciprocal honor he deserves.

It's just that this little guy had just led a charge and captured the German super cannon that was bigger than a building. Not long after, he personally led the siege commando to capture Paulus, the bandit leader of the enemy's Sixth Army. If this guy had just been promoted to marshal by that madman Hitler, then his credit would be completely outweighed.

Since the beginning of the war, the Red Army has not captured even a German lieutenant general, let alone a German general!

It's good now, this little guy Malashenko went all out to grab a real and fresh field marshal who was just hot out of the oven!

How much credit should these two items put together? To be honest, even Vatutin himself is not sure. You must know that Malashenko is already a new hero of the Soviet Union who has been personally issued a commendation order by the Supreme Leader Comrade Stalin. In other words, there is no greater honor for Malashenko. Rashenko thrusts upward.

This matter really needs to be reported to Moscow to discuss special approval. It is no longer something that the military headquarters on this side can solve.

To take a step back, even if Paulus is not captured alive by Malashenko, he will be captured alive by others. But you must know that Malashenko is very close to General Zhukov, and he can still win the fiery eyes of Comrade Stalin. Hero of the Soviet Union.

During the Battle of Stalingrad, various political and propaganda departments of the Red Army worked at full capacity to publish special editions of Malashenko's propaganda materials on Heroes of the Soviet Union for new soldiers on the front and rear to learn from and boost their morale.

The same Paulus was caught by different people, and the resulting effects were completely different and incomparable. Malashenko is precisely such a special factor that cannot be compared. Vatutin, who is as clear as a mirror in his heart, understands this very clearly at this moment.

"Hey, forget it"

After much deliberation, Vatutin chose to give up because there was no perfect solution. The question of how to reward Malashenko should be left to the big bosses in Moscow to hold meetings and discuss it themselves and have a headache.

As for yourself, just list all the details about Malashenko and submit them in writing. Leave the column of commendations blank. Someone will fill it in with a lot of color. .

"Go and sort it out, Comrade Chief of Staff. Carefully sort out all the details related to our little hero. If one person is not enough, ask a few more staff officers to help you, and then submit it to Moscow. The rest will be done. It won’t be a headache for us.”

The chief of staff, who was also thinking about how to reward Malashenko, nodded cautiously, and then blurted out words of approval but a little helpless.

"Okay, that's all it can do now, I'll go get ready."

Stalingrad, where the war had just subsided, was still filled with sporadic gunshots. Malashenko knew that these were the sounds of various Red Army assault units in the city, those die-hard Nazis who were still unwilling to put down their guns at the end of the clearing. .

Strictly speaking, there is nothing surprising about this matter. Malashenko, who has fought against both the Wehrmacht and the SS, clearly knows that "madmen" are not a specialty of the SS.

In the Wehrmacht, which had been severely infiltrated by the Nazis, there were a lot of die-hard "lunatics" who were just as hard-core as the SS, or even worse.

The evil deeds of these idiots who gave birth to sons without buttocks are no worse than those of the SS. The conscientious officers and soldiers in the Wehrmacht cannot cover up the disgusting evil of these fanatical lackeys. The stench can be smelled from a long distance away.

Malashenko, who received the order to report to the front army headquarters, did not choose a tank as a means of transportation. After all, the motorized hours of his command vehicle were almost worn out. It was time to let Karamov, who had "dedicated his crime and made meritorious service", to him. My car has been well maintained.

Now, Malashenko is sitting in a Willys jeep that was supported by the Yankees. This fancy new gadget has been famous for a long time. Malashenko is sitting in the passenger seat of the car. , like a 6-year-old kid who just got an ideal birthday gift, looking around and touching it, it was so novel to the extreme.

"This thing is quite easy to drive, Comrade Commander. I wonder if Seryosha would have the same feeling as me when driving this thing. It is as easy to control her as a pony."
