Chapter 1251 His name is Artyom

"Say goodbye to your general uniform, Malashenko.

I don’t know how much time passed. Malashenko, who was mumbling to himself, only had the concept of “it’s been a long time” in his heart.

He took off his entire set of general uniforms step by step, and the equally brand-new tank soldier combat uniform was placed on the table at hand.

To be honest, Malashenko actually misses the original tank uniform that accompanied him on the battlefield for a long time.

However, after the last time I was discharged from the hospital in Moscow and took my luggage back home, the bloody and filthy tattered tank uniform was caught by Natalia who was packing her lover's luggage.

Of course, under Natalya's "pressure", Malashenko couldn't help but tell the fact that he was injured. Then he emphasized that the injury was completely healed, and took the initiative to lift up his clothes to expose the wound on his abdomen for Natalia to see. This was considered as the beautiful daughter-in-law managed to get through it while the beautiful daughter-in-law was so distressed that she shed tears.

Although he passed the test, this set of clothes with special commemorative significance was withheld by Natalia.

Malashenko tried to ask the reason, but Natalya rarely said a word and chose to avoid answering. For the first time, Malashenko could not understand what this little girl was thinking. I can only give up.

The old friend who had been with him for so long was "forced to retire [Literature Hall]". Malashenko, who was wearing a white shirt and weighing the brand new combat uniform in his hand, couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Damn, I always feel that those shabby clothes have some life-saving effect. Don't change your clothes and start to have bad luck."

As he spoke, he put on the entire combat uniform one by one and put it on his upper body. Malashenko, who was not used to wearing big leather boots in the tank, also specially got himself a pair of cold-proof low boots for winter. Wear cotton shoes.

Anyway, I don't have to throw my legs away in the deep snow. After I go to the battlefield, I just stay in the tank, and the snow can't get into my shoes. There's nothing wrong with wearing a pair of more flexible shoes. The big leather bucket boots felt awkward and unable to stretch in the tank, which always made Malashenko feel extremely uncomfortable.

After looking at the mirror in front of him and pressing his frizzy hair with his hand, Malashenko took out the last thing he needed to wear: the one on the table. The tank hat is officially changed after holding it up on the head with both hands.

"Oh, it's okay, it looks a bit like the past."

Whenever Malashenko puts on this outfit, it heralds the winner of two Hero of the Soviet Union awards, the number one tank hero of the Soviet Union, the master of German physical conquest, and the nightmare of the SS: Malashenko, He is about to drive his own steel monster to the battlefield with a large group of heavy tanks. Of course, among those who are familiar with this situation is our political commissar Petrov.

"When was the last time I saw you wearing this outfit? I can't even remember.

Malashenko smiled and shook his head helplessly.

"Don't say it's you, it's the same for me."

Malashenko rolled up his sleeves and glanced at his German watch to confirm the time. The last moment before the attack was approaching.

"Are the troops ready? How is the deployment of the other three regiments?"

The current organization of the Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division has exceeded the scope that Malashenko can lead the operation alone. This time the attack will be carried out in two groups in the same general direction at the same time, targeting the same area. The two main German defensive positions.

In the most important direction, Malashenko led the main force to personally direct the operation, while in the other direction it was left to Lavrinenko to lead the team. This is also the reason why Lavrinenko is not seen in the division headquarters now. Lao Tie has already taken a step ahead and prepared to go to the other side.

"In accordance with the combat orders from the front army headquarters and the specific action plan formulated by our division, all troops have been mobilized. Your first regiment, second regiment and Varosha's infantry regiment are all in place. Lavrinenko is responsible for the direction Two infantry divisions are already in place to launch a coordinated attack."

"We have just contacted the 42nd Guards Infantry Division. They will follow the direction you are responsible for and launch an attack. They are currently ready. If you can tear open the opening in one go, they will quickly follow up to expand the results."

"The division's self-propelled rocket artillery battalion is also ready, and will launch artillery preparations with the artillery of the front army later. This is the first battle since the new formation, and they can't wait."

Malashenko, who has a large amount of new equipment in his hands, will naturally not lack treasures like Katyusha. The establishment of an entire battalion is the only one that other tank division commanders cannot envy. This can be regarded as a solution that Vatutin gave to Malashenko after Malashenko proposed to attach importance to high-mobility tank units and lack rapid deployment, rapid maneuvering, and rapid transfer of artillery firepower.

"Everything is ready. Do you have anything to worry about?"

Worried about the problem?

Political Commissar Petrov just asked casually, but he didn't expect Malashenko to actually do it. He was so worried about a new person that Malashenko still couldn't feel relieved.

"Nothing else, I just hope that the new loader you found for me is more reliable."

"Artyom, Artyom, do you think his brother's name is Paul? Then maybe I can trust him more, Seryosha, I'm serious."

Malashenko was not the only one who did not trust the new loader. Iushkin, who was the direct contact person in the battle, was particularly worried about this newcomer with a special name.

Political Commissar Petrov selected a guy named Artyom to replace Kirill and serve as the new loader of Malashenko's crew.

Compared to Kirill, who was a bit thin and had only two strong arms, the new Artyom was well-proportioned from head to toe.

Although he is not a philosopher with huge muscles and feels like he will tear off his clothes and wrestle with you at any time, this guy is indeed the strongest in the entire crew. Only Malashenko's one meter is not suitable for tank soldiers. Jiuduo could be taller than this Artyom.

Iushkin, with a cigarette in his mouth, sat on the edge of the tank, looking at the new crew members who were busy carrying the last few rounds of artillery shells not far away in the night, with an expression of distrust.

"Hey, Iushkin, you have to give the new comrade some trust. Artyom was personally selected by Comrade Comrade Political Commissar. He is an old tank soldier who has participated in the war in 1941. He participated in the Defense of Moscow and the Battle of Stalingrad. , was transferred to us after being injured and returning to the front line. He is still a party member and there are not many good comrades with such rich combat experience. "

Seryosha, who was better at making new friends than Iushkin, was the person who talked to Artyom the most in the entire car crew. He was not as good as Iushkin, who put on a bad face and said nothing to others when they first met. Know how good it is.

Iushkin himself also knew that his dissatisfaction with Artyom was actually mostly a derivative result of Kirill's sudden transfer, which led to his dissatisfaction.

But even though he knew it well, Iushkin still couldn't completely convince himself to be honest with this new guy. Iushkin knew very well that he couldn't do this yet.

"I hope he can change my opinion of him during the battle. Until now, I still feel that he will not do better than Kirill. My feeling has always been accurate!"
