Chapter 1321: Fight the toughest first

Faced with such a rough analysis of the situation, Malashenko did not just feel that he was lucky or lucky, but came to a bold judgment that "it seems that the Germans are still caught off guard."

In other words, if the Germans really want to take full action against themselves, it will probably take some time to mobilize their troops, provided that the Germans really have the spare troops to draw from.

"This situation is very important. It seems that the Germans can't take care of it now. It's best to take the initiative before they take action and try to smash another big bone of these Germans."

As the troops at the final encirclement point, Malashenko and the cooperating 20th Guards Tank Brigade were a lone force, with only a very small number of friendly troops around them or none at all, and they were on their way.

But the negative factors are not all. In the final analysis, there is still good news for Malashenko.

The main forces in all directions on the frontal battlefield are advancing rapidly. The large swaths of defeated German troops that have been withdrawn from the Kursk battlefield are now overwhelmed. The Mud Buddha cannot save himself when crossing the river.

Under such circumstances, Malashenko could imagine that even if those Germans knew that he was making trouble in their stomachs and penetrated deep into the hinterland, under such huge external pressure, how much could you get? Come with the troops to fight against me?

Sending fewer troops is tantamount to giving meat to Malashenko. After all, the 1st Stalin Guards Tank Division is literally pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. With the designation of a division, it actually has as much strength as a tank corps. Oh, it also has the support of another encircling main tank unit: the 20th Guards Tank Brigade.

This is also an out-and-out elite force, but they are not as perverted as Comrade Ma's division.

If the Germans send one or two divisions over, it will be useless. Let alone an infantry division that simply gives away lives. Even if it is two fully equipped German armored divisions, Malashenko still dares to fight like this. Fight your opponents head-on and head-to-head in a snowy armored encounter.

If you think you can win, then you can give it a try. Who else would feel uncomfortable or reject the good thing of improving your record?

Sending fewer troops is equivalent to sending meat, so what does it mean to send more troops?

Sorry, doing this will only make you die faster.

The total strength of the Red Army on the frontal battlefield was more than ten times that of Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division. Excluding technical equipment, this was true in terms of personnel and comprehensive combat power.

To transfer a large number of main forces to encircle and annihilate Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division was to put the cart before the horse. To put it bluntly, it was putting the head before the horse.

The main frontal forces of the Red Army that are pressing forward will quickly break through the weak points and attack. The Germans with wolves in front and tigers in the back, and the combat range will be severely compressed, will die quickly. Malashenko does not need to worry about being surrounded. It's such a stupid thing to be alone and helpless.

So no matter which choice the Germans make, Malashenko's current idea is to let you choose as you please.

But you Germans may hesitate when making your choice, but I won't.

One of the purposes of laying down this high ground is to seize control of the war zone and take the initiative. After looking around in all directions, Malashenko also made his own choice in which direction Malashenko wanted to deal with the Germans.

Standing in front of the newly hung war zone map, Malashenko, who understood the current situation, was extremely confident and in a happy mood. It was such a smooth sailing and a bumper harvest. Comrade Lao Ma asked himself that this was something he had rarely encountered in eight lifetimes.

"Where is our aviation force? Is there any news? We have only seen these flying troops appear once in the fight so far. Don't all go to support the frontal battlefield. We also need help here."

Malashenko has never been afraid of having too much available power. This is the same reason that no one dislikes the fact that he has too much money.

The power on the ground is indeed strong enough, but it would be even better and the icing on the cake if there were planes in the sky to come to help.

Upon hearing Malashenko's inquiry, the political commissar who was directing the debugging of the telegraph machine and communicating with the communications director immediately came forward.

"I've already called to inquire. It shouldn't take long for a reply."

"We can probably get some limited aviation support, and it is not expected to be too much. The telegram just sent from the front army headquarters said that the frontal battlefield is extremely fierce now, and all the main assault forces are going all out. The intensity of the battle is not estimated to be as intense as Ku Even worse than Ersk, the enemy’s resistance is also very tenacious.”

Political Commissar Petrov did not continue, but he hinted that Malashenko's meaning that "the frontal battlefield is so fierce now, the aviation force will definitely attack at full capacity" has been clearly expressed.

We are now in the enemy's rear and abdomen, so don't expect those busy aviation forces flying all over the sky to cross the battlefield and come to support you.

It's a good thing if you can come, but it's normal if you don't come.

After all, plans cannot keep up with changes. If wars are fought according to the drafted regulations and step by step, it will not be called the art of command, so it is best not to have high expectations.

Malashenko could foresee that it might not be realistic to expect aviation to cross the battlefield to support him, but the truth that a crying child needs milk cannot be forgotten. Even if we can't send support, you still have to file a declaration when it's time to request it. The reason is that simple.

"Just tell them that we also need aviation support here, preferably as soon as possible, and don't worry about the rest."

"Also, look here, there is a relatively strong German force in the northwest of the highlands. The intelligence we have shows that before the war started, there was a relatively complete armored division, an infantry division, and some scattered Germans stationed here. Troops and a bunch of Ukrainian traitors.”

"This armored division should be the most complete of all the German armored divisions around the highlands. The others either suffered more than half of their casualties or suffered serious losses in technical equipment and need to be replenished. In other words, this is the biggest threat."

"Instead of just leaving it like this, I plan to knock out these bastards before the Germans make a large-scale reaction. In this way, even if the Germans move from the surrounding directions, the threat will not be too great and we can deal with it easily. , the premise is that we must work together to eliminate this relatively hard bone as quickly as possible. "

Malashenko did not choose the old trick of picking on the weak ones first, but directly chose to destroy the strongest German guy in the group first. This is also a suitable choice based on the possibility of being surrounded. After all, no one wants to wait until they are surrounded by such a group of henchmen who are still in serious trouble.

Since the time for movement and attack is limited, it is better to kill the one that poses the greatest threat first.
