Chapter 1435 Not giving in

At this point in the war, Malashenko has long been indifferent to how many more defense forces he has eliminated. At best, just adding more numbers is of little significance.

There is only one opponent that Malashenko really wants to crush at this moment: the Viking division bastards of the SS.

The bad things these unscrupulous humanoid beasts committed in the Soviet Union have long been known to everyone. Malashenko, who has seen too many massacres and inhumane horrors along the way, now just wants to hurry up and fight with the Vikings. The bastards faced each other and sent them on their last journey with complete destruction.

"Ah, Malashenko, you are here, I was just going to find you."

Malashenko, who was about to give the order for the troops to regroup and continue the pursuit, had not had time to take action when the political commissar comrade who quickly stepped forward came to him holding the telegram in his hand.

"A telegram has just been sent from the front army headquarters. The Germans fleeing to the northwest have just caught fire with friendly forces. Comrade Commander has mobilized a tank corps to lie directly in front of the Germans' escape route. The telegram said that the battle is now The situation was very intense. The Germans invested at least one regiment of armor and an equal number of infantry in the first round of charge. It seemed that they were in a hurry. "

"Comrade Commander asked our division to speed up and catch up, and cooperate with friendly forces to completely annihilate all remaining enemies. Among all the remaining pursuit forces, we are the closest now. If we act quickly, it is completely late. One tank corps is enough to defeat Germany. I've been holding on for a long time."

While Comrade Political Commissar explained, Comrade Lao Ma, who received the telegram, quickly read it and supplemented it with self-understanding.

The content of the telegram had clear orders as stated by Comrade Political Commissar. Vatutin directly asked Malashenko to seize the opportunity this time and completely annihilate the last remaining German troops.

Malashenko, whose brain was extremely logical, began to think quickly about the details that must be taken into consideration. In addition to the original division, he also had the Fourth Guards Tank Brigade to act together and be dispatched at any time. .

In this way, if the total strength of the troops is added up, the total strength will basically be nearly 20,000. The main reason for this is that his own division is originally a large establishment and far exceeds the average Guards tank division of the same level.

On this basis, coupled with the front-on cooperation of the friendly tank troops lying in front of the Germans, the total strength of the two sides should not differ too much after a back and forth, which is basically about 30,000 to 40,000 people.

However, the advantages in morale and technical equipment are all on our side, and we can also get support and cover from fighter planes in the sky. It is very easy to deal with the last remaining Germans and there is no big problem.

"Okay, I've finished reading the telegram. Just follow what it says and take action immediately! Inform the troops to assemble. We don't want these shabby weapons from the Germans. Stop cleaning the battlefield and set off in five minutes!"

It is not easy for the 1st Stalin Guards Tank Division, which has a lot of pots and pans and various belongings, to move quickly, not to mention that it has just finished a battle. It is a bit too difficult to get the troops to set off within five minutes, and it can even be called unrealistic, but Malashenko, who is under the command of Vatutin, no longer cares about these things.

Rushing forward, knocking them over and then tearing these Germans to pieces, winning the final victory in one fell swoop, this was more important than anything else to the now red-eyed Malashenko.

"Is the car ready?"

Iushkin, who was holding an extra-large wrench in his hand, was squatting on the left side of the tank with Seryosha, who was holding a crowbar. They seemed to be studying whether there was something wrong between the second and third road wheels. , the tank just started to feel something was obviously wrong, and the bumps were more serious than usual.

Hearing Malashenko's sudden move to ask, Iushkin subconsciously raised his head and replied.

"It's a small problem, but it won't affect the battle, so it can be said to be ready."

"Then don't worry about it so much. Let's leave the small issues until after the battle. The Germans were intercepted by friendly forces not far in front of us. They can't run away this time! We will be completely done after this battle!"

There was obvious excitement in Malashenko's tone. After hearing this, Iushkin and Seryosha looked at each other and instantly became happy.

For Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, the biggest feature and unforgettable aspect of the Battle of Cherkasy was the constant maneuvering, covering more distances than in any previous battle.

Not only did there not be much rest time after the long-distance maneuvering, and the bumping was a bit unbearable, but the bad road conditions and long-distance off-road maneuvers also caused huge losses to the tank itself that can be seen with the naked eye.

Now there is just a small problem with the road wheels, and the car feels a little more wobbly when driving, something not quite right.

But if it continues like this, Iushkin himself feels that this precious car may declare a strike soon and be unable to hold on.

Now that I have heard the news of the final battle, this is undoubtedly good news for both people and cars. It would be false to say that Iushkin is not happy about this. He quickly followed Comrade Commander to get on the car and prepare to set off. It is now The only real thing to do.

"I've been waiting for you to say this! It's best to finish this battle quickly. My bones are almost falling apart in the past few days."

Iushkin, who complained softly and climbed up to the turret, got into the car in three strokes. Malashenko, who entered the turret first, reached for the radio transmitter hanging next to him. , then connected to the public channel and issued orders to all radio-equipped vehicle crews in the division.

"This is the last battle for Circassia, comrades! Go out and crush those Germans! Completely bury those Fascist SS!"

call out--

boom--

At the same time that Malashenko issued the order for a general attack, a scene of steel and flesh violently colliding and strangulating was taking place on the battlefield not far away.

"Come on, come on! We don't have time, break through the Russian defense line! Hurry!"

"Armor-piercing bullets! Aim at the Russian's T34 and prepare to shoot!"

"There are too many of them and they are coming towards us!"

Because the Soviet tank army that came to intercept also marched quickly at night and night, the battle that Malashenko had not yet joined was not a traditional positional offensive and defensive battle, but a battle that entered a state of white deterioration and anxiety from the beginning. Armored encounter.

There were countless T3485 medium tanks, and they were strangled fiercely with the German forward armored forces, with fire flying everywhere. The Red Army tank soldiers who received the order not to allow the Germans to take another step forward refused to give in. The Germans, who knew that time was equal to life, were eager to kill at the beginning of the battle with red eyes and all body parts. Solution.
