Chapter 1864 Target: Marinovo

Can I do it myself?

What an international joke!

If I can handle all these bad things by myself, then we can trade. ReadМ

You come to be the division commander. I am very capable. I am going to be the commander of the front army. I can handle such a big thing. Why don't you reward me with the title of commander of the front army? This isn't fair.

I thought to myself that complaining and thinking before acting are two completely different things. Smiling and getting close to each other is the real state of Comrade Ma.

"How is this possible? Comrade Commander, please stop making fun of me. Isn't that what I was about to say?"

"You just happened to bring it up, so I don't need to talk any more nonsense. I really need your help to solve the problem of logistics parts supply and staffing for this batch of vehicles, otherwise I will have to sell my old face to other friendly forces. It would be too troublesome for the troops to ask for help one by one, hehe."

Looking at the "you know" expression on Malashenko's face, Vatutin felt more and more that the relationship between himself and Malashenko was less like a superior and a subordinate, and more like the relationship between an elder brother and a younger brother.

If it were someone else who made such a big request for him and still smiled playfully, Vatutin felt that he would probably show a poker face and chase the person away on the spot, and get out of here.

But when it comes to Malashenko, I somehow can't think of swearing, or even if I can think of it, I can't say it. Where did this kid get the ability to "control" himself?

Vatugin shook his head helplessly with a smile on his face, but he didn't know that getting along with other people was so magical sometimes. ơɱ

"I can only verbally promise you these things now, but as for how much help I can provide you, I can't tell you the exact information now. Everything will have to wait until I go back and check the logistics records and reports before I can make a decision."

"There should be only so many new experienced tank crews, enough spare parts to maintain normal operations, and prisoners who know how to maintain them. What else do you need?"

Vatutin spoke out all the "three essential elements" in one breath to maintain the normal operation of more than 30 Black Panther 2s. Upon hearing this, Malashenko was suddenly shocked that Vatutin had "early... "Be prepared." Why are you talking about so much just now, all just to play with yourself?

"No, Comrade Commander, these are enough. What's left is to form these things into combat effectiveness as soon as possible and use them in actual combat. This takes some time and can only be done in a relatively stable environment. It should not be possible now, but it is not Representative, you won’t be able to do that in the future. I believe it won’t be long before you can come to our division to inspect this brand new fist force.”

With Malashenko's personal promise, many things are actually settled and there is no need to say more.

Vatutin, who was still smiling, raised his arm and patted Malashenko on the shoulder. Facing this huge subordinate, who was more than 1.9 meters tall, he even had to look up, but this did not prevent Vatutin from believing in Malashenko. What kind of person is Rashenko? A person who is absolutely worthy of his trust and absolutely reliable.

"Since this is what you want, then work hard to achieve it and complete it!"

"There are many Red Army tank units using Panther tanks. I hope that the unit under your command can become the best among them, just like you are the best when you command and control the tanks self-developed and produced by the motherland!"

Vatutin, who had confirmed and handed over all important matters with Malashenko, did not stay long. He came here specifically to confirm the condition of the baby with his own eyes, and by the way, he got into the blood pool in the north while Malashenko was there. See you again before wallowing in the woods. If Malashenko has any urgent needs, he can tell him clearly in person, and everything that needs to be done can be implemented as quickly as possible.

The things that Vatugin thinks about are nothing more than that simple.

"Unexpected! You really want to keep these Black Panthers?! I thought you would give them away, and I didn't expect Comrade Commander to actually agree. I thought the leadership division would not be allowed to use Germans. Tank, isn’t that a little weird?”

Iushkin, who always has something to say in front of Malashenko and never hides anything, is the same this time. He has become an old man by chatting and talking nonsense with this guy who "can be cruel and talkative". One of Comrade Ma’s daily routines that must be indispensable.

"The leader cannot be used? Then you are thinking too much. Comrade Stalin has never been such a pedantic and stubborn person."

"I believe that Comrade Stalin must care more about actual results, that is, the final result, than pursuing superficial things. The Kraut's Black Panther is easy to use. This is a fact that everyone knows. We can use these things. The combat effectiveness will definitely be strengthened.”

“When the news that the leader’s division defeated the enemy on the front line and achieved glorious results reaches the motherland, guess how many people will be excited and happy about it. There will definitely be Comrade Stalin among them, I can guarantee you. "

To be honest, Malashenko did not find it difficult to capture and use German tanks from the beginning, even if the troops he commanded were leading divisions.

Historically, a large number of elite tanks of the Red Army Guards used Panthers. These captured powerful enemy tanks can only be qualified as "veteran crews with excellent combat performance and high team compatibility". Get one as a prize" and join the battle.

In other words, being able to use the Black Panther is something worth boasting about among the Red Army tank crews in history.

The military is a place that has always worshiped the strong, and when you hold the prize that proves your strength, an invincible and extremely sharp armored sword, all the peers around you will look at you with a different look and admiration. You glance.

Now Vatutin has officially approved that Malashenko can use these Black Panther 2s for his own use. In Malashenko's opinion, this is a normal operation in line with common sense. It would be really stupid to leave good things there and not use them. .

Malashenko, who had dealt with the last bit of tidying up matters, was preparing to head north. He led his team to rush to meet up with the political commissar comrades and the others, and then devoted themselves to the next stage of the battle, and dealt with the group of Germans in the northern protrusion as soon as possible. It saves me the time to worry about it.

However, at the same time, the other troops of the leader division of the Danube War Zone heading north, which had already arrived at the outskirts of the northern protrusion, also launched their troops and prepared for battle under the leadership of Political Commissar Petrov, Lavrinenko and others. .

The man who serves as the main sharpener of the 1st Tank Regiment under Kurbalov and is preparing to launch the first round of exploratory offensives is the one who retired from the legendary and glorious position of the No. 177 tank assembly filler earlier and is currently serving as the 1st Regiment. Kirill, the captain of the first company.

"Comrade Company Commander, I went to ask the friendly infantry who just retreated. The Germans in the village in front are an infantry regiment of the Wehrmacht. The good news is that after the battles of the past few days, they are no longer full. Comrades of the infantry The real available strength of this group of Germans is only about half a regiment at most, and they are not equipped with many heavy weapons and armored troops. "

"Including the friendly infantry battalion that cooperated with us, plus we also brought a company of our own infantry. It won't take too much effort for the Germans to eat up half of the regiment. The main gun will crush anyone who dares to resist us. The fascist lackeys will definitely defeat the enemy with one attack!"

The map of the war zone, outlined in detail by the circle of drawing traces, was spread out on the armor plate on the front of the special edition IS6 heavy tank that once had the 177 turret call sign painted on it.

Kirill, who fought in this tank in the past and is still fighting in this tank now, has just changed his identity and position while carefully scanning the war zone map in front of him while thinking about Comrade Kurba, the regiment leader. Love personally assigned him the combat mission.

As the vanguard of the leading division heading north, Kirill already knew what to do, and he blurted out the order in a firm tone without thinking.

"In contact with the regiment headquarters, the first company has arrived at the periphery of the predetermined target location in accordance with the combat mission. The basic enemy situation, troop numbers, and deployment locations have been identified. They are preparing to join forces with friendly forces to launch the first wave of offensive towards the village of Marinovo. The goal is to expel the villagers The enemy garrison will eliminate the resistance, occupy and defend the target node, and will report the latest information as soon as possible. "
