Chapter 1942 Two Generals Fight for People

The chat with Charlieson and Jack did not last long. Zhukov came over to say hello and get to know each other, which was a polite enough act. 6⃞ 9⃞ s⃞ h⃞ u⃞ x⃞ .⃞ c⃞ o⃞ m⃞Reading It was only after Malashenko said that this man was the leader of the Allied Officer Corps that he came to take a look.

Otherwise, the noble and troubled Comrade Lao Zhu probably wouldn't even be interested in coming over to say hello. His schedule today is very tight, and he has to rush back to the front line soon, so he really doesn't have any extra time. available for waste.

After the brief chat and a short farewell, Zhukov called Malashenko to the side and started talking about other things, walking and talking.

"What do you think after the end of this cross-border cooperation? What is your evaluation of these British and American officers? They are the middle-level backbone of their respective armies' armored forces. Understanding these people is very useful for us to understand the strength of the armored forces of the British and American allies. "

These words Zhukov said, Malashenko also heard from Vatutin before setting off.

In short, you can't just go in and out. When teaching those British guys and Americans, you must also pay attention to them, find out their strength, and find ways to find out the background of these guys. Although you can't stand up to the Germans on the battlefield, you still need to at least know how far these guys are. As long as you have the confidence in your heart, you can deal with them freely in the future. It's that simple.

Malashenko, who always remembered the task assigned to him by Vatutin, heard this, organized his words and thought for a while, and then slowly spoke to Zhukov beside him.

"Compared with those Germans, their tactics are bloated and rigid, and they are unable to be flexible and adaptable on the battlefield."

"The British are pursuing their outdated doctrine of "infantry tanks and cruise tanks" and they are still persisting in it. The Americans are not much better. The battlefield division of labor for the main armored combat units is too clear. The lack of versatility is essentially the same problem as the British. It is easy for the Germans to detect weaknesses and focus on them and defeat them. "

"What's more important is that their supporting tactics and practical applications are also ridiculously poor. They are not at the same level as us. At most, they are at the level of the second-rate German armored forces. The quality of the main armored combat units is also mixed, with too few good ones. , too bad, no match for the German high-end zoos, can only barely bully those No. 4. "

"In short, there are too few advantages and too many shortcomings. If you ask me, it is not surprising at all that they were beaten so miserable by the Germans on the Western Front. In other words, if the Germans can't even hold down guys of this level. If we fight on the ground, then we may have pushed to Berlin to plant the red flag by now. This is no joke, Comrade Marshal.

As the top general in charge of the entire army, Zhukov naturally has an understanding of all forms of frontline situations. He also knows almost everything Malashenko said and analyzed them similarly.

The reason why I want to ask Malashenko is to see what the specific views of Malashenko, a frontline commander and fighter who is closer to the front line and can hear the battlefield artillery fire and the roar of tanks all the time.

If even Malashenko commented on these British and Yankees like this, Zhukov felt that the real level of these Anglo-Saxon barbarians was probably about this, and they were almost the same and could not make much of a splash. In summary, it has been far surpassed by the Red Army. If you want to catch up with the Red Army, you must first catch up to the level of the Germans.

"Well, what you said is very important. It will have a clear understanding of the future tactics and battle doctrines of our Red Army tank troops. The mistakes that the British and American Allied Forces have proved with their bloody lessons, our future Don’t do it again.”

"After you come down, sort these things out in detail, take the time to make a detailed report, write it down clearly one by one, and attach your opinions and analysis, and then have someone send it to me directly and hand it over to me. No matter where I am at that time, I will just say that this is my personal order and require relevant comrades and personnel to cooperate without delay."

"If I have the opportunity, I will submit it to the leading comrades in person for reference. Comrade Stalin has been paying close attention to you and your division's situation recently, and has asked me about it from time to time. This report can explain very well what you have done. Meaningful thing.”

It sounds like it is a business plan for the future development of the Red Army, but if you take a closer look, it does mean that it will help Malashenko to show his face and have multiple opportunities to perform in front of his loving father, Comrade Stalin.

Someone took the initiative to do such a good thing for him, but Malashenko knew that this was something most people would never think of doing, and he felt extremely grateful to Comrade Lao Zhu.

Perhaps he also saw what the slightly excited Malashenko wanted to say next. Zhukov, who raised his hand slightly while walking, took the initiative to indicate that this could be dispensed with and that time should be left to talk about more meaningful things. grateful.

"The next phase of the overseas combat plan is being formulated and has reached the final stage. But there is still an outstanding issue that needs to be resolved. Your opinion will play a more important role in it. I want to hear what you have to say."

""

What the hell is this? I'm just a big-ass little general. Why do you, a bunch of marshals and generals, involve me in formulating strategic plans? When did I become so awesome that I could get involved in something of this level? Is this Comrade Zhu trying to trick the Sa family? ? ?

Malashenko's confusion is justified. It stands to reason that the formulation of this kind of strategic plan has nothing to do with Malashenko, the major general and division commander. It has to be Vasilevsky and Zhukov. Only the number one person is qualified to take care of matters of concern.

But Zhukov's immediate reaction was disapproval, and he quickly answered Malashenko's questions with his actual words.

"It's about the issue between Comrade Konev and Comrade Vatutin. Of course it also involves you. It's not complicated. You will understand after listening to me."

"Ah this"

Unexpectedly, what kind of sparks could be created between these two big guys and himself, Malashenko, who forcibly suppressed his curiosity, decided to continue listening to Comrade Lao Zhu and not talk about the useless nonsense.

"The overall strategic direction for Poland has been established, but one problem is that Comrades Konev and Vatutin both asked their superiors to assign the Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division to their own fronts."

"You need to keep these things strictly confidential. The two of them have already gone to Comrade Stalin because of the issue of ownership of your division. I can't comment on the personal conflicts between the two. Some issues are under the control of the First and Second Ukrainian Fronts. It was already settled.”

"Although the superiors have promised the two of them that the front army that has not received the leadership division will be supplemented by other troops with corresponding strength. But the two of them have reached the point of not giving in and tit-for-tat on this matter, and neither of them wants other troops. Supplement, I only ask for your teacher by name.”

"Comrade Stalin is considering this issue. He hopes that I can seek some opinions from you. This is very important. If you have any ideas, just say it. The superiors will fully consider it and decide whether to adopt your opinions under appropriate circumstances. "
