Chapter 2634: Insufficient firepower, need to continue to strengthen

Since the outer city had just been captured not long ago, the leadership division headed by the political commissar did not have time to move forward and deploy again.

If Malashenko wanted to return to the division headquarters from the front line in the city where the battle had just ended, he had to drive outside the city and return to the small town.

Fortunately, the remnants of the German army along the way have been wiped out. After a fierce exchange of fire and table tennis, most of the remaining German soldiers raised their hands and surrendered obediently. As for those who did not wink, they would not have a chance to raise their hands to surrender in the future. , being carried and thrown into the car like a dead pig was the only possible final outcome.

"How does it feel to fight Germans in Berlin?"

The car kept moving forward on the flat paved road, occasionally stopping for a moment because of the rows of passing German prisoners or its own vehicles.

Alsim, who was still concentrating on driving, seemed a little at a loss when he heard Malashenko suddenly ask this question, but it was not a question that was too difficult to answer.

"There's nothing special about this, Comrade Commander. Killing nazis is the same to me. In my eyes, the only difference between those naughty dogs and animals is that animals crawl on the ground. They stand up and walk. Of course, the actual killing is the same. I don't think there is any difference.

Alsim might have misunderstood what Malashenko meant. The question Malashenko really wanted to ask was obviously not this.

"Well, this is how you feel. So are there any specific changes in the feeling during the battle? For example, changes in the enemy's fighting will and overall combat effectiveness."

"Oh, you said this"

After hearing this, Alsim turned the steering wheel and turned a corner. Although his education level was almost zero, Alsim's driving skills were quite good. It is said that he learned it from the logistics auto soldiers in Finland a long time ago. Sometimes when a lone soldier goes deep into the enemy camp, it is inevitable to rely on captured enemy vehicles to escape. At that time, Alsim had no choice but to learn this.

I just didn't expect that this illiterate person who couldn't read a lot of Chinese characters would learn to drive very quickly.

Later, he drove the car hijacked from the Finnish ghost several times, carrying his brothers from the infiltration and sabotage team, and blew up the Finnish ghost's camp to the sky, or set it on fire and then drove away. , it is true that you have applied what you have learned.

Alsim, who was holding the steering wheel and concentrating on driving while thinking about Malashenko's problem, quickly spoke again.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. It's all expected."

"Compared to the scumbags outside Berlin and on the Zero Heights before, these bastards in the city are indeed more tenacious in fighting will. But in contrast, the fighting quality of this group of people is really not that good. , It’s even a lot worse than the group of nazis on the Zero Highlands before, and the equipment in their hands is also a mess.”

"It's surprising even to say that. I also saw the Germans using American-made submachine guns, such as the Thompson submachine gun, to deal with us. I guess they must have brought it from the west, or they collected it and transported it to the logistics Secondary distribution in the warehouse. In short, these scum are almost done. With this level of equipment, they are not even qualified to carry shoes for us. How can we win the war? "

"Um"

Regarding Alsim's answer, Malashenko did not comment too much in detail, but simply responded with a hum.

Alsim's statement certainly has positive reference significance and value for Malashenko, but on the other hand, Alsim represents the most capable heavy infantry force in the entire leadership division and is an elite medium-sized infantry force. The elite, both in terms of personnel quality and equipment level, are the best, and of course the rarest.

Even if it is under the hands of a "big shot" like a local tycoon like Malashenko, it can only be compared to the size of two battalions.

Alsim's remarks represent the views of the most elite heavy infantry who are most suitable for fierce frontal battlefield battles. This at least shows that the average comprehensive combat strength of the German infantry in Berlin is far lower than that of the infantry of the leading division. The ceiling level of combat power made Alsim give a "disdainful comment", saying that fighting was like chopping melons and vegetables.

On the other hand, Malashenko is thinking about the conventional infantry unit of the leader division. Fighting with the Germans is not yet a direct victory by pushing all the way. In key traffic junctions and countless indoor battles, you will still be temporarily hindered by the enemy's madness and fight to the death, and you may even have to pay a certain degree of casualties to win.

Comparing the two and taking a comprehensive view, Malashenko believes that the Berlin Garrison infantry, which is the absolute main force of the city defense force and the most troublesome, still poses a considerable threat to the leader division. The existing advantages of the basic infantry units are not enough for the infantry units of the leader division to push the enemy to the end without any pressure. This is a very important situation for Malashenko.

One of Malashenko's ultimate purposes for launching this battle is to get a feel for the Germans and see how many Germans are left in Berlin after the war of attrition in the Zero Heights. What is the combat strength level of these garrison infantry?

Now that the conclusion is reached, Malashenko's goal has been achieved.

The comprehensive combat power of these German infantrymen in the Berlin City Garrison has declined. Regardless of the quality of the personnel and the level of equipment, there is indeed a gap compared with the group of Nazi consumables on the Zero Heights. It seems that the German troops who were transferred out of the city to reinforce the Zelo Highlands were indeed elite defenders. This was exactly what Malashenko had originally expected, and it can be said to be the best result.

However, this level has dropped, but it is not low enough to call the Italians or Romanians brothers. It must be said that the Germans are Germans. The specific performance of this universal combat power limit is better than the universal combat capabilities of the Italians and Romanians. The upper limit of force is high. Malashenko, who has always wanted to further control and reduce casualties, now has the answer to what to do next and how to adjust.

"No, we still need to increase our firepower. The casualties are not as low as expected, which means that the siege firepower is not strong enough. The 122 and 130 guns are still not enough. It seems that we need to use larger artillery to send the Germans away."

The silent Malashenko has already set his sights on two other more powerful and destructive weapons, although dispatching these two brother-level weapons will inevitably lead to more civilian casualties. But if you really asked Malashenko to choose between the lives of German civilians and the lives of his own soldiers, then Malashenko would choose the latter without hesitation no matter what.

It can only be said that the leader is here to kill the Nazis, not to be a humanitarian rescue team.

There is no need to say any unnecessary nonsense. It is more important to understand why you are here than anything else.

Malashenko, who has made up his mind, will not make any changes, and no one can persuade him.

At the same time, Alsim, who had been driving with his hands on the steering wheel, slowly spoke, bringing Malashenko's thoughts back to reality.

"We are here, Comrade Commander."
