Chapter 3235 Red Dawn (Part 1)

Malashenko, who led the team to the venue where the exercise was held, first arranged for Jack and his party to stay before officially going to observe the exercise tomorrow. {What? You don’t know yet|Read COM, read the chapters without mistakes|Hurry up and Google them}

He immediately rushed to the location of the participating troops non-stop. First, he inspected the participating troops of the Leader's Army led by Iushkin, followed closely by Wittmann's 7th Tank Division, running back and forth.

To say that Wittmann was not the only one who came with determination to win, Iushkin was also counting on this opportunity to perform meritorious service to show off in front of the old commander.

This can be seen simply from the size and composition of the troops brought by Iushkin.

Iushkin not only brought the old foundation troops that Malashenko brought out during the Great Patriotic War, which is now the 9th Guards Tank Division.

It was also called the "Malashenko Division" because Malashenko served as the first division commander when the army first started, to distinguish it from what is now simply the "Leader's Army".

In addition to the strongest Guards tank division in the entire Soviet army, which was organized under the leadership of the Leader's Army, Iushkin, who was very ambitious and striving to win, also organized the newly expanded short-range ground-to-ground tactics under the leadership of the Leader's Army. The ballistic missile brigade and military-affiliated self-propelled artillery brigade were also brought.

Faced with Iushkin's "super configuration" of "one division plus two brigades", Malashenko, who lamented that such a complete arrangement was a bit excessive, couldn't help but smile at Iushkin.

"Wittmann only has one division in his hands. It would be better for you to send out the supporting forces of the leader's army. Why don't you bring the air defense brigade with you? They will be included in the attack force and can be bulldozed together by Wittmann. "

Knowing that the old commander was joking, he felt a little embarrassed. Iushkin, who was too bullying, also replied slightly embarrassed.

"I just brought it. What if it comes in handy? That's what I thought, Comrade Commander."

"Even if it is not used, it can only be used as a training exercise for the troops. It will not be in vain to test the long-distance cross-country maneuverability under wartime conditions."

"Well, that's exactly what happened."

Malashenko, who knew that Iushkin was looking for a temporary explanation, did not delve too deeply into this issue. Instead, he asked Iushkin in an impromptu manner and with interest.

"Then what's the result of your test? After leaving the Leader's Army for so long, what do you think of the current Leader's Army?"

"Very good, very powerful! So powerful that it even surprises me, Comrade Commander."

As soon as Malashenko asked about this, Iushkin, who was immediately interested, quickly replied excitedly.

"Frankly speaking, I had roughly guessed that the leader's army would be very strong, which exceeded my expectations. But I really didn't expect that it would be so strong. It far exceeded my previous judgment. Not one of the standing wave groups The army is comparable to the current leader’s army.”

"To be precise, I should say that the troops stationed in the wave cluster give me the feeling that they are like the general guards of the Red Army in 1945. Compared with the leadership army at that time, there is a gap."

It may sound like an exaggeration, but Malashenko understands that Iushkin's statement is not actually too much.

In the seven years since he served as the commander of the cluster, Malashenko has made the greatest efforts to reorganize and upgrade the leading army.

Just like the Leader's Division during the Great Patriotic War, the Leader's Army has been Malashenko's pilot unit for testing the modernization and adaptation plan of the force for the past seven years.

Except for some experimental weapons and prototype equipment that are too new and need to be kept confidential, they are not suitable to be brought to the front lines of the two Germanys and equipped to the leading troops.

Malashenko, who exercised his authority, did almost anything, assembling all kinds of new and powerful weapons and equipment to the leadership army one by one. At the same time, he systematically established support firepower at the level of the combined arms group army.

Moreover, we have to go further in terms of battle tactics and tactical concepts, which is more powerful than the application of new equipment.

Many of the troop models and military doctrines that have been popularized throughout the Soviet Army are continuously pumped out from the beating heart of the leader's army, and then transmitted to the entire Soviet Army for shared development.

The name of the former leader is no longer there, but the leader's steel is still the most powerful army field group in the world.

Just by placing it in the position of the Berlin garrison, the neighbors next door can have trouble sleeping, eating and sleeping. Not to mention the even more terrifying "Iron Butcher", who and his 350,000 "Slavic warriors" were arrayed in East Germany, waiting for danger.

This posture scares everyone who sees it. This is the key to winning back Comrade Maize's face.

Time flew by with everyone's attention and anticipation. In the blink of an eye, it came to the early morning and the last moment before the sun rose. It was the time when all participating troops entered their respective positions and prepared to start work.

"God, this is the strongest army unit of the Russians. This is the torrent of steel that makes those media people lose their pens."

"It's more than that, Frank. Although it is not easy for you and me to admit it, there is no doubt that this is the most powerful army field group in the world today. To underestimate the Russians' attainments at the level of land warfare is like underestimating Look like Her Majesty’s corgis.”

"What kind of weird metaphor are you talking about? John. But I understand, it's true."

The U.S. Army Lieutenant General and the British Army Lieutenant General behind him were chatting happily.

Jack, who had already sat at the head of the guest table, had no intention of paying attention to this. After using the light of dawn to see clearly the participating troops of the Leader Army entering the starting position, Jack put down the telescope again and his heart was already surging.

"I have to admit, teacher. You still have the most powerful army in the world under your command. This has been the case for 45 years, and it is still the same today. Being able to lead and command such an army is the ultimate goal for all passionate men in the world. Dream, for this reason alone, you are already "the enemy of real men in the world."

With no one around to watch, Jack was happy to communicate with his teacher on a private terms.

After hearing this, Malashenko also sat in the commander's position and listened carefully, then smiled. This is indeed the case, it is natural and there is no need to be too hypocritical.

"Enjoy it, Jack. There are no commanders of U.S. Forces in Europe and the commander of the East German cluster here today, only Jack and Malashenko. This is a farewell for you. I hope we can maintain peace forever, and of course I also wish you personally The future is bright.”

Jack, who smiled and expressed his gratitude, nodded, and then saw Malashenko on the side, after confirming the situation with the general who came to report.

Then he picked up the wireless transmitter on the table at hand and lowered his voice to give the order himself.

"Attention all commanders and fighters of the First Guards Tank Corps! I am General Malashenko, commander of the East German Cluster. Now I announce that the "Red Dawn" military operation has officially begun! Attack the enemy!"
