Chapter 940 There is something wrong with the head

Captain Varosha's eyesight was very good, but it was still not good enough to be able to see the panoramic view of the city's landscape several kilometers away with the naked eye.

Seeing that Captain Varosha, who was stretching his head and blinking, was struggling to see, Malashenko took the initiative to hand over the binoculars in his hand, and Captain Varosha's own telescope seemed to have been used on a previous occasion. It was damaged in battle and a new one has not been obtained since.

He gratefully took the telescope handed over by Malashenko and looked around.

Captain Varosha could clearly see the attack route outlined by Malashenko's verbal description. Generally speaking, it was indeed much easier to walk than the surrounding roads, but the disadvantage was that it was as winding as a trail. There are twists and turns, seven twists and turns. However, any slightly larger force will definitely not be able to deploy here. Whether to take this offensive route is really a difficult decision.

"I think it is feasible in principle. If it is difficult for us to gather troops on this road, it will be even more difficult for the Germans to defend! There are no solid firepower points that can be effectively defended here, only large tracts of ruins and continuous paths. , and fighting in ruins is obviously our strength, and those Germans are no match for us. "

Captain Varosha's analysis is basically consistent with Malashenko's views.

Many difficult conditions on the battlefield are two-way. The attacker is uncomfortable playing, the defender is also lame, and the inability to use fists and kicks is the same for everyone.

But taken together, this is obviously more detrimental to the German army, which lacks a sufficient number of heavy weapons to defend the city.

As long as there is an IS1 heavy tank taking the lead, any German light weapons defense line will be broken like window paper. This seemingly dangerous and bold tactic is worth a try!

"Well, since we all think there is no problem, we will act according to this offensive line. The offensive formation is still the same. You infantry follow our tanks and let the tanks take the lead. The Germans lack the ability to effectively restrain us. For new heavy tank anti-armor weapons, this is the best way.”

"in addition"

Malashenko glanced at Captain Varosha with interest in the middle of the sentence. Captain Varosha, who didn't know what he meant, was a little confused and didn't know what it meant. But one thing that Captain Varosha could be sure of was that Malashenko Comrades shouldn't like men. I heard that Comrade Brigade Commander's fiancée is as beautiful as a snowdrop on an iceberg. Why should she like a big man with rough hands and feet?

"I won't force you, Captain Varosha, but if you are willing, after the battle of Stalingrad is over, you can join our 1st Guards Heavy Tank Brigade. At that time, I will recommend you to your superiors for promotion to major. "

"To tell you the truth, I still lack an experienced infantry commander under my command. I think you are very suitable for this position."

"How's it going? Are you interested in joining my unit?"

Although he has ace tank commanders like Lavrinenko and Kulbalov under him, but now that the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Brigade has been hastily established, Malashenko increasingly feels that he lacks a capable tank commander under him. Recruiting talents in the field of infantry command who are good at fighting.

Although the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Brigade is a unit directly under the Front Army Headquarters, it is always dispatched to the most intense fighting areas during wartime. The basic configuration is to coordinate operations with infantry units at the division level, and two or three infantry divisions. Malashenko fought a cooperative battle together more than once.

But as the saying goes, borrowed things are never as useful as your own. Although the number of infantry units attached to the First Guards Heavy Tank Brigade is not large, the role it can play in battle cannot be underestimated.

What makes Malashenko feel depressed is that the level of his infantry commanders and fighters, according to Political Commissar Petrov, has just reached the qualification level of company-level commanders and fighters.

I don’t know whether it was because Comrade Lao Zhu didn’t pay attention to the infantry when he assigned troops to the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Brigade, or because there really were no more senior infantry commanders to choose from. In short, he wanted to promote a reliable infantry commander, Marashin. Wow, I really scratched my head and couldn't find a suitable candidate.

But when Malashenko met Captain Varosha, who admired him very much by chance, Malashenko fell in love with this captain at a glance, who had both brains and the courage to lead the charge.

No matter what career a person has in this life, if he wants to move up and get promoted, it is essential to have Bole's promotion, appreciation and reuse, even if he has great ability and talent.

Malashenko believed that Captain Varosha's ability should not be limited to staying in the position of captain company commander. Guys like this who are capable and not afraid of death should be sent to a larger stage to display their talents.

Since Varosha's current boss doesn't know how to reuse talents, he might as well be a Bole wielding a hoe to dig corners.

Malashenko is not afraid that someone will accuse him and slander him behind his back because of this matter. If someone thinks they can get him, they can give it a try. Anyway, Malashenko has become so big that he has seen the reality clearly. I don't care, instead of avoiding it, it's better to stand here and face it bravely.

Anyway, there are people above me and mountains behind me. Vatutin and Chuikov can both say a few words to each other, and there is also the giant Buddha of Comrade Zhu behind me.

You can sue him if you want, but I've got him anyway, it's that simple.

Malashenko believed that with his personal charm and the reputation of the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Brigade, it would not be a problem to recruit Captain Varosha to serve under him, not to mention that he had promised benefits and guided a brighter future. The road ahead is obviously a sure thing, and the answer is almost yes.

But what Malashenko didn't expect was that Captain Varosha's face looked a little strange after hearing this.

The expression was one of obvious joy at first, and then it showed that he had encountered something uncertain, and he couldn't decide what to pay attention to for a while. Even Malashenko couldn't figure out what the song was singing due to the rapid changes between cloudy and clear. That came out. Fortunately, Captain Varosha, who did not hesitate for too long, quickly took the initiative to speak and gave his answer to Malashenko, who frowned slightly.

"This matter of mine is not something I can decide alone, Comrade Malashenko. I have other reasons that I am not comfortable saying, but after we finish fighting this battle, I will take care of these things. When the time comes, I will give you an accurate answer."

After saying that, Captain Varosha, who couldn't tell whether the expression on his face was happy or depressed, turned around on his own initiative, left the top floor with a few accompanying soldiers and walked down. Before leaving, he told Malashenko that he would first Go down and prepare for the attack.

Only our Comrade Lao Ma was left, feeling a little confused with the indescribable feeling in his heart that he seemed to have been tricked by someone, as if a person had overestimated his own personality charm.

Fortunately, Iushkin, who has always liked to tell the truth, rarely spoke the truth this time.

"Is there something wrong with this guy's head? The 1st Guards Heavy Tank Brigade is the number one heroic unit in the entire Red Army tank force. The brigade commander is the winner of the Hero of the Soviet Union title personally signed by the supreme leader Comrade Stalin, and he is also a household name in the entire motherland. Tank hero."

"I didn't even invite you to join. Either there's something wrong with this person's head or he has the sequelae of having a fever when he was a child. Absolutely! To be honest, I don't like this person. I'm serious, I'm not kidding."
