Steel Soviet Union

"Huh? Keep going south? Let me see!"

The reason why I wasn't curious just now was because Malashenko wanted to try to see if his guess was accurate. Now the result has come out. Comrade Ma did indeed guess wrong as Comrade Political Commissar said. Let's see if he guessed correctly after he guessed wrong. The answer is reasonable, right? Isn't it?

"Cooperate with the 1st Ukrainian Front Army to encircle and annihilate the German Army Group on the southern front? Pursue the retreating enemy and complete the interception mission, annihilating as many enemy forces as possible? This is not, why do I think this order looks a bit weird? Don't you think so? ?”

When he said the first half of the sentence, Malashenko's voice was still relatively high, and his words were full of surprise. It was obvious that he did not expect it.

However, the tone of the second half of the sentence changed. Malashenko deliberately lowered his voice and spoke in a low voice only within the hearing of himself and his political commissar comrades.

If nothing else, I just want to know if Comrade Political Commissar is the same as me and if he has any other views on this seemingly strange order telegram.

Why is this order a bit strange? Because Malashenko had known for a long time that Konev, who had millions of troops, did not lack the troops of his own division at all. Konev could kill the Germans even if he piled them with people. Logically speaking, he was the one who was least needed. Extra friendly reinforcements.

The main forces in other directions go to fight in the direction they are responsible for. If you say that this kind of thing has not been approved by the military commander in the supporting direction, or even applied for it, Malashenko will not believe it to death. Because the previous battle plan was not arranged in this way at all, the whole thing now was completely a temporary adjustment after the battle started.

So who made the adjustment?

Malashenko did not dare to immediately declare that it was not a good thing to doubt and talk about his superiors.

But Malashenko remembered another thing that Zhukov had told him personally before: Vatutin and Konev had gone to the side of their loving father Comrade Stalin to demand the ownership of the leadership division. And the next thing is to complete the decision.

If you follow the normal procedure, you have to ask Malashenko to tell you which direction he is most likely to be transferred to next. Of course, Malashenko thinks that he should return to his old army, continue to work with Vatutin, and prepare to attack the East. A Prussian offensive campaign was most likely.

Not only was the Leader's Division originally affiliated with the Third Belarusian Front, that is, the troops under the command of Vatutin, but it was only a temporary secondment to work for Driver Luo in the First Belarusian Front. This was clearly stated in the previous command message. There is no doubt.

Moreover, the German troops on the northern route are now beaten to pieces and defeated. Between the Third Belarusian Front and East Prussia, there is no longer a heavy German army group that can resist the strategic offensive from Poland to East Prussia. The road seems to be clear.

Where is East Prussia? That is the place where the Germans will fight to the death even if they risk their lives, and they will definitely fight you to the death.

This means that if Vatutin wants to launch a strategic attack on East Prussia, the return of the leading division is indispensable. At least this is the truth. Everyone knows that the leading division is attacking the city. It is no exaggeration to see how powerful the offensive energy is in combat. Malashenko and his men are like "humanoid self-propelled gun crushers."

That is to say, under such circumstances, going south instead of going north made Malashenko feel that something was fishy and abnormal the most, especially since the top military officer in the south was Konev. This made Comrade Lao Ma feel that something was wrong even more.

how? After going through such a big circle, the leader finally went to work under Konev? Does this mean that Konev has won or is too cunning? Or are you talking about putting Vatugin together?

This is just something Malashenko thinks about for the time being. Comrade Ma wants to hear the views of the political commissar before making a decision. After all, the political commissar never disappoints in making suggestions and analyzing situations.

Comrade Comrade Political Commissar, holding the telegram in his hand and supporting his chin with a thoughtful expression on his face, spent about ten seconds thinking about this matter. He was noncommittal at first. After he had an initial idea that convinced him, After analysis, he spoke in a low voice to Malashenko.

"You've got it written all over your face what's going on in your heart. Coincidentally, my thoughts are basically the same as yours. You know what I'm referring to. This is a self-analytical judgment based on my past experience. Although I can’t say for certain that this is the case, I can only say that we both guessed it together, that’s all.”

The Comrade Political Commissar didn't even mention a single person's name, but he gave the answer that Malashenko wanted in the shortest possible way. You really have to say that the old is the hotter.

However, just "thinking of going together" will not work. Both the political commissar and Malashenko know this clearly.

The current situation is that the order message issued in the name of the 1st Belarusian Front Army Headquarters, which has temporary command of the Leader's Division, has been sent to the Leader's Division headquarters and handed over to the military chief Malashenko. was fully informed.

Then it seems that there is only one way left for Malashenko to take. No matter what Malashenko thinks or guesses, it has nothing to do with the outcome.

"Put aside the doubts in your mind for the time being, Comrade Division Commander. We are all soldiers, and obeying orders is our obligation and bounden duty. I think we have to leave Warsaw and head south as soon as possible. There is not much time left for us."

""

Malashenko, who was in a very unhappy mood, seemed to want to say something, but he didn't seem to know how to say it. After holding it in for a long time, he just said this.

"That's all? Just obey orders and that's it???"

Comrade Political Commissar knew that Malashenko was not willing to give in. No matter how outstanding Comrade Commander was, he was still a young man. It would be strange if someone of this age could be suppressed so easily.

"Let's go first, and then I will contact Commander Vatutin. Leave this matter to me. I have my own way, and I will convey the results to you as soon as possible."

No matter what Malashenko thought or was reluctant to do so, after overnight preparations, the leading division finally set off early the next morning after the friendly troops who came to change defenses arrived and headed south out of the city. The time spent in Warsaw was only a mere day.

There were citizens of Warsaw who came to see off the leader's departure. After all, Malashenko still brought hope to the people here, so there must be many people who are grateful for this.

But compared to those who came to see off the Red Army, there were obviously more people celebrating the liberation of Warsaw.

The streets and alleys were full of celebrating Warsaw citizens. On his way out of the city to the south, Malashenko even saw many members of the Warsaw Uprising Army. Most of them were carrying guns in one hand, holding women in the other, or carrying bottles full of wine. Wandering around in the streets, I looked at the Red Army with eyes that were not full of hatred, but definitely not very good either. Some of them were even gritting their teeth and secretly.

"I guess these Polish ghosts will definitely say that the victory in Warsaw was their fault and their own."

Malashenko, who was in a bad mood and did not sit in the tank but in the back seat of the Gas Jeep, spoke quietly while looking out the window at the street scene.

"Yes, it is indeed the case. There are already such rumors in the city. However, I have fully reported our actions and the entire process to Commander Vatutin. He should be aware of it by now."

After listening to the words of the political commissar next to him, Malashenko took a long breath and just closed his eyes slightly, leaned on the back seat, and no longer looked out the window.

"Then that's enough, let's go."
