Steel Soviet Union

After the final chat ended and Zhukov said goodbye, Malashenko and Kotin walked side by side back to their own fleet parked at the test site, or the red Stalingrad deployment position, and prepared to board the car.

"What are you going to do next? Come back with me first or withdraw directly?"

When Kogin heard this, he rolled his eyes at Malashenko, thinking that this question was a bit idiotic, but Malashenko did seem to be asking the question sincerely.

"Of course I'll go back to your place first."

"All my people and things are there. I didn't bring the big gift you gave me. Even my suitcase is there. Do you plan to let me go back empty-handed?"

Seeing this, Malashenko smiled and then waved his hand to tell him not to take it seriously.

"It's just a joke. I know you have to go back to my place to take someone to get something. Well, let's get in the car first. Let's talk on the way and don't waste time."

"Oh, by the way, do you still plan to ride on that thing when you go back? After experiencing it, you don't want to relive it again, right?"

Looking at Malashenko, who raised his arms and pointed his thumbs up at the BMP43 infantry tank behind him, Kogin answered without thinking.

"I won't sit anymore. I'm getting older and my waist is a little weak. I'm no younger than you guys. Let me, an old guy, ride in a car. Are you too old to ride in a chariot?"

Kogin deliberately "relyed on his old age" to create problems for Malashenko, but how could Malashenko, who had been with Kogin for so long, be helpless about this?

"I'm different from you. I sit in an armored iron box and ride back and forth every day. After a long time, my back hurts. I have to sit in the same car with you, so you have to forgive me."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the crooked old man Ke Jing smiled mysteriously, even a little evilly, and then quietly put his head in front of Malashenko's ear and spoke in a low voice.

"My waist is broken now, will I still be able to bear it in the future? You have two now, and you can't say for sure in the future~"

"Two? What two?"

"Wait, you mean"

""

Malashenko, who finally realized what the crooked old Kogin was referring to, suddenly had a dark look on his face. He casually found a word to deal with, but he didn't expect that this old gangster was still full of energy! You're a shameless bully who dares to bully me because his military rank is lower than his, so you don't dare to talk back, right?

"You can eat nonsense, but you don't want to talk nonsense! Do you know that!?"

If Ke Jing traveled back in time in the 21st century and was still chatting online at this time, then Ke Jing would probably type "Urgent" at this time, and he might have to add "Dian" or "Dian within the code" when he was done. "To be honest, if this were to happen, I would probably make Comrade Ma so angry that he would lose his temper on the spot.

It's just that Ke Jing's next words are also quite lethal.

"Am I talking nonsense? Then I hope so. After all, in the future, it will not increase if the number of guarantees is maintained at two. You should pay more attention to your health, Comrade Malashenko. The great cause of the motherland will still need you in the future. This is You know how kindly your elders, old comrades, and old superiors care about you, and the organization cares about you?"

"Fuck me"

Fortunately, Malashenko, who felt his eyes darken, didn't have high blood pressure. If he had high blood pressure, he would have been thrown down here on the spot. This crooked old man was really going to piss him off to death today.

"Okay, okay, I know you have something to say, maybe a lot. Let's get in the car and talk slowly, comrades are still waiting."

""

Anyway, in the end, Kogin was half-pushed and half-pushed into the car. The convoy responsible for escorting Malashenko and Kogin once again escorted the two of them on their way back.

He wanted to argue with Kogin on the topic just now and regain some ground, but after thinking about it for a while, Malashenko didn't know where to start, so he could only give up the plan. , and then started to do something else: looking through the document in his hand that Zhukov had just received and given to him personally.

There should be written on it all the important matters about calling for artillery support, which is the answer Malashenko can't wait to know.

""

We were sitting in the back seat together but couldn't hear Malashenko say a word. Kogin, who was still looking at the scenery outside the car window, thought Malashenko was asleep. When he turned around, he realized that Malashenko was looking through his hands. The "big treasure" in the book, the things recorded on it are also what Ke Jing is interested in.

"What's written on it? Let me see it too."

""

He glared at Kojin out of the corner of his eye, thinking it was revenge, but he didn't expect that Kojin just smiled and showed an expression of "let's forget about it", hoping that Malashenko could "let bygones be bygones." .

What else can Comrade Lao Ma say?

He could only follow Ke Jing's wishes and move the unfolded folder to the right without saying a word, letting Ke Jing take a look and satisfy his curiosity. After all, there is really no need to consider issues such as "leaking secrets" and "insufficient level" for Ke Jing. Comrade Kotin's infinite loyalty to the motherland throughout his life has been proven by history, even in this timeline.

There are indeed many key contents recorded in the document, but the part in the middle that Malashenko is most concerned about and cares about the most is still there.

To put it simply, to be targeted by the Red Stalingrad as an artillery target, at least a large number of enemy troops must be gathered, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and cannot be bypassed or the bypass will cause a large impact, and conventional firepower cannot Effective against destroyed fixed defense targets and large buildings.

This is the starting line for the bombardment of the Red Stalingrad, which means that if the target you think is troublesome does not reach this level, then you are better off not applying for artillery support, and it will not be given to you if you apply. Just scream, even if your throat is broken, comrades on the red Stalingrad will not come to help you.

Don't ask why, just ask that there aren't that many shells.

If the Red Stalingrad is really going to take out a target as small as a small building, is there any end to it? How many similar targets are there in the entire city of Berlin? So can all the comrades follow our example and use the radio to wave the red Stalingrad to help?

Not to mention that there are not enough cannon shells, but there are enough cannon shell tubes. The maximum lifespan of the cannon tubes cannot even reach 300 rounds. Anyway, there are definitely more such buildings in Berlin, the capital of Germany, than 300.

Therefore, the starting line for the bombardment drawn by Zhukov is actually quite reasonable. It is basically consistent with Malashenko’s initial expectation. After it is realized and implemented in actual combat, it will probably be targets such as high-rise buildings with seven or eight floors above and large department stores. , and there must be a large number of German sticks stationed inside to fight to the death.

Applications submitted by lower-level troops must first be approved by the leading division headquarters before they can be submitted to the front army headquarters. Only Zhukov's personal approval can lead to artillery bombardment.

Don't think that this is making a fuss and asking for trouble. You need to know that in addition to many targets that can be hit in Berlin, there are also some targets that cannot be hit. As the person who applied for the Red Stalingrad, Zhukov has the obligation to take responsibility for this and ensure that targets that cannot be hit are not taken away by the 800 cannon. This is what Zhukov wants to ensure.

Of course, Malashenko also understands this, so he was not surprised when he saw this content in the document.

What really surprised Malashenko was the next paragraph that followed "non-artillery targets".
