Steel Soviet Union

In Malashenko's view, he has achieved his goal by allowing the conflict that almost led to a full-scale martial arts fight to subside temporarily and be forgotten by everyone. As for the blame for the blame that he took the initiative to shoulder, that's all. Just let him be.

Malashenko does not think that this trivial matter can have any actual impact on him, especially when people who can see the situation clearly know the truth.

Seeing that he had successfully missed the focus of the topic, Malashenko, who had formed an invisible tacit understanding with Commissar Petrov, immediately glanced to his left.

Political Commissar Petrov, who understood instantly, knew that now was the time to say something. After thinking for a moment and quickly organizing his words, he blurted out to the audience.

"Let the unpleasantness just now pass, and don't let similar situations happen again in the future."

"We all understand that every comrade-in-arms and commander and comrade around us has experienced a whole day of brutal fighting. It is normal to have some temper at this time. But what I want to emphasize is that please don't let your anger out. Don't use words to slander each other with your comrades. If such things are known to the Germans, they will be so happy that they can't sleep. "

The same board was used to beat both of them to fifty boards each. This was the final and muddy solution given by Political Commissar Petrov.

With Malashenko taking the initiative and leading by example, the words of Political Commissar Petrov immediately made Lavrinenko and Korelyuch feel ashamed and couldn't hold their heads up.

However, for the elders, it is still a bit embarrassing to apologize to each other in front of so many comrades and colleagues, so it is better to wait until the meeting is over and find a place where no one is around to talk about it.

After passing on the unpleasantness just now, Political Commissar Petrov changed the subject and immediately brought the focus of the topic back to the topic.

"As for tomorrow's combat deployment, I will share some personal opinions here. Maybe they are not all correct. You can discuss with each other and point out my mistakes."

"As Commander Malashenko said just now, our current military strength still has a big gap even after the two forces are combined into one, especially for the arduous task of defending the entire train station. It is also not enough to support a strong counterattack."

"We don't have enough troops to risk launching a counterattack now. If we fail, we may not even be able to hold on to a corner of the train station. The Germans are superior to us in terms of military strength and technical equipment. Therefore, I personally favor Cherchenkov. The division commander’s main tactical idea is defense. If the Germans are repelled by us, we can also consider some limited counterattacks, but the premise is that we must rely on the defensive layout to carry out subsequent combat plans.”

As soon as Political Commissar Petrov said this, it meant that the "main defense faction" headed by Division Commander Cherchenkov had another powerful general. This made him yell the most fiercely just now, threatening to attack everyone in the station tomorrow. Lavrinenko, who was evenly pushed by the Germans, looked a little embarrassed.

After finishing his speech, Political Commissar Petrov then handed over the right to speak to Division Commander Cherchenkov beside him. This infantry division commander with Siberian Jewish origin was actually more meticulous than he seemed. In terms of tactical logic, His thinking ability is no less than that of Political Commissar Petrov.

"My point of view remains the same as when I spoke for the first time. I think our main battle plan tomorrow should be to stick to the current actual control area and use some clever tactics and methods to make the Germans attack in front of their positions. At the same time, it exposed flaws, and then waited for opportunities to launch counterattacks to try to regain more lost ground.”

"By arranging tactics like this, the safety factor will be much better than launching a direct counterattack tomorrow, and it can also minimize our own casualties and inflict heavy damage on the enemy. Even in the worst situation, we can concentrate all our limited defense forces on The key points of defense will not be scattered and wasted.”

"If that tactic is most likely to achieve the stated goal of holding the train station, then I think that's the best way to do it."

With the two big bosses, Political Commissar Petrov and Commander Cherchenkov, speaking first, even though Malashenko, who presided over the meeting and sat at the top of the table, had not made it clear which side he supported, many people present at the meeting There are obviously more "defense factions" than "war factions" among the crowd, and this growing momentum is still continuing.

"The analysis makes sense. Maybe we should do this tomorrow."

"But those Germans will also have support, maybe more aircraft and artillery, and those things will be difficult for us to deal with."

"But we don't have any good solutions now. The enemy still has the initiative."

Malashenko did not forbid recalling the private, whispered discussions that took place.

The reason for doing this is that Malashenko feels that a freer venue can help diversify collective wisdom and innovative thinking. There is no big connection between strict and rigid pre-war meetings and brainstorming.

Keeping the analysis of the scene and the audience in mind, Malashenko turned his head and whispered a few words to Lavrinenko, then turned his head sideways and continued the exchange with the political commissar Petrov on the other side. An opinion.

Political Commissar Petrov, who understood what Malashenko meant, exchanged a few words in a low voice with Commander Cherchenkov beside him, and the final result of this combat meeting was determined.

By the time Malashenko began to give the final word, everyone at the scene and in the audience had basically guessed what the final result would be, and were just waiting for Malashenko's final words of proof.

"Our operational plan and deployment tomorrow is still focused on defense, comrades. The first task is to ensure that the current actual control is not taken away by those Germans, and then we must try to find the weakness of those Germans in the defensive operations in front of the position. points and breakthroughs, followed by a powerful counterattack to reverse the situation in one fell swoop.”

Seeing that some of the people in the audience were still looking like bored gourds. They didn't understand the specific meaning of what he said and were still looking at him with wide eyes. Malashenko felt that it was necessary to say something more to boost morale. Malashenko then continued to speak. a firm voice.

"If I were to find an example or way to describe the combat operations we are about to launch, then I personally feel that the Battle of Moscow last year may be somewhat similar to the tactics we will implement now."

"I think everyone knows what to do, comrades, victory will undoubtedly belong to us! It belongs to the great Stalingrad!"
