Steel Soviet Union

He stood there and stared at the four-man crew in front of him. After seeing his little nephew Kirill standing intact next to Malashenko, he smiled as if he felt a big stone in his heart. Political Commissar Petrov, who fell to the ground instantly, immediately began to change his words to the main topic.

"Captain Malashenko, it's great to see you survived today's battle during the day. How was your record today? Can you tell me about it?"

As if infected by the seemingly relaxed atmosphere in Commissar Petrov's words, Malashenko, after thinking for a moment, blurted out his achievements during the day in the same calm tone.

"There were about eight German anti-tank guns and an 88mm anti-aircraft gun. In addition, there were four German machine gun teams, maybe five. Sorry, Comrade Political Commissar, at that time I was only focused on killing the enemy and directing the battle. I can’t quite remember the details.”

"Um"

After hearing what Malashenko said, Commissar Petrov, who nodded slightly, then raised his head and spoke to Malashenko.

"Comrade Malashenko, your outstanding combat achievements during the day today deserve recognition. With such results and the German tanks you destroyed in the last battle, I think you and your crew are our 20th Tank Division." Well-deserved No. 1 meritorious hero crew.”

Malashenko, who had not expected anything like the lavish praise from Commissar Petrov, was instantly flattered.

"Comrade Petrov, I am just doing my duties and obligations. It is the bounden duty of every Red Army soldier to defend the motherland against the German invaders. We dare not take credit for it, sir."

Although he had already expected Malashenko's answer to be like this, Commissar Petrov, who had always admired the young Malashenko, heard such a current answer from Malashenko. After that, he still couldn't help but reveal a smile of relief.

"Very good, Captain Malashenko. The purpose of my visit this time is to tell you that I will go to the headquarters of our 9th Mechanized Army to handle some matters later. When I received the notice, Rokossov General Ski specially told me that I hope you can follow me to the military headquarters. It seems that Comrade Rokossovsky also appreciates your achievements, Comrade Malashenko."

Rokossovsky wants to meet me? ? ? Damn it, what the hell is this? Did happiness come too suddenly?

After hearing the news from Commissar Petrov, Malashenko was deeply shocked and could not recover for a long time and was immersed in shock.

As for Rokossovsky's name, it can be said that everyone in the future generations who have a little understanding of the Soviet army in World War II knows it.

In the early days of the Great Patriotic War, Rokossovsky, who was just a major general, not only brought the first tactical victory to the Soviet army that had been defeated repeatedly in the early stages of the war, but also later In a series of large-scale battles and battles, he demonstrated his outstanding and outstanding command art and military talent.

In the end, with his outstanding military exploits and the medals hanging on his chest, he led his troops to the final victory. In just three years, he completed a rapid promotion from major general to marshal, and with the Red Army God of War Zhukov Marshal and Konev were called the troika of the Soviet Army during World War II.

After hearing the news from Commissar Petrov that Rokossovsky was going to meet him, Malashenko, who was temporarily blank in his heart, became extremely excited.

Speaking of which, Rokossovsky was the first historical celebrity that Malashenko met in a real sense after traveling to the era of the Patriotic War.

Being able to meet these famous generals across time and space who used their outstanding military exploits and commanding skills to leave their names in history throughout the history of World War II is a joy for any future military fan. Such a big deal, even Lin Jie, who has traveled to the Soviet-German battlefield and transformed into Malashenko, is no exception.

After a short period of inner agitation, he finally calmed down his inner turmoil and regained his composure with a long sigh. Regarding the suggestions put forward by the political commissar Petrov, Mara was willing to accept them but had no reason to refuse them. Shenke immediately responded in the affirmative.

"No problem, Comrade Political Commissar. It is an honor for me to be received by Comrade Rokossovsky. I am willing to go with you."

Malashenko's reply and performance were as expected, and Commissar Petrov, who turned around and passed by, immediately led the way.

"Well, that's good. Come with me, Captain Malashenko."

After a short walk, I followed Commissar Petrov's lead and got into a GAZ car that had been prepared for the division headquarters. I was used to sitting in this old World War II car that was simple, crowded and without any shock absorption equipment. In the eyes of Malashenko, those comfortable private cars of later generations really have the primitive flavor of being broken down by old cows.

Fortunately, this journey of driving on the grassland cross-country road against the backdrop of the last rays of the setting sun did not last long.

After an inertial maneuver with light braking, Malashenko arrived at the headquarters of the 9th Mechanized Army behind the 20th Tank Division's position and immediately followed the footsteps of political commissar Petrov and got out of the car.

As the headquarters of the 9th Mechanized Army under the Soviet Southwest Front, which has two tank divisions and one infantry division, this military-level field headquarters is also temporarily built with tents and wooden poles supporting telephone lines and communication antennas. From the perspective of Malashenko, who has already seen the appearance of the 20th Tank Division Field Command, there is not much difference. At best, it only covers a larger area and scale.

After stepping out of the car, he immediately clenched the folder in his hand and tidied up his neat military uniform. He subconsciously glanced at the horse beside him who was covered in gunpowder stains and military uniform. After thinking for a few seconds, Political Commissar Petrov immediately spoke to Rashenko.

"Come with me, Captain Malashenko. Commander Rokossovsky must have been waiting for you for a long time. I hope you can be ready."

Feeling uneasy in his heart, he had no time to reply to Commissar Petrov and followed his sudden steps forward.

When Political Commissar Petrov passed the ID check of the sentry on duty outside the military camp and reached out to lift the tent door curtain, the person who appeared in front of Malashenko immediately afterwards was the man whose name has gone down in history. General's face.
