Chapter 2763 Dynamic War

"Where is the fighting going? Report the situation, quickly!"

Malachenko rushed upstairs in a hurry, as if he was stepping on a hot wheel, pushed open the door and entered the command hall. The first thing he asked was the latest battle situation.

Kulbarov, who was discussing the situation with a group of staff members of the brigade, heard the words, and quickly explained the remaining work at hand and distributed it, and then immediately walked straight towards the division commander with the folder in his hand.

"Breakthroughs have been made in Blocks 1 and 2. The troops have broken through the final defense line of the blocks and are heading towards the South District Square, but the current situation is a bit tense."

"The Germans have simply withdrawn all the troops that have retreated from the main blocks and the troops in the blocks where the offensive routes are blocked. Now the enemy troops in each block are like an hourglass, withdrawing their defense zones with all their strength and converging to the South District Square. It seems that they are planning to unite as one, shrink their forces, reorganize their defense lines, and use the favorable terrain of the square area to fight a desperate battle."

""

While flipping through the report handed over by Kurbalov, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the detailed explanation from Kurbalov's mouth.

It took less than a minute to understand the latest situation. Malashenko already had an idea in his mind. The next action was not to issue any orders immediately, but to turn around and come to the war zone map hanging on the wall and start to stop and stare.

"What orders are the troops following now?"

After Malashenko had been silent for more than ten seconds, he suddenly asked this question. Kulbarov, who remembered every detail, answered without thinking.

"The orders are being carried out according to the original plan, without any changes. The troops are continuing to move forward along the established attack routes. The troops in Blocks 1 and 2 are trying to organize troops to attack the periphery of the square area after making a breakthrough."

"But the progress of the vanguard troops is not smooth, mainly because a large number of German defensive troops who have withdrawn are constantly causing trouble and unable to concentrate on attacking the defenders in the square area. In addition, because some of the German troops who retreated first have already withdrawn, the garrison forces in the square area have also been strengthened, and it is expected to be more difficult to capture and more time-consuming than planned."

"Stop fighting, call a halt! The original plan ends here, don't fight."

Faced with Malashenko's sudden order, Kulbarov, who was caught off guard, just looked stunned and blinked.

"Stop fighting? Comrade Division Commander, did I hear something wrong?"

It was normal for Kulbarov to be confused, mainly because Comrade Lao Ma had not finished speaking, and had left half of his words unsaid. After a little thought, the final order came out immediately.

"Stop fighting is not retreating, it is not fighting according to the original plan, and we must change our tactics immediately."

"Doesn't the German commander on the opposite side want to gather the defeated soldiers and reorganize the defense? Well, then I will kill his defeated soldiers in front of him, I want to see if he can watch it like this."

"Notify the main siege forces in Blocks 1 and 2 to immediately break away from contact with the enemy in the square area, and then move east and west to encircle the enemy block defense forces that are retreating in other blocks. It is imperative to block the enemy's evacuation channel, and the strength of the defenders in the square area cannot be further enhanced. Concentrate forces to annihilate all the remaining block defenders on the spot!"

Malachenko's idea is actually very simple, and it is not difficult to understand it when it is broken down.

After breaking through the main streets, the final target of the remaining operations in this stage is a small group of buildings standing in the north of the square area.

It includes administrative buildings and a small number of medieval buildings in the area. The map shows that there is also a large department store. It is said that it contains material reserves for the defenders of the square area to fight for a month, including food, drink, shells and bullets. It is the garrison in the south of Berlin. It has focused on building a warehouse for stockpiling war supplies since a few months ago.

If possible, Malashenko did have the intention of making a concerted effort to break through the defense line and quickly take the square area without giving the Germans a chance to breathe, announcing that the leader division has basically penetrated the defense of the southern part of the city.

But at present, it seems that the original plan is indeed difficult to achieve.

Some of the German troops who fled from the main streets have joined the defenders of the square area. The defense force of the entire square area has indeed been strengthened in terms of troop density alone. The bad thing is that the German garrisons withdrawn from other blocks are now scrambling to flee to the square area and trying to join forces.

In this case, the answer is very obvious.

The German army is not doing a separate, isolated reaction of being forced to flee after being defeated, but a unified retreat and contraction of defense order issued by the German commander of the entire southern part of Berlin to the troops in each frontier defense zone after overall planning.

This is an organized retreat and reorganization of defense. For this reason, it is obviously not feasible to execute the original plan of chasing the defeated soldiers and breaking through the defense line in one go.

The two main siege teams that are trying to attack the square area are not progressing smoothly. Even if he has not arrived at the scene, Malashenko can think of what the current situation there is like based on the war zone map.

The terrain and building distribution of the entire square area are just like most large squares in the world.

Most of the area is open and unobstructed. A small number of densely packed tall and solid buildings stand at the end of the square area like a bamboo forest, forming a small building complex that is small in scale but high in height and has strong blood and high attack.

In this situation, the Red Army plays the role of the attacker and launches a charge. The German garrison troops with excellent vision and wide shooting range can fully unleash as much firepower as they can and fire all weapons that can reach the range and have sufficient power.

Even though the leader division has extremely powerful heavy armored siege troops, without any firepower preparation for the square area building complex, it rashly crosses the open area and launches an attack on the enemy garrison troops with a complete defense system and stable position.

It may not be a complete defeat, but it is certain to pay a considerable book loss.

That open square without any obstruction is the German buffer zone entrenched in the building complex, and it is also a killing zone in the literal sense.

If you say that the Germans don't plan to do something in such a good defensive area, Malashenko thinks that the German commander on the other side has not degenerated to the level of a pig.

Plans cannot keep up with changes, and plans need to be adjusted at any time to cope with changes. This is a dynamic war.

Cutting off the Germans' unclosed lines of troops who are trying to shrink their defense is the answer given by Malashenko.
