Chapter 56 Angry Rokossovsky

As a rising star marshal in the Great Patriotic War, there is no doubt about the influence and improvement Rokossovsky can have on the entire Red Army and even the higher-level decision-makers in the future.

According to Malashenko's idea, as long as he can convince Rokossovsky and make him realize the powerful role that wireless communication stations for inter-vehicle communication can play in actual combat.

So according to the original historical trend, Rokossovsky, who is about to return to Moscow in mid-July to report on the frontline situation and receive new tasks, will definitely be able to make some changes to the terrible situation on the frontline.

By then, after returning to Moscow, Rokossovsky could meet with the General Staff of the Red Army and even his loving father Stalin, even if he only mentioned a few words about the lack of wireless communication radios for inter-vehicle communication in the frontline tank units and was dismissed by the Germans. The far-reaching impact of restraint and violent beating based on the butterfly effect seems immeasurable and extremely important to Malashenko, who is a later time traveler.

It was almost exactly as Malashenko himself expected.

After hearing from Malashenko that the frontline tank troops lacked radio stations for inter-vehicle communication, Rokossovsky quickly realized the seriousness of the situation. Through the simple and easy-to-understand story from Malashenko Rokossovsky, who almost instantly understood the profound meaning contained in it and showed a hint of the demeanor of a famous general, quickly raised his head after thinking for a moment.

"I already understand all the situations you mentioned, Captain Malashenko."

"Judging from what you reported and some reports I received here, the lack of wireless communication stations for inter-vehicle communication has indeed been proven in actual combat to be a key factor that seriously affects the combat effectiveness of our army's tank units."

After finishing his sentence, the conversation changed immediately, and Rokossovsky continued to speak with an expression that Malashenko thought was a little unspeakable.

"But after all, some things cannot be accomplished overnight. You need to understand this, Captain Malashenko."

"Although our Soviet has made many brilliant achievements in heavy industry, and the tanks manufactured by our Soviet workers are the best at the moment, it is also unavoidable that our Soviet has made great achievements in light industry and The electronic technology industry is still not as strong as the Germans.”

"Although from an objective point of view, it is not realistic to immediately equip all the tanks of our army with radio stations like the Germans did. After all, the production capacity of the electronic equipment factory in the rear area cannot keep up. But if there is a chance, I will still I will report your opinions and suggestions, Captain Malashenko, I think this will be a very useful reform plan for our Red Army.”

Hearing that Rokossovsky in front of him had made such a promise to himself, Malashenko, who knew that his goal had almost been achieved at this point, immediately turned towards Rokossovsky in front of him. Fsky saluted again.

"Thank you, Comrade Commander. If the grassroots tank troops of our army once popularize wireless communication stations for inter-vehicle communication, and then rely on the excellent performance of T34 and KV tanks in the hands of our Red Army tank troops, I think those who drive thin-skinned tanks will The Germans will definitely not be our opponents!”

From the righteous words and solemn expression of Malashenko's salute, I could faintly detect the perseverance and strength in it. From the first time I saw Malashenko, I have become more and more appreciative of this fighting spirit. High-spirited young captain.

Just as Rokossovsky, who was smiling and quite satisfied with everything the young Malashenko said and did, was about to say something again, a figure that surprised everyone present appeared. At this moment, he suddenly opened the door curtain and broke into the military tent.

"Reporting to Comrade Commander, General Korntrushev was killed in action, and our division is about to be completely wiped out!"

Rokossovsky, who was interrupted by the sudden figure and the loud report and was unable to speak, immediately frowned, and then turned his head and looked at what appeared in front of him. He was a Soviet colonel who was covered in blood and dust and looked extremely embarrassed.

"Look at how miserable you are, Colonel! You are a senior commander of the Soviet Red Army, not one of those country gentry and bandits! Before reporting the heavy losses of your division, don't you think you should first tell me yourself? Tell me your home?"

Faced with Rokossovsky's loud scolding and questioning, the colonel, who was not under Rokossovsky's command but had a dusty face and bloody bandages on his hands, immediately returned to the battlefield in exhaustion. Open your mouth and report.

"Comrade Commander, I am Colonel Krug Budasov, the division commander of the 24th Tank Division of the 22nd Mechanized Army. The commander of our 22nd Mechanized Army, General Korntrushev, has died, and the German attack But it is still extremely violent. I am here to seek your help and "

"Shut up!"

Facing the colonel and division commander who was crying miserably in front of him, Rokossovsky, who showed almost no high-spirited fighting spirit, immediately yelled at him.

"Don't talk to me about the annihilation of your 22nd Mechanized Army! I know General Koentrushev has been killed, but General Damruch has taken over the command! I just talked to him on the phone not long ago. The main force of your 22nd Mechanized Army is still fighting the German invaders!"

"It's shameful! Go back and find your soldiers, they need your leadership and help. Remember, you are a soldier, a senior commander of the Red Army who has sworn an oath under the party flag, and you must fulfill your duties and obligations to the end!"

Facing Rokossovsky's loud rebuke with spit flying and red ears, the colonel who originally planned to come to ask if there was a follow-up retreat plan dared not say any more nonsense. After a hasty salute, he quickly turned around and drove back in the direction he came from.

After watching the incompetent friendly division commander leave in anger, Rokossovsky, who was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and in a terrible state of mind, no longer had the time or mood to discuss tactics with Malashenko. He then lightly pinched his eyebrows with his right hand, closed his eyes slightly, and gently waved his hand in the direction of the military entrance.
