Steel Soviet Union

Now that we have no team, we can't go back home, and we are even more unwilling to lay down our weapons and surrender to the Germans.

Who would want to be a dog for the invaders who invaded their own country unless they had to? Even if you don't have much education and don't understand the truth, this basic common sense of life can still be clearly understood by most people.

If you can’t do this, and you don’t want to do it, then what should you do?

You can't just wander around enemy-occupied areas with a gun like a lone wolf, right? In order to survive, people must have a full stomach, a job to do, and an organization to support them. The reality of living in enemy-occupied areas is so real.

For this category of forgotten Red Army soldiers, there are two practical options.

First, walk around enemy-occupied areas, risk being reported by pro-German Ukrainian locals to inquire about the whereabouts of the guerrillas, join the guerrillas, and continue to fight against the enemy with like-minded comrades who have been separated and forgotten.

It is true that many Red Army soldiers did this in the beginning, but as mentioned above, the biggest problem with this is that you don't know whether the person you are asking for directions is a German bastard.

Maybe as soon as you asked him about it, thanked him and left, this guy would run to complain to the Germans and collect the reward. Then you just wait for the SS pursuit troops leading the German shepherds to hunt you down. No matter how hard you run away, you will be caught up by the SS bastards who are guiding you with their dog noses. This happened after the Red Army withdrew. It happened almost every day for the first year.

Similar things happened a lot. The remaining "Waiting Party" singles were forgotten by the Red Army soldiers, so they naturally retreated and no longer dared to ask about the whereabouts of the guerrillas, nor did they dare to show up in front of others at will. Talk to strangers. He can only use his own abilities and the guy in his hand to sleep in the open air and live a wild life of eating raw hair and drinking blood to avoid being noticed.

But it doesn’t matter if you do this for a long time. You will get sick, lonely, and long to talk to people. If the time goes by, you may even have thoughts of being world-weary and ending this life.

Not all Red Army soldiers are tough men who survive in the wild like Mr. Bei. They can persist in the life of eating, sleeping, and drinking blood for a short time, but in the long run, it is better to find a backer.

At this time, the smart bosses of the local Ukrainian bandits stood up and even often sent people to see if there were any lone Red Army soldiers in the wild when they came back from hunting and getting meat.

These smart bandit leaders adopted a "recruitment" strategy towards the lone Red Army: as long as you are willing to follow us, we don't ask about the past, and we don't care what you have done before, whatever you are.

When you come here, you get three meals a day, and every once in a while you can touch a German's butt, attack an outpost, or rob a German transport convoy. You can also blow up the railway and grab the German freight train. This is the most exciting and the most popular! The oil and water are so fat!

Don't doubt your equipment strength, we have all kinds of light and heavy weapons here.

Anti-tank guns, heavy machine guns, and mortars are all available. There are no junk products produced by local workshops. They are just standard Soviet and German regular army equipment. You can pick whatever you like! As long as the German guy doesn't have a tank turret on his train, it doesn't matter even if he has a machine gun fire point with steel plates on the train. A few rounds of anti-tank guns will kill him!

Then you can choose whatever you want in the train! You can take as much as you can, as long as you have the ability to take it away, maybe you can even catch a beautiful German girl for everyone to take turns to have fun with, it doesn't matter, everything is possible! People always have to be optimistic and look forward.

To be honest, after a long period of living in the open air, eating and drinking, and experiencing the ultimate loneliness and helplessness. Suddenly faced with such attractive conditions and a good life, I am afraid that the vast majority of the forgotten Red Army soldiers will choose to follow these Ukrainian bandits who extend an olive branch to them.

After all, people's yearning for a better life comes from instinct, and for a group of forgotten Red Army soldiers, living according to their true wishes as much as possible is more important than oaths and loyalty. Otherwise, it may be You will die tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it is so real.

Recruiting these forgotten Red Army soldiers to join the team is indeed effective. These surviving veterans who have received formal military training and have been on the battlefield have excellent skills and qualities. Compared with the ordinary civilians and hooligans in the bandit army, they are not at the same level. Go up, the combat power is awesome, nothing to say.

Gradually, the argument that whoever has more Red Army veterans under his command has greater power and strength began to spread among the Ukrainian bandits. Several prominent bandit leaders actually started to compete with each other to see who had the most veterans, using this as a key factor in ranking seniority and competing for strength.

Of course, the leaders of the Ukrainian bandit army worked tirelessly to recruit these forgotten Red Army soldiers, naturally not just to brag and do nothing.

Gradually starting in 1941, the number increased in 42, reaching its peak in 1943 when the German army began to decline. Now in 44, it has reached a new high, causing even more headaches for the Germans who were already beaten by the Red Army.

What we are talking about here is the number of times these Ukrainian bandits attacked German logistics convoys and freight trains, not anything else.

For the battered German army, the headache is not only to face the harassment of guerrillas and Ukrainian bandits, but more importantly, the number and equipment of these small groups of scurrying enemies are also increasing. powerful.

Just earlier, in the winter of early 1944, the German army thought that adding two dismantled No. 4 turrets to the military train would be foolproof.

This freight train contained high-calorie finished military rations, medicines, and a batch of thickened winter military uniforms that were extremely important to the frontline German troops, as well as a batch of thickened winter military uniforms for replacement. All of them were life-saving things that the frontline German troops needed most.

However, the senior German army officials who thought that they could sit back and relax by installing two No. 4 turrets and half a company of escorting soldiers were once again ruthlessly slapped in the face by reality. The thought was too beautiful.

The largest group of bandits in the Cherkasy area, codenamed "Jackals" by the Germans, ambushed the military column.

They planted explosives in advance to blow up the railway, and launched a sudden attack when the military train was forced to stop to avoid derailment and the National Defense Forces soldiers escorting the train got off the train to check the situation and prepare to report to the superiors.

The firepower of these gangsters is simply outrageous and beyond imagination! Half a company of the entire military train escorted the National Defense Forces. With the help of the military train's firepower and bunkers, they only lasted less than fifteen minutes before being slaughtered.

The German troops who came to investigate afterwards made a shocking discovery. The situation at the scene showed that the Ukrainian bandits had been preparing for at least a week in this desolate and inaccessible ambush site. This was a time when they had "stepped on the plate" in advance. "A premeditated ambush.

Due to the heavy snowfall in recent days, the German patrol team, which had not visited this place often, had not been here for almost half a month and had not carried out any patrols. The annoying situation of neglect of precautions gave the Ukrainian bandit troops an opportunity to take advantage of.

The bandits dismantled the two PAK38 50mm anti-tank guns that had been prepared for a long time into parts and transported them in batches. Under the harsh soil working environment with a layer of frozen soil more than three meters thick, they excavated a complete Anti-tank gun bunker. Then, white camouflage cloth was used to conceal the reassembled anti-tank gun. It would be difficult to detect it without looking closely.

Everything looked so regular and impeccable, as if the people who ambushed the German army were a group of Red Army troops and not Ukrainian bandits.

In the end, these two PAK 38s, which attacked covertly and fired first, eliminated the two No. 4 turrets on the military column that had been compromised before they had time to react.

The vertical armor on the Germans' own tanks was simply weak against their own anti-tank guns. Especially against the Type 40 tungsten-core armor-piercing projectile that can only ricochet, ricochet, and ricochet against the T34. The vertical armor of the No. 4 turret is so easy to explode that it explodes. This is obviously ironic.
