Steel Soviet Union

He just brought people there, took advantage of the bloody battle between the Germans and the Bolsheviks to steal some supplies that were very necessary for him, and left without any delay.

Today, Anton has more than 800 men who have experience in at least two battles or robberies. His bandit den is the strongest in the area within a radius of 100 kilometers.

Although it was carefully planned and prepared in advance, the last successful experience of robbing a German armored train still made Anton feel a little satisfied.

Look, I'm so strong that I can even take down a German armored train! Moreover, it doesn’t take much effort and the victory is relatively easy. This is about strength rather than conspiracy.

After having such an idea, although Anton was not arrogant at the moment, he did have a sense of victory in his heart.

The Germans and the Bolsheviks were now fighting fiercely and evenly matched. With the tactics planned in advance, he rushed over unexpectedly and caught the group by surprise. He grabbed things with a clear goal and left without wasting any time and was not reluctant to fight.

Anton couldn't think of any reason for his failure. Winning seemed to him as easy as a snap of his fingers.

As he thought about it, Anton couldn't help but reveal a grin on his face. It was a grin filled with confidence and ambition for victory.

But what this rather rampant bandit leader didn't know was that just as he was about to start taking action and was already on the road, a fast mechanized force with the title of the Red Army's most elite tank division, which frightened German soldiers, was also about to start. Heading straight towards the destination in the same direction as he expected.

Malashenko, who has been commanding the troops for a long time, seems a little impatient now. He lifts his watch from time to time to see how much time has passed. Vatutin, who has been very kind to him, really makes Malashenko worried. Incessantly.

"Damn it, you must hold on for me! You must never die in that stupid place again, Vatugin!"

If it were someone else who had nothing to do with Malashenko, then Comrade Ma would probably not rush over to save people as urgently as he is now.

Even if the time traveler can know some things that are about to happen in the future, Malashenko is not obliged to save everyone. No one stipulates that the time traveler must be the savior and the Virgin.

The reason why Malashenko was so concerned about Vatutin and wanted to save him was because of his personal relationship and friendship with Vatutin.

In this timeline of a different world where things are different and people are different, the first person who gave Malashenko a huge support and help and can be called Bole was Zhukov, and the second person who did his part was Vatu Comrade Jing.

Vatutin may not have given Malashenko too many military rank promotions and honors, far less than what Zhukov gave to Malashenko. However, the maximum battlefield autonomy given to Malashenko by Vatutin and the supply of material and logistical support made Malashenko, who did not like being tied down, feel great freedom on the battlefield.

In Malashenko's own words, fighting under Vatutin is just a comfort.

Not only are there no annoying military orders that cross the lines and point fingers at random, but there have never been any problems with the supply of logistical supplies for his troops.

When the fighting was at its fiercest and there was no time to bury the pot to make rice, Vatutin could even send someone to deliver the hot rice to Malashenko. After the battle, he could directly open the meal and start eating. It was so satisfying. How cool it is.

Sometimes the relationship between men is as simple as that. As long as they feel that they have compatible personalities and can pee in the same pot, then it's easy to talk about anything and win over each other.

There is no doubt that Malashenko feels this way about Vatutin, his wise and brave boss, and has already begun planning how to save Vatutin's life. Just put your ideas and plans into practice.

Looking at Malashenko's anxious and thoughtful expression, Iushkin, who still doesn't know what he is going to do on this trip, couldn't help but be curious and ask questions.

"Speaking of which, what on earth are we going to do this time? We left in such a hurry, and even put on this crispy T43. I really don't feel safe in this car at all. If we run into a large group of German armored units, we will be attacked at any time. It could kill us."

Iushkin, who is accustomed to driving heavy tanks, is no longer the T34 commander and gunner he once was. His love for heavy tanks with strong armor and powerful guns is like blood flowing in every corner of his body and is difficult to change.

The T43 medium tank, which was always easily blasted into the sky by the Germans in previous battles, is indeed difficult to bring Iushkin much sense of security. After all, the protective capabilities of this thing are even the 75mm long of the Black Panther. There is no direct and complete immunity.

"Okay, stop complaining. The first priority for this mission is to rush for time and speed. The slow IS4 will be out of business by the time it arrives on the battlefield. The T43 still has some good armor protection. If time If you come closer and drive the reconnaissance company's tanks, your expression will probably be even more ugly now."

""

Malashenko's truthful words stunned Iushkin, who was also lying outside the turret, speechless, but Comrade Ma, who still had more to say, obviously did not intend to shut up.

"This time we went not to kill many Germans or to eliminate a certain German army. We were doing escort work this time. Our first task was to ensure the safety of Front Army Commander Vatutin. We may encounter more than just Germans on the battlefield. Man, there will be other armed forces appearing, such as those Ukrainian bandits who have done all the bad things.”

"In short, be prepared. We are not yet sure what kind of enemy we will face. Now anything can happen."

""

Iushkin, who listened to Malashenko's speech with his mouth half open, felt a little dazed. He was thinking about what to say, but before he could speak, there was a sudden transmission on Malashenko's radio. An unexpected sound came.

"Comrade Division Commander, we have encountered friendly forces. A group of infantry is escorting prisoners of war in the opposite direction from where we came from, and is now walking in front of us."

The person who reported the situation to Malashenko was the reconnaissance vehicle at the front of the queue, and he encountered a group of corpsmen halfway. This situation was indeed something Malashenko did not expect.

Coincidentally, Malashenko happened to want to ask about something, and this group of infantry came at a good time.
