General Ostruppen
January 22nd, 1946
NKVD HQ, 20 kilo east of Rostov.
This is General Vicort
The 3rd Army group is being evacuated to Stalingrad as we speak, we have not yet received the "special forces" you have told me about just yet. I hope that these soldiers are actually the answer against the Fascist and can hold them off till the relief troops come for them. in this god forsaken town I will leave several At guns to them and a Penal group at there disposal. I look forward to seeing the defense of the city comrade Triscpoy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the outskirts of the town, AT guns and machine gunfire can be heard as the rumbling of the German tanks and motorized units return fire. Hundreds of Soviet soldiers march on to the exit of the town where a train and several other transportations greets them with hope. Several tanks slowly make there way out, Tank commanders start yelling and cursing the troops to get there asses moving. several hundred Penal troops stationed themselves at the entrance of the town, setting up explosives and rigging buildings with booby traps. While being watched by NKVD officers, to make sure none of them try escaping or surrendoring to the enemy
A late fourty year old man who is also part of the Penal Battalion, looks around with fear in his eyes. Scanning around to find any areas where he can possible have a chance to escape. He looks upon two other sorry souls who were just finished setting a mine and gets there attention with a gesture, "The Germans are going to be here any minute now comrade, Its best if we find a way to escape." The two Penal soldiers who were younger then the old man looked at him as if he was crazy. "Are you an idiot!! If you try to escape you'll be shot, or worse." The
The geezer looks at them with a stern look, "Its better to surrendor then to succumb to more suffering under this god forsaken country." As he say's that, the two look up and with shock shown on there face they immediatly go back to digging more holes. The man turns around to see a officer tower over him, a NKVD Colonel. The soldier just takes a deep breath and straightens himself as he stands up. The officer seemed to be smirking at him which ticked him off. If he could he would grab his shovel and dig this officer a grave. The officer replys, "If I had the chance to kill you scum, I would but today is both of our lucky day." The soldier looks at him with a confused face, "what do you mean by that?" He asked
The officer just points his finger to several trucks that arrive. "High command and Staling have given us the essentials to defend the town till the relief troops arrive. You should count yourselves lucky." He marches off to greet the Comrades that arrive, leaving the scum to continue digging holes for more mines.The officer stands at attention and awaits to see the soldiers that have been said to be the Hero's of Russia.

I am an Eternal Spring flowing under dirt.
The T-34/85 sat silently on the side of the road, its crew seated on/inside it. Ivan was sitting within the turret of the beast on top of one of the ammo containers located at the back of the turret, half of him was outside of the tank through the hatch. Boris, the driver, could be found in his driver's seat with a cap over his face, asleep. The gunner and Loader, Nikolai and Alexei, were on the back of the tank, having a card game. And the machine gunner, Petrevski, was in the snow on a blanket, writing in his journal. "Hey, Alexei, want to hear a joke?" Alexei looks up from his deck and pauses. "Sure, go ahead." Nikolai snickers as he thinks of the joke. "So a Priest, a Rabbi, and an Atheist wa-" A voice cuts him off. "Heresy." Nikolai goes silent and turns to Ivan who is now turned towards them. "Nikolai, you know what I think about heresy." The stern look on Ivan's face said everything. "Yes sir, I apologize." Nikolai goes back to playing his game, Alexei watches with a hint of timidness all the while.
Ivan looks towards the road directly in front of the tank and looks down the road both ways as the sound of many engines makes itself present, and soon enough, a convoy of supply trucks starts down the road. "Alright, ROUND IT UP, WE'RE MOVING OUT!" Ivan bellows, the tank crew responds immediately and hop back into the tank once Ivan had taken his spot inside the turret, allowing the crew to get in without trouble. Ivan gives Boris a kick on his shoulder and he sputters to life, the tank falls in-line at the end of the convoy. After an hour or so, the tank begins to approach Rostov. "Sir." Ivan looks at the gunner. "Yes Nikolai?" Ivan continues to look out the spaces just below the hatch. "Why don't you give the men a little 'Oomph'?" Ivan's gaze shifts over to the gunner. "How so?" Nikolai smiles and points upwards. "Well, generals in the past would position themselves somewhere high, like on a horse, picture the tank as your horse." Ivan shakes his head. "Nikolai, there are people known as snipers who-" Ivan is cut off. "Sir, if I may, the town is still relatively secure, it's very safe." Ivan stares at Nikolai for a good minute or two before a smile spreads across his face.
"Well, I guess it shouldn't be too bad to bring some morale to the troops." Nikolai smiles and nods as Ivan opens the hatch and begins to climb out. Once out, Ivan leans back down into the tank one more time. "Boris, keep 'er steady and make sure you let me know about any sharp turns." Boris raises his hand to show he understood what Ivan had said. Ivan carefully stands, troops passing by waved at him and a couple of tanks that joined in behind their '85 begin to sprout a crew member or two that sat on the turret of their tanks with Ivan in the lead. A couple of minutes later and they had finally arrived at Rostov and immediately spots an NKVD Colonel pacing away from the men setting mines and making his way towards the convoy. "Boris! Halt!" Ivan orders into the hatch before looking back at the Colonel, he hops off the tank and walks up towards the man. "Comrade, it is pleasant to see a high-ranking person such as yourself, I am Ivan, I command the T-34 you see over there." Ivan gestures towards the steel monster, Nikolai's head pokes out of the hatch with an uncertain look on his face. "I look forward to helping you watch after the city, Colonel." Ivan gives the man a hearty look that shows his enthusiasm.

The colonel returns with a handshake. "Yes comrade, many heroes like you are needed to help us fight back the Germans. But for now all we can do is buy our people time for the defenses in Stalingrad." The colonel looks at the T-34 and with a nod, he could tell that it went through hell and back. He chuckled alittle. "Well comrade I must greet your other friend who will help us in this battle, go ahead and station your tank in that building over there." He points to what seemed to be a meat shop or what's left of it. There was a gaping hole that was enough to fit a tank, but the building seemed unstable from the outside. It also pointed to the entrance, about 200 meters away.
The colonel then past by the tanker with a pat on the back and goes off to greet the other soldiers.

Abram was sitting inside one of the many trucks filled with upcoming soldiers, or meatbags they could rather be called, since that's what they'd soon be after sent into the line of fire. "Poor bastards, but I'm not planning to go and put myself in direct line of fire" No, Abram was planning to stick to the trenches or thick shrubbery,if he could find some , sure, his colonel might not like it, but he's not going to run out there gun's blazing at least.
He jumped out of the truck, as soon as he turned around the corner of the vehicle, he saw his upcoming leader and general. "Hm, as I expected, an old fart who's most likely just going give us a little pat on the back, and then throw us to our deaths on the field" He stopped and stood in line with the rest of his fellow soldiers, looking stern and ready at the Colonel, "Let's try to make a good first impression at least"

Some of the soldiers around Abram give out some small laughs and smiles, as soon as the colonel got nearer everyone got into attention. The colonel looked at each and every one of them, inspecting them very carefully and suddenly makes a complete stop in front of Abram. "So you must be Corporal Abram.... I've your report and I must say I am very impressed. Your confirmed kills is very unbelievable, especially for someone who is still a corporal." He smiles for few seconds and goes back to his stern face.
He points to the direction of the the bridge entrance and starts shouting, "The fascist pigs are drawing nearer and our brothers and sisters have made the ultimate sacrifice to buy our great motherland time! That shall not go in vain, you men have been drafted into this group because of your skills, experience, and having survived this long." He takes a pause and folds his arms together. "We unfortunately don't of the capability to defend this town for much long not even a full day, but we have engineers further up in the town preparing more traps for the enemy. It should give us the element of surprise and more trouble for the enemy to dig up. You men will hold off the enemy until I give the signal of retreating to the next defensive position. If you are wondering if we will evacuate the town, do not fret. General Vicort will be sending in a small armored company to give us time to escape which won't come till later today. Until then we will hold every inch of ground and will not retreat until I say so. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR COMRADES!"
The soldiers all yell back with a reply of a cheerful cry. The colonel then calls a officer to lead the group to the trenches and houses, which were set up with several machine guns and other weapons. The Colonel also grabbed Abram by the shoulder and gave him a look to follow him.

Abram looked at the colonel, smiling back a little, "Thank you sir, I appreciate your praise and am honored by it" And as the colonel gave them their orders he got slightly dissapointed as all his fellow soldiers started cheering and yelling like they were about to go and slaughter some weak little camp, "Didn't they listen? we'll be in the front lines taking all the fire whilst trying to hold the enemy back as good as we can" he himself replied with a stern "Sir yes sir!" He then turned around with a confused look as the colonel grabbed his shoulder, he turned around and followed the man.

The colonel walked alongside Abram with a saddened look, "I understand that your worried about these men and there sanity, but you must keep in mind comrade that they are just trying to keep the morale steady and high. Showing weakness would only lower our mens will." He looks around the shops and damaged buildings that have sustained from bombing raids with a hatred look. "The Nazi bastards never seem to care what they bomb, if its a value to us they destroy as much as they can. Someday we will prevent more of that from happening." He then looks at Abram with a reassuring look and then spots the fellow tanker he met recently. They both approach the tank crew, "Comrade Abram I would like you to meet Comrade Ivan, he is one of our tank ace and has shown that he has the skills and courage to help us in this upcoming battle. He folds his hands behind him and watches as the group exchange greetings.

Ivan chuckles as he walks back over to the T-34, Nikolai becomes visibly excited as the Colonel looks in his direction. "Sir, did he-did he look at me? What did he say about me?" Nikolai tries to ask Ivan, but he shakes his head and pushes his head back into the hatch. "Boris pull forward into the hole in the side of that building." Ivan says and gives Boris a little kick into his back. The tank jolts to life as it slowly maneuvers its way into the hole on the side of the building, the top of the tank scrapes the bricks above it, causing some to fall and clank onto the back of the tank. It comes to a slow stop inside to store, the barrel breaks one of the support pillars towards the front of the building, the structure creaks for a second before resting. Ivan opens the tank hatch once the building settles. A voice comes from behind Ivan and his tank, causing him to turn around and spot the Colonel walking up with another soldier in-tow.
Ivan smiles once the Colonel finishes talking and dusts off his hands. "Nice to meet you, comrade! I would shake your hand, but I'm a bit busy at the moment. However, I can introduce you to my crew: There is my gunner, Nikolai, my driver Boris, my loader Alexei, and my machine gunner Petrevski." Ivan says as he points to the different parts of the tank. "Ay, Ivan, what's going on?" Calls one of the members from below. "It's none of your concern, go back to your position and wait for further orders, damnit!" Ivan demands down the hatch, the crew member groans as he does what Ivan demanded. "I like to keep a tight crew around here, I have an absolute no-heresy rule and that should be followed at all times, Nikolai!" Ivan bellows below himself once more, and yet another grumble is heard from within the tank. "Sorry about that, I will wait until further orders from you, Colonel. It was a pleasure meeting you, Comrade." And with that, Ivan returns into his tank.
