"Battery Commander, this is the equipment of our 3rd Company." When Lieutenant Zwidi suddenly became nervous when he saw Battalion Commander Mark's question.

During this period, he quickly loaded the Tiger tank into the car and covered it with a thick camouflage net. Unexpectedly, Battalion Commander Mark recognized it in the darkness.

As long as he fooled the train, the battalion commander could not say anything when he was unloading the equipment. Before he could drive, the battalion commander discovered that Lieutenant Zwidi was quite nervous and it was difficult to deal with this.

The people from the 3rd Company looked at this side. Each of them was very nervous. The origin of these tanks was not right. Are they going to be taken away? It hasn't been heated yet! The smell of fresh leather inside makes people intoxicated. I really want to be with the tank every day.

Just when they were anxious, the telegrapher hurried over: "Battery Commander, Battalion Commander, and superiors called us and allocated a batch of equipment."

Holding the telegram, Battalion Commander Mark was happy: "Tiger tanks, give us six? It's great! Send someone to take them over and catch the train."

"Battery Commander, please continue to look down. We have received the tank back." The telegrapher continued.

Has been taken back? Mark looked at the tank on the cart in front of him, and had already reacted in his mind. He couldn't help but nodded to Lieutenant Zwidi: "Okay, you are capable, Hans is involved in this matter, right?"

At this time, Hans had jumped off the cart, tied up a mouse tank, and came to watch the fun.

Hearing the battalion commander praise him, Hans touched his head and said, "Battleman Commander, our tank battalion has six more Tiger tanks at once. When charging, we can finally perfectly protect our flanks and take the initiative to attack at any time. I have made great contributions."

"You boy, you are lucky, bad, wait to go to the military court." Mark's words were very strict, but there was an unconcealed smile on his face. No one didn't like the increase in weapons under his command, especially now, he only had fourteen tanks in total, and six more were added at once, and he was absolutely overjoyed.

It was almost dawn that the train was finally loaded, and the entire tank battalion began to take the train towards Romania and cross Romania. They would get off at the border between Romania and the Soviet Union, organize their troops, and attack Ao Sad.

The battle belonging to the 502 Heavy Tank Battalion was launched like this.

At this time, the war situation in Ukraine had deteriorated to the point where it was unbeatable.

With the Germans advancing in the north and the central part, Ukraine in the south was already the only prominent part of the Soviet Union. Now, in order to protect the war situation in Ukraine, after transferring Zhukov to the north, Stalin mobilized the mighty generals around him.

Xie Miao Budunny, who has a big beard, is looking at his subordinates.

The Soviets like to have big beards, but it is only a few who stay as big as Budonnie. Now, Budonnie's hand habitually touched his beard and asked his subordinates: "In other words, we can't stop the Germans' rapid attack at all?"

"Yes, Marshal, we can only arrange our troops along the Dnieper River and rely on this natural barrier to guard against the Germans." The commander of the Southwest Front frowned for General Kilbonos and said, "The German tank troops are advancing very quickly, and fortunately we have this mother river."

The Dnieper River is the second largest river in eastern Europe and the third largest river in Europe, and originates from the southern foot of the Valde Hills in Russia.

Its first section is 483 kilometers, first towards south and then westward, passing through Smolensk Prefecture, Russia; near Orsha, it turns south again; then a section of 595 kilometers, flows through Belarus, and finally, it flows through Ukrainian territory, southward to Kiev, southeast to Nepropetrovsk, and then flows to the Black Sea in the south-southwest direction.

This river runs through the entire Ukraine and can be said to be the mother river of Ukraine. Now, it is this river that gives them some psychological comfort.

The wide river can protect half of Ukraine as long as you keep these bridges. Since the issuance of Order No. 270, even generals like Pavlov have been shot, and the others are trembling, fearing that the next one will be their turn.

It would be even better if Bujonny is in charge now. This veteran who has come from the civil war can lead him to victory.

Budonie was born into a cavalry. In this era, cavalry seemed to have become less and less effective. Although he was a veteran, he would still look at the current war with a new perspective.

He knew that the German armored troops were the greatest threat to their side. In Minsk, the Germans vividly demonstrated the mobility of their armored troops, and relying on this terrible mobility to complete the encirclement of the Minsk army.

Now, the situation in Ukraine is different from that in Belarus. Ukraine has a larger land area, which makes the Germans constantly discover that their impact power is not strong enough in charge. As for Kiev, there is no need to worry about being surrounded by the Germans. The Germans cannot cross this natural barrier and they cannot complete their encirclement of Kiev.

"We build positions on the west bank of the Dnieper River, and we rely on positions to hinder the German attack." Budoni said: "Let our soldiers write their loyalty to the Soviets with their blood and lives."

He turned his head back and glanced at Khrushchev: "Comrade Khrushchev, you must also arrest the discipline of the army. If anyone dares to retreat, then shoot him without hesitation."

Khrushchev nodded.

In fact, Khrushchev prefers to stay in Moscow. He has realized the danger of fighting directly with the Germans. He seems to have never won before. Whoever takes the lead will lose. Moreover, the No. 270 order was proposed by Khrushchev. Now that Khrushchev has gone to the front line, has he retreated?

Khrushchev didn't know that he only hoped that his side could hold on and lean on the Dnieper River.

Khrushchev came here as a political commissar. He wanted to strictly enforce military discipline and prevent the troops from retreating. When Petersburg was beaten by the Germans, the Soviet morale seemed to be a little unstable.

For the sake of his career, he could not lose this battle. Khrushchev thought to himself, by the way, now he can compile some newspaper content to exaggerate how the Germans raped women in the occupied areas, how they massacred the people, and aroused their own fighting will!
